First choice for dining out! Excellent food,every time! Vegetable curry with tofu is my usual favorite. The calamari appetizer with Thai chili sauce is outstanding. The steak (Fri and Sat only) is the best steak anywhere. Family owned ,hidden gem.

Diner Review β„–6

Just FANTASTIC! I was worried moving out to Albemarle would limit our food options, but this place is better than anything in Concord. The Nhia's Thai style Ribeye, good God. So good. The Zoua's chicken, Pad Thai and Pineapple Fried Rice were all delicious πŸ˜‹

Diner Review β„–7

Great people.
Very good food and service. The mom and the youngest of the family are fantastic. Very friendly. Very accommodating.
Have been twice already and will definitely be back. Want to try the steak items that are only served on Friday and Saturday nights. This a hidden gem. Not just in Albemarle but in the region.
Just beware, it is a very small place. Maybe 10 or so tables.

Quiet, unassuming little place in a quaint town. Very fresh ingredients, tasty curry, and friendly staff. Recommended.

Diner Review β„–11

A fantastic local restaurant with a 20 year reputation! Family owned and run. Tonight was our 1st visit, and we will return so we can try more menu items.

Diner Review β„–12

I had the scorpion chicken and it was delicious. It is authentic food made from fresh ingredients and tastes like such 🀀. Whenever you have food without cheese in the US and it tastes good then that's simply just a wonderful delicacy!

The spring rolls where nice too!

Thanks y'all

Ly Cuisine is the best Thai in the greater Charlotte region (including Charlotte) in my opinion. It’s top notch and the family who owns the business are very nice.

Diner Review β„–25

Only take out was available when we visited but we didn't know that ahead of time. We have heard great remarks about their service and food from friends. They had a steady run of customers that had called in orders. We didn't call in our orders so we had several minutes wait time. If you are familiar with authenic Thai food you are in luck. We have had no experience so it was quite different from what we were used to. We will try again to find our preferred dishes.

Diner Review β„–26

So glad Ly Cuisine is in town. I've eaten alot of Thia food, mostly up north. The food here is exceptional.

Diner Review β„–38

I rode by this place for years unsure if I should try. Let me say this tonight we had dinner take out from this place and it was the best food I have gotten in many years. The steak everyone was taking about..... words can’t describe it was fantastic! The other meals were great but let me say try the steak!!!!! I hope this place stays in stanly co but it doesn’t belong here! It’s amazing food!!!!!! 4 complete meals were very affordable!! And seemed very clean the staff was very accommodating to us as we had never eaten there before and had trouble pronouncing some meals names ! We will be regulars now !!! Thank you πŸ™

Diner Review β„–39

Everything from the food to the service and hospitality at this restaurant is AMAZING!! I’ve tried several things on the menu and have never been disappointed in the slightest. Even the first time I visited the restaurant, everyone made me feel special as if I was a regular. This is easily one of my favorite restaurants and THE BEST Thai food in town!!! Oh & did I mentioned it’s family-owned?! What’s not to love!

Diner Review β„–44

BEST Thai cuisine in town - it is a must go to every time in town. Wonderful family that works above and beyond to satisfy customers needs. Every dish is excellent especially the Fried Rice and Pad Thai but overall, the STEAK on Friday/Saturday is a must - grilled to perfection with exquisite flavors. Check it out!

Diner Review β„–45

my experience was not so good . seamed like defrosted veg and meat. Also, fresh veg appetizer was still frozen... hmm

Diner Review β„–46

Food is freshly prepared and delicious.

Diner Review β„–47

Diner Review β„–48

The crab cheese is more like wontons with sweet cream cheese, no crab but they are good. My personal favorite is Scardini, sesame chicken isn't the syrupy sweet version. It's really good. So much good here!

Diner Review β„–49

Diner Review β„–50

Although its take out only currently because of COVID, the restaurant is very clean, folks are super nice and the food is fantastic (the presentation of the food is also done well). They are typically busy so you may have to wait a bit but it will be worth it. ...Enjoy.

