Saen Thai Cuisine

Been coming here for over 30 years! Great Authentic Thai food. Owner Boon is amazing. Yes it’s mostly take out now and you will be served in takeout containers but don’t miss this gem. Make sure to eat here every time I’m in the Poconos and always bring home a second meal to have back home!!!

Saen Thai, a culinary oasis in the heart of the Poconos, where Boone, the spice sorcerer, orchestrates a symphony of flavors that dance on the taste buds. With a mere mention of "Thai spicy," Boone, the maestro of heat, crafts a masterpiece tailored to my fiery cravings. His mysterious wife, the enchantress in the kitchen, weaves spells of culinary delight, though her name eludes me. On this gastronomic escapade, I embarked on a journey that transcended ordinary fare. A celestial offering arrived – smoked salmon adorned with the intrigue of scorpion peppers, harmonizing with onions and capers in a dance of flavors that left my palate in awe. Drunken noodles, a daring duo of chicken and shrimp, performed a culinary ballet, showcasing the artistry of Saen Thai. This audacious combination, a testament to their innovative prowess, left me wondering, who else dares to reach such heights? Reflecting on past encounters, two stalwarts of Thai cuisine graced my palate – Pad Thai, a delicate dance of noodles, and Green Curry, an aromatic embrace of coconut and herbs. Each dish, a testament to Saen Thai's commitment to authenticity and culinary excellence. Saen Thai stands as a beacon of Thai gastronomy, a haven where every dish is a love letter to tradition. The staff, an ensemble of hospitality virtuosos, adds warmth to the culinary spectacle. To label it the best Thai restaurant in the Poconos is an understatement; it's a gastronomic odyssey that transcends the ordinary, a haven where authenticity meets innovation in a symphony of flavors. Update food is still amazing just wish I got to see Boone when I went in I keep going on days he's not around he makes my day

Extremely friendly staff and delicious food!! The drunken noodles and crab fried rice were delicious. The chef came out to let us try different spices and the waitresses were very helpful.

This is just based solely on Boon's chicken, as this is all I ordered.. but I heard the rest of the food was really good. But the chicken was wrapped in leaves and very dry and hard. The staff was very friendly though. This is mostly take out. If you happen to eat there you do eat with paper plates and to-go containers.

Disappointing experience although the food was great! Why? Paper plate! Really?? Never before at a sit-down restaurant have I been served food in a "to go container" and expected to eat it on paper plates! This is not a fast-food restaurant but a regular evening dinner. The atmosphere is lovely with amazing Thai tapestries and artifacts on the walls. The owner comes and chats with you. Neighboring people at tables say hello. But at $15 or more per entree I would really expect to eat dinner on plates and be served from bowls or platters. It really took away from the great food.
