Original Thai Street Food in Olympia
Online ordering was easy and my food was ready when I arrived. Very friendly and fast service.
I ordered the Pad Thai and it was delicious. They do 1-5 stars for their spicy scale. I got three stars and it was just right. I look forward to going back and trying another dish.
I'm always looking for places where the food reminds me of Thailand in both look and taste. NOU THAI checks these boxes for me in both categories. Not only is the food delicious and captures the flavor of my favorite meals in Bangkok but their service and sincerity in creating a quality experience made an equally profound impression. We will definitely make this place a regular stop when in the area. If you are a fan of Thai food that tastes like it's from Thailand and not just made for American tastes, try this spot out!
Delicious and authentic Thai food. This is where we most often go when we get take out and it doesn't disappoint! The Thai fried rice and curries are particularly good. I look forward to trying other dishes in the future. Consistently friendly service is the cherry on top.
Idk how this place doesn’t have 5 stars. It’s ridiculously good. The best Thai food I’ve had and the best in town(: You can tell a lot of thought went into designing their dishes and I love that they use fresh veggies and make most things in-house.
Bland and flavorless.
Amazing flavors and fresh ingredients. Unique fresh rolls as well! Will be coming again!

Really good green curry, fried rice and pad se ew. Had curry dip and fresh rolls as apps. so good! Was able to share and fill up four people
Cute restaurant and delicious food. The staff follows up/calls (online order) when your food is ready.
Yum! We love thai food and this place does not disappoint! The best massaman curry I have ever had! My kids also thoroughly enjoyed the curries we had! Cute place! Nice service.
Delicious Thai Food at a fair price!

THE BEST! The food is impeccable and the staff are all so sweet. We eat here every week and recommend them to all our friends.
Best Thai in Oly
Amazing food! Amazing people! I keep going back!
Awesome service and amazing food.
By far the best Thai food in Olympia similar to what I’m used to in Portland.
Ummmm yum!!! 6 stars all the way. The food is outstanding, the service is super accommodating and great, the atmosphere is lovely. We eat here every time we are in town and recommend to anyone going to Olympia! ❤️
The food was amazing. Perfect balance of spices and flavors. Best Thai we have had in Olympia.
This place is the definition of "hit or miss". I have been here 3 times, ordered the same thing (tofu pad thai) all 3 times, and have had 3 very different experiences each time. The first was just okay, but it was convenient enough, I wanted to try it again. The second time was AMAZING! Definitely some of the best pad thai in the area, it was crazy good. Smoky, savory, the perfect balance with the lime, I could not have been happier. The third time it was just sad, mushy and flavorless. I plan to return and chase the 2nd visit dragon, because it was really that good, but my most recent visit was incredibly disappointing.
I’m leaving three stars with the hope to see improvement! Used to come here all the time but we don’t like the taste in the food since the new management. I will say the service is awesome and the servers are really cool. Looking forward to giving it another chance in the future.
Nou Thai offers great food, awesome service, and a relaxed atmosphere. The dishes are full of flavor, the staff is friendly and attentive, and the ambiance is perfect for a laid-back meal. Highly recommended for a delightful Thai dining experience!
Under new management- we used to love this yummy, fresh, flavorful food but now it is bland. Missing the old management!
Amazing food. Everything we had was delicious. Great service so friendly and fast
Wow. just. Wow.
Today was my first time trying out this Thai restaurant and I was absolutely blown away. I ordered a Chicken Pad See Ew level 2, and this has got to be the best thing I have ever tasted. I will definitely be coming back. The lady who rang me out was so kind as I told her it was my first time. Reasonable price. Beautiful and clean.
I've never had Thai where I didn't have any leftovers. The Rama Garden only had 6 pieces of tofu and watery flavorless sauce.
$20 for rice, 6 pc tofu, and tiny amount of veggies? Crazy. Even by 2024 standards...
