Authentic Thai Cuisine. We use only fresh ingredients and cut all meats daily in house.
Do not believe the positive reviews! We were fooled! This was the worst “Thai” food I’ve ever had. I can’t even insult Thailand by calling that Thai food. It was saturated in sauce, no vegetables at all in the pad Thai, no flavor, garlic chicken was floating in sauce and looked like nothing I would even feed my dogs. Spring roll tasteless and foul. The salad dressing smelled horrible I should have known from that moment to leave and not eat anything from there. Wonton soup was sour and the meat did not look cooked. The rice was not fried let alone done cooked it was wet and soggy and the pineapples were not fresh it was definitely from a can and sour. Please do not eat here and waste your money until they get a suitable chef that can actually prepare Thai food. We have never left so much food on a table untouched. I’ve never been so sad and disappointed after eating Thai food. Please get a new chef they do not value what they present to their patrons. Only positive is the cleanliness.
In response to the owners reply:
I did bring it to the waitress’ attention that the food was not good and I did not want a to go box for any of the food and she said nothing in response. She did not ask what was wrong ever during the duration of the meal or after the meal. And note the sign on the wall that I took a pic of regarding the refund/complaint policy so I already knew you would not address my issues and it was clearly seen that they were not taken seriously. Thanks
My husband and I absolutely love this place, we order atleast once a month (sometimes more 😅). We’ve tried many other Thai places and nothing ever compares. The cashew chicken and red curry are out favorites! They’re always super fast and the food is always very fresh and hot. We never have had an issue or complaint with our food. We always recommend it!
Family owned/operated. Very clean & inviting. Staff is kind & professional. Kid friendly & Casual dress. Highly recommend & I eat here often both dine-in and also take out. The spring rolls, fried wings, fried rice, curry soups & lunch options (brocolli beef, mogolian beef, chicken w/vegetables) & wontons are absolutely amazing. Prices, food choices & portion sizes are very good. Will return soon.
First visit here. Small menu. Don't know if my waitress got off work but checked on me once then never saw her again. Great food. Thai food is one of my favorites. Only Thai place in area so I'll be back
The pad thai was absolutely nasty, it was squishy and soaked in liquid. I cant believe i didnt take a picture it was absolutely awful. They were kind so i felt bad and didnt send it back. But never again would order that there, seriously. The beef soup looked good. And the wings were good.
I was exploring the area and wanted a vegan option for dinner. I came across Thai Chili through Yelp, and decided to check it out. They have a great selection for vegetarians and vegans. I got Vegetarian Pad See Ew with tofu, which did not disappoint. It was hearty and delicious. I got the Yellow Curry with tofu to-go which was absolutely amazing! Definitely authentic.
Awesome food at a great price. The entrees were top of the line, but the appetizers need a little work.
Delicious food!
Absolutely outstanding. Can make many of the dishes vegan. The pineapple fried rice, and yellow curry are great.
Food and place is good
AWESOME...

Great food
I got the pecan chicken and I CLEANED the plate. AMAZING food for this small town small restaurant
The flavor was decent, but I was surprised that there was an upcharge of $1 for Thai hot and 50¢ for ¼ tsp pepper oil.

Delicious food atmosphere pleasant service outstanding
Thai chili is a phenomenal option for lunch. Its a restaurant with good sanitization and excellent service delivering amazing meals and is totally worth trying out new dishes from different cultures that i greatly appreciate is nearby.
If you think you're getting authentic Thai food, you are in for a big surprise...not in a good way. Their food is American Chinese pretending to be Thai. Everything is sweet. Oh, don't even bother saying or asking for any items that an authentic Thai restaurant would have like "prik nam pla" because they do not know what it is. Their pad kapraow is just bland ground meat stir fry with strips of bamboo shoots (none of the garlicky sauce) that pad kapraow are known for. It's a shame and a waste of money. If I wanted Chinese food I would have gone to a Chinese restaurant. Please do everyone a favor and do not label yourself as authentic Thai, when you're clearly not.
