Very good Thai food

Diner Review №2

Very good food, amazing staff.

Diner Review №3

The Tom kha soup is just DELICIOUS. This place is such a gem of our neighborhood <3

Diner Review №4

My favorite neighborhood Thai spot in Tacoma. This place deserves a lot more attention than it gets. Reasonable prices, friendly staff, and good food. Highly recommend the panang or red curry.

Diner Review №5

My company has ordered from this establishment for office lunches and it is such a great experience. The staff is incredibly nice and considerate and the food is probably the best Thai food I’ve had in a long time is ever. This will be my go-to for Thai food orders going forward for my company and for my personal life.

Diner Review №7

Worst Thai I’ve ever had. Pad Thai was lukewarm at best, and very tasteless. Gyoza’s weren’t any better.
About a teaspoon full of dipping sauce for six pieces. I won’t go back.

Diner Review №8

Delicious with large servings

Diner Review №9

Best Pad Thai I have had. Very tasty!

Diner Review №12

The meat they used for beef fried rice looks like it’s going bad and there was a hair in it.

Diner Review №13

I did not finish my pad Thai. Tasted like barbecue sauce. Having Thai friends that cooked me the real thing, this is far from the real thing.

Diner Review №14

Been here for a couple of times now, tried their pad thai and pad see ew and they did not disappoint! Taste is balanced and delicious. Their thai iced tea is so good too! They are a small business in the stadium district area but they serve good food! Must try 😁

Diner Review №15

Fast, friendly, and delicious. Some of the best curries in Tacoma.

Diner Review №16

Diner Review №17

Ordered the Phad Thai. Chicken was over cooked. No flavor at all. No peanuts. No lime. No sprouts. Just noodles and three or four pieces of chicken. So freaking disappointing. I knew I shouldn’t have ordered from here.

Diner Review №18

Diner Review №19

A really great little spot for takeout. Perfect sized portions (not huge), priced appropriately, and the food is really good.

Diner Review №20

We recently used Stadium Thai to place an order for an office luncheon for about 25 people. I know for small businesses large orders can be difficult due to daily orders at peak time. Stadium Thai did an absolutely amazing job. They were extremely friendly and accommodating. They had our order ready in time for the lunch time pick up and it was definitely made fresh. Everything we had was delicious. Our office enjoyed Pad See Ew, Panang Curry, House Basil Fried Rice, Bangkok Basil and assorted appetizers. On top of that the cost was very reasonable. We are so happy we found this gem. Thank you so much for assistance with ordering, easy experience, and tasty food.

Diner Review №23

The BEST Pad Thai!!! And quick service!

Diner Review №24

Excellent food for the money, great flavors.

This is a hole in the wall place that has a focus on take out, and it shows. Very few seats and you will be served in take out containers.

Knowing that, and adjusting expectations accordingly, this is a great little restaurant.

Generous portions and did I mention good flavors? The red curry chicken is my goto, and it never disappoints.

One other note, parking is Spartan.

Diner Review №25

One of the best chicken Laab Salad outside of Thailand! No fish sauce (allergy) for me. Super flavorful. And they nailed the spice level - Thai spicy #5+. Perfect blend of herbs, lime and chicken. My new craving!

Diner Review №26

Quick and delicious food. It’s best for takeout as the space is small and there’s no AC. People are great.

Diner Review №27

The Fresh Springs Rolls are so good and fresh. I love the peanut sauce also.

Diner Review №28

Looked like a great place to eat but unfortunately it wasn’t. The food was not good and they served us in to-go boxes even though we were dining in. The pad Thai was drowned in sauce and the noodles were not cooked all the way. The pad see ew was dry. Also, the Thai tea was all ice and not much tea. I wouldn’t recommend but maybe you might have better luck.

Delicious food made by kind people

Diner Review №34

Diner Review №35

Good food. Convenient if you live close by,..no parking available if you drive here. You will have to park and walk through the neighborhood or along Wright Park.

