Brookside Thai Restaurant

Just had some calamari and went to heaven.... The tea is great and smelled amazing.

Been going to Brookside for ten years or more. If there is such a thing as "New York quality" in food, you will find it here but you will enjoy it at Bloomfield prices. Quite the deal! I love this place, love the food, love the people! They take reservations and I would recommend it if you are getting there after 7PM on a Saturday.

I've been going here since 2009 and the food is great. (Obviously there are some things I don't personally like but that's just personal taste). The reason I won't give it 5 stars is the owner or boss lady is absolutely horrible. I went there with my mom once and she sat with us trying to force us to order something else because we always order the same thing. We were already eating and she just sat there harassing us. Then on another occasion we left a $5 tip (again just me and my mom) and she chased us outside and said that the tip wasn't enough. Then (this was the final straw) last week I went with my husband and my cousin and ordered what we normally ordered and something new off the seasonal menu. When they hand me the check I go to the counter and she asks how was the food, I answered her honestly and said the seafood we ordered had way to much ginger but overall everything was great. She got offended and went on a 2-3 min rant. Now this is when I decided that I was no longer going back: I always leave tip in cash because I always think it's just better for the waiter... As I sat down and my cousin placed the tip on the table she had the audacity to come to me and point at the line I put across the tip and ask "how come" she left the check and pen on the table and ran away. As if I made a mistake that had to be corrected. She saw our face of horror and came back shortly and removed it and walked away she then proceeded to tell all the waiters that we didn't leave a tip all the while the tip was on the table in CASH! As we walked out I let our waiter know that the tip was left on the table. He said thank you and smiled. That lady is horrible and has just lost a regular customer. I go atleast once a month. Try the Thai in Belleville on Washington ave. the people are great there.

Good Thai food, Good prices!! Service is ok

I have been to a variety of spots that offer up the traditional dish of Thailand, pad thai. Hands *ucking down (excuse my language), but I joke you not, there has not been a place that i repeatedly returned to, to strictly repeatedly order this one specific dish over and over again. The flavors of Thailand have never been so delicious in any other restaurant I have been to, and I will continue to return to this restaurant for every item as well. Sightly pricey, but the ingredients used are no joke- fresh, delicious, and memorable. This restaurant has a memory in my heart, because of the great people that have built that place up from the ground, as well as my tongues taste buds. I have told many people about this spot on this strip, and have heard nothing but positive everything. If you are a lover of spice and everything nice, then take a trip, your mouth will be very grateful.
