I came here with friends for lunch on a weekday. There was ample parking, although I can see it getting fairly busy and being a bit more crowded. The restaurant was a generally smaller size. The restaurant was cute and clean. Service was friendly! I ordered the pad thai with chicken. This dish was a fair size for the price. I ended up taking a little bit of leftovers at home. It was overall balanced for flavor in terms of not being too sweet, which some Thai places do (almost a little bit on the saltier side). Charm Thai is a solid Thai restaurant overall. read more

We have gone to Charm Thai several times now, and I can happily report that the food consistency and quality has been the same and stellar. The service is great and they accommodate to special requests without a problem. I would highly consider staying on the mild spicy side as their medium was burning hot. The vibe and space is clean and bright. This is our go to spot in East Sac! Excellent food and portions! read more

There's a lot of good thai restaurants in Sac but I wanted to try out Charm Thai to see how it measures up. Panang curry (chicken): A- Very legitimate curry! The flavor is amazing as it is very creamy and nutty. Only thing I think would be better is if they included some veggie or potato in it as it's basically just the protein. Their sticky rice is very good, perfect texture as it clings together well and you can feel the individual grains. Fried shrimp rolls: B Wrapped in a wonton and deep fried. Tastes good with the sauce they serve. Service is very friendly. read more

What a quaint little place! Came here with some friends have a nice lunch. The place is small, but well lit, had a good amount of seating, and the bathroom was easily located. The thing that grabbed my attention, though, was the ceiling! I loved the way it was decorated. So cute and vibrant. We were the only ones there for a while, so it was quiet. The staff were super attentive the moment we walked in. They greeted us warmly, asked how many would be dining, and they brought over waters and menus. My other friend was still parking. Plenty of parking, btw. The menu laid out each dish wonderfully, so we didn't have to guess anything. We ended up ordering an array of foods including green Thai curry, which came with rice, some steamed buns, dumplings, and noodles. Everything was delicious! When I'm in the area, I'll definitely visit again. read more

I'm not going to trash this place, because their heart is in the right place. The Hostess/Waitress was nice and it's obvious they put care into the preparations. That said, the dishes are expensive. The service was slow and the food was very average. I really enjoyed my Larb salad. The Beef Noodle soup was an extremely small portion and the flavor had a medicinal herb taste. Ceiling Decor is cute and the curved front window is a nice feature. Not a bad meal, but i would not return. read more

Overall? Convenient spot with easy parking and genuinely good service. The space was a little tight, so don't expect to linger, but it works for a quick sit down or takeout. The food was a mix of highs and misses. When they got it right, it really worked. When they didn't, it felt flat. The mango curry carried the meal. The green curry dragged it down. Everything else sat somewhere in the middle Parking? Lot We had: Chicken Satay (4/5): Flavor wise, this was locked in. One of the better peanut sauces I've had. Nutty, slightly sweet, with enough depth to keep it interesting. The problem was execution. It came out lukewarm, which dulled the whole experience and made it feel less fresh than it should have. Also could've used more sauce. Still good, just not quite dialed Green Curry (2.5/5): This one just didn't show up. The flavors felt muted and never really came together. The vegetable mix was fine, but it needed more eggplant to give it some body and identity. The chicken was forgettable. Nothing offensive, just flat. Easy pass Mango Curry (4.5/5): This is where things turned around. Bright, layered, and actually interesting. Real mango brought a natural sweetness that worked instead of overwhelming, and the sauce had depth. It felt composed. The vegetables could've been more evenly distributed and the chicken was just okay, but overall this was the standout and absolutely worth ordering again read more

TLDR: Really good Thai food, properly seasoned, fast, enthusiastic service from the staff and good value. For the Readers: Located in a small open shopping center with a few other businesses and bars, the parking was a little tricky as the parking lot is not very large. I had to drive around the block to ultimately find a spot in the same parking lot after someone left. Not sure where the drivers were visiting becuase the restaurant was almost empty. The restaurant decor is simple, with wide, flat baskets adorning the ceiling and just a few Asian touches on the walls. The statue surrounded by plants was the main decorative focal point in the corner. It also provides good camouflage for the speaker where top 40 music from the 70s through the 90s plays. We were greeted quickly by our very enthusiastic server who got us seated and brought menus and water. He made a few suggestions on the menu and left us to consider our choices. After placing our order, the food arrived quickly, with a nice presentation. In search of spicy dishes, I ordered the green curry with chicken, Thai spicy. My wife wanted to try something different from her normal Penang so she tried the Praram curry. We also tried their spring rolls with avocado and peanut sauce. The curry dishes had lots of vegetables with a good serving of meat. They even got the heat level of my dish correct. Nice heat that blended well and did not seem to be an after thought. My wife mentioned that she was trying something different and the server brought her small dish of Panang sauce so she could compare the two flavors. That was a very thoughtful touch. Overall, I will definitely return to this place. Well done! read more

Very welcoming place and service was good read more

We had been looking for a new Thai restaurant because... let me tell you. WOW! The authentic flavors, the generous portion, the amazing friendly fast service (Tyler), the clean/elegant yet inviting ambiance, ample parking. They use ingredients that we see lacking in many modern Thai restaurants. Not pictured bc we devoured it immediately- pad see ew + papaya salad. Both 5/5. We highly recommwill + plan to definitely return! read more

