Everything. Our server was Anna and she was so sweet and so amazing and took such good care of us. We love their promo if you spent $40 right now you get a little extra item of your choice. We chose the seaweed salad and it was beautiful. We also got the lemongrass pork bowl and it was delicious. I like spice *#4 and it felt really good on the front end, I could taste all the flavors! Fantastic meal beautiful drinks nice atmosphere when we're back in town. We're coming back here. read more

Open on the later side, Deejai is as you'd expect from the name, a good pick for a carberific noodle dish or, on the lighter side, a veggie sushi roll. Our table of four rolled up right before closing (15 min late to our reservation) and we were able to be seated with a gentle reminder that the kitchen would be closing soon (totally understandable). We were taken care of swiftly and didn't feel rushed at all (we tried to be considerate. We were one of two or three tables at this point of the night). I've had takeout from here before and liked it (one of the Thai dishes). My veggie sushi roll when I dined was perfect. Service was perfect. The only thing I wished for was a few more vegan options on the menu as I expect a little more variety at an Asian fusion restaurant. Cute front patio set up too, when al fresco dining is on the brain. read more

I chose this place after eating at the Deejai Thai food truck at Armored Cow Brewery the previous Friday. When we arrived, I told the hostess that I was back for more after having such a great experience with the food truck. She informed me that the restaurant was not affiliated with the food truck, but added that they were even better. I ordered the same dish I had at the food truck, Drunken Noodles with Chicken, and my boy ordered a ramen soup of some sort (I can't remember the exact name). When the food arrived, I wasn't overly impressed. My dish wasn't bad, but it just didn't have the same flavor or wow factor as what I had from the food truck. My boy wasn't a fan of his soup either. He commented that the ramen noodles looked like the kind you can buy at the grocery store. The flavor wasn't terrible, but it wasn't good enough for him to eat much of it, and he didn't even want to take the leftovers home. Overall, I'd call it an average dining experience. The food was okay, but it didn't live up to my expectations, especially after such a great food truck meal. I don't plan to return. read more

Deejai Noodle Bar - Drunken noodles with chicken (spicy level four) - Thai Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Anna absolutely killed it on the recommendation on the Kao Soy. I went with the level 4, but could have done the level 5 - I enjoy spice, but if you're a mayonnaise girlie opt for the lower levels. Also got himachi jalepeno to start, some of the freshest fish I've had in a long time. Thick pieces of yellowtail and the ponzu was great. The music was one of my favorite parts of my meal: Conspiracy (Paramore), Glycerine (Bush), and I Miss You (Blink-182) just to name a few. Ask for Anna because she was the best person to take care of you! Amazing recommendations, cool chick all the way around, and top tier. This will be a new haunt of mine! read more

I've been to Deejai's twice and have enjoyed both experiences, however, this last time I tried the Salmon Curry for the first time and I just have to say....if you were even thinking about, JUST DO IT! It was SO delicious and flavorful and I'm so glad I listened to our waitress who suggested it. I will note that if you don't like spice, this is not the dish for you. But if you do, you will love it! It has just the right amount of kick! I also got some edamame and Thai tea which was really delicious! The staff is extremely nice and welcoming and it has not been super busy the times I've gone, but they do take reservations so I would still recommend to do so! The restaurant is pretty chill and has nice vibes. They have a special of if you spend $40 you can get a free item and we chose cheesecake, which was just your standard cheesecake but still good! Highly recommend and I will most definitely be back for the Salmon Curry! read more

We have been to Deeja multiple times and have always really enjoyed it. The parking lot is small but there is also plenty of free street parking. It is a few blocks away from all the bars so I enjoy that it's away from the crowded streets but also close enough to easily drive to a bar or small concert venue. In the past, I have ordered their salmon curry which is phenomenal but expect to take some home because it's rather large. This time around we ordered the Honey honey, Firecracker, and Red dragon rolls. We loved the rolls, they were fresh and a great price. read more

