Thai'd Up NOLA - Serving modern Thai street food!
Had a lunch meeting here. It was my 1st time visiting. They are right next to Toast, which I frequent and they are always busy. While inside, there were a lot of to go orders. Inside was nice but the AC must have not been working because it was hot. Our server was great. I got the fried rice and it was the best fried rice I’ve ever had. I can eat this every day. I added shrimp as my protein. I will definitely make this a normal to go place for my family.
We were in New Orleans for vacation, and just stumbled upon this restaurant after having an itch for Thai food, and we were VERY pleasantly surprised. The staff and food were all amazing (the spice levels were no joke!). We got the Hawaiian fried rice, papaya salad, and pad see ew. Can't wait to recommend this spot to all of our friends who visit, and to come back next time we're in town.
This place is quickly becoming a favorite. The staff here is amazing and the food is even better! We are working our way through the menu and have not been disappointed by anything. You have to get the Thai beignets for dessert! I rarely order dessert at the end of a meal, but I am so glad I did. These were so good. Can't wait to go back soon.
Absolutely the BEST Thai restaurant in the city. Fine dining chef and restaurant general manager here, and this is our go-to spot on days off. Food here is off the charts in flavor and freshness. Fresh rolls are to die for…but there’s not a bad dish on the menu. This tiny restaurant serves up serious flavor, and you won’t be disappointed. Oh, and prices are more than reasonable.
VERY DELICIOUS. We Recently ate here again. Food was awesome...I forgot to take pictures of other dishes before we ate...but did remember to take pictures of the Pad thai and beef salad....love both. The dish of rice with combination of beef, shrimp, chicken and cashew got the taste buds going yummy. Definitely come back another day.
Thai food in mid city New Orleans is rare... GREAT Thai food in mid-city New Orleans has never happened before. Thai'd Up NOLA is amazing.
We got the Jalapeno Poppers to start. Such an amazing heat! We loved the spicy flavors mixing with the crab flavors. It helped prepare the palette for the Spicy Eggplant! This dish is so good.... AND SPICY! just the way I like it, I had a few tears coming down my face. The eggplant was prepared in such a way it looked like oysters. I felt any true vegetarian would love how it feels like you are cheating, but you are not.
This Gentilly treasure is a must do.
Excellent
Truly some of the best pad Thai I’ve ever had. Everyone was so friendly and kind. Will be back very soon!
Food was ok and the location was very chilly.

Great service . The pad Thai , on the other hand was spicy indeed level #4 but it didn’t have any flavor to it and the protein ( shrimp) was scarce.
Great, delicious, cheap. Slightly too spicy. Go with level 2 if you are not too much I to spicy food.
Everything we had was amazing. Best spot in town
Friendly staff. Yummy food. Reasonable prices. Big portions. Highly recommend.
Run don’t walk to this hidden gem! The food is phenomenal, service phenomenal, presentation of food phenomenal. Everything is fresh and delicious! ask me how I know, because I’ve tried a lot of items. Don’t forget the beignets, they’re next level. Yes they’re that good. This is definitely one of my stops when I go home. This place and the staff is Thee Best!❤️❤️❤️
Exceptional food and service!!
This spot is amazing the service is great and the food top tier thai!!! I'd eat this everyday if it were near me.
Banana Blossom and Thai'd up are the two best Thai restaurants in the city, and I'm beginning to think Thai'd Up is the best. The Roti and sauce is an absolute addictive masterpiece of flavor.
Fave Thai in the city!
Food is amazing!!! Flavors off the charts! Service is great! I will definitely be back! What a gem!
I'm literally reviewing at the table. This place is awesome. Outstanding food, service, and very reasonable prices.
I have only ever ordered takeout but let me tell you -this is the most delicious Thai food I have ever had. The desserts are fantastic - get the Thai beignets, you'll be addicted. And the spice level is very well adjusted - we have ordered from "no spice" to "Thai hot" and it is indeed accurate.