*update: according to other reviews, they have a new owner (which explains a lot). It had been a while since I ordered. But at least 10 previous orders and every other time, I had no complaints. It was very different (and not in a good way), which made it more disappointing. I even called to ask before posting this review to give them a chance to let me know what went wrong. But, all she said was it was watery from the vegetables..... (until I posted this). It wasn't watery from the vegetables under the previous owner? It is the closest place, but looks like I'll be going elsewhere.
I had the Pad Thai and it was very good. Add in a side of their peanut sauce and it was fantastic. Their peanut sauce is up there with the best of them. Everything else on the menu looked very good as well.
Great food!
Excellent Pad Thai and Massaman curry. Look forward to returning!
Excellent food. Great service. Open tables at 7:30 on a Friday. Awesome pot stickers.
Fantastic chicken pad Thai and very fast turnaround time! Will be back!
Ate here while traveling. It was good food and the waitress was super friendly!
Good service and the foods is amazing good
So happy to have dined here. Best Thai meal in Oly since moving here two years ago. Beautiful open cafe dining room. Quality hot spice. Will be back again and again.
This place is a MUST for eating Thai food in Olympia!
The Owner/Manager is engaging, efficient, and appreciative. Her passion for the restaurant is fiery and fierce, with Gordon Ramsey finesse.
My boyfriend and I are Thai food fanatics and the chef tonight made a dream-worthy Panang Curry (Gluten Free too!) that was actually thick enough to ladle ontop of our rice, not watery at all just simply amazing. We like to rate our Thai food as either "Moist Thai" or "Pad Dry" and this place achieved moist levels of excellence.
Superb experience, will be coming back again and again and again. 👍👍
Amazing tai food but my old frail dad👴👴👴👴👴👴👴👴👴 hates tai food so he didn’t like it but he forgot about that after he had too much ice cream.
I have eaten here over a dozen times. Last night I ordered my usual. They gave me the wrong protein and the rice was so overdone I had to return the meal and ask for my money back. Apparently there is a new owner.☹️
I've been enjoying Nou Thai for nearly two years, and it's incredible! I love peanut sauce, so their Rama Garden is my go-to. All of their appetizers are incredible, and if you're lucky enough to order the mango sweet rice when it's in season, you will be happy you did! When you order online, you'll immediately receive a text and email confirmation. Normally, the text will tell you when your food will be ready. I advise ordering early in a weekend night, as they get very busy!
Update 7/2024: I’ve had Nou Thai twice in the last month and noticed that the food has changed. I asked around and learned that Nou Thai has new ownership, and I’m sad to say that the quality of food has declined. The vegetable spring rolls are soggy, the plum sauce is not as flavorful, and with the main dishes, the ingredients don’t taste as fresh.
First thing walking in you notice how much love was put into the atmosphere alone- it was very surprising how well done it was. The waitress was very attentive and kind and the food came out hot, FAST, and fresh. We tried something new and loved it and can’t wait to be back!
Nou Thai used to be our favorite place for Thai in the area. Got food at least once a month since they opened and have loved it 90% of the time. Recently the menu changed and so did the chef, recipes and/or ingredient quality. We typically get the fried spring rolls (used to include 5 small rolls packed with flavorful veggies, now includes 3 large bland rolls), pad Thai (used to be so flavorful, now bland), pad see ew (used to be flavorful, now has a salty unappetizing flavor) and the most disappointing, the Tom Yum soup (used to be so flavorful and comforting, it’s now bland and off putting). This is a prime example of a restaurant expanding the menu and making their ingredients worse to the detriment of the regulars. Please change the recipes and ingredients back!
The staff and location are amazing, this review is most critical of the new menu.
Very clean and nice place. Food is fantastic. Staff and owener are so nice. Highly recommend.
I don't like giving bad reviews, so make sure you read for full context.
Visited last week and ordered the Masaman Curry. I have a moderately high spice tolerance so I ordered three stars. It came out quickly but I was stunned to find it was extremely salty - saltier than seawater, about like what you would want in a saltwater gargle. Absolutely inedible.
