Lil Thai Pin in Princeton

Service and food is amazing, best restaurant on nassau <3

Great food and pick up is always ready super fast!

Great little place. Good for takeout but they have some seating if you just want a quick bite. Pad Kee Mao was excellent.

The worst thai food experience. Food was served in plastic cups. Not good response from the owner. Food was just OK. Do not recommend this place.

I came to Princeton with my family and found this amazing place, Pad Thai is delicious, pineapple Fried rice is delicious Highly recommend, Thai mango sticky rice Taste good

The food is okay, but the dining experience left a lot to be desired. Go with online ordering for take out and youll be good.The host was not graceful in explaining the new policies: the menu entrees are now only available as more expensive dinner servings. Also, tap water is not served, only bottled water. Little patience for dinners just encountering the menu for the first time.

Very slow to make food. Something was burning, Im surprised the fire alarm didnt go off. I also didnt see anyone washing their hands going between checkout and assembling food

I finished my tom yum soup and was still hungry....bigger portions would be appreciated. The food itself was OK (albeit too spicy for my liking).

Hope theres a 0 star for this. They forced cash paymenet under 15 bucks. I asked why but the owner kept saying thats the rule. Cant believe this, probably to avoid tax. Worst place to go.

The place is alway clean and well kept. The food is fresh and tasty. Will definitely be visiting again.

Excellent Thai food. Casual dining room with friendly service

Horrible service. The cashier/server was extremely rude and insulting. We asked for a few extra bowls and he scowled at us, gave us some and then said, "no more". To answer any question we had, he was loud and every body language of his was as if he was doing us a favor. We wanted to order more food, but stopped because we didnt want to be talked to this way. We stayed because we were a large group and were able to block him out of our minds. Had it been just a couple of us, wed have given him a piece of our minds and left. Finally when my sister went to pay, and she added the tip, he said he wont accept it and wanted more tip. If it were me I wouldnt have tipped him at all for such horrible behavior. Now I see similar reviews below by other customers. And the owner is always defending his staff. Note to owner - If you want to maintain business on such a popular street, teach your staff some basic things first like etiquette. People who have tried to enjoy a meal have left with a sour taste in their mouth.

Nothing special about this place. Expensive and quantity is very less. Place is clean and well kept!

The food here is ok, though slightly overpriced. You cant order tap water, which is a big minus.

The restaurant has great red curry, tom yum soup, and wok basil dishes. The staff was very courteous and attentive.

Hostile cashier who was constantly coughing without wearing a mask. He first tries to get you to pay with cash, before offering credit card only as last resort. Not hygienic, touched food when serving. Overpriced. Restaurants answers to bad reviews on here do not reflect the reality.

The worst thai food we aver had. Ordered the beef pad see ew, it didnt have a good taste the pineapple fry rice was just ok. The service sucked the old man was coughing the whole time NOT A GOOD LOOK we had to ask for napkins he gave us 2. I dont even think they are thai people because I understand thai and they didnt sound thai to me. Overall we didnt have a good experience. Not thai food. 😕

Amazing food! Fast service! Customer service could have been a tad bit nicer but the food def made up for it. Ordered on the phone, and 5 minutes later when we arrived we decided to eat in, and items were already ready! What more can you ask for!TRY THE THAI RED CURRY WITH SHRIMP (10/10)pineapple fried rice (10/10)And Ofcourse the pad Thai (9/10)They said they serve halal chicken and meat (would love additional confirmation though)

People in the kitchen who are making your food don’t wear any PPE while they make and prepare the food. I went for some takeout and wanted to immediately leave, forgoing my order, when I saw thru the window the total lack of masks and even gloves. I did get my order and left. Didn’t eat it.