Diner Review №36

This is a small restaurant offering authentic Thai food in a casual setting. They offer dine-in, take out, and delivery through Grub Hub and Uber Eats. I had the Noodle Rama, and it was quite good. The portion size was also good. Overall, a good experience. I will order there again.

Diner Review №37

Great customer service. Love the pad Tai!

Diner Review №38

Today I visited for the first time since moving here 7 months ago and was greeted by a very nice lady behind the counter. I had the yellow curry with tofu, no spice, and it was SO GOOD I had to take the leftover broth home. I cannot wait to go again next week and try more things!

Capacity says 22 people and I was 1 of 2 people dining in. People were constantly going in an out to pick up their pick up orders. This is definitely a hot spot!

Diner Review №39

Diner Review №40

I've been to many different Asian cuisine restaurants, in most they will sacrifice the authenticity of flavor to cater to American taste buds or to cut costs. This is NOT one of those places. Every item has the full flavor of authentic Thai food, even the specialty beverages such as Thai iced coffee are strong and have the full flavor as they should be, the peanut sauce is made in house and is delightful. The sweet and sour sauce is also made in house and tastes like no other. If you like authentic fresh Thai food, with amazing customer service this is the place to go.

Diner Review №41

Best Pad Thai I’ve had in years and the iced coffee is very strong! Authentic local Thai family owned restaurant. 100% will be returning.

Diner Review №42

Nice family owned place. Great food and great atmosphere. Recommend to everyone.

Diner Review №43

We got takeout. The food was excellent, we asked for medium spice and that’s exactly what we got. Our new favorite Thai place in town!

Diner Review №44

Diner Review №45

FOOD POISONING WARNING! Ordered the pork Phad Thai, chicken Phad Thai, drunken noodles n crab wontons for myself and 2 friends. The two of us who got Phad Thai have stomach cramping and diarrhea. I had the pork and I’ve also been vomiting on top of the digestive pain. NEVER AGAIN

I want to add that I called to notify them of the food poisoning and the manager attempted to talk me out of knowing that it was food poisoning. Asking if I’d ever had Thai food before, if I’d ever had Phad Thai and attempted to blame the symptoms on the spices that are used for the dish. I quickly shut her down but at no point did they take responsibility or apologize. Also I found out that they had two health violation reports about food storage and food temperatures in Dec’22 and Jan ‘23

Diner Review №46

I couldn't ask for more from a neighborhood Thai restaurant! They do a nice job on the standards, are friendly, play a strong takeout game, and are well-located by the park.

Diner Review №47

The Pad Kee Moa was great.

Diner Review №48

Good local business

Diner Review №49

Terrible. Pad thai was mushy with overcooked dry chicken and rubbery shrimp. This is not the place.

Diner Review №50

Food is exceptionally amazing!!! I got the garlic chicken stir Frye. It came in a large bowl with rice I a separate dish and all the veggies and chicken were still cooking in this amazing slightly spicy sauce. It was seriously delicious 😋

Diner Review №51

Air conditioning was not working, but we still really enjoyed our meal. Smiley, friendly service.

Diner Review №52

Very good food and the service.

Diner Review №53

Great food no wait time all.

Diner Review №54

I always go here because I have therapy nearby, lovely spot, good place for a quick delicious bite, parking can give you slight anxiety but food is well worth it!

Diner Review №55

Amazing! Great lunch specials, phenomenal phad thai. The phad phed super spice is my personal favorite. Owner and staff are super friendly and great.

Diner Review №56

Their rice is delicious and they always give a great serving of meat in it

Diner Review №57

Diner Review №58

Pad Thai is so yummy! Ask for spicier than you normally would. Their 3 of 5 stars is mild in my opinion.

Diner Review №59

Worst pad thai, I've ever ate tasted like under cooked chicken slime. I hope i don't get sick. Seriously thinking about putting my Fingers down my throat to throw it up.

Diner Review №60

You know the food is good if you see the old Asian lady making the food!

Diner Review №61

Very tasty, quickly prepared, large portion, fair price, nice people.

