Absolutely fantastic chicken pad thai!

Diner Review №2

Great curry and friendly server

Diner Review №3

We were the only diners in the restaurant. We waited for someone to come out of the back to seat us. Once we were shown to a table we waited another 10 minutes to place our order. The person in charge only took our appetizer order. Then we waited another 10 minutes to order our drinks.
I was served a beer that was expired, and I asked politely for a new one.
The appetizer sampler was okay. The crispy duck rolls were cold and not crispy.
We ordered two types of entrees and they came out at different times.
I had the Hot Beach Special and while it was hot and the seafood was crispy, the basil garnish looked to have been freeze-dried.
Their music selection is interesting- a scenic landscape montage on the TV which made all of us feel sleepy! Maybe better for a spa setting.
I have been to Thai Gourmet a few times in the past, but this time was disappointing.

Waitress saw me come in and ignored me for over 15 minutes. Put my stuff on the counter instead of giving it to me. I won't be back

Diner Review №5

Absolutely amazing!!! Highly recommend

Diner Review №6

New owner, different prepared food and.. prices. Just not as good. Won't be back.

Diner Review №7

Everything about this place is great. The food was fantastic, the atmosphere is very Cosy, and the service was exceptional. We got the pad thai, pad cashew, and red curry, all of which were full of flavor and good portion for the price. There was a little music box at our table that sung when cranked, how charming! Will be back soon!

Diner Review №13

Very busy, needed more help tonight, but they did their best.

Diner Review №14

We've been getting our pad Thai fix here for years. Run, don't walk! If you really want your mind blown, try the roast duck pad Thai! Incredible!

Diner Review №15

Great place! food prepaid to order. "weeded" busy at times, many meals purchased, nairly ever disappointed. Hot spicy as you want or not. Cafe style, excellent authentic Thai food.
*New management – almost as good, favorite dishes missing.

Diner Review №17

Delicious food, friendly staff. My parents introduced me to this place and now it's a staple whenever I'm in the area. Highly recommended.

Diner Review №18

This place is really small, but super fantastic. I took my entire family of six here.
The curry is amazing, service was super fast and friendly. My family loved it.
We were just passing through and decided to stop, it did not disappoint.

If you decide to stop and eat in the restaurant, or get to go. This place is absolutely amazing.

Diner Review №20

Reminds me of meals that I had in Thailand. Not fancy, but very good food and service. Lots of veggie options.

Diner Review №21

I thoroughly enjoyed my dining experience in a pleasant atmosphere. The food was absolutely delicious and the service was top-notch. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. I am looking forward to returning in the future.

Diner Review №22

Food was delicious!

Diner Review №23

New favorite local thai spot. Food is excellent and consistent and the owners are some of the nicest people you'll meet, happy to give them my business.

Diner Review №24

Family run and yummy food

Diner Review №25

Super friendly and helpful service. Were especially accommodating of our modifications. Big portions and GREAT food.

Diner Review №26

I used to love this place and have given it a 5-star review previously. I still think the food is good but the pricing is strange now. It doesn't match the menu when you order take-out and it's VERY expensive. He indicated that he's gone up on the prices but that's not what's reflected on the menu online. Ask the price before ordering. Also, the owner is VERY rude and aggressive with his behavior. I won't be back.

Diner Review №27

My boys said we needed to leave a review because it was so delicious 😋 The service and boba tea were also great. Highly recommend.

Diner Review №28

Diner Review №31

Fresh food. Lean chicken. Well spiced.

Diner Review №32

Perfect place for families. Friendly service & great-tasting dishes.

Diner Review №33

A gem of a restaurant! Friendly service and amazing food: flavor bombs with each bite. (Papaya salad, fried rice, eggplant tofu, & panang curry).

Diner Review №34

Diner Review №35

Absolutely love this place. As a vegetarian the options are fantastic and the food is delicious. They are fast and so incredibly friendly and even brought out a dessert for my sisters birthday.

Diner Review №36

Love this place. So friendly. Food is always good. Real family centered. Great portion sizes

Diner Review №37

Diner Review №38

Wonderful service and the food is delicious. From the curries (paanang yum) to the drunken noodles to the salmon everything is top-notch and great prices for what you get.

