Taste of Thai invites you to dine at our brand-new Thai restaurant for lunch or dinner. Enjoy a fantastic array of traditional Thai cuisine prepared by our expert chef with 15 years of experience. Come visit our Thai restaurant in Charleston today.
Taste of Thai is the West Ashley staple for Thai food. It’s the most authentic tasting Thai food I’ve had in town. Granted, I haven’t eaten at too many other Thai spots (3 or 4 others) because this one scratches the itch.
Having been to Thailand three times myself, Taste of Thai reminds me of the local cuisine the most. Everything about it. The staff, the vibe, the food. The restaurant is just dolling out solid Thai food without trying too hard. I hope it never changes.
Great for a lunch date or a lazy Sunday take-out night on the couch. Either way, I know I can stop looking for Thai restaurants in town. This has been our spot for the past few years and for the foreseeable future.
Some recommendations: Pad Thai, Tom Kha Gai, Pad Se Eu, Pad Kee Mow, Thai Wings, Masaman Curry (especially in the winter), or their classic papaya salad.
Taste of Thai is fantastic! Tucked away in a small strip mall, it probably gets overlooked. Set your GPS and ready for some great Thai food. My favorite is the Green Curry with Pork. My wife's favorite is Tom Kha Gai soup. If you like Thai, you'll love Taste of Thai! Give it a try!
I had the pad Thai and the shrimp basil rolls, which were both phenomenal. The staff were friendly and attentive, and the restaurant was clean and well-kept. I will definitely return here. Enjoy!
I got this as takeout, but the decor and atmosphere were so inviting that I wished I could have stayed. The food was scrumptious, definitely top-notch Thai cuisine. I was genuinely disappointed I couldn’t stay longer to experience another meal. Next time I’m passing through and feel those Thai noodle hunger pangs, this place will definitely come to the rescue.
Taste of Thai recently added a sushi bar called Maguros. You can order Thai on the sushi side or sushi in the Thai side of the restaurant. David, the sushi chef at Maguros is amazing! Quality ingredients, great atmosphere. He has decades of experience at many sushi spots around Charleston and Myrtle Beach. You can sit at the sushi bar and chat with David, or at a table (we prefer the bar). It’s our new go-to for sushi in West Ashley. Really is exceptional.
I have been present several times, and this will be my final visit to this establishment. First, the wait was exceptionally long. Second, the food was not worth the menu prices. (Undercooked). Thirdly, the manager exhibited the worst demeanor towards her staff and customers. When we asked for help she did not care at all Please exercise your own discretion while giving your hard earned money to this establishment.

Great food and service.
By far hands down the best sushi! Great service, fresh ingredients, clean facility, cozy ambiance. Spicy crunchy tuna roll. Curry noodle soup with chicken, sashimi salad
We were only table in the place and service was non existent. Seemed like they were bothered that we came in. Won’t be back.

Honestly fresh fresh fresh! The Sushi and Tuna Tartar are wow! Not many places compare to this in Charleston!

The best sushi!...absolutely delicious!
I couldn't stop raving about how delicious it was during dinner.😋🤌
Best Thai in town at reasonable prices.

A very clean place to be and good vibes. Great customer service. And food is on the one!! Love this place !
Very good food. Warm and cozy atmosphere. The bathrooms could be upgraded. Staff was professional but not personable. It could just be a culture thing.
Tom Kha Soup is delicious! The Basil Rolls are fresh and the jasmine rice is cooked perfectly! Thank you! Fast delivery!
Outstanding food and service.
Want to go back.
Always the freshest ingredients prepared while you wait. Delicious
One Word! Delicious!!
This place never misses! Favorite Thai spot as a local. And the inside and super cute for a tiny place
The food was amazing and came out extremely quick. If you want a delicious hot, fresh meal quick, this is the place to go.

Food and service are always great. Just wish I had one of these closer to my home.
Taste of Thai is a don’t judge a book by its cover. Tucked away, but delivers on amazing food.
