A Taste of Thailand Restaurant

Hands down THE best Thai restaurant on the West Bank and east bank. Everything is so good here and I have not had anything bad. They have a condiment container on the table which is great, with crushed peanuts, dry pepper flakes and chili oil. The service is good, even though it's normally only one server. There are a lot of booths that can sit 4-6 people. Their pad Thai is literally the best Crab meat fried rice is so good as well

It's changed a lot! We did take out this time. Food is really good. It's kind of a hidden gem in the Westbank.

Solid Thai food in a casual setting @ extremely cheap prices. The service was phenomenal & we ordered 2 appetizers, 2 entrees, and a specialty drink & only had a $40 bill after taxes.

I gotta rave where a rave is due! I am very picky about my Thai food and I must say, a Taste of Thailand did a fantastic job! I give kuddos to the delivery service for bringing my food to me piping hot - just how I like it. I ordered the crab rangoon, panang curry with chicken, pad woon sen with tofu, and Thai fried rice (with no green onions). My order was perfectly packaged and the food has been delicious! Portions were plenty and I feel like I got my money's worth. I look forward to trying some of the other classics too and maybe do some dining in.

EVERYTHING is amazing! I've ordered from here at least half a dozen times and it has never disappointed!

So let's get into a A Taste of Thailand. Had a nice date evening here last night. The atmosphere was nice and quiet. No music but that's fine if you would like to have good conversation. Server: Naan. She was prompt and friendly. She also was knowledgeable about the menu and flavor profile. The food: We started with the bang bang shrimp and the crab rangoons. Both were really good. Could have used more sauce with the bang bang shrimp but the cook was really good and the breading was yay. Entrees, I had the drunken noodles with combo proteins. Spice level was hot. It was super good almost great. The highlights were the spice level was perfect. The beef and chicken were cooked great. The drawbacks the shrimp were just okay and I wanted more noodles which I didn't feel like I got enough of. My Fiancée has the pad Thai spice level medium with the combo proteins. I can't give a full breakdown there but the taste I had was pretty damn good. Desert: We had the fried bananas and ice cream which was spectacular. The ice cream did melt fast because they put fried bananas in the ice cream so I would get it there not to go. Pricing: The pricing was fair and definitely worth it. Everything listed above was around $60 Overall 8/10 A Taste of Thailand

Hole in the wall . Foods very tasty, flavorful, portion very generous with the price that the place has . Excellent service. Absolutely is a good place for your hungry tummy .

Second visit to the restaurant for lunch. Absolutely love the Pad Kah Pow (chicken). The Tom Yum is also very tasty and nicely presented. The small serving is more than generous. I am looking forward to a dinner trip and a chance to wander through some other sections of the menu. Service was quick and very polite. Will absolutely be back.

Great food, great service, great prices . Authentic Thailand food,owner/chef. Plenty of parking. Lots of tables and booths.

This is my first time trying and I'm so glad i stopped by, just wanted something fast to eat but didn't know what and now I'm a forever customer. I thought the server turned the closed sign in my face but she put the sign up saying they were closed in 40mins. Glad I didn't just get upset and let my emotions take over before opening the door. I had to apologize to her because I felt offended and she apologized to me. She was very nice even brought my food out to my car with a drink. I will definitely be back. Not only for that reason I'll be back because the food is so tasty and fresh.

I just ate here with my family. It was so good!! We did three appetizers, 2 full meals, and a kids meal. We are definitely coming back!! The service was excellent and when they brought our ticket we even got candy!! This place is a win.

Service is always great. Food is delicious. All the cuties are flavorful and have the perfect amount of spice. Pad Thai with glass noodles 9/10. Great flavor and filling. Drunken noodles 10/10 delicious. We love ordering take out from here.

