Classic stir-fries, curries & noodle dishes presented in a relaxed setting with contemporary decor.
Upon entering we were greeted and got seated right away. We ordered our food and did not wait long at all. The food tasted wonderful! Their cooking reminded me of my many travels through Thailand. Our waitress was very polite and quick. The cooks also came out and thanked us for coming out. Was very satisfied with the experience here. Will definitely come back again.
Intended to have a quick lunch solo, but upon entrance the place felt a bit dark so I ordered food to go instead. Clean facilities otherwise. Green curry was decent, better than a couple other Thai restaurants in the vicinity. However, a couple pieces of the chicken had this weird brown hairy spots so I couldnt finish all of it.
They posted 10% for military, but didn't get that even when showed up in uniform. Guess not all employees know the policy?
I eat a lot of Thai food around the country. This place would be way down that list. I usually get a duck dish with red or parang curry, it’s not bad; I’d call it mediocre. Also have tried the massaman curry, but lacks flavor and potatoes are undercooked. Decided to try the whole red snapper, and they gave me two because they said they were small, which was nice, but the fish was way overcooked (see picture) much of it like shoe leather. Too bad, they all seem like nice people. I think they need some competition. My wife likes the Thai rice though, which does have a nice flavor.
Edit: got takeout again since it by far the closest Thai restaurant. Ordered red curry seafood, and once again underwhelmed with very thin, runny red curry and bland flavor (see video )
Great food! We really liked Tida Thai in Norfolk, but since we've moved towards oceanfront, this is much closer, and is still really great. We love their flavor and service. Food is always hot and spicy!
Very small restaurant & too dark of an atmosphere for me to dine for lunch. Wish there was more light. My husband & I got fried tofu Pad Thai. The tofu was good, however the pad Thai was a bit too sour for my taste. Couldn’t finish my plate & take to go. We did order Thai tea & with 1 waitress working only, she forgot our drink, but made it up for us by give us 1 drink for free. Parking is also difficult in such a small plaza. Overall mixed feelings coming here again.
We went here for the first time for a dine in experience. Our waitress was really kind and quickly took our orders. She also kept our drinks refilled. We both ordered pad Thai! One dish is enough to feed 2 people. So now we have leftovers! Yay! We will be back to visit! Super happy with our experience!
Inconsistently serving, Came here for second time, I order appetizers jumbo tofu twice at the first time came nice well plating set with shredded spiral carrot sauce on the middle at the tofu all around the plate. Then again I order one more it came with with shredded carrot sauce on side and fried some kind like white noddle and the tofu just dump it on top of the white noddle. The server not really friendly and is take long to wait for our check
Very disappointed. We're 5 minutes from the restaurant and we I got home, the two meals were not hot and the vegetables were over cooked, as were the shrimp. We won't be returning.
had the crab rice with the beef sauce on the side) was freaking amazing! the two just POP together!

Highly recommended
Uncooked chicken and terrible crab Rangoon.
Don’t let the fact that a place can look empty fool you. This place serves up some seriously heavy hitters.
The server was just so personable and attentive that it felt less like a restaurant and more like eating dinner at a friend’s house.
The drunken noodles, Tom ka, and coconut curry. Every flavor mastered: sour, sweet, salty, spicy, umami. Every dish created with such thought and care.
I seriously can’t speak enough praises of this place.
Amazing!
I have discovered this excellant Thai restaurant, which has become one of my favorite places to eat.Everything is fresh and made right then and there.Loved everyting i had.Have brought friends there and they love it also.
Good food
Honestly, the prices are just too high. $20+ for an entree at a thai restaurant that isn't particularly special is insane. Food is good, its just unfortunate that they crept up prices over the years. I can get curry or noodle dishes at half a dozen other places within 15 minutes for nearly half the price. This place is not special enough to merit the prices.
Wonderful staff, wonderful food
not over crowded , quick and polite service , and amazing food . the portion size was perfect and the price wasnt too much

Amazing place! Great food & customer service
The food is amazing! The Tom Kha soup is the absolute best. And so it the Pad Thai!
Pinit gave us awesome service. Made me feel so welcomed. I hope I get to see her soon and enjoy that fantastic Mango Sticky Rice again! Kay, the owner is spectacular!