I eat at this place somewhat often. One day the power went out a few minutes into my meal and they immediately started telling people they are now closed. Trying to write down my card info bc the machines were down. To have visited there alot, they were not helpful when it happened. Not offering Togo containers and really just focused on getting my money. The power came back on once they cleared out the customers, not even 10 minutes later. They still continued to close the place down and kept trying to run my card while the machines struggled to reboot.
Closed between 3-4 I thought people should know. Since I drove out of my way and got there and it was closed. I hope to come back and eat.
Great 😃👍🏾 Atmosphere, Friendly staff, and outstanding Noodle 🍜 Soups
Thanks Taste of Thai sawatdi ka
The tomkahkgai soup is so good it is my favorite and very good the people here are so sweet the old lady is very kind as well as the server.
A place that was good, now crummy, bland, thin and absent of flavor. Chicken satay tasted very sour, in a bad way. Pad Prik had both over & under cooked elements with almost no flavor. The rice had burnt parts to it. Pad Ki Mao had overcooked mushy noodles, some undercooked onions, 3 pieces of basil & a hint of flavor (ketchup maybe). It has been declining in quality for a little while now. This was our final visit. Hopefully we can find a new place that serves THAI food
The pad thai was AMAZING!
My favorite food is Thai and Taste of Thai is authentic, delicious, and have amazing employees! I finally found my favorite restaurant! Tom Kha Gai and Panang curry chicken was exquisite!
Nice food staff are friendly and good service
Very good customer service 😇
We have never had a bad meal here! Always delicious! Our favorite Thai! However, husband ordered through Beyond??? Two watery dishes? No flavor whatsoever. Not what we were looking forward to. Confused about why mistakenly ordering via Beyond resulted in bad meal.
I LOVE this place. I brought my sister here when she visited me and she also loved the food!!
Took the family for lunch. The service was a little slow, and they never checked up on us. No refills or anything, but then they added an 18% gratuity to our bill.
I haven't found better thai food anywhere 🥹
Food was good!
I love the food and staff are very polite.
Good service.
Good food
Very good but smaller portions which was good. Pricier than others. Got to choose spice level. We chose Med and got an after bite hot.
It was great food and not very expensive for lunch.
This place rocks. Love it
I’ve been to Thailand a dozen times and developed a “food snob” taste for authentic Thai cooking and was continually disappointed until eating at Taste of Thai! Great food!
Food was not worthy of the price. Could have been an off day.
Service was great, very nice people! Curry was very good. Noodle dishes were too heavy on corn starch, wouldn’t get again. Trouble keeping tables bussed during peak dining times.
Really good service as well as dishes the yellow curry with shrimp jasmine rice and beef was really tasty i recommend this place to anyone this place gets a 9/10 for me !!!
Relaxed location, got the basil chicken and the spice was on point. Looking forward to coming back down. They do charge per drink though.
Service was fast, most of the tables had people eating. I ordered the pad see ew (I am pretty sure I spelled something wrong) level 4 spice
Pretty spicy 🥵 delish and I also ordered crab rangoons crunchy on the outside and delightful on the inside
Still a favorite spot
Awesome Green Curry.
Based on ratings we decided to give this place a shot. We got takeout on our way into charleston. The dumplings were tiny, bland and soggy. The American fried rice was also bland and the food was very low quality. We had two entrées and one appetizer and paid over 50 bucks. I had to force half of it down and threw away the rest. This place is a hard pass!
Always a good and pleasant atmosphere here and the food is excellent tasting and a very good value. The staff is very accommodating and nice people.
Food poisoning all night after eating at 5pm and around 10pm i had to leave work to go through it the res of the night...
Came in while running errands in Charleston
My husband is Thai so he's picky on his Thai food. Food was great, the staff was very nice and helpful. It wasn't busy when we came in but was filling up when we were leaving. I got pad Thai because my stomach was a little upset and didn't want to go too spicy. The sauce was some of the best I've had in a long time. Will definitely come back.
Best Thai food in Charleston.
Everything was very good and it seems to be pretty authentic. The employees were really nice and helpful and service was fairly fast.