Thai food that are cooked by authentic Thai chefs are well balanced between sweet, savory and sour. Every single dish my family and I got from your kitchen tonight were no other flavors aside from sweet. I had asked to speak to the chefs, and what a let down that was, no one came out to speak to me, instead the waitress just told me that is how the "pad kapraow" are made and it's not a mistake. This is a total insult to one of the most popular dish known in Thailand. Even my 13 year old son knows this is not Thai food.
Another reviewer had taken a picture of your exchange/refund policies. What a scam, if I had saw this piece of paper, I would have never step foot and wasted $66 at your establishment. Irresponsible. How dare you expect everyone to love your food, and if customers are not satisfied (unless we cook the food ourselves) we are not allowed a refund of any sorts. Oh, and I forgot to mention that not once did anyone asked us if everything was alright during our dine in. I'm sure they can clearly see it in my face that I am at the very least unsatisfied borderline upset. I should not even given them any tips.
Food is always deliciously good fresh every time
We make it a point to stop in whenever we're in town! Absolutely delicious!!
Amazing find here in Lumberton!
The food is amazing!!! Service is fantastic. I'm extremely picky with Thai food, I have gone to a lot of Thai restaurants and no one can make Thai taste like I had from Thailand. However, this place WOW ... knocked it out of the park. Have ordered multiple times here and always very satisfied. Thank you for the amazing food and service.
Food quality was excellent. Very flavorful. Lunch specials are an excellent value. Recommended.
They were so courteous but also helpful with our selections. The food was delicious; I plan to return soon😊
Wonderful food and staff!!!
I love this place. Best food in robco.
The food is Amazing !
Leaving the beach and coming into NC we must now make a stop .A great little find!
Good vegan options.
Un buen lugar para comer algo diferente
We enjoyed the red curry, massaman curry, and the fried spring rolls. Everything was fresh, hot, and tasty, with well-balanced Thai flavors. Portions were generous.

We love coming to this restaurant in Lumberton! The bathrooms are always clean, and the sitting tables and dining room is as well.
Try the Thai tea if you've never had it. And the sticky rice dessert is a fantastic treat.
Excellent service, top quality ingredients and friendly staff. Always delicious!
The food was really good BUT the service was the absolute worst service I have ever had and I travel for work all over the US. We asked for unsweet tea....waitress brought sweet tea...when she changed it to unsweet....she literally threw the cup in the dirty dish container. She dropped our food off and we werent sure whos food was whos and I asked her about my dish and she walked across the restaurant to another customers table while she was saying some rude comments. Her tip from all 3 of us....dont be rude to customers....all 3 of us tip really well when treated descent.
Haven’t been able to find a nice Thai restaurant since I’ve moved but this place and the quality of food they serve is pretty good and seems to always be fresh :)
The Thai tea is my favorite .
Dining at a Thai restaurant while traveling can be hit or miss. This little restaurant is definitely a hit! While the interior is basic - tables and chairs, not a whole lot of decoration except for a few beautiful wall hangings - the food is as tasty as any Thai we've ever had. The owner and chief chef makes EVERYTHING by hand and you can tell it. The fried cheese wontons have the lightest, crispy shell. Very thin so you can enjoy the flavor of the filling. Chicken Satay was awesome. I had the chicken massaman, my husband had the pad Thai. We both agreed we'd order the same thing again! The husband of the owner was very kind and informative. If you find yourself going thru Lumberton you owe yourself a stop at Thai Chili. The flavors were spot on, the service quick and friendly, and the to-go orders were flying out the door. (The phone never stopped ringing) Our food came quickly and was perfect! Visit this place and you'll make any excuse to return over and over!
Food was terrible. Would not recommend this place to anyone
The food was okay. It was just very bland and not up to snuff with other Thai food I've had in the past... Honestly it was about the same quality I've gotten from frozen food at the grocery store. 🤷 But ya know I can't expect much from Thai food in Lumberton
It was awesome my 1st visit and the staff was excellent.