Diner Review №39

Food was amazing🔥! Definitely will visit again.

Diner Review №40

Diner Review №41

Fresh, Authentic, Clean. Ordered Pad see ew w/ beef, yum squid salad, spicy seafood that came on hot plate. All dishes were so yummy

Diner Review №42

Food is delicious

Diner Review №43

Update: It changed hands. The red curry used to be the best I'd ever had, and now it is quite awful and almost too salty to eat (and people say I like salt too much so coming from me that's really saying something). I also asked for it without eggplant and there was most definitely giant chunks of eggplant in it. I rarely leave bad reviews, but people need to know not to expect Khan's quality of cooking (at least with the red curry). My friend had the pad Thai which had good flavor, and texture but was also salt laden. I'm not exaggerating when I say we spent the afternoon feeling puffy and in desperate need of water. The skin on my hands and feet actually felt right from the salt consumed/water retention.
People at the other tables seemed to be enjoying what they ordered so maybe I ordered the wrong thing.

Prior review from when Khan owned it:
I practically live here. Absolutely hands down the best Thai food I've had in Virginia.
Get the red curry.

Diner Review №44

The best - great service and great red curry!!

Diner Review №45

This place has some of the richest, most flavorful Thai food I have ever tasted! I ordered a seafood with vegetable dish, every bite was enjoyed. I do not know what spices they use; regardless, with the coconut milk broth it was so flavorful and brought the whole dish together. After finishing I ordered a natural fruit smoothie which tasted great on the road. The owner/lady at the front desk, Aunty I believe, is very warm and dedicated to what she does, just a great person. Eat here!

Diner Review №46

This used to be our go to place to get Thai. Our last take out experience was a big disappointment and likely the last time we visit. The first thing we noticed was the menu had changed and some of our go to favorites were missing (red curry) so we tried some new items.

The duck curry my wife ordered contained ingredients that were not listed on the menu and was missing things that were listed. The shrip rolls were simply a single shrimp wrapped in a wonton wrapper and fried. My pineapple fried rice was lackluster containing 5 medium shrimp and an extra empty tail shell with a few small pieces of canned pineapple for almost $19. I have friends who had raved about it and I hope they had a different experience.

Diner Review №47

Diner Review №48

The sweet lady that was serving me was so helpful and was super nice. Their Tom Kha soup was the BEST i have ever had! Super fresh and so tasty! We should all be supporting local family businesses like this that provide amazing food at reasonable prices!

Diner Review №49

This is the best place! There is a new owner for the last 5 months. Every dish we got was 5star! We got Pho, Tod mun, grilled beef salad, pattaya seafood, pad won sen, pad see ew, Thai fried rice, sweet sticky rice and pumpkin custard. We were traveling back from NC and this was the best stop on our trip. We live about an hour and a half from here, but we will be making the drive back! Can’t wait to try some more things.

Diner Review №50

Very nice dishes. Good spice level and flavors. Great ownership presence. Pretty steady stream of take out orders, which was a good sign too.

Diner Review №51

Diner Review №52

Amazing! Food is perfect, excellent service, everything was great. Absolutely recommend

Diner Review №53

Diner Review №54

My wife and I love this little place. It's friendly and cozy the owner is very cool and the food is amazing all of the food is amazing .
12-26-2023 update. Sad to say but the food I feel has gone down hill since the ownership has changed. The once crispy and hot general tso is now grossly over breaded and average at best. We also had the chicken pad Thai which was also a lesser quality. Service remained close to the same . The quality of food has demished in my opinion.

Diner Review №55

Diner Review №56

Incredible! Food was so flavorful, not the bland version you get at some places. Service was great and everyone was so friendly. Can’t wait to return!

Diner Review №57

5 stars all across because the food and service are amazing! The only thing that's disappointing about this place are their weekend hours since they don't open until 2 its hard to pick this place for a weekend lunch.

Diner Review №58

This place is a hidden gem. One of the most flavorful Thai food I have ever had.
Have eaten there 3 times already, and it is a staple every time I visit the Ashland area.
Cost is reasonable, and the owners are extremely polite and attentive.

