    Menu showing noodle soup selections
    Mary-Ann L.

    On this very cold supposed to get snow day, I wanted to trek to Norfolk to try Ann Thai. Drive to this place twice before: once unexpectedly closed (emergency?) and then They're not open on Mondays! So reviews rave about khao soi beef noodle soup. It was ready in 10 minutes less. Smells so good! And the owner came out to serve, took a picture of her creation and even asked if I wanted hot water!!! Such wonderful personal service. And I had the pleasure of meeting Ann, the very friendly and warm owner. She offered hot water and a little bit of Iced Thai tea. She shared that she opened a year ago and that within a few months her restaurant has earned accolades as best restaurant in Norfolk in 2025. I can see why! The food here is delicious! I definitely have found the best Thai restaurant. Everyone needs to come to try this restaurant. Trust me you will thank me later

    My husband is a hard sell and even he gives this place five stars! Delicious food and wonderful, hard-working, appreciative staff; all so friendly and welcoming. It's not the fanciest place, but the food cannot be beat. I can't wait to try some of their other options in the not too far future. In the area? Check Them Out!

    Ann Thai Cuisine was so good we can't wait to come back. The owner and her daughter were hospitable and kind. We had the drunken noodles and massaman curry--both were yummy, savory, and perfectly portioned. It's true Thai spice, so even medium will be hot. We also sincerely appreciated the military discount. One note: bring cash if you can, as there is a 3% fee for card payments. Highly recommend!

    I haven't loved the Thai places in the area, but I can already tell that Ann Thai is going to be in my regular rotation of treat-yo-self options!! This place was recommended to me by 2 trusted sources, where their comparison of Thai food is from a visit to Thailand and their regular spot in New York. It's a quaint little hole in the wall. Right off Granby in the Wards Corner area. You can pick up or dine in. My first visit I dined in. Service was phenomenal. Everyone was so kind and attentive. And THE FOOD?! Yeah I'm here to stay lol. First I ordered the Thai tea, coconut soup, and crispy chicken panang curry (#38). Absolute perfection. The soup has just the right combination of sour from the tamarind and umami from what I'm assuming is fish sauce, then the coconut milk to round it all out. My soul needed that soup. The CURRYYYYYY! The chicken in it?!?!?! SO GOOD. The thai tea was different. It's not as "thin" as other places that serve Thai tea. I think that's good? Oh and I took home some mango sticky rice. It never stood a chance. Devoured immediately. Not too sweet and just the right freshness I came back to pick up for lunch because I love pad see ew. The noodles are thick but they're somehow sweet? It's kinda giving Korean rice cake? But the flavor was just right. I also got the wings! They were spicy but the Thai pink milk drink balanced everything out on my tastebuds. I'll be back. I want to try more! If the soup and pad see ew are the way that they are, I'm sure their pad Thai is delish. Maybe I'll actually start to crave the dish knowing how good the food is from here. Whoever Ann is, she's that girl

    Saying something is "the best ever" shouldn't be taken lightly. But its without a doubt that Ann Thai Cuisine is the best Thai food that I've ever had the pleasure of having. We drove 7 hours to be here, and would gladly do it again. The food, drinks, service, and just everything was so amazing. We got to speak with the wonderful owner personally, as well as the kind gentleman working the front of the store. We had the Pad Thai, Pad Kee Mao, Thai Iced Tea and Matcha Thai Iced Tea. Everything was absolutely phenomenal. This restaurant deserves all their accolades and more! The only thing to watch out for is that there were quite a few potholes in the parking lot, but that's not something in their control!

    Ambiance was not that great, but dang the food was on point. Bought a lot of food. Spent $100 and fed 6 people well. My wife has never had Thai food, and she said we will go back. With just the two of us so we can save money! The spring rolls and Pad sweet and sour with chicken are. AMAZING! Pad Cashew Nut was delightful as well, you can add spice and we did on one of them. We are here for a month, and plan on eating it again after the kids all leave!

    The staff was so friendly and food was delicious! The Green Thai Tea was super creamy and yummy!!!

    Such a special restaurant! The owners are some the kindest, most hard working people I have had the pleasure of meeting. And then there's the food which is simply some of the best in town. I recently dined in and enjoyed the Khao Soi Chicken which I think may be one of my new favorite foods. It is a cozy, but spicy curry packed with chicken, soft noodles, crispy noodles, and red onion. The curry is so flavorful and perfectly balanced with sweetness, creaminess, spice, and heat. We're so lucky to have this restaurant in our neighborhood!

    This is a very new establishment that has opened in the Wards corner location. They are very friendly and very good at customer service. They do provide dine in as well. Two and four seat tables. Soft music and smooth lightning inside. The food has yet to disappoint me, and this makes a few times for me returning. I have yet to try the food tonight, so I will be back with an update. PS always tip during the holiday season.

    A Must-Try Thai Gem! We had an amazing dining experience at Ann Thai Cuisine! Every dish we ordered was packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. From appetizers to main courses, each plate came in generous portions that definitely filled us up--no one left hungry! The ingredients were fresh, the presentation was beautiful, and the service was friendly and attentive. You can really taste the authenticity in every bite. We'll definitely be coming back for more. Highly recommended if you're craving quality Thai food!

