Isaan Thai Star

The papaya salad was pretty good, but missing lime juice, not enough acidity from the lime. Other foods that we ordered were okay, and the fried pork meat was bad. The crunchy-ness of the fried fish in Basil sauce was perfect, but taste was just okay. The service was great 👍

Very good food. Not as spicy as I expected but it is still tasty. (I ordered green curry.) Mango sticky rice is a bit too sweet to my taste but overall it’s a good meal. The little back yard space is very relaxing. I would come back again.

This was my first time here, and as soon as I walked in the doors I knew I was giving it five stars. The food smelled so good right off the bat, the restaurant was clean and modern looking and even though they were very busy we were seated and served pretty much immediately. The service was decent, there were so many people that a little wait wasn't a big deal and the the food was worth every second. I liked the strawberry margarita, it wasn't too sweet and lasted through the meal. We ordered shumai for the table, streamed and those were demolished. The largest shumai I have ever had! I had the Drunken noodles, spicy level. It had a great tingle to the lips but wasn't overpowering at all. Lots of flavors and the shrimp were MASSIVE. My bf got a fried fish dish which I cannot remember the name of, but the fish batter was so light and DELICIOUS. Major win for me, and this was his first time ever trying thai food. The side of Jasmine rice was cooked perfectly as well. My mom got a curry style soup (also very yummy, I stole bites from everyone because it all looked phenomenal) which has such depth of flavor and really felt very comforting. I cannot wait till next time I visit this summer so I can come back and try something else!

Enjoyed a great meal while visiting here from NYC where there is no shortage of Thai food. Isaan could hold its own against anything at home in Manhattan. The staff was great, friendly and helpful in picking from their many offerings. The fried fish was my favorite.

I can't say enough about how fantastic the food is at this place! It has quickly become my go-to spot, and I've never been disappointed with the quality. It's also a great venue to hang out with friends.

I've only been to the new location a few times, the food is the same (delicious) and everything else has gotten better. More space, including a beautiful outside patio/garden area. Nice bar area. The whole place is very bright and airy. The staff is always pleasant and helpful. Will definitely be back and have already recommended it to friends. It's located across the street from Upper Depot Brewing and close walking distance to Warren St.

Great service. The food I recommend green curry. But the dishes are too oily and salty and it needed to be adjusted. Mango sticky rice is great, a little too sweet and chef can change the coconut sauce 🥹

The “KAI SAM ROS” and “PAD PRIK KANG” are to die for. So good.

Went there last night on Thursday night around seven it was quite busy but then it cleared out pretty quickly. Of course I forgot to take pictures of my food. I got some Tom kha soup, chicken pad Thai and of course, an iced thai tea Food came out fairly quick and it was delicious Reasonably priced

Amazing food (pad thai, drunken noodles, tom yum and tom kha soups) and the Bulleit Black Cherry Cocktail was so unique and tasty! Friendly service, clean establishment. Highly recommend.

Very nice space with friendly, accommodating staff. A great experience from beginning to end! Everything we ordered was amazing--really good pad see ew, which is my favorite go-to dish. The fried fish was outstanding, roasted chicken and pork salad dishes were also really tasty. Loved the coconut sticky rice. Great cocktail and beverage selection as well. There were so many delicious-sounding menu items, I can't wait to go back!

Food: 4 Service: 4 Ambience: 3 Date/Time 9/29/2024 7pm Crowd: 3/4 full Order: Drunken Noodle Upscale Thai place with piano player. The place could've gotten 4 stars but the extremely loud piano on top of the already loud conversations with a nearly full restaurant didn't allow for much discussion in our group. The food was very good and the Drunken Noodle was spiced very well. The server was mostly attentive but seemed eager to get our orders for some reason. They have a fairly large selection on their menu so it's not exactly a quick decision. Overall, I'd say this place would be better if used for take out as the food is great unless you like a very lively and loud place to dine.

This was legit the best Thai food I've ever had. The quality ingredients and the way everything was made holy shit. 10/10. Service 10/10. And a pianist was there tonight too. What the heck. Incredible

Everything. Food and service was superb. This has automatically become a regular stop.

This place can be found on one of the sides streets but there was lots of street parling because of it. My husband got the crab fried rice and I got the pad see ew. The noodles were huge. They looked like a sheet of noddles. Delicious none the less. They were transparent about ingredients on the menu. This was super helpful for me picking out food.

In town for a few days- decided to try the local Thai spot. Played it safe and ordered pad thai and summer rolls. Which were both good. Our friends ordered red curry chicken, a pork butte dish, tom yum soup and a spicy chicken and papaya dish. Ambience was cute, the patio lights were very cool. Despite all of the people working in the restaurant, our dirty plates sat way too long, our server never came back to ask us if we were happy with our food- we had to pile up our plates and ask for containers for our leftovers and flag down our server for our checks. All things that cause a customer to question the 22% tip automatically added. Food was good, 3 stars for service.

