11 Oldest Charlotte Restaurants Worth Visiting | Eater Carolinas

"This place is for when guests are craving the comfort of the warm embrace of herbs, spices, and coconut in Thai cuisine. The small dining room feels more like a living room — casual, friendly, and decorated with hanging umbrellas and even a gong. The menu isn’t reinventing the wheel; it’s a trusty list of sweet, sour, and spicy dishes like green and red curries, drunken noodles, and a scattering of sometimes fried, sometimes saucy starters. And the tom kha soup is bound to heal. While this is a popular takeout spot, the atmosphere is really worth dining in for. Opened in 1988, this East Boulevard fixture was actually the first Thai restaurant in Charlotte and has rightly endured." - Kayleigh Ruller
