Rai Lay Thai Express

Incredible drunken noodles with chicken and vegetables! The sauce was so delicious and savory. Great service and incredible food. My friend had pad thai with chicken and she loved it. Located in food hall for Super G Pineville.

I HAVE to do this because I feel that eating here left me feeling SO scammed.First of all, I have tried Rai Lay at the South Boulevard location, and liked it (not quite loved, but enough to merit 4 stars?)...so I expected the foods here to be of the same caliber, or at least close to?Well, I got their Pad See Ew with Chicken and Thai Iced Tea...and at first I was surprised to realize it costed over 18 bucks. Yes, 18 bucks for a fast-food version of Pad See Ew Chicken and Thai Iced Tea (served in plastic wares-cups)! Then when I realized how ridiculously bad they both tasted (as in totally bland and flavorless!), I felt utterly scammed. BTW, by looking at pictures from other Yelpers, it seems clear to me that the foods here tend to be bland...like VERY bland. If you don't like spicy, maybe this is the place for you. Still, that somewhat defies the logic of Thai food...as in full on flavor and spiciness should be a given?So I had to pass on the word. Maybe it was an off day?? Whatever the case, I still got scammed lol. I will NEVER go to that vendor (let alone that restaurant) ever again. Here's a hint...If you go to Thai House just a few blocks down the street, you'll get a much tastier, higher quality version of same items PLUS Spring Roll AND Soup for the same price (or possibly even less - Lunch Specials)!

I found my meal here to lack in flavor. The plate was pushed out quickly but I've had way better pad Thai in CLT. The food was good, but i thought it could have been better

Pretty decent pad see ew, but a poor value. I paid something like $18-20 for the food, a water bottle, and a $2 tip. The receipt had me check a box for the tip and there wasn't a "$0.00" option but there was a "Other" option where you'd have to write out $0.00. I was a little flustered and felt forced to tip, which is annoying considering it's in a food court setting and I didn't get any service. I'd give it 2.5 stars out of 5, but that's not an option.

I was at Alley 51 and thought I would give this place a try since it was not busy. I tried two of my favorite Thai dishes: the pan won sen and Tom kha. However, what I received was a flavorless dumbed down version of each. The Tom kha soup was so sweet it was sickening. It was virtually straight up coconut milk. No lemongrass. No fish sauce. No spice. Not even lime. I had little hope for the stir fry. It was barely flavored with soy. I asked friends if they agreed and I was judging too harsh. They agreed. I ended up salvaging the dish by bringing it home and adding a bunch of stuff to it like ginger and chilis and oyster sauce. Same with the soup- I hate wasting food.

The PLAINEST fried rice I have eaten in my life. You can just tell the color. It had flavor to it (assuming for msg) so it didn't taste bland but idk who decided throwing on some chicken, onions and spring onions would make this into a fried rice. Very disappointing.

We wanted to check out Alley 51 and finally went on Father's Day. My husband is a fan of Pad Thai so we ended up at Rai Lay Thai. Staff was friendly and the food came out quickly. My husband got his chicken pad Thai and ate it up quickly. I got Pad See Ew with beef. There was a good amount of meat, veggies and noodles. It was savory and comforting - a hug in a bowl. I ate all mine in one sitting. I just added a little of black pepper. We got a side of plain jasmine rice for our little one. It was nice and fluffy. We would come back and check out their other locations.

I had some extra time before an appointment, so I decided to check out Super G Mart Food Court. There were so many different options, but decided to be simple and try Rai Lay. The staff was friendly and helped me choose what I wanted. I ordered the House Fried Rice with Chicken and Spring Rolls. The food was pretty amazing and fresh. They give you 4 Spring Rolls with a Thai Chili sauce and they were pretty good also.There were a lot of people trying out different spots but it was a great vibe. I had no issue finding somewhere to eat. I would recommend this spot and to try other restaurants within the facility!

Love the fried fish ! It is so crispy and so good! Definitely would like to comeback again!

Smaller version of their restaurant with a limited menu. The food is not fabulous but not bad. It's located in Alley 51 and worth trying.