Surprised to find authentic Thai food in this neighborhood. The drunken noodle here is so good! The mango sticky rice was also very good. This place was one of the only restaurants open on New Year's Day.

I have yet to have a bad meal from here yet. I always stick with my go to, the drunken noodles! I just recently started doing it with the crispy chicken and wow!!! Absolutely delicious. Even as take out (which is what I mostly do) the chicken always manages to stay crispy. This is one of my favorite spots in Hudson.

We came in for dinner on a busy night and were surprised to find we were seated right away (after a baffled hostess walked around to check). Service was slow but we accepted that as a busy night. We watched servers physically run in the restaurant bevause they were confused and overworked. I couldn't tell you which person was our waitress. We ate our appetizer with our hands and once our entrees were served, we had to ask 3 different people - including going up to the bar twice - before we got utensils. I felt the staff were undertrained and undersupported, but suggesting this in another review got me attacked by the business owner. So due to the lack of ability to accept feedback, rude treatment of customers, and frankly poor treatment of their own staff - I can't recommend, despite other merits.

Love the ambiance of this restaurant which is indoor and outdoor and the customer service is amazing too. Food is also great.

Excellent food, atmosphere and staff everything ,I've had has been amazing! Staff is warm and welcoming

Stumbled across this gem walking between breweries in the neighborhood. So glad we spotted it as we were looking for an early dinner and they had plenty of tables open at that time. As we went over the menu we noticed it filling up around us which made us feel like we made a great choice. The service was quick and polite, we both ordered pork pad Thai, medium spicy. The spice level was definitely up there, but we loved the flavors and would order this dish again. The serving size was generous. They had a full bar, but we just had soda this trip. Everything was clean and welcoming, we would highly recommend making a visit!

If you enjoy Thai food or are looking to try something different, I highly recommend this restaurant. The restaurant is located on a side street, so the parking can be a little rough, but that is at no fault of the restaurant. The interior has a darker ambiance with nice décor and mood lighting on each of the tables. There is also a nice back patio for outdoor seating during the warmer seasons. The food is absolutely delicious. I've had a few different curry and rice dishes, but my favorite has to be the drunken noodles (pictured). The chicken is delicious, but I also really enjoy the extra vegetables as the broccoli has a delicious flavor. The service is always quick and the food comes out in a timely manor. The wait staff are very kind and make you feel welcome.

Food was excellent as was the service. I had a crispy fish in a sweet and sour sauce. It was a spicy dish as noted by pepper symbol on menu. I asked for mild heat. There was no heat at all, which was slightly disappointing but still delicious. My wife had a chicken pad Thai that she said was different than any other pad Thai that she's had but in a good way. The chicken was crispy and she lived the dish. The jazz band of young musicians was very good. Music was enjoyable although a bit loud. My wife is very sensitive to loud music but still enjoyed the music and said the volume did not bother her. Our waitress was attentive and good came quickly. We highly recommend this restaurant.

A great gem in Hudson. Amazing place, great ambiance and really tasty Thai food. Make sure you make reservations as it gets really packed which clearly shows what a great service they offer. They have amazing outdoor dining and live music on weekends

Booking a reservation was seamless, thanks. Everything was great for our table of 6....food and service, superb....and the live piano player...that's real class!! BUT, the place is WAY TOO LOUD! Time to invest in a lot of expensive acoustic panelling. You have a hit restaurant on your hands, so go for it. Saturday night 7pm - bar seats empty. They'd be full if you could hear the person next to you. Just sayin'. Keep up the great work. People are driving to Hudson again for dinner!!

Authentic Thai restaurant. Food was absolutely superb and served with a smile. Quite often live music on weekends. Back patio with lighting is stunning. If you are in Hudson and you like Thai food, it is not to be missed. I love this place.

We were really craving Thai when we got here on our first night for a girls weekend. Reviews looked great and the restaurant was really busy when we picked up takeout. The green curry was great but everything else was just okay including the basil fried rice, chicken satay, papaya salad and spring rolls. We didn't really like the drunken noodles, kind of dry and not great flavor. Overall it was an average spot, unfortunately not as good as we were hoping. They also didn't ask us what spice level we wanted and it was spicier than we would have liked. We likely wouldn't go back.

