Don B.

I really enjoyed all of the food that we had here and the service was excellent. Very attentive and had great suggestions as well. The decor of the restaurant is beautiful and cozy all at the same time. When you walk in you see a beautiful bar, sitting in front of you and tables around it and there is a back dining area as well and there's even some outdoor seating in the back. The curry short ribs were magnificent and so was the Thai iced tea tiramisu although it was much smaller than I thought it would be based on the pictures I saw online. From the cocktails that we tried the obey piña colada was the favorite. The mango sticky rice cocktail was good, but I was expecting it to be sweeter, maybe they would swap the tequila for rum or some other spirit that would make it a little sweeter and more like I was expecting.

I love a good Thai restaurant and Chada is now officially at the top of my list. We arrived as soon as they opened, and there were a few parties waiting for the doors to open. It's a super cute space for any occassion: from date nights to hanging with friends. We were greeted warmly; and, our waitress was super sweet and enthusiastic about the menu. I decided to try the Khao Soi with shrimp as I love a yellow curry. I did ask to remove the pickled mustard (as it can sometimes take over the flavor). The Khao Soi was soothing and flavorful; and the shrimp were cooked perfectly. I'll definitely return to try more items.

Spicy Drunken Noodle - actually very mild

Tyler, our server was lovely. The place was packed and they still managed to find some seats for two of us. The hostesses were very nice. The place is beautiful and the bathroom and tables are clean. The porch has a limited seating area for waiting and is so pretty! The food was pretty bland though. They did have some creative items on the menu which were unique and tasty such as the vermicelli-wrapped shrimp appetizer. However the main dishes we had were quite mild and not the 3 star heat we thought we would get. Before I forget, the cocktails were impressive and quite beautiful. If you're worried about the spice, but you wanna try the food, this is where you should come.

The first thing I noticed when I was in was how beautiful the interior is. I couldn't stop looking at all the beautiful details in the decor and design. Our server was friendly and the food was amazing. I had the stuffed chicken wings. I remember having stuffed wings similar to this about 10 years ago at a festival. I don't remember the name of the booth but I've been searching for wings that food ever since. I finally scratched that itch with Chada's wings. They were delicious! I also had the khao soi and a Thai tea. Both were really good. My dining partner was in love with their cocktail. They loved it so much they ordered another one and they rarely order 2 drinks at dinner. They said it was really well made. Overall it was a great experience with great food. I'll be back.

Wow! I was blown away at this place. The ambience, the service, the food. The staff are so incredibly nice. I literally felt like I was on a resort in Thailand. Everything was so calm and zen. It's been a while since I went to a restaurant that really welcomed us with open arms. The food is amazing. We definitely got the simple stuff, but will be back for their special items!! I will say parking can be a little tricky. I believe it's street parking, but there is plenty! We had no issue finding parking on a super busy weekend. Chada, y'all did your big one!!

The best start to a wonderful Mother's Day. I was overly impressed from the moment we walked in the door. The decor was breath taking: the chandeliers, bar and tables were gorgeous. We were greeted warmly and seated right away. Our hostess description of each special had me salivating and visualizing the taste and we were not disappointed. Each drink was unique in sight and and taste. The dumplings were so different, yet so good and the crab rice had crab in every bite but the star was the snapper. I definitely multiple visits are due in order to taste everything.

I've been meaning to try this place for a while but every time I crave Thai food I always want roti which they don't have so I always pick somewhere else. Anyways, I finally made my way and it was delicious! The only reason it's 4 stars instead of 5 is because of how slow the service is. Everything was soooo good but the drinks were taking at minimum 20 minutes to arrive. They were out of the striploin rice when we ordered which was a bummer turned blessing because we ended up trying to it with duck and the duck was perfection! The short rib dish was also sooo good! 10/10. Those stuffed chicken wings are like magic, i don't know how they make them but so good! We ended with the Thai tea tiramisu which was hitting!

