It's been a while since I have been inspired to blog about a restaurant, but that changed this evening! We came across a little Gem right in Hazlet NJ called Ae's Thai & BBQ. Two people from two different cultures married and so did the food!
The casual atmosphere is very warm and inviting. The menu is quite unique, offering authentic Thai cuisine as well as good old American BBQ fare. There is something for everyone including Vegan and Gluten Free dishes. Family friendly and also an enjoyable BYOB night out with friends.
There are noodles and rice dishes, sweet and spicy dishes, chicken, pork and fish options and even ribs and mac & cheese, how about that! The menu has lots to offer and the service was great!
I ordered my favorite soup Tom Kah, a creamy coconut broth with lemon grass, mushrooms and chicken as a starter. It was one of the best Tom Kah I've ever had. Others at the table ordered the Vegetable Spring Rolls with Plum Sauce. You get a generous portion of six crispy rolls filled with deliciousness.
The main meal included Chicken Pad Thai (thin rice noodles with vegetable and peanuts) and Pad Kee Mao (broad noodles with spicy pepper and sweet Thai basil), both of which were super fresh and bursting with flavor.
Great service and great menu choices. Very tasty and just like it should be - you choose your heat. Great value for the money and good serving sizes.
I can't wait to return and try the BBQ menu!
Go there, you won't be sorry!