Charm Thai is really close to my new house in Sacramento, and we were starving after a day of moving and unpacking, so we decided to try it out. It's a tiny place, and most people seem to do takeout as there was a constant flux of people stopping by to pick up food. Besides us, there were only two other small parties dining in. However, the staff were super friendly and attentive to all customers. Let's start with the good. The eggplant dish is amazing! I've never had anything like it before, and I've had a lot of Thai food in my life. I think what makes it a little extra special is the drizzle of coconut cream, maybe, to finish the dish (see photo). So, it's not quite like a full-on curry but it offers some yummy creaminess to the dish. My partner and I were raving over this dish and fighting for the last spoonfuls of sauce. The pad see ew was also good, and I loved the use of Chinese broccoli in it instead of regular broccoli. My kids did not like the Thai iced tea, saying that it wasn't sweet enough. I had a sip and agreed with them. Ironically, though, I thought the rest of the dishes were maybe a little too sweet, so it seemed odd that the drink was not sweet enough. Overall, I think the dishes here may be too sweet for some folks, with not enough balance between sweet and sour. However, for sure we will be coming back for the eggplant dish! read more

A great new discovery for us in East Sac. Tasty Drunken noodle chicken & chicken Panang Curry dish. Portions are good size. Friendly attentive service. Prices a bit high. In a strip mall near Club 56. Will return read more

Heard about Charm Thai from a friend and tried it out last night. Debated on Door Dash as it's hecka cold out but seemed there was going to be a long wait so decided to bundle up and check it out in person. Wasn't too busy in the restaurant and found a nice seat. Server was friendly and chatted but we could tell he was a bit busy as we could see a lot of to go orders stacking up on the counter. Menu was enticing and we ordered spring/fresh rolls, yellow curry and basil fried rice. After a VERY long wait our food arrived and it was just absolutely delicious. I added some chili flakes and ended up mixing the food up on my plate and the flavors were just stunning. After the rush we chatted with our server for a bit who was very kind and we didn't hold a grudge over the wait time for the food (he was contrite but not really his fault). I will definitely return but maybe not at peak time on a Saturday night! read more

Great Tom Yum soup and summer rolls, courteous service. Would be nice if they had outdoor seating. Would return to try more dishes. read more

The food here is pretty good! I got the chicken satay, pork laab, chicken pad kee mao, minced pork basil stir fry, and sticky rice. Chicken satay was okay, the sauces were delicious. Larb moo was tasty! It could have used more rice powder and more cabbage or maybe add cucumber or lettuce as a side. The basil stir fry was delicious! For the price I think you could have put in a side of sticky rice. Pad kee mao was very flavorful and tasty too. I really liked how thin the chicken was sliced. My only real complaint and it's a big one was that I ordered EVERYTHING Thai hot and not a single item was hot. I was mortified. It wasn't even spicy. There was one sad lonely pepper on my larb and the most pathetically not spicy dinner I'd ever received when ordering anything Thai hot. It makes me question if I should come back. Thai hot means HOT!!!! If you're not a chili demon like me, definitely try this place! read more

Found this spot on Instagram and had to stop by! I loved the food. One of the best Thai spots in town. We had lunch here on a Sunday. Liu, our hostess, was kind and very welcoming. Decor was trendy. For appetizers we had the curry puff pastries with chicken. AMAZING. The crust was moist and buttery! For entrees, we ordered the ginger stir fry with chicken and the eggplant delight with pork. The sauces were delicious with the right amount of spice. I requested fresh chili fish sauce on the side. I appreciated the fresh lime and Thai chili in it! We ate everything with white rice. Soooo yummy. Highly recommend! read more

The food here was great! It's a small restaurant but it wasn't too crowded when we arrived, and my husband and I were seated right away. The server brought us a bottle of water and the table was already set with water glass, plates, and cutlery. It's a casual atmosphere, and we caught them mid undecorating from Christmas still. They took our order quickly, and the food didn't take very long either. The flavors were delicious, and you could tell the food was fresh and high quality. We had the Yellow Curry with a side of white rice, and the chicken Pad Thai. We will definitely be coming back here. It's probably our new go to Thai spot! read more

I work down the street and stop by here every once and awhile when I didnt feel like packing lunch. Their service is SO good, always so nice and happy to be there. My favorite Thai food is red curry, I love it extra spicy and their Thai hot was exactly the way I like it sooooo good. I got their drunken noodle today for lunch with a "hot" spice level, not as spicy as the hot for the red curry but it can't out fresh from the wok so it was spicy and temperature hot! Got to come back to try more! read more

This is another unassuming spot in Sacramento that could literally end my wandering from one Thai place to another. Parking was a little challenging, but it was worth it!! The staff was so friendly and knowledgeable about the food traditions in different parts of Thailand. He helped us make decisions about specific ingredients that led to me actually trying a different Thai dish! That is a BIG THING because I love my tried and true dishes so much that I usually don't deviate. I left not only satisfied but also delighted with the cultural information. read more