I had Thai tea, crab wontons, and seafood soup. The seafood soup came with a good amount of seafood and lots of noodles. The shrimp, scallops, and mussels also tasted fresh, not rubbery at all. I especially liked the scallops.
The Thai tea was probably my favorite part, it was the best Thai tea I've had. I will definitely be back!
Everything is delicious. I’ve never had a bad meal. The Pad Thai and Masaman Curry (spicy) is delicious. They’ve been around a long time and are dependable.
Delicious food. Prices are a little steep but the portion sizes are large so it isn't a bad deal.
Best Thai in Charleston! (And the only yellow curry in town somehow!?)
Great service and great food! We dine in and get pickup all the time and both are always super quick.
Got the chicken noodle soup. Absolutely bland and flavorless. The “broth” just tasted like water that chicken touched one time
The yellow curry was very good.
Absolutely delicious, freshly prepared, generous portions all delivered in a timely manner
Over 10 years that I've been eating here, the Service and Quality have been consistently excellent.
Everything was very good. I would recommend it.
Amazing food quality, very tasty and thoughtfully seasoned. Can't wait to return!
Best Thai food in Charleston!
La comida es muy buena
Chicken phai tai was really good.
Not a fancy restaurant, but the service and food were great.
Pork lard and chicken Tom kha gai every time. Curry is great too
All good here. 1 st time.
Very impressive
Great food! Really outstanding. Very good service.
Good food. Reasonable price. Great service.
Theu had an issue with their card machine and it took a long time to check out, but the food was great!
Perfect service ✔️ Amazing food ✔️
Great food and service!
Our favorite Thai restaurant in Charleston. They have the best red curry with chicken.
Very empty looking shopping center so good parking and the restaurant itself was awesome. Great atmosphere and service. The panang curry had a bit of a kick with the 4 spiciness but I wish I would have gotten 5 (Thai hot). Steamed veggies were a really good amount and the rice was cooked perfectly. This beats my normal place and I’d like to come back to try something else.
Love this place always so good!
The food was up to the expectation or beyond. Gave one star for service because they charge 18% graduity for 5people. I have been to sooooo many restaurants throughout the states haven't been charged graduity for 5 people it's always 6or more.
Four of us visited during lunch and we had good food but little explanation - ordered vegetarian red curry , Tom yum soup , basil fried rice.
Ambiance is great and service is okay .
I just received PadiThi. It was hot. That is the best thing I can say about the bland mess of noodles. No spice. It was so bland I could allow my dog to eat the rubbery chicken I will not order from them again
Great Thai food! Will return!
Don’t be afraid by the outside. It looks plain, but the inside is warm and inviting and the food is delicious.
I have passed this place a million times, and I'm sorry I did. The food was absolutely delicious & served in generous portions. The server was very friendly and knowledgeable. Also, parking was easy, which is a big plus in Charleston.
Decent Thai, can be a little dry but still works in a pinch.
Love this place but their delivery options are bizarrely limited. They only offer thru Uber Eats and Door Dash and both services offer different items from the menu. For example, you can get crab ragoon off Uber Eats, but not Udon noodles. You can get Udon noodles off Door Dash, but not crab ragoon or edamame, or several other items that we enjoy. Not sure why there is an inconsistency? We would order more often if the full options were available…
Omg this place went above and beyond to make sure that I got my rice to go with my delicious curry chicken. I got home with a container full of bean sprouts instead of rice. The lady from Texas brought my missing rice to me without even being asked. Thank you so much Taste of Thai.
Great authentic tasting food. You will not be disappointed.
Excellent food...not as spicy as last time, but still good (ordered 4/5 spiciness).
The best that food I have had in the area! Very authentic!
4/12/23
Took my daughter to dinner. She like my yellow curry better than her green. She hates green beans and it was loaded with them. She got all the green beans out and got some yellow curry to pour over the green. She ate every drop. I love the food here. I always get the same thing.
We decided to stop in for some dinner and were blown away at how good the food is. I seldom give 5 stars, but our meals were outstanding! Portion sizes were perfect. Don’t let the location and exterior stop you from going in. As the old saying goes, don’t judge a book by its cover.
