Charm Thai

Cute spot in the East Sacramento area. Good service. Big flavors. Large portions. Definitely sharable. It's small so not good for large group dining. There's really only one large table. They have an old school AC system which ice has to be added so it can be a bit warm inside during scorching triple degrees. Back to the food. The two of us shared the chicken saute, pad Thai and eggplant with fried tofu along with a side of rice. All of it was tasty. We had leftovers after stuffing our faces. We both enjoyed the Thai iced tea as well. This is a place I'd visit again for sure. Cheers to the hole in the wall, Mom/Pop type restaurants because those are the ones I love supporting.

The food is amazing, the service was great, honestly have nothing negative to say about this place. Our favorites were definitely the dessert and the drunken noodles. The yellow curry was the best we have probably had in Sacramento. We will be back.

The first time we got takeout, we tried the yellow curry, Thai fried rice, and cashew nut stir fry, all gluten free since my husband is allergic and it was all so amazing!! We felt like it was the best Thai food we have had in a long time. The second time we got the same food, we noticed a significant taste difference. I'm hoping it's just was one-off because we did really love how the food turned out the first time.

It's worth the drive! The quality of the food is much higher Standards than others l've tried in the area. Must try Eggplant stir fry! If you're not an eggplant fan give this a try it may change your mind! Absolutely delicious @ Tom Kah soup is creamy and delightful. Great atmosphere and very nice owner

Wonderful food! We ordered a la carte: pad thai noodles with chicken, Thai fried rice with chicken, yellow curry with chicken, and the stir fried vegetables (no chicken😂). For appetizers, we shared egg rolls and spring rolls. Everything was on point! Nothing negative. The fried rice was one of my favorites. Very tasty. Loved it with the yellow curry over it. The yellow curry was coconut milky goodness. No spice, which we looked for the kids. I'm sure you can order to the spice you like. The stir fried veggies came in a delicious sauce that went incredibly well over white rice. The pad thai noodles was okay. Not negative, but okay. The peanut sauce did the spring rolls was delicious. Overall, wonderful place to get your Thai food fix. Definitely would come back and recommend.

This is some of the best Thai food in Sacramento but it is also the most expensive at almost $30 per dish before tax and tip. For two people ordering one appetizer (Thai spring rolls), two entrees (pad see ew with beef and papaya salad), and no drinks, it was close to $100 after tax and tip. Their food quality is worth it though. Everything tastes homemade! I also like that part where they present the check in a little metal bowl at the end. It’s classy.

This place is amazing 👏. The food is on point! Our server Tyler is the most kind and attentive server you can ask for.

Locate in a small strip mall, I found it hard to get in and out of. Also, minimum availability of street parking. The business is only 6 months old. However, the tables are beat up, scratched, and sticky. They had a floor fan to cool the place down. The food was full of flavor, and the portions were large. The homemade spring rolls are full of lettuce, very well presented, however, not worth the money. The service is good and friendly. We will give them one more chance.

We had been looking for a new Thai restaurant because... let me tell you. WOW! The authentic flavors, the generous portion, the amazing friendly fast service (Tyler), the clean/elegant yet inviting ambiance, ample parking. They use ingredients that we see lacking in many modern Thai restaurants. Not pictured bc we devoured it immediately- pad see ew + papaya salad. Both 5/5. We highly recommwill + plan to definitely return!

Charm Thai is really close to my new house in Sacramento, and we were starving after a day of moving and unpacking, so we decided to try it out. It's a tiny place, and most people seem to do takeout as there was a constant flux of people stopping by to pick up food. Besides us, there were only two other small parties dining in. However, the staff were super friendly and attentive to all customers. Let's start with the good. The eggplant dish is amazing! I've never had anything like it before, and I've had a lot of Thai food in my life. I think what makes it a little extra special is the drizzle of coconut cream, maybe, to finish the dish (see photo). So, it's not quite like a full-on curry but it offers some yummy creaminess to the dish. My partner and I were raving over this dish and fighting for the last spoonfuls of sauce. The pad see ew was also good, and I loved the use of Chinese broccoli in it instead of regular broccoli. My kids did not like the Thai iced tea, saying that it wasn't sweet enough. I had a sip and agreed with them. Ironically, though, I thought the rest of the dishes were maybe a little too sweet, so it seemed odd that the drink was not sweet enough. Overall, I think the dishes here may be too sweet for some folks, with not enough balance between sweet and sour. However, for sure we will be coming back for the eggplant dish!

