    It's hard to find really good Thai in this city and I've surprisingly found two great Thai places on the Westbank. This location is a little out of the way if you don't live on the Westbank, but I really think it's worth checking out if you're craving Thai. Click here for photos: chefsgirl.com/atasteofth… We ordered the Spicy Chicken Pad Thai, Green Curry, and 3 Flavor Fried Fish. The pad thai was very flavorful but was a tad bit too tangy or sour. I've been twice this past week and tried 3 different curries. My favorite was the Green Curry. There's just something so wholesome and flavorful about the green curry and A Taste of Thailand does it so well! The 3 Flavor Fried Fish is SO good and it reminds me of mom's fried Tilapia. It's super crispy! It appears to be family-owned and there's a super sweet Thai lady who always comes to talk to you when you dine in. The restaurant location isn't the best and is kinda off the beaten path. I wouldn't have known about it if it weren't for a friend's recommendation and I am so thankful, because it's definitely one of my top two favorite Thai restaurants in the New Orleans area. What I'd like to try next? The Satay Scallops.

    This is now my boyfriend's favorite local Thai place for PAD THAI. He's from Austin Texas and every city we visit, we always try different pad thai's. Yes, his favorite one was from Thailand when we went in 2011, and although this isn't exactly it, he said this one is pretty good. They give you a large portion but the price is kinda high for it (13$). That won't stop him from getting it often though. I got the 3 flavor whole fried fish. Pretty good. I wouldn't get it next time Bc I wanna try other dishes but I would get it again one day. The owner is so very sweet. She can't speak fluent English, it is kind of broken, but came out and attempted to greet us anyways. After we chit chatted for a few, she brought out a complimentary dish that she said was her husband's favorite! It was a slow cooked roast like dish (beef) and wasn't just a taste! It was a pretty large portion! She's so sweet. I got the mango roll for appetizer. The rice and mango was so good! I wouldn't prefer it wrapped in rice paper but it was good anyways.

    It's always fun to write a review for a new restaurant. This is a Thai restaurant in a little non-descript building. The location is easy to miss unless you are really looking for it. It's just past a curve and the sign is not traditional restaurant style. We went in just as they opened at 11 a.m. on a Saturday. We were the first customers of the day; and we were seated immediately. The staff was very polite and seemed ready to work. The inside is very clean and cute, decorated in warm colors with a tasteful sprinkle of Thai decorations and live plants. There are some televisions and the restaurant just has a comfy feel to it. I loved how they had beautiful yellow fabric draped over some of the ceiling; it gave the space a more intimate feeling. We had our drinks almost immediately. The free hot and sour soup before your meal is some of the best that I have ever had. It has just the right amount of flavor and heat. Our entrees were ready quickly. I had the chicken Pad Thai and my husband asked the chef to surprise him, after a couple of quick questions to determine basic preferences, he ended up with some pineapple fried rice. I tasted some of it, and it was delicious. My Pad Thai was a bit spicy, not nose run spicy, but noticeably so. The noodles were cooked well and everything tasted fresh. I especially liked how the nuts were on the side so they could be added as needed. It was a bit different that other Pad Thai I have had in the area, as it had a reddish sauce. I'm not sure what the seasoning is, but it was very good. I am a noodle texture snob, and I have to say that this was right on. We both enjoyed our meal, and decided that we will go back. Next time, I am headed for that curry. I am looking forward to it.

    I saw this restaurant while driving down Stumpf Blvd and pulled in to try it out. So glad I did! It's my new favorite - I can hardly wait to come back! Every dish was uniquely delicious. Some of the best Thai food I've ever had!

