This place never misses! We’ve eaten here multiple times and they’re so good every time. The order is always right, they have generous portions, and delicious flavors. I get the pad thai, my husband gets the pineapple fried rice, and we get an order of fresh Thai basil rolls. This is our favorite Thai restaurant.

Diner Review №2

Great date experience at Thep Thai. Food was very tasty. Offers beer and Wine (Sutter Home). The wait staff recommended the Duck Pad Thai. We also had the Fried rice combo (Shrimp, Chicken, and Beef) which was excellent.
Beautiful colorful presentation.

Diner Review №3

Very good restaurant. The food is great and the employees work so hard! I’ve met the owner personally, and she is one of the kindest souls I’ve ever met. Thanks for all the great experiences, Thep thai!!!!! 😁😆

Beware of the big dog dressed in apron and tats. Comes out barking at people. Made me lose my appetite and upset my wife. Such a daym shame. More than likely not going to be returning to this restaurant anytime soon.

Diner Review №8

I was greeted and that felt so nice! I felt extremely satisfied with how everything was organized and nicely packed to go! Our food was truly delicious. We'll definitely try to dine in dinner next time. I loved the dimmed lighting in there. I felt so relaxed when I was there patently waiting for our order.

Highly recommend the spring rolls and yellow curry sauce! If you ask for a side of yellow curry sauce, they bring out a bowl of it. Goes great on everything you order. I got chicken fried rice and it fed me 2x. Delicious food. The red curry has a much stronger red bell pepper flavor and wasn't as good as the yellow IMO. I went medium heat and it was a great spice level. To each their own. Would recommend to anyone.

Diner Review №14

I take classes at U of A a couple times a year gor work, I ALWAYS make this a lunch and Dinner stop. One stay I had it for lunch THEN dinner. Beautiful medium size, outdoor eating, great traditional food choices.
You will LOVE IT!

Diner Review №15

The food was less than good. My granddaughter’sNoodles in a blob on a plate. Chicken no seasoning. Mine was watery. Disappointed. Bathroom filthy.

Diner Review №16

This place is great. Really nice Thai food. Delicious and fresh. Would recommend. It’s my fave in the area.

Diner Review №17

It’s just like Thailand 🥲 Thep Thai has always been consistent and their flavors always rock my socks off. Their pineapple fried rice is so good, I always get sad when I finish it because I always want more 😭

Diner Review №18

After 16 years of living in Fayetteville/NWA, Thep Thai is by far my favorite Thai (and maybe somewhat Laotian) restaurant. Their Tom-Kha-Gai (soup) is the absolute best in the area for 4 reasons: best in flavor (galangal and keffir lime leaf), thinly shaved onions in abundance, straw mushrooms-consistently, and they allow you to choose your own protein (or opt-out of). I think overall, Thep Thai provides the best textures in their cuisine. Their Pad-See-Ew, Pad Thai, Panang Curry, and Fresh Thai Basil Rolls are all incredible....and dangit y'all, DO NOT not skip on the Yum-Nuea salad! The dressing on top of the beef is just absolutely incredible!

It’s not Thailand but it sure makes me miss my second home. I have an apartment in Thailand with a Thai fiancée. The smells and atmosphere reminds me of being there. The outside pond needs redone but as a struggling business owner myself I understand sometimes you need to make choices on what to do. The food was good and the Thai Tea, man I miss my Thai Tea. Driving truck I don’t have a lot of places I can stop and get it but I was able to park across the street and walk over. Thank you for my tea. I’ve marked this place and I will be back.

Diner Review №21

came here with my family. food came fast and was yummy

Diner Review №22

CAUTION: Pulled in at 2:55pm for a late lunch as the open sign was lit on front and went to the side door where another OPEN sign was lit but side door was locked. Seen another door wide open by the bathrooms and thought that must be the enterance, what a mistake!!!! The 6'6" owner came charging like a bouncer, yelling turn around now and get out!!!! I said both of your open lights are on and thought you were open, he didn't care and came charging. This type of lunatic won't be in business much longer. Vote with your dollars and avoid this owner and low class joint!!@

Diner Review №23

Food is really fresh

Diner Review №24

The best Thai food in Fayetteville!