OMG! This place is amazingly good and I am still thinking about my meal and can't wait for an excuse to order takeout from here again!!! I was selfishly debating if I should keep this place a secret but my loyalty to telling people about good eating spots won out over my desire to keep this hidden gem all to myself. If you like Thai food, you have to put this on your list!! I have tried Thai all over the metro area and on a whim decided to give this place a try since hubby was running an errand over on the West Bank. I was a little unsure what we would get after I ordered but seriously, this is the most delicious Thai I've had in a long while and will be my new go to choice. I previously had another go to spot but unfortunately they changed their menu and I've been disappointed ever since. Don't pass up this whole in a wall! Okay so what did we order that is making my mouth still salivate?!?! Panang Curry - amazing flavor and a good amount of veggies. We went with the chicken and I loved the thin slices. My only tiny disappointment was that the container of rice was pretty small so you may want to ask for an upsize if you like a lot of rice in your curry. Crab Rangoon - The best I've tasted in the city! Loved their unique wonton shape and the addition of green onion to the cream cheese filling. Pad Kee Mao (Drunken Noodle) - I am a Drunken Noodle addict and loved the freshness of their version. Plus it had lots of fresh veggies making me feel a bit healthier about my decision. I chose this time with shrimp and they were great too. Kids Fried Rice Meal - okay this is an amazing deal. It was a huge portion and came with a side of fried chicken bites. I can't believe how much food we got to only $5.95!! (See pictures) Fried Shrimp in Blankets - the dipping sauce was my favorite part of this appetizer. I debated if I should include this in the review since it was kind of the least impressive item. BUT we still ate all of them! :)

Excellent hole in the wall Thai place! Large portions with lots of meat and flavor. We got the fried spring rolls, Penang curry and pineapple fried rice. It was so filling. The place was clean with friendly workers. All the tables were spaced out nicely. We were the only ones in for a Saturday lunch but 3-4 ppl came in for take out. Worth the trip to terry town to check out!

3rd time having the Hot Red Curry. The first time I had chicken. The last 2 times I had shrimp. Both were DELICIOUS. It was ready on time and I was even able to drive 20 minutes away and it still be piping hot once I sit down to eat it. Highly recommend.

We love it here!! I always get chicken fried rice and Pad Woosen! Always fresh and the best Thai place I've had on the Westbank

Staff is so friendly and remember us when we come back! Food is always fresh and tastes great.

My fave Thai spot in the city. I try a new dish each time, but my faves are the tofu pad Thai and the green curry.

Everything was delicious! Price is reasonable. It was a little hot in the restaurant but I did come on a day that they had a heat advisory. The level of spice I got was, Thai hot. I felt it could've been a little spicier. Just go here if you're on the West Bank.

First time visiting and the the place is really cute, the food is extremely spicy so be careful because I ordered medium heat and I couldn't eat it so I can't give a full review on taste lol the appearance of the food is nice. The waitress could be friendlier and check on you after she brings the food, you have to walk up to pay. I will definitely try it again and ask for NO SPICY lol

The food was soooo good! I got pad thai. The mango and sticky rice was really good and the mango was perfectly ripe. The service was amazing.

Really great local spot to Terrytown. Service was quick, food to go was hot & vented as to not get soggy. Not crazy about the filling for the gyoza, but it may be Thai style and I'm not familiar with that. Crab Rangoons were really yummy, but small. Pad Thai is full of flavor. Really yummy.

This is my favorite restaurant. I come here almost every day and if I don't come every day it's because I've already spent all my money with them. The food is not overpriced at all though. it's always fresh and the place is super clean inside. There's always the same lady who works at the front and she is so nice and her son is always there with her. One time I walked in and there was a monk inside creating art for inside of the restaurant. Favorite dish is the pad see ew with shrimp and tofu. It's literally amazing. The food is so good and fresh you can eat it cold

We ordered: pork satay, fresh spring roles, drunken noodles, pad Thai, spicy basil fried rice. Everything was delicious. It struck the right balance of flavorful without being obnoxiously salty, sweet, or spicy. Lots of flavorful herbs mixed in. The peanut sauce had a hint of something real nice, but I couldn't put my finger on it. The portions were large. I've gotten into the habit of portioning take-out meals into Tupperware, so I don't overeat (something's that's very easy for me to do). So I think this'll be enough food for dinner and lunch for tomorrow for the two people. We filled at least four or five Tupperware containers. The service was excellent. We ordered at the restaurant and it was ready in 20 minutes. I'll be going back to this place often.

