12 Best Thai Restaurants in Richmond

“Absolutely enjoyed trying Thai for the first time! The food was delicious! This will be my go to spot every time I'm in Richmond, VA.“

“Delicious food, mediocre service and 0 stars for not being friendly to kids. Would not recommend bringing your kids here as you’ll get lots of eye rolls and passive aggressive attitudes towards your children. Also asked for a replacement Thai iced tea after mine came with coconut milk and was supposed to be half and half and serve was very clearly frustrated and offered zero resolution other than “being out of half and half so that’s all we can do”. Will just order carry out next time so we don’t have to deal with the poor service.“

“OMG!!!! I love soup , especially Wonton and I had exactly that. That was the best flavor explosion 💥 that I’ve ever had. The broth, the perfect wonton, the delicious oversized noodles 🍜, vegetables. I could go on and on.“

“We visited last Friday around noon after spending time at the Library of Virginia. We were the first ones in. The place was pristine, full of light, and roomy. The server was attentive. We ordered and the food was brought to our table pretty quickly, which was good because we had another site to visit. The food was wonderful, absolutely delicious! The next time I visit Thai Studio I will venture into more spicy dishes. The chef was very happy to hear we enjoyed the food, flashing me a generous smile when I complimented the meal. It was a great lunch. I hope to return soon. (Note: the only change I might suggest is to lower the volume on the music.)“

“The staff were very nice and polite! The restaurant itself was rundown so if you are looking for a fancy place this isn’t the place for you. The food and service is why it’s a 5 star place! My son got the spicy noodles and barely broke a sweat. He loves spicy food so I couldn’t tell the spicy food enthusiasts if it was spicy or not. My fried ginger rice was great! I enjoyed it and even had enough to bring home for leftovers. I would visit them again.“

“Probably one of my ALL time favorite Thai restaurants. I always order to-go and their curry is massive and absolutely DELICIOUS (the green, red and Panang). Red is my fave, but green is less spicy if you prefer that. It’s honestly even better the next day after all the meat and veggies have soaked in the curry. I usually get with chicken or tofu. Their spicy minced chicken with garlic is also a hidden sleeper but the flavor is PHENOMENAL. Spicy, but you won’t be able to stop eating. Their rice soup is a nice go between if you’re eating spicy dishes. For their noodle dishes, you can pick pretty much any dish you want and it’ll be amazing. Just be aware the wide noodle dishes might be a bit dry so ask for extra sauce. Lastly, they’re probably better when dining in, but the blueberry egg roll dessert does not keep well during travel! I think they also use the same oil as their savory dishes to fry them and you can tell. But overall, this restaurant slaps and is well work your patronage !!“

“Food and service is always great 👍“

“Good location Great Food“

“Their Pad Thai chicken (extra chicken and. O peanuts !) is my all-time favorite, and I’ve worked my way through all six spice levels over the years. They offer a range from American mild, medium, and hot—then step it up with Thai mild, medium, and hot. I usually go with Thai spicy medium, which brings the perfect kick without overwhelming the dish’s flavor.

Another standout is their curry chicken with yellow sauce—rich, comforting, and a great change of pace when I want something different. And let’s not forget the crispy spring rolls—every time we’ve ordered them, they’ve hit the mark.

My wife and kids order different dishes than I do, and while I can’t speak to what they eat, I can tell you they always leave happy.

If you’re craving authentic Thai food with consistent quality and flavor, Tip Thai never misses.“

“I have eaten here before and now 2 years into Covid. The food is exceptional! I have also had them cater for my job, they were very accommodating and helpful! Everyone Loved the food! This is a local business so please support them!!“

“My partner and I happened upon this place by accident as we’d had a reservation elsewhere but the staff was terrible.. it was meant to be because Mayu was amazing. Truly.

The vibes were immaculate. The staff was friendly and welcoming. The food was genuinely some of the best I’ve had in carytown.

It took me a second to get the theme of what was going on but once I did I loved it even more. The food came out very fast and everything, legitimately every bit, was fantastic.

We got 2 beers, 2 appetizers, 3 sushi rolls, and split pad Thai.. it was only $75.. and the quality was remarkable. The cucumber salad is so good we tried getting 4 orders to go. The sushi was fresh and well made. The pad Thai may be my personal favorite in Richmond.. I didn’t realize the person bringing us our food was actually one of the owners and what a gem of a human he was.

Above the bar played an anime movie and the wall decor matched. Its subtle anime theme works so well. I just can’t recommend this place enough.

Seriously.
Go. Tonight.. tomorrow night. Daily.
Once they open at 4 today I will be ordering a bunch of that cucumber salad to go.“