Diner Review №25

Cashew chicken curry was so delish!

Diner Review №26

Horrible serving sizes

Diner Review №27

My wife and I ordered the Thai coconut sticky rice and paid $16 for what seemed like half a serving size

Diner Review №28

Diner Review №29

One of the best Thai restaurants in Fayetteville. Their food is great to the point of being semi-gourmet. Only drawback is the price, but if you've got the money, well worth it!

Diner Review №30

Awesome food! Great service and nice quiet atmosphere.

Diner Review №31

Diner Review №32

Diner Review №33

Nice enough place, just uninspiring. The fresh spring rolls were good enough but the pad Thai was gloopy and flavorless. A friend told me they were better before an ownership change.

Diner Review №34

Great food

Diner Review №35

Great menu selections, large portions, enjoyed every bite every time and reasonably priced!!!

Diner Review №36

Diner Review №37

Diner Review №38

Very tasty Yellow Curry and Pad Thai and Crab Rangoons.

Diner Review №39

Great for lunch and dinner! Offers vegetarian/vegan options. Will always be a recommendation from me when in the south side of Fayetteville.

Diner Review №40

Run across the little bald guy with a beard run for your life.

Diner Review №41

Always my go-to restaurants in Fayetteville for Thai. The location is in South Fay, which is a fun experience in itself. The server was having a weird night, I'm guessing. Order was messed up and he wasn't happy we were there. Came in a hour before closing but people also still had menus. This was my first bad experience there and I've gone plenty of times.

Diner Review №42

Diner Review №43

Wonderful Thai food at reasonable prices.

Diner Review №44

Turns out I really like Thai food. Great place.

Diner Review №45

Diner Review №46

Love the Thai atmosphere but food is disappointing. Beef tastes like it's been in freezer for a long time... Potato tastes weird... Spend almost $60 for a group of 2 after tip wasn't expected.

Diner Review №47

Diner Review №48

Food didn’t last long enough for a picture. 10/10 recommend! The Pad See Ew is phenomenal.

Diner Review №49

Fresh and delicious, with excellent customer service.

Diner Review №50

The food was absolutely delicious, and the portions were generous. I took off one star because of the bathrooms. They are in an outside hallway and don't seem to have any climate control. I could have overlooked that, but they were dirty.

Diner Review №51

Diner Review №52

Diner Review №53

Food is good but when I ask for my food to be spicy it would be nice if y'all could make it that way. Past three times my food hasn't been spicy.

Diner Review №54

Ok place for Thai. Food was ok. Duck wasn't as I was hoping, but the thai chili sauce made up for that. Sauce for the spring roll was good.

Diner Review №55

Love this place! The Basil spring rolls reek of basil and the fried spring rolls are the best in Fayetteville that I've tried. We normally do takeout for here, the website works really well and they package the food really well so there is no leakage on the way home.

I truthfully haven't tried it yet. A friend of mine asked me to go pick up her some veggie fried rice. But will one day.

Diner Review №60

Diner Review №61

I have loved Thep Thai since I was an undergrad at the UofA. It’s great food and typically fast service. It always tastes fresh. The Tom ka Gai alone is worth the trip over.

Diner Review №62

Diner Review №63

They really need to invest in the exterior of this place but it's decent food and friendly service

Diner Review №64

Diner Review №65

I love the food here, but they're rude as hell. I called at 830 on a week night multiple times with no answer. Walked in the doors at 845for them to tell me they were closed, even though they alleged that they are open until 9pm. Unbelievably poor customer service in response to my reaction. The waitress basically just repeated thank you to me until I left. This was a personal favorite spot, but I won't be back. They cannot have any more of my money.

Diner Review №66

Freshly prepared pineapple fried rice! It was delicious and we will be back next time we are in town!

