Cozy spot in Dilworth! It's been there since 1988 and is definitely a mainstay. We stopped in after wandering through a nearby art gallery one evening. We split an order of the fried chicken dumplings and each chose an entree. I'd never had Yum Woon Sen before and it was yummy! I would definitely order again. I added chicken, though you can pick your protein. My partner ordered the pad Thai, which was good as well. Service was quick and efficient. You can choose how spicy you want your food (1-5). Waitress was very nice. I also felt the prices were fair. Happy to have spots like this around town!

I really enjoyed my lunch here yesterday with a friend! We came on Thursday right at 12pm and were seated immediately. The location is perfect on the border of Dilworth and SouthEnd but one of the rare few spots with free parking! If you have time to stroll through Paper Skyscraper after too (the store next door) then even better.For their lunch menu, there are only about 6 entree options to choose from and each includes a small cup of soup, iced tea (they bring you a bottle of simply syrup to sweeten your own), and jasmine rice or noodles depending on the dish. I had the Gaeng Dang and my friend had Pud Thai. Both dishes were great. Her's was a little sweeter than I am used to, but I absolutely LOVED my coconut red curry sauce with a spice level of 4 (their spice range is 1-5). We already decided this will be a regular lunch meet up spot for us! I can't wait to return.

Cool spot to meet up for dinner. The steam dumplings are a must! I had the crispy duck in red curry. Level one spice was the perfect spice for the coldness outside. Friendly and efficient staff. Very cozy spot. And it was a quick service

Ordered pad Thai and Tom Ka Kai soup through DoorDash to be delivered to my hotel room. Obviously, asked for utensils and napkins. Delivery was quick and that was the only good thing about my order. Got zero utensils and zero napkins. At a hotel room! You've all had Pad Thai before and know what it should look like. Look at my photo - it's a glued together mush of overcooked noodles and some limp chicken. No sprouts, no peanuts, no green onion, no lime. Just tasteless glue that costs over $20.00. The soup was just a little better but tasted vinegary. No galanga, no hint of lemongrass. I called the restaurant and they asked me to text them the photo. Their excuses? 1. It's all mixed in. 2. Everything is better when you dine in. 3. They don't give utensils unless requested. (I requested) 4. This is how they make their food. They call their Pad Thai Pud Thai. Maybe because it rhymes with dud.

My favorite local lunch spot when I'm craving Thai! Great service and tasty dishes! They updated the lunch menu but can make almost anything even if it's not on the menu for the specific day.

Extremely average Thai food. We got Pad Thai and Panang Curry for take-out. The Pad Thai was pretty dry although it was a huge portion. The curry came with a ton of rice but really not much curry and not super flavorful. I like other Thai places in Charlotte much more. I will say the atmosphere of the restaurant is very cozy and cute so maybe dining in would make for a better experience.

I enjoyed the lunch which seemed to be a set menu. There were a 6-8 basic offerings each with a choice of meat/seafood additions for added cost. Large portions with fresh, tasty ingredients.Very friendly and efficient staff.The brick walled interior offered various types of spaces and seating. I found it inviting.

CLT: Super authentic family run Thai restaurant with a great vibe about a 10 minute drive from the FBO. Awesome food and service. I'm a pretty spicy guy, but the server went wide-eyed when I asked for Thai hot 3 and she recommended 2. Good call. Even at #2 my face is sweating!

I had high hopes for this restaurant but the Pad Thai was not the best! I will go back to try another menu item.

Fried rice had little flavor. Food wait time was excruciatingly long. Servers rarely checked on our table. They somehow got all 3 of our orders wrong lol. Overall, a let down for what was expected... Gave it another star cause they had cool decorations. Step up the food game Thai Taste, I believe in you.