Expensive and mediocre. I paid about $16 for my shrimp pad thai which has become awfully standard in New Orleans. But that's a whole other conversation... The sauce of the pad thai is what really throws the whole dish off. I could taste the siracha the chef put in the sauce and there was not enough tamarind flavor coming through. The shrimp was nicely cooked, but I wish there were more pieces of tofu. Sadly, I wasn't able to try more dishes as this was a quick lunch pick up. I probably won't be back though because at American Thai places, I usually base my opinions on the pad thai and the tom yum. TLDR; this not legit. You gotta go to Harahan for affordable, delicious Thai.

5 stars because there is nothing that isn't perfect about this place. Just had lunch there. Service was outstanding & was only outdone by the incredible food. Ordered Pad Thai with tofu. I usually am ladylike & will eat 1/2 & take the other 1/2 home. I ate the whole thing. I don't live anywhere near the restaurant, but will go out of my way to go there again when I'm on the West Bank.

We went here for lunch on a whim. I am so glad we did. We ordered the Tum Kha Gai soup and steamed dumplings as appetizers. I ordered the Chicken Pad Thai and my husband ordered the Drunken noodles. Both were excellent. The service was a little slow but the food made up for it.

I love Thai food. I was really excited to try Thai at this restaurant because it's on the westbank (I'm a west banker) however, I was disappointed. I ordered the drunken noodles and it was so dry and unappetizing. The portions were large but I couldn't enjoy it even if I wanted to. I plan to give it another try by getting something new! So I'll review again if it's worth it.

We found this place in a very hot day working in NOLA... I was around the neighborhood and was looking for a place to have a good meal, trying to avoid all the fry foods easily found in any corner of NOLA, I saw this place near my location and decide to give it a try it.. we were pleasantly surprised by it! First thing I would like to say: this place offers very good food for a good price! The place is hidden and because of the dark glass front, it was difficult to see from outside if there were tables and people in the place. We walked in and the place was empty, the staff was very friendly and since there was so much room, immediately let us choose our table lol, they offered water and gave us the menus. We had Taste of Thailand Tom Yum Soup, spicy but bearable, super tasty and it was a big portion. We also ordered Golden cashew with chicken and it was delicious! Served with rice on a side it was sweet and tasty. Both were served with a salad and by the time we finished we didn't have more room for dessert, but next time I'll check the options and also the different drinks. The place is clean, the bathroom is clean too, the decorations are a little dated and I am surprised there wasn't more people around, it is in my opinion one of the most delicious Thai food I have had around here. I recommend it and I'll definitely go back to try more dishes!

The Tom Kha is delicious. I had the chicken. The broth was delicious and had big chucks of fresh mushrooms, bell peppers and onion. Also ordered the drunken noodles beef and a tofu. This was not the best especially for the price. It was spicy without much flavor. Will be back for the soup for sure. It was easy to order and pick up on my way home from work.

This place looks like a dive from the outside and a bit form the inside but they put a lot of energy where it really counts in putting out some flavorful food. I usually stick with some standard simple dishes when exploring a new Thai place and they delivered with a nice coconut soup and decently spiced drunken noodles. The service was adequate and they kept my drink filled. Overall it was some decent Thai food at around the current price point most of the other places are running. Overall it is a decent place on the Wank to grab some Thai food.

I'm a sucker for Thai food but rarely eat it because for some odd reason I always forget it exists!! This place is a good alternative to Banana Blossom if you wanna try a different Thai restaurant on the westbank. I forgot what I got the first time I came here, but the second time I came I got the chiang mai noodles. The dish was very flavorful, and keep in mind that it is a curry so the soup is creamier/heavier than your typical soup dish. I really enjoyed eating it though. I think the noodles are egg noodles and they also add crunchy noodles on top (not much). A good bit of onions (which I placed on the side), lots of chicken, lots of flavor! It comes with some garnish on the side. I added a tiny bit of the chili and one lime and it was perfect! Had a nice kick with the chili. I'd definitely get this dish again!

