We ordered pad Thai and pad see ew take out for lunch. It was the best Thai I have ever had in Baton Rouge. I go to Dallas and always get Thai food because BR Thai food scene is weak at best. Until trying Sambath Donuts. Wow! Absolutely delicious. My husband picked it up so I can’t speak to the atmosphere but he said the woman working there was so kind to our son and offered him some donut holes. What a sweet gesture. We will be back whenever our Thai cravings hit, but do not sleep on this place.
Only con is they aren’t open for dinner! 10/10 recommend.
Even with my absurdly high standards,
I was extremely happy with the Thai (Pad Thai) and Cambodian(Amok fish) food here. If you’re only getting doughnuts you’re missing out on one of the very few delicious authentic homemade Asian eateries in Baton Rouge. One important detail to keep in mind is that this is not fast food - each dish is made from scratch and therefore takes some time to prepare. Calling ahead with your order may be wise, but if you didn’t, it is definitely worth the wait.
First the good: the glaze on the donut holes was top notch. They have some kind of lemony flavor that is just fantastic.
Why did I have to remove a star? Its just too expensive. I did not expect to spend over $30 on breakfast for me and 2 kids at a donut shop.
Stopped by for donuts one morning and happened to be there on the first day of their new lunch menu roll out. Not only does Sambath have great donuts, the lunch is delicious! Everything was made to order. Mr. Wes and Ms. Sam couldn't have offered better service and food! Next time you're in the area and is looking for donuts and a little something extra, skip Shipley's and stop by Sambath's Donuts & More. You won't regret it!
Excellent Service!!! Cashier was very friendly and welcoming. Pad Thai was fantastic. There could’ve been less liquid in my Thai. Beyond that DELICIOUS!!! I will be returning.
Rude obvious woman that works there … much like the soup line skit on the friends series!!! If you know then ya know !!!!
Little hole in the wall with a great cheap and fresh breakfast sandwich
Amazing food special the best pad Thai i have so far 🥰🥰I come here just to have it and also the owner is really nice🥰

10x spice was delicious! Haven’t tried the donuts yet, but I definitely will next time. Very friendly people!