Diner Review №62

A bit cold in there (both temp and atmosphere), but the food was very good and the server lady was super nice as well. The tofu in my pad see ew was perfect!

Diner Review №63

Food was great. Family feast is a bargain compared to dining out for 3 people. (You get plenty of crispy spring rolls we expected two) Only concern is parking. Matcha Latte is highly recommended. Unfortunately it's premade and cant opt for fake sugar for those washing sugar intake.

Diner Review №64

Diner Review №65

Super nice staff. Top notch pad see ew and they were very generous with the amount of meat. Parking is awful but not the restaurants fault, try to walk there if you can

Diner Review №66

I've tried this place 3 times now trying to give them the benefit of the doubt. Very disappointing, once more. Asked them to make my curry thicker than a runny soup, and this was ignored. I asked for the carrots in my curry, this was ignored.

Avoid this place!!!!

Diner Review №67

This is not just a hole in the wall place. From the moment you walk in you are greeted with a smile. The service is great and the food is better. They will customize any order to your liking. I suggest you try this place for any time you feel hungry. Will keep going back here.

Diner Review №68

Excellent food, good prices, very nice staff and lovely view of the park from the dining room. Will be coming back!

Diner Review №69

Stadium Thai is AMAZING!!
My dear friend T brought me there for the first time over a year ago.
I crave this place.
Best Pad Thai, which honestly most places are just boring.
My favorite is the Som Tam salad- truly a gorgeous salad!
Tom Kha is epic!
I haven't tried everything yet, but plan too.
The owners are lovely people.
You feel like you are home.

Diner Review №72

Pham Thai was really lacking any flavor. It was not worth the (*Most Popular) rating on the menu. Clean place and friendly but the spring rolls were the highlight of the meal!

Diner Review №73

Got Pad Thai and asked for 5 stars of spice. The lady laughed at me. The food was maybe 3 stars, so make sure to ask for at least 7 stars. Other than that the food was good.

Diner Review №74

The best Thai restaurant inTacoma.

Diner Review №75

Thao chicken rice soup is awesome.

Diner Review №76

Phad Thai was very good, a saucy and savory style. Larb was fresh and spicing was spot on!
Service was great and the view of the park was beautiful across the street.

Diner Review №77

Pad Thai was flavorless and bland. The chicken was dry and had no seasoning. The potstickers were dry. Quick service during lunch time though, hence the 3, stars

Diner Review №78

Very tasty and enjoyed by the whole family. Small snafu with the order but they fixed it right away and it was no problem. Their crab wontons are delicious. The pad thai was first rate. good balance of the savory with a spice kick. Will be ordering again.

Diner Review №79

Was very disappointed after they finally opened, was really looking forward to having a Thai joint within a few minutes walk. Alas, their food is pretty mediocre and fairly expensive. Went there twice and ordered different items both times, neither were appealing enough to warrant a third trip.

Diner Review №80

Some of the best pad see ew in Tacoma! Such fresh ingredients. Must try this place. One of my new favorites. Alicia is lovely too.

Diner Review №81

Flavor, meh. It would also be nice if they didn't drop plastic forks on the floor and put them back in the box they came from. There are a lot better places in Tacoma to get "Thai" food.

Diner Review №82

One of my favorite local Thai places to go to. Feels more authentic and so tasty! I would post a picture but I ate it all. Mmmmm

Diner Review №83

Really enjoyed our first time in! Great flavors and service. Will return!

Diner Review №84

One of the best type foods I’ve had in a long time. The flavors were amazing. You could tell a lot of love is put into all their dishes.

Diner Review №85

I've eaten here 2x so far and will continue to come back as long as they are operational :) great customer service. Both times I've been here, I've ordered the same thing. Chicken Yellow Curry level 3 heat and shrimp pad thai level heat and spring rolls with a BIG box of rice. I came one day towards the end of them closing for the day and they continued to take orders. They were so busy that they didn't want to turn anyone away and say "sorry we are closed". This is all happened on a day they were down an employee due to the employee having a medical emergency inside the store. Most places would have closed for the day but these owners and employees love what they do and love the surrounding community so much that they continued to work. That says a lot!