I came here with my husband and parents. The reviews were good so I was excited. Unfortunately the food and service didn't measure up. The service was minimal- we had to ask for each little thing, and things that should have come without asking. For example, my parents got the whole fried fish to share. When it came out, the waitress did not give them any knives. We called her back over and asked, and she brought them one butter knife to share between the two of them. They were sharing the fish and scallops, but just had tiny plates we used when we had appetizers to eat off of- the waitress did not bring them fresh/larger plates. Things like that happened throughout the meal. As we ordered, they were out of two items- pork ribs and Lodi bread. We got spring rolls as an appetizer- these were over-fried so they were a little too hard but the flavor was okay. My parents got the scallops appetizer and the whole fried fish- they said the scallops and fish were good but the vegetables with the fish were basically raw. My husband and I got the Chaing Mai noodles- which we love! Here though, they were strangely bland. I have never had bland Thai food before! The curry part was good, but didn't have that deep/complex flavor. But the noodles, vegetables and chicken in the dish didn't have any flavor on their own and weren't really soaking up the curry flavor well. We had to add soy sauce and salt- it almost felt sac-religious doing that to the curry. Overall we were disappointed :(

My husband and I were very pleasantly surprised by A Taste of Thailand. We live very close by and always drive past it. The outside could honestly use a makeover but everyone knows the best food is always found at the hole in the wall joints. We've only gotten takeout but really enjoyed their pad Thai and curry entree. Those are usually my go-to dishes when I order Thai. Both dishes had a lot of great flavor and we finished every bite. I'm looking forward to ordering from here again and trying their other entrees!

Very nice restaurant setting with amicable sevice and delicious food at very affordable prices with lunch time specials that are generous. Their crispy rolls are a must, so it is their spicy Thai rice. I added beef to compliment it and was delicious. The PadThai a stir fried rice noodles, tamarind sauce, egg, onion, bean sprouts, peanut, and pepper was super.

A little out of the way, but I was on this side of town so I decided to give this place a try! We were the only people dining during lunch, so it was really quiet and our food came out pretty quickly. Complimentary salad - just a small salad with ginger dressing, I'm assuming. I've heard a lot of great reviews about the papaya salad being THE BEST in the city. So of course that was the first thing I ordered. Papaya salad ($7.95) - I did not like this at all! It tasted like something I don't even know how to explain. But! When I asked for more chili/spices, my waitress brought out spicy papaya salad sauce and it made it taste a lot better and a lot spicier. My dining companion said he thought this dish was just okay and that he's had much better elsewhere. Definitely not the best in the city. Tom yum w/ chicken ($8.95) - the seafood/shrimp option is $12.95. But anyway. The portion is huge! I was wondering why the price was a lot higher than other places. I got a little over 4 bowls of soup out of it. It was very flavorful and had a slight touch of spiciness. Whole fried fish (red snapper) ($15.95) - the tilapia option was $11.95. My favorite dish. The sauce that accompanies it is sweet. The fish is fried with the perfect amount of crunch! And is surrounded by veggies. It was pretty big too. Reminded me of how my dad fries fish at home (without the sauce). Pad kee maow (drunken noodles) w/beef ($8.95) - this price is for the lunch portion. Not sure how much it was for the dinner! Huge portion for a lunch special! Said it was supposed to come with an egg roll, it didn't. But no biggie. It came with a lot of veggies, which I loved. And had a lot of Thai basil and I think that's what made the dish so good. Thai tea ($2.50) - way too sweet. Wish I would have asked her to add more tea too to balance it out. But since I didn't, I won't complain. I asked for spices and our waitress brought out chili powder, chili oil, and the spicy papaya salad sauce! I like that I didn't have to distinguish which one I wanted.

We ordered here with Uber Eats today, as it was the very first time we've tried this restaurant. The food arrived hot and every dish was amazing. I'm so happy they are open on Sundays! We cant wait to try new dishes. My favorite was the beef drunken noodles, even though the beef was a little dry, I'd love the dish without any protein actually. The pad Thai and drunken noodles had just the right amount of spice and heat. The crab fried rice was delicious! The best part, was dessert. After the heat, the mango sweet coconut rice rolls were perfect on the pallet. Great food! We will definitely order from there again and want to visit then actual restaurant soon.