Diner Review №80

The food is always good here. It's our top 2 Asian places to eat. Spring rolls, dumplings, pad thai-everything we've had has been delicious.

Diner Review №81

Great food!

Diner Review №82

One of the best Thai places in Fayetteville. They grow their own veggies and the food is delicious. Definitely love the larb and the spicy coconut soup!

Under new management, quality food at affordable prices. Helpful staff.

I ordered my food to go, but I noticed the place was very clean. The food was so good I almost cried. I ordered the chicken pad Thai, and spring rolls. I added shrimp to the Pad Thai.. 🔥🔥

Diner Review №90

Your in business to do business, run it like you actually care about your business. If I can't make an order through you and you tell me that you are relying on a 3rd party to do business, then what are you doing.?
I wanted some food, but you literally can't deliver.

Go to Thai food anytime, thank you very much!! Quality and quantity is on point, flavor and spice are just nice, top favorites from a local!

Always enjoy dining in or taking out. The staff is always friendly and the food is great. Just be warned... medium spicy is a bit on the hotter side! My wife left me lots of leftovers! Lol...I can take the heat.

Diner Review №120

My favorite Thai restaurant in NWA. Delicious food and a beautiful location. I miss the lunch specials with that chicken and rice soup though. I hope you consider bringing it back.

Diner Review №121

Always fresh always delicious.

Diner Review №122

This place used to be so good, what the heck happened? I mean I know portions get smaller and prices get higher, even if we don't like it we expect it. But you should try to at least keep your menu items the same, so if we order something we get what we expect. I only ordered three things and it was the first order of the day and you got every single one of them wrong. I totally don't get it like completely wrong.

Diner Review №123

Great food great service

Diner Review №124

I really like the outdoor dining option. Unfortunately, the truck traffic is loud and distracting. Not much the owners can do about that. Unless they could move the patio to the back of the building!

Diner Review №125

Really great Pad Thai. Enjoyed it.

Diner Review №126

Good food and the best thing about this restaurant is that they have bigger food portions than other Thai restaurants around the area

Diner Review №127

It was great! My 7 year old got the #34 and loved it with the fried tofu. He absolutely loved the crunchy noodles. My 9 year old got the tofu fried rice and loved it. I tried both their meals and it was delicious 😆. I tried the appetizer rolls with shrimp and peanut sauce and they were delicious. I ordered one of the coconut currys and I wasn't a fan (it just seemed watered down and like it was missing something). It didn't taste bad, just lacking. The hubby got the #34 and was very happy with his choice. All and all I would go again and get the #34.

Diner Review №128

Delicious and fresh, compostable to-go bags and containers

Diner Review №149

Diner Review №150

Diner Review №151

Great place! Love to get pad Thai, red curry (or any other curry). The Thai hot is very spicy!

Diner Review №152

Best pad thai in Fayetteville

Diner Review №153

Don't let the aging exterior fool you, venture inside and you will be rewarded with flavorful Thai cuisine, cold beer, and attentive service.

Diner Review №154

Great Thai easy to order online never disappoints

Diner Review №155

Waited to be seated for a while but it was lunch time.food was hot

Diner Review №156

We had the Phai Thai. It was delicious. Great price. We ordered to go and when we arrived within 15 minutes the food was ready for us. Very friendly people.

Diner Review №157

Next time I will cook! Not good Massaman Curry, the beef tasted old. She ask me how it was and I told her I wasn't good and she said $12.50. Left most of it on the table.

Diner Review №158

Passing through fayetteville and stopped here for lunch, was worried we'd have to eat in the car bc our doggies were with us but their patio is pet friendly and has a nice garden and pond and very ambient atmosphere to it.

Diner Review №159

Always, nice, excellent food!

Diner Review №160

Hands down the best Asian restaurant food my wife and I have ate. A plus experienced

Diner Review №161

Diner Review №162

Good food but smaller portion and no lunch menu any longer. Cost too much for what I received.