    38.Crispy Chicken Panang Sauce

    This is one of those don't judge a book by its cover and a true hidden gem. I walked into Ann Thai Cuisine not knowing what to expect, but I walked out feeling like I had just visited home. Having recently been stationed in Norfolk, I've been missing that sense of familiarity, comfort, and genuine human warmth and somehow, Ann and her family delivered all of that within a single meal. What sets this place apart isn't just the amazing food (and trust me, it is AMAZING). It's the hospitality , the kind that you can't fake, the kind that reminds you of family. This is a true FAMILY OWNED and family-run business, and you can feel it the moment you step inside. Ann, the owner herself, is the heart of the restaurant. She cooks every dish with such obvious love and authenticity, and whenever she has a spare moment, she comes out to greet her customers like they're guests in her own home. At one point, I was halfway through my curry when she came by and asked if I wanted more. Before I could even respond, she gently took my plate, dashed back to the kitchen, and returned with a fresh, generous serving. I couldn't help but laugh. I felt so taken care of, in a way I didn't realize I needed. Moments like that don't happen at just any restaurant. And the Thai tea? She gives out to all the to goers and she gave me not just a free refill but one to go. She just loves sharing her culture and connecting with the people who walk through her doors. That alone tells you everything about this place. I didn't even talk much about the food, did I? It was my first time there, but I can say with full confidence that every dish is made with intention, with love, and with a level of authenticity that's hard to find nowadays. And the best part? It's AFFORDABLE!!! Real, hearty, lovingly prepared food that doesn't break the bank. I'm so glad I stumbled upon this spot. Ann greeted me with such warmth that there's absolutely no hesitation about going back- in fact, I'm already looking forward to it. If you're reading this and wondering whether to try it, I promise you won't regret it. And if you don't believe me, the other five-star reviews will back me up. Thank you, Ann. I'll be seeing you again soon!! Haha

    Panang chicken  sauce is soooo good!!!!!!!!

    This is the best Thai cuisine that I've ever tasted. Hands down the best restaurant in Hampton Roads!! If you get a chance come to eat at Ann's. The service is amazing.

I liked the charcoal flavor of the chicken 7/10 but the rice was dry and hard, the beans were over cooked and flavorless, the veggies were mushy and lacked seasoning as well. The lack of cleanliness is a huge deal for me because if the front of the house is nasty, the back couldn't be any better. This place is a no for me.

At first, the hostess said they were full inside but had a few seats outside. The weather was nice so we figured, sure. When we came outside, there were two other people that looked defeated. I asked how long they had been sitting there and one guy said 20 minutes, the other said 10. The whole time and no one had been there to even greet them. It was at this point, I knew we were doomed... but I never expected what actually happened. Eventually, a server comes out. He greets the other two folks then looks us and straight up ignores us. Look, ignore, and keep walking. Thinking that maybe he's just busy we chilled some and waited... nope... gave them water and still continued to ignore us. After THREE more times of this waiter ignoring us, we decided to go to the hostess for alternate seating. While there at the front, I was so infuriated that I told 3 other customer waiting in line our experience and insisted they enter at their own risk. They left. While we did get another seat with a waitress that was very amenable, the service from everyone else was just lackluster as heck. Overall, if you're just struggling for wings, sure... hit this place up. However, if you want an actual decent experience b/c of how much the cost of nights are... I'd advise pass.

I will say that their medium is way to Spivey for me, but I knew going forward to get the mild which is also spicy. On this particular visit I was fantastically disappointed. So, I ordered a two piece and a drink. I asked what pieces of the chicken come with a two piece the young man behind the counter stated a leg and thigh. He even went to the wall that lists what pieces you can expect to receive to confirm. I said that was fine as I don't care for chicken breast at all, never have and I never will. I paid and then he said that it would be 20-25 minutes. No problem as I am happy to wait for fresh fried chicken. No please keep in mind that they were not busy at all. They had zero customers when I walked in, two first responders came in after me and there was no else who came in afterwards. Please help me understand why this young man brought me a tray with a wing and a breast.. I took the greasy tray back up to him and politely asked what was on my tray. He told me. I then asked him what he told me came with the 2 piece. He repeated a leg and a thigh. Then why would he bring me a breast and a wing? I told him that I would like a refund. He stated that they could remake it. I said "No thank you, I'm not going to wait another 20-25 minutes and I would like a refund". This poor kid then stated that he would have to call his manager. Fine. Call them. Why would the manager need to be called? I didn't get what I ordered and paid for and I didn't eat the food. Over the phone the manager inquired if I would prefer for the food to be remade or if I would like a refund. Sir, I have already asked for a refund. Will most certainly not be returning. There are way too many fried chicken restaurants in this area. If chicken is your thing then maybe do it right. Also, I failed to mention that they now do seafood boils. Not sure I would try it. If you can't get your chicken orders right how are you going to get your seafood boils right? No thank you.

I have been here several times to pick up food, but this was my first time actually going inside to order. The line was long around lunchtime, but it moved quickly.

I was pleasantly surprised at how efficient everything was. I was in and out much faster than expected. While putting my order together, the man helping me handed me a sample rib over the counter. I am a very socially awkward person and do not handle unexpected moments very gracefully, so I probably reacted a little awkwardly. That part was on me. The rib was GOOD though.

I had also gone the day before around 7 PM and they had already closed because they were sold out for the day. Just a heads up that they do close early if they run out of food.
