The service was excellent and the food was great. We eat Thai food out quite frequently and the food here was as delicious. The only small drawback was they don't have a liquor license yet and we like Thai beer with our spicy food. We were just passing through in our travels, but we recommend this place and would go back. I had the pineapple fried rice and the shrimp rolls. My husband had one of the lunch specials - I can't remember the name but it was all good.

My favorite place in all of Lumberton. I've been to several states to eat Thai food but this is the best I've ever ate. The service is amazing and the people are friendly. You won't be disappointed

Best Thai food within 100 miles. Staff is great and accommodating. Very clean restaurant with fast service.

We were passing through Lumberton and decided to give Thai Chili a try. We enjoyed the red curry, massaman curry, and fried spring rolls. Everything was fresh, hot, and tasty, with well-balanced Thai flavors. Portions were generous. Glad we stopped in.

I was exploring the area and wanted a vegan option for dinner. I came across Thai Chili through Yelp, and decided to check it out. They have a great selection for vegetarians and vegans. I got Vegetarian Pad See Ew with tofu, which did not disappoint. It was hearty and delicious. I got the Yellow Curry with tofu to-go which was absolutely amazing! Definitely authentic.

The sweet and sour chicken is delicious. Unfortunately, the rice has a taste similar to that of microwaveable rice. This made the meal not enjoyable.

Could not taste the Thai flavor because the food was so burnt. The noodles were just clumps - like the scrambled egg. LOTS of cabbage in large square pieces. Only second purchase and, Lord willing, won't be going back. Too expensive for such awful tasting food.

Independently-owned casual Thai restaurant in Lumberton, NC. I've tried several of the entrees and they are consistently flavorful and fresh. The service here is friendly and efficient. I recommend ordering some of their spring rolls (with the sweet & spicy house sauce) or their Thai style chicken wings to go along with your meal. Takeout service is quick and reliable too. I highly recommend!

Awesome food. Worth the drive to Aberdeen to get some of the BEST Thai food. Will return soon!

I was passing through on a road trip, looking for a dog friendly place to lunch. This place is convenient off of I-95. Staff was welcoming and brought out a umbrella so we could eat at the outdoor tables in the shade. Our party ordered wontons, drunken noodles with beef, and tofu pad thai. Overall for a small town in the South this Thai restaurant impressed. The staff was very helpful and toddler and dog friendly. The Thai chili hot sauce that we ordered on the side was fresh chopped chili peppers, not dried flakes. It really packed a punch. Fresh Thai basil is growing on the patio. It was nice to learn that the owners grow their own chilis and spices! Would definitely come back again when passing through the area!
Ordered Drunken Noodles, mild, takeout. First bite had me gasping in pain for more than three minutes from hot hot pepper. Steamed tofu very dry. Terrible experience.

It is by far the best Thai place in the area. I come here quite a few times with my mother or with my sisters. Their fried rice is good and I am a fan of their cheese wontons. I would recommend this place to anyone.

I have eaten here since the restaurant opened some years ago when they had a buffet. It's a family-run business, so I like to support them. The food is often hit or miss. I have fish cakes regularly, which tend to be good. Today I had the Pad see ew, which, though on the sweet side, had good flavor and the broccoli floret ends were really cooked though still crunchy. The menu said the Pad see ew with tofu cost $11.99, when I paid the register or cashier added $1.00. I ended up talking to the owner husband (the restaurant is owned by a couple, the wife is friendlier than the husband) about the extra cost. He told me that this surcharge is shown on the menu--it wasn't. There was a surcharge for other dishes in that part of the menu, not the Paw see ew. Then he offered to give me $1.07 back. I told him if you are going to charge more, then that needs to be on the menu. He said he cannot afford to do that--did not want to write the new price in. He said that since the front of the menu says "Prices can change without notice" they can charge more than what is on the menu. I told him seems illegal--especially if they don't tell you when you order--it is definitely unsettling. I told him I was not questioning his prices, just that I want to know what I will be paying before I order. He finally told me "Good Day" as in leave now. After all these years, all the best to them. I won't be back since I don't know what my meal is going to cost.

We were just passing through the area, but this was perhaps the worst Thai food I have ever eaten. Everything had such a sweet taste. The pad Thai had a clawing sweetness to it that didn't resemble any other pad Thai I have ever eaten. The tofu in it was good. The massaman curry had 5 shrimp which were good, but the sauce again had a sweetness to it which overpowered any other taste.

Another Lumberton gem. I came here for dinner with my friend because of our shared love of Thai food. We're both in the area temporarily for work and decided to venture here. The decor is very simple and not a place to go if ambiance is the goal. But it's clean and the perfect place for a good casual bite. My friend had been here before but this was my first time. So I went with her suggestions for dishes. We ordered a Thai Tea, an order of spring rolls, shrimp pad see ew, and chicken pad see ew. She said the Thai Tea was delicious. I'm normally a fan but decided to save my calories for the food and opted for a water instead. Shortly after the drinks arrived, our spring rolls came out. They were piping hot and the filling was fresh and well seasoned. The wrapper was perfectly crisp and not greasy at all. The pad see ew was delicious. The flavors were spot on and the protein was cooked well. The only criticism I have is that the noodles were slightly overcooked but not so much so that the dish was inedible or unenjoyable. I will definitely eat here again during my time here.