Diner Review №163

Flavorful, fast, friendly. Decent beer selection.

Diner Review №164

Diner Review №165

Terrible experience. The lazy redhead that took our order should be fired immediately. Not only was she sloppy and taking our order didn’t bother to turn it in. Food came out atrocious. Burnt steamed rice. Forgot our appetizer. Green curry came out looking like vomit.

Diner Review №166

Great spot for some delicious Thai. I had the drunken noodles and they were fantastic. I requested the highest spice level and wish they were hotter, but I like spice. Awesome place, you won’t regret it.

Diner Review №167

My favorite food in Fayetteville

Diner Review №168

So delicious with great service!!

Diner Review №169

They never disappoint. I like mine over Thai hot. It's usually a "little" extra spicy but I think it needed more. JK. It was wonderful.

Diner Review №170

Diner Review №171

Thep Thai was phenomenal. The restaurant was very clean and the service was great. The food was incredible, I had the massaman curry with steamed rice and would get it again in a heartbeat. The consistency and flavor of the curry was perfect. The dish itself was the perfect size, it was not so big that I was bloated afterwards and not so small that I was left hungry. The prices were very fair for such a good dish, most of the dinner options are between $8-$12 a plate and most come with rice or noodles. The menu is very comprehensive and easy to read. I also recommend the spring roll appetizer. This was a great place to eat with friends with great food and a fantastic atmosphere.

Diner Review №172

Diner Review №173

Ok the food is obviously amazing.. but that was also one of the best fountain Cokes I've ever had!

Diner Review №174

Diner Review №175

Diner Review №176

Worse Pad Thai ever had in my life!!! With tofu! Tofu taste like rubber. Food was dry and 0 spice. Threw it all out!!! Friend had vegetable shrimp dish . No spice .... dry.... awful!!!

Diner Review №177

Wonderful flavors

Diner Review №178

Horrible customer service. Only table in the restaurant and had to wait 15 minutes before anyone acknowledged we were there. All the while, 3 employees stood at the counter and stared at us. We did not receive a greeting or any personal interaction at all. Got up to leave and finally had someone ask us if we would like to order. Worst service ever!

Diner Review №179

Diner Review №180

Never disappointed. Best Thai restaurant in Fayetteville

Diner Review №181

I recently ordered some Tom Kha Gai soup there and I do not recommend it.
It tastes like vinegar and has way too many onions in it. That being said, the staff was very friendly and I've never had any other food there.

Diner Review №182

Diner Review №183

Diner Review №184

Best Thai in town. Beautiful landscaping and atmosphere. Great service and the food is phenomenal!!! Highly recommend!!!!!

Diner Review №187

Diner Review №188

Not the best thai food in the area. It's okay, but there are better places. Also had a weird experience once where they didn't get our food right and tried to argue with us about it.

Diner Review №189

very good vegan Thai food.

Diner Review №190

We had the chicken pad thai, absolutely horrible. We both had maybe 4 pieces of chicken in the entire meal. Very oily and the fishy taste was overwhelming. I asked for medium spice on mine and I had zero spice. I couldn't even finish half my meal. Definitely not returning.

Diner Review №191

Unsanitary. DO NOT EAT HERE! They gave me rice that was obviously recycled. Had sauce in it and was clearly dumped into this box from another. Cold and hard.

Diner Review №192

The smallest portion of curry for 16+ dollars (I added shrimp and chicken).

Tastes great, but I feel cheated

Diner Review №193

Diner Review №194

Delicious sums it up!

Diner Review №195

They are back to no dining in.

Diner Review №196

Best pad thai I have eaten in a long time!

Diner Review №197

It was a very nice place. But prices are a little high

Diner Review №198

Food is great, customer service is trash. Wait times are insane.

Diner Review №199

Diner Review №200

Amazing food. Best in town. Figured I give another business a chance. That was a BIG mistake. I ordered from Salathai and the food tasted rotten and the owner refused a refund or offer me another meal.