Diner Review №59

Food was mid. waitress didnt bring my friend his beer when he ordered itm she assumed he too young and didnt ask for ID. the atmosphere is peaceful. it was expensive, especially given how bland it was. i would not recommend.

Diner Review №60

Found this hidden gem while camping nearby at Amercamps. Best Thai we've had in years. Curry Puff appetizer is wonderful. Favorite dishes were Duck Curry, Red Curry as well as the best Pad Thai ever.

Diner Review №61

Returned to this restaurant after a change of ownership- so happy we did! The dishes are excellent and portions are generous. The new owner is a delight and we’re looking forward to being a ‘regular’.

Diner Review №62

Thank you for being so king and always sharing a smile topping it all off with the best food in Ashland VA. Thank you for every fresh delicious bit, it’s definitely worth my hour drive on my day off…… my daughter in now in love with this place, thank you again!

Diner Review №63

Best Pad Thai Chicken!!! We have always loved Thai Gourmet and are so thankful to have new ownership still providing delicious food and wonderful service to our community.

Diner Review №64

First time here, we did take out. The women who helped us was so helpful, patience and energetic. We tried the pad Thai and green curry fried rice. Amazing! Also would recommend the egg rolls and gyoza. Great service, I love supporting restaurants like this. You won’t be disappointed!

Diner Review №65

We had great food and service.

Diner Review №66

The owner is so sweet. She finds a way to put a smile on everyone’s face. Also the food is amazing. The mango sticky rice is always delicious!!!

Diner Review №67

Excellent food. I enjoyed the atmosphere and the great customer service.

Diner Review №68

Great pad thai

Diner Review №69

Food was fantastic and made out of love. Aunty on the front desk made sure we got everything and made sure we were good

Diner Review №70

Impeccable customer service and tasty food items. Can't wait to go back!

Diner Review №71

Diner Review №72

Always hot and the staff is welcoming

Diner Review №73

Some of the best Thai food and service I’ve ever had. I’ve traveled a lot and have Thai food everywhere I go, but this is some of the best Pad Thai I’ve ever had. Highly recommend!!!

Diner Review №74

What happened to this place? 😕 It used to have excellent food quality, has dropped off dramatically. Very disappointing.

Diner Review №75

This restaurant is under new ownership and the food is fantastic! We have enjoyed every meal so far and the staff and owners are super nice. I highly recommend this restaurant!

Diner Review №76

Diner Review №77

Very friendly service! Delicious food and boba tea drinks!

Diner Review №80

First time back since the new management took over. Lunch special was a great value. Tom Kha soup was delicious. We will be back.

Diner Review №81

Diner Review №82

Diner Review №83

We had dinner at the restaurant a couple of weeks ago. We shared three starters and had main courses and deserts afterwards. I would say it was the most delicious Thai food I have had in quite a long time. The service was fantastic and the place was very neat and beautiful with welcoming atmosphere. Food served fast and hot with large portion. The Drunken Noodle and coconut custard desert I had were amazing! Will definitely go back!

Diner Review №84

This was the third time I ordered from Gourmet Thai under the new owners. I ordered the Panang Curry with chicken and the Rama with tofu. The Panang Curry had different vegetables than what was on the menu. The Rama was inconsistent.
The peanut sauce didn't taste at all like peanut sauce the second time I ordered. There was less broccoli in the second order.
My husband ordered the Druken Noodles with pork he said that was ok.

Diner Review №85

This is definitely the best authentic thai food we have ever tasted. Food is superb. Dishes are flavorful with fresh ingrediemts. The coconut pudding was really a treat at the end of the meal. The place has a good ambience and clean. Service is very good. Staff is polite, respectful and efficient. Price is affordable. We would definitely come back here to try the different dishes.

Diner Review №86

We stopped here for dinner after a long drive, and it was *exactly* what we needed! Food was amazing, best Thai food I've had in years - we had drunken noodles, panang curry, pad thai as the mains, and the coconut dessert was soooo good, definitely worth trying! Hospitality was fantastic as well, exactly what you'd expect from a family-run location. Looking forward to our next long drive so that we can stop here again!

Diner Review №87

We stopped there for lunch on 8-20-23 for the first time and the owners were really friendly and informative. The food was really good and we definitely will stop again. Great place to eat.