Embarrassed, I brought it up to the counter to return, explaining it was extremely salty. Here's where the 5-star service comes in. The owner was apologetic and perfectly understanding, and immediately offered to have the chef re-make the dish for me. I gratefully accepted, even though I wasn't sure my now-rebellious stomach would welcome ANY food for a while. The replacement came out - and it, too, was inedibly salty. I felt so bad. Here they had made a replacement for me and it was just as awful as the first!
I apologized to the host and explained this, too, was too salty to eat. She offered me something else off the menu and - mostly to be polite, as at that point I wasn't sure if I could eat anything else for a while - I suggested simple chicken Phad Thai, one star of spice. Noodles, I thought. Plain noodles would be safe.
Again, marvelous customer service, perfectly understanding, the hostess was wonderful. She brought the noodles. Now, Phad Thai is one of my favorite dishes and I've eaten it many times in many place. This version was slimy and - oddly - bitter. I tried to get some of it down but soon asked for a takeaway box. Sad to say, I asked for it mostly because I could not ask them to take away yet another dish, not when they had been so understanding. At the same time, I could not eat the Phad Thai either.
I left the restaurant and wandered the nearby park because I didn't want to get back in my car right away. I felt absolutely nauseous, to the point where I almost wanted to just get it over with. That lasted a few hours, then eased.
I truly wanted to like this place. The hostess is a gem, certainly. I hope others have a better experience there than I did.
Omg the food is soooo delicious I got a Thai basil vegetables w/rice and bok choy in a garlic butter sauce one thing I didn’t like was when I ordered my food she asked how spicy do I want it? I said really really spicy and she tells me no she can’t do that. I will give you her number too spicy it’s mild, and she literally brought me food that was not spicy I can handle really hot food. I always order number five spicy when I go to restaurants so that was pretty ugly that she wouldn’t give me spicy other than that everything else was super amazing.

This place is a real gem in the Heart of Olympia. I live in Snoqualmie but will definitely return soon.
So delicious!!! The best service! Will be back!! :)
Great location right next to the park! Lovely to have dinner and then go for a family walk.
Everything is great - clean, well-decorated space, fast and friendly service for takeout orders. The Pad Thai and Massaman curry are so fresh and flavorful, in large servings with plenty of chicken. All high quality ingredients. Two stars of heat was perfect to enhance all the wonderful flavors. Thanks!
First thai place down here that actually makes your food as hot as you request! Delicious, and fairly priced. Service was also great, establishment was clean. We can't wait to try more!
For the first time, it was great! We had a Pad Thai and Curry Massaman with a side of fried tofu. All of it was perfect. Next time when I am not sharing with my wife, I will spice it up. Very good and deep flavor. The rice is different from other Thai restaurants, and it was delicious. A higher grade of flavor. I am looking forward to our next visit. Thank you, May 2024 visit was great with ten of us. We all ordered different dishes, and everyone enjoyed the choice they made. The Tom Yum Soup was a favorite with three orders. I love the Massaman curry. Others were the Pad sew yew and Pad Thai. The staff is always polite. Just ask for options for vegetarian or even gluten-free.
Has to be the best Thai food in the area. I ordered green curry and pad kee mao and both were delicious. Chef’s kiss.
Best Thai restaurant I’ve tried in Washington!
We loved everything about this place!
Went here for lunch was a pretty good
I have a problem with Nou Thai, its so freaking good i can't stop eating it. If you want mediocre thai go somewhere else. They be dropping that love sauce in they cooking pho show. Delicious.
Their ingredients are fresh, and everything is solid. It's just not the most inventive Thai food. For instance Hat Yai's roti/naan and curry dish is one of the most delicious street style Thai dishes I've ever had - with crunchy hot home made roti, where Nou's naan I think is just store bought Indian style naan bread... Their curry is straight forward, not full of depth. Phad Thai is solid, can't go wrong. Green curry is clean, fresh, but lacking in more developed flavors. All that being said their atmosphere is beautiful and nice to eat in, service is always wonderful, and take out is always easy. So when we need a Thai food itch scratched, Nou delivers - and is our default Thai in Olympia.