One of the best Thai restaurants in NC, and in my opinion the best restaurant in Lumberton of any kind. Great food, good variety, good service and reasonable prices. I have never had a bad meal there!
Great spot to stop in for a quick delicious meal. I’ll plan to stop here for lunch on a regular basis.
Update: I eat here about once a week now, and my experience has continued to be top notch. I haven’t found anywhere else that offers as authentic Thai food.
Food was excellent, I ordered take out but the customer service was amazing as well.
Today my family and I had a wonderful experience with amazing food. The chef was named August and she was very talented and kind. Please check out this restaurant! You will truly be amazed and will leave very satisfied 🌺
We love everything here!!! They are amazing in both service and food!!!
A friend and I just ate here and we had the best experience and food! This place was absolutely amazing and if we could give 10 stars we would! We will definitely be back!!
A favorite in the community, this little restaurant never disappoints on providing authentic flavor to your palette. The service is friendly and polite.
I had the Tofu Soup at medium heat and it was absolutely delightful 😊
I am a returning customer to Thai Chili, however after this experience I will not be returning. I found a maggot in my chicken & broccoli plate. The reason I am posting this review, is because when I called up there to inform them of the situation, the woman asked me was it a grayish color. Giving the impression that this is a known issue.
Took a hour for me to get my food
Omg! What a hidden jewel!
Great spot for Thai food.
Tom Kha is unbelievably flavourful, panang curry was FULL of chicken, and the Lard Na was the perfect taste.
Large Thai tea too. Give it a shot if you like flavor.
My favorite spot!! Awesome food and awesome service!!
Rude..Food was was underwhelming.

Good service and good food.
Great food ,service, and prices. I eat here as often as I can. All the dishes I have tried were very delicious.
Always delicious..
The food and service were excellent with generous portions. I recommend it!
Love It.
Absolutely love this place. The food is always hot and tastes fresh. Both fried and fresh spring rolls are delicious as well all the other items on the menu and the staff is very kind. God bless this business. ❤️
Great little Thai restaurant. Fast friendly service and authentic Thai fare.
I could literally eat here every single day. I’m trying hard not to order it today since we ate there yesterday.
Every thing on the menu is delicious and thoughtfully prepared. The owners are so welcoming and the staff are extremely friendly. The only issue I have is that this place has such delicious, fresh food that I never want to eat anywhere else... and I hate that they’re not open on the weekend. My “go-to” items to order are #46 with chicken, #43 with ground chicken, spring rolls, any of the 4 curries (green, red, yellow, or massaman), pineapple fried rice, pad thai with chicken, meatballs, sesame chicken, and house fried rice. If you’re not too keen on super spicy food, I would suggest order mild or ask for spice on the side so you can control it. But be careful, it will set your tail on fire. Lol. But I love this place and the people running it- they will always have me as a customer- usually multiple times a week. 🤪😂❤️
ไปถึงร้านผิด อดทานเลย
Good 👍
Good Thai Restaurant with excellent customer service.
Always order Thai Hot , spent over $30 and all they offered was a side of dry Thai seasonings! Didn’t offer to recooked my order or anything! So upset this is the 2nd time this has happened, the first time they redone the order which was the appropriate way
Found this gem of a Thai place on our roadtrip back home to NYC. We have had our fair share of Thai food both in NYC and in actual Thailand and this place is right on the money. We had the Pad Se Eu, Panang Curry, and Chicken Stir-fry dish with veggies and pineapples whose name escapes me at the moment. All were delicious.
Great food; very flavorful!
Great food.
Amazing Thai resturant
We ordered 4 dishes. Green curry was good, fried rice was fine but drunken noodles were not edible. It was soggy and pasty.
We returned not eaten food but they refused to replace it with other item.
Good food and service
This place is sooooo good. The food spices are just right.. served hot(not warm)
Not the best Thai food, but for the area its in, I guess standards are low
Food delicious, service great and fast. Lunch special excellent for bargain price.
Delicious, hot, fresh food. Generous portions. Nice ean atmosphere.
Alright
Food was great and always fresh. The staff is always nice and always has a smile on their faces.