We used Yelp and found this restaurant. We were pleasantly surprised when we arrived to see the outdoor space and requested to sit out back. There was a fire pit which was lit and the area was spacious. Everyone seemed to be enjoying their meals. The waiter came over quickly to take our order. We were able to enjoy the outdoor breeze as we waited for our food. Everything was hot and fresh. I had the pad see ew and it was the best I've ever had. I ordered it with seafood and the seafood was so tender. It included shrimp, squid and scallops which was a nice surprise. Everyone was pleased with their meals. I would definitely recommended visiting if in the area.

Yum! We really enjoyed our lunch here just a block away from the main strip in Hudson. Cute, clean, modern interior with lots of space and quick + kind service. We had the drunken noodles and pineapple fried rice. Both portion sizes were decent and both had great complex flavor with fresh tasting ingredients. I especially loveeeed the spice level of our drunken noodles! Thai tea always a must. The spring rolls were tasty as well. Portions are a little on the pricier side but typical for the area. Solid Thai option for lunch or dinner

The staff is very efficient and kind. The drunken noodles were absolutely to die for as well. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the spices were well balanced. I didn't dine-in but the design of the restaurant is very appealing and unexpected.

The food is GREAT! Can never be more. Authentic than how they do it, and its REALLY GOOD! And the serving was huge! It can be shared by 2-3 people. The staff are also very pleasant. Ambiance is homey and airy! Will surely comeback.

Food is great - service is horrible. I have never felt really welcomed there. Honestly in all my experiences eating there, I've just felt like I was bothering them by just being there? Service has never been great. One time a Server came up to us asking if we wanted anything else (after being left outside without service for 40 mins) and when I said I wanted to see a dessert menu, they told me no the kitchen was closed. I get it - end of the night struggles but why bother asking if we wanted anything else if the bar and kitchen were both closed? I digress.

Great food! The service was awesome and the people were nice. There was live music and a cute place! Over all would reomend

One of the best Thai food restaurants I've ever been to with amazing live music from famous Hudson Valley musicians at just the right sound level to enjoy conversation at your table. The staff are truly professional and knowledgeable about the food.

Outstanding! Everything is always perfectly prepared, veggies fresh, sauces flavorful and as spicy as you like it. The staff are all lovely and we LOVE the new space. Plenty of vegan and vegetarian options too. What a delight, highly highly recommend!

Take out review: I chose the pad thai and my dining partner chose a curry. Pad Thai had minimal flavor, even the peanuts were bland. There was a good amount of vegetables mixed in, chicken was in smaller diced pieces rather than larger chunks. Curry was good, flavor, definitely spicy so be aware that they take spice levels seriously and ask for it to be more mild if needed. Service was slow, I waited at the small counter without assistance for quite a bit even though the restaurant only had two tables. We picked up the food and it was ready in 20 minutes. Prices do seem a bit high for the area but they have a large menu with unique selections.

Very good Thai place. All the standard dishes with a few other Asian inspired dishes thrown in for good measure. Portions are excellent. Flavor is top notch. Service is super fast and friendly.

Beautiful, simple decor. Friendly and attentive staff. And most importantly, delicious food, with perfect serving sizes. The tofu vegetable soup was so flavorful, the summer rolls were fresh with an amazing dipping sauce and the stir fry was filled with fresh vegetables.

In case you're wondering why EVERYTHING seems so much more expensive than it did a couple of years ago...look no further than the greedy owner of this restaurant. It's well prepared Thai food...but he's jacked the prices up ridiculously over the past 2 years. Some items have increased 30 or 40%. It's really disgraceful. As an example....Thai fried rice is 'base priced' at $17. But - you have to then 'pick your protein', and if you want shrimp - that's an extra $8. This turns out to add 5 not particularly large shrimp to the dish. So - shrimp fried rice is $25? That's more than you'll pay in NYC. Larb gai for $17? Ridiculous. Virtually every dish is absurdly overpriced...but I guess when there's no other Thai restaurant for 45 minutes in any direction - you decide you can charge whatever you like. Oh, and by the way, when you use their web site to order takeout , it automatically tacks on a 20% service charge.

Best Thai food I've ever had, great atmosphere with both indoor and outdoor seating and a fine bar. The staff is very nice and there is live music on saturdays & sundays. Honestly the best food in Hudson.

Where is the baby changing table in the restroom??food here is great, been coming for years as a take out spot but dining in has been new for us. Its a new establishment so let me ask where are the baby changing bathroom tables??? It's awful i had to change my kid on the toilet lid! I feel like establishments don't care about the clientele when i see this...

Food was excellent. Service mediocre. They had 2 waitresses for the entire place (outside and indoor). Although I was happy to see that they were busy, it was just too much for them to handle.. I saw a couple of people leave after waiting 25m for someone to even come around to take their order. The place is gorgeous. Prices are reasonable. A must try if you're in the area. Hope the service will be a little better next time.

