  I've ordered takeout twice and the food has been delicious both times. The restaurant looks beautiful from the pictures. I can't wait to eat there in person.

  We took out appetizers and entrees and everything was ready on time, hot and delicious. The atmosphere is less hectic and crowded than some Upper Montclair venues. The prices very reasonable. This is a keeper.

  It was our first time ordering a take out from KorKai and our family was very impressed by all the dishes. The flavors and ingredients were great! It was ready for pick up at the designated time. We would definitely order again.

  KorKai Thai Restaurant offers an intriguing dining experience that sits somewhere between modern elegance and experimental design. Stepping inside, the blue porcelain floor tiles and matching soap dispensers in the restroom immediately evoke the vibrant charm of Porto, Portugal. The walls are adorned with an interesting collection of variously framed mirrors and artificial floral arrangements. Alongside the modern ceiling pendants, these elements might feel a touch discordant at first glance, but they ultimately contribute to a charmingly eclectic and fun atmosphere. The dining room is kept quite bright for an evening service, yet it hums with an energetic, welcoming vibe. Since the restaurant is BYOB, I brought along a cherished bottle of white Burgundy to accompany the meal. The culinary highlights of the evening were undoubtedly the appetizers. Dishes like the Roti Massaman and Papaya Salad were executed beautifully, offering complex, vibrant flavors that set a high standard. However, the main courses—such as the Seafood Drunken Noodles and Thai Basil Beef—featured sauces that were intensely seasoned and leaned heavily on the salty side. Unfortunately, these bold, aggressive flavors completely overpowered the delicate notes of my special wine, making it difficult to properly enjoy the pairing I had looked forward to. The mains absolutely demand a generous portion of steamed white rice to balance the palate. That being said, those robust flavors meant the dishes made for spectacular, deeply flavorful leftovers the following day for lunch. Despite the bustling weekend rush and a seamlessly endless stream of pickup orders, the staff remained genuinely friendly and attentive. For practical convenience, there is a paid public parking lot located directly in front, making logistics incredibly easy. I will certainly be returning, perhaps keeping the strong sauces in mind when selecting a wine, just to spend another evening enjoying their outstanding appetizer menu.