My in laws picked out this place, and it was amazing. I would order that same meal all over again. No crazy decor just enough space to seat lots of people. Service was super helpful and patient while we caught up. We ordered so much food more than enough for three people. The ginger shrimp, tofu eggplant stir fry, panang curry, and pad see ew. All so delicious, was so happy with it. We will be back with more family. read more

I was craving soup one Wednesday evening. Kept thinking what kind of soup I wanted and ding - Thai soup came to mind. I looked up Thai and wanted to check out a place I haven't been to, yet. Called to place a pick up order and the lady who answered was so friendly and nice. Told me the truth that the mango wasn't in season anymore so it might be sour if I got the dessert. I forgot to order a Thai tea but that's the perfect excuse to come back. I did a pick up order. I got the Tom Yum, Tom Kha, and laab. All hot because I wanted to see how spicy this place does it. It can definitely be spicier! But anyway: Tom Yum is sour and hits all the right notes. Tom Kha is soooo creamy and rich, smooth, and perfect. The ground pork laab is good, but I think there could be more protein provided. The cucumbers and cabbage were fresh, the right amount (not too much greenery that goes to waste), and crunchy. The food is goooooood. After a couple bites of everything, I made a promise I'd have to come back with coworkers, my boyfriend, my sister, or alone!!! Lol, this won't be the last time I consume Charm Thai's food. First time picking up and the parking lot is a one way to enter. Don't enter through the exit (like I did ) and Charm Thai is the corner spot, right off the ever so popular Elvas Ave. I'll do an updated review when I dine in! read more

Best quality Thai food in Sacramento. Great portions, consistent quality and service.

I love Thai food. Let me correct that, I'm obsessed with Thai food! So naturally, a 4.7 rated Thai restaurant, I was excited! I called in an order of Pineapple fried rice and avocado spring rolls. Upon arrival, $44. 2 items! I'm even more excited, because obviously it's going to be good, right? Wrong. The rice is kinda hard. It's very dry. It's not flavorful! There are black RAISINS, far more than there are pineapples, and I was not expecting that. I haven't even tried the spring rolls. Suffice it to say, it tastes like Grandma Alice's rice pilaf, not Yiy Dao authentic cooking. read more

I have been to plenty of thai food and almost every time I order Larb & Pad See Ew to see if I like this Thai spot. This place did not disappoint with that. Everything was delicious! I love how they give you sticky rice in the rice basket. Keeps it so fresh! The server here gives the greatest advice when it comes to their chili oil and homemade thai chili sauce! I would say comparable to the crack sauce hehe! They constantly check on you if you need anything else at the right time. Not too much but also not ignoring you completely. My only complaint is how hot it is in there. We've gone here often in the summer time. It is quite rough, specially if the fan is not pointed towards the dining area. Unless you like the summer heat! I will definitely be coming back here to keep trying more of their menu options. read more

I recently dined at this Thai restaurant and had a wonderful experience. The ambiance was warm and welcoming, with tasteful decor that reflected Thai culture. The staff was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. The food was the real highlight. I tried the Pad Thai, crispy pork belly, and Lao style papaya salad, all of which were packed with authentic flavors and just the right amount of spice. The ingredients tasted fresh, and the presentation was impressive. The flat baskets decors in the ceiling makes this restaurant feels like home to me since I am Hmong and have those baskets in my own home too! read more

Service is quick, and workers are friendly. I came in with a friend on a weekday afternoon to escape the heat, and they offered big smiles and big fan units.

There are better spots to go for thai food in town, try coconut on t! read more

Authentic Thai food that reminded me of the time I spent in Thailand! We had the Thai curry puffs, shrimp pad thai, pineapple fried rice, chicken basil stir fry, and for dessert the mango sticky rice with coconut milk on top. Everything was delicious and the service was good. I also liked the decorations inside and on the ceiling. Whenever someone asks me for a recommendation for Thai food now, I always recommend this restaurant. read more

Awesome find in a tucked away strip mall in East Sac. You are sure to find a cool vibe with great 70's and 80's music at this place. Table and padded surrounding seating with large windows and nice atmospheric design. The staff is welcoming and service is exceptional. We ordered the yellow curry with chicken. The flavor was exceptionally good, very fresh, and full of flavor. We We also ordered drunken pad Thai noodles which we requested medium spicy. The dish was absolutely amazing and great flavor, however, it was a little bit on the spicy side. I recommend maybe asking for light spice unless you want something that's very spicy. The servings were large and the price is very reasonable. I highly recommend this delightful restaurant. I will definitely be back. read more

What a fitting name for this cute little spot! Charm Thai has a simple and straightforward menu, which I appreciate about any restaurant. I went for the Pad Thai and Drunken Noodles, which were both DELICIOUS - full of flavor, cohesive without mixing together, and not overly saucy or dry. The medium spicy level gave both of these dishes a nice kick for me. My one critique would be the drunken noodles had less noodles and more vegetables than I expected, but everything was so tasty I didn't really even mind. On top of this, the service was excellent, which really makes a 5-star experience for me. Would definitely return and recommend! read more
