Decent food and friendly staff, but the prices are too high for what you receive in return.

My first time here and the vegetable spring rolls and pad Thai are delicious. The man who took my order guessed my spice level perfectly and everything couldn't taste better. I'll be going back plenty of times after this and I'm really glad it was recommended to me.

I love this restaurant! I come to the Newport News location even though it’s further from my house, because they’re so lovely there and the food is always very good. My husband’s obsessed. We love the drunken noodles, and the curries are solid. The beef salad and coconut soup were also good! They’re really good about adjusting the spice level too. Also one time I spilled my Thai iced tea all over the floor and the guy was super super nice about it!

We stopped in for lunch after some shopping and everything tasted delicious. Our order was promptly taken and food came out hot and fresh. The decor is authentic Thai style and much better than most Asian restaurants. Definitely would go back. I gave a 4/5 because the couple behind us kept letting their phone ring and it was incredibly loud and annoying.

Very good Thai food with great portion size. I'll be back! Not anymore!!!!Well, I've been back several times, but today, 2/1/24, what happened!!! Prices are higher! Quantities lower! Lunch portion for dinner menu. Here's a pic of my yum salad that came in a small plastic container with 3 half slices of cucumber, 1 slice of onion (if that), 2 lettuce leaves that were all rib, smaller plastic cup of rice, and hardly any sauce. Horribly disappointing. Pad See Yu has about 3 or 4 shrimp and no sauce ( hubby not here to count shrimp yet). Grandson said 4, maybe 5, shrimp and hardly any sauce on the pad thai. They used to be good.

We stopped here for lunch to go on our way to Busch Gardens and were SO pleasantly surprised at the quality of our meal! We got veggie spring rolls, steamed dumplings, vegetable pad see ew, vegetable basil rice, and side of white rice for my picky eater. Everything tasted freshly prepared and very flavorful! Great vegan and vegetarian options, just ask for no egg. Will keep this on the list for future stops :)

This was my FIRST time trying this recommended restaurant. Ordered the pad Thai with several meats, and the portion was great, the flavor was bland. Then I ordered FRESH Spring Rolls with shrimp. They were filled with mostly lettuce, grated carrots, noodles and 1 shrimp, maybe 2. Will NOT go back and will NOT recommend going. EXPENSIVE for what you get.Disappointed. Langley Thai is way better!