This is a great place with a lot of options, reasonable prices, and quality food 😀

I've been here 3 times, and each time it gets better. I ordered the chicken pad thai, spring rolls, dumplings and crab rangoons. I love adding lime juice to the pad thai and it's so good. Highly recommend.
The food was yummy and I enjoy it you should eat here this the best Thai food ever
Online order didn't arrive at the store until after I went inside, and we discussed the order, and they honored the screenshot of the receipt, and she handed me the meal to go. ....And I didn't even walk in until 20min after I ordered.
I'm grateful they honored it, but that was a long wait bc of a faulty ordering system.
Pad Thai. Broccoli was tough/woody. Baby corn was sliced in half, long way. Kind of felt like some quality was cut.
Drunken Noodle was delicious. Highly recommended
do NOT order via DoorDASH!! DoorDash screws up, charges you with NO refund!
Restaurant & food VERY EXCELLENT!
Just order in person!!
The Tom yum soup is awesome, staff is always friendly and patient with kids.
Have eaten here, done takeout and delivery. Always good. Tom Kha with Chicken👍 Summer rolls👍 Pad See Yew 👍Get it all spicy and have some fun!!! Get some sticky rice for dessert!

Delicious I’m vegetarian so she said she could make anything vegetarian
The staff are always smiling and pleasant. Food fresh and HOT. Say 5 star for their spiciest plates.

I really wanted to like this place. The service was pretty good until of course I called and told them that I had gotten food poisoning from the food I ate there. Me and my wife only went to one restaurant over the weekend and this was it. There was some confusion about what went in the dish as we have dietary restrictions, and was told to go see a doctor, and provide a note before they would do anything. I’ve had this issue a couple times in the past, and the restaurant was always more than helpful in providing a refund upon the explanation of the issue however I did not get that from this location.
Terrible experience. Ordered for pick up, only to arrive and wait 30 minutes for the restaurant to be incredibly rude and cancel my friends order. Workers were rude to other people waiting for pick up as well. This place needs ZERO STARS.
Ordered for pickup through Uber eats. Got a notification it was ready, then waited 30 minutes at the restaurant for them to cancel. The staff was really rude the whole time our friend waited and screamed at her when she asked about the cancelled order.
I have eaten here several times, but I was truly disappointed today. We placed our order at 650pm thru their online services with an estimated pickup time, generated by them, for 725pm to 735pm. I arrived at 745pm and told that the order wasn't ready. At 8pm I asked how much longer and was told another 20 minutes. Keep in mind that I had a simple order, two entrees and two appetizers. And it wasn't that they said 20 more minutes, it's the fact that it was said with no apology, explanation or compassion. I understand that restaurants are short staffed, but an hour and a half to get a simple meal is unexpected.
The food is so good and the staff is great. We took family who came for a long weekend and they wanted to eat it a second time. I loved my chicken cashew and Hawaiian fried rice was a group favorite.
We had Pineapple Duck and a flat noodle dish. Both dishes were good. But the duck was our favorite! Crispy skin and the flavor was excellent. If we are every in the area again we will be back!
Food was good and so was the staff.
Great Thai food best in VA Beach!
Absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE the food here!!! The Drunken Noodles are the best! And the Mango Sweet Sticky Rice is delicious!
The food was flavorful but was over cooked
Couldn’t figure out how to leave a review on Uber Eats, so here I am. Just wanted to say that the food is excellent. The crab rangoons are bite size and extra tasty. Spring rolls were crispy. Hawaiian rice and Pad Thai were simply excellent and the portions are huge. Would happily eat here again.
Good food! 😊
Visiting from out of town and craved some Thai. Service was great however sad that larb was served not with cabbage, but iceberg lettuce. Unfortunately they did not have nam sod either. Pad Thai was good.
Food is very good 👍
Food was very good with nice sized portions. The ambiance was quaint and cute, liked the lighting and service was quick. very good dine in experience.
We went here for the first time for a dine in experience. Our waitress was really kind and quickly took our orders. She also kept our drinks refilled. We both ordered pad Thai! One dish is enough to feed 2 people. So now we have leftovers! Yay! We will be back to visit! Super happy with our experience!
