Sirin Authentic Thai Restaurant, Morristown

My friends and I had the most delightful pre-theater dinner last night. We were quickly seated at a table for four and our bottles of wine uncorked and poured. Having been to many uneventful Thai restaurants, we were pleased to find that this was NOT the usual chunk o' chicken, red and green bell peppers, tasteless mushrooms and add sauce of choice. I started with Tom Kha Talay, my favorite Thai soup, which did not disappoint -- the balance of galangal and lime was perfect, temperature not too hot (which I hate), and the scallops floating in the soup were huge and sweet. I was also provided a dish of finely crushed red pepper to add spice heat to my liking. My partner had something called a "Snow White". I may get this next time. It was a cup (bean curd, not sure) filled with pear, cucumber, sprouts and a nice peanut sauce -- the combo of flavors was outstanding. Our friends split some classic spring rolls which came with a great plum sauce (but they were offered others sauces if they wanted) and a puff pastry with curried chicken and potato with a sweet cucumber sauce. Yum. We had more wine and a small included salad (palate cleanser sized). My entree was Massamun Beef -- chunks of beef that was apparently simmered for hours it was so tender for being well done, chunks of potatoes and a yummy brown tamarind sauce. Very flavorful and not spicy hot at all. And, thank goodness, not a single red or green bell pepper in sight -- mind you they had those dishes on the menu; it's just that they offered choice! Partner had a Green Curry Chicken dish with green peas, eggplant cubes, and a sweet green sauce. Also, we all tasted my friend's Chu-Chee prawns. I had to write that down since I was unfamiliar with Chu-Chee. A simple dish (but not plain) with one of the best red curry toppings I have ever tried. It also came available as a lightly fried fish fillet with same sauce; I'll be trying that in the near future. Now I've saved the best for last. We all passed around bites of the house special duck (? Hong Hern, I think). My god, absolutely the best ever. And served with Kiwi slices which I wasn't sure about but it turned out to be a great choice. Kudos to the creative chef. Towards the end of the meal, the hostess came by and very seriously wanted to know what we thought. You could see her pride as she heard our glowing commentary. She tried to convince us to get dessert (the coconut sorbet got my attention) but we were so full, we declined. Next time. And the next. And the next. So much more to try!

I've been meaning to write a review for this restaurant forever. My husband and I have been dining here for years. We absolutely love it. The owners are always so courteous, warm, friendly and accommodating. They will come to our table and sit with us to see how we are doing and just to chat. The food is always consistent and prepared with any special requests to perfection. The desserts are to die for especially the Tartufo. If you appreciate quality authentic Thai in a sophisticated atmosphere then you will love the place. Look at the overall reviews on this site and others and you will see that the majority of reviewers agree. We should take reviews into consideration when deciding to try a new restaurant. However, we ultimately should be making our own decisions by trying them for ourselves . Also, this restaurant had been around for 25 years. You can't survive in the restaurant business that long unless you are satisfying your customers and have repeat clientele. Enough Said...

Sirin thai is the best authentic Thai restaurant in the area. We have lived in the Morristown area for over 25 yrs and have tried all the Thai and Asian fusion restaurants in the area and Sirin is the BEST! The food quality, flavor and presentation are always outstanding! The chef/owner are wonderful and always engaging. I highly recommend this restaurant to everyone!

People who say bad things about Sirin Thai's service obviously isn't a regular customer. We've been going for years to this restaurant and the service is always excellent! The owner and chef always come out to greet the customers and are extremely accommodating. Many times we go to places and it doesn't seem like they care, but at Sirin Thai, they always remember who we are and what we like to order. The food is delicious- the best Thai food around. It's always a pleasant experience when we go there.

Excellent! Sirin Thai is our favorite Thai restaurant! I can't believe that there can actually be bad reviews for this place!! My family and I have been to Sirin Thai for years. They are the only place that we know of that has been open for over 20 years! They have great consistent food and always excellent service. The owner is always present and is very accommodating, especially when we bring our new friends. She is always helpful and friendly. This is not just any Thai food, it's exceptional! Their duck special is out of this world and they are famous for it. When you try it you'll know why. Everything from their sampling appetizers to their Tartufo dessert (yes a great Italian dessert in a Thai restaurant!) is delicious! Can't wait to go back!

The food at Sirin Thai is absolutely amazing from the appetizers all the way down to the desserts. My cousins and I have made it a tradition to come here every time I visit New Jersey, and each time we have been completely satisfied. The artwork inside is different in each room and very traditional. The customer service is also the best I have ever experienced. If you happen to be in the area and want some delicious Thai food this is the place to be.

Excellent food and service. Always good! The duck is just amazing. I have read a few bad reviews, and have to wonder if they are scams written by owners of other establishments. I have never had a bad meal or bad service at Sirin. The place is spacious and always a pleasure. I would highly recommend you try it.

My wife and I have been making regular visits to Sirin Thai for years. It's easy to get to know the owners, and they prepare amazing food. We have our "standard" order: soup (Tom Yum and Tom Kha) and curry (my wife likes the green, myself the red). Some delicious appetizers too. Compared to other Thai restaurants I've tried, Sirin Thai's food is always a "cleaner" taste: fresh flavors, never greasy. We order takeout sometimes, but when we have the opportunity we eat in. Quaint, relaxed.

This is a great authentic Thai restaurant and is great for family style eating and can quench the taste buds for both spicy and non-spicy lovers.

1/23/2010 My husband's birthday weekend was carefully planned. He loves Thai food, so I searched for one in Morristown because we were also staying at a great hotel for the night. I found Sirin Thai Restaurant online -- checked out the reviews, and made my decision. We absolutely were very pleased and enjoyed a wonderful dinner. Sirin Thai is great authentic Thai food. The ambiance -- quaint, like having dinner in someone's living room, and yet private. Donna gave us an overview of the menu and true, the ingredients are fresh. A must have? The signature duck dish and the chocolate cake for dessert! We will definately be back and bring some friends with us. Thanks to Sirin Thai, my husband's birthday weekend was a hit!