It's beautiful inside the back patio is super cool. The waitresses are prompt. The owners are lovely and the food is absolutely delicious. Definitely worth it.

Great food and can order with whatever heat level you prefer (Thai hot fit me). Coconut margarita is so amazing!!

Food is pretty much always good. Service lately tho is terrible. Me and my family come here a couple times a month. It's kinda too bad was once one of my favorite places to go just can't stress it enough on the service. Very slow with no go. Place is always clean and normally great live music

Really pleasant restaurant with good service. There was live music the night we were there, don't know how common that is. Nothing about the atmosphere here feels particularly Asian but it is comfortable, modern, clean and pleasant. The food is tasty, the Thai Spring Rolls (vegan) were exceptionally good. We had the summer rolls also which are definitely worth eating but everybody loved the spring rolls. The food had flavor but was not very hot, the pad Thai noodles were table favorite, and the shrimp with mango was also very good, but not very spicy.

Simply wonderful. Great food and wonderful service.!Just a wonderful place to dine. Enjoy

Isaan Thai Star is yet another exceptional restaurant in the Hudson Valley, situated in the city of Hudson. The menu sparks excitement with its diverse array of offerings, surpassing the standard, monotonous menus found in many Thai restaurants that have recently popped up all over NYC. As the seafood green curry dish and SEAFOOD TOM YUM NOODLE (Shrimps, scallops, squids, rice noodle in a hot & sour tom yum soup with coconut milk, fried garlic, bean sprout, ground peanut, cilantro, scallion & fresh lime) were served, I couldn't help but notice the rare sight of plump scallops, large shrimp, and large rings of shiny squid, which not only looked appetizing but also tasted exceptional. In recent years I've found myself sifting through numerous Thai seafood bowls in search of a truly standout seafood - shrimp, squid or, even rarer, a quality scallop. It's akin to searching for gold or, in today's digital age, mining bitcoins, becoming increasingly challenging as seafood prices rise and restaurants compromise on quality. Another happy success was the PLA SAM ROS - Crispy sawaii fish fillet with pineapple, onion, scallion, red bell pepper in sweet, sour, mild spicy sauce. A huge dish of well fried succulent big chunks of fish - simply superb. Yes, Isaan dishes are very generous - all signs, including the service, showed that they love to please their customers, further than being merely transactional as so many restaurants. Everything else we ate was also excellent. Additionally, the spacious interior boasts high wooden ceilings, creating a charming atmosphere. The ample room between tables ensures you can comfortably converse with friends without being disturbed by neighboring tables or causing disruption. Furthermore, I noticed they have an expansive backyard. It was closed but I would assume it provides a delightful option for outdoor dining on sunny days.

Do not order soup from this establishment. Tastes rotten. I ordered the coconut and spicy soup, both were unbearable. I've had the duck in the past though, which was enjoyable. Probably will not return because I don't trust it.

Excellent variety of interesting food entrees and sides yummy dumpling and moist duck breast order take out. AA+

I happened upon this restaurant one day after visiting the bank next door. I love Thai cuisine and this place has a bright, clean welcoming space so I popped in for an early lunch. I ordered the red curry like I always do on a first visit to a Thai food restaurant, and my expectations were blown out of the water! Rich and creamy, bursting with flavor, and nice and spicy, it was full of fresh crisp veggies, and they made it vegan for me upon request. Had it with a lovely Jasmine tea as well. Highly recommend when in Hudson.

Some of the best Thai food anywhere near by. Amazing food options to choose from. The staff is so friendly and sweet and will answer any questions you have. It is beautiful and cozy inside. I usually get take out but will sit down once in a while for a nice meal.

Pretty much the only Thai in the area. The owner works super hard, once had him show up at my door with my delivery order. The food is good, service is great, drinks are very tasty. It used to be in a tiny storefront, the new expanded place is beautiful and had a great backyard dining area. They also have music in the summer.

Love everything about Isaan Thai Star. Their dishes are always fresh and service is attentive.

Found this cute little Thai place while visiting Hudson NY for the foliage. I think most of their business comes from takeout, or maybe we ate dinner early. It was 7pm and there was no wait for a table. It's not a bad thing. I had a Thai iced GREEN tea, which was a refreshing break from my usual black. I wish more Thai restaurants offered the option. My wife had Thai fried rice. I liked it more than she did. It was very smoky, just the way I like it. My drunken noodles were good, but a little on the sweet side. Service was quick and courteous. We had a good experience!

Delicious! I order from them when I'm at work a lot. I usually get the drunk noodles with tofu - absolutely delicious and a nice portion. The price is a tad steep at $16 but the taste is amazing. I love their green iced tea as well. Tons of vegetarian options.
