Thai Lake Charles has never failed me! I have so much love for this business. The owners are kind, and the service is always spot on.

Everything I’ve tried is always prepared with excellence, care, and seasoned beautifully. The spices they use in their food come straight from their own garden - literally doesn’t get any fresher than that!

The food was very good. Fresh ingredients and friendly staff. I ordered Pad Thai both times that we went. However, the second visit, I ordered beef and the beef was so tender and not rubbery. My husband ordered a dish with glass noodles and a curry dish and he enjoyed them both. We also had the coconut shrimp. It was perfectly crisp and not rubbery or an overwhelming coconut flavor. My husband ordered Jasmine tea and Thai tea and both were really good. The food came out so quickly and the customer service is top notch. We were in town only for the weekend and we both days. Once we come back into town, we will be back.

My wife and I came by this restaurant after looking it up online. We are from Texas, we came to Lake Charles for an event.

This customer service, the food, the cleanliness- everything is amazing. We came two days-in-a-row it was so good. I wish they could come to Arlington Texas!

Diner Review №4

Best Thai food I have had, I've been to some really nice and popular places in other cities and I have to say this is the best! The portion sizes are great, so the price is perfect. Looove this place!

Diner Review №5

ALWAYS a delicious, perfectly seasoned meal when we dine with them. The dining area stays immaculate, and the staff is absolutely wonderful. I cannot recommend them enough and am so grateful that they have come to the Lake Charles food scene. Give them a try. You'll be glad you did!

Thai Lake Charles is an unpretentious place to go for delicious Thai food. It is clean and tastefully decorated in a minimalist way, and the people are welcoming and helpful. You order at the counter & pick up your eating utensils and napkins there. They bring your food to your table (& their cooks are on top of it). We've tried the green and the yellow curry soups (medium spice) and they are SO GOOD! Like, I am craving them today even though my husband & I both had appetizer portions for the past 3 days from purchasing a single bowl of each! In our two visits, we have liked everything we've chosen. Medium spice has us a bit sniffly, but in a good way!
Oh, the first time we visited, we didn't notice, but last week my husband saw that there is a place for dishes to go (though they don't require it or even point it out). There are nice to-go containers on the counter for packing up leftovers. And the food was just as good (soups may have been better) on days 2 & 3. So happy to have discovered this place!

Diner Review №12

AMAZING food and EXCELLENT service!! Really glad we stopped in for lunch during our drive back to Houston. We ordered the pad Thai shrimp and yellow curry with chicken. Big portions and the food came out fast and hot. Shrimp was perfectly cooked and the noodles had a great bounce. The restaurant is also very clean. Lots of people coming in for takeout and dine-in. Will definitely come back the next time I’m in Lake Charles!

Diner Review №13

Best spring rolls I ever tried!!!! Tom Kha bowl size was huge for sharing and very fresh, however it was a bit too sour on our test, but sauces could fix it.

Diner Review №17

Excellent everything! The service was great and the food was great! The chicken pad Thai, excellent! The Curry #40 I think, excellent!! The Thai egg rolls were fresh and the dipping sauce was great.

Can’t wait to try more on the menu.

Thai Lake Charles is a must visit. The Prah Lad Prik, Gang Panang curry, and Thai wings were delectable, bursting with fresh flavors! The counter staff were knowledgeable and patient, enhancing our delightful dining experience. 🌟

Diner Review №31

The owners are so friendly and the service was exceptional. Pad thai was the perfect blend of savory, sweet and spicy. Thai beef salad was fresh, loaded with lime and fish sauce, and unbelievably delicious. We got the fresh spring roles and hands down the best I've ever had. We've eaten at Thai restaraunts all over the US and this one is by far one of our favorites.

Diner Review №49

This is one of the best casual Thai Places I’ve eaten and I always seek out Thai whenever I’m traveling! LC is lucky to have them. If you’re unsure of what to order, definitely get the Pad Khi Mao.

Diner Review №50

Diner Review №52

On a healthy kick so I got chicken Larb with cabbage, delicious! Spicy level medium but next time I'm going hotter. Service was fast and eating area looks very clean. Would recommend!

Diner Review №53

Everything from the fresh spring rolls and dumplings to the Pad Se Ew with chicken was delicious! We’ll be back!

Diner Review №54

I ran across this gem today. I love Thai food and I had no idea this restaurant had opened in my area (apparently last year), so I decided to give it a try today. I am amazed!! Everything I ordered: Thai egg rolls, spring rolls, massaman curry, potak soup, and pad se ew were ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!! This place is AMAZING! The staff were super nice and friendly as well. I am a forever customer and will eat here at the very least once a week. I wish I would have taken photos to post but that is how quickly it was eaten by me and my family, there is nothing left lol

Diner Review №55

Incredible food and the staff is so friendly. We got the drunken noodles, pad Thai and mango sticky rice. All of the food was amazing!

