Sila Authentic Thai Restaurant

I could have sworn I left a review while we were in the restaurant because I wanted to get out my opinions fresh. Well, I'll just make a new one. My husband and I love Thai food, the more authentic the better (spicy is the best). I don't remember what he got but I got the green curry with chicken. It was amazingly good and there was so much food that I had plenty leftover for another meal (as did my husband). Service was friendly and attentive. I'm just taking off one star because the restaurant itself isn't very warm or inviting. It could do with a remodel. But this didn't detract from our meals in any way

Sila Thai Restaurant beckons patrons with promises of very solid Thai cuisine. Having frequented several times to this non assuming establishment, I am been wanting to share my impressions, particularly on several of their dishes: Kra Pow Kai Dao, Pad See Ew, and Papaya Salad.First on the Kra Pow Kai Dao dish, a common Thai street food dish that is as comforting as it is flavorful. Sila Thai's rendition of this classic dish brings great flavors of fried eggs crowning a mound of fragrant basil-infused minced beef or chicken or veggies. Such a blend aromatic flavors, with the rich yolk of the fried egg adding a creamy indulgence that complements the bold spices of the basil and chili. It's a dish that showcase the Thai flavors.Next, the Pad See Ew, a stir-fried noodle dish that exemplifies the delicate balance of sweet and savory flavors that Thai cuisine is known for. Sila Thai's interpretation of this is so enjoyable, with slightly charred flavor rice noodles coated with a savory sauce. One of wife's favorite, the Papaya Salad, a refreshing and vibrant dish that serves as the counterpoint to the rich and savory flavors of the previous courses. Sila Thai's version is a delightful mix of papaya, tomatoes, and peanuts tossed in a tangy dressing. In conclusion, Sila Thai Restaurant in Rock Hill, SC, is a nice little gem that delivers on the taste of Thailand. One of the more enjoyable Thai restaurants in the Metro Charlotte even it feels bit like a hole in the wall. Whether you're a seasoned Thai food enthusiast or a curious newcomer looking to explore the flavors of Thailand, a visit to Sila Thai.

Always happy to visit Silas. Authentic, delicious and amazing. Great food, good service and nice ambiance.

Food was delicious and hot. Smallish portions. Service was dismal. While very nice people, one waitress for the entire room just isn't enough. Food was very slow to come out. Ordered two appetizers and 15 mins after the first came, they came to tell us they didn't have the ingredients for the second. Then quite a wait for our meals. Maybe we will try again. Not sure. Just wasn't the best experience.

Was craving Pad Thai and finally stopped by and got some ! It was so so good ! The service was amazing everyone was so friendly. I came in for Lunch. The food came out hot and fresh !It also came with your choice of soup or salad ! (Not pictured) I will definitely be back !!

My husband and I were visiting family in Rock Hill and we were surprised to find a Thai restaurant with such great reviews so we had to try it. We are so glad we did! We got the pad see ew, Tom kha, mango sticky rice, and the warm coconut pudding. Everything was so delicious! Definitely on par with some of the good Thai restaurants in LA which is where we live. I'm so glad we found Sila, we will definitely come back whenever we are in the area.

I was thrilled I found this Thai food here in Rock Hill as I have really been missing my dose of pad Thai. The location is easy to get too and plenty of parking. Although I ONLY order Pad Thai, my wife is more adventurous and has tried several dishes here. Like me, she has enjoyed them all. The Chicken Pad Thai is in my top 10 of all Pad Thai I have had so that says a LOT considering I usually try it at 4-5 new places each year. Keep up the good work and we appreciate the quality of food and service here.

Sila's gets my vote for best Thai in Rock Hill. There's another place that isn't bad, maybe slightly more economical. But, we have been over charged, and then found out at home too far to go back that 2 of our entries were missing. But, Sila's has impeccable Customer Service. They are sweet and personable. You can tell it's very important to them that you enjoy what you are ordering. The Dishes are excellent. They rival or best anything being served in Charlotte, anywhere. I didn't know about them for a long time. It's like a secret little treasure that the true Thai Food Enthusiast eventually ferret out of those in the know... I have never heard nor read anything bad about them or their food. Trust me, if you enjoy good Thai Cuisine, you want to give Sila's a try. But, don't tell too many people. I usually get takeout, but we don't want the line to get long. Actually, there's rarely been a time that our food wasn't prepared in a timely manner, especially when we call ahead. Trust me, try Sila's!

Was looking for a Thai restaurant and found this one on yelp. Really nice and the so-taffy was so sweet. We will be back.Best so far we found in the area

This is a modest, retro-looking restaurant with great ratings in Rock Hill...and I've been here once a few years ago with my husband. I remember liking the food, but thinking it was way too spicy. I just remember using up several tissues to calm my eyes and nose. Thought I was going to die lol! Honestly, it's the intense spice level that scared me into not returning all these years.I tried to visit them a month ago, but it remained closed for indoor dining...and I'm not big on take-out or in-car dining (unless absolutely necessary). Anyway, this place is now finally open for indoor dining...so I swung in to try their Pad See Ew lunch special, which came with a choice of salad or soup...and an order of Thai Iced Tea. Though the Pad See Ew with Shrimp plate was rather small in portion, it was less than 12 bucks! So Yes, their lunch specials are super-affordable. Their Thai Iced Tea was also rather skimpy, but all-out delicious!This time, I clearly asked for a 3 out of 5 spice level, as in Medium Spicy...yet again, it was spicy as HELL. My nasal cavity nearly exploded, and I cried a little. OMG?? I really don't know if they offer dishes THIS spicy to everyone, or just to people like me that are Asian. I tend to think the latter...'cuz there is simply no WAY non-Asians can take this level of spice (if THIS hot at level 3)??? From ALL the Thai restaurants I've been to in Charlotte (and beyond) - and I've been to many Thai restaurants!! - the dishes I've had here have been the spiciest (even at level 3!). It's a shame 'cuz if they can modify the spice level, the dish would have been super delicious! BTW, despite how "retro-looking" the place may be, I did notice that they had an "A" sanitation grade! Also, their service was really good, and the food was freshly prepared and delivered quickly. Honestly, given their authencity and the convenient location, I would LOVE to give this restaurant all 5 stars...but each and every time, their spice level nearly kills me. I may give them one more try in the future...but next time, I'm going to go with 1 or 2 out of 5 spice level.