Phenomenal. Phenomenal. Phenomenal. No better word to describe Chada. Went for a celebratory lunch and was impressed by the serenity once entering this quaint establishment. Service was quick and very helpful; we were even offered a second table to accommodate all the dishes we wanted to try! As for the food--AMAZING. Fresh ingredients and so much depth. I've never had a Pad See Ew with this amount of sauce, which was packed with flavor. The stars of my show were the short rib curry and garlic fried rice. Both were delicious and I recommend eating the rice with the curry. For dessert, I am a cheesecake enthusiast and absolutely loved the basque cheesecake that was offered. All dishes served were very good and I am super excited to return to try more (we eyed the fried red fish that was delivered next to us--we will be back to order!) Cannot recommend this place enough. I wouldn't be surprised if they were recognized by Michelin in the future.

The food was delicious especially the basil fried rice. I can't wait to go back to try the short rib and the stuffed chicken wings bc they looked amazing on others plates. The daiquiri is that girl and will get you there. The service was pretty good; they are really busy and do not take reservations. The lady at the front who is older and probably the owner was a bit rude initially and almost convinced us to walk out of the restaurant. But the remaining staff and bartender made up for the older lady's behavior.

First off Service they not taking online or roundtable or resy reservations yet so I called because it was for Mother's Day boom first appointment 11am. Now the Ambiance the attention to EVERY detail is second to none. Who ever design this restaurant needs 3 raises one of the most beautiful restaurants in the city. Food easy top 8 restaurants in the city to be so new. Do not leave without trying the Fried Red Snapper and that crab rice. The drinks are made with so much intention and detail in every sip. Easily a new favorite.

Chada has such a dark, intimate atmosphere. Perfect for a girls' night out or a dinner date tucked into the glow of Mid-City. We arrived around 8 PM, about an hour before closing, and there was about a 30 minute wait, but honestly it moved pretty quickly. The restaurant itself is surprisingly spacious, and the location is great since you can easily walk to nearby spots for drinks after dinner. For appetizers, we ordered the tuna larb and were surprised by how generous the portion was. Definitely enough for 3 topeople to share comfortably. The pineapple fried rice was super flavorful. The sweetness from the pineapple balanced really well with the savory stir-fried rice. We chose steak as the protein, but next time I'd probably go with chicken or even veggie since the flavor of the dish already stands strong on its own. The drunken noodles with shrimp were another favorite. The shrimp were large, fresh, and cooked perfectly. The standout dish for us was the short rib curry. The meat was incredibly tender and practically fell off the bone. The curry was rich, flavorful, and packed with vegetables that soaked up all the sauce beautifully. Definitely a dish I'd come back for.

Sa'Rah H.

Visited Chada on a quiet, cold early Sunday afternoon. They had only been open for about 30 min and I was the only customer apart from a takeout order. The space is absolutely beautiful and ornate. I enjoyed the enthusiastic and attentive service. I ordered the fried veggie egg rolls, papaya salad and Khao Soi with scallops. Each dish was brought out one after the other. The egg rolls were cute, crunchy and tasty. The papaya salad was so incredibly fresh and very flavorful. The Khao Soi was like a warm hug and the scallops were tender, not overcooked. I do wish there were more of the pickled greens and maybe some fish sauce in the curry but overall it was still delicious. I'm always happy when a new Thai restaurant opens and this one in particular is very special. Can't wait to come back!

Ryan N.

One of the best Thai places I've tried in NOLA so far!The ambiance was so aesthetically pleasing. It was a bit noisy inside, but only because there were a lot of diners which is a sign the place is really good. Our waitress was very friendly and helpful when we had any questions about the menu. For drinks, we got their Lychee Mojito ($16.00). So delicious! The blend of lychee and mint flavors really balance off well with each other. For our food, we got their Khao Soi ($18.00) with added soft shell crab ($8.00) & their Stuffed Chicken Wings ($16.00). Everything was so flavorful! The dishes blended well with each other. There is only street parking, but I'm not really surprised as it it located in the Mid City area so. Overall, I'd come back to Chad's if I happen to be in the area.