This place has my business forever. Please don't ever leave or change owners. The food here is amazing. I've only been able to find ONE place that has amazing Thai food and it was in Kent East Hill but it closed due to Covid lack of business(?). This little hole in the wall is a Gem! The best Authentic Thai food you're gonna find in Tacoma! HANDS DOWN!

They have amazing portions and greatly priced. I think level 3 heat is perfect for ppl who want some spicy heat but not toooo hot. Level 3 has a good kick to it. I love spicy foods but I think anything higher than Level 3 use caution LOL

ONLY complaint I've had is the 1st time I went here my spring rolls were cold in the middle. Not ice rock cold but definitely cold and needing to be cooked longer. I would have said something but I was wearing my emergency uniform and I don't like "complaining" (for a lack of better word) while I'm in uniform, I feel it makes us look very unprofessional and the perception is that "we're" entitled. So I just ate the spring rolls. I will say the second time I came around and had the spring rolls again they were cooked perfectly hot and delicious!

Don't pass on this place! It's busy and well worth the wait!

Diner Review №86

What a Delicious Phad Thai! 🥰 The Grandma's Specials are where it's at though! And Tom Kha Coconut Galanga Soup! My daughter loves this! The Restaurant was so Clean and The Owner is the Head Mamma Chef!❤️ She is So Generous and Caring and Attentive to her Guests. Food Made from the Heart. We are so blessed to have this delicious affordable food here in the Stadium District! 🧡🌈 Can't wait to Dine in Again Soon. They Close at 7 :30 pm so we have to order early even in these late Summer Nights. But I don't want to cook on a Hot Summer Night so it's Perfect we get our Dinner from this Amazing Restaurant! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐💙

Visited with my Thai business partner. We loved every bite. Large and delicious portions.

Diner Review №90

Diner Review №91

Stadium Thai truly deserves the title of best fried rice in Tacoma.
The food is extremely delicious every single time, you get a lot for your dollar, and the lady who usually works the register is one of the nicest people I've met, she's even memorized all our orders.
I hope this place stays open my entire life, because I'll keep coming back as long as it's open.

Diner Review №92

I put in a to go order and it was ready and hot off the stove top when I got there. Pricing is reasonable for the portion sizes. We ordered pad see ew and phad thai both with chicken and 2 stars. Would probably get one more star next time. Service was phenomenal and care goes into each order. Also the phad thai didn't have the weird red color that a lot of places will have around here. Would recommend eating here again.

Diner Review №93

Wonderfully friendly staff and great Thai food.

Diner Review №94

I ordered red curry which I had from here several months ago. They told me it was a 25 minute wait which was fine except it ended up taking 50 minutes. The curry was straight up soup and had almost no chicken or vegetables. I don’t know what happened to this place in the last couple months, perhaps they have gotten too many customers to properly support. It’s one thing to take an extra 20 minutes of my time but to then give me an inferior product was the line too far. Avoid at busy at times, it might still be good during off hours but I won’t be finding out.

Diner Review №95

"Lost" my order and refused to give a refund because the lady claimed she "didn't know how to use the computer". We waited over 40 mins and they asked what our order was nonlews than 5 times.

Diner Review №96

Simple yet delicious dishes in a very simple yet convenient location. Great flavor, very fast and courteous service.

