Nestled in the heart of Ridgewood, New Jersey, Ridge Thai delivers excellent Thai food at a reasonable price. The small establishment, with gold leaf accents on the walls and fresh bouquets of flowers strategically placed to bring pops of color, delivers a flavorful and delightful meal.
I started off with Tom Kha Ghi, a soup with a coconut milk broth base with chicken, onions, and pepper. It was quite flavorful, while Mrs. Lawhawk's Soup Tao-Hua was very light and delicate with chicken, bean curd, and scallions.
Our main courses were well presented and very tasty, including the bean curd with vegetables and a Ridge Thai specialty, the Golden Nest, which is chicken, vegetables, cashews, pineapple, and rests in a nest of noodles. My only complaint about the nest of noodles is that it wasn't crisp enough.
Ridge Thai's preparations are lighter than most Thai restaurants you'll find, which is a refreshing difference from the heavier sauces you'll find elsewhere. Tommy Eats seems to agree.