"A Slice of Thailand in New Orleans" If you're looking for an unforgettable Thai dining experience in New Orleans, look no further. This place doesn't just serve food it transports you straight to Thailand. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by an ambiance that perfectly blends traditional Thai elegance with a touch of New Orleans charm. The decor, the soft lighting, the smell of fragrant spices in the air everything here captures the essence of Thailand in a way that makes you feel like you're savoring a hidden gem, tucked away in the heart of the city. The service? Impeccable. The staff is attentive, knowledgeable, and treats every guest like royalty, offering an experience that rivals any five-star restaurant. You're not just dining out; you're being immersed in a culture, a vibe, and a passion for authentic Thai cuisine. And then there's the food an absolute revelation. Each dish bursts with flavor, expertly crafted with fresh ingredients and bold spices. Whether you're indulging in classic Pad Thai, a rich, aromatic curry, or a fiery Tom Yum soup, you'll taste the care and authenticity in every bite. It's not just a meal; it's an experience, one that lingers long after the last bite. This isn't just a place to eat it's a place to experience. Whether you're here for a casual dinner or a special occasion, you'll walk out feeling like you've just discovered a little piece of Thailand in the heart of New Orleans. read more

I've been so excited for Chada to open up and I'm so excited to have an accessible Thai restaurant in midicity. We started off with the Thai ice tea and the chicken satay and it was so delicious. The satay was made really well and I enjoyed the peanut sauce on the side. We also had the drunken noodles and basil fried rice and the food was great. The venue was also super nice and the ambiance was great. One of the owners gave us a tour and also told us about the story of the house the restaurant was made and how they came about calling the restaurant Chada. Chada is also owned by the same people who made Dhala in the downtown location. It's been only a week since they've opened, but they've done a great job so far. They originally told us there would be a 40-60 minute wait, but it ended up being only 20 minutes. So far they only take reservations by phone for over a party of 5. I can't wait to frequently visit this place and try other things on the menu especially since it's so close! read more

The food is DIVINE! It is Thai- but do not worry- you can request how mild or spicy your dish will be. The restaurant is beautiful, though there was a wait. I'd check ahead to see if they take reservations. The only con is the neighborhood. It's a bit dicey, but both my friend and were able to park on the block of the restaurant. No Valet. I wish I had taken a picture - the presentation of the food was beautiful. read more

Chada is beautifully thought out and absolutely delivers - ambiance was perfect. Started with the lychee martini--an instant 10/10 and the perfect way to kick things off. The papaya salad (Thai hot ) and grilled sausage were a fantastic pairing, bold and full of flavor. We shared the short rib curry and pad woon sen with chicken, and wow--rich, comforting, and incredibly flavorful across the board. Every dish impressed. Can't wait to come back. Service was excellent, Maria was attentive and very polite. read more

Heard about this place recently and finally made it over there last night. I never like being told that I won't be seated until the rest of my party (one person) shows up, and sure enough, by the time they arrived the three remaining tables in the front of house were taken. But there was one more in the back. That not withstanding, the ambience, service, and cuisine were magical. The menu offers pepper ratings for an indication of spicy hotness, and this can be adjusted to taste on order. The menu is inspired and enticing, and I can easily see working my way through it over time. Located in Midcity, conveniently 11 minutes from my house, it features space split between a bar, front room, back room, and a back deck, seating 100. The restaurant, which opened on New Year's Day 2026, also features a private party space in the back room that can accommodate 30 people. The entire experience was not only pleasant but outstanding, with my softshell crab being one of the best I've ever had - and I've had many - deep fried without being greasy, perfect crunchy texture, and expertly seasoned without being overwhelming. Finally, the environment was minimally but tastefully decorated, and I felt privileged to have a traditional Chada headdress on a stand next to my table. New Orleans is fortunate to have Chada. read more