I'm so addicted to their Roti... The best service. Period
Best AllAround Town. Most pleasant staff and owner.
INCREDIBLE service and food. Thomas (I believe was his name) was conversational and friendly, and provided the best service I've ever had. Made excellent recommendations and even gave us some complimentary dessert to try. It almost made me wish I lived in the area. Best curry I've ever had too, the coconut milk was a great touch.
Nice neighborhood restaurant.
Papaya salad ... yummy
Small restaurant with huge flavors. Spice levels are no joke. #3 out of 5 spice had me sweating - but it was absolutely delicious
We’ve been coming to Thai’d Up for a while now and the food, service and staff are super great!!!! If you haven’t tried it please do so you won’t be disappointed 😍😍😍

We came here for lunch and it was spectacular. My boyfriend got the pad thai and I got the spicy fried rice! The pad thai was one of the best meals I've ever had in a really long time and you can tell each option on the menu is authentic.
Pad Thai was great and fresh, no soggy noodles. The service was very fast and my server was polite and knowledgeable about the menu
Best curry in town
Very delicious food! I ordered the Spicy Eggplant with chicken. It was one of the most delicious Thai foods I have had.
thai tea is so good !!
Always great service and they take pride in serving delicious, fresh and immaculately prepared dishes at a very reasonable price. 👍👍
Words cannot describe how wonderful this restaurant is! Came here with a family of 9 and the service and food was impeccable! This location is small so beware it gets very busy and rightfully so! Food is beyond amazing and the staff are extremely kind and hardworking. Though everything we ordered was awesome, their beignets are hands down some of the best the city has to offer. I cannot wait to visit again!
Great vibe, super friendly staff and the absolute best Thai cuisine I’ve ever had!!!
This is a cute restaurant with great food and people. It's not too pricy either.
Some of the best Thai food I've ever had! That's all I can say.
Best Thai I've had in town. Every dish we've tried has been great.
Best Thai food in town and extremely nice staff
Great food and reasonably priced. Within walking distance from the race track. Fast and friendly service.
Nice people, delicious food. I will eat there again the next time I’m in town.
The curry was too sweet. The coconut shrimp was acceptable.
Great Thai! Appreciate this place because the City has plenty creole a d not enough vegetable based options. If you eat at Thai’d up you must order the Roti = yummy 😋 I ate it so fast couldn’t grab a pic. I also enjoyed the veggie spring tolls and Thai fried rice. The Thai begnets were ok ( I will just stick with the traditional version).
Great service, a must eat spot!
Cute. Good food.
Food was bland with no flavor or spice
This place is nothing short of phenomenal. I'll explain. my 15 y.o. and I are constantly on the search for a good Pad kra pao (Holy Basil/Spicy Basil) that's actually SPICY . Don't sleep on this neighborhood spot. Even if, like me, you're from a different neighborhood (or even State/Country/Planet) this place is legit. Awesome, friendly service and atmosphere here. Can't wait to bring my son. Fair warning: Thai hot is just that... ...FINALLY! Can't go wrong with Thai'd Up!
The food was delicious. The service was amazing!! They went over and beyond to assist when my family forgot something at the restaurant. Highly recommend! The chicken fried rice is some of the best I’ve ever had.

Great food, great atmosphere, great service. My new favorite Thai place. Definitely coming back. Keep it up!
Very good overall dining experience.
I am gonna try this place again because they were so nice and the food was fresh, but it just didnt hit like i wish it would have. The pad thai was ok, not great...and the roti was the same. The grilled chicken was very very good and made me curious to see what other specialties they may offer
Food and service was great, although I do wish we would’ve been able to choose our spice level, wasn’t spicy enough to our liking
Best Thai ever!!!
1st visit, food was good. Make me want to return.
Absolutely delicious. On time service with a smile.