I just ordered delivery from here off a 3rd party app. Food is pretty good! I ordered 2 appetizers & 1 entree. Crab rangoon's, Gyoza & Chicken pad Thai. The rangoon's are amazing with the sauce, the gyoza was really good but I would skip the sauce & the pad Thai was really good. I did ask for a side of peanut sauce and it didn't come so that was kind of disappointing, but it will still good without it. I also got a Thai tea that was super amazing. all & all it was worth the price and it was alot of food, i'll definitely order again. Flavor was awesome.

I would give it a 4-1/2 stars, but the app only gives us options for whole stars. The 1/2 star demerit is just for the slower service and that's all. The waitress was welcoming and friendly. We had the chicken satay, Tom ka gai, green curry and pad thai... all were very tasty and the portions were generous. The restaurant is simple... well lit and clean. Plenty of parking.

So my sister wanted some Thai food after watching the Saint game. We found this through Yelp and the reviews were a mix but we still went there. Not sure if it's because of the game or not but we were their only customers when we got there. We were greeted and seated. Our waitress was really helpful in suggesting us what we should try. We started out with two Thai Tea and Taut Mon Pla (Fish Cakes) for appetizer. The Taut Mon Pla was really tasty. It's a red curry flavoured fish cakes with a side of sweet chili sauce. I would recommend ordering a side of rice to go with it. Next came out was the Yum Woon Sen, Glass Noodle with shrimp as our protein choice and tomato, onion, pepper, cabbage and mint. That salad was my favorite of everything we ordered. Finally our two last dish came out the same time was the Chang Mai Curry Noodle and the Pad Kee Maow (Drunken Noodle). The Chang Mai Curry Noodle was tasty with the spicy curry with chicken and noodles but I'm so sure why or maybe the Noodle was too over cooked that I didn't care for. The Pad Kee Maow was really a disappointment. The noodle was under cooked and salty. I usually would have ordered the Pad Thai but the reviews on Yelp got me not to get it. I would suggest to ask them for extra utensils if your are sharing. All our dishes came out without it's own utensils to share.

We were in the mood for some pad thai and decided to give this place a try. We dined in and ordered the beef pad thai and it was one of the best we've had! Fresh ingredients and spicy. Will be back and would definitely recommend to give it a try.

Loved it ! I just moved to this area been here 2 times definitely recommend food is amazing

Really good food here. Came on a Monday afternoon and it wasn't too busy but a few couples showed up after I got there. Interior decor is nice and cultural. I had the baked mussels, Tom ka soup and basil fried rice with chicken. All were delicious. I asked for spicy and wasn't disappointed. Not sure if I will try Thai hot next time since the heat was satisfying with regular spicy! Great place! Give them some business.

I saw a 4-star Thai restaurant so I decided to try out. Only looking from the outside, you wouldn't want to come inside! But once you come in, the decoration is nice. The reason why I give this place just 1 star is that the service was extremely bad!! My boyfriend and I were served by a waitress and a waiter. Both of them, from the moment we sat till the moment we left, never smile! Omg I don't know what happened to them but it makes me feel like we're unwelcomed! They asked us what we want and then bring the food out without saying anything (i.e. "Enjoy!") They never swing by to ask how things are going or filling our water! The food is meh... 3/5. We had seafood pad Thai and for the price, the portion doesn't make up to it. Overall, I don't recommend anyone go to this place. You should go somewhere downtown...