I recently dined at this Thai restaurant and had a wonderful experience. The ambiance was warm and welcoming, with tasteful decor that reflected Thai culture. The staff was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. The food was the real highlight. I tried the Pad Thai, crispy pork belly, and Lao style papaya salad, all of which were packed with authentic flavors and just the right amount of spice. The ingredients tasted fresh, and the presentation was impressive. The flat baskets decors in the ceiling makes this restaurant feels like home to me since I am Hmong and have those baskets in my own home too!

Food was delicious. We ordered drunken noodle, curry puffs and eggplant dish. Loved them all. Will come back to try more

Found this spot on Instagram and had to stop by! I loved the food. One of the best Thai spots in town. We had lunch here on a Sunday. Liu, our hostess, was kind and very welcoming. Decor was trendy. For appetizers we had the curry puff pastries with chicken. AMAZING. The crust was moist and buttery! For entrees, we ordered the ginger stir fry with chicken and the eggplant delight with pork. The sauces were delicious with the right amount of spice. I requested fresh chili fish sauce on the side. I appreciated the fresh lime and Thai chili in it! We ate everything with white rice. Soooo yummy. Highly recommend!

AMAZING service. This place needs to be busier. The interior design is so cute. The place is kept very clean. Their portions are large. The menu is concise. Loved their thai tea.

Authentic Thai food that reminded me of the time I spent in Thailand! We had the Thai curry puffs, shrimp pad thai, pineapple fried rice, chicken basil stir fry, and for dessert the mango sticky rice with coconut milk on top. Everything was delicious and the service was good. I also liked the decorations inside and on the ceiling. Whenever someone asks me for a recommendation for Thai food now, I always recommend this restaurant.

The food here was great! It's a small restaurant but it wasn't too crowded when we arrived, and my husband and I were seated right away. The server brought us a bottle of water and the table was already set with water glass, plates, and cutlery. It's a casual atmosphere, and we caught them mid undecorating from Christmas still. They took our order quickly, and the food didn't take very long either. The flavors were delicious, and you could tell the food was fresh and high quality. We had the Yellow Curry with a side of white rice, and the chicken Pad Thai. We will definitely be coming back here. It's probably our new go to Thai spot!

I work down the street and stop by here every once and awhile when I didnt feel like packing lunch. Their service is SO good, always so nice and happy to be there. My favorite Thai food is red curry, I love it extra spicy and their Thai hot was exactly the way I like it sooooo good. I got their drunken noodle today for lunch with a "hot" spice level, not as spicy as the hot for the red curry but it can't out fresh from the wok so it was spicy and temperature hot! Got to come back to try more!

I got the drunken noodles w pork. Great flavor but the noodles felt a bit overcooked. It was also a bit too salty for me. Liked the sauce and garlic bits. We got our food in about 10 minutes and service was pretty quick. It's a smaller place with 8 tables, good for a casual lunch.

I was craving soup one Wednesday evening. Kept thinking what kind of soup I wanted and ding - Thai soup came to mind. I looked up Thai and wanted to check out a place I haven't been to, yet. Called to place a pick up order and the lady who answered was so friendly and nice. Told me the truth that the mango wasn't in season anymore so it might be sour if I got the dessert. I forgot to order a Thai tea but that's the perfect excuse to come back. I did a pick up order. I got the Tom Yum, Tom Kha, and laab. All hot because I wanted to see how spicy this place does it. It can definitely be spicier! But anyway: Tom Yum is sour and hits all the right notes. Tom Kha is soooo creamy and rich, smooth, and perfect. The ground pork laab is good, but I think there could be more protein provided. The cucumbers and cabbage were fresh, the right amount (not too much greenery that goes to waste), and crunchy. The food is goooooood. After a couple bites of everything, I made a promise I'd have to come back with coworkers, my boyfriend, my sister, or alone!!! Lol, this won't be the last time I consume Charm Thai's food. First time picking up and the parking lot is a one way to enter. Don't enter through the exit (like I did ) and Charm Thai is the corner spot, right off the ever so popular Elvas Ave. I'll do an updated review when I dine in!

I have been to plenty of thai food and almost every time I order Larb & Pad See Ew to see if I like this Thai spot. This place did not disappoint with that. Everything was delicious! I love how they give you sticky rice in the rice basket. Keeps it so fresh! The server here gives the greatest advice when it comes to their chili oil and homemade thai chili sauce! I would say comparable to the crack sauce hehe! They constantly check on you if you need anything else at the right time. Not too much but also not ignoring you completely. My only complaint is how hot it is in there. We've gone here often in the summer time. It is quite rough, specially if the fan is not pointed towards the dining area. Unless you like the summer heat! I will definitely be coming back here to keep trying more of their menu options.