Diner Review №88

Love coming here. We used to go here all the time before the prior owner retired and are so happy to see that the new owner is doing a great job! Our food was delicious and love the added boba tea.

Diner Review №89

My wife and I did a kid-less date night near the house and tried Thai Gourmet. The food was fantastic and the service and atmosphere were laid back. We will absolutely be going back!

Diner Review №90

Everything was so fresh and flavorful. I would give the service 10 stars if I could. The lady who served us was so incredibly nice. The boba was absolutely amazing. Ive been going here since they opened and the new additions are just amazing.

Diner Review №91

Peaceful atmosphere and friendly staff in a casual, well appointed dining area. We learned these are new owners and they treated us well. Enjoyed beef Masamann Curry with large pieces of tender beef, carrots, onions in a balanced sauce lightly sweetened by coconut milk and curry paste. Yummy. Also enjoyed Pad see-ew with chicken and wide noodles. Also very good. Highly recommend.

Diner Review №92

I was blown away by the quality of the food. Everything was so fresh! I had the fresh spring rolls with a very flavorful peanut sauce and the Florida Vacation smoothie made with fresh mango, pineapple, banana, and apple juice. For my entree, they were so accommodating, allowing me to have their eggplant stir fry with wide noodles instead of rice (think drunken noodles). Every vegetable in there was cooked perfectly. They all still had that crispness to it showing howl fresh everything really was. I will definitely be back!

Diner Review №93

Ordered our usual combination fried rice tonight to go. Surprised by the cost and have to say the food was nowhere near as good as it used to be. iIt cost $38.05 for 2 orders and they were about half the size of what they used to be at a lot less cost. Shrimp still had tIls on them and only 3 per order. I then found out from another review, not the same staff. Have to say we will not be returning.

Diner Review №94

Amazing, authentic Thai food. The duck curry was perfect - soft, succulent slices of duck in a steamy bowl of rich red curry. Even more remarkable was the beef massaman curry that we were lucky enough to find as a special on the menu. A delightful surprise, and definitely worth the drive from Richmond - or even Washington!

Diner Review №95

This place is under new ownership!!!

The food is very good, but it's not the same Thai Gourmet that the reviews are based on. The sauces and dishes have all changed starting July 1st 2023. Completely new staff and menu.

Diner Review №96

Diner Review №97

Best Thai food in Virginia. Been going here for over 10 years. Try the crispy rolls and the Pad Thai. Would give 10 stars of I could.

Diner Review №98

This is a great little spot to chill and enjoy some food, owners are retiring within months and I'm sad to see them go.

Diner Review №99

Diner Review №100

Very good and owners are the best

Diner Review №101

Called in a to-go pickup and a nice gentleman answered and took the order (after a brief wait, he mentioned they were short-staffed.) We then only waited about 40 min before going to get a pretty large order. The staff were very friendly, and apologetic for the wait (our order had whole fish, several appetizers, soup. drinks, desserts, etc., so I was frankly impressed at how quickly it was finished even if they hadn't been short handed.) They had it all packed up nicely for us, even threw in a couple complementary items from the fridge for us! The actual food was also great, if you like pork, crab meat, and deep-fried then get the Hoy Jaw appetizer. Naumtoc was on point too, fresh vibrant tasting beef and veggies. Overall, outstanding, we definitely plan to come back!

Diner Review №102

The attendant was very ignorant, he treated me and my wife with contempt

Diner Review №103

The gentleman up front is very nice and kind. I got a spring shrimp roll and they were very fresh an the sauce that came with it was awesome.
I got the drunken noodle with chicken an it's was alright. The chicken is very bland, but the veggies are good.

Diner Review №104

Diner Review №105

We never got served. We walked in were told they were closing in 20 minutes. This man was very rude and it had been over a year since we went there because he is so rude even though the food is great and we live a mile away. He is the rudest server/owner? I've ever encountered. Please stay away from this restaurant I know that i will drive forever to not eat there ever again. His wife does a great job cooking food and it is awesome it us a shame you have to go through him to get it. Go around the corner to tail of the whip for an excellent experience. Great seafood and awesome Thai, staff is friendly and provides awesome service.