Ordered take out, got their Pad Thai. It was the worst Pad Thai I have ever had. Tried to call to talk to them. Too busy to answer phone. Left a message to have manager call me back to discuss. They never made any effort to contact me. So poor food and poor service
Never disappointed here. The food is fresh and delicious. Plenty of options are available. Staff is very attentive, but not intrusive.
Hate giving bad reviews but unfortunately I had a decently bad/belittling experience. My entire family and I put our orders in via door dash for pick up. It gave a time frame to pick the food up and I left to arrive just as the window started. I was about half way there when I received a text that the order was ready. When I arrived, the woman looked confused and went to grab my order and came back and said someone had already picked it up. I showed her my door dash app and said no, the order pick up window is just starting and obviously I hadn’t picked it up. She made several comments asking if someone else could’ve picked it up for me. I stated no, my husband is at home with the kids. I’m the only one who could’ve picked it up. She walked in the back and ended up coming back to me and said they’ll remake the food and apologized. I didn’t make a huge fuss. Mistakes happen. I told her I’d run an errand and come back. When I returned, about 10 minutes later she comes out with the bag of food and when I reached out for it she held onto it and in front of about 4-5 people waiting to be sat stated “I know you had a friend or family member pick up the first order so enjoy the free food.” I still wasn’t rude and was in fact so embarrassed I almost started crying right there in the restaurant and reiterated that my husband is at home with our four kids who are waiting for their dinners so it’s impossible for someone to have picked it up for me, took the food, and left. So unfortunately she belittled me in front of quite a few other customers because she didn’t do her job to check the door dash app order and match to an ID. When I did get the food home, most of it was wrong and poorly made. Not the normal quality that their food is. So that was the icing on the cake of an experience I just had. This was supposed to be our fun family dinner night that we have 1-2 nights per month when we don’t cook and either go out to eat or order in and this was our experience. With that being said, both my husband and I have been loyal Tida Thai customers to both the upton drive location and the Norfolk location. I will no longer personally go to either location and my husband is super disappointed in the way things went tonight as well. His choice if he chooses to go again. Hopefully this doesn’t happen to someone else. I highly recommend that they step their door dash protocol up and check peoples apps and what not to avoid something like this again. And if it does happen, don’t automatically assume someone is trying to steal 6 plates of food (which would actually total to 12 if her theory were correct).
Prices too high. Portions small. Couldn’t even fill up the container with rice when we paid for extra.
Edit: tried a second time, lettuce wraps chicken container was half filled. Barely enough for 2 lettuce wraps. Not sure why we expected differently. Called to ask them about it and let them know we were dissatisfied and they showed no concern at all and just said “that’s just how it is”. Not happy. Won’t be back.
Delicious food, well priced, expert and courteous service, well decorated with a pleasing ambience. A small place, moderately full of customers when we were there about 6:30 pm on a Monday and we never waited a bit to order, between courses, or to settle the bill. I would call this a near perfect dining experience.
Not really thai, more like Chinese food trying to pass as thai.
This place has lousy customer service. I walk in and barely get a greeting. I ask for a table for two and the woman sat me at a booth where the table width was so short and so you are seated far from table. I mentioned to lady about table and she shoves the table towards me rudely. How the heck can you enjoy your meal when you have to reach for it??? Very uncomfortable. We walked out. Staff is rude!!
Really enjoyed this place. The penang was super spicy and delicious. Will definitely be back soon!
good thai food in virginia beach. i like the pad thai a lot.
Food is superb. Wish they had a bit more seating at times. Staff is tremendous and their beers are always cold 🙂
Good food, spice level somewhat inconsistent though
The picture shown was my daughter's meal. She loved it. The food my wife and I was great. If we're in this area of Virginia Beach we'll be back.
Overall good food, always had quick pickup service. Never ran into them missing anything from my order. Their heart guide is a little loose but worth a shot as there's no better option on this side of town.
Amazing food and great customer service🤩🤩
The food was awesome. This place have a good Pad Thai, Red curry Duck. If you don’t know what to order please ask the waitress they can give you good decision about Thai food. If you order the food you don’t eat then you will not like it. I have been here many time the owner are very nice. I think only one place treat I knew owner cooking foods. Sorry about another reviews said about service but foods so delicious in Red Mill area. Now I find out they have another location in Norfork name Rama Garden same owner. Please give a chance to try out. Owner have very night skills and know how to cooking best Thai food in the world. I just ignored about service.