My wife and I were so let down tonight. We love the Providence Rd location and this was our first experience at this one. We picked up Pad see ew, pad Thai, spring rolls, and steamed dumplings. The pad see ew and pad Thai were both dry and flavorless. The dumplings were flavorless. The spring rolls were the only decent item. Then, I found a hair in my pad see ew. So bummed. Won't be back to this location read more

Fantastic Thai red curry. My only downside is you cannot order the red curry to go, only in sitting down, online menu error. It is a large portion, which I always take home leftovers, literally about half of it. The Red Curry does not have peas which I like, I hate peas. They ask for your desired spice level, I ordered a 3 which is a good, light, mouth-burning spice. If you cannot handle spicy I would order a 1 or not order the red curry at all. Or do and build your spice tolerance. Very attentive staff, almost too attentive. I want to be left alone sometimes. Their spring rolls were also tasty. Tried some kind of sushi, shouldn't have as I hate raw fish, but according to my Sushi lover accomplice, they were just mediocre. Order curry, or noodles(their name) but not raw fish here. Curry is love and life. read more

I haven't been impressed by a meal in a longgggg time. The food was wonderful. Literally everything ordered was a hit. We had a Boss sushi roll 10/10, the Thai Wings 10/10, the Drunken Noodles with Chicken was 10/10, & the star of the show, The Salmon Curry 12/10 Best Curry I've ever had (I don't eat Curry a lot because it's normally too strong for me) This curry was perfect. Creamy, hint of coconut, hint of spices. Everything had FLAVOR. I'll be back very soon to run that Curry back. read more

I only got an order to go so I don't have too much to say, but I enjoyed it. The hostess that took my order was very nice and quick to help and since she knew I'd be next door, she said that she would bring the food over when it was ready. I ordered a spicy crab salad which is just imitation crab, masago in spicy mayo and lettuce. It was the best crab salad I've ever had. It tasted fresh and a lot of different textures.It gave a sweet and savory taste and the perfect amount of spicy from the spicy mayo. It was enough to fill me up so it was the right amount of food. I wish I could have tried more but from the looks of other people ordering food there as well, I can say it is pretty good. read more

If you like authentic Thai food, STAY AWAY!!! While the people working here were very friendly and tried to be accommodating, they could not make up for the poor quality of this food! My wife is Thai and I have lived in Thailand for many years, so we know to set the bar lower when eating Thai food in the states. We usually get simple dishes like somtam and moo ping so we won't be disappointed. It could not have been worse. The papaya salad tasted nothing like what it should be. No sign of chili, no fish sauce, tasted from tamarind and soooo much sugar! Truly awful. The moo ping was not fresh and we had to request sticky rice, the rice we were given was not sticky rice. The taste of the pork was bland and over cooked. We also had a pork noodle soup dish which once again had no flavor. I requested Thai spicy... I got bland chicken soup. When I asked for chilis and some vinegar to help the taste, all I got was puzzled looks. The bar manager came over and was very nice and apologetic about the quality. She offered to take off the cost of one of the dishes which she did. Actually I had no problem paying for what we ordered, but for sure we will never be back. If you love Thai food then this place is very disappointing. There has to be much better places than this in Charlotte! read more

When you search for best restaurant to eat in NoDa neighborhood, Deejai would pop up for sure as one of the top choices. Ever since NoDa been gentrified, there are not a lot of parking for eateries, one of the good things about Deejai, beside their good food is they have parking space available. Food, yes, all kind of Asian flavors, mostly Thai style I think. Also they have Sushi too. Sushi is pretty common in Charlotte area, but good bowl of noodles are harder to get. Anything I try so far is good, especially the duck curry. Very popular. Other soap base dishes are good too. I don't know if they make their broth themselves or not, seems like it because it is not too salty like other asian restaurants. If you are in the area, and want Asian food, this is a place for you read more