Overpriced, underwhelming, RUDE SERVICE. Just ate here tonight. Expecting a quaint little meal, maybe fast food style, that’s certainly what we got... but for a premium. 2 appetizers, 2 mains—small portions, as most of the other reviews here say, and underwhelming flavoring—a tea and water all for the price of... $60??? To top it off, the cashier/store front asked us for a tip after making us pay at the counter and serving our food in cardboard bowls with plastic flatware... when we explained the absence of tip because it was overpriced, the man gesticulated in the air as if to say “piss off” and grunted over to clean the table. His poor attitude is confirmed by the other reviews here. They are acting hard up for cash and this place feels like paying a high price for a shakedown when THERE ARE MUCH BETTER THAI RESTAURANTS ON THE SAME BLOCK (Amazing Thai, Thai village; I recommend the drunken noodles with seafood at Amazing Thai, can’t be beatand then the owner has the audacity to claim every one of these reviewers is wrong? raggedy behavior...In all, they are serving less than truck food quality out of this place and acting broke. Not a fun experience. Two stars for edible food and decent decor.

Pretty great food, but some dishes have non-standard ingredient choices (e.g. tomatoes in pad kee mao). Again not necessarily bad, just unexpected.

Went here super hungry as a group of 4 after an afternoon out in the winter air. My husband is gluten free (due to an allergy, not by choiceand ordered with the assurance that his dish did not have wheat noodles in it. We dug in as soon as it arrived, all of us knowing that what was in front of us wasnt enough, but not wanting to be the downer. My husband was immediately suspicious of the consistency of the noodle. Waitress insisted they were egg noodles. Well, egg noodles are not just egg, they are egg with wheat. The dish went back and he re ordered. The waitress, instead of being apologetic, proceeded to tell him that this new dish would cost an extra $1. Seriously?! She then proceeded to get really nervous about her mistake and started talking on and on. She was worried he was going to go into anaphylactic shock. Eventually she concluded that he isnt really allergic to gluten, he just has too much stress in his life. Very pleasant while you are trying to enjoy dinner with your group.

The food are decent, but the portion is on the small side, and this is in comparison to other Thai restaurants that I have been. Also, prices are on the higher side.

Got the Pad Thai, Wok Basil chicken and shrimp fried rice. Everything had great flavor and was not overly oily. The food was ready for pickup super quick, and when we got there, the employees were also very friendly. Definitely the best Thai spot for undergrads in Princeton.

Its okay. It made me appreciate how good my neighborhood Thai place is at home. The sesame chicken was very sweet and the flavors of the drunken noodle lacked zip.

Great service and safety precautions where only one party dines in at a time, and they check your temperature and make you leave a contact with lots of sanitation! Great food as well.

No sure if it was an owner or manager but he was very rude and pushy with ordering, even when the place is completely empty.The food was ok but not worth being treated with bad customer service for

Food is too expensive, you can get better fast food. The cashier / waiter put our forks directly on the table which is unhygienic, so I decided to get another fork.. When we left, my friend saw the waiter take the forks we didnt use on the table and put them back for reuse.. This place is waiting for a trip from a health inspector.

This place is amazing! Loved the green curry and the wok basil! Can’t wait to try something else next time too!

Not for the religiously vegetarians. Even after big disclaimers while placing order, got chicken in the dish. Discounting for human error, servers initial response (oh only a piece, he took it out in front of us and returned the dish as is to uswas alarming enough, dont even want to think how dishes are prepared in kitchen. Friendly but not for us.

Delicious! Veggie pad thai had many types of vegetables not just carrot/pea/pepper mix and same with the veggie pineapple fried rice. Not overly salty or doused in sauce but great flavor.

I’ve never had such delicious Thai food in my life and I lived in NYC for years.Prices are decent as they give plenty of food to feel satisfied always!Pad Thai, lo mein and sesame chix are amazing.. oh and the Sam rod shrimp is super yummy and flavorfulEven my husband who is super picky LOVED it.Can’t wait to bring the kids!See you soon!!

As a Thai food lover, I am so glad I found this place because it’s always so hard to find authentic pad ki Mao that can be made vegan !! The Tom yum noodle soup is pure deliciousness! I was so grateful that they were able to substitute rice noodles for me instead of the regular egg noodles. This is definitely going to be my new go to Thai food restaurant!

I love every single dish Ive had there so far! This includes shrimp pad thai, tropical mango chicken, pineapple fried rice, red curry with chicken, etc. I strongly recommend this place!

One of the best pad thai ive ever eaten.Have been to thailand but the food here os exeptional.My friend and me ordered 2 bowls and had to go for the third because it was that delicious.The Thai ice tea was like cherry on the cake.The service staff and the owner were friendly and seem very confident about the food.A spot that has value for your money and doesnt at all compromise on quality.