Wow - what an incredible experience! First of all, this restaurant is beautiful. This place is perfect for a date or special night out. The service and staff were phenomenal as well. While it's a new restaurant, the seemed to be mostly on top of the service kinks that new places tend to have. Plus, they were all so kind and made the experience memorable. Finally, and most importantly, the food. This is without a doubt the best Thai I've had period (ie not just New Orleans). The short rib curry was life changing. My wife's drunken noodle ranked as the best she'd ever had as well. Also, the margaritas are great (I know - it's a Thai restaurant - but trust me they're good). Highly recommend! read more

OOOOOH OOOOH OOOOOH!!!!…read more The O Bar is one of those spots that doesn't give everything away at first glance. From the outside you might not expect much, like that one guy who's been asking you out since HS, the one you kept overlooking. Then you finally give him a chance, and surprise: he's not a serial k*ller, he calls his mom, he's charming, fun, and way better than you expected. That's this bar. This is the kind of place where you think you'll just grab 1 drink, but suddenly it's hours later, the bartendtress knows your name, and you've somehow adopted a new group of friends and a dog! I loved it, my drinks were great and I ate some cheese, assorted meat, a slice of pizza flatbread and some blue cheese olives. idk maybe it's the drinks, maybe it's the cute girl behind the bar, who knows. But I like this place, and I wanna go back. long story short... this bar had me like Omarion, just saying O.

I think it could've used a little more chicken, but it was filling and a good size, so I enjoyed it. They were also selling crawfish plates outside for $20 for two pounds in early February. My friends said the crawfish were pretty good, but I didn't have any.

Once the sun went down and the temperature started dropping, they turned it on and it was perfect. It kept us warm and made the whole setup even better. There was crawfish being sold, and of course I had to get some. It was so good and definitely added to the experience. The place was packed because of the game, but the bar inside moved surprisingly fast. There were plenty of bartenders working, so I didn't have to wait long at all. The crowd here is always friendly, which makes a big difference during big events like this. I really enjoyed myself watching the game. The only thing I wish they had was a few blankets available since it does get chilly outside at night. Also, no pets were allowed because of how large the crowd was for the Super Bowl, which makes sense. I've brought my dog before on regular visits and can't wait to bring her back again. Wrong Iron always delivers a good time. I'll definitely be back.

This place is fantastic whether you're popping in for after-work drinks, or even a platter of their seasonal crawfish (often cash only from the vendor, around $19 per box with fixings--check their Instagram for updates). a solid menu of bites like poppers, crab cakes, fries, and burgers, plus that expansive outdoor seating connected to Bayou Wine Garden, it's an ideal hangout to soak in the evening bliss of NOLA. The staff is typically kind and efficient, handling the packed crowds with ease despite all the requests. Give it a try--whether you're a local or a tourist, you'll feel right at home by the bayou. Highly recommend

There is ample picnic table seating outside if you're looking to come with a larger group as well as plenty of space inside.

While I didn't order any food during my last visit, I did check out the menu and there are several tasty-sounding options. I look forward to ordering the totchos during my next visit. Overall - 5/5 stars.

Afterwards, I had the seafood pasta and it was great - appropriate balance of the pasta and seafood. We ended with the creme brule and it was perfect - it had the right amount of crunchiness at the top and was soft as soon as you broke into it. Overall, I had a great experience here and hope to try this place out for brunch in the future!

If you are reading this, which of course I know you are, BE PREPARED FOR A LONG WAIT! If you read…read morethe whole review I'll give you the best tip on how to skip the line (insert shushing emoji) and don't cheat by skipping to the end! Hands down, the best po'boys in all of NOLA. Everything is made from scratch (except the bread, which they source locally), and you really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. My personal favorites are the Surf & Turf and the James Brown. The Surf & Turf gives you get the best of both worlds (shout out to Hannah Montana). Look it up kids. You get the slow-cooked roast beef with gravy plus fresh Gulf shrimp. Shut the front door! The James Brown is just as incredible: juicy BBQ beef, pepper jack cheese, fried shrimp, and a hot sauce mayo. Bring napkins - you'll need them. Pro tip: go with a group and order a few different po'boys to share. You'll want to try everything. You made it to the end, so here we go. I feel like gate keeping (look it up old-timers), but I'm going to be generous because I love y'all. In order to skip the line, go to the bar area and find a high top or seat at the bar. A seat always opens up quickly. It never fails. You can order from the bartender and the service is top notch. Cheers y'all!

