Some of the best Thai food I have ever had 9/10. Perfect amount of sweet and heat with a rich finish and profile on the drunken noodles There is so much flavor profile with every bite

Elaine C.

We ordered take out via DoorDash for pick up on a Friday night and it was the worst experience yet. It was my first time at Charm Thai Bistro and will probably be my last. I ordered at 5:30pm and received an email at 5:56pm that my order was ready for pick up-- It stated to skip the line and go straight to the pick up counter. It is a small place and they only allowed two customers in at a time which created a line outside in below 10 degrees weather. I waited nearly 30 minutes outside to finally go in to realize my order wasn't even at the pick up counter as it stated it was... I waited an additional 20 minutes for someone to acknowledge me INSIDE the restaurant. I was finally able to grab an employee's attention after she got off the phone and I was later informed my order JUST "came in," meanwhile I got the notification 50-55 minutes ago that my order was ready. Her response was "we are too busy." I get it, you're busy but I should have never gotten an alert saying my order was ready at 5:56pm if it really wasn't even after waiting 30 minutes outside and 20 minutes for someone to acknowledge me waiting at the front counter.. The employee insisted I wait and since I ordered through DoorDash it was much slower. Apparently the restaurant can only stall drivers but not customer pickups... Regardless, I should not have been told my order was ready if it really wasn't whether I am the driver or pick up customer. By this time it had been well OVER an hour since I got the alert saying my order was ready and she could not guarantee she was able to rush the order, so I insisted she cancel my order but she told me she couldn't... We came to the agreement that it'll take 10 additional minutes so I waited in the car to allow other customers to go in. She brought it out to my car in an additional 20 minutes. We ordered the following: -Massaman Curry $14.95 -Mango Fried Rice Dinner with White Rice $13.95 -Pad See-U Dinner with Crispy Chicken $13.95 -Tom Yum with Shrimp $5.00 -Thai Ice Tea $3.95 -Pad Thai Dinner with Crispy Chicken $13.95 When I got home there was a leak from the Massaman Curry dish that spilled all over the brown paper bag causing the bag to rip. The Thai tea also spilled all over the plastic bag as well. Their take out packaging needs improvement. We were really excited about this place after reading these reviews here on Yelp, but we were disappointed as the food was just okay and average. Our favorite dish we ordered was the Massaman Curry and of course that was the one affected. The Mango Fried Rice only came with 4 pieces of mango and the mangos were bad. The dish was interesting and we were not fans. The Pad See-U had no taste. We were a fan of the Tom Yum with Shrimp but just a tad bit salty for our liking. They were a bit stingy with the shrimp. The Thai ice tea was good but again, really poor packaging as it leaked all over the bag. Lastly, the Pad Thai with Crispy Chicken was super average. All the dishes that consisted of chicken didn't have any flavor. The chicken was super bland and dry as if they made the chicken a while ago in bulk and reheated it when a dish required it. Moral of the story, do not order from DoorDash as a pick up customer or expect to wait past your "order is ready," alert. Also, do not get your hopes up for this place because the food was super average. However, I do recommend the Massaman curry, Tom Yum, and Thai Ice Tea! There were some parking spots outside which were helpful. Overall, 2 out of 5 stars. This situation was handled so poorly and the food was okay. First and last time here.

Crispy chicken pad Thai. Noodles and sprouts were yummy. Crispy chicken was like chicken fingers. Strange. March 2021.

I was craving a mean pad Thai. Though not recent, the Yelp reviews for this dish were great, stating that it is flavorful and came in a large portion. I typically order from another Thai place around the corner but I was feeling adventurous to try something new. We ordered online early on a Saturday to beat the rush and it was literally ready in 10 minutes. I was happy to see contactless pick up. Now, about the pad thai---I would agree with the first review about the flavor. Oftentimes pad Thai dishes can be clumpy and lack flavor, but it was a yummy, peanuty dish with accents of scallions and bean sprouts. I ordered the crispy chicken, which looks like chicken fingers sliced up and out on top, so that was weird. Though they tasted good, it didn't see to fit. I don't know what I was expecting, but it seemed like two different elements in one container. In terms of the portion, it was average. I'll get two meals out of it. Hubby ordered the mango curry and gave it 3.5 out of 5. He said the sauce was too thin and the chicken to vegetable ratio was poor. However, it had good flavor. We also ordered the spring rolls. They were just fine to me, but my husband liked that they weren't greasy. The inside was a bit too mushy to me. It came with a light dipping sauce that I wish was a little spicier. Overall, we'd give a 3.5 if we could. Good flavor, but just missing that little something to make the dishes cohesive. I'll try the regular chicken pad thai next time to see if that's what was missing. Give it a try!