My daughter and I loved the food! Everything was a 10/10 and had my daughter asking to take her there soon again. We had the Fried veggie rolls, See Ew beef and shrimp noodles, Butter Thai shrimp and the Sweet Roti. Delicious experience!
Best affordable Thai restaurant !
went on a Friday night recently and it was packed. It’s a small space with limited seating. There were many pickup orders and the restaurant seemed short staffed but it took us a while to get even our waters. The food was good it a bit overpriced. My favorite item was the roti by far
Most under rated Thai place in the whole city - it hits the spot every. single. time. Everything on the menu is delicious especially the special spicy basil stir fry with chopped up chicken. The owners are super nice every time too. If you're thinking about it, just go!
Absolutely love this place, the staff is friendly with good service every time I go and everything I’ve ever ordered is stellar! So glad they’re so close to where I live so I can go often!
Fantastic food, service …excellent take on beignets
The food was excellent. I did notice though that the spice level was a little higher than what I'm used to. I ordered the "mild" level but, in my opinion, that was spicier than expected. I like it though. I'm happy I didn't order "strong" because I don't think I would have handled it. The restaurant is located next to a bar and you have to aim to be left when you get there. The restaurant is relatively small so you might have to wait for a table when you get there.
Fresh and delicious Thai food. I will always come here for Thai!!! Friendly service, too.
Great food & great service! I’ve been here multiple times and my family and I are always treated kindly and the food is always fresh! My favorite dishes are the pad thai with shrimp and pineapple fried rice. The roti appetizer is good also. Definitely one of my “go to” restaurants for good Thai food 😋
Delicious Fresh Amazing
Mild was still spicy
The Thai was delicious!! Can't wait to go back 😊😁
Best beignets
Hands down the best Thai food in New Orleans ! I have eaten at many Thai restaurants and this one is killing it! They are very consistent!!! Don’t go anywhere else!!!
Thai food in mid city New Orleans is rare... GREAT Thai food in mid-city New Orleans has never happened before. Thai'd Up NOLA is amazing.

This Gentilly treasure is a must do.
This place is amazing... best Thai food ever!!!!!and what's even better is the price... The prices are super reasonable... If u like it hot, try the jalapeño poppers they are amazing with a crab Rangoon filling... a must try!!! Paid Thai, drunken noodles, jerkey,and fried rice... this place will not disappoint 👌
Amazing Thai food, with decent sized portions and a cute little presentation with the plating. The location is a bit small though so definitely not the place to go with groups!
From service to appetizer to desert…everything was amazing! The crab ragoons, drunken noodles and THE THAI BEIGNETS omg best ever!!
VERY DELICIOUS. We Recently ate here again. Food was awesome...I forgot to take pictures of other dishes before we ate...but did remember to take pictures of the Pad thai and beef salad....love both.

Amazing AMAZING Thai food, seriously the best in the city. Can’t recommend enough, nowhere else is really even close.
I must stop for sure! Food is great! I highly recommend the papaya salad. The staff are also very knowledgeable and friendly. Very cute place to pop in for a quick bite.
They put fish sauce in the vegetarian food
I love Thai’d Up! I’ve had Thai food from different places in this city and others, but nothing compares to the flavor and service offered here. Seating is limited inside, but take out is always on time and the portions are great for the price.
There are 5 levels of spicy ,I had level 2 it was too spicy for me , food was excellent ,just the portions was on the small side
I ordered takeout for dinner and everything was fresh and delicious! The wings were made to order and crispy. Veggie egg rolls were so good… crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Thai basil with chicken was amazing! And the fried rice with shrimp was sooo good! I live about 30 mins away and the food was still hot when I finally ate!! Can’t say enough about the quality! I’ll definitely be back!
O.M.G
I don’t know where to start. My meal was AMAZING. Clean layered savory flavors. The roti…The drunken noodles… the Thai tea smh. I live three blocks down and had no idea this hidden gem even existed. THE BEST ! Don’t let anybody tell you that you have to travel to Cali or NYC for awesome Thai food. Believe me, you need to come check them out. Awesome Customer Service as well.
