Overall, Pomelo was excellent. I dined here with my friends, and the server was very friendly and welcoming, allowing us to move to outdoor seating. Definitely recommend getting the pok pok noodles. Seriously so much flavor, it was absolutely delicious. I would instantly come back here to try all the other dishes

Made a reservation for 2, came early, was seated and then was never served or asked what to order. A table after us came in and was served water while we waited about 15 mins. So we politely walked out.

Spicy and sour, just like it should be 🀌 definitely order zero/mild spice if you can’t take the heat.

Diner Review β„–22

Was recommended this restaurant by a friend who just visited New Orleans. Being from out of town I figured we would only be eating Cajun cuisine but at a point our group had a craving for noodles and I remembered this recommendation. Gosh am I glad I did! Every dish we had was more delicious and fresh and exciting than the last! We split between us six different dishes and appetizers and were able to get a pretty good overview of the menu in doing so. Very delicious while different noodles with exciting and refreshing sauces were everywhere! Unagi was a delight.
The only thing is that we didn’t save room for dessert! Next time we will not make that same mistake .

Diner Review β„–23

Every dish was delicious, and the atmosphere is so welcoming and friendly. Some of the most flavorful Thai food we have had in a long time.

Diner Review β„–24

Food was amazing. Chef Aom was very accommodating.

Diner Review β„–25

Chef Aom gave us wonderful suggestions from the menu. Rich flavors, perfect size portions and great presentation. Excellent value. We will be back.

Diner Review β„–26

The chicken massaman curry was amazing, and the owner was really friendly. All the food is presented beautifully. We got the family order and got to try a bit of everything. It was all so good.

Diner Review β„–27

This place is fantastic if you are looking for a vegan option in New Orleans. I usually get the veg glass noodle salad and tofu massaman curry. I’ve had massaman curry all over the country and this is by far the most delicious I’ve had. The glass noodle salad is also fantastic and both dishes had a large variety (and quantity) of veggies. I can’t recommend this place enough

Diner Review β„–28

IT IS VERY GOOD, flavorful and tasty!!! the ambience is also nice & cozy πŸ˜„ would looooove to be back someday!

Wow is all i can say. This was the most flavorful fantastic curry dish I’ve ever tried in my life. I can’t believe or begin to describe how amazing the curry dish was. It beyond exceeded my expectations. Amazing 10/10.

Diner Review β„–35

Excellent flavors and selection of fresh food. A go-to spot on Magazine.

Diner Review β„–36

So yum

Diner Review β„–37

Clean, friendly staff, delicious food! We had thr veg papaya salad And Green curry…. Would eat it everyday!!! Generous portions, and bone in chicken for the massaman (so tender and flavorful). Thank you for a phenomenal dining experience!

Diner Review β„–38

The staff was very polite and the restaurant has a good ambiance.
We ordered the drunken noodles, they served egg noodles instead of flat rice noodles, and the noodles were chewy and not spicy at all.
Tom yum soup was very sour.

Diner Review β„–39

We ordered the family meal and were delighted with every dish. Each course was unique, flavorful, and fresh.

Diner Review β„–40

Visiting from out of town (NYC) & got tired of all the fried food….this place hit the spot! Will be back to try the entire menu! This place is authentic with sauces, spice & quality!

Diner Review β„–41

My wife and I had an incredible meal at Pomelo out on their sidewalk seating tonight. The Som Tum platter was amazing, and our server Nan gave great recommendations on the Thai Curry Puffs and Green Curry with salmon! Will definitely be coming back a lot!

Diner Review β„–42

Wow wow wow, Pomelo is outstanding! We loved everything we ordered and Nan, our server was so lovely - she gave us amazing recommendations, was super attentive, and gave us some great background about authentic Thai food. All of the dishes were styled beautifully and it was clear that everything is scratch made and super fresh. Pomelo is for sure my new favorite Thai restaurant in NOLA and we will for sure be regulars from now on.

