Duang Tawan

This tiny Thai Restaurant is so cozy and inviting! It's a nice quiet place for an amazing authentic meal. It appears to be family owned and operated, and all of the staff is so friendly and attentive.My favorite dish is the Chicken Pad Thai, of course. The medium spice level I chose was perfect for my liking. The dish was loaded with plenty of chicken and was so full of flavor that I could taste every ingredient. I can't wait to go back!

Made my first visit here today for lunch. Do not allow the outside appearance scare you off. It was clean inside, the staff were very friendly and the food was delicious. The soup with the small portions of spring rolls had a very good flavor. The cashew nut with chicken was really good. Good prices especially the lunch deal. Recommended.

I recently visited a small and cozy Thai restaurant with a welcoming atmosphere. The interior is very small and home like and service was decent and fast. I tried the Thai iced tea, but it was a bit too sweet for my liking. The Pad Thai, while decent, had vegetables that didn't seem as fresh as usual--though it could have just been an off day. The dish also leaned on the sweeter side, which may not suit everyone's palate. My friend ordered a curry with medium spice, but it ended up being milder than expected. We did not felt the spice at all. For anyone who enjoys heat, I'd recommend going for the highest spice level. Overall, it's a charming spot, especially if you enjoy sweeter Thai dishes--it's worth a visit.

We revisited Duang Tawan. Same lovely, shack of a restaurant, lol. But still has the best, by far, Thai food we have had in Baton Rouge. I had the same basil beef with rice. Chock full of onions, bell pepper, bamboo strips, beef, hot pepper, and a savory and semissweet sauce. Served over jasmine rice. They know how to cook their vegetables. Not until they are totally limp, but still having a tiny bit of crunch. The basil flavor is what I come for. So many Thai places cook with basil, but Duang Tawan knows how to infuse their dish with it. Staying on our top Thai list!!! Will be back.

Holy spicy. I'm having trouble even thinking spicy about this review spicy because it's so spicy spicy. And I like spicy. But the "medium" (2/4 level spicy) is INSANE to me. My nose is running, eyes watering, stomach hurting after about 5 bites. But it tastes so good I wish I could keep eating (green curry tofu). I will have to mix this with extra rice just to be able to finish it. I will order mild next time for certain. If you came to the reviews section to see if you're the only one who can't handle it, don't worry, it's not just you. The satay was good and the tom yum was too. The tom yum was really good and very sour.

the curry hits the stop (very creamy and the spice still let me enjoy the foo and they gave us so much chicken!! getting the mango sticky rice for dessert for not a disappointment. can't wait to try their other dishes like the pad thai!

The Thai food here is so delicious! This is a hidden gem in Baton Rouge. When I visit from out of state, we try to dine here each visit. The servers and owners are so nice. Support this local business!!

A friend and I stopped by to talk and and have a late lunch. We both ordered from the lunch special which includes a salad and spring roll. The service is quick and the staff is friendly. The place is dark which could use some more warm lighting. I will definitely revisit to try out other menu items.

Mango sticky rice is SO good! Panang chicken curry and Tom yum shrimp soup were very good. I got medium spice in my curry, it was perfect. The Thai tea was also perfect! The atmosphere inside was very sweet / cozy, an easy location for food pickup. The service was great! I hope I can come back for more mango sticky rice, seasonal item!

Food service ambiance all great!!! A must try if you're in Baton Rouge. Peace love and Thai!
