I ordered from here multiple times, today specifically I ordered 3 orders of chicken satay. I opened my food when I got home and noticed that the portion size had been reduced. I immediately called the restaurant and was transferred to the cook, which is the owner I explained that there had to be something wrong because the portion size was so much less. He informed me that he had to cut the chicken because he doesn’t keep profits? I asked him Who keeps the profits then? I paid you and you gave me way less food and didn’t tell Me anything about reduced portion sizes. He had taken 1 previous portion size and cut to make into 3 portion sizes. My pinky is bigger than the portion given. I think for this inconvenience you should give me at least one order refund he responded by saying you give me chicken back I resell and give your Money back. WHAT??? I asked. That’s disgusting and completely unacceptable. Will inform local health department and the FDA! I will also let everyone know not to visit this restaurant that’s resells food! So NASTY with exceptionally Poor customer service! Yuck!!

I ordered, via Uber eats, the Southside Pho with duck, seafood combo and vegetables. Wow! The broth is so authentic! The duck had crispy skin, the scallop was U12, the shrimp was easily U16, and there were 4! The calamari was beautiful, and fresh, crispy veggies:carrot, broccoli, snap peas, mushrooms, bean sprouts. Simply superb!! I asked for extra bean sprouts and Thai basil. Ordered their homemade garlic chili oil and lime on the side. This was wonderful! Now my go to for Pho, and I work in New Haven, so there are plenty of Pho options, but no competition/comparison...well done South Side Thai, well done! I'll be back!!

I couldn’t tell from the outside when I arrived here today, the restaurant was very cozy and clean - well ventilated.Three of us ordered coconut shrimp to share, one not spicy pad thai with shrimp, spicy beef pad thai, and chicken drunken noodle. I tried all the dish- and they were good. Very strong flavor in the spicy beef pad thai and drunken noodle but the regular shrimp pad thai was a bit too sweet in my taste.Coconut shrimp was delicious! The shrimps were cooked perfectly. It was fresh and the texture was delightful.Drunken noodle was interesting. It had a strong flavor! What intrigued me was the hot basil sauce they used in the dish. I enjoyed this dish but it was different from what I’m used to. It just had a strong soy sauce note which I didn’t mind !Beef pad thai looked really good and we could tell the beef wasn’t overcooked and it was perfect for my hubby as he likes his beef abit undercooked.Overall, I’m glad we tried this place and if I lived in the neighborhood this place would have been my go-to thai spot!

Delicious food. Excellent ambience. Quiet, not what you'd expect from the outside. Great service, they were so nice about us not realizing that we showed up 30 minutes before they closed to transfer from lunch to dinner. They were patient and while we respected their time and were self-cognizant, we didn't feel rushed by the staff at all. The food was delicious, I've never been disappointed with take-out or delivery and the in-restaurant experience delivered the same high quality.

Darn the owners changed and so did the food. My pad Thai had broken noodles so that when you picked it up, they were 2-3 inches. It was gelatinous, maybe it was because the noodles were overcooked. I didn’t eat it. They offered to make it again but I declined. They kept it on the bill but it was fine since I wasn’t going back. The tofu basil was better but I probably will not go again. The service on the otherhand is much better than the previous owners. I haven’t been in this part of town for a year and didn’t realize it had new owners.Update- I would have eaten the pad Thai if it was any good. I eat alone all the time . I didn't tip because I told her that you shouldn't charge for a terrible dish and that you should pay her for the dish I paid.Wallingford might not be a cosmopolitan of a town but people here have good taste- they know when something taste good /authentic. The previous owners made authentic Thai that was delicious. They brought me Thai chilis in fish sauce, your restaurant doesn't even have that anymore.Cooking pad Thai noodles should have been easy. I was the only one in your restaurant. I was so looking forward to it since I had moved and missed the food. But it was a huge disappointment and your place is like most Thai restaurants now - mediocre.Don’t accuse me of being full. If the food is good, people take it to go. I ate just the tofu from the basil dish which was more just brown sauce and I was trying to figure out what was wrong with the pad Thai. When noodles are over cooked and broken, perhaps, you kitchen might want to consider why that happened.Make tastier food and you won’t have a person who loved this place complain and vow not to e er go back.If you want to be defensive, fight back by making tastier food.By the way, I waited for the wait staff to come get my check and finally walked up and paid at the register. So, you guys are friendlier when I entered, that doesn't mean the service was great. In the first post, I was trying to say something positive but it wasn't deserved. I hope you take this opportunity to visit some other Thai restaurants in New Haven and see why your food isn’t great.

Excellent restaurant- highly recommended. Service was perfect, food was delicious and plentiful, and price was very reasonable.
This was our first time trying South Side Thai, and we are glad we ordered. My husband and I both got paid Thai, we ordered them how we wanted and they not only did they accommodate our requests but they tasted delicious ?. I also wanted to try the dumplings, which were so fresh and also very tasty. We were trying to find a new place for pad Thai because the last couple places we have been to were less than inoressivem we will definitely order again from South Side Thai and can't wait to try some different items int he menu!

Overall their food is good Thai food. The veggie and tofu drunken noodle only had 3 pieces of tofu in it. The chicken drunken noodle had a good amount of chicken in it. Their soups were flavorful but the broth was thinner than other restaurants we’ve been to.Vegetarian options: There are several vegetarian options. Some items could be made vegan if they don’t add the egg. Unsure if they use fish sauce in their vegetarian dishes.Parking: The parking lot of the restaurant is limited however there was a sign about additional parking in a side lot.Wheelchair accessibility: Restaurant is ground level and has plenty of tables that can seat someone with a wheelchair.

I hadn't visited this place for the last few years since the new management took over (almost 4-5 years ago). One day while we were in the area, we decided to give it a try. To our surprise, the food was as good as before. They do offer online ordering as well phone in orders. My family loves the chicken soup/fried rice options. I am not a big Thai food lover considering how sparse the options are, mostly for vegetarians. I specify no meat/chicken/egg/fish sauce always while ordering. They seem to be accommodating such requests.