Curry noodles were great!
We have been coming here for over a decade and every leal has been perfect. As an adventurer who travels everywhere I can truly say that this is one of the finest Thai restaurants on the planet.
Everyone in the party enjoyed their meals.
The service and atmosphere were great, but the food could use a little attention
Nest Thai around hands down. Eat the crab wonton. Chefs kiss.
Do Not Recommend! I ordered takeout tonight and it was terrible! pad Thai had no sauce on it, noodles all stuck together, rubbery shrimp, no flavor ugh, tempura shrimp was super heavily breaded and again no seasoning at all. Barely ate any of it, waste of money
Delicious! Well portioned dishes and cooked perfectly. Can’t wait to go back. This is my new Thai Food spot.
The food is horrible. Everything are very salty and tasteless. Will not come back
It’s a good place to know authentic Thai food.
Was really looking forward to sticky rice , it's been a favorite of mine at Taste of Thai.
Picked up order, back at the hotel after eating spicy pad thai sticky rice covered in thick creamy coconut milk served with sliced mango.
Oh wait in the take out container was a lump of white rice wrapped in plastic wrap. No sauce , no mango.
Very disappointed 😞
Excellent service and food
Pad see-eu noodles and steamed dumplings were tasty, hot, with generous portions with a lot of meat.
The portions are enough to split with another person. Great service, clean restaurant. Never had a bad meal there in over 10 yrs.
Great food. My first experience here was/is great! Thank you. 🇹🇭 👍🏿
Food always good and in nice portions! Relaxed casual place to get good Thai food for reasonable prices. Highly recommend!
I stopped by and get a to-go order on a regular cycle. My food is always delicious, fresh, and spiced up to my preference.
Am I reading this correctly? You took away some of your delicious house specialty items and replaced them with Italian food? Italian food at an authentic Thai restaurant. What is happening. I don’t want to order shrimp scampi or fettuccine Alfredo from a Thai restaurant.
Food are very delicious, great service.
It is very disappointing that they got rid of the lunch menu for an all day dinner menu. $17 is too much to pay for a lunch. I want a smaller portion for less of a price. (Although I have no idea about portion sizes. the lunch one used to be smaller.) I supported the restaurant all during the pandemic, getting lunch or dinner once a week at least. I can understand raising prices to compensate for inflation but doubling the price for lunch seems a bit ridiculous. The food is great, but unfortunately my eating there will be curtailed due to cost. It is too bad. Their food is definitely the better of the options, but can not seeing paying $17 for lunch when I am working and not having a special occasion.
I love this place but I’m so sad they took my two favorite items on the menu off their new menu. Please bring back the lemon sea bass. That’s one of the best dishes in town.
love this place, a gem 💎
Haven't tried anything that i don't absolutely love when I eat here
Being indian very picky on food. Really enjoyed vegetarian dishes to the fullest.
I highly recommend to all my fellow Indians
Always amazing food! Definitely shareable portions, and not skimpy on the meat or veggies!
Very good 👍
Great food as always. Nice people working there. Fast and tasty!
Great place ...
Great food at reasonable prices would recommend.
1st time being at this place this location, she recommended, well shoot I won't get it right but had the word spaghetti in it, best I have ever had. It's not Italian but that's the word
Pad Thai was ok, everything else was not good. Chicken Satay was undercooked, so we didn’t finish it. Waiting times were pretty long considering we didn’t order that much.
New in Charleston & lover of Thai food! I’m always looking for a Thai restaurant that accommodates Vegan Vegetarians. Would highly recommend this place. Loved their vegetable with basil sauce and pad thai. They also made the papaya salad without fish sauce! Will definitely be back.
Eat here as often as possible. Have lunch with a friend who told me about this restaurant. We love the food!
Every time I've ordered here it's soooo good! I love the tofu pad thai😃
The food here is really great, but unfortunately the time it takes to get your take out order has increased substantially over the past few months. Just a heads up that if you order online, add at least 15 extra minutes onto the time it says your order will be ready. That’s pretty much my only complaint. Other than that, the quality of the food is great
