The Duck curry I had was one of the best dishes I have had in a very long time. It was simply beautiful. A lovely warm curry with very tender chunks of duck. I would be back often just for that dish. Easy walk from econolodge. Handled a large group walk in with ease and grace. The table side robot was amusing too. Highly recommend!

My wife and I had the Crab Meat Fried Rice and the Wonton Soup. Both dishes were super tasty and full of fresh vegetables.

Good for a quick lunch. Prices are good. Good service and close to businesses.

ThaiBest is a no-frills, traditional Thai restaurant located just outside the military base, and it’s a popular lunchtime destination for good reason. The place gets super crowded during lunch hours, so expect a bustling atmosphere with a mix of locals and service members grabbing a quick bite.
The menu is pretty standard, offering all the usual Thai favorites—pad thai, curries, stir-fries, and noodle dishes. While nothing particularly stands out as exceptional, the food is solid, portions are generous, and prices are fair, with most lunch specials around $15. The service is fast and efficient, making it a convenient choice if you’re on a time crunch.
Overall, ThaiBest is an okay spot—not a destination restaurant, but if you’re in the area and need a quick, affordable Thai meal, it does the job. Just be prepared for the lunch rush!

They’re ok. Not the best like they claim. The service was quick. I got the drunken noodles and they were a bit overcooked.

I ordered the chicken stir fry and asked for it to be extra spicy. I loved it! Great portion sizes and prices. When she noticed I was really going through it with the spice (which I love to suffer with spicy food), she brought me cookies to help. I hope she didn't think it was too spicy, it was perfect! My first time trying Thai food and im very glad I came here Definitely will be back.

I ordered the chicken panang curry and it was the best Thai food I’ve had in years. Hands-down this is THE best Thai food in the Norfolk/Hampton Roads area. Fresh, friendly customer service with authentic taste. I only wish I had found this spot sooner.

I often eat here because this is pretty authentic thai. If you are in the area, please try them. Recommend the green curry. Sweet staff too!

A hidden gem! Deliciously fresh food and Thai tea, with superb customer service. A great place to gather with family, friends, or just having a delicious solo lunch or dinner. This restaurant is exceptionally clean, their service is fast, and the food us freshly prepared. I enjoyed my chicken won ton soup, and my family enjoyed their spicy pad Thai noodle plates. You can select your level of spiciness, and level 3 had just the right kick to it!

Mediocre food for the price. The chicken in the pad Thai was sparse and dry. The sauce was too sweet. And the portions were fairly small. The salad was swimming in dressing. The egg rolls were overcooked. And service was slow. Will not be back.
I'm nor a fan if Thai food in general due to a look of them having a greasy aftertaste. This place was different. I had first tried it when my coworker got food from them. They had crab lagoons. They were thin, crispy, and easy to chew. It was delicious! Then, I tried their fish cakes and drunken noodles. Despite the fish cakes were dry, they had good flavor. They were spicy, and when paired with the holy garlic sauce, it made for a delicious pairing! The drunken noodles weren't bad. They had a slight sweet and lemony aftertaste. So different than the greasy aftertaste I'm used to. I'd go again to try the other food on the menu.

Ordered online. The portion size is a rip off. Total thievery. Hardly any food was provided. Never ordering here again!
