The pad Thai was very good! The sweet and sour chicken was also tasty. My daughter liked the bubble tea. The serving sizes are very large. The service is friendly but very slow. It's probably better to call ahead or just get takeout. The dining room is tiny. It might seat 10 people max.
Ordered on q menu for the second. The first time I thought they didn’t have my order ready due to day and time but this i ordered day before for next day when they open. My pick up time was for 11:15 am , I came in at 11:23 am . She said my order as if she just remembered she confirmed it. They went back there to cook it. This took 15 minutes to get my food which she burned (didn’t see until I got home for work) trying to cook fast and I asked her what would be better call in or q menu pick up because my order wasn’t ready again and I have go to work. She giggled and say either way, I said but I’m which is better for it to actually be ready . She mumbled something, this was beef pho ( had barely any beef) I was trying and the curry puffs are burned and taste burned, none of instructions were followed. I have had pho at other places this was underwhelming and had minimum ingredients vs various veggies, quail egg
I do really recomend this place. I was on my way home and I found this Thai restaurant. The service is amazing and the food is great too. The bathrooms are super clean and that tells a lot of the cleaness of the place. I had a pineapple rice with chicken for just 16 dollars and the size was perfect.
The quality of the food and service you get from this place is incredible. Just be careful if you have friends or families with allergies, the menu is all inclusive, but some dishes have shell fish and peanut oil in them.
If you are careful ordering, this is going to be one of the better dining experiences in the city of Petersburg. I highly recommend the bubble tea if you haven’t had one, it is quite the experience.
Also, Thai food can be spicy, but that’s why we love it!
Papaya salad was outstanding!
I placed order online (through their website) never received food and they refused to refund my money!!!
I got fried dumplings, spring rolls and white rice
I definitely recommend the dumplings with the spicy chile sauce it was delicious!
Wonderful people and such good food!
Wow. Small, mostly take out, but great food. We'll definitely stop again while driving i95.
Lots of options, nice staff, and reasonable prices. Always quick!
Nice place and friendly owners. I asked for the chicken curry as spicy as possible, and they went out of their way to do just that, including an extra side of minced chilis. It was perfect! Will definitely stop again!
Huge quantity of delicious food.
Great experience! Love the food! And the service and atmosphere. Will def be back. And they have bubble tea my daughter loves. Thank you!
Nothing Thai about Nisa Thai 2. I ordered the Drunken Noodles & Pad See Ew, and it was flavorless and tasted like it was cooked in vegetable oil. Both dishes were oily and the Drunken Noodles didn’t have any spice at all, and the serving size is small.
I would never order here again. If you’re looking for tasty, local Thai in this area, I recommend Kacha Thai in Hopewell.

Wantons had absolutely no filling lol. But other than that it was okay. Had the pad Thai. I would eat it again. I prefer kacha Thai.
Wow, the Yellow Curry was amazing.
Cozy
Food is delicious
Very kind
You order the combo with meatballs..1 meatball 🧐. This use to be a decent place to order from but now it's a ripoff
Food is good. But the price is on the high side for the quantity. Still worth is with the right dishes.No lunch specials either.
Like small places. Very small dining room. Not a large area to seat a family. However, even though showing up while busy, they took us to a large overflow dining area in the basement. Food was good and so was the service. Would go back.
Don’t give you enough shrimp I only had 3 and a lot of rice
The food is outstanding

Had to-go while stopping in town for the night, the whole area is really cute and Nisa is no exception. Very quick service and the food was excellent! I had the yellow curry and my partner did garlic chicken both were excellent. I only wish I had tried their Tom Kha because given how good the curry was I'm sure it would've been excellent. I hope I'll be back soon!
THERE ARE MORE TABLES! I came back to edit this because I've been seeing reviews that down grade this place because it's small. There are only 3 tables up front, but there's a whole down stairs area with 8 or 9 tables. Not sure if this area is open in the evening, but I've been for lunch and this is usually where I sit at. It's a great local place for Thai food! I found them during the pandemic and I've kept coming back. The food is great, the prices are reasonable, and the service is fast. I can usually place an order and walk out with my food within 10-15 mins. Side note: if you do decide to dine-in there's more seating than what you see. There are 3 tables up front but there are more downstairs.
Disclosure: we’re Thai food aficionados, and we have a diary of over 40-50 Thai places we’ve visited. The fact this place has a vegetarian menu (including Drunken noodles) is a big plus, and their food was decent just not our favorite (the vegetarian duck dish was good though, just not really spicy)
On our bill, each item was billed $1 more than listed on the menu: when we asked, we were told that the prices had risen but beware menus were still pending. The hostess did give us a “discount” to make the prices the same as the menu and free tea by way of apology though
Me and mom my would always come here in this restaurant and I would recommend this. Please be mindful that this is an Asian Cuisine, so how they do things is different than others. (I just wanted to inform MOST of y’all) The service was superb and the server was such a sweet and nice lady! Love her❤️ Overall, 5/5 give it a try!