Diner Review №56

Diner Review №57

Hubby and I tried Thai LC for the first time today and will definitely be going back! I got the yellow curry w chicken, mildly spicy. This was my first time to have curry and I can honestly say I’m so glad I chose it. I’m critical about my meals and the flavors here were super. The curry had an underlying sweetness from the pineapple and coconut milk combined w a gentle kick from the crushed red peppers. The potatoes, carrots and onion were done just through. The bowl was loaded w a delicious sauce and chicken pieces as well. It came w white rice on the side. It was steaming hot off the stove.

The restaurant is neat and clean. The guy who took our order was knowledgeable about all the dishes and the lady who brought my meal helped cook it! It a family owned restaurant and I give it 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Diner Review №58

They are very sweet people and amazing cooks. I literally LOVE everything they make. I have gotten all their soups super delicious and the red curry and green and LOVED both. Their fresh spring are super delicious as well.

Diner Review №60

The food is very good! It is some of the best Thai food I have eaten. I love Thai cuisine and and so happy to have this place in our town!

Diner Review №61

(It was Doordashed) We ordered #27 Pad Se Ew and #2 Egg rolls (3 with a great er sauce)

It was all wonderful, thanku for such great food!

Diner Review №62

Did not enjoy the cafeteria plates, very uncomfortable chairs, I have the soup and curry bases at home to make the same thing for way less than the 65 bucks we spent. My tom ka was curdled. Pad Thai was decent. I expected more for the price point. All in all, meh.

Diner Review №63

平日の夜、夕食を食べるために立ち寄りました。
グリーンカレーの辛さはミドルで食べましたが、なかなか辛口で、とても美味しかったです。
店内はとても明るく、清潔な感じで居心地が良かったです。

Diner Review №64

The food was great just wasn't fresh out ...we had to wait until we made it home. We wanted to sit and eat but it was incredibly hot outside and inside. I saw the thermostat and it was set on 86. We ended up ordering to go since there was no way we could stay with the heat and breathing issues. Sad to know it won't be a regular stop while in town to have a quick meal .

Diner Review №65

Great food! Super nice staff! I have great food every time.

Diner Review №66

Ordered some Yellow Curry and Mango Sticky Rice! Both were delicious & the place was very clean! Good service, kind people, authentic food!

Diner Review №67

Don't go. $20 for 2 day old, mushy brown leftovers!

Diner Review №70

Great Thai, egg rolls are awesome thai sweet and sour stir fry excellent, and good and spicy hot

Diner Review №71

Yall!! Such great Thai food in lake Charles. We loved the chicken larb - friendly service. We definitely recommend

Diner Review №72

Good to have Thai food here in LC but pretty much just ok. Thai spring rolls were empty with little flavor. Pad Thai just noodles & light on meat & needed more green onions, basil cilantro or anything green. Stir fry serving large but again light on flavor.

Diner Review №83

Came here a few months ago when it opened and it was delicious. Very excited to have Thai food in Lake Charles. Ordered some take out today and whatever it was it wasn't thai. Flavor color and consistency off on every dish. I've had Thai food all around the world and I'm disappointed. I'm hoping this was just a fluke and I am going to try again. 2 hr drive to Houston for Thai food is too far.

Diner Review №84

Great food! Dine in-take out or drive-through express pick up for phone order. Nice clean place. Inside order at the front and pay first. They bring food to you at the table for fine in. Excellent!

Diner Review №85

Average Thai food, clean, great staff, easy parking, good prices

Diner Review №90

Great food from folks who appreciate your business. Not fancy, order at the counter. If I lived in LC, I would be a constant customer. Large servings.

Diner Review №91

Service was quick, the food was very tasty, and awesome portions. I had Pad Thai, Vegetarian Fried Rice. My wife has an appointment in February in Lake Charles and her mom is coming to eat as well.

Diner Review №92

this place was super good.. i went through the drive thru and ordered a number #28 mild, was ready in about 10 minutes. had a great rich flavor and the chicken was perfect. will probably try it spicy next time, but mild was for sure good. definitely give this place a try, from my experience i liked this way better than the place in the mall, no comparison

Diner Review №93

Full priced food, and yet you still have to wait on yourself....not a fan of this new fad of restaurants charging the same and expecting guests to do all the work. Pad Thai was amazing! Red curry was good on spice but surprisingly weak on flavor. Too much baby corn and not enough bamboo shoots for a red curry imo.

Diner Review №94

Diner Review №95

Good good and service. Wish they used LA shrimp though.

Diner Review №96

Great food.

Diner Review №97

Diner Review №98

Food was fairly good, overall room for improvement which may be due to having recently opened

Diner Review №99

Ive ordered here a few times now. The food and the service has been more than great.

I already came to leave this review and upon doing so noticed a poor review left about there being "no service and it being served in plastic" as a negative thing. This business was **abundantly clear** that at that time they were NOT doing dine in service, only to-go orders. Despite this, they'd still let you eat in there if you chose. You just wouldnt have service. These seems like a POSITIVE thing to me. Only doing to-go orders but still letting people eat on the spot if they need to? Seems kind.

