The best Thai food at the Jersey Shore 🙌🏻Our family of 4 had the best experience tonight.The hospitality was so friendly and gracious. We felt like we were eating in their home 😁We had these 4 dishes and loved all of them: Drunken noodles with shrimp (pictured), Ocean Thai fried rice, Pad Thai, and Panang Curry.Everything was fresh and bursting with flavor. If you like spice, it’s available. If you don’t, there are still plenty of dishes for you.We can’t wait to go back ‼️

This place was a home run. Food was on point. My Thai iced tea was the best I’ve had since my fav place closed down. I got the spicy basil fried rice with chicken and shrimp, and tried the peeking duck pad Thai. The duck was the second best I’ve ever had, and my meal was perfect. Taste, presentation, portion, and price All beautiful.The service was excellent. We were well attended to, somehow we had the place to ourselves, after seeing our food, I have no idea how that was even possible. If you are reading this and live in, around, or plan on visiting point pleasant beach you need to get in here.

Get the panang curry! Oh my goodness it was so good. The golden tofu, veggie samosas, and the Thai garden salad were to die for as well. Very pleasant experience, very nice staff. The food was just so good. Their sauces and salad dressing were exquisite.

Went back to Thai Jasmine (aka Ocean Thai) today. Tried the papaya salad (Somtam), which i haven't had in years. Thai staple of shredded green papaya, lime juice, tomatoes, and chillies. Very tasty. $20Also tried pad se ew gai (stir fry flat noodle with chicken and other veg). One of my favorites. I enjoyed, but a little bland. $12
