Sri Thai: Thailand's Culinary Finest!!

By Dawn Straccia

  "Hoboken" otherwise known as the little gem of New Jersey, is full of history, streets lined with Brownstones and home of lengendry icon Frank Sinatra who's famous song "New York, New York"  states "if you can make it there you can make it anywhere" is a short train ride on the path and you can be in Manhatten in as little as 20 minutes, consider it the best of both worlds.

  Back in the day, Hoboken was the place to be, but then like alot of places it had gone down hill for many years until just recently, life has been restowed, and in a big way.  The main street which is Washington is full of unique shops & restaurants, including the lengendary Grimaldi's Pizzaria, the original is located right under the Brooklyn Bridge, then there is The Hoboken Bar & Grill a mainstay for many years and TLC's Carlo's Bake Shop.  But it is some of the side streets where you can find the most ecletic, artsy and unique places to eat.  So, whatever it is you might be in the mood for Italian, Indian, American, Chinese, Thai, etc. there is a wide variety to choose from at any stand point .

  Sri Thai, located on Bloomfield Street, is a converted ground floor space of a brownstone that has an inside and outside seating area.  Inside is very small with a possablity of rubbing elbows with the customer at the next table, and outside, depending on where you are sitting is a bit unlevel, so there might be a little shaking of the table, but beleive me once you start your eating journey here you will not care where you are sitting.

  Coming out of their kitchen is the the most authentic Thai cuisine you will ever eat.  Known for their Pad Thai, people drive from afar to experience it and everyone that was there was enjoying it.

  Starting off with an appetizer of Steamed Dumplings accompanied with a Chili dipping sauce.  Tender little pockets of wonton dough filled with ground pork and shrimp that were stemmed to perfection and absolutely delicious, add the chili dipping sauce for the extra kick of spice.

  For the entree's, of course, I ordered the Pad Thai with Pork, the other choices were Chicken, Beef, Shrimp or Vegetables and Ka Sup-pa-rod.

  The Pad Thai which is rice noodles, egg, bean sprouts, and tender sliced pork glazed in a peanut sauce, was out of this world!!

The Ka Sup-pa-rod, sliced sauteed chicken, peppers, onions, pinapple, and cashews in a chili sauce was spicy and bursting with flavor..  Honestly we could not get enough of either one.

  Both dishes were plentiful and the service was outstanding.   If your looking to experience traditional Thai Cuisine this is the place, keeping in mind Thai is traditionally spicy, so no need to ask to make it more unless you like it hot, hot, hot!!!