Awesome find in a tucked away strip mall in East Sac. You are sure to find a cool vibe with great 70's and 80's music at this place. Table and padded surrounding seating with large windows and nice atmospheric design. The staff is welcoming and service is exceptional. We ordered the yellow curry with chicken. The flavor was exceptionally good, very fresh, and full of flavor. We We also ordered drunken pad Thai noodles which we requested medium spicy. The dish was absolutely amazing and great flavor, however, it was a little bit on the spicy side. I recommend maybe asking for light spice unless you want something that's very spicy. The servings were large and the price is very reasonable. I highly recommend this delightful restaurant. I will definitely be back.

Solid Thai food; hot and fresh. I would love to come back to try other dishes. I got their chicken pad Thai. The waitress is nice and friendly.

Great services, delicious food. we ordered pad thai, drunken noodles, 2 bowl of chicken wings and chicken fried rice and nothing failed. Great ambience and clean restroom! As asian i recommend this restaurant!

The first time we got takeout, we tried the yellow curry, Thai fried rice, and cashew nut stir fry, all gluten free since my husband is allergic and it was all so amazing!! We felt like it was the best Thai food we have had in a long time. The second time we got the same food, we noticed a significant taste difference. I'm hoping it's just was one-off because we did really love how the food turned out the first time.

Quaint little restaurant, with amazing food and wonderful service. Officially my new favorite Thai place. It's a place where I know I'll drive almost an hour just to satisfy the craving. We ordered all the normal favorites I try at other restaurants. Tofu Spring Rolls with peanut sauce Roti Appetizer (with a green curry dipping sauce) Papaya Salad Drunken Noodles with Beef Thai Basil Fried Rice with Chicken Everything was so flavorful and fresh! Loved our server too. Very accommodating, friendly and gave the best suggestions for dishes to try. We will definitely be back again soon.

What a fitting name for this cute little spot! Charm Thai has a simple and straightforward menu, which I appreciate about any restaurant. I went for the Pad Thai and Drunken Noodles, which were both DELICIOUS - full of flavor, cohesive without mixing together, and not overly saucy or dry. The medium spicy level gave both of these dishes a nice kick for me. My one critique would be the drunken noodles had less noodles and more vegetables than I expected, but everything was so tasty I didn't really even mind. On top of this, the service was excellent, which really makes a 5-star experience for me. Would definitely return and recommend!

The food was delicious! Little happy dance the entire meal. The staff were super friendly and had great service. We got the green curry and and pad Thai. I ordered the wrong soup, at my own fault, she was so gracious and took it off my bill. Definitely will be going back

Mmh .. was excited to get here but was kinda disappointed Pad Thai was not very good had a weird smell also lol The crispy tofu was very good tho I usually like pad Thai but this one I didn't like

Charm Thai is a great option for Thai food in East Sac! It's right across the street from Tupelo and has a parking lot for easy access. The inside of the restaurant is pretty small and cozy, but there is enough space between all the tables for comfort and easy accessibility! We ordered the garlic green beans as a side, stir fried eggplant tofu, and the drunken noodles with tofu and mixed veggies. Everything came out really fast because we went to lunch around 2:30pm. Our server was also so lovely and attentive. The garlic green beans were good, but I felt like they could have been cooked for longer because some were too chewy for my taste. The eggplant was delicious and cooked so well! I wish we had ordered it without the additional veggies, though, because there was more of everything else than eggplant. The tofu in this dish was also perfectly coated in sauce and just the right amount of soft on the inside and crispy on the outside. The drunken noodles were also good but on the blander side. We ordered both dishes medium spicy. This place is on the more expensive side for Thai food in the area, but it's definitely worth trying!

Visited on a Sunday evening and the restaurant was fairly quiet with plenty of seating. The lighting was dim which created a great ambiance with the aesthetic furniture and decor. We were quickly greeted, offered their menu, and provided with iced water. At first glance at their menu, their prices seem a little steep compared to other Thai restaurants in Sacramento but they offer lots of vegetarian and gluten-free options which are clearly indicated on the menu. We ordered their panang curry, pad thai, and basil fried rice, all with tofu. Our favorite had to be the pad thai! It was perfectly seasoned with the right amount of tangy, sweet, and savory. The panang curry was soooo creamy but way too salty for our liking. We were disappointed that there were no vegetables in the curry and only had tofu in it. The basil fried rice was too greasy but was very flavorful. Portions were generous and everything was beautifully plated. Would highly recommend trying their pad thai if you visit!