The BEST fried rice, especially if you are on a diet, or not on a diet 👍
I highly recommend her home-made cooking, feels and taste like home-made.
Sambath is hands down the BEST place to get a variety of AUTHENTIC Asian cuisine - Thai, Cambodian, Vietnamese! The owner is Cambodian and pours herself into her cooking. You can taste the pride and quality ingredients in her food! The Pad Kra Pao is superb and the breakfast is always fresh! If you’re still reading this, then please run (or call and place your order ahead of time) to Sambath!
Hidden gem
Great food
Excellent Service!!! Cashier was very friendly and welcoming. Pad Thai was fantastic. There could’ve been less liquid in my Thai. Beyond that DELICIOUS!!! I will be returning.
I had gotten the beef loc lak and it was so good I forgot to take a picture. Everything looked and tasted fresh, I would definitely order again!
BEST THAI IN BATON ROUGE, LA. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Their pad thai is really good. Owners are super friendly.
Also their donuts are very good. Breakfast or lunch you will leave happy.💯
No communication for being closed. Placed an order and waited a good bit to have it cancelled and recieve nothing and nobody to answer a phone call.
Great experience!!
Excellent
The food was fabulous. I made a special request and it was honored. Awesome 👌
the premier kolache
Me and my son love it here! We were made to feel so welcomed & the food is TOP TIER! It’s literally the only Thai food we eat in Baton Rouge! Try it!!!!
Super super nice & friendly , i highly recommend going back there, food and doughnuts are so amazing. she’s the most thoughtful and kind woman I’ve met in a while she’s very generous and wholesome and super sweet 10/10 thank you for being so kind
The owner was really friendly and the donuts were great as well! Will definitely order from here again.
I LOOVEEE this place so much! Some of the best breakfast food/donuts i have ever had and the thai food is..extraordinary!! PLEASE PLEASE eat here!! <3
Fantastic donuts! And I love the ham egg and cheese croissant. Owners were very nice when I visited. Can’t wait to come back and try the Thai lunch
Got breakfast takeout for a work presentation and everyone loved it! Sambath was helpful and friendly. Would recommend to anyone, I’ll definitely be using them again.
LSambath is a wonderful owner and a great person. The food is also dynamite too as a bonus! Go there
The kolaches are the best !
A wonderful little shop right on Essen Lane. The owner is amazingly kind, the pastries are delicious and fresh, and the prices are good. Also, they have breakfast foods and serve lunch orders of Chinese, Thai, and Cambodian dishes. This was our first visit but we will definitely be back!
Love love love this place. The worker was super sweet! And the donuts were delicious! Definitely will be going back
Now, I have had a lot of experience with donuts and pastries... The best apple fritter I've ever had, the best boudin kolache I've ever had (She told me she makes the boudin herself- Cajun stamp of approval on that) it's not like the most spicy boudin but it is delicious 🤤. Besides food, the service is wonderful, I feel like I've been cared for rather than just served. My new cheat day spot for sure!! Can't wait to come try their Asian lunch foods!!
Great food and quick service
I’ve ordered the Beef/Chicken Pad See Ew for the first time here after just having a craving for Thai Food. I came here after remembering a food review and heard they had amazing options. And yes, this place did NOT disappoint. Beyond solid food and amazing service given.
This was my first time having Thai food and it was great! Highly recommend the Mango Salad for those hot days, so light and refreshing. The owner was very nice and cooked the food to order herself. Will definitely be back with friends and family to try the breakfast options and more authentic Thai food.
Hey Sambath I stopped by there this morning and got three donuts and one milk, donuts were great, just wanted to let you know to check you cooler where you keep the milk, the milk was very warm and sour, just for your regular customers, I'm from Gonzales and had a doctors appointment is the reason I didn't go back.
Very pleasant place family oriented
Great Food Great Service!!!
Top notch service!!! Best Thai food in BR
First experience was awesome, food was cooked fresh and tastes amazing, big portions for the price too. 10/10 would recommend
Terrible customer service!
This morning, I ordered two breakfast sandwiches over the phone and was told it'd be ten minutes. I waited ten minutes, walked over, and the sandwiches weren't made at all. The boy behind the counter had completely forgotten. I said I'd wait another ten minutes and come back, because I very much wanted breakfast, and when I came back, the sandwiches still WERE NOT MADE. he said he thought i'd changed my mind, when I clearly expressed that I'd be returning. worst customer service experience I've had in a looonggg time. And I was still charged for the two kolaches I settled for out of complete starvation.
5/5. Customer service was amazing and the donuts are even better. I got the sausage egg and cheese on a croissant and a couple of donuts. It was delicious
Great service
I’ve lived here 3 years and can’t believe I didn’t stop before! Pad thai and donuts are both delicious and totally fresh, even right before closing. Excellent service. Their staff are so kind!!
Noticed this place a few days ago and figured that I like Thai food and donuts so I would give it a try. It was amazing. The food is so flavorful and perfectly balanced. My party had pad Thai and lo mein and both were fantastic.
Truly a gem hidden in plain sight? I've had Pad Kra Pao, and chicken curry so far. Both were great. Got more on the list to try.
Some of the best donuts and Thai food in Baton Rouge!
Absolutely amazing! Everything is amazing!
The best Thai food and donuts. Sam is a sweetheart...
The donuts are good. They are so soft and light. The kolaches are tasty too.
Best pad thai in the city l no l
Great customer service and great food. Will definitely be back!
Best pad thai in town. They make it to order which takes some time but is worth the wait. Also the Doughnuts are pretty good.
Best donuts and kolaches in all of BR! Best prices, amazing taste, and they're so kind!
Super friendly service. Excellent Thai food. Great donuts. Can't go wrong with the pad thai and the egg rolls. Everything I have tried has been really good! I recommend you give it a try
I was introduced to Sambath when I first visited BR and couldn’t believe how good these donuts were. Now that BR has become one of my favorite places, I never miss a chance to stop off and get a few (or a dozen for the family). These donuts are truly some of the best donuts I have had and I yes, I would put them head to head with Krispy Kreme.
They were closing at 2 but still let us order. The owner was so nice. We will definitely be visiting here again!!
Very nice owner, willing to make what your looking for that they offer early in the am
It's a small place but it's very friendly environment the donuts are really good but her breakfast sandwich was the best overall.
Great food! Great service!
Excellent Pad Thai
ordered on uber eats, they got 70% of my order wrong
Great food! Made to order dishes steaming hot right out of the kitchen. Food is locally sourced which is a plus. I had a Cambodian style fried rice. As a bonus, it came with a donut for dessert!! Delicious and fast.
Great food! They have fresh and delicious pastries and great customer service! I love this place!!! Sam is one of the nicest people I’ve met in the restaurant industry!
Amazing donuts and Pad Thai !!!!! Great service and very nice. We come every time we drive down. A forever customer
Sambath has fantastic food and the people that work there are equally fantastic. The donuts are amazing and so is the Thai food. The Pad Thai is their most popular dish and for good reason. I also really love their Cambodian and Khmer dishes. No other restaurant in Baton Rouge offers theses dishes. I need to try them all!
Fresh, perfectly spicy & delicious!!
Great food and donuts. Friendly service
Donuts are fresh and delicious and the pad thai was the best I have ever had. Employees are friendly and courteous. I highly recommend this place.
Wonderful customer service :-) Excellent food as well ! Great experience!!
I love Sambath’s doughnuts!!!
The best Thai food in Baton Rouge!! I'm absolutely ecstatic that I have found this small hidden gem 🤩
Stopped by for donuts one morning and happened to be there on the first day of their new lunch menu roll out. Not only does Sambath have great donuts, the lunch is delicious!