We’ve been a handful of times and have tried almost all the dishes. They never seem to miss - always so delicious and fresh! I’ve had the best luck with dining in compared to takeout, but either way you can’t go wrong. Not a bad dish on the menu! Tom Yum and Rama Garden are my favorites.
Food was mediocre, a little overpriced and you can certainly get better quality food elsewhere. Portions were small and they charged $1 extra for a few slices of limes even though at most places your Pad Thai comes with lime. Overall, I would say it wasn’t the worst food we’ve had, but probably would not return.
one of the best Thai restaurant in Olympia. Love it
It’s OK, but not that great for the price. Portions are small. $20 for pat sew
The dining experience far exceeded expectations. The server was knowledgeable and really friendly. We are both gluten intolerant and there was so much to choose from that it was a great surprise! The delightful end to the meal was a surprise birthday desert. Highly recommend
Loved this food, more savory then sweet, not greasy, fresh tasting and delish! This place will be a staple for me. The wait staff was friendly and wonderful 👏. Highly recommend.
Just had the same items that I get at my go-to Thai place, unfortunately closed today.
Customer service is good and the location is nice but the food is what I'm here for.
The food did not have that "wok hei" you really like from Asian restaurants (the smoky charred flavor), veggies seemed like they where thrown in at the last moment of cooking, still very raw like a salad. Almost raw broccoli in the fried rice, weird.
At $17 a dish, you expect a little more that stove top Thai food.
5/5 Stars, if you’re thinking of eating here: DO IT! The customer service was great, the food was amazing, and the Thai Tea was INCREDIBLE. (added bonus, but I had some of my meal left over and tried it cold a few hours later and WOW- it was SUPER good!)
They stop seating at 7.40 - even though they close at 8.30. I pleaded with the staff at 7.48 to allow us to sit because we were traveling and had no where to eat the food. An arbritrary cut off. Just say you close when you close. We did take out and ate out curry with a fork in a Chinese to go cup with homeless people around us screaming at top of lungs. Ok food. Never going back.
Yummy
It says it closes at 8:30 but it really closes at 8:00 because they stop serving then. Their food is very good but $4 for a peanut sauce and $3 for rice makes it the most expensive tie in town! Staff not the friendliest...pass!
First time trying this place and what a nice surprise! Very clean and great food and staff. Get 5* if you want spicy…
The food was amazing we had the shrimp fried rice, chicken pad Thai, and the chicken massaman curry with vegetable rolls. We asked for separate plates and we ate all the dishes everything 4 star spice. The food was incredible I will say that they should add more rice of a serving for the massaman curry. But overall our family would definitely be back.
Simple menu of great Thai food staples. Diner atmosphere.
Small but delicious menu. I really enjoyed the street food inspired vibe of the restaurant.
Excellent!!!
Excellent food. But over priced for the quantity
Don’t go here expecting authentic Thai street food, it’s more of a fusion style, but it was nonetheless tasty and the decor is unique. My 5 star pad kee mao was indeed spicy, much appreciated. Wife’s pad gra praw was nothing like what she expected, but they were willing to take it back and replace with the pad see eew. The noodles were perfectly cooked, “taste of wok.” Coconut ice cream also great!
Hands down one of my favorite Thai places. This is one of my go tos when I'm eating out.
Very nice and clean. The food was amazing. I will recommend 100%.🙏
Best thai food in town. A little on the pricey side but worth it.
I love this restaurant but I'm only giving them 4 stars because they just raised their prices for my favorite dish to $16.99. Once you pay tax it ends up being close to $20 for one dish. Also the online menu still quotes the same dish for $12.99. Quite a price jump when you go to pick it up. I'm sorry to say that I won't be going there as frequently as I would like due to the steep price increase :(
the massaman curry was the definition of comfort food. So flavorful and a generous portion!
Love Thai food
Great food and service! Love the online order option and the person who works front of house is always friendly, welcoming, and communicates status of your order well. Food is amazing!
