The atmosphere is so cute and clearly put together with love. Customer service is excellent, very kind staff and they take care of you throughout your meal, ample water and drink refills and whatnot. Food is good, a little mild in flavor and spice, but not bad. Prices are very fair too. Food could be better but for the prices, excellent service and clean/cozy atmosphere it's well worth supporting.

Very nice atmosphere. The food was excellent! The service was great! I would highly recommend this restaurant. It was nice to have a different style of food to choose from. It was my first time trying a Thai restaurant, and we will definitely be going back! Thank you for such a great experience!

Travelled to the area for work and found this gem. Went twice in a row for dinner. Both food and drinks were delicious. They were all nice and pleasant to talk to. Place was clean with lovely decor. Highly recommended.

We had a wonderful experience at Thai Bistro Bar. Air was our server and she took really good care of us. Very attentive and friendly. The food was absolutely amazing. We were so happy to stop by from Southern Illinois. We'll definitely be back again. #yum 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

We started with Boba Tea, soda for me and the Spicy Thai appetizers. Then ordered a shared meal of Massaman and Pumpkin Curry. It was well prepared. It tasted incredible. Everything was cooked perfectly. Veggies were soft but had a crunch. The meat was so tender. I recommend this for everyone who wants a great meal!

Friendly fast service. Food was hot and fresh. Excellent experience. They make amazing sauces. The sweet soy, I could drink by the bottle. The cucumber dipping sauce, just fill a bathtub with it cuz it's that's good. I also had a taro milk tea but they use real taro so there is a grainy texture that I couldn't wrap my tongue around but it tasted great! If you are looking for some yummy Thai food, I recommend giving this place a try!

We have been long time fans of Thai Papaya. And once this location opened we couldn’t wait to try it. We were not disappointed at all. The atmosphere is beautiful. The plants and decor feel so upscale but also cozy. The menu items were familiar, they kept some of our favs. But had some new choices as well. We will definitely be continuing to come to Thai Bistro on a regular basis!

I've been traveling a lot of late, and have tried several times to have some Thai food. I finally had a great meal! I had the Panang Curry. And an order of Pad See Ew. Both were good sized helping. You still need to watch how spicy you like it. I like the spice and ordered lvl 6. It was mild for me but with the luck I've had lately I thought it best to be cautious. I did get to speak with one of the cooks, and let him know how good it was. Keep up the good work! It was a great surprise to find.

I have been to this place before and now I am Reviewing it. The service is always fast and friendly, and the waitress made sure to really take care of me. The singha was on special for $4, which is fantastic. The building is in a strip mall, but the inside is cute and authentic. Try this place!

This place is a must when I'm in Evansville! The food is to die for. It is the best comfort food ever! The staff is beyond friendly! The owner is great! The decor is fabulous and inviting. Good for families, couples and friends. Love the name change also! Can't wait to revisit.

First time eating at Thai Bistro. We are seasoned Thai food connoisseurs and we were quite surprised to receive one curry dish medium spice that was on point, and the other curry dish was also to be seasoned medium. It was so spicy, I started coughing the first bite in my mouth. I asked our server if something could be done. Instead of offering to redo the dish, it became all the reasons why I was wrong and the chef was right. They supposedly did something to "calm" it down, but I still couldn't stand it. You will get a very, very small serving of rice and pay $1 extra for a few pieces of chopped chicken. Also, do not go when they open because apparently they do not prep before opening time. We waited 35 minutes for two curry soups and only two other people in the entire restaurant when we ordered. I love to give good reviews, but this was a huge disappointment. Ambiance: there was distinct sewage smell in the front part of the restaurant when we arrived and when we left. That should have been a "sign" not to eat there at all. They could improve on customer service.

Love this place. Crispy pork belly appetizer is a must have. Pad Kee Mao is probably as good as it gets for the area.

Ate here today for the first time, and it won't be the last! I had the Pad Thai, and my husband had the Pad Kee Mao (Drunken Noodles), both with chicken. We also ordered a couple spring rolls. Everything arrived quickly, and was hot, fresh, and delicious! The restaurant itself was beautifully decorated, clean, and inviting. We did have to wait a bit for drink refills, but other than that, the service was excellent! Highly recommend!