The owner is always very nice when we come in and the food is delicious. All I can say is; give it a shot.
Excellent lunch spot with authentic food
The service is great and the people are so nice! The food was even better!
This.food.is.amazing!!!
This restaurant does not disappoint!!
The owner takes pride in her dishes with authenticity!!
Donuts and Thai food? Yes please!!
This is the best place I’ve been to Thai or otherwise I will frequent this establishment for years to come
This is the best thai food available in Baton Rouge. Homemade with love and you can taste it! I've only had the chicken curry so far, but that was all I needed to know this place is the real deal.
Very good. Everything is freshly made and delicious.
Friendly owners, Great Kolaches!
Stopped by for a meeting with a friend for coffee and donuts. Had other lunch plans but after a friendly conversation with employees we decided to stay for lunch. Great decision!! I had Pad Thai for the first time. The food was great and the conversation and the staffs willingness to ensure our lunch was perfect was simply priceless. I love supporting local businesses and eating great food with superior service.
Doughnuts are amazing !!!
Wonderful customer service! They accommodated my unusual request of bavarian filled croissant and it was delicious! Their thai food was also fantastic! Highly recommend!
I walked in wanting doughnuts, and I left with some of the best curry I’ve ever had. Really friendly owners. Highly recommend.
Perfect
Sambath Kolaches are the best in Baton Rouge! Ya'll stop giving your money to Mary Lee for hot dogs wrapped in biscuit dough! Sambath's has the absolute best kolaches in Baton Rouge!! They make their kolache dough fresh from scratch on-site every day and the boudin is also made in-house! The cinnamon rolls and donuts are also delicious! I'm sure the lunch items are just as delicious. Definitely a culinary adventure!
Great service and awesome kolaches. If you're in the area, come on through
WAY BETTER THAN SHIPLEY!!
I just got the cinnamon roll and it melts in mouth. The boudain kolache are completely made from scratch (everything, even the boudain).
Awesome place! Love the people
Our favorite donuts shop!!!!
Sambath is probably one of the best donut shops in BR. The owner is very sweet and accommodating. The food is made fresh to order and always tasty. Definitely recommend trying if you’re in the area!

It was our first time here and we loved it. My daughter and I tried the donuts and we give them an A+. We will deff be back. Thank you
The service was fast and good. The donuts taste great.
I wanted to show my employees appreciation with donuts. I place a big order at the last minute and Sambath came through!! Phenomenal customer services!
Also, their food is really good! I’ll be sure to visit them again. Thank you Sambath for the awesome experience.
Very good shop for breakfast and lunch.

Great selection of delicious food and treats!
Food and experience is always amazing
Super nice and fast service/ owner! Great homemade kolaches!!
Great food and great service
Very friendly. Always fresh. Tastes great!
Great Local restaurant and service was great. Hidden gem when it comes to Thai food in Baton Rouge. Some the best I've had and the doughnut are great.
Sambath's Donuts are the best. I usually arrive between 5 and 6 in the morning and my cinnamon buns and kolaches are fresh of the grease and ovens. My first choice in places to buy doughnuts.
Very authentic Thai food. Can’t wait to try their new menu.
such sweet people and a cozy environment! delicious donuts too💗
Everything is soooo good! I’m never disappointed!
I absolutely love coming here, rain or shine. The best egg, cheese, and bacon croissant. You’re always greeted with a smile and everyone is treated like a friend.
Great tasting donuts & friendly service.
The glazed croissants are amazing and the boudin kolaches are the best in the city!!!
