Always great food

I've ordered from this restaurant a few times now and it is soo good. So far, I've had the curry which is my favorite type of Thai food. I've had the roasted duck curry, red curry, massaman curry, the Thai pumpkin red curry, and the panang curry. They all came with a good amount of white rice. The only time I wasn't so happy was when I ordered the red curry. It had more vegetables than meat and when I finished, I had more curry sauce left over than protein and bell peppers. Other than that, the meal was good.

Very good Thai food with great portion size. I'll be back! Not anymore!!!!Well, I've been back several times, but today, 2/1/24, what happened!!! Prices are higher! Quantities lower! Lunch portion for dinner menu. Here's a pic of my yum salad that came in a small plastic container with 3 half slices of cucumber, 1 slice of onion (if that), 2 lettuce leaves that were all rib, smaller plastic cup of rice, and hardly any sauce. Horribly disappointing. Pad See Yu has about 3 or 4 shrimp and no sauce ( hubby not here to count shrimp yet). Grandson said 4, maybe 5, shrimp and hardly any sauce on the pad thai. They used to be good.

We stopped here for lunch to go on our way to Busch Gardens and were SO pleasantly surprised at the quality of our meal! We got veggie spring rolls, steamed dumplings, vegetable pad see ew, vegetable basil rice, and side of white rice for my picky eater. Everything tasted freshly prepared and very flavorful! Great vegan and vegetarian options, just ask for no egg. Will keep this on the list for future stops :)

This was my FIRST time trying this recommended restaurant. Ordered the pad Thai with several meats, and the portion was great, the flavor was bland. Then I ordered FRESH Spring Rolls with shrimp. They were filled with mostly lettuce, grated carrots, noodles and 1 shrimp, maybe 2. Will NOT go back and will NOT recommend going. EXPENSIVE for what you get.Disappointed. Langley Thai is way better!

This place has always been very good, we have literally been coming here for years! The food is always consistently delicious and to the table shortly after you order. The service is quick and very friendly. seating is seat yourself, but is limited. Our favorite option is carry out lol. The combination fried rice is always our go to but I decided to try their pineapple fried rice and I have to say it had way more flavor! It's definitely my new go to. You really can't go wrong with anything in their menu!

This place is one of my favorite Thai restaurants based on the food only. I got the combination fried rice and my husband got the pineapple fried rice- both were amazing as usual. We got the fresh spring rolls (shrimp) they were also good. It's a fairly small place but they could accommodate a large party, and it is clean. The service is what I wish was better, it felt like we were a burden at times- waiter was unfriendly or just didn't have a great personality in general not sure which. If you want tasty Thai food give them a try.

Best Thai food in Hampton Roads. Food was served ultra fast, Aroma of Jasmine rice, sweet basil and fresh spices, taste of delicious eggplant dish, and a very friendly gentleman served the food graciously. And the cost was beyond reasonable. Highly recommend.

I ordered take out through GrubHub and was very pleased. I had the basil fried rice with crab meat. It was cooked perfectly.It was still very hot when it was delivered and I think they did a great job at representing the spiciness ?️ of the dish. The mildest version is still spicy but so good!
