I love this restaurant to the point that I drive from Alexandria to go to it.

I’ve never had food that I haven’t liked there. The rice bowls are perfect.

The staff is very friendly.

The atmosphere and overall design of the restaurant is vibrant and very photogenic.

It’s a popular spot, usually full, but I don’t have much issue getting a table for two relatively quickly.

If Willy Wonka opened a Thai restaurant, this would be it!

Walking up to Thai Chef felt like stepping into a Thai art museum that binge-watched HGTV and then said, “Let’s go full color explosion.” I mean seriously — stained-glass vibes, hanging lanterns, neon stars, and even a flying horse. If Willy Wonka went on a food tour through Bangkok, this is the restaurant he’d open.

Thai chef has been a great place and has been incredible due to its vegetarian and vegan options, however it has recently removed some of the flexibility in its menu, such as being unable to replace meat with tofu options or even just removing meat from items (namely fried rices). This, and a downgrade in the quality of food such as tofu bring much lower quality has negatively impacted vegetarian and vegan customers.