I love this place..small and intimate. Full of smiles and flavor. Great service and prices.
Been there multiple times and the food is consistent and very affordable.
Come here now! Finally New Orleans has two delicious authentic Thai restaurants. The roti w curry sauce was absolutely delicious. The beef jerky was terrific. Excited to try other dishes, thankful this spot is close to home.
This place was very good! My only complaint is that they have very little A/C. Food was fresh off the pans! Nice and pipping hot. Very pleased! Definitely coming back.
Excellent food in a great little up and coming area. Did I mention that the food is fantastic?
The owners are super nice and the service is fast
Very good Thai! They were killing it during jazz fest. About 30mins to an hour to food but took call ins and served up some seriously good Thai! Great drunk food! Super flavorful!
The food was absolutely awesome! We dined on various fried rice dishes, noodle dishes, fried Rangoon, egg rolls and mango with sticky rice for dessert. We are all stuffed, and feeling really good with what we ate.
My new Thai spot for sure
A nice and cozy restaurant ran by super nice people. The owner was super nice and the food was good. Try the tea.
Best Thai food in New Orleans! These guys and gals put this amazing version of street food out with the perfect renditions of Pad Thai, fresh rolls, and those Thai hot wings!! Visit after visit, it’s consistently delicious and accessible. Go for the desserts too. Surprises all over the menu.
Phenomenal food, people, and service
The meal was delicious. We enjoyed the drunken noodles (medium) with chicken, Thai wings, and side of roti. The flavors were on point and everything was hot and fresh. Also, the service was great and the owners were so friendly. I would definitely recommend coming here.
The food was delicious and fresh! My new favorite lunch spot. Grilled shrimp is beyond amazing.
Everything was amazing. Will definitely come back again 😁
SO GOOD. I'm very picky with my Thai food but this actually measures up to the West Coast. Its a small room, doesnt look likr much, but the food is fabulous. Perfectly balanced flavours. As soon as I tasted the dipping sauce for the roti, I was like "OH!! I'm about to eat some goooood Thai food!"
Awesome. Great place. Great service. Food was perfect. Huge portions. Zero complaints
Very good food and very good customer service
Excellent Tom Yum soup with veggies and Tofu and Hawaii Fried rice with veggies and shrimp !! best thai food
Small Thai place in Gentilly. We ordered the tom yum soup, red curry and pineapple fried rice. All of the food was delicious, especially the pineapple fried rice! They give you generous portions, enough to share. And the pineapple fried rice had loads of pineapple!! We finished with the sticky mango rice and that was definitely the icing on the cake! The sticky rice was served warm and with the mango, just melted in your mouth like warm butter. Dinner was delectable, and our server was really attentive and nice. It's a small place so expect a wait during busy times and to circle the block a few times looking for street parking. Overall though, definitely worth a visit!
Good Pad See Ew with beef!😋 I ordered it Take out at Hot spicy level. It was ready 5 minutes sooner than they said.👍🏻 Hot is quite spicy, closer to Thai Hot!🥵 In my book that’s a good thing. I will be back to enjoy other menu items.
Hands down one of my favorite Thai restaurants in the city! The food is authentic and delicious and the service is excellent. Everything I’ve tried is amazing and prepared fresh to order. I can’t wait until they get a liquor license but you can order from the bar next door.
Awesome meal. Services was great. Really good food. Fresh and hot.
I am super happy to have this place in my hood! Got the pad Thai and it was great. Nice and tasty and hot at pick up. Only reason I am giving 4 star review and not 5 is the to go container is Styrofoam. Not cool in this day and age of climate change, especially in NOLA. I know everything is expensive but we all gotta respect our planet. I work in a restaurant that puts a small charge on paper to go and nobody complains.