My husband, daughter, and I went to have dinner at this restaurant last night and the food was amazing! The host/ owner was super friendly and actually interacted with us. I had the Red Curry, my Husband had crab fried rice, & my daughter had veggie lo mein! All 3 dishes were amazing! To top it all off, they are Eco friendly with their “to-go” containers and serving dishes! Excellent choice!

Went in speaking English, and without understanding me, they told me (in Chinesethat we could speak Chinese. I have lived in English speaking countries for 7 years and they simply judge me from my skin and think I only speak Chinese and can’t speak English well ? Sounds like discrimination to me or at least superficial/unprofessional. What if I’m Japanese or Asian American? At least ask me to repeat my question if they didn’t hear me well the first time.1 star if happens next time

This is my absolute favorite Thai place, they are extremely generous with their servings and toppings such as vegetables or chicken. Their staff is friendly. Additionally, the food comes relatively quickly as well as being delicious. I highly recommend!

Excellent food and service. Curry noodle soup and pineapple fried rice are delicious. Portion are good and good to share with two people

The curry was really watery and overpriced. Each dish was ~$15, but was of fast food quality.

I love Lil Thai Pin! Their curry noodle soup and pineapple fried rice are especially good, and their prices are reasonable. Great casual place to pop in to, or to stay to have a longer meal. The restaurant itself is pretty small, but there usually isnt a problem finding a seat (unless you come with a very big group). They also are environmentally conscious, and if you give them your take out containers when youre done theyll wash and reuse them to not waste plastic- love to see that!

I was conflicted between giving this place two or three stars. I decided on three stars as, within the context of Princeton town (read: lack of ethnic cuisine), the food quality and service were understandable.With that said, I ordered the Pad See Lew and Lo Mein (Lover). Both noodles seemed to be drenched in soy sauce and the pad see lew, in particular, was missing its characteristic sweetness. The lo mein chicken was dry. Aside from excess saltiness of the food, the indoor area was cramped and for some reason the restaurant favors biodegradable, paper serveware. Considering the quality and price, I would recommend walking a bit further down Nassau Street to Tiger Noodles.

Tasteless Thai food I ever had. Chicken is very smelly I’m not sure it’s fresh I had to separate it.

The owner was sneezing and clearing his nose for 10 minutes very loudly, so we just left without finishing our food. We couldt take it any longer. Food is also not that great. Prices are high for "grab and go" place.

Didnt know it was mainly a takeout spot. Decided to dine in. Bad idea there... The Green curry was adequately spiced, yet seemed to lack a few items. The green beans were standard "juicy" variety. I am used to haricots verts being present... The curry was served in a disposable paper bowl that imparted a cardboardy taste near the end. Ill go back to try the tom yam or some drier noodle type things next.

Really long waiting time (over 20min)for the simplicity of dishes we ordered. The other dishes on the menu might be great or wonderful, but mine was overly salty to the point that the original flavor of ingredients was totally destroyed. Brought it up with the server but nothing was done. I usually don’t leave negative reviews but this wasn’t a good experience at all.

I ordered for fresh Tom yum chicken soup and lettuce wrap.Tom yum chicken soup was very authentic and nice. I ordered for a large size and it was very adequate.Lettuce wrap was good too.Service was excellent and the food was delivered to the table in a short time.

Tried this restaurant for the first time tonight. Had the Tom Yum Soup, Pad Thai and Red Curry. The food was great and the owner was very friendly!!! Will definitely come back.

I love Thai food and every time I go out I’m always disappointed. BUT I walked into this restaurant with a friend and my mind was completely blow! The food was so good and made so spicy (I love spicy foodsthat I couldn’t put my fork down! Not only was the food amazing but the workers were so sweet and patient when I asked so many questions. If you love trying new foods or love Thai foods EAT HERE, you won’t regret it!

I just ordered a Sam Rod Shrimp, a Thai red Curry and some Edemame !!!!! Yum. I have been eating Thai food for the past 10 years and so far this is one of the most authentic foods I have ever had!!!!