Being away from home, I wanted a nice homestyle meal. The staff was friendly and service was fast. I got my favorite, mussaman curry, and it was not bad at all. I definitely appreciate their authenticity and friendly service.
I forgot to take a before picture, so here's my finished meal.
This review is based on delivery order...Very dry drunken noodles and pad Thai. The chicken on both was good though. Overall, flavor was just okay. No spiciness at all. We were both a little bummed.
We will give them a second chance at another date and update review then.
I’m incredibly disappointed in who ever is working the kitchen today. I just had my food delivered and received the most burnt and over cooked wings. The pho broth taste terrible, overly salty. The only thing eatable were my shrimp rolls. This is not my first time ordering from this restaurant but unfortunately this will definitely be my last.
Small hole in the wall Thai place, yes please!! Great tasting food as well!!!
The food I ordered was fantastic, It was drunken noodles because I like spicy, and It was spicy and tasty, beyond my expectations. I only don't like the location, not easy to find a space for parking.
Lovely people. Clean store. Great food!
I love it!
They gave me the wrong order.
Y'all! I cannot even begin to describe the terrible experience we just had. We ordered Doordash pickup and arrived at the scheduled time to get our food. After waiting for a bit, were told our food had been picked up by a Doordash delivery driver and accidentally delivered to the wrong house. Oh, but wait, the driver was on the way back and we need to wait because the food wasn't opened. We insisted they either remake or refund the food. They refused and insisted we wait for the food to come back or work through Doordash for a refund. I mean, come on, it left your restaurant and went to someone else's house, but you just want us to trust that it wasn't opened? That's just gross. We left without our food or a refund. Definitely will not return, which sucks, because this the only Thai place in town. For what it's worth, we were there for over 20 minutes and in that time 1) the Doordash driver did not return, but 2) the person whose house our food went to showed up and got their food hot and fast (and free, because Doordash had refunded them)
First time patron. Had Spring Roll, spicy Thai Shrimp Basil and Iced Tea. The Shrimp Basil was so good that I inquired about Sunday hours so that I could return with my son the next day. Unfortunately, they are closed on Sundays. One lady took care of tables and cash register . She was still able to keep my iced tea filled. There are only a few tables for dine-in and they kept busy with takeouts. There are other locations; this is the only one I visited. If I am back in area, I would definitely consider visiting again and highly recommend others give it a try.
Absolutely love this place, very clean. Everyone is welcoming. The food is delicious!! The boba 🧋 tea is my favorite part!! Would recommend to anyone!!
Definitely on par with the worst pho I have had. Took a chance because they were local and definitely was a let down. The meat (beef) seemed old and dry, the bean sprouts were brown and the broth was almost clear which was my first indicator that this might not be right. I've had it all over the country and never been quite like this. My wife and I both tossed ours and crossed this place off the list.
I absolutely enjoy the chicken fried rice with no onions ( not saying it’s bad with onions ) I just don’t eat onions. But great place to eat and enjoy a peaceful environment.
Absolutely amazing. I had the beef pho as well as the green bubble tea, will definitely be back.
Tried three things and not like anything.
They are always so nice! Quick and order has never been wrong.
Food was trash dry burnt spent 93.00 never again....
the best meal of my life.
Food was good, but price was much too high for what you get. I paid for the premium size for both dishes, Thai fried rice and basil shrimp. The fried rice was about the same size as other establishments, so I'm not sure what was premium about it. The portion size for the basil shrimp was very disappointing. It was the standard sized to-go container and it was maybe 1/4 full. The veggies were mostly just huge junks of onions. The sauce wasn't enough for the rice. I can't imagine how much I would have received had I ordered the regular size. Overall, I spent $37 on two rice dishes and didn't have leftovers and I don't eat much, so I almost always have leftovers.
If you say you are open until 9p, then be open until 9p, don’t have your open sign on.
Pho is delicious
The service was TERRIBLE. (Dine in experience) They acted like they didn't want to serve me because of my skin color. The food wasn't good either. Absolutely no taste. Your better off going to the places in Richmond. Once again, the service was bad. Once I was done eating she didn't even say thank you or anything just threw the receipt at me.
The food is good but never order online. They don’t check those orders. I call myself ordering ahead waited 30 mins. Call to see if the order done, she’s like ok let me see… hang up. I get there and they still haven’t started cooking my chicken and rice 🙄 I waited 10 MORE minutes before I just said forget it and left.
Very disappointed. High rating for Thai in our area, so we gave it a try. I ordered Pad See Ewe. The noodles were very overcooked. The sauce wasn't anything to write home about. I ordered the premium (not sure what made it premium) and there were only 5 Broccoli pieces. The dish and food was overall very oily. I ended up tossing most of it in the trash. What a waste, lesson learned.
Prompt service ♥ kind and professional services 😀 food is awesome...had the thin rice noodles with chicken thi 😋
OMG this hidden gem is so delicious! Great customer service and yummy food. The only thing I would say is the portions seemed rather small. I ordered the Basil Duck premium and I think they accidentally gave me a regular size portion. I also ordered the Curry chicken, chicken fried rice, Curry Puff and Tod Mun. The Tod Mun is so yummy and the curry puff with the cucumber dipping sauce is great.
