We stopped at Chill Out Cafe for a quick dinner and had a great time! We got pad thai and pad woon sen. Both were very tasty. Staff was kind and helpful. Would recommend if you're in the area!

Had a great lunch. Really cute and chill as the name suggests. I was a bit skeptical because I was in Thailand this summer and thought it would be Americanized, but the service and flavor was really authentic. Will be back for sure

The lady at the phone directly hung up on me and I had to drive here to order a pickup in person. And another lady at the counter gave me cold face for no reason. This type of attitude needs to be fixed and they need to apologize. New: they intentionally added extremely hot spices in my food and refused to refund.

This was my favorite restaurant in the area until today. Anytime I am close I make my way to eat here but today I asked for extra vegetables and I was served spoiled yellow-ish broccoli that had a sour taste.
Although not a huge deal, I put it to the side, and my meal besides this was great, I brought it up to the chef and when I checked out I had a charge on my bill for $3.50 for the broccoli and told that it wouldn't be taken off because it was fine.
Unfortunately I won't be back. I'm sure this won't be a recurring issue in the future but wanted to voice my experience nonetheless.

Loved the Chicken with yellow curry sauce. Soup and salad with the lunch special were appreciated. Good value.

Poor experience … We weren’t greeted when we came in… so we sat ourselves and grabbed our own menu. The server wasn’t friendly. On top of that, the pad seew was dry and flavorless. :(

I enjoyed my visit to Chill Out Cafe! I had a bowl of their Tom Kha and I enjoyed it. I had never seen tomatoes or carrots in this dish from any other Thai restaurant before, but I enjoyed the flavors of this addition. The calamari was deliciously crunchy. Our whole table ordered bubble tea but unfortunately they did not have enough boba left, as it was the end of the day. The thai tea and coffee was delicious regardless. I would come here again, and I hope to try their breakfast soon!

I have frequented Chill Out Cafe for years and I’m here to say that Chill Out Cafe has exquisite food! They’re a very small operation- one person to perform all front house duties and as far as I’m aware, only one person in the kitchen, but when they aren’t super busy, wait times are not an issue. The front-house manager is super sweet. Always courteous and helpful. Everything is so fresh and delicious. I literally order shrimp tom kha every time I go because it’s the best tom kha I’ve ever had the pleasure of eating. The ambiance is wonderful also. Highly recommend!

always delicious & wonderful! love their lunch special. my favourite dish is the tom kha soup!
I’m usually a google review lurker, but this place is so amazing I had to share. I’ve lived in the neighborhood for 5 years and walked by this place many times but have never dined until yesterday. In a city with so many trendy restaurants, it is easy to overlook this place at first, but don’t be fooled. My partner and I decided stopped in to check this place out and had an EXCEPTIONAL meal! We sat on the patio which has the loveliest energy and is decorated in a way where you can really tell someone put some love into opening this place. We had a Thai tea and iced coffee, a seaweed salad, a squid steak, crab fried rice, and the garlic shrimp. Everything was delicious, but the squid steak and crab rice were out of this world. Super fresh and generous portions. Everything is priced so reasonably! Our food was a little slow coming out, but there was just one waitress and we weren’t in a rush so we actually enjoyed being able to relax outside and just enjoy the atmosphere. This place has a lot of heart and soul in the food and location, and was a lovely departure from some of the heavier dishes/cuisines NOLA is known for. Will definitely be coming back!

The shrimp is tender! Salmon will be better if the black paste is less.

I much enjoy Thai food. They have a lot going for them here; as the name suggests, it is an extremely chill environment. The location amid a quiet neighborhood is quite pleasant, and enhanced by the calm Thai-pop music playing in the background.The service was great, no complaints there.In terms of the food, I have a few comments: the vegetable egg rolls tasted familiar to me. That’s because I’ve cooked my own exactly like them using spring roll sheets I bought at the store, hand rolling them and deep frying them. So, they’re definitely rolled in-house, but I never quite enjoyed the taste of the fried wraps. There’s a certain…papery-ness to them.The main dish, the pad Thai, (which I got with no peanuts), was overseasoned. Too much flavor. I think, dial back a tad on the seasoning, and the dish is perfect.Room for improvement, but great potential. Thanks for the lunch!

The food here is delicious and the atmosphere is peaceful and relaxing, especially on a beautiful day. Their Kee Mao is the best I’ve ever had. Lots of vegan and vegetarian options. The desserts are awesome too! Great place to get a meal with friends.
Vegetarian options: Most anything can be modified to be vegetarian.
