Absolute Thai

My boyfriend and I love this place! Our first time trying it we came around 1pm and had the place to ourselves. The inside is very clean and visually pleasing, and the server was also so sweet and nice!

Besides the inside, the food was amazing. I got the chicken pad Thai lunch special (only $12!) and it was DELICIOUS. The sauce was so good and it was exactly what I’ve been craving. It’s a huge portion size and I had a lot to take home. My friends also got the curry puffs and fried rice and they were not bad either. If you’re craving Thai, check this place out!!

The food was delicious and the price was not bad. We ordered a bunch of entrees and shared family style. Everything was great. I like atmosphere. Service was great! We took my dad out to celebrate his 73rd birthday 🎂 and the staff surprised him with a fried ice cream.... which was so delicious. My dad was so happy with the surprise. Thank you to the staff that made his birthday special. 🎂 My family and I will definitely go back for more delicious food.

Not your typical Thai restaurant! From the service, the overall aesthetic, and the FOOD! I was truly blown away while dining at Absolute Thai with my sister, who is already a monthly regular. If you love authentic Thai food, then you need to come here; I promise you will not be disappointed!

Their farmhouse Southern kitchen charm really sets them apart from other Thai restaurants. June is the absolute genuine ball of joy; her energy and smile is so contagious! It's clear her passion is making people feel right at home and giving people a food experience to remember. Just picture someone bringing you into their home and cooking you their grandma's secret recipes with every bite bursting with delicious flavor. She takes time to get to know her customers (she remembers everyone!) and we loved hearing more about the restaurant and about Thailand.

We started with their Spring rolls, Drunken noodles with chicken, Chicken Pad Thai (my fav) and ended with their fried ice cream which was life changing. We even got to try their Thai iced tea which was delightfully refreshing with the cutest paper rose straws. Already looking forward to my next visit!

This place is great! We had the chicken satay, and it was delicious. My daughter had the iced tea, and she liked it. I ordered shrimp pad Thai and it had a lot of shrimp and it was not dry, which we like. My daughter got the smoked and sweet chili fried rice, and it was not too spicy. Someone at my table ordered spicy basil, and he really enjoyed it. The service was excellent! Cute decor.

This place is so cute! If you want authentic Thai food, you must come here. The Thai tea is amazing and tastes just like Thailand. Their pad Thai is delicious and so is the fried rice. You get a lot of food! Their mango sticky rice also tastes like Thailand too! Love this place and will be returning. It also BYOB which is nice.

Great food, good display, nice nd quick customer service. I know this location has turned over a few Thai restaurants but this is by far the best. Finally!

(Picture of Curry Puff and Chive Fritters) came with more but mostly gone by time I took the picture.

Everything about Absolute Thai is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! My kids love Thai so we order frequently, and we are never let down! Today, they surprised my son by including a special message/dish to make up for a mistake on a previous order! Incredible service! The best Thai food around! This place rocks!

Loved our meal here. Their tag line says ‘made with love’. Not only is the food made with love, it’s also served with love. The lady who was serving us was amazing! I am vegetarian and even though they don’t have a lot of veg options on their menu, I still ate quite a bit. I had the Thai iced tea, the chive fritters (it’s yumm… a must try coz I haven’t seen this at any other Thai place), the veggies in ginger sauce, and the taro custard (it’s warm n garnished with fried onions… what an interesting desert). My husband had the spegati with chicken… which he liked as well! P.S. I typically have bloating after I eat Thai food. Not here. The food was fresh and soul satisfying!!

Cozy authentic Thai restaurant in Manalapan. Excellent food and service.

Best Thai food I ever had! Love the spring rolls! Fried Bananas are the best desert I ever had! Great atmosphere and super friendly staff. Highly recommend.

Best Thai food in the area! :) I’ve been here many times with my family both dining in and takeout, and always have a great experience! The food is so fresh and delicious, and my favorites are the pad Thai , curry puffs , and Absolute salad! :) Also the owners and staff are always so friendly and kind! Would definitely recommend! :)

Best Thai food in the area. Service and atmosphere is charming. Put this place on your “to try” list.

Hosted a party there for lunch. Excellent food and great service! Both June and Thanya worked well with me planning the menu. Had lots of vegan guests and they were very happy with the food. Definitely worth the five stars!

Food and service was great! One of the best Thai places I've had. Beef Pad Thai and Chicken Thai Fried Rice were delicious

Clean and inviting atmosphere, very friendly service.

The crispy duck is the best around, it’s actually crispy. Braised beef noodle soup tasted delicious!

Enjoyed the lunch at this place - I had the vegetarian thai basil fried rice and wife had the chicken version. Both were excellent - spice levels can be adjusted. Also got the complimentary soup and it was yummy. Plates and cutlery were clean. Lots of parking space is available.

Word is getting out on this place. Absolute Thai has the best, authentic Thai food for miles around. Don’t be fooled by those “fusion” restaurants claiming to offer Thai food. I’ve never experienced one that was convincing. The best Thai restaurants are dedicated mom-and-pop places like this one.

Not only is the food delicious, the portions are generous and the woman who runs/owns the place is a pleasure with boundless energy. No wonder it closes for well earned vacations.

Highly recommended!!

Love this place! Always clean inside and June always takes care of her customers and always goes out of her way to know her customers by name. 100% recommend for lunch and dinner.

This has been our go-to place for Thai food for quite some time now. The flavors in many of the dishes are nothing short of magical. You can tell and taste the freshest vegetables, and the spices are addictively delicious. Prices are quite reasonable, and you get a generous amount to share dishes, or just enjoy more for yourself! The AC often tends to get the place chilly, so bring a light jacket.

Love Drunken Noodle & Beef Spicy Basil😋😋 This is one of the best Thai Restaurant and we cannot live without Thai food 😜