Intimate cozy clean welcoming atmosphere! The service was professional & attentive with smiles. Great Team Everyone!!! The Food, the presentation (exhaliiiiing) mmmmmm!!! It made love to my taste buds!!! The chef's beauty & passion shows in each dish; even took a moment to greet my table & personally brought out dessert!!!! KEEP UP THE GREATNESS!!!
L❤VE L❤VE L❤VE 100 STARS 🌟
Delicious and nutritious, would come back again
If you want spicy, you gonna get spicy but soooooo tasty. The eggplant stirfry was sooo good.
The food is so great and presented so well. The owner is so sweet n open. It's a warm n healthy food spot
Very good Thai. Definitely order one below your normal spice level because it’s hot!
I order the drunken noodles and crab rangoons to-go and both were great and hot when I got home. Everything was fresh and delicious! I’ll definitely be back to try other menu items.
OMG this is the best Thai ever - go down a spice level from your normal order. The noodles and fried rice and soup and stir fry’s are AMAZING!!!!!
I love it! Showed up with like a 8 ppl during a busy evening. Everything came out delicious and the servers were great!
Is ok , not the best i got in here but is just ok.
Scrumptious quick lunch today at Thai’d Up! We ordered the Pad Thai and crab rangoon. Our meal was hot and fresh with authentic Thai flavors on point! The Thai tea was super cold and sweet, so good. We had an event to get to within the hour and our server was great: kind, attentive, friendly and fast. Definitely will return to work our way thru the menu: impressive first visit for sure.
I love Thai'd Up!! As you can see from the name the whole concept of great Thai food was well thought out the food is always AMAZING. Since I was introduced by my Nephew several wees ago, I have been back multiple times. I have introduced many friends to Thai'd and they love it enough to introduce their friends. Definitely a must try and return to kinda place.
Incredible. They had my favorite Thai dishes…green curry and Moo Yang (grilled pork!!!). Yall…the curry will heal your soul!! Warning-if you can’t handle spice go with mild. I looove the spice and got medium level and it was hot hot. Excellent service, great atmosphere. Most importantly…the perfect blend of Thai flavors.
Love the ambiance of this place! The decor was smartly decorated giving the place a bigger feel. Importantly, the food and service was very good. Ordered the Pad Thai with shrimp, medium spice. Delicious! Will indeed go back.
BEST CRAB RAGOONS EVA!!! ESPECIALLY WITH THE SWEET CHILI SAUCE! #ADDICTIVE#Thai'd Up NOLA
Amazing
The BEST Thai food in town! Gotta try!
Don't get tied up anywhere else but Thai'd Up NOLA. The excellent spot to be for Thai food. Food is flavorful and yummy. Just make sure you can take the heat because it can get smoking spicy. I highly recommend being Thai's Up here. Overall, very very Satisfied. Will be back to try other dishes.
Visiting this place I got a surprise, everything we ordered was delicious we will return soon to continue trying the food of this place and especially the service very kind all.
Went there twice in one weekend because it was really good.
We came in with a group of 8 and everything was excellent. It’s great addition to Gentilly. Check this place out!
100% my new go-to place for fantastic Thai food! In fact, it should be everyone’s go-to for Thai food! I placed a takeout order and immediately chowed down the second I got home - I wish I took a couple pictures but the stomach wants what the stomach wants!!
The yellow curry was flavorful and decadent, the drunken noodle had the perfect amount of spice (I asked for medium spice level), the buttery roti-roti flatbread paired so well with the curry dip, and my Thai tea was fresh and brewed to perfection. Not only was everything amazing, but the portions were incredibly generous as well! Even though I didn’t order any desserts, I will definitely come back to try the mango with sweet sticky rice and more!
I have no doubts that Thai’d Up will soon become NOLA’s next hidden gem, and I plan on coming back time and time again.
Thai me up, baby! Yeah! Great food!
