    My friend wanted take out from here. So we ordered Pho($13), Chicken and Beef Pad Ka Pow($11), and 6 piece Baby Spring Rolls ($5). Right now they are only taking to go orders. While I was waiting for my food to be prepared I went and checked out the connected grocery store. they have sone great item as! Pretty much anything you can think of. The owner was very nice and helpful. I will definitely be back. It took about 15 min for my food to be prepared. The Baby Spring Rolls were delicious! I liked the Pho but I wasn’t a fan of the meat so I think I will order it without meat from now on. My friend also really liked her Pad Ka Pow! I will definitely be back.

    Pretty delicious food! Got the pad thai and a spring roll. It was a little sweeter than I like so I'll get extra spicy oil and request spicy next time.

    Used to be an eat-in table service family restaurant pre-pandemic. Now you order at counter and you can eat your take out food at the few remaining tables, which was fine. The pad kee mao (see photo) remains the same delicious flavorful dish as before with perfect spice and basil. Crab fried rice and spring roll also very good. Service was quite efficient.

    Grocery side was okay. Smaller but has a good selection of Southeast Asian products. More and better selections than the larger Asian grocery stores around the Columbus area. Price was reasonable. Tighter space. A little disorganized for me but was able to find most items I needed. The restaurant is interesting. Great food. Descent portion and the quality was good. Service was okay. Everything comes in to go box. Order first and then you can eat inside but the restaurant isn’t configured for dining in. Its focus is take out, still in COVID protocol it feels like. Tables are stacked. Bubble tea was great. Pho was surprisingly great! Could use some spice, but there isn’t much of a service that I was able to request for. Wished they have a better dining presence. Here’s my advice. If you understand Asian service, dine in might be okay for you. If your worldview is only as wide as Columbus, you should do take out or even go elsewhere.

    This is a great hidden gem. The best Thai food I've had in Columbus and the prices are cheap! You get so much bang for your buck. It's a small restaurant, very casual. There are lots of pictures on the menu which make it easy to try something new. The servers are very nice. There are two entrances because there's a grocery store one one side. Make sure you go to the right door.

    Got the Pad See Ew combination. Very good, next time I'll ask for extra sauce!

    We randomly came across this place on Google and since it is nearby we decided we wanted to try it. The young lady behind the counter was very nice and extremely welcoming and took our order. We also got 3 vegetable spring rolls (not pictured) and all of this food was an extremely great value at a grand total of $38 for takeout. When we took the food home and heated it up just a little bit everything was so good and extremely flavorful and the portions were huge. My only recommendation for people who do not like spice is to ask if they can lower the spice level in the papaya salad because it was extremely extremely spicy. Otherwise everything was very delicious and we will definitely be back.

    Finally found the best pad Thai in Columbus-- most authentic by far. Take out only right now, was ready in 15 minutes. Spice level 1-4 (4 was perfect, but they do give you extra chili oil to add if you like).

    this thai place is OFF THE HOOK. precovid, indoor, feb 2020 review this place is reallly really really delicious. i think it's the most authentic one can get in the middle of ohio. it's big and spacious with a lot of sitting AND IT GETS BUSY FAST cus it's really good. (lots of asians so ya kno it's fabulous) and customer service was great from what i remember. the food came out in a moderately short time so cheers to that. OFC this place does NOT play around with heat and spice--AS IT SHOULD BE !!! ya kno thai people can take the heat so i super appreciative that they stay true to their culture. so i got the shrimp curry with a heat of 2? LOL i'm weak ok but it still hurt lowkey but i still love. my portion was decent but my friends got HUGE PORTIONS THAT TASTED AMAZEBALLS. LIKE YOU CAN TASTE THE CRAB IN the CRAB fried rice blended very well with their spices and seasoning (forgot the spice level). while my friends pad kee mao was REAL SPICE (i forgot what heat they picked) BUT REALLY GOOD. super flavorful AND you can taste the wok hei (like you know it was cooked on high heat on a wok). i don't recall any really GOOD thai places in ohio besides bangkok. LOVE THAT THEYRE ATTACHED TO A GROCERY STORE TOO. YES. love ya guys.

    I was there from out of town and googled for Thai food and this place was most likely recommended. The establishment was very low key setting, your food for dining in was serve in a to go container, the food was good, I think they should maybe clear out the dining area and set more tables out for customers, most tables and chairs were stack on top of each other in the corner looking clustered. Just my opinion but most Laos and Thai place needs to step up their game and make it more welcoming.

    They don’t have fountain drinks in this place but they have true Thai food. Spring rolls are always the best. Good Pad See Eww. Many spices come to the table so you can adjust the heat as hot as you like. It’s very quiet and dim. Service is fast! So this makes a great lunch spot.

    The best Thai place in Columbus and one of my personal favorites. Tried a lot of dishes: pad Thai, coconut curry, pad see ew and all are excellent. Another perk, it’s affordable.

    Love this place they're always quick and friendly. Mama is my favorite Ramen brand, and they have so many flavors. Their tea section is 🔥. I will be doing a lot of my grocery shopping here.

  • 5/5 EL C. 1 year ago on Google
    This is our go-to grocery store for all the 'Caribbean accoutrements' we need to create our meals. Things that you won't find in the chain grocery stores, you will get here. They have SO MANY things; meat, fish, seasonings, tea, drinks, pots, rice, breads....just everything. I wish it were closer but that doesn't stop us from going, maybe just from going more often.

    Great food and service. Been coming here for years. Still no dine in unfortunately which is why I give 4 stars. So sad to see the impacts of the govt restrictions on small businesses.

  • 4/5 Robert M. 9 months ago on Google
    Decades ago, this was my favorite Thai restaurant. Not having been there recently (for years, really); I decided to take the family for dinner. We were surprised to find that traditional dinner service is no more. Now, if you want to eat in their dining room (among chairs stacked on tables) and a handful of folks waiting for carryout, you'll eat out of carryout boxes. We ended up taking it home, so we could eat off plates and share. I think COVID really hurt them. The atmosphere and service I remember are gone. The food is still very good (maybe a little greasy, depending on the dish). Try the Pad Ke Mao.

    If you're looking for a great Thai restaurant in town, look no further than this gem! From classic curries to stir-fries and noodle dishes, there's something for everyone here. One dish that stands out is the Pad Ka Pow, also known as chicken basil. The flavorful mix of chicken, basil, and spicy sauce makes for a truly delicious meal. And at such a reasonable price, you can't go wrong. Overall, this Thai restaurant is definitely worth checking out

    THE BEST shrimp pad thai you will ever eat. This is all I get and it has never failed me. Also it’s connected to their store which is very smart business wise because while you’re waiting for your food, you can shop for more food lol.

  • 5/5 Marc S. 6 months ago on Google
    This place is amazing and I'm kicking myself for waiting this long to check it out. We tried the fried chicken wings, Penang curry with tofu, and Pad Kee Mao (drunken noodle). Everything was delicious! Can't wait to come back and try some of the other menu items.

  • 1/5 Previa L. 6 months ago on Google
    Nothing to brag about when it comes to dishes. If you are a serious thai food lover, then you'd be disappointed. This place won't make it onto your top 100 list. They need to take "thai" out of their menu. I ordered thai soup noodle and spicy chicken pad prik. Both were not good. To be honest, "NOT GOOD", is somewhat understatement. Go try for yourself. On the hand, the deserts in the cooler were absolutely delicious.