Best Thai food in the area. Friendly and attentive service. Absolutely delicious food!
Great green curry!!! Needs more help.
Great Thai food. Service is great. This is a weekly stop.
Nice little Thai place - had lunch there recently. Really fast service, tasty food, good portion size.
Ordered online. Store is closed. So I'm charged but cant have order. Its literally min br the re open time and she blows me off with " I'm sorry" no customer service. I love thai food but dont enjoy wasted time or haggling for a refund
Great service, food, and atmosphere!
Genuine Thai, great staff
I’ve had their food, it’s good. Probably worthy of 4 stars. They get 2 stars however, due to their TERRIBLE customer service. The lady with glasses that works the floor is incredibly rude. The food is never done when expected. I was waiting at the front of the restaurant and the lady said everyone had to wait by the door. She would not come to ask anyone what they were waiting for. So, standing inside the store, I called the store to check the status of the order. She answered the phone about 15 feet from where I was standing and told me the order wasn’t ready. I asked her when it would be. She said she would check. She then put the phone down, and walked away from it, leaving it there for 7 minutes while she did other stuff and eventually came up front. I was not the only frustrated customer. There were two others there At the same time equally irritated.
Stuffed chicken wings appetizer is next level! Nice folks there...
Tida Thai tied me over.
Overall experience was great. service was great and food was excellent.
Great food and service.
Food was 5 star worthy and the restaurant was clean and cozy to top it they had real fresh flowers at the table that was a plus. I recommend the drunken noodles. Can’t wait to go back and try more of the menu also the waiter was friendly and patient and food came super fast and was fresh.
Delicious food, well-seasoned. Nice interior, very clean. Good service.
A cozy cafe offering delicious Thai dishes at a reasonable price. I had the ginger seafood luncheon platter. Under $10, The dish was flavorful, amply filled with scallops, shrimp and squid and was delicious! Served with Jasmine rice and a vegetarian eggroll (appetizer). A gem highly recommended !
The food and drinks were amazing! I'm definitely going back for some more delicious food!
Fabulous food! Very fresh’
Lettuce wraps and wonton soup are both outstanding and fresh!!!!
The best thai restaurant in Virginia Beach. The drunken noodles and Sriracha beef are amazing.
I always love Thai food. Tida Thai doesn't disappoint. The panang and green curries are good, as is the tom kha soup. The service is solid, and the decor is nice.
Have never had a bad meal here.
Good service, good food, everytime.
Very good. Would definitely come back.
It was a good experience.
Good fresh food
Inconsistently serving, Came here for second time, I order appetizers jumbo tofu twice at the first time came nice well plating set with shredded spiral carrot sauce on the middle at the tofu all around the plate. Then again I order one more it came with with shredded carrot sauce on side and fried some kind like white noddle and the tofu just dump it on top of the white noddle. The server not really friendly and is take long to wait for our check
Great service and food was great. Only tip is ask for their spicy spice tray if you like to turn up the heat
Wow! I will definitely visit again, next time I am in the area.
Wonderful experience bringing my Mom for pad thai and crabmeat fried rice.
Always excellent authentic thai cuisine. Staff is nice. Good quick service.
Always delicious!!!
Soup wonton & sweet & sour chicken, egg roll. Nice place, service is good
Ordered panang curry and green curry chicken for our dinner. The first one lacked the peanut taste and thickness of coconut sauce. Both dishes were kinda soupy. It says on the menu it comes with jasmine rice but it was just regular white rice. On the positive note, the portions were generous and the food came out fast.
This is the best Thai Food around. We always have the best experience here, the staff is friendly and the food is authentic. The portions are so large we always have enough leftovers for lunch the next day! Highly recommend!
The server was amazingly kind but the food was just not great. The summer rolls were amazing but the dumplings and the Pad Thai were bad.
The waitress was very good very attentive and very pleasant and the spicy pineapple stir fry was fantastic!!!
Delicious food and superb service!
Wow. Food beautifully presented. Ecclectic atmosphere. Delicious food -- authentic. Great staff
We love the food and service here. Pinit is a joy and treats us well.
We love this place. Food is excellent, service is fast and efficient, prices reasonable. Have tried other Thai restaurants but this one always surpasses our expectations!
