Authentic food, cool atmosphere, excellent service. Had a reservation and took us promptly.
Great food! I love the ambience of the restaurant. My gin martini was perfect. The service was great too! My coworkers and I had a blast with the lunch special
We've been to Thai Villa before and had an amazing experience, but this time we waited for a table for 40 minutes after our reservation time. I wouldn't have made a reservation if I'd known we would have to wait so long. They told us our table would be ready shortly after arriving, and I checked in multiple times while standing there and they repeatedly said our table was ready and the people there paid but they were just waiting for them to leave. We honestly should have left but didn't know the charade would go on for so long. The food was good and the server was very attentive once we sat down, but getting one free order of veggie spring rolls didn't make that long of a wait worth it. Also, I ordered a dish without cashews, they put it down in front of me and said “pineapple fried rice with no cashews” and then I looked down and there were cashews in it. They corrected it very quickly but after this experience I'm not interested in returning to Thai Villa when there are so many other restaurant options.
The food here is always worth it — I've never ordered something I didn't like and the portions are generous! I ordered the eggplant basil tofu, which had a bit of spice and lots of flavor. My friend ordered pad Thai and two Moscow mules — the best she's had in the area! The decor and ambiance is always impressive, although table seating on the first floor can feel tight. We got seated upstairs (my second time), and the only issue is that after you get your meal, service is slow — it almost feels like they forget about you.
Perfect for dinner with friends! Food is great for sharing and cocktails are delicious (try the Ugly Duckling!).
Food was great, but we had to wait 25' before being seated (yes, despite having a reservation)
My favorite restaurant in the city. The food is always amazing which is why I keep coming back. Only complaint is the noise level. My partner had to put an earplug in.
Got the Pad Thai and loved it—great flavor, balanced sweetness, perfect noodles, and generous portions. Cozy spot with quick, friendly service. Would definitely return.
Panang beef, Pad Se-Ew chicken, and Praram crispy duck were all amazing, flavorful and the spice level was on point. Love this place! Whenever we have guests in town who want some Thai, this is one of our goto's
Pear did a great job

beautiful ambiance for a date night. took my partner here for his bday. Our waitress Bee was kind, informative and extremely proficient. There wasn’t a moment I had to ask a question before she covered any of my thoughts lol she also sang happy birthday with me. Can’t complain. Will come again simply because of her.

We arrived around 9:30 PM and were told there was a one-hour wait for indoor seating, but luckily we got an outdoor table right away. We started with a beer and a cocktail—both were spot on. For appetizers, we had the coconut calamari and the papaya salad, both delicious. Our mains included the Massaman chicken and another dish I unfortunately don’t recall the name of, but they were both fantastic. We finished with the mango sticky rice—so good! Tory, our server, was lovely and very attentive. I’d definitely come back, especially with a reservation to enjoy the beautiful interior.
