The place smells like a sewer. Pork in panang curry was dry and too sweet. Fried calamari was too tough to chewParking: Across the street there's a lot with plenty of parking

Loved the ambience. Food was great, tasted authentic. The drink collection was great. They have exotic list of cocktails. Great decor and nice music. They have a great selection of menu items available. They have a patio, but that portion is kept close until late spring. Also they have a dedicated parking lot.Parking: They have a designated parking lot.Kid-friendliness: Yes

Nice spot for lunch or dinner. Pad Thai was fantastic.
Service was slow and inattentive, which was odd given the number of employees standing behind the bar or holding up the walls and looking at their phones. The overall impression was a complete lack of interest in providing service.Atmosphere was meh because of the staff.Food could have been better, dishes were inconsistent. The salmon in the Salmon Red Curry was broiled to a crisp, hard, tasteless brick, the Curry sauce was tasty but the temperature was only lukewarm. Dishes for our table of 3 did not arrive together, one dish arriving 10 minutes later. The Patio fried rice dish was adequate, the Seafood Red Curry was better prepared than the Salmon. The Taste of Heaven cocktail was an overpriced ($13) ginger beer with a sprig of rosemary.This is my 3rd experience with Thai Garden and each time it has been less satisfying. I don't think I will be back. If management is open to feedback - hire staff that has something on the ball. Figure out how to bring food to the table while it is still hot, and invest in a cooking timer.

My favorite cozy little Thai restaurant. Haven't been on the famous patio yet, but the downstairs dining area has great character and energy.Their tom kha is amazing. Chicken satay skewers made with chicken thighs were also excellent.

Needed a place to have lunch for 8 people while visiting for a wedding. We called Patio Thai and they cheerfully said "no problem"! We were greeting with a smile, shown to an interior table with plenty of room, and quickly served water while we looked at the menu. By the way, they do have outdoor seating, but it was a bit too cold for that. And although we walked from a nearby hotel, several of our party found easy parking nearby! The menu had the usual Thai specialities, including a good beer and wine list. Everyone in our party ordered dishes like Pad Ka-Pow, Chicken Cashew Nut, and Pad Thai. We also enjoyed cold Singha Thai beer on draft, which was very refreshing! I would've posted some pictures of our delicious meals, but they didn't last because we ate them so fast!! As well as having plenty to share and a very reasonable price for the meal, the service was friendly, prompt, and flexible for vegetarian and modified orders, like spice levels from none to hot. We'll be back when we're in the Richmond area to enjoy more Thai specialties!