Diner Review β„–43

Diner Review β„–44

Great service and experience! Will try again soon

Diner Review β„–45

Food was good. Service was good. Place is cute.
I had the Tom YUM Pasta with Salmon. Unfortunately, the fish was overcooked. The sauce was delicious. The veg was broccoli, tomatoes, and little tiny white mushrooms. It had a bit of kick to it as expected, and that was appreciated. Two of the ladies had the daily chef special. It was something Panang. One was chicken satay, I can't remember the rest, but all plates were enjoyed.

A little salty for my taste, but all my other friends like it. The flavor is impeccable. Great for dates or group gatherings. Great service. Vegetarian and large group 5-7 available, recommend calling ahead.

Diner Review β„–49

Spectacular Thai... fresh and spicy

Diner Review β„–50

Magazine street in NOLA. Very tiny space, but lovely outdoor seating. We tried BBQ Pork mango Salad (spicy) and Pok Pok Noodles (ordered mild). Both very good.

Diner Review β„–53

The exquisite sauces and fresh food combinations will send your tastebuds to a new level of Thai food excellence. Keep this Nola treasure in mind for dine in, dash, or carry out! Reservations preferred…

Diner Review β„–54

A great find! Wonderful service, helped us dry off when we came in from the rain. Not a long wait, and great foodβ€”especially if you love spice! Highly recommend trying the Thai Arnold Palmer. Will be coming back!

Diner Review β„–55

So yummy! On the spicy side though β€” mild had us panting and some mild dishes came with a fresh Thai chili. Mii kiew was my favorite but my friend liked the tom yum platter a lot.

Diner Review β„–56

Food is delicious. The green curry is unique, the Thai puffs I get every time I go. And great coffee too

Diner Review β„–57

This is my absolutely favorite Asian restaurant in the city. While this establishment is small with only less than 8 tables inside and 2 outside, they pack so much flavor into their dishes.

Their Khao Soi is just unmatched and I have not tasted any other khao soi that’s even close to how they’ve perfected this dish.

The salmon tsuke is a great started with bold flavors that harmonize with the rice and seaweed provided.

At times service may a bit slower, but this place is an amazing spot for a relaxed lunch or dinner.

Diner Review β„–58

Went there for a friends birthday dinner and made a reservation that got confirmed a week ago. When we got there they told us they didn’t have a table for us, as the website double books and this happens all the time. We were able to sit inside at a table with a corner chair, but the fact we almost had to leave after making a reservation that had been confirmed by the restaurant is unheard of. The food comes out one by one, and the first dish had about a 15 minute gap before the birthday girl got her food. Really bad place to celebrate anything. The food was good, but it isn’t cheap and the service was upsetting. Plus, half our tables food was cold by the time we all got to eat together. Honestly I recommend anywhere else on magazine street for dining in or special occasions.

Diner Review β„–59

Great tasting food. Nice menu with some of the usual stuff but some stuff you don't usually see in America.

Diner Review β„–60

My wife and I went here for an early dinner, and we were amazed. Certainly the best Thai food in the city and def one of our new favorite places on Magazine now. The service was maybe a little too fast as we literally got our food within maybe five or ten minutes of ordering it, but it was delicious.

Diner Review β„–61

Service was very good but food was not. I got the mango BBQ pork salad and the pork was basically all very chewy fat. Fish sauce was good though. Also got the veggie green curry. The curry sauce had great flavor but the veggies were oddly roasted and overly large. Very small amount of rice too. Price was not reflective of the food I received. I am a fan of Thai food and been to many all around the US and this one sticks out as the worst and most oddly put together dishes. Not sure if they're trying something new or all the other Thai restaurants I've been to were inaccurate but I was not impressed and will not be going back or recommending.

Diner Review β„–62

If you like spicy food, I would recommend the Pok Pok Noodle. The flavorful broth permeates the noodles, shrimp, pork and bok choy really nicely. The spicy wontons, surprisingly, are not that spicy. The Som Tum platter (salmon, papaya salad, noodles, pork cracklings) has a mildly sweet profile and is for those who don’t like spicy food. This place is rather small with limited seating and service can be a bit frenzied.

Diner Review β„–63

I had the green curry with chicken. Was very flavorful and chicken was cooked perfectly. First time visit, will go back soon.