    I didn't want to be the first person to review this place because I didn't want their first review to be 1 star and as much as I wish I could give them 2 stars, I would be lying if I did so. We have been drooling over the idea of this place opening for over a month. Because in all honesty, New Orleans NEEDS a good Thai place. Sadly, this is NOT the place. We stopped in on their 4th (I think) day open. We were actually heading to a different restaurant, saw that it was open, and turned in. The space is different than the Mexican place that used to be there, but one of the dishes truly tasted Mexican. Nothing near the balance of good Thai food. We were greeted and seated fine. As we went to order though, things started to go downhill. I like to try a selection of apps at any new place. I figure that if the apps are good, the rest would be good. Plus, at 12-15 bucks per main, I didn't want to waste that much money on lunch if it wasn't amazing food. First, no tea...All canned sodas or water. Then, half the items we ordered were not in stock including Crab Rangoons and coconut shrimp. But we were able to get papaya salad with shrimp. At $7.95, it's a bit expensive for an app but figured the shrimp would make it worth it. We also got the Taste of Thailand Satay Scallops. Again, at $7.95, it was a little high, but scallops and asparagus are a little costly, so I get it. What we got was a very unbalanced papaya salad with NO shrimp, no peppers and no peanuts. So basically some papaya, carrots and 4 pieced of old looking tomato (I thought it had been boiled at first). The satay scallops were actually bay scallops. You know, those little bitty things that taste sort of spoiled fresh from the market. Yeah. 3 of them and no Asparagus and the entire thing tasted like scallop fajita mix. There was no balance, no play of sweet, salty, savory, nothing. It was about a bucks worth of scallops and some onions. I think they skipped the sake as well because it had no sweetness to it. It really just tasted like bad Mexican. The entire amount would'd fill up a sincle corn tortilla. I pointed out the missing shrimp to them and they comped the salad (we ate about 1/3rd of it...just had no real flavor to bother with). I didn't have the heart to tell them about the Scallop dish. I know they were trying hard and I didn't want them to feel even worse at that time. I doubt we will give them another try. I wish them the best, but maybe hire a better cook who actually remembers to put stuff on the plate. And if I can give them one major piece of advice, it would be this: DO not open your doors if you do not have the food stuffs to make the dishes on your menu. Make a small, soft-opening menu so that your customers don't spend the first 5 minutes of their visit being told that what they want to order is not available. That kills the mood and makes them less likely to let other things slide.

    Excellent!!! Second time here and will be back. Beef Panang and Pad Thai the best in town!! Spicy drunken Noodles were a perfect heat level!

    Summary. The other Thai places on the wank are better... With that said, menu is basic, nothing creative/unique, although the do have Pho oddly. Started with coconut shrimp. Large butterflied shrimp. Little greasy. They werent the best coconut shrimp I've had, but they were good. Meals were Tom Kha with Chicken. Personally, I didnt care for it. The coconut milk was bland and watery. There were huge pieces of hard inedible lemongrass that you had to be careful not to bite into. The Ginger Fish was good but could be better. The peppers could have been sliced thinner. The sauce wasn't at all spicy even though the waitress indicated spicy. Overall it was ok. I wouldn't go out of my way to go here but if you're in the area, its a decent option.

    I went to a friend's house to watch some playoff hockey and we ordered in from Taste of Thailand. I had the combination Pad Thai (chicken and shrimp), and I also tried a spring roll and some of whatever he ordered (I can't remember what it was, just that it was spicy). I also had some of the soup that's not always available (I think it was spicy chicken-coconut soup). Everything I had, I enjoyed. I even put some of my Pad Thai into the soup to make a flavor explosion!!! I'm not really that big on Thai food, but I liked my dinner that night (the wine probably helped)

    I don't really even know what to say. I am basically speechless at how amazing my red curry combo was. You can tell they are having some growing pains being new, new staff etc, but I didn't deduct stars because the true test of a great restaurant is how they handle challenges and obstacles. Very professional, kind, genuine service. The food...well i'm stuffed and I am still thinking about how I can go back. Right now. Eat more, maybe move in. Can I work for food?! Good job guys. You will do great. As far as the negative comments...come on people. You can't walk into a place that has been open for less than a week and expect perfection. That being said, from what I saw, I am confident that if I had ANY issues, and had brought them to the attention of staff/owners, they would have been taken care of. Give people a chance to correct problems, they might surprise you (:

    Been three times this week ! Scallops were cooked to perfection everytime :) I will say it is a bit pricy, and they play it safe with the flavors on Entrees . I love this little place I'm sure it will work out the growing pains, much better than other so called Thai on the Westbank.

    You definitely should try this place. They are good people. They are brand new so there are some growing pains but I think it will turn into a 5 star place. Try the crab cheese rangoon. I am a snob about rangoon and found this one of the best I have had in the area. Food is spicy even without the spice symbol so beware.

    Nice decor, quiet restaurant. Have had several dishes and the best I had was the glass noodle salad (very spicy), American chicken strips and the panang curry. Would highly recommend those. Would completely avoid the pho and pad king (tasted more like fast food chinese than thai). Spring rolls lacked flavor. Pad thai had spice but lacked flavor/salt and padwoosen also lacked flavor. Generous portions. Overall, the prices are way too high for the lack of quality. No entrees under 10 (not even at lunch). No small soups (all over 7.95). While the owner likes spice, overall the food is too bland. Very nice people, just could probably benefit from a paired down menu and liven up the dishes with more flavor rather than spice.
