    Phad Kra Pow chicken
    David L.

    Don't understand why this place only has 39 reviews. Perhaps it's why I consider them a "hole in the wall" gem. I always tell myself I should try something else but I keep ordering my favorite, the Deep Fried Catfish with house sweet chili sauce on a bed of steam mixed vegetables. Oh my goodness... Yom Yom Yom Yom! Matthew got the fried rice which is pretty standard, but with their thai twist and it was also delicious. This is just an update to my original review a couple of years ago and they are still one of my top Thai places in Birmingham. They are a hidden gem. Service can be a little slow when they are slammed, but food-wise, they will not disappoint.

    Chicken Pad Thai--tasty but VERY little chicken :(

    So far the best Thai around Hoover but the meat portions are very slight. I've tried the Pad Thai and Woosen.

    My husband, son and I visited Charm Thai last night. We got a table quickly which was great, however, it took a little while to get our food. I did understand because there was a big table who had just ordered ahead of us plus we were told some of the servers had called in sick. The food was great. I enjoyed the Pad King with shrimp. It came with a salad and rice, and the ginger sauce was so good. The ambiance with soft music and low light made it nice and relaxing.

    The miso soup

    I was not impressed with this restaurant at all . I got Chicken pad Thai . Was originally Chicken and shrimp I omitted the shrimp . Well thought I'd get extra chicken but nope hardly any chicken was in this dish . Like 5 small pieces for a whole plate of pad Thai . Definitely not like Hoover Food Mart ( the best Thai in Hoover ) we got an appetizer of miso and chicken wings . Wings were not good or fresh just frozen chicken. The soup wasn't good either ( they didn't charge for the soup) . And the wait for our food was ridiculous. At least 30 min for our food . My husband had the Hibachi chicken and steak and he said it was really good . But we won't be back because I was not impressed.

    Drunken Noodle

    The drunken noodle was very good. It had plenty of meat and vegetables. Most places don't put broccoli in their drunken noodle, but Charm Thai has it along with all the other typical ingredients. Big portion too. Highly recommend.

    Larb salad with chicken

    Good service. Delicious Thai food. Presented in an appetizing way. Easy to get to. What else can you ask for?

    Phad Kra Pow Ground Chicken with Fried Egg Lunch
    Paul C.

    I loved this new Thai and Japanese restaurant in Hoover. Wife and I had lunch on Saturday. The small restaurants is elegantly quaint. It has been opened for only a couple of month, and was not crowded for lunch on Saturday. Our waiter told us Friday night was very busy. I ordered from the lunch menu. Lunch includes a bowl of soup, and today the soup was popular Thai coconut soup. The soup was good, but it was only luke warm. I ordered the Phad Kra Pow Ground Chicken with Fried Egg and I was quite impressed. It was very tasty, and my request of "medium" spice level was just right for me. The portion was huge and I brought home leftovers for later. Besides Thai dishes, the menu included a wide variety of Japanese hibachi entrees and sushi. The worker told us that they have not yet hired a sushi chef so it not yet available. Also, I believe they are still working on getting license to serve alcohol. I recommend this place and look forward to returning to try other Thai dishes.

    I do feel like Birmingham could use another good Thai restaurant and this place honestly has a LOT of potential. We went for lunch and there are a good number of lunch specials with prices about on par with what you expect these days. The restaurant is cute and I really like their canvases on the walls and their pretty menu cover lol. Lunch specials come with a soup (different ones depending on the day of the week). While it could stand to be hotter (temperature-wise), it was tasty and had a good amount of stuff (tofu, mushroom, and tomatoes) in it instead of just broth like most Thai complimentary soups We ordered their masaman chicken and another dish that I can't think of the name. It took about 10 minutes or so for the food to come out, but the entrees were fresh. We were impressed with the portion size! Much better than the Taste of Thailand. Much. Again, they were not stingy on the ingredients. In fact, there were some stuff in my Masaman chicken that I wasn't really used to because there was so much variety in it! Chicken, potato, sweet potato, carrots, avocado, peanuts, etc. It was good overall though I would suggest cashew instead of peanuts for texture purposes. Also, more importantly, the sauce was just too thin. I would love the dish instead of just like the dish if the sauce was thicker. Should be an easy fix, I am hoping they read this and fix it lol.

Our server gave us recommendations and even gave us some fun facts about Thailand! Loved it here and will come back.