Diner Review β„–64

We had a really off-putting experience at Pomelo. Some things tasted ok (like my BBQ eel entree and our appetizers). But the issues stacked up. The pork in my partner’s dish was all gristle, and visibly so. His entree also came out without mine, with no explanation. So he sat there looking at it until mine arrived maybe 2 minutes later. There were other little things (no knives? and an air-conditioning unit that made the whole place uncomfortable, until a customer stood up and turned it off). And a big off-putting thing that I won’t describe because it will turn some people off forever. Ultimately, everything was β€œfixed.” But with so many restaurants to choose from, I don’t see myself choosing Pomelo again.

Diner Review β„–65

We ordered takeout. Our order took an additional 45min to be completed after it was meant to be ready. Pretty underwhelmed with the quality of the food we spent 60 dollars on barely enough food for 2 people. I am sure dining in would be preferred, not sure if portions are more reasonable if dining in. But definitely do not recommend this place for takeout.

Diner Review β„–66

Some of the best Thai I've had. The curry and other sauces were very tasty. We had green curry, green papaya salad, Tom yum soup, seafood glass noodle salad. If I'm in town again will definitely eat here.

Diner Review β„–67

Diner Review β„–68

Small restaurant but some of the best Thai I have had. Worth checking out.

Diner Review β„–69

Flavors are authetic, food is fresh, service is prompt, and the entire ambience just warm and cosy. Our group of 10 nothing but praises for our meal here at Pomelo. Just awesome!

Diner Review β„–70

Absolute best Thai. Taste is amazing and the staff are wonderful

Diner Review β„–71

Diner Review β„–72

YUM!

Diner Review β„–73

Best Thai in New Orleans!!!!

Diner Review β„–74

Literally smelt the curry noodles from outside and could t help but go inside and get some! I ended up getting the curry puffs too. It was delicious and our server was great too. Can’t wait to come back!

Diner Review β„–75

I was disappointed. On my recent visit both dinners were served cold, so was one of the meals at the next table. Additionally, our meals came out separately, 15 mins apart. Not what I was expecting based on the review score.

Diner Review β„–76

Hands down one of my fav places in New Orleans!

Diner Review β„–77

Diner Review β„–78

Some of the best Thai I’ve ever had. The Green Curry was perfect!

Diner Review β„–79

We visited for the first time today. The restaurant is not big, but very clean and comfortable. The QR code ordering is very convenient, and the waiter is very hospitable. The papaya salad and spicy salmon crudo in the Som Tum Platter are very delicious, and the Seafood Tom Yum Wonton Soup is also highly recommended. We also ordered Green Curry and white rice, which is a perfect match. I think it should be one of the most authentic Thai restaurants in New Orleans, which is very different from those American Thai restaurants. If you are looking for authentic Thai taste, I strongly recommend you to try it!

Diner Review β„–80

Food is very delicious πŸ˜‹
Massaman curry is the best!

Diner Review β„–81

Hands down the best papaya salad I’ve ever eaten!! All of the dishes we had were incredible - I don’t think you can go wrong at this place?

Diner Review β„–82

Spicy and delicious, just as Thai food should be.

Diner Review β„–83

Ive been searching for the best Thai in Nola and i think I’ve found it! Amazing flavors. I want to try everything on the menu so I’ll definitely be coming back often. Highly recommend.

Diner Review β„–84

Good Thai food and the best service

Diner Review β„–85

Hi,

I am African American and had a very racist experience here from the staff. I felt rushed & extremely unwelcome. If you are looking for authentic Thai food in a welcoming environment this is NOT the place. There are other really great restaurants on Magazine that are friendly to all. I recommend skipping this spot.

Flavors in vegetarian plates are off the charts. Corn and Tofu salad has made me fall in love with fresh food.

Diner Review β„–88

We had our Easter lunch here and everyone was extremely happy with their food. Great service, kind and timely, the owner came out and spoke with us and we all really enjoyed our time!

Diner Review β„–89

Diner Review β„–90

I tried their green curry salmon and I absolutely loved it! Small little restaurant that puts dishes out some amazing food.

