Tiparos is your classic neighborhood Thai spot. The decor? Definitely not fancy—think more “been here forever” than “Instagram-worthy.” The service can feel a little casual, too. But the food? It’s packed with bold Thai flavors that hit the spot when you’re craving a quick, satisfying meal. It’s not the kind of place that leaves a lasting impression, but it gets the job done when you’re in the mood for Thai.

Excellent service and amazing food. Deliciously prepared and served with care. You can taste how much that value their ingredients and customers. I highly recommend going to Tiparos!

We took the family here for dinner while visiting Old Town. The staff was very friendly and attentive and the food was absolutely delicious! We’ll definitely eat here again.
Started off with warm sake, of course, and then we did the chicken potstickers and the spicy beef sticks to finish our apps. Then for a main we split the Tom Yum soup which is incredible and then we did two rolls. One was the Summer Maki which was an absolutely amazing role & probably one of the best rolls I’ve been had — super refreshing, takes you right to the beaches in the summer. The we finished with the Volcano Maki which that they actually light on fire!! This is a must try in person/hidden gem but they also have speedy takeout.

I feel bad writing a poor review about a local restaurant, but the food here is not worth the price they charge for it. AT. ALL. I ordered pad khee mao and it was VERY VERY over cooked noodles, microwaved frozen veggies, small defrosted frozen shrimp and ZERO sauce or seasoning. I'm almost wondering if they just flat out forgot the sauce/seasoning? It had absolutely no flavor.
My boyfriend's chicken pad Thai was made with over cooked spaghetti pasta - NOT rice noodles as it is traditionally prepared. Woefully under seasoned with chunks of tofu that threw us off. I didn't try the chicken since it looked inedible. My boyfriend stopped eating this after a few bites due to how bad it was.
The chicken egg rolls were passable at best, but greasy and - again - NO FLAVOR. Our meal was $50 and it tasted like a frozen Healthy Choice meal (it was worse than a Lean Cuisine lol).
I'm sorry to say this was probably the worst Thai meal I have ever had in my life. There are enough Thai restaurants in the area to find better elsewhere.
I typically don’t write reviews but I should give a fair warning to those interested in dining here. Went with a group of friends to have lunch and saw the high ratings and decided to pick this place. Major mistake.Our first sign was that the owner made us seat ourselves by saying “pick wherever you wanna sit” and waved his hand at us as if we were bothering him. We sat down and finally got the menus. On Google it says this place has Thai cuisine as well as sushi. There was no sushi on the menu that was given to us so we decide to play it safe by getting crab rangoons as a starter. These were not “crab rangoons”. There was no crab, it was straight cream cheese. We knew by then that we made a mistake by coming here. We ordered chicken teriyaki and sweet and sour soup. When you pay $17 per person, you expect the food to at least be cooked right? Not at this place. We get our food and it was cold. The only thing warm was the teriyaki sauce that was dumped over the food. The lettuce was unwashed and clearly old, the carrots were barely cooked and cold, the broccoli was raw but was clearly warmed in the microwave and the chicken or should I say chicken slabs were cold to the touch. The sauce was at room temperature and the rice was old and overcooked. The waiter was rude to us and did not come to check in at all during our dining experience. Only thing that was done was him filling up our waters. The final blow was when we were paying for the food. The owner comes up and tells us each our totals. He then proceeds to watch us intensely to see what tip we leave. 2 of us decided to tip due to pressure and the other 2 decided to not tip due to the horrible service and food that was provided. (Note: we all left the food as if it was never touched). The owner clearly got upset with this as he storms off and only brings those 2 their receipts and slam them on the table and yelled at us for not leaving a tip and then proceeded to curse at us under his breath. Sir, the food was not good, and overall your attitude was a shocker. I’ve never had that bad of an experience especially with the owner of the place. I recommend that the owner should learn how to be respectful to his customers instead of acting out the way he did. Overall, save your money and tastebuds, McDonald’s would be better than this place.

Great food, even better service. Had the crab rangoons, some sushi, red curry, and pad see eiw—all were very good and fresh, reasonable prices too. Paul took great care of us.

What can you really expect from a Thai place that also serves sushi?!? We ordered take out and had a mix of Thai dishes and some sushi (OK, fine the mixing of cuisines serves a purpose). Both were competent. The noodles we got lacked any char and wok flavor. Fine, but there’s better out there.

This spot is such a gem! I moved to the neighborhood a year ago and have stopped by at least 7 times. It’s just a comfortable spot with great food. The staff is very attentive and always so friendly. I’ve never waited more than 30 minutes for my food.
My dad swears by their sushi, I love the massaman curry, pad see eiw and the fried rice.
Definitely stop by here!

Came here with my boyfriend when we wanted to try a Thai spot. The servers were very kind. Food was excellent and had big portions. The rama sauce dish was savory and the salmon sushi was fresh. Thai tea was also really good. Would go again!