Diner Review №97

This was my first visit to Stadium Thai. Ordering was a bit disorganized. I ordered the Phad Thai, because it was my first visit and I feel the best way to gauge the quality of the cuisine is ordering a well-known and popular dish. I can tell right away that it was not authentic. The sauce was a ketchup based sauce and it honestly tasted more like ketchup on rice noodles than tamarind or any other flavor profiles that are typically in this dish. It was missing key flavors that makes the dish famous and delicious for what it is. When I asked if there was ketchup in the sauce, the owner confirmed that there was “some”. Visually, it was very red and tasted entirely like ketchup. It also had a single green bell pepper slice…Which I’m guessing that was a mistake lol. When I was asked how spicy I wanted my dish, I asked if they used thai chilis (Birds Eye Chili) to spice the dish and the owner said “yes”. I told her my spice level. When I tasted it, there was no spice. She instead gave me dried red pepper flakes. Which isn’t the same as Thai Chili’s. I’ve honestly been to all of the thai restaurants in thai area and can say that this area isn’t the best with authentic thai food, however, Stadium Thai has got to be the worst based on how lackluster and underwhelming the phad thai was. It was just ketchup and noodles. Super basic and a juvenile way of making phad thai. Sorry to say, but it’s true.

Diner Review №98

Worst Pad Thai I've ever had. It is like some generic frozen food section meal. Disgusting

Diner Review №99

Delicious food and friendly staff. Everything we’ve tried is tasty: pad Thai, pad se ew, pads ke mao (drunken noodle), pineapple fried rice, pad kra pow (GE4). Good portion size. Good flavor even without spice.

Diner Review №100

Best Thai food in Tacoma!!!!

Diner Review №101

Red curry trastes like heaven

Diner Review №102

I literally just moved here from NY and have kind of made it a point to try almost every Thai place in the city. Leaving NY I was honestly heartbroken that I wasn't going to find a Thai place that I'd love. I literally saw this place on my way to stadium thiftway and it completely knocked every other restaurant I've been to off the playing field. It's seriously the best. I'm honestly writing this because I pulled up the menu in hopes of convincing my sweetheart to get me more Thai food!!

Diner Review №103

Diner Review №104

The food is fantastic + amazingly quick service + vegetarian options for most dishes.
The pineapple fried rice is so good; they put a curry sauce in it that gives it a unique flavor. The pad see ew (drunken noodle) is also a favorite of our’s and all the curry types we’ve tried have been very flavorful. Thinner curry sauce than other places but I suspect this is more authentic and it goes great with rice. Overall we are so happy this place is right down the street for a convenient no frills breakfast(!), lunch or dinner!

We came for breakfast this morning. I ordered the chicken curry sandwich and my spouse ordered one of the grandma's specials. We both got coffees (hot plain coffee for me and an iced Thai coffee for my spouse). Coffee was the perfect amount and my sandwich was exactly the right amount of food. My spouse had leftover chicken (so I got to grab a nibble). The food was made fresh to order, quick, and very reasonably priced considering how delicious it was. There was no wait when we got there, which probably helped us get our food so fast.

Now to talk about how delicious it was - seasoned perfectly, spicy, flavorful, fresh veggies and pickles. I'm not lying when I say my mouth is actually watering as I write this review.

I received the recommendation from the baristas at Bluebeard's coffee when I was lamenting how busy my other favorite Thai place gets. 10/10 I will be back and I will bring friends

Diner Review №108

I ordered from Uber today and is this normal? I thought they going to pour full. It’s 16 oz isn’t it?

Diner Review №109

Kuay Taew Kua kai is fantastic dish

Diner Review №110

Love this place - hidden gem. Great food for a great price. The owner is a treat. Take the opportunity to chat.

Diner Review №111

I got blown away by their Panang Curry! Definitely a must try! My sister who is not a fan of Thai Coffee was converted too. Their pad thai was equally good. :)

Diner Review №112

the food is PERFECT, very fresh !! my new favorite thai spot! workers are so friendly and great service!

Diner Review №113

We thoroughly enjoyed the Wonton Soup, and the Drunken Noodles (sorry, don’t recall the Thai name). Loved the tender, flavorful chicken and veggies cooked to perfection. Cannot wait to go back, maybe tonight. The crispy spring rolls were excellent, too. Welcome to Tacoma, Stadium Thai!

Diner Review №114

Great flavor. Wasn't big on the eggplant. And they have no beverages when you dine-in.