Diner Review β„–91

Authentic, excellently prepared thai food. Highly recommend. Only knocking service because when we got there no one greeted us. We thought they were closed. I had to walk onto the kitchen and ask if they were open. Other than that everything was great.

Diner Review β„–92

Compared to how this restaurant was reviewed, I felt it was lacking in flavor and quality of the dishes. I’ve had much better thai food elsewhere

Diner Review β„–93

A large variety of choices. Fair prices for the area. Very friendly staff.

Diner Review β„–94

Love this place,authentic Thai cuisine prepared with love and attention. Miss Om is a great host. Highly recommended

Diner Review β„–95

I am a Pomelo frequent eater. Have you hired a new chef? Changed recipes? We had our usual food items tonight and they weren't up to the usual AMAZING standard. The dishes tasted great, but things were undercooked, mealy and the Chicken Massaman, instead of the usual cut up chicken pieces, had a quarter piece of bone in dark meat chicken. Sooo hard to share and eat. We LOVE your food and hope this was just a "one" off. We'll be back, but not for a while.πŸ˜ͺ

Diner Review β„–96

Diner Review β„–97

Had the Pok Pok Noodle. Fantastic!!!

Diner Review β„–98

Not worth what one pays. The salmon appetizer is extremely small to costs as much as it does. It’s absurd.

Diner Review β„–99

Delicious food and great ambiance! The owner was so personal and made sure that we liked what we ordered. Our food was flavorful and an intricate balance between spice, sweet, and savory. Loved it, will return asap!

Diner Review β„–100

While visiting New Orleans for the weekend with some friends, we stopped by Pomelo for a bite to eat. We were all equally absolutely floored by how incredibly good this food was. To add to that, the chef herself popped out to say hello to us, and even brought me a small bowl of additional curry when she noticed I had drank most of it already!

This is a must-visit if you are in town, and I will absolutely be back the next time I'm in this wonderful city. Thank you!!!

Diner Review β„–101

We tried several dishes. Each one was delicious! Very interesting flavor profiles that are different from other places in the city.

Diner Review β„–102

Absolutely delicious, incredibly fast, beautiful to boot

Diner Review β„–103

Honestly the best Thai food I’ve ever eaten. 10/10 would recommend.

Diner Review β„–104

There's better thai food options. Food was extremely bland, the restaurant is so small you're basically sitting with the table next to you, and the dishes came out one by one with odd 2-5 min gaps--this happened to everyone, not just our table.

Diner Review β„–105

Although outside the day was rainy, grey & damp, the palate party inside Pomelo's was on fire. This was my first experience of Thai cuisine and my earlier trepidation vanished --quickly. Our group regularly meets to catch-up and just bask in the glow of sisterly camaraderie. We ordered, shared and savored on Sweet Corn And Shrimp, Spicy Wontons, Chicken Satay, Chicken Massaman, Spicy Salmon Tsuke & Mango Cheesecake. EVERY dish was unique and full-flavored, with & without heat. There was nothing leftover except big smiles and full bellies. The Chef (in the photo doorway) was also our Servicer and she took exceptionalΒ  care. The women is a Rockstar!
Comfortable dining room is rather small (intimate) without feeling crowded. Outdoor seating is also available. Background music was at a perfect level where you still hear conversations as well as vibes. You got to eat here--you will not be disappointed.

Diner Review β„–106

Always a delight when I dine here. 10 out of 10.

Diner Review β„–107

Visited last week while in town for work. I depend on reviews immensely since I’m on the road often. This place and the reviews steered me wrong. I ordered their special dish, Sum Tom. It was probably the worst Thai food I’ve ever had and the most expensive. The Green papaya salad was the only thing that tasted Thai. It was also probably good because its served cold. And the pork and noodles were also cold and tasteless. Zero flavor. The Salmon did not taste of any Thai flavors. Would not recommend this place.

Diner Review β„–108

Este lugar es increΓ­ble!! Me encantΓ³. La comida es deliciosa y el servicio super amable. Pedimos el Salmon Tsuke, el Shrimp Laab y el pok pok noodle y todo excelente.

