The BEST red curry chicken I've had! I get it spicy and man that stuff hits the spot. The staff is very friendly too.

Food is good; however, we ran into issues. Tried to order draft beer as listed on the menu, but there was no draft beer. Ordered brown rice and got white rice. Our food was brought to the table about 20 minutes after we ordered, which is fine, but it was only at that point that they delivered only one entree… notifying us that the other entree would take another 30-45 minutes to make. That could have been told to us after we originally ordered. So, we decided to cancel the other entree, eat the one we got (with the wrong type of rice), and go to Hop Gardens for pizza instead since we were still very hungry.

Very disappointed. I ordered the green curry. It was pure white, watery and tasteless. The only vegetable in the dish was eggplant. It was definitely not a curry by any stretch of the imagination. The veggie delight was pretty watery and tasteless as well. I ordered brown rice and got white. This is my neighborhood Thai place and I've had decent food here in the past, but this takeout was really disgusting and not cheap.

It's been years since I've eaten here, still amazing food, good price and ample portions. I always gotten the yellow curry(mild) with chicken and some extra rice. I like that the potatoes and carrots are cut with ridges in them. Great mouth feel and holds sauce well compared to smoothly cut veggies.

A nice little place who make authentic Thai food with wonderful flavors. If you enjoy authentic you'll like Chada Thai.

Tasty Thai cuisine that's one of my favorite of all Thai restaurants - especially the Kao Soi Noodles & the Fresh Mango & Sticky Rice. Nicco the host is so charming & helpful in helping us order. Great comfort food!

IT USED TO BE SO GOOD... For years, I have eaten lunch here. The food and service were both quite good, but in the last year or two, it's gone to absolute crap.Having had this same experience the last three times, I'm never going back:The person who is the only one representing the business, supposedly as the food server, is faithfully lighting candles and praying in front of each of the devotional portraits hung around the place (sort of a Thai "Stations of The Cross"?) for fifteen minutes, while I wait to be noticed (there IS a loud door chime and I'm the only patron). Order briskly taken, she begins a long angry phone call, ten minutes later puts the order in. No water, no nothing. I wait, because the crispy duck USED to be so good. Nearly a half hour later, out it comes, along with a lukewarm teabag in water, no pot of hot water for the tea.... Bok Choi is cold and limp and oil floating on the sauce. The duck? A hockey puck! inedible, even after getting a knife (asked thrice, as she "forgot", again).No check offered, as in the last two times, had to hunt her down and pay at a counter, interrupting her prayers and tv watching. I suppose she and I both wondered why I had come in to begin with?Never. Again

Food is the best!! And the presentation is wonderful! We loved the Chicken Pineapple Fried Rice-- great portion size.The Red Pineapple Curry with tofu was also sensational. Will be back!
While there are some restaurants that may not offer the most exceptional flavours, they still manage to satisfy your cravings for a particular cuisine, until you find better alternatives. This restaurant does not fall into that category....I'm genuinely amazed by the overwhelmingly positive reviews this place has received. My experience left much to be desired, starting with the chicken larb, which lacked flavor and had an unpleasantly grainy texture. The chicken wings were disappointingly salty, presumably from an excessive use of fish sauce and soy sauce in the sauce. Even worse, they managed to botch the fried rice not once, but twice! Despite ordering a total of 8 dishes between myself and my 6 family members, the only redeeming item from the kitchen was the tea.

Good Service Tasty Food Table is a little cluttered with old containers for ingredients we will go back! Good Place for Real Thai Food

The meals are provided family-style. Fantastic fried chicken is the chef's speciality. Despite the fact that I am not at all a salad person, I always order their shrimp salad. They also come in a recommended peach/green tea flavor. The ambiance is quite relaxed, and the servers are also highly knowledgeable. I've sampled a lot of the menu's offerings, and I've never been let down.

I have never been inside of this place. I went to the veterinarian next to it. But it's Oriental food so I think that it would be good.

We were looking for a place for dinner on a Saturday and spotted this Thai restaurant. It is in a dilapidated commercial strip with vacant storefronts, abandoned buildings, broken sidewalks, collapsed Thai concrete art work lying upside down on the sidewalk, and an out-of-business car wash across the street. Despite this visual blight, the neighborhood felt safe.If you are still reading this review, you will be happy to hear that the food is very good here! Okay. so there is graffiti in the bathroom, only 1 person working the dining room and one in the kitchen. Wait time for our meal was 20 minutes; longer than a normal restaurant. Oh, yes. The restaurant stores their toilet paper supply in the dining room.But, the 3 items we ordered were all flavorful. No complaints.If you consider everything about this restaurant (excluding the food), a 2 star rating is in order. If you consider only the food, 4 stars are appropriate. Hence, my overall Yelp rating is an attempt to be fair to the restaurant.