Diner Review №115

Tiny portion with barely any meat. Not worth the price. First time ordering and will not be back. Much better options available

Diner Review №118

Delicious, fast, friendly

Diner Review №119

Best Thai food in downtown Tacoma imo. Very flavorful!

Diner Review №120

Absurd take-out experience! Lost my money with no refund.

The restaurant closed randomly on a Thursday (despite their listed hours on Google and Facebook as being open), and they did not update their closure status online until after the order was already placed by me on DoorDash.

I went to the restaurant for pickup, noticed that the store was closed but both of the ladies were still in there. I motioned to them through the glass that I was there for a pick up and flashed my online order with my phone, and they kept trying to shoo me away. One of them made the "crazy" symbol at me for asking to talk to them, but they refused to open the door.

One finally came up to me and I asked her to please cancel my order that they accepted and refund me. The order didn't get cancelled, and there's no refund. I tried calling their number too as a last attempt and they simply ignored the phone call.

Worst treatment I've ever received at a restaurant--no attempt to reconcile or make it right. There are a dozen or so great Thai options in Tacoma--hard pass on this one.

Diner Review №121

Had the pad khee maow w/ a side dish of sticky rice delivered via GrubHub, it was really fresh & arrived quickly. Really fresh authentic Thai food, always welcome in any city!!!

Diner Review №122

Great authentic Thai Food! Got the drunken noodle with fresh spring roles (salad roles on the menu) with peanut sauce. Really enjoyed it and their peanut sauce was creamy and flavorful! No MSG with Gluten Free Options. Will go again!

Diner Review №123

Excellent food, true Thai food prepared by Thai chef and cooks.

Diner Review №124

I had Stadium Thai's House Spicy Pork Sandwich. It was delicious, with cilantro, julienne carrots, onion, and just the right spiciness. The restaurant was cozy, in a cool neighborhood with a great view of the park. Friendly service and super clean. I'll be eating here more often.

Diner Review №125

This place is under new ownership. The food is super good. The place is clean and spotless unlike the old Burger Bar. The staff is really nice. Their Curry Coconut dishes are delicious. Try them all, I can't wait to go back. This is going to be one of my "go to" places to eat. They also do take out.

Diner Review №126

Stadium Thai is a welcome addition to North End dining options. The service is quick and the portions are generous. Takeout is your best bet since table seating is pretty spartan. The phad thai was good, the green curry was thin (more like coconut soup). The spicing is fairly mild...3 stars is average. Order 5 stars if you want some heat. Parking is tight (bring your small car if you can🙂).

Diner Review №127

Had the Pad See EW, Yellow Curry and Chicken Pad Thai. It was ready in less than 15 minutes and delicious. Perfect little take out place in Stadium.

Diner Review №128

Nice locally owned spot serving up delicious Thai food. I’ve called in to-go orders a couple of times and have always been very happy with my meal. In addition to serving up great food, the staff are incredibly kind and welcoming. Can’t recommend this place enough!

Diner Review №129

I went here once to try it and I keep going back! Really good food. I have had the pad Thai and pad see ew and hope to try more items on the menu. They are always friendly and prepare the food fast.

Diner Review №130

Wasn't the peanut chicken I'm used to but very tasty!

Diner Review №131

Great flavor! Glad to have this place nearby. And the staff is extremely friendly and warm.

Diner Review №132

so happy to have a thai place close by in stadium district. staff was so nice and the food was excellent. we got the bangkok basil and the house garlic, absolutely recommend both. looking forward to returning!

Diner Review №133

I had Pad Thai (chicken) and another dish that I forgot the name of. 3star spice 🔥 wasn't too spicy but that is because I love spicy food. The meal was hearty and very filling. Staff was so kind and generous. I recommend this to all locals and travelers 🤍

Diner Review №134

I have only been here once so far but the Pad Thai and the Yellow Curry is so good. Super friendly service. Will absolutely be coming back!