Diner Review №106

Good food and the owner is really friendly

Diner Review №107

Tonight we ordered chicken pad thai, chicken lo mein, and crispy egg rolls- all delicious and well seasoned. The lo mein had tons of good veggies. The owner included two peanut sauces and some complimentary house made hot sauce. He also threw in a free drink! He was pleasant and friendly, the food was ready quickly and was hot/fresh. We’ll be back!

Diner Review №108

Delicious food and the service there was amazing!

Diner Review №109

Diner Review №110

Have never had a bad experience at this place. I've been going here regularly for almost ten years and to this day this place has the most consistently great Thai food in Richmond, hands-down. I drive 20 minutes across town, past several other Thai / Vietnamese places to get here and it's always worth the drive. The owner has always been welcoming, friendly, and engaging. His home made hot sauce is also incredible. Highly recommend!

Diner Review №111

Delicious!

Diner Review №112

Diner Review №113

Super watery panang curry. It was if they ran out of coconut milk and used water instead.

Diner Review №114

Food is horrible

Diner Review №115

Amazing service and wonderful food i just left with my kids and they were so sweet to them.

Diner Review №116

Diner Review №117

Thai gourmet was awesome as always. The food is plentiful and well priced, it comes out in a timely manner, and the staff is very kind. I had the Duck Pad Thai this evening and the host even catered the spice level to my liking. Highly recommend.

Diner Review №118

The proprietor was welcoming and gracious, when we stopped in for a meal during a long road trip. We could tell this is a fave local spot, judging by the heavy pick up traffic, tho we were the only ones in the dining room. The food was fresh and tasty, speedily served. We ordered crispy rolls, dumplings, a beef special & shrimp with red rice & veggies.Leftovers came home with us. Friendly host gave us coffee candies and offered water for the rest of our trip. Will be back - highly recommend!

Diner Review №119

I love this restaurant! The owner is always friendly and the food is delicious!! I usually get pad thai and crispy rolls but I have tried many dishes over the years. It is a small mom n pop restaurant, and I am sure they get slammed at certain times. A little patience and understanding can go a long way!

Diner Review №120

Wife and friends ate here for lunch. Lunch was over $16 for Pad Thai and bill did not reflect menu prices. Don’t know about the extra 20% people mention for eating in. But never go again.

Diner Review №121

The Pad Thai had very little meat, and the prices were way too high. The menu does not list the price of meals clearly, so I had no idea the price would be so high. I will not be going back.

Diner Review №122

Regrettably the worst Thai food I ever had. I have nothing good to say about the food or I'd add it to this review. Perhaps that says all you need to know.. The papaya salad was watery and bland with zero heat after requesting med-hot spice. The pad-thai was bland, overcooked and crunchy (the noodles not peanuts) in some bites and disgustingly tasted like seafood despite having chicken added to it. The massaman curry was watery, bland and the side of rice that accompanied it had a slight taste of bleach. I really wanted this to be good since it's the closest Thai food location to me but I ended up throwing away more than half of it because I just couldn't stomach eating it. Hard pass on this place if you want Thai food.

Diner Review №123

Let me start by saying I've been in the restaurant business 20+ years and because of that I tip very well but I also tip according to my service. Took my son here to enjoy a nice meal but it was horrible from the beginning. The service from this man was not only horrible but he is rude. He pushed my food on the side while he was busy ringing up to go orders and then after brought it over. The food was ok but my carrots were under cooked and now we get to the end. My bill for 2 people and 1 curry to go was 85$ all because he decided to charge me 20% service fee just to eat in his restaurant and mind you the only posting he has to advertise is posted on his back wall "come on now" who goes to the back wall. If the service was good I would have been ok except for the sneaky none advertising. The only reason I gave it 1 star is cuz of the food being decent. What he doing is not illegal but its immoral and take my word legally you also don't have to pay it. Don't eat here!!!

Diner Review №124

WORST THAI FOOD EVER !!! You will not dare to order from this place after seeing their food. I cannot believe the way they had served the mango with sticky rice, it was GROSS !!!!! Fried rice was bland and spice-less even after asking for 'VERY-HOT'. I have never seen pad Thai in this horrible state !!!! Don't be misguided by the 1 star review, Google won't let me post a review without giving a minimum of 1 star.

