PARSIPPANY, NJ — Parsippany is home to plenty of great dining spots—and now, one local Thai restaurant has earned statewide recognition, landing a spot on NJ.com's list of the best in New Jersey.
In the recent NJ.com article outlining the 23 best Thai restaurants in New Jersey for 2025, Parsippany’s own Real Thai Halal earned a spot on the list.
Located at 33 N. Beverwyck Road in Lake Hiawatha, Real Thai Halal has been featured multiple times in NJ.com food rankings, with particular praise for its pad kee mao, also known as drunken noodles. "Guests are served a huge portion and can choose their level of spice," the report said.
The local eatery boasts secret recipes from northeastern Thailand, reimagined into modern Thai-style dishes. They use only the freshest local ingredients and spices imported from Thailand to deliver an authentic Thai flavor.
The restaurant takes pride in using fresh raw noodles rather than dry ones and crafting all of their sauces from scratch. They incorporate locally sourced produce, along with ingredients from their own backyard, to enhance the authentic flavors of their dishes, officials said.