Not hard to give Tida Thai 5 stars. The food is excellent and the service is great. The food is reasonably priced and the atmosphere is great and a bit unique compared to most Thai restaurants I've been to. I strongly recommend checking this place out!
Always good, and IMO the best thai around!
Always delicious!
I picked up pad Thai to go a few days ago and after a got home and started to eat it some I realized something was off. The dish was sandy. My guess is someone forgot to rinse off the green onions. I don’t think that it’s a regular occurrence but still.
The PAD THAI was horrible. It taste and looked like noodle and ketchup. It had no vegetables and very little meat. Will not go back and will not recommend.
Cozy and clean venue combined with delicious food that have I am consistently impressed with. As of writing this I have had the Panang Curry, Larb Gai Salad, Pad Woon Sen, Satay, Hawaiian Fried Rice, Spicy Mango, and of course Pad Thai.
The beer selection is slightly better than most Thai restaurants I have visited with them adding American lagers such as Yuengling, on tap, to the standard lineup.
The food portions are generous and the pricing is on par with similar options in the area.
Excellent meal! Large portions. Variety of spice levels. I asked for spicy level 5 and it was spicy and delicious. Nice quiet atmosphere.
Good food. Ambience was a bit outdated. Great service.
Want to try something new? Try a culture you’re not familiar with. It’s nice to open up your pallet sometimes and explore your tastebuds.
Tida Thai is located in the Redmill area, right next to the Petco. I remember going years ago with my family however, I don’t really remember my experience because again, it was years ago.
When we recently went .. I didn’t know how to feel. I mean the atmosphere was nice however, when I got my food I was like “oh”. I ended up ordering something I wasn’t familiar with, Lamb Curry. I never really had curry before but I knew the one I was getting was spicy because it had a chili pepper on the side. I was very excited. We started off with a salad. The salad dressing tasted very good. You could taste the fresh ginger that was placed on it.
So my food came out. It looked wonderful. A nice portion and it also came with rice for $19.95. What I wasn’t excited about for $19.95 was that the potatoes that came with the curry were hard to bite into. It was like it was very raw and undercooked. Then the peas seemed hard as if they were straight from a frozen bag in the freezer. The curry part and lamb was good. The random curly fry lowkey lost me lol. However, from being an active meal prepper and using frozen food, I was really disappointed to feel as if my peas came from that.
My mom got Hawaiian fried rice and she enjoyed it. She also got Thai tea. My dad got the drunken noodles and also enjoyed it. The lamb curry was good, minus the uncooked potatoes and peas. .
The service was good. Our waters were never empty and the food also came fast however, the food part was kind of a miss for me.
Not really my type of food but good consistent quality dishes.
Always great. Clean place. Super Fast and friendly service.
Fantastic food and service
Love this place. Food is fresh and always delicious
excellent meal! The thai spicy fried rice is amazing, with the perfect amount of spice to be our go-to order. The straw roses Are just one of the small but memorable touches here. Well worth a visit...and a return visit!
Phenomenal. The food is amazing and the Hawaii dish is to die for!!!! Tida Thai offers a kids menu offers dishes almost as big as the adult dishes and you'll need boxes at the end of it because it is a lot of great food. We'll lit, calm, and just downright cool place to dine.
A hidden gem, delicious food, they can make it super hot if you like, staff is great.
Best Thai food at the beach!
Always great consistent food. Have had nearly everything on the menu. All great and great service too.
Omg I go here every chance I get...they used to located in hilltop area now in red mill....spring rolls with sauce are AMAZING and the portions are big
The experience was fun, delightful and tasty. The service was helpful, courteous, friendly, and aware. She helped us decide by giving us a small sample. She served us timely allowing us to enjoy our dishes and didn't rush us. Every dish arrived with a beautiful presentation. The fruits and vegetables were fresh. The artistic presentation charming! I would recommend this location. Thai food doesn't have to be so hot and spicy. They allow you to have it your way. The Thai green tea was smooth and well worth trying! The tofu and curry pleased our palates. We left full and pleased with our experience.
its OK. Wouldn't say it's authentic really. Masaman curry runny and not really thick with the amount of spices I would've expected. Chicken over cooked. Still decent when you're hungry though.
I've been to this Tida Thai many times. Food is always excellent, service very attentive. I highly recommend this local thai restaurant.