Diner Review №125

Diner Review №126

This is the best authentic Thai place around, period. The owners are there every day to make sure the food and service are perfect, and they do a spectacular job. The fresh rolls, curry, noodles, and everything with tempura is excellent.

Diner Review №127

My husband and I eat here every Friday. The owner and his wife are as sweet as can be. They customize our dishes due to allergies and always serve wonderful dishes with a smile. They're always busy because the food is incredible. We love the family feel.

Diner Review №128

Great food and service!

Diner Review №129

We were going to stop by here on our way to College Park but we were not able to. As soon as we walked in, the employee rudely said “Ma’am, do not sit, I have a lot of orders and cannot take any more customers”. We were shocked because the place was empty, but apparently he had too many take out orders. We went to another Thai restaurant called “Thai Top Ten” which was incredible. The food was on point and even though they are short staff I’ve never seen such great customer service. Skip this restaurant and go to “Thai Top Ten”.

Diner Review №130

Foods good but the owner definitely shouldn’t be charging 20% tip. He took the liberty of charging it on our card without letting us know.

Diner Review №131

Diner Review №132

Food is always tasty and hot. The owner Cam is super friendly and jovial. Love the Drunken noodles and Pad Thai. Good portions and price. Nice mix of Thai dishes and Chinese far.. Relaxed atmosphere

Diner Review №133

As someone who lives nearby, I have now tried this restaurant twice and have not had great experiences. This past time I ordered Drunken Noodles and Pad Garlic and Black Pepper. Neither of them had any flavor; they were missing spices, salt, and even color to the dish. The only flavor for the drunken noodles came from the extremely spicy sauce on the side.

The drunken noodles at Mom's Siam or Sabai are way better. I would not recommend this place.

Diner Review №134

The worst water in the world! I didn't ask for a swimming pool in a cup. *dislike button*

Diner Review №135

We have always loved this place and I was extra impressed with how they're handling everything with Covid! Very clean, sanitizer everywhere, and even their vaccination cards displayed. I personally greatly appreciate that! And as always food is delish!

Diner Review №136

Customer service was great unfortunately I was underwhelmed by my food. We both got drunken noodles. The flavor was very bland and needed 2 to 3 times more spices. It was a nice rest stop for us on a long trip but I wouldn't eat here regularly if I lived here. The owner was Thai but the cook was clearly a white kid in high school or college.

Diner Review №137

Diner Review №138

Best family fresh Thai food!

Diner Review №139

Service is poor and 20% tip charged on every bill despite size of party. Owner is very sensitive and moody. Food is good but not worth it.

Diner Review №140

Ordered the Larb Gai, absolutely the worst I have ever had. The chicken had a very off putting, spoiled type taste. Will be taking it back when they open up tomorrow as they closed before I really see it. I'm giving three stars bc the man behind the counter was very personable... That could change when I return tomorrow with my order.

Diner Review №141

This place Rocks! Love me some good Spicy Thai. I have had a little of everything and never dissatisfied.

Diner Review №142

The service and food is amazing!!

Diner Review №143

Fantastic THAI good!!!! Drunken noodles were superb!!!

Diner Review №144

Diner Review №145

The food here is fantastic, especially the dumplings. The menu has a lot of variety if you're looking to try something other than the pad thai (which is also very good here).

They can make the food as spicy as you can handle or keep it mild enough for a picky 6 year old.

Portions are generous - one order is easily enough for two meals. The owner and staff are very friendly and have been very covid-safe throughout the pandemic.

I highly recommend trying them. We've been ordering regularly from Thai Gourmet for several years now.

Diner Review №146

I had the Pad Thai for the first time. This dish is the definition of comfort food! Delicious, lots of flavor, and the perfect level of spice. This is my new favorite dish and new favorite restaurant!

Diner Review №147

Food is amazing and the staff is friendly. Some of the best COVID safety protocols I've experienced too.

Diner Review №148

Wonderful food, great service as always.

Diner Review №149

My favorite Thai restaurant. The owner is the kindest and sweetest. The chefs are amazing. Food is truly out of this world. Best steamed dumplings around. An absolute treat for all in the family or just for yourself.