Diner Review β„–109

One of the best restaurants I have ever been to. The wontons were incredible and the corn and shrimp salad was perfect. I will think about this salad every day. The pomelo curry noodles with salmon was cooked perfectly. I also got the kei Wei with bbq pork and they had those delicious wontons in it. This is a must. The server was kind, sweet and very helpful.

Come here.

Diner Review β„–110

Really good food and service!! Clean establishment, 100% recommend!

Diner Review β„–111

Overall, it was a decent experience. Value for the money is not very good, as the portions are quite small.

Diner Review β„–112

Went for a casual double date with an old friend. He set up a reservation (though there was plenty of availability for walk-ins). The service was extremely fast and we all loved our food. Very authentic. Also loved that their menu is well divided for ease of looking for vegetarian dishes (doesn't apply to me, but I know it is hard for some to meet their dietary goals)

Diner Review β„–113

Exceeded our expectations! Can’t wait to go back! Spicy wonton app, Pok Pok noodles, Tom Yum pasta!

Diner Review β„–114

Delicious food! Every bite. I had the POK POK with wontons. So good. The staff is attentive and kind. This restaurant is one of my favorite Uptown.

Diner Review β„–115

I had a wonderful experience at Pomelo, a cozy and authentic Thai restaurant on Magazine Street. The service was friendly and attentive, and the food was delicious and flavorful.

I ordered the Tom Yum Hang Pasta, which is a fusion dish of spaghetti tossed in a sauce of blended fresh Thai herbs, chili, garlic, chili jam, and lime juice. It came with a generous amount of seafood, including shrimp, calamari, and mussels. The pasta was perfectly cooked and the sauce was spicy, sour, and sweet, just like a good tom yum soup. It was a satisfying and unique dish that I would definitely order again.

Pomelo is a great place to enjoy some Thai comfort food in a relaxed and charming atmosphere. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves Thai cuisine or wants to try something different.

Diner Review β„–116

This place was wonderful! The food was excellent and the service was great. I'm vegan with a non vegan family and we all enjoyed our meals very much. The food tasted fresh, authentic, and full of flavor. It is probably my favorite Thai food I've ever eaten. The prices were reasonable as well. This was my first restaurant I tried on my trip to New Orleans and it set my expectations very high!

Amazing Thai place on magazine. Got the green curry and was not disappointed. Will definitely come back.

Diner Review β„–120

I’ve already recommended this restaurant to my foodie-est of friends. NOLA restaurant competition is intense, so somewhere worth going back to is significant. I’ve been here twice in the past week. Every dish was spectacularly spiced, fresh, and wonderfully presented.

The server is a highlightβ€”β€”if anything, go for her.

We ordered vegetarian dishes, tofu and corn salad and khao soi and they tasted out of the world good. Our server was awesome too

Diner Review β„–125

This was the best Thai food I’ve had in a very long time. Cute place and nice people.

Diner Review β„–126

The green curry is perfect. Aligned with how they make in Thailand. We also enjoyed the β€œspicy” wonton app, they split the spicy dipping sauce with standard level of heat so that my boyfriend and I could both enjoy. He also had a noodle dish Mii Kiew that had all bits and surprises including egg noodles, meat and more wontons. Table outside was great in ideal New Orleans weather (Oct). Our hostess was so sweet. If you’re looking for quality, casual, affordable food this is it. We will be back!!

Amazing food and very friendly. You will not be disappointed!!!

Diner Review β„–132

I love this place. Authentic and elevated Thai food. Best in the city by far. Wish they had larger space fir when it gets busy at night.....may they be blessed with growth.

Diner Review β„–133

OMG... I can't say enough great things about Pomelo! I was walking on Magazine Street and saw a Thai restaurant, and I was about to go inside until I looked at the Yelp reviews. The reviews were decent, so I decided to look at all the Thai restaurants nearby and saw the great reviews for Pomelo, which was a 20-minute walk away. It was a beautiful day, so I decided to sit outside, and Judy took great care of me; she was amazing. I cannot express how fresh and delicious the food was. I had the Som Tum Platter, which is a Thai national favorite dish: papaya salad, spicy salmon crudo, BBQ pork, shrimp, and pork rinds! I will definitely be back when I visit again.