Diner Review β„–51

Flavorful, authentic Thai food and very friendly staff. My Thai restaurant of choice in Stanly Co. If you blink you'll miss the storefront but put it in your gps and stop on by. You'll be happy you did.

I have been dining with Zhoua and Nhia for over 10 years. After our first visit, Zhoua remembered our orders and our likes/dislikes for our many subsequent visits. When we call to order take out or dine in, we order by saying that we want "our usual," and we always get the right plate and the right spice level. Zhoua and Nhia have the talent of designing each plate according to your palate and often name dishes after their patrons. It is like going home, having dinner with family, and always having your favorite dishes! I love their fresh rolls and the sauce!!!!

Best foreign food I've ever had! If you've never been and plan to go, I highly recommend the Drunken Noodles or Dragon Noodles. So incredibly tatsy!

Diner Review β„–66

Food pretty good but for the price they could do alot better on the meat (seafood definitely) portion. Chicken Scorpion with added shrimp (supposedly)

The owner grows her own peppers for her food. Food is fresh and made very well! Service is small town friendly.

Diner Review β„–113

Food is great

Diner Review β„–114

This food was delicious. So originally we were looking for a different Thai place that had boba(bubble) tea. It was either closed for the night or completely closed down. Long story short, we still needed foof and this was around the corner so we decided to try it. Man it was delicious. If I am ever in the area, I will stop by for sure. Everyone that came with me loved it unfortunately we all sre from South Carolina.

The host/owner is really nice and very attentive. She likes to strike up a conversation with everyone which is something I like. Definitely recommend this place.

This is my favorite restaurant in Albemarle.

Diner Review β„–117

Great food, awesome owners and good customer service. The only negatives are the run down location, the old uncomfortable booths and the food portions are lacking compared to the prices. A relocation to one of the shutdown Chinese restaurants across town would be a huge business move that would payoff quickly.

Some of the best service and food you will find. The food is worthy of the best restaurants in the world. The chicken is so tender it melts in your mouth, the sauces don't over power your palette, but caress it. Cozy a d always friendly and family owned.

One of the best hidden gems in Albermarle. This a tiny place but the food and flavor are huge. All of the staff were amazing and have no problem explaining the entire menu if needed and making some great recommendations. This is now a must go to place anytime I am in town.

Diner Review β„–159

Albemarle really doesn't have anywhere to eat worth talking about. Grew up down there but didn't know this place even existed. It was just by chance that I looked up "Places to eat near me" and happened to see it. So I tried it for lunch and had the Scorpion Chicken. It was so good that my wife and I went there for dinner the same day and the food was just as good the second time. It is a very quaint little place, no noise, no sirens, and not a lot of traffic. We had no issues with the service and the food was awesome. The owners were very friendly and I noticed that they took time to talk to their customers. For me personally, I'm not a people person and just happy sitting quietly and enjoying my meal. The chicken was very tender and the food fresh. If you have chance, and you like Thai food, or are really not sure, just give this place a try because the food is really good.

Diner Review β„–160

Great food! Scorpion chicken was excellent. Spicy, but flavorful.

Diner Review β„–161

Best food in town. Delish sauces. Owner is the best.

Diner Review β„–162

Another wonderful dining experience. The food is perfectly prepared every visit. The atmosphere is very calming and quaint. Highly recommend Ly Cuisine to all seeking an amazing dining experience.

Diner Review β„–163

Food was good. service is very slow. We had to wait over an hour to get our food when it was just me and my husband. There were 3 other tables in the restaurant. Would probably get take out the next time.

Diner Review β„–164

This is an amazing family owned restaurant. Everything is fresh and made with love. I've been a customer for 10 years and never disappointed. Best wishes for many more years.

Diner Review β„–168

They treated me like family. The mother made me some papaya salad and sticky rice which I think is not on the menu. The whole fried fish was awesome and the chicken curry. They grow most of their own veggies and rice. Great people.
