I rarely ever post a bad review about a restaurant. But this was ridiculous. This was the worst Thai food I've had. Not only did the food not taste good. They were so stingy with their portions. We ordered red curry with beef, pad Thai with shrimp and pork spring rolls. The curry literally had 2.5 oz of beef. I weighed it. The shrimp was about the same in the pad Thai. They barely gave 3/4 cup rice for the curry. What's the point of being that stingy with white rice. There were 3 little bitty spring rolls about 2.5 inches long and was mostly just wrapper and hardly any meat in them. I wish I had taken pictures of the food in the containers but I was so shocked by the portion sizes that I forgot. I ordered via DoorDash but that had nothing to do with the quality of the food. read more

Decided to try out this Thai place after randomly stumbling upon it online. I will say, it left a lot to be desired. The place was oddly empty when we came in and overall, the service was speedy and good. We ordered the pineapple fried rice, green curry, and a Thai tea. The pineapple fried rice was pretty good and had nice flavor. The green curry was disappointing. I had it mild spicy and it was so spicy, you would think I ordered hot spicy, plus it had this odd bitter aftertaste that just wouldn't go away and there was zero flavor. It was really odd and I def wouldn't order it again. The Thai tea was pretty decent but it was a little watered down. Overall, it was an experience that left a lot to be desired and just didn't hit the spot. read more

I had high hopes, when I walked it, it smelled good! The menu seems standard with Thai cuisine. The food was lacking major flavors. If bland was a picture it would be the pad Thai. Also, the food looks nothing like the picture which is so disappointing. At least look somewhat similar if you're going to show what it looks like. The wonton soup had so much veggies and barely any wontons. But on the pic it showed no veggies. The Thai noodle soup was oh so bland for 19 dollars that's ridiculous. Also looks nothing like the picture. Absolutely trash. I do not recommend if you want authentic Thai food because this is so far from that. Service was so slow, on a busy sat night there was only 1server. read more

**Standard rating for American Thai cuisine.** It seems they are catering to the local crowd, but this definitely wasn't an authentic Thai restaurant. We ordered spicy edamame, Tom Yum soup, grilled beef salad, red curry, chicken pad Thai, pad prik, pad basil chicken, and Thai tea. The service and the staff were extremely nice! Let's start with the spicy edamame; it was definitely one of the highlights of the night! I really enjoyed it. **Tom Yum soup:** The broth was clear, which was telling. Unfortunately, it wasn't very flavorful. **Grilled beef salad:** I think they were attempting to make nam tok, but it missed the mark. There was no roasted rice flavor or fish sauce, and it was very under-seasoned. However, I must say the meat was tender. Traditionally, nam tok doesn't contain that much vegetable--usually, it has just a small portion of leafy greens. **Red curry:** This wasn't bad, but I believe they used coconut milk instead of coconut cream, making it too watery. While the flavor was decent and the spice level was good, the dish was overly soupy and lacked richness. **Chicken pad Thai:** The texture was spot on, but the presentation was lacking. It definitely missed the sourness that is key to this complex dish. I squeezed in some lime wedges, but it could have used more flavor overall. **Pad prik and pad basil chicken:** Both were served in a garlic chili sauce, so I expected a similar flavor profile. However, they were quite mid and tasted identical. The sauce was not thickened at all, looking more like broth (see photo). **Thai tea:** Unfortunately, it was very watered down. I don't even know where to begin; it lacked flavor and was simply too watery. read more

Ordered takeout and the service was fast and courteous. Have you ever eaten food that was far too spicy but was so delicious that you couldn't stop eating it? This is that place. The dish ordered as "no spicy" was too spicy for one diner to eat. My seafood curry ordered "mild" was delicious but too spicy for me to finish as was the green curry that another person ordered. I understand that Thai food is generally spicy but this was over the top. If dishes prepared as no spicy, mild and medium were too hot, I cannot imagine what "spicy" & "extra spicy" must be. The food quality was excellent but unless I know that the spiciness can be toned down significantly I don't anticipate future orders. read more

BEST Thai food in the Memphis area hands down! Do not let the people who complain about their food delivery fool you- thats a door dash problem honey. I am, in fact, eating my delivery pad Thai right now and it's perfect. It arrived very hot, and is full of flavor. I love the medium spice level - perfect amount of heat. I really don't understand how others say the food is bland? Chalin Thai is SO good!! We've been in person and get take out and every time it has been excellent! read more

Pad Prik was excellent and got Larb to go for tomorrow's lunch. Tried the larb when I got home and might order it every ti read more

I had the Massaman pineapple curry with beef, chicken, and shrimp. It comes at a spicy level one, which is perfect for me. Some people might like it more spicy, but for me, it was perfect. The flavor was outstanding! And our waiter, Corn, was a really nice guy. Excellent service! It's a tiny little hole-in-the-wall place that probably doesn't see more than 30 people zzz but well worth the visit. And the prices are quite favorable as well. read more

We ordered online but something went wrong. The owner decided to deliver it himself. Excellent customer service. The food: delicious. We are from the west coast, can't find Thai in this area that isn't bland. This has a kick -medium spice. Pad Thai with tofu... a standard but perfect. The Massamam curry with peanuts. Really good, I will try their other curries next time. This is my new favorite place. Go here for authenticity and not a Memphis bland affair. read more

We ate there recently for the first time. It is small and intimate and that equals quiet! It was so wonderful to go out to dinner and not have to shout at friends across the table. The menu has something for everyone. I ordered the pad thai as I usually do when I go to a Thai place for a first visit; I consider it somewhat of a gold standard as it's a trademark Thai dish. It was quite good and the portion was large enough for me to take some home and enjoy the next day. Spouse ordered green curry, and it had a great flavor. We already plan to return. There are very few reasonably priced restaurants in Germantown, but this is one. Make a reservation and support these hardworking people. read more

This place is a hidden gem. The food was excellent, and the service was even better. I've had some terrible meals while traveling in this area, but then I discovered this restaurant. The food truly impressed me, and the service exceeded my expectations. read more

Such a great addition to Germantown! It's terrific to have a great Thai restaurant close by. The food is fresh and nicely presented. It's helpful that you can select the degree of spiciness that suits your palate. Lots of good choices! It's owned by a very nice family that is very attuned to the desires of the community and is expanding the menu based on requests. We were very impressed with the cleanliness, ambiance and service, too. read more

I had such high hopes for an amazing new Thai restaurant that also delivered. Dreams crushed. First off, they use Door Dash, so it's not their driver. Our $70 was delivered lukewarm and was just not what we expected. The pad thai was basically noodles and sauce and a few scattered small pieces of chicken. I ordered it mild spicy and there was no spice, tofu, scallions, eggs, beansprouts or cilantro to be found. Husband's curry was watery and lacked any veggies of substance. For $15+ entrees the serving size was also very small - hubby was still hungry and ate my (non-pad thai) noodles. Boo and hard pass. read more

Very good food and service. Have tried several items and loved them all. The Green Curry and Pad Basil were both amazing.