Diner Review №101

Best I've had in many many years! I will be a repeat customer for a long time! The service is on point. Restaurant is very clean and the food was very fresh. We were a party of 6 and the food came out on time and together.Prices are reasonable so you can try things without killing the budget.

Best Thai food I've ever had and amazing customer service! Heavily recommended to any and all! My wife and I got the pad Thai and pho with chicken and both were excellent!

Diner Review №107

I was passing through and tried this thai restaurant. It was amazing. The food was wonderful, the plating was phenomenal, and the professionalism was awesome.
The best Thai place I've been to for the price.

Diner Review №108

I absolutely love Thai food and Thai of Lake Charkes does not disappoint. I have had several dishes and all were so tasty. I find myself going back at least once a week. I like the casualness for lunch, but wish it was a more formal sit down type of dinner with a waitress for dinner dates.

Diner Review №109

I had a wonderful experience. I ordered the red curry and the mango sticky rice. Both were very good with large portion size. Customer service was great and the place was very clean.

We love Thai Lake Charles! My family has tried a good variety and everything is absolutely delicious. Jet has great energy, we love trying his recommendations and experiencing all the flavors.

Diner Review №115

I loved the food. Everything was freshly made, and we ordered 4 different plates. The orange chicken was really good, but a little too sweet. Chicken curry was amazing.

Diner Review №116

Diner Review №117

The location is clean and friendly inside. The employee greeted us. Provided us drinks and offered us cups with ice. After ordering the service was quick. The food was presentable and delicious. I got the Pad Thai. It was missing that extra something… that makes it different. However I did order mild. So next time I’ll try medium and see if that’s it. We also ordered the number 42. It was absolutely amazing! The noddles are great. The appetizers are delicious. Definitely a must try stop.

Diner Review №118

Arrivés à 11h15 nous avons du attendre devant un employé qui ne nous a pas calculé pendant un petit moment captivé par sa caisse enregistreuse numérique. Pas très accueillant et empathique comme entrée en matière. Une fois la nourriture choisie et servi dans des couverts jettables on se cale sur une table. Pas de service à table (pas de service tout court en fait). Il manquait le riz à mon pad thai pourtant indiqué inclus sur le menu et j’ai du insisté pour l’avoir. La nourriture est pas dingue pour le prix, les nouilles étaient beaucoup trop cuites dans mon cas. La soupe de mon ami clairement trop salée et épicée. Bref cuisine originale et nouvelle sur Lake Charles car pas de véritable concurrence mais décevante à nos yeux au rapport qualité prix service mauvais. A ressayer peut être dans qq mois mais déception pour l’instant.

Diner Review №119

Absolutely delicious!!!!! From the food, to the service. I'm so impressed.! They even have a drive thru service and I will be coming back for more. Got the combination Pho, kow tom, fried calamari, Thai wings, spring rolls and #42 Tod kra thiam on the menu

Diner Review №120

So glad we finally have a decent Thai restaurant in town. I had the pleasure of trying their Pad Thai and Drunken Noodles. While both dishes were enjoyable with a good balance of flavors, they lacked the distinctive wok hei flavor the sets apart great Thai restaurants. Nevertheless, the quality of ingredients and preparation were evident, and I appreciated the freshness of the ingredients. The only other minor critique would be that the "hot" spice level I opted for was much milder than expected, so I plan to go for the "Thai hot" level next time to really kick up the heat. Overall, Thai Lake Charles is a promising addition to the local dining scene, and I look forward to exploring more of their menu in the future.

Diner Review №121

The Workers are nice and Friendly

Diner Review №122

FINALLY some SPICE!! If I sound overly excited, it's because I am. I've tried several versions of Pad Thai in the area and while most were bland others were ok, this restaurant wins BIG TIME. Spice levels come on a scale of 1-3, and they are not afraid to give you the burn if you ask for a 3. 😋 Loved it, my eyes were even watering a little towards the end, excited to try what else they have on the menu. Definitely recommend!

Diner Review №123

Delicious food!!

Diner Review №124

The food is SO wonderful & the staff is very friendly!

Diner Review №125

Food was amazing. My family and I got pad Thai, pad see ew, crab rangoon, Tom kha soup, and the Thai beef salad. All super fresh and delicious. The Thai tea was also really good. We got everything between mild and medium spice.

Diner Review №126

Diner Review №127

Came in during the "soft opening" time. Really good food, super nice and very quick service. The "hot" could've been hotter, but I'll order Thai Hot next time.

Diner Review №128

Food was amazing and staff was very nice.

Diner Review №129

Delish! Long wait but worth it 😋😋😋

Diner Review №130

Long wait but excellent dishes!!! Will eat again

Diner Review №131

So good. I am so happy we have a Thai restaurant 😍 The workers are so nice too. Please be understanding as they are still figuring things out!!!

Diner Review №132

Very unique to lake Charles! You can dine in if you want to. But their main source currently is to go. Food is very good