Way overpriced and inconsistent. The food is fine but $13 for mediocre soup is a little ridiculous. You can do better!

If you're looking for the Ole' Bancock Spice, just forget it-it's gone & never coming back. Very…read moreLower quality food, Cleary not made wok fresh-like previous owners did, the prepped hours before dried out chicken sat like garbage in my GREY stuck together in lumps rice which was tasteless. Pad Thai had NO PEANUTS (should be a crime) Sauce was Way TOO Sweet like they poured it out of a jar from Market Basket. Noodles were TOO thick & undercooked-& too many unwelcome added fillers of Chinese veggies no one likes or orders on the side-EVER. Only other place I got pad Thai this horrible was "Thai Sweet Basil" in Andover, MA which something tells me they bought a second location-I also DON'T Recommend wasting your money at. UGH! Cheap Food, Cheaply prepared, overly sweet sauce, unneeded veggies, no peanuts & 50% more expensive. R.I.P. BANCOCK SPICE-Hope your family is happy back in Thailand This 25 year customer is going to miss you terribly.

Pretty good no frills Thai restaurant. The basil pad Thai was amazing and I would definitely give 5…read morestars based on that dish alone. We also got duck in some Thai style thing, and while flavorful, the saltiness was definitely noticeable. The pad see ew used the same noodles as the pad thai rather than wide noodles as you'd expect, and it basically tasted like the pad thai with less flavor (would not recommend).

We sat for about 10 minutes before anyone came to our table, and when a server finally arrived, drinks were rushed out and it felt like we were pressured to place our food order immediately. One member of our group is gluten-free, and while they did offer a gluten-free menu, it lacked creativity and felt like an afterthought compared to the regular menu. We also didn't feel confident that the allergy was taken seriously. The server didn't ask many questions or clearly communicate any precautions regarding cross-contamination, which is something we've experienced at many other restaurants. The food itself was okay, but nothing memorable. The gluten-free chicken and vegetables were extremely bland and lacked flavor. The chicken also seemed undercooked, which was concerning. We ordered four different sushi rolls, and overall I'd rate the sushi about a 5/10. The spicy edamame leaned much sweeter than spicy, although some people may enjoy that flavor profile. The crab rangoons were decent but nothing special. Throughout the meal, service continued to be lacking. We never received a check-in after our food was delivered and had to flag down our server multiple times just to get water refills. The lack of attentiveness from the staff was frustrating, especially considering the prices. The restaurant has plenty of seating, but it was very loud, making conversation difficult at times. Overall, the experience wasn't terrible, but it certainly didn't justify the cost. Unfortunately, it's not a place I'd recommend to friends, and I don't see myself returning.

The two of us ordered to share 干扁四季豆 spicy green beans ($15.95), 泡椒牛肉 / shredded beef w. pickled pepper ($19.95), and 水煮鱼片 braised fish fillets w. chili sauce ($17.95). The 幹扁四季豆, a regional classic, possessed impressive amounts of smoky 鍋氣 / wok-hei, melding disparate salty and savory flavors together. The pickled mustard offered crunchy texture contrast. The 泡椒牛肉 remained unchanged from my previous visit - a decent sauteed beef dish with a slight hint of spice and slight acidity to contrast other, heavier dishes. The 水煮鱼片 proved underwhelming. The braising liquid only imparted slight amounts of spicy, as evidenced by its brackish color. It imparted equally little flavors - the fragrance of chili oil and sharpness of peppercorn seemed notably absent. Overall, I would still return to Sei Bar. I know to skip the 水煮鱼片 next time.