A very non-assuming exterior, I almost missed it when I drive by if it wasn't for the sign they placed closer to the road. We were greeted when we walked in, and while the waiter was quiet, was very polite and I could tell the restaurant has paid attention to previous comments about their staff. In picking this place I had scrolled through and seen many a review describing unfriendly staff who didn't talk after taking orders and never brought more water or anything like that. The restaurant seems to take it to heart because the waiter made a point of greeting us, bringing us more water when the food came out, and made sure to stop by and ask how the food was. The inside has light decorations with some fabric, paintings, and plants, nothing crazy elaborate, but had a nice, calm feel. We ordered the crispy egg rolls because they were out of crab rangoon, and ordered the chicken pad Thai and green curry chicken. My husband said it wasn't the best pad Thai he's had (he's stayed in Thailand before so I think he was just being picky), but I enjoyed it and liked that they enough extra crumbled peanuts on the side! As for my green curry chicken, its a very plain presentation with a bowl of curry and the rice on the side, but the flavors WERE impeccable! Rich sauce, spicy, but not dangerous, a very nice warmth and richness of flavor... Was still craving it 5 hours after we left. The place was reasonably priced at around 9-15 an entree, and is definitely a good place to try if you're tired of eating the same old same old and want to mix it up a bit!

The food here is delicious We order from here at least twice a month The Drunken noodles and Panang Curry.

I've been to Taste of Thailand quite a few times, almost always at lunch. My favorite and go-to dish is the Pad Thai, however, the most recent time I was somewhat disappointed. A well-done Pad Thai can taste different with every bite, sometimes the brightness of lime is the highlight, while other bites may focus on the shrimp or peanuts or green onion or red pepper or carrots. This time, the sauce was overpowering everything else and the noodles were gummy ... I think the owner/chef was distracted this particular day with entertaining her toddler-age grandchild. The restaurant was not busy that day and the focus was more on family than food.

I've heard so many good reviews about this place and was so excited to try it. I went with a party of 4 around 2:15pm. There was only 2 other people in the restaurant at the time. We ordered 2 chicken pad Thai, 1 beef pad Thai, 1 chicken drunken noodles, and a shrimp Tom Yum soup. We ordered all the noodles to be spicy. Food: it wasn't HORRIBLE, but I found it mediocre. I did like that the pad Thai was more on the wet side versus being too dry to eat (except that 1 chicken pad Thai was DRENCHED in sauce). It was too sweet for my liking. The drunken noodles didn't have any flavor besides some spice. The Tom Yum soup was also too sweet for my liking even after squeezing the lime in. I was expecting more of a sour spicy flavor. Service: our server was a kind friendly man. Although he was super nice, it didn't seem like he knew what he was doing. The first time he brought two plates to our table that actually belonged to the other table. The second time he brought our correct food, but only brought out 3 of our noodles and the 4th was actually never relayed to the cook to make. By the time the 4th plate came out, the other 3 in our party practically finished eating. I'd also like to note the kind gesture that the server made by giving us a complimentary salad to make up for forgetting to put in the order. Kind gesture but it was a sad salad. It was a lettuce wedge with some orange sauce on it. The lettuce was old and red/pink on its edges. Overall, I was super disappointed. Not sure if I just came on a bad day or not. Unfortunately, I didn't take any pictures of the food to post.

I had the fish cakes. They tasted very rubbery unfortunately. I haven't had them before though so maybe that's how they were supposed to taste.... who knows. The dipping sauce was good. I also got the pad thai. I've had my share of pad Thai so my expectations might have been a bit high. The pad Thai was VERY sweet, which was strange. I didn't finish it and I don't waste food but it didn't taste like pad Thai. The service was great though!

Okay, here goes... I've tried this place when it first opened and I can tell you that if I rated this place based on my first visit I would probably give it 2-3 stars BUT I am so glad I gave this place another try. Being pregnant and craving Thai food, I ordered 10 minutes before they closed for pick up (yes, I know...) that's not even the worst part. They closed at 9 and due to some problems that occurred I could not come get my food until 9:40! As I walked in, the cook (wife) and her husband were sitting on the counter with my food. I felt so bad but they didn't make me feel uncomfortable or bad for them waiting so long. I assured them that will never happen again! I order a pad thai chicken and a green chicken curry with extra bamboo shoots. The food was so much better than I remembered! The pad Thai was flavorful and enough for me to break into 3 meals! The curry however was my favorite. It was more yellow than green but it was oh so good! Will definitely order the curry every time now. The prices are fair compared to others around the city. I am so glad this place worked out its growing pains. I will be seeing them more often!