Update: I went here on a Saturday afternoon and it was clearly busy. I called in and they prepared my order. When I got home, my husband noticed that there was hair in our food. The place is usually running pretty smoothly, but this particular day things seemed a bit chaotic. The food was still good but I was disappointed about the hair in my food
This is a must try place if your in the area not a lot of seating but the food is worth it
Wow Lao! Words can't describe how good and authentic! Ordered the dumplings, Roasted Duck 🦆 basil stir fry and som tum Lao with shrimp. 🦐
Both were a bit spicy and we loved it. Can't wait to try the rest of the menu.
Only can say wow. Great food!
A real find!
Super nice family owned restaurant with many menu options. Worth getting off 95 if you are traveling. Take a break!
The cashier at Niss Thai Cuisine is very friendly and polite.
Ground level tables were occupied, so we were brought downstairs. Area with no charm at all, and kid (owner's?) playing video game at a table. I wasn't too impressed with my curry, the potato chunks looked green and were too hard for my liking (I like it when they fall apart, not when I have to cut with a knife). My husband liked his dish okay. We ordered the large portions, which indeed are large, although only a small amount of rice with them. Our waiter never checked in on us at all after delivering the food, and when we went upstairs to ask for a to go box and pay, we found him him eating his own dinner. We were surprised that on our bill 3 x $1.00 charge was added, and one time $0.50. I believe the latter was for take out boxes that we asked for, but the former was vague. The lady mentioned something about prices going up. The menu had some prices crossed out and changed, but I guess ours got a hidden price increase. I certainly didn't appreciate being charged more than advertised on the menu (could have said so at time of ordering?). Total was $38 for 2 chicken curry dinners. I have had much better for much less, and with the lacking service and atmosphere, I won't be going there again.
Best Thai takeout south of Richmond VA. Boba tea is delicious. If you love Thai food this is your takeout location.
Great little place. My go-to (and only option) for Pho in the area. Prices are a little high, but the food is good and the staff is friendly.
Food was so amazing! Service was great & portions are definitely worth it. Reasonable price. 10/10 recommend
The pad Thai was very good! The sweet and sour chicken was also tasty. My daughter liked the bubble tea. The serving sizes are very large. The service is friendly but very slow. It's probably better to call ahead or just get takeout. The dining room is tiny. It might seat 10 people max.
Food is so good Only thing I can say check it out
Really, really good Pad Thai. Good service and big portions.
This restaurant was good, but could make simple changes to be better.
1. We had dine in — late June- over 85F inside- door open and No AC (employee said it was broken)
2. Curry was soup consistency— great taste and flavor but more like Curry Tom Yum soup (if there is such a thing?).
3. Prices reasonable— except for drinks (non-alcoholic)
4. Spring rolls good, but do not recommend fish cakes at all.
Overall this isn’t a bad place — I’d probably stick with some Thai staples and not venture around the menu too much. Good take out option, and they had lots of door dash orders. If you want excellent Thai in the area, you’ll probably have to go to north of Petersburg.
They fogot to give me broth with my pho. Smh
Amazing food! If you like pasta try #24 and #9. If you like soup try #69 with brisket. There is additional seating on the lower level with a wet bar and television. Seriously try it.
Great service, great food. Cute little place to enjoy a nice dinner.
Ordered take out today with my sister. Both of our entrees were fresh and delicious. The bubble tea was the best I have ever had. We also ordered 3 different appetizers and all of it was cooked to perfection. The employee that helped us was also very sweet. We will definitely be back in the future!

This place is great! Very friendly staff. The duck curry was amazing, and I also recommend the tiger beef, fried tofu, and mango sticky rice.
The food looked and tasted great. The people were also really nice.
This was a good meal! We enjoyed our main courses of pho with beef and fried rice with beef!
Truly the best Thai takeaway in Richmond Virginia
The Pho place in Chester closed (closed today sign has been up for months now), so I wanted to find a new place. Pho Saigon on Hull has never impressed me with their broth. I was given a suggestion by a friend to try Nisa Thai 2 and that their “pho” was amazing. First off, it is tasty, but it’s not Vietnamese style broth in any form. It tastes like wonton soup broth. I ordered to go and the setup was as such: the beef was cooked and all of the ingredients were in the bowl together. All other pho places, the meal itself comes deconstructed. The food was good, but do not think this replaces Vietnamese pho.
Heavy portions, fabulous flavor, excellent service! The food was amazing! Cute ambiance with small dining area and well cared for plants!
Delicious Pad Thai!
One of my favorite restaurants in Old Town .Service is exceptional as is the food.
Went here for dinner. They had vietnamese, thai and laos food. We had pad see ew, duck and chicken pho.
absolutely one of my favorite restaurants around. You can’t beat it for the authentic Thai food, atmosphere, and fast and friendly service. The folks who run the business are the sweetest and are so attentive to their customers. My fiancé and I are regulars now and recommend it to everyone!!