The food was good but I ordered the lettuce wraps. They seriously used frozen vegetables with the chicken. Not impressed and it tasted like frozen veggies. Disappointed.

Excellent experience from the time we walked in the door; service, decor, food. Literally every person working (and a couple younger kids who happened to be there) greeted us hello, thanks for coming, hope you enjoyed, etc. Really wish the place was closer to where we live, but will definitely make the trip to come back.

Had a basil dish with minced meat (beef). Upped the temp to hot. This was fairly mild compared to what I was expecting. More like a 3 on a 1-5 scale. Also had the chicken satay but the peanut say was more like peanut soup. It needs to thicker, so it's able to cover the chicken.

10/10 the yellow curry is soooo good! Our waitress was really nice and always checked on us:)

Charming decor. Nice big space. Lunch specials provided enough for leftovers. Both the red curry and the Tom Kha had excellent flavor. Heads up, the fresh spring rolls come with some kind of honey sauce instead of the usual peanut sauce. The honey sauce was okay, just not the peanut sauce we love and were expecting.

Best food I have ever tried in Evansville. As a California native this is the place to go for the best quality

What a lovely surprise. First time coming to this restaurant. 10/10. Staff were very helpful, food was amazing, and so were the drinks. We got pad Thai, drunken noodles, peanut curry, curry wontons, and pork dumplings. It was very clean inside and decorated adorably. It was an unexpected finding for the area it was in. I'll definitely be back!!

In my first visit here a few months ago, I tried the chicken satay and yellow curry with beef (spice level medium). The peanut sauce on the satay was very runny, with bland flavor. Likewise with the yellow curry sauce -- super thin and runny. My friend wanted to try out this restaurant, so I came here a second time, repeating the meal choices I had before. This time I asked for a spice level of "Thai hot." It was more flavorful than "medium" but the sauces were still extremely runny -- more like watered down soup instead of a sauce. Very disappointing. If I had a good option, I'd be eating Thai food three times a week -- but this restaurant is NOT a good option. I don't recommend this place. Service is good, but the food is not.

I discovered this gem at lunch and had an excellent meal at this delicious family-owned restaurant. The service was terrific and our server was able to guide us through the spice levels. I had the Red Curry lunch special, medium spice. The heat level was perfect, but I could've gone for more spice. The space is open and comfortable with lots of seating. Also, they are open on Monday when everything else in Evansville is closed. I highly recommend this spot.

The food was delicious. The Tom Yum was the best I've had and the bowl is so big! We also had dumplings and spring rolls which were delicious. Definitely would recommend this place! Service was great and the atmosphere was very nice and clean.

I ordered on DoorDash for pickup. Receiving my order was quick and easy. The food was great. The inside of the restaurant was a vibe. Overall great place, and probably the best Thai food in the Evansville area.

Ordered online and picked up Gai Pad King (Ginger Chicken) under stir fried options for entree. Also ordered appetizer of Moo Ping (3 Pork Skewers) $26. May have been less had I ordered over phone vs online (Grub Hub-pick up) Taste was good on both. Especially liked sauce that came with skewers. Service was great. I got there a bit early and expected to wait a bit for completion of order. Walked in and was immediately helped. Second waitress asked again if I had been helped. Restaurant was BEAUTIFUL with a garden area with plants, nice, wooden seating booths, and modern, sturdy tables. Ambiance VERY NICE. Only complaint has to do with amount of food for price. TBH, after finishing meal back at hotel, I was left feeling hungry still. Also sauce on entree was not thickened but watery

Nov. 9 Dinner: Great service, Wonderful menu, Food was fresh, tasty and temperature was hot. You can order your preferred level of spice. Brewed Ice Tea and Liquor license is coming soon. Huge clean, modern restaurant.

I was really excited to try this place because it's been awhile since I've had some great pad Thai. They just moved to this location and the inside was clean and well decorated. The pad Thai was just ok for me. It was way too sweet for my liking with no spice level. It was a great disappointment. That said, this is just my opinion and my boyfriend loved his spicy fried rice.
