12 Best Thai Restaurants near Chapel Hill

“Great culturally appropriate decor especially in a small shopping center and fast service for lunch. The Thai iced tea was very good and the small salad with the green possibly mint base dressing was the best dressing I've ever had. My friend had the Pad See Ew which he liked very much and I had the Pad Gra Pow which tasted great and had the perfect amount of spicy heat. Both plates were nice and hot when they arrived at the table.“

“My friend took me here saying it was his absolute favorite thai place. I can see why. The minute I walked in the place just smelled like fish sauce and I knew itd be legit. We got the pad thai, fried rice, and green curry. Everything was delicious! The spice is pretty high, we got a 2.5 which was good, but definitely spicier than expected. I found the pad thai to look a bit plain, but flavor was amazing and i loved the noodle texture. Although i prefer the bean sprouts as a topping, it was good mixed in. Not a fan of the chicken though. Dry, tough, and bland. Curry was sweeter than i liked but still delicious, and although i am not a fan of fried rice this was really good. MSG good lol.“

“the P1 pho dish is so wonderful! I love this restaurant. the pho broth is so tasty and comforting! highly recommend this place!“

“Very good sushi, good atmosphere, great lunch deals, don't go there in a rush - food takes a minute to arrive.Recommend : Fire Ball roll, Hawaiian roll, Carolina way, and the Tom Yum Soup, and sashimi.Also good : shrimp wasabi roll, ultimate salmon roll, and fresh off roll - a little difficult to taste the difference between them.Csn skip: fried gyoza.“

“Everything was excellent, from the food to the service. We will definitely be coming back again soon!“

“This is our go to sushi restaurant in chapel hill/ durham. The sushi is consistent and delicious. The sushi chef is one of the best I’ve seen in this area. It’s always superb sush. My particular favorite is going during their lunch special , which includes weekdays and Saturdays. My children love the sushi and we get a couple of the triples that include 3 rolls with soup or salad. We love their spicy tuna, spicy yellowtail, Philadelphia roll, and generally the rest of their menu is all really amazing. The price is amazing and we always devour all the food. If you are someone who cares about quality, ratios, and consistency, then you will love it like we do. They do have a list of fancier rolls that we occasionally get and are also amazing. But we keep coming back because we hit the perfect balance between amazing cost and amazing, delicious food. You get the best quality and the best price here and it’s so worth it! Highly recommend it!“

“I had been warned that they served really spicy food, so I ordered my meal with 2 out of 4 on the ?️ scale, but it was not very spicy. Next time I'll get it hotter. The crispy tofu appetizer was delicious. The main course of cashew veggie stir fry was good but not the best I've had. The wine selection is minimal and the Sauvignon Blanc was better than the Cab. We took home enough for lunch the following day.Vegetarian options: Almost every dish can be made with veggies instead of chicken or beef.Parking: Parking deck behind the hotel.“

“I have been dining at Thai Station since its inception, and consistently, both the cuisine and service have been exceptional. Throughout my experiences, I have encountered no issues whatsoever. For those seeking authentic and delicious cuisine, I wholeheartedly recommend Thai Station.“

“We had a fantastic outdoor meal as the weather cooled down this week! Our server was excellent—attentive, friendly and knowledgeable. The beautiful, Thai presentation of our meals matched the fresh and deep flavors. Papaya salad, deep fried Swai with green mango, fried catfish special, garlic chicken, dumplings…delicious! Thanks for the great night!“

“For a restaurant that was described as “concerningly Asian” by the couple next to me, this was a lovely experience. I found the level of Asian-ness to be perfectly acceptable for Durham, NC - and in fact it was pretty standard as far as Thai restaurants go.The entire front of house was run by one man. I do not know his name, but he is my personal hero. He was seating tables, taking orders, running food, refilling drinks, and processing checks with more efficiency than a coordinated strike team. Now I hear what you’re thinking: “Hey Adrian, Coordinated Strike Teams don’t run restaurants.” And to that I say: Shut up. Overall, service gets five stars.The food was subtle but flavorful. I got the Thai Basil Fried Rice because my white posterior cannot handle much spicier than BBQ Sauce. It was not only incredibly flavorful and texture rich, but also satisfying. It was a perfect lunch portion. I’m a Big Boy so I tend to eat a bit more than most folks, so expect to get a to-go box. Five stars for food quality, portion, and flavor.The atmosphere was as expected. Picture any given asian restaurant in a strip mall. Now make it 5% cleaner. Perfect. You’ve just imagined the atmosphere of Twisted Noodles. I imagine the couple next to me was venturing outside their McDonald’s comfort zone to describe it the way they did. Four stars for atmosphere. It’s pleasant and inoffensive.Overall it’s a great lunch spot. I’ll definitely be back. And if you go, tip your server. He’s deep in the trenches from clock in to clock out, and it’s partially your fault. Five stars.“

“I always get the spicy coconut soup! Such a fantastic laid back spot. Been coming since the early 2000s and was my first Thai place I ever tried. This spot will not disappoint!“

“I had the general tso's chicken with fried rice and crab ragoon. The chicken was really good. The fried rice was actually just yellow rice, but tasted decent. The crab ragoon was tasty, just a little soggy and not very crispy. I'd go here again but maybe try something different. Overall not a bad place and priced very fair.“