Best Thai food in Olympia! We usually order chicken pad thai and the rama garden. The chicken pad thai has a distinct smoky flavor and the chicken is always cooked to perfection. The peanut sauce in the rama garden is the best I've had! I highly reccomend Nou Thai!
Good food here and quick service! Gluten friendly options (my wife is celiac). The pad thai is some of the best we've had and we eat it a lot! Just seemed a bit pricy since it was almost $50 for the two of us
I had the Green Curry and it was so delicious! The veggies fresh and hand cut, all made from scratch. I can’t wait to try rest of menu. The wait person was efficient and the chef professional. I was there at 4pm. In September will bring a med. to lg. group. I’ll let you know as soon as I have the numbers. But I’ll be back sooner. Thank You 🙏
Ordered Pad Kee Mao, and an hour and a half later they had not started cooking it. I had to leave, so asked for a refund. They didn’t offer a food voucher or any apologies or explanation for the extreme delay. Will not be returning.
Service was fast and friendly. Food is great. First time in Olympia and picked this place on a whim. No regrets, fire meal.
The food was amazing and the staff incredibly friendly. We have been looking for good Thai food for a while and finally found it!
I finally made it in while they were open, and man am I glad I did. I had the Tom Yum, their specialty, with shrimp. It was so bright and flavorful and perfectly spiced for me at 3 stars. I couldn’t recommend it highly enough.
The loudish pop music didn’t really let you convince yourself you’re eating street food in Thailand, but the flavor and the attentive service were great. I’ll be back.
I love the food here. It reminds me of Thailand.
I got pad see ew and spring rolls for take out and it was amazing! If I lived closer this would be my go-to take-out spot.
Excellent Thai food! Really good spice and flavor, fresh, and great portions. Would highly recommend if passing through Olympia.
Super clean and cute decor inside. Not many customers. Food was very good!
Honestly one of the best Thai places I’ve been to. And very accommodating to vegans!
Pros: clean, fast, great customer service. Vegetables were absolutely perfectly crisp
Cons: really left wanting the flavor. Ordered green curry and it didn’t have almost any of the signature flavor of the dish. Where’s the notes of Basil or lime leaf or ginger or lemon grass or anything that makes the dish feel like green curry? It was really flavorless and I was left with eating exceptionally cooked vegetables with essentially just coconut milk. The peanut sauce dish was good albeit extremely sweet. The rice noodle dish was by far the most flavorful. I’ll definitely give this restaurant another go- but had some dull moments flavor wise on our initial visit.
The first time we ordered food it was amazing. A month later it wasn’t worth the price. $48 for curry, pad Thai and pot stickers but the food had minimal amounts of chicken. Flavors were still good just no chicken.
The best Thai food I've had in Olympia. The spices were well balanced, and delicious. The prices were fair. The atmosphere was welcoming, and made the experience great. Will absolutely come here again!
Always a really nice atmosphere in there. The staff are always nice and the food's pretty good. However I would recommend if you get the curry ask for it to be a little bit spicier than they offer.
Thai Street Food!
We love their food.
Food was good, but the service seemed novice.
Great Thai in nice setting. Well worth the drive from Montesano.
Great food, great service and a fun decor. Very clean and fun environment.
Quick service, great food, good atmosphere. Not much more you could want.
Stopped by on the way home. Got the pad Thai with curry sauce. The curry sauce is amazing! Overall really nice. Good food and ambience. Bill was very hospitable and made sure I was taken care of. If in Olympia, make sure you stop by for some good eats.
Tonight I was really craving Thai food. Thai Pavilion, which is my favorite, was closed, so I saw this place had a 4.7 and decided to give it a try for takeout. I ordered the Pad Kee-Mow with 2 stars/spice.
I must say the food was pretty good, vegetables cooked just about right; a little crunch left to the bell peppers but not raw at all. The dish was not too oily and I could taste the spices pretty well. It was distinguishable as a Thai dish, in other words authentic enough to please my Thai food craving. Also the cashier greeted me in a friendly tone and it seems like their staff are personable.
