Secret Thai Restaurant

Food was amazing! I had Pad Woon Sen...everything was perfect.

I went to this restaurant in 2023. I’m sorry it took me so long to write a review, but I’m doing it now. The food was excellent to me. It had a little more oil in the dish than I’m used to, but it was still great to me. The portion sizes were very generous. The decor was nice, but it didn’t stand out to me. Take them serious when they ask you about your spice level. I think I did a “1” and it was spicy for me. I haven’t made it back due to the distance from where I live. I struggle with my weight so that’s probably a good thing for me. I would definitely recommend you try them the next time you think you want some Thai food. I posted before and after photos to show how much food I had left because I barely made a dent in the food.

You do not need to buy a ton of food the portions alone make this worth it. For two people one order is enough to feed both! The Thai tea was phenomenal and the staff are very friendly. We will definitely be back on more dates!!

I think the owners changed? Chicken satay with mayo on it, papaya salad obviously no or very little fish sauce. Curry, Pad Thai. Unfortunately none of the food tasted like Thai food. The dishes looked the part but the flavor profiles were all off. Some months ago I was here and it was good. Or maybe regular cooks not here. I dunno, was severely off though.

Great food. Fast service. Outstanding value for the money. Worth the trip from anywhere.

The food was amazing! The portions were equally amazing. We are lucky to have this unique restaurant in a community like St. Bernard Parish, which is filled with 99 percent junk food, fast food-typical places to eat that you wish you did not! McDonald's, Taco Bell, etc.... I have no affiliation with this restaurant excluding enjoying there food! Keep it up!!!

By far my favorite Thai restaurant!

Excellent customer care and professionalism, amazing food.

My absolute go to in New Orleans for delicious Thai food.

Surprisingly (from a Thai Restaurant)The orange chicken was fantastic. Crispy, flavorful, and not overly sweet like some places make it. The pad isn't the 'typical' pad Thai we're used to but it was packed with flavor. The fried rice was a solid side, nothing fancy, just good, classic fried rice.

We also got the massaman curry, which was so fragrant and rich. The egg rolls are huge and clearly handmade. Definitely a step above your standard takeout egg roll. Tom Kha (not pictured) was so creamy and authentic tasting.

Now, a word of warning: the spice levels here are NO joke. I usually go for a medium spice at other Thai places, so I ordered a '1' here. My husband, who loves heat, thinks '3' is spicy, '4' is very spicy and '5' is sweating spicy (TUMS required). So, definitely err on the side of caution when ordering spice here. I'd say a '0.5' is more like a standard medium.

The atmosphere is really cute and eclectic. It's not a fancy place, but it's cozy and colorful. The staff was friendly and attentive. And the Thai tea? Delicious! So creamy and flavorful.

Overall, I'd definitely recommend Secret Thai as an all around good Thai restaurant. The food is great, the atmosphere is charming, and the prices are reasonable. Be prepared for 3 days of leftovers!

EDITED TO ADD:
Basil fried rice is incredibly flavorful and delicious. Has a sweetness. Personally I would chose over the tbaj fried rice.
Ghost gate pad Thai (omelet on top) is superb, it's somehow the same but different. I find the egg soaks up the sauce and becomes even more flavorful.
Green curry was tasty. Huge chunks of eggplant. Spicy at baseline so be careful adding more.
Egg rolls are definitely homemade, comes with a unique sweet chili sauce.
Orange chicken again 10/10, enough food for a village. Probably a whole chicken.

I LOVE this place. I’m part thai and this reminds me a lot of my dad and grandma’s cooking. The servings are very big and I love their thai teas. I find lately in the sweat and sour sauce that the bell peppers aren’t cut enough anymore and their rice sometimes doesn’t feel as fluffy as I’d like, those are just minor details though.
Their service could be better. Staff are normally friendly and attentive, beyond that there’s not much else that stands out.
My favorite thing about this place is the atmosphere. The painted walls, plants EVERWHERE, the flower lamps on the ceiling, I love it all. It’s so colorful, warm, and inviting. It’s not everyone’s cup of tea but I love it.
Overall this my favorite thai food restaurant I recommend the sweat and sour sauce and the jasmine thai tea.

Tom Yum - 0.5 spice level
is perfect for my Louisiana taste buds - probably equivalent to a medium at most American Thai restaurants. I’ve had it at level 1 and it was HOT!
Love that they have vegetarian egg rolls but something about the texture isn’t quite right with them
Great portions, really nice and efficient staff