Diner Review β„–134

Everything was amazing and everyone was so nice and gave great recommendations also apparently its BYOB!! Get the salmon tsuke and the panang curry for sure!

My parents and I ordered the Thai family meal for roughly $72 without tax. I think 2 or 3 dishes weren't too bad at the same time it wasn't 100% the greatest. I can't judge it negatively cause I was there once. Idk.

First timer here in New Orleans. Have had Thai in New York & miami... but I gotta say what I experienced here was like no other. The woman who took care of us was wonderful. She was so cute & nice. Very lively. Made me feel homey! The food, wow. Best noodles I've had. I had the mii kiew with chicken... phenomenal. So much flavor. Definitely want to come back my next Nola trip. If you haven't been I suggest you go!

Such a sweet little place with really delicious authentic food. The Curry puffs were sooo good and the pok pok noodles are worth ordering twice so you have some to take home

Diner Review β„–156

Cosy restaurant, great food, super lovely and sweet staff. Red curry special was delish, papaya salad had great flavor but could have had more papaya. Worth noting NO alcohol available but you can BYOB with no charge.

Diner Review β„–168

The charming, quaint restaurant exudes a delightful ambiance. Despite its small size, it delivers an explosion of flavors in its dishes. Every plate boasts a distinct and intricate taste, ranging from spicy to creamy, sweet and spicy, and rich. The Thai iced tea served as a perfect palate cleanser between each delectable bite. Its smooth, refreshing, and delightful quality added to the experience. This restaurant is truly a hidden gem, offering exceptional food and service. I eagerly look forward to my next visit.

Small and cozy neighborhood gem! The food blows this place up! It's the best Thai food in the city and worth journeying across town for. Their focus on hospitality made us feel special! Can not wait to go back!

I tried the Mii Kiew and the Pok Pok Noodle. Both were okay, and much more fishy than I was anticipating. If I go again I would probably try a curry instead.

I’ve been all over Thailand on a total of 8 occasions. This is absolutely amazing Thai food. Made me feel like I was back in Thailand. Aroi mak!!! So good. The khao soi is perfect and better than most I had In Chiang Mai. The som tam is legit authentic. American Thai food is full of fake som tam made with cabbage. Hers is full of lovely green papaya. So delicious and perfectly spicy.

THE FOOD OMG. If I had to be nitpicky, the only complaint I had was that the water glasses were very small. But man, this food was amazing! We had the Shrimp Kapow and the Green Curry. So good!

Small, quaint, and clean restaurant with authentic Thai food that is delicious! Very nice staff from Thailand that are very personable and knowledgeable about the food. A must stop on Magazine. Fyi, no alcohol is served there; enjoy the food.

The food was amazing, the chicken massaman specifically was very flavorful (sweet and savory with a lot of spices.) The waitress was very nice and kept checking in and refilling our waters. Definitely worth the price.

My message to the chef/owner...I think says it all:

Thank you again Aom for such a great evevening yesterday! Everything -your staff, food, plating, presentation, hospitality- was wonderful!! And everyone enjoyed!

One of my friends even said she that until last night she thought she didn't like Thai food and now she knows that where she's had it before just did not do it justice.

Again thank you again for accomadating us on my birthday and like every other dish that Mango Cheesecake...so fresh, so good!!

I was so surprised about how delectable this place was!

Don't judge a book by its cover that's for sure!

This was a pick by bestie for her birthday and we did a lot of family style and ordered sooooo much food.

There was a salmon dish here that absolutely changed my life!!!! It was amazing! I wish I remembered what it was called!

They also don't serve alcohol so the bill was cheap ahahah like 40/pp with 20% gratuity.

The staff was AMAZING (WE TOOK UP BASICALLY THE WHOLE RESTAURANT ITS SO SMALL) and they handled us like champs!

The bathroom could use a lil upgrade but I mean, we didn't come for the bathroom!