The food is awesome. Fresh and tasty! The service was quick and friendly. The ambiance is chill and welcoming. My friend and I decided to have appetizers so we can try different items. Food was definitely on point. My kids would love to eat here! If you get a chance - eat here! You will be happy!

I really enjoyed this place and have been here a few times. From my experience, they have different chefs . I ordered the pad Thai on a weekend and the pad Thai was vibrant in color, the flavor was really good and you can taste the tamarind. When I went on a week day I had gotten the pad Thai again and it was very bland. I could not even finish my plate. I noticed the chef in the back was not the same person as the previous time, hence the difference in food quality. My five star really comes from the service, I was observing the waitress on a cold windy day, the waitress tried her best to keep people away from sitting by the door due to the wind blowing in every time someone would come in. If by any chance someone sat by the door, she would move them closer inside so they don't get cold air blown in by the door. Of course she was respectful of where you wanted to sit as well but it showed that they really care about their customers and want them to have a great experience eating their food

Delicious authentic Thai food & vegan friendly. The vegan yellow curry & pad see ew were great.

First off the service was amazing, our waiter was so kind. Secondly the view and feel of the restaurant is amazing, you get an amazing sunset view while you sit. Lastly the food was vibrant, warm, and delicious.

really delicious thai food!! i loved both dishes that i tried at charm thai. both the pad see ew and green curry were amazingly flavored and had good portion size. the service was very friendly but there was only one cashier/server for the whole restaurant on a sunday night when there were around 5 parties. ambiance is super chill and casual. i would highly recommend and come back to try more dishes!

This is the cutest little place. Great service and the food was delicious. We love the pad Thai and the sweet and sour chicken along with the Tum Yum soup. Great little spot. Highly recommended!

-Customer service: awesome -Food quality: mango curry was great -Bang for your buck: rice was not included but price was on the high end -Would I return? Every now and then

I had a craving for Tom Kha and ended up here after a bit of research. The order was to go, but from what I saw, it's a hole-in-the-wall hidden gem kind of vibe. There were four different parties seated, so I assume it's a known spot for Thai. The soup was good, even though I didn't finish it all until the next day. I will be going back to try some other dishes.

Decent seating for a cute restaurant. Food was good but a little pricey for lunch. Our waitress was nice and attentive

Best Thai food in Sacramento!!!!!! Quality food good environment. Loved it!!! Will come back

So glad we decided to try out this place. The service was good, only about 2-3 tables were full on a Saturday night. I got the crab rangoons while my friend got the rolls. I did not taste the rolls but he seemed to enjoy them. I have had better rangoons, personally would pass on these and try another appetizer. For the main dishes, my husband got the mango curry, while my friend and I went for the drunken noodles. Beware, the food is spicy! The waitress told us the options were mild, hot, and Thai hot. My husband and I went for hot since we enjoy spicy food. Although we could eat our dishes, it was a bit too spicy for me to fully enjoy the meal. For drinks I got a Thai tea, nothing amazing but it was very refreshing especially once the spice kicked in. Our friend is lactose intolerant, so he ordered a Thai coffee with coconut milk. Now for the star of the show, the mango sticky rice! Not only was the presentation amazing, but it tasted sooo good! The mango was ripe, the rice was so sweet, 10/10. If I'm in the area again soon, I would stop by just for the mango sticky rice!

Visited a friend last week and we decided to try Cham Thai and I would say that you must try it if you haven't! The ambience of the place suited their cuisines very well. Food is on point although just a minor feedback on the price which I think is slightly more expensive compared to other restaurants that offer Thai food. We would still be coming back and will recommend this with my other friends and relatives. More thank 2 thumbs up!

Walking in the place is quite simple. We loved the coconut soup and chicken fried rice. We will be back again!

We did dine-in and I think they are still working out some kinks and shortfalls in the restaurant. There were not a lot of people dining in (only us and 1-2 other tables), but a lot of take out. Food was good, but came out randomly (5 eating, 2 came out, then 2 more, and mine was about 5 minutes after the 1st), and we had to ask several times for things. I do believe the staff was doing the best they could, but the pressure on the staff to do register/orders/etc., and all the orders coming in from take-out, seemed to stretch the staff too thin.

