A new Thai restaurant has taken over the storefront at 99 W. Allendale Avenue in Allendale, with Joe Thai Kitchen now serving dine-in and takeout meals where a Mexican restaurant once stood. The restaurant is run by the family behind Wyckoff Thai, a neighboring operation whose owners say has been part of the community since 2015.
According to boozyburbs.com, Joe Thai Kitchen has debuted at 99 W. Allendale Avenue, taking over the former Uno Más space, which closed earlier this year. The new restaurant is positioning itself for both casual lunches and sit-down dinners, per the same report, with a menu centered around authentic Thai flavors, street-style favorites, and elevated signature dishes.
The connection between Joe Thai Kitchen and Wyckoff Thai runs deep. On its website, Joe Thai Kitchen describes itself as coming from the family behind Wyckoff Thai, writing that since 2015, our neighbors at Wyckoff Thai have welcomed us like family, according to joethaikitchen.com. The restaurant also notes that dine-in and takeout are always welcome, and that it operates as a BYOB establishment, meaning diners can bring their own wine or beer to pair with dinner.
Fresh Ingredients and a Michelin Connection
Joe Thai Kitchen bills itself with the tagline authentic Thai food, freshly made, per its website. The site also states that Joe also owns restaurants in Manhattan, and that its special menu is created by a Michelin-star chef, though the restaurant's site does not identify the chef or provide further detail about those Manhattan locations.
The arrival fills a space that sat empty for several months after a notable Bergen County closure. Daily Voice reported that Uno Más, which occupied the West Allendale Avenue address, announced its final day of service for April 18, 2026, after owners Dan and Joe Grey said they had sold the restaurant. Uno Más had opened in 2022 and operated for four years as a local favorite before closing, the outlet reported.
What Comes Next for the Space
For now, the known details about Joe Thai Kitchen center on its connection to Wyckoff Thai, its BYOB policy, and its dine-in and takeout service, as outlined on the restaurant's own site. As The Local Girl first reported the opening, Bergen County diners now have another option for Thai food within the same stretch of West Allendale Avenue that housed Uno Más for four years.