Diner Review №135

Decent Thai food if in the area. I was welcomed by two very kind women at the counter. The service was fast and friendly. Ordered Pad See Ew and House Crab Wonton. The Pad See Ew was well seasoned. The Crab Wonton had an overpowered imitation crab flavor, but was decent overall.

Diner Review №136

The food is good here, and the people are nice good service.

Diner Review №137

Diner Review №138

Absolutely delicious! Good portion sizes for a good price and really good flavor! We will most definitely be returning frequently!

Diner Review №139

Very good! I got Pad Thai and Curry, both very delicious. Food came fast, and they do not skip out on spice. Would recommend it to a friend (already have)

Diner Review №140

Really good food and drinks, very friendly owners 😋

Diner Review №141

Diner Review №142

I'm going to give it a second chance, but I wasn't blown away. I received a small portion of rice with a smaller portion of gristly chicken. And I suspect the entire dish was prepared in advance and microwaved when I ordered it. The sauce was tasty at least. The service was wonderful, so they'll get another try soon. I'll definitely order a different dish though.

Diner Review №143

Recommend the pad Thai and green curry. Great food, great staff, and great service.

Stadium Thai, Stadium District, Tacoma WA

Located in an old burger joint just off Division and I, and across the street from Wright Park is the new Stadium Thai. It took a while after the previous occupant of this space closed (ie: Covid hit), but this new addition to the local selection of eateries is definitely welcome!  The space is small, but the flavours and offerings are big and the heat is whatever you prefer from one to five stars.

Since it was a beautiful day, and Stadium Thai is just across the street from Wright Park, we opted for take out. We started with the Prawn Salad Rolls which were nicely chilled and refreshing with crisp greens, noodles and plump prawns wrapped tightly in translucent deliciousness and accompanied with rich peanut dipping sauce. In addition we ordered a traditional Chicken Phad Thai (2 star) which was abundant in flavour with a fair amount of moist tender chicken breast and noodles prepared to the right density including egg, green onion and bean sprouts. Two star seasoning is actually on the mild side where three would probably bring out more of the Thai seasonings used. Only thing missing, which was probably more of an oversight, would have been a slice of lime. Lime is nice as it cuts some of the oils used in frying and any slight congeling when having sat during the take out journey.  In addition we ordered the Phad See Ew which is a fat rice noodle, broccoli, stir fry sauce, egg and in our case more chicken. This too was ordered as two stars, but unlike the Phad Thai, whis dish also incorporates white pepper so even as two stars it had a bit of a kick! Needless to say it was still cooked to perfection with the noodles having reached that perfect density and coated in a tasty and flavourful sauce.

These three items barely scratched the surface of the array of authentic Thai offerings this small establishment offers (counting 55 plus), in addition to a Thai breakfast selection which is available until 11am most days noting they open at 8am. Thai breakfast is definitely a unique offering and a sure rarity outside of Thailand and expat communities outside of Thailand. Items sounded delicious with  breakfast sandwiches with a choice of chicken curry or marinated pork, with fresh veggies and herbs tucked onto a crunchy french style roll. Other items are egg based along with congee or rice style soups that when made with fresh Thai ingredients seem awfully inviting.  The business is family owned and operated and being greeted by a smiling and gregarious owner who is so proud of their food heritage definitely makes this spot worth numerous re-visits.

Diner Review №146

Brand new place. Very tasty food and the owner is very nice. Great addition to the neighborhood!

So excited to see a new Thai spot open up in the neighborhood. The staff were so nice and welcoming, and The food was fresh and so delicious. This place might just be my new favorite place for Thai food. Give them a try!

Diner Review №151

Food was fresh, delicious with perfectly balanced flavors. Photos in the takeaway containers don’t do the dishes justice, but uploading them anyway. Excited to have Thai food within walking distance (but the food would be worth a drive).

Diner Review №152

Staff was incredibly nice and generous. Great food for cheap & right across from Wright park. They even have breakfast :)

Diner Review №153

Delicious food! Came for breakfast and will be back for dinner . The staff was so kind too ! 😁