Authentic Thai food! If you're looking for Thai food that truly has all the bold flavors, this is the place to go! Staff is so sweet and kind. And if you love spice, your mouth will be watering. Had the opportunity to eat the drucken noodles and sliced beef salad. Best we've had, and we've eaten at various Thai restaurants all throughout California.

My new favorite Thai restaurant. Khao soi and green curry with roti. Coming back to eat more. Chef brought more Thai spice that made it even better!

We love Charm Thai! The food is delicious and the staff are amazing! We love the mango rolls, the basil chicken and the cashew nut chicken, which may have the best sauce I've ever eaten. We have never tried something we didn't like! It's a great restaurant all around!

Great spot, the owner was friendly and engaging, plus loved the food. Cozy place, so be ready to be close to the other customers. Very chill atmosphere and the place is clean. Can't say enough good things about our experience there.

The best Thai in Sacramento. The presentation, food quality and warm staff make this place our go-to. Tom Yum, drunken noodle and mango sticky rice are musts. Can't forget the avocado fresh rolls. Run, don't walk to this place! So good.

This is one of the best Thai places I've been to in Sacramento. The service was absolutely amazing the staff was very attentive. The food was soooooo good omg we had the pineapple curry, mango curry, and crispy shrimp rolls and we will absolutely be back for more! The Thai tea was also delicious! If you're thinking of trying this place you should!

Very very delicious and flavorful Thai food!! Definitely coming back! Our waitress was really nice. The chicken curry puffs appetizer is a MUST!! The dough is the perfect crispiness and the filling is great. Their curry has depth of flavors and the Thai iced tea was refreshing. Restaurant looks great inside too, I like the baskets on the ceiling, and chairs are very comfortable.

Enjoyed chicken pad Thai medium heat! Delicious with a kick! The staff is wonderful! Also enjoyed the coconut ice cream! Free parking! This place has the best Thai food in Sacramento!

Great experience! only my second or third time eating Thai food and i was very impressed. my MIL is a bit of a Thai food connoisseur, and she was very pleased with it as well. She ordered the Pad Thai and I got the Drunken Noodles. We also ordered the Crab Rangoons and the Papaya Salad to start. Everything was delicious, and the service was wonderful. Very attentive. Place was clean and the menu had a lot of great options! Highly recommend.

Great Thai place to try out! Order: Fried wing, roti with curry, Thai style papaya salad, pad Thai, & steak salad. Portions! Great portions for a Thai place! Ambience: Small but welcoming. Loved all the natural light that came in through the window. Parking: Small. Would be hard if it was busy cause there are other shops & restaurants around. Service: Quick & friendly. Overall I really enjoyed it here. The food was good. I Don't really care for sweet pad Thai but I've had sweeter at other places...maybe pad Thai is just not my thing. Liked to look & feel of the place & for was good but the best thing is their portions! Usually Thai restaurants give you so little for your buck that unless it's just you or you & a date, it's not worth going to when feeding a family. Usually a dish is like 2 small handful but here, it fills the whole serving plate!I would definitely come back here again. You should check them out too!

I've had 2 great meals from here. This is my new favorite Thai place. My go to is always pad see ew, and I love it from here. They use chinese broccoli and,(I chose tofu), fried tofu, and they stir fry the noodles with just the right amount of char that I love!! The peanut sauce is outstanding and I tried the egg rolls and they were hot and crispy even though I got them togo. The mango and sticky rice had 2 different colors of rice which made it look vibrant and it tasted so good I can't wait to eat it again.

I had possibly the best meal I've ever had at this restaurant today. The mango spring rolls and peanut sauce are amazing well as the chicken pad Thai. 10/10 customer service. Definitely will be back soon.

Came here for dinner at 7pm on a Sunday night. Restaurant was easy to find. Plenty of parking in the area. Was not busy. Was easy to get seating for our party of 8. Customer service was excellent! The staff were very nice. They offered to split our check when they took our orders. Food was delicious! I got drunken noodles with pork. The food was piping hot. The portion was huge (enough for two meals). And there was plenty of meat. The food was very flavorful. All of the ingredients tasted very fresh. I also got a papaya salad, which was similarly tasty. I also got a Thai tea too which was also very good -- excellent flavor not too bitter and just the right level of sweetness and cream. At the end of the night, the business owner came to check on our group to see how we were doing and was so so so nice. Such a delight and the highlight of our night. She was very nice and hospitable to our group. Love the vibe of the restaurant and the music in the background. This might be one of my new go to Thai places in the area.