Diner Review №150

Small place with authentic Thai dishes. Love the Pad Prik King and the Tom Yum soup. The Panang curry is delicious! Support your local Thai restaurant and help them stay in business!

Diner Review №151

We LOVE this restaurant! I normally order the chicken pad Thai mild and my husband loves the red curry mild. The ingredients are fresh and we love the fresh spring rolls as an appetizer! This is one of our “go to” places. The owner and his family and very kind and they are always open. They are quick and efficient! Some Hanover police deputies recommended this place- and they were right! Absolutely delicious!

Diner Review №152

Diner Review №153

Food is okay 👍

Diner Review №154

20% servixe charge for using a credit card. Service sucks

Diner Review №155

Large portions, good food

Diner Review №156

I love the Thai fried rice!

Diner Review №157

Diner Review №158

Thai Gourmet’s food is fresh and they have always accommodated special requests. Their Massaman curry is delicious (makes my mouth water), as well as their Pad Thai. A definite recommend!

Diner Review №159

The poor people of this area deal with this owner because of convenience. I now drive further just so I don’t deal with him.
So rude to us picking up food many times. Can never admit he is wrong and the customers most definitely never right lol. I’ll drive a few minutes out of the way to give business to owners who appreciate the customers.

Diner Review №160

Friendly staff, food arrived quickly, my parents and I all enjoyed our plates!

Diner Review №161

Great local restaurant. They are very sanitary with their food handling during these corona times, going above and beyond to ensure the safety of their customers. The owner greeted us with a smile and was very thankful for our business. We did, however, make a small miscommunication when placing our order over the phone for takeout. Once we arrived and realized the error he humbly apologized and even sent us home with complimentary spring rolls. Will definitely go back!

Diner Review №162

Great food, great people, and efficient with carry out. They are wearing lots of PPE, even face shields when they are serving and making food.

Diner Review №163

Staff was pleasant and went above and beyond with regard to health and safety with my carry out transaction.
Flavor of drunken noodles and pad prik was good, but there was no heat (requested 2 and 3 chili). Dumplings were terrible... they were lukewarm and the filling must have been old because something tasted off.

The food was very good but the management is terrible. The owner was very rude. He demanded that we tip him after he served us. We felt he didn’t deserve one due to his behavior and attitude. He followed us out to our car just because we didn’t tip him. After all of that he told us that the next time we come he won’t serve us. He is also a terrible communicator. Please do not go here.

Pad Thai is fantastic. Can't recommend this place enough!

Good food, server was friendly and attentive. Manager sat a large party right next to us, no social distancing. I told him I didn't want to be so close to other diners. He told me to move. I had to pick my stuff up and move to a new table myself. Staff wore masks but I was disappointed about crowding diners and have too move myself.

If you want food Thai food in Mechanicsville look somewhere else. I used to come here all the time back when they first opened up and the food was great. The cook from ma Siam left there to work here and she was awesome. Now they use teens from the area to prepare the food and it shows. It really shows. Tonight my wife and I ordered Chicken pad Thai and chicken drunken noodles and the pad Thai had one piece of chicken which was less than a inch in diameter and the noodles were dry and lacked ant taste. The drunken noodles were bland and had no zing to it. If you guys want good Thai go to pad Thai in Mechanicsville off Meadowbridge.

This place is amazing! The food is fresh and made to order. The owner is friendly and personable. They are a small local business and still open for takeout during these trying times. I enjoy the Thai Gourmet Steak which you’ll see in my photo. #yummy

Best Thai food in Mechanicsville by a longshot and the closest to what the food tastes like in Thailand from any Thai restaurant I have been to before. And they're from the south, so they'll make it properly spicy for you!

Diner Review №177

The food is excellent food. Delicious. However the owner has the audacity to demand that you tip him and his staff. Extremely rude which is why it gets 3 stars. But do not think it is for the food. The food is amazing!

Restaurant was not the best Thai restaurant in Mechanicsville. We try this place because our favorite Thai restaurant was closed and wanted Thai. Our favorite restaurant is Pad Thai on Meadowbridge road.
