6 Best Thai Restaurants near New London

“Perfectly prepare Pad Thai and Drunken Noodles. Great green salad and fresh spring rolls!“

“I tried this place for the first time while I was in the area. I must say that I was very impressed. I was greeted warmly and treated like royalty. My server was very attentive. She stayed close by to ensure that I was well taken care of. The food came out very quickly. All of the ingredients were fresh. The shrimp 🍤 Pad Thai 🍜 was very rich and savory. She offered me extra spice. The crushed red cayenne pepper was just the right combination of heat and flavor. The lime 🍋‍🟩 and orange 🍊 garnish were a nice touch! The booth by the window had an awesome view of the city. I think I will try the pho on my next visit! This restaurant is a must try! 👍🏽🌶️🥢🥳“

“Were told it would be 20 minutes just to get the order for slat and pepper wings. We ordered other items but went back and placed the order for the salt and pepper wings. They made the meal. Definitely worth the hour drive. The ginger rice chicken soup was like a hug in a bowl.“

“Great food very fresh and tasty!“

“Ahhh…Niantic. Restaurants here do not need to work hard because Niantic itself is a joyful place. My Chicken Teriyaki dinner ($18) was excellent. Moist chicken, lovely presentation with broccoli florets ringing the chicken, carrot rounds (perfect) under the chicken, just the right amount of sauce and jasmine rice. A small salad with delicious dressing although it had that baffling watery quality and miso soup that was lukewarm preceded the dinner. My companion had the excellent Thai rice with chicken. The high top was wobbly. That’s the worst thing you can say about the experience. So easy to fix. I had the generous ginger martini, my partner enjoyed the Sam seasonal. It being Saturday of the Niantic Light Parade, we had an excellent view of the festivities-hence a 5 star atmosphere. In daylight, from our table, one can see the Niantic Bay. The young host attempted to shim the bottom of the table. Our server was pleasant. The loud blond server was not. It’s been a minute since we’ve visited The Spice Club. It’s worth another trip next time we’re thinking of Asian Fusion or Sushi.“