However, 😕 the portion size was small. For about the same price and quality, I could get about twice as much food at Thai Pavilion for takeout.
So bottom line, pretty good food, but probably too expensive for me to go again anytime soon.
Tried to call in an order, a woman picked up the phone and said one moment please. She proceeded to set the phone on the counter, not actually putting me on hold. And I sat on the line listening to her talk to her co worker for 4 and a half minutes. I’ll never know if the food was good because I couldn’t even place an order. Is it fair to say bad service if I never got service at all?
AMAZING FOOD!!!
Best Thai in the nine realms, let alone Oly!
Nou Thai is one of the better Thai restaurants I’ve tried in Olympia. Their chic and modern interior and paired down menu is definitely a departure from what many of us are used to: the strip mall Thai restaurants with tacky interiors that haven’t been renovated since the 90s and the same exact menu with red, green, panang, and yellow curry. Nou Thai is not that. Their menu is small and focused, allowing for expertise in each of their dishes. The massaman curry is delicious: a rich mix of peanuts, coconut, and spices. The Pad Thai had perfectly springy noodles, a good amount of veggies and protein, and a sweet and sour sauce fortified by tamarind (not ketchup like some places use). Everything was fresh, delicious, and exciting. The service was attentive and pleasant, if a bit slow due to a brisk takeout business. Their dining room felt a bit awkward due to the lack of background music. Not a big deal, but it might help make the experience even friendlier. But the food is enough in and of itself to return for, again and again. I’ll be back with high hopes for the rest of the menu!
Good food at good price. No atmosphere.
Stopped here on the way home from the coast, really tasty food and nice staff. Highly recommend
I liked the green curry but I wouldn't get fried rice there again. My spicy level of the foods were all number 4 (out of 5) but none of them was spicy. There were so many scary looking red peppers but they didn't make the food spicy. Their service was great and the restaurant is very clean and new. If I go back to the restaurant, I would only get green curry. I had green curry, fried rice, tom yum, and pat kee yoo(?).
Definitely the best Thai food in the area. I haven't ate at more Thai restaurants than I can even count, and this food is true Thai food, not the westernized version. The Mussaman curry is a must have. Hard to find and absolutely the best I've had.
We’ve been here a couple times in the past year and this place has never disappointed. Actually quite the opposite, they far exceed expectations and come close to some of the best Thai we’ve had. We’ve ordered almost everything off their small menu but their pad kee now/drunken noodles, Massaman curry, pad Thai and Tom Yum soup (with coconut milk) are just stellar. Not too spicy by default and they could amp up the heat for those that seek that spiciness from Thai food.
Something about the high heat of the wok that imparts a unique smokiness to the stir frys… they even had cold & fresh coconut water yesterday to help beat the heat - super refreshing! And, their mango with sticky rice was a sweet way to end the meal…with the mango not too tart.
We typically order to go and eat at the benches in the park across the street overlooking the State Capitol building. This is now a must-eat-at place when we’re traveling down south from Seattle to Oregon.
This is my favorite Thai spot in the Olympia area. The food is great, the staff is friendly, and I like the atmosphere here. My favorite is the green curry and my wife loves the pad thai.
Delightful! Looking forward to coming back again! Food is currently take out only with a couple small tables out front.
Beautiful lil restaurant located close to Capitol lake across from Oyster house & behind the water park. Only gave 4 stars as my 10 min order I was quoted took 20 min otherwise it was amazing. Kind staff, beautiful restaurant & I'm very excited to try them again.
So good. Thanks Ted!
Yum yum yum — this place’s food is awesome, we stopped coming through on a camping trip. Tasty vegan options. Organic coconut water was very refreshing. Love the clean decor — was absolutely spotless! Thanks for your amazing commitment to quality — I hope lots more people check this place out!
I had the Pad Kee Mow and the Ka-Prow. Both were delicious! I'd definitely go back again!