    Another excellent addition your list of Thai restaurants in Birmingham!…read more They've only been there for 6 years and I finally made it. Even though I didn't dine in, I appreciated the beautiful decor and the attention to detail. Gone from their early days during the pandemic when they were take out only to their newly renovated and larger dining area. There's nice bar with stools nearly centered in the restaurant. Employees are more friendly than you can imagine. Located on 280 near the Greystone entrance, YYST is on the right in a small quaint strip shopping area that's raised "above" 280. So if you're driving by you can see YYST by looking up. There's no outdoor seating, but plenty of tables and chairs inside with seating at the bar. They are quite proud of their Yelpies 2025 award for "Beloved Birmingham Business" which sits at the front entrance. Their menu is comprehensive with the right amount of dishes to satisfy. Every "Thai" place seems to have their own take on most dishes and YYST is no different. Their "recommended" entrees include Mango fish, Pad Thai Chakangrao, Massamun Short Rib, Pad Thai Wings and Panang New York Strip. Then they also have "Signature Plates" whose menu descriptions had my mouth watering. There's also stir fry, curries, salads, and even a lunch menu. Since I wasn't dining, I was going to do my litmus test and try their version they call Beef Drunken Uncle noodle. I also ordered their Fresh Basil Shrimp Rolls, and Bangkok market fried rice. I waited at the bar for about 10 minutes when my packaged meals arrived. I was offered a glass of cool water as I waited at the bar. The rolls were wrapped in saran wrap and I would guess were probably made a couple of days ago. Nothing wrong with that except I got unlucky and rice paper wrapper was almost crunchy. They were a little heavy on the use of lettuce, but each had 4 large fresh shrimp. The taste wasn't anything spectacular BUT their version of the dipping peanut sauce saved it. Yom Yom Yom! The fried rice was delicious. Tossed in a wok with eggs, onions, chinese broccoli and their house sauce, I had beef added as the protein and it was delicious. My Drunken noodle was very good! This traditional street food inspired dish is a classic. Wide noodles tossed with snap beans, garlic, onions, bell peppers with thai chili and basil, their version is quite good! It had great flavor and an excellent representation of the drunken noodle. Next time I might have to pay extra for a fried egg on top. Yom Yom Yom Yom! I'm glad I finally visited YYST. I am looking forward to returning and this time dining in. The Panang New York Strip and Mango Fish have my name on them!

    One of the best restaurants in Birmingham. I've probably been here over 50 times…read more Check Facebook for hours as they are truly a family business and will close for over a week at a time for family matters. And I love that about them! Three picnic tables outside is all of the seating. Parking lot is small but there is parking across the street if needed. I usually order and then wait in my car for my food. Friday special is my favorite but if you are one of the lucky ones that dines there on a day when they have yellow noodle bowl, you are blessed. It is very rare. It says Hoover Food Mart on the sign, a homage to their humble beginnings in this building back when it was an operating gas station. Unique, special, delicious. An all around gem in the heart of Hoover.

They got some real parking lot magic going on. Folks don't know how to park. It's date night, Bae and I want everything. This our first time. We got spring rolls of course, dumplings and he got the coveted coconut soup with tofu. He says yum. I hate Coconut soup. Spring rolls limited, hardly nothing, but them DUMPLINGS! Man yeah! Entrees were combination fried rice and Pad Pak. Pretty good. Real fresh veggies with chicken and an extra fried egg, just love the ingredients. It's a nice fresh herb taste with lots of flavor with little seasoning. Y'all already know, if it's for the dumplings alone, She'll be back.

    We had checked in at our hotel a bit later than planned and hence were hungry. My wife found this…read moreplace listed as the closest Thai place, so we drove there. It is located in a large plaza that spas both sides of the road. The opposite side looked more like a small shopping mall with higher end restaurants, but we didn't explore it. The side where this restaurant is located is anchored by a Publix. There was plenty of parking in the shared lot. I don't think that this place was what either of us expected, which was a restaurant where you ordered from your table. Instead, this place had a more 'hole in the wall' vibe, but in a generally good way. They had about 6 tables total in a fairly small space. You ordered at the counter and they brought the food out later. They were almost constantly fielding phone-in orders for to-go food. They had limited drinks available (including water) but no alcohol. The staff was friendly. The food came out before long, and we both agreed it was very good. My curry was quite flavorful. My wife liked her vegetable dish as well. So, just know what to expect. If you want to impress someone on a first date, this may not be the venue for you. If you are just here for the food, then this is a great choice. If I lived in the area and wanted Thai take-out, this would absolutely be my first pick.