New lifelong customer.
Good food. Good service...
1st time here. Pineapple fried rice with shrimp, Thai style. Delicious!! I never tried it prepared this way. So much food for the price. Will be going back for sure!!!❤
Very unique and delicious
Very very good foods better eating their
This place is the best. Super generous portions on take out. Super fast and always smiles to go around. And the owner knows you by name! Wonderful experience every time. It's extra rice house fried rice man 😉
Good authentic Thai!
Nice pretty waitresses
Great food!!
The food was delicious and the service was great
First time having the Massaman curry was delicious. Second time, it was watery. Overall, it was OK. Will try a third time and adjust this review.
VERY good food, the cheese wontons are to die for! VERY polite service as well, the waitresses are so kind. 💕
Disappointed
If you are in Lumberton and looking for some delicious, freshly prepared Thai food, do yourself a favor and stop by Thai Chili. Delicious curry and sweet and sour dishes.
Food is good. Polite servers. Shirt waiting time.
While passing though Lumberton we decided to try out Thai chili. We were both very surprised at how great the food was. The beef soup had an amazing flavor and the pud thai was really great as well. The servers were very friendly and quick to help with anything we needed.
Super clean, Friendly, Tasty
Always great food, I'm vegetarian and it's got alot of options for me. Love L5 spicy
Great food as always. Really good service and very clean. I would definitely recommend this place.
Great food and service!!!
Love the Food and the staff
Fresh food. Great service.
Great lunch and syaff
Vegan options. I was very appreciative of our waitress who could pick up on things we choose not to eat and communicated that to us every time. The food was really good. I had the Tofu Soup, and my boyfriend had the pineapple fried rice. Spring rolls and the sauce it comes with was delicious. I also appreciated how they offer dine in during the pandemic (also have an outdoor area, but it was closed due to it raining), but serve them in the to-go containers so keep things cleaner. All employees wore masks.
We absolutely love Thai Chili! The menu is overflowing with so many yummy options! The food is fantastic every single time and the staff/owners are super friendly!
The food is awesome
Yummy yummy
Came here and sat in to eat on a Tuesday with my fiance. The lunch special was very affordable. The staff was friendly, helpful, and notably hardworking. The whole area was clean. The food was also delcious and filling! Bamboo slices and beef were both great!
The best Thai food in an unassuming place. Definitely worth it!
Great Family Environment and Great Food...!!!
Local home town family owned business best people, legit thai food
Great food, comfortable and clean, and pleasant staff. This is Thai food that would hold it's own in a much larger town - in a small town like Lumberton it's a real treasure!
First time in lumberton in a long time. Great food. Loved the yellow curry.
The best food. Everyone is so friendly. Highly recommend!!
I'm half Asian so Asian food is in my blood. This place is the best restaurant in Lumberton hands down. I usually get the Tofu Pad Thai.
Awesome
Great food. One of the best drunken noodle I had for long time. Extra spicy makes the flavor more tasty. Thanks for great food
The best spot for Thai and Chinese food. Reasonable prices, friendly staff and lots of food selections. Closed on Saturday and Sunday.
Best Thai food I have ever eaten! Super friendly staff. Great service!
Great service with Authentic food. Even the Sesame chicken has a distinct Thai taste. Also, hot means "You'll need a glass of milk and a liter of aloe vera" hot. Not literally, but few items will make you rethink your definition of spice.
We all love this place!!
Food was delicious and service was great! Authentic Thai food
Great food every time
Great food!
Some of the best Thai food i've ever ate. The service is fast and all the staff is friendly. My favorite place to eat in Lumberton. I have to get my Thai Chili fix at least once a week.
The best! Comfort food at its finest.
Great
The food was wonderful and the service was perfect. August was our server and she was very sweet and just the right amount of attentive.
Very good taste... good spices, on time and right quantity!!
Delicious! This is definitely worth the short drive from I-95. The food was excellent and the service was attentive. I ordered medium spice for the heat level and it was perfect. Will definitely stop in again when driving through the area.