Pretty bland. Not much flavor. Very clean though.
Had high expectations because of the high rating, but the food wasn't very authentic and lacks the complex flavor that I love in Thai Food. Got the 4/5 spicy level for my Pad Kee Mao but the spice level was pretty weak. And the Pad See Ew was too sweet for my taste. As that said, I really like their fried tofu though!
Went in at 8pm on a Saturday night. They said they were closed. First of all, 8pm is a ridiuclous time to close a restaurant on a weekend night, but that wasn't the issue.
The issue we had was rudeness. We asked to be seated and they said they were closed...rudely. Then we asked if they could just make us some food to go...nope, rudely.
Excited for a new Thai place in Olympia, but terrible first impression.
Truly the best Thai food I've had since COVID. Actually spicy, big portions, and super satisfying. This place is an absolute gem. Please eat here so they survive the pandemic!
Love the Pad Thai witb chicken, missing the bean sprouts.
Love the mango coconut rice.
Saw this while heading home after errands. Sign said Thai street food and I LOVE Thai food. Thai street food!! Sounded super promote. As people have said, they have a limited menu. Not a lot to choose from. I chose pad Thai and wife had the cashew chicken entree. Portions were small compared to most Thai restaurants and food was rather bland. My pad Thai did not come with a wedge of lime, it was a little dry and lacking flavor. While there where bean sprouts and peanuts in the dish, it was minimal and added while cooking. No fresh sprouts, no peanuts on top. My wife's cashew chicken was the same, small portion and underwhelming. Also, got home and realized they forgot the rice, had to run back for the rice. In addition, we ordered the deep fried egg rolls, they were edible but undercooked. Insides of egg rolls were mushy and could have used a few more minutes in the fryer.
Pros - the website, online menu and ordering process was butter smooth. The restaurants was clean and had a great ambiance. Receptionist was super friendly.
Overall, it reminded me of what Thai food would look and taste like if you ordered it at an airport....in Missouri. It's definitely not Thai Street food.
Went here for the first time today and absolutely loved the food! Will definitely be back for more!
Some of my favorite Pad See Ew made in Olympia is from here! Cute little place and will be going back.
This place is amazing! Can’t wait to try more items in the future. I ordered the pad Thai and pad see ew. Both were very delicious
We ordered takeout from Nou Thai for the first time last night, and it was very fresh and delicious. The staff was super friendly, and the restaurant was clean and welcoming. COVID19 precautions are taken seriously here. I predict this will be our new favorite Thai restaurant. Try it, you deserve it, and they deserve your support.
Little bit pricey for the portion sizes, but the flavor makes up for it. We got their pad se-ew, and it was incredible.
Nou Thai is our favorite restaurant for Thai food in Olympia. The online ordering app works great, and the staff is always so friendly. The Pad Kee-Mow and Massaman Curry are our go-to dishes, but round up to a level 5 heat if you like it spicy!
Perfect meal! Vegan cashew stir fry with tofu was divine! Took less than 10 minutes, food was delicious & the level 4 heat was exactly what I hoped for! Definitely going back.
I visited this place for the first time based purely on the star rating, something I usually don't do. Not again. I realize this place has high reviews so it clearly fits the bill for a lot of people, just not for me. The quality and flavor does not match the price. The front counter staff was really friendly, which is why I gave this 2 stars. I got the chicken Pad Thai as it is an all time favorite. This restaurants version was dry, severely lacking flavor, and there was just something off tasting about the chicken. I don't know if it was a pre-cooked/frozen type protein or...what...and there was a non-existent amount of this, odd chicken, in the meal. In this instance I was OK with that due to the...odd flavor of the chicken...but in a standard sense it would be lacking in protein. The heat...I ordered 5 on my heat...I should have ordered 10 because 5 didnt even leave a hint of heat in my mouth. Overall, very disappointed to spend 30 bucks to have a very subpar meal for one ( one app, one meal, 20% tip)
Great fresh food.
This food is really amazing, I love