Some meals surprise you. Others announce themselves as moments you'll remember. This one? It felt like discovering a secret you immediately want to protect and also tell everyone about. I began, innocently enough, with the Spicy Pineapple Margarita. Bright, balanced, dangerously drinkable. One became two with zero resistance. A third was contemplated, respected, and responsibly declined though not without regret. Then came the Chor Muang (Thai Flower Dumplings) tiny, jewel-like parcels of minced chicken perfumed with coriander root, garlic, and pepper. They arrive looking almost too beautiful to eat. Almost. One bite and the spell breaks: OMG, WTH do not miss these. Delicate, savory, deeply aromatic, and executed with a confidence that signals a kitchen operating on another level. The Veggie Fried Spring Rolls followed cabbage, carrots, glass noodles, mushrooms crispy without heaviness, flavorful without fuss. The kind of "simple" dish that quietly proves how good the fundamentals are here. Every crunch felt intentional. And then... the showstopper. The Short Rib Panang Curry. Short ribs nestled among red peppers and Brussels sprouts, swimming in a curry so rich and precise it feels composed rather than cooked, served with jasmine rice that politely steps aside and lets the sauce speak. There is nothing short about this dish not the flavor, not the portion, not the ambition. It is, without exaggeration, one of the best things I've ever eaten. I "kinda" know food, and this is special. Singular. A dish that doesn't chase trends it creates its own gravity. I find myself hoping, almost praying, that the short rib never leaves the menu. Walking into CHADA feels like stepping through a velvet curtain into another world one where design, intention, and hospitality conspire to slow you down and invite wonder. The room is visually arresting without ever trying too hard: elegant lines, thoughtful textures, and a layout that flows with effortless grace. It's the kind of space that quietly tells you you're in good hands. CHADA isn't just a great meal; it's the thrill of discovery the kind that makes you grateful you showed up hungry and curious. I'll be back. Soon. read more

I expected good things from the friends who opened up Dahla a couple years ago, but their intentional and detailed design of their latest restaurant, Chada, is so beautiful! They didn't just focus on the interior either. The food also comes across shining, especially the short rib penang curry, creamy and decadent with melt off the bone tender meat. The fish was nicely steamed. Light yet flavorful broth completed by a spicy sauce for those of us who like a hit of heat. The chicken seasoned in that beautiful purple dough takes a lot of time and care to make and it's appreciated. I went for dinner during my visit and had to return for lunch for that short rib after seeing orders and multiple posts about it. There's a reason so many people are raving about it, even in the short week they've been open. While dining there both times, I kept hearing gratitude for their presence in the neighborhood and I hope more people go and enjoy this mid-city gem. Congratulations read more

I recently dined at Chada Thai and had a decent, but not particularly memorable experience. The atmosphere was nice and fairly clean, with a relaxed vibe that made it comfortable to sit and enjoy a meal. The food was okay overall. Some dishes had good flavor, especially the curry, but others felt a bit underwhelming and lacked the boldness I usually expect from Thai cuisine. The portions were reasonable for the price, though nothing really stood out as exceptional. Service was polite but a little slow at times, especially during busier periods. Staff were friendly enough, but it sometimes took a while to check in. Overall, it's not a bad spot if you're craving Thai food, but there are probably better options out there if you're looking for something more impressive. I'd consider coming back, but it wouldn't be my first choice. read more

I love Thai food, but eating here just wowed me. My family and I ordered a bunch of food to share, so I tried a lot of food and it was all so delicious. The pad Thai was my favorite, but I also really liked the Khao Soi, fried rice, and glass noodles. The restaurant is really pretty too, and the staff were so attentive and accommodating. read more