Walking into the restaurant, the ambiance was cozy and hip...just what I'd expect from a NoDa restaurant. We were seated in a cozy corner with our large family group and were quite comfortable. Our waiter was super friendly but the service from the bar and kitchen seemed unreasonably slow given the number of people in the restaurant. Flavors were lighter than expected - almost to the point of questioning whether spices were used - especially for a Thai restaurant. Our of everything I tried, I recommend the tuna tataki. We enjoyed it and would probably return if it was an around the corner spot but it wasn't necessarily memorable and tasty enough to make plans to return on our next visit to Charlotte. read more

The food here is decent but many mistakes were made, to the point that I feel like we got unlucky? Keep that in mind as you read this lengthy review. We got the papaya salad, Thai style, at spice level 3/5. To our understanding, Thai style is a savory dish... it came out sweet without any spice. We also got the BFF 2 roll, which came without cream cheese. This is the most egregious error in my opinion. Forgetting a sushi roll's cream cheese is wild! The Hawaiian poke bowl was meant to have spring mix for its greens, but had some pretty pale lettuce leaves instead. Lastly, one of our orders was prepared, but forgotten until we reminded the staff. Our server was nice and addressed the issues we raised so I'm not disparaging the service. Just be aware that dishes may come with missing or incorrect ingredients, judging from our limited experience. Oh and the check will come pre-tipped, but have a tip suggestion too so watch out for that. read more

Our first visit to Deejai Noodle Bar was a great experience. I loved the environment. It had comfortable seating and a casual feel. Our server was friendly and very accommodating. I was really impressed with the presentation of the food. All of the sushi dishes were plated to perfection and you could really tell how much time and focus was put into how the dishes looked and tasted. My boyfriend and I shared the cashew chicken and noodles plate. The flavor was fabulous but was just a tad bit on the spicy side for me. They offer a scale of spice which ranges from 0-5. I typically do fine with medium heat at most places, and with that being said, I'd probably stick with the 0-1 levels. I would highly recommend this restaurant and I look forward to trying some other dishes as well as a dessert (the Thai crepe sounds amazing) next time. read more

Such a cute place and good food! I had a girls night with some friends and we enjoyed great service and options! Thank you!

This place is 4-stars for a reason...SOOO unexpectedly good! Was looking for a quick spot to grab some noodles and I've always seen Deejai, so decided to give them a try. AMAZING!! Got to the restaurant around 12:30pm on a Saturday and I was the first patron. Service and staff was great! They are very in-sync with you and what you're looking for. Inside are plenty of tables and a bar area also. Ordered the Pad Woon Sen bowl and also the freebie edamame (best I've ever had)! Also came with a small egg roll, which was good too. Can't wait to come back and try more items...noodles, sushi, soups, etc.! They are located in NoDa on North Davidson. Parking lot is available in front and on the street. Definitely stop in and give them a try!! read more

In the area to pick up goodies from IKEA and felt like grabbing sushi. That's how we landed on a lunch date here. "Deejai" also means the equivalent of "be well" or "happy" in Lao so it was interesting for me to scan the menu at some lao offerings like kao piuk sen, kua gai and lao style papaya salad to make a few things. On another day I would've wanted to try it out! Never enough lao restaurants out there. We went with ping moo or grilled pork and sticky rice for appetizer with the sushi boat chef's choice for the both of us to share. The appetizer was good! We ate it like a wrap and the sauce offered was something like a fermented balsamic vinaigrette flavor. The sushi boat was impressive and came out with sparkling lights to leave an impression. The proportion between rice to fish was good and everything tasted fatty, smooth and fresh the way I like it. And I usually have a big appetite with breastfeeding meaning a lot of portion sizes don't satisfy me but this did! Would def love to come back and try the rest of the menu. read more

Great spin off the original deejai Thai on providence. Casual but still as good ! Great food and a nice bar menu . Perfect for our pre concert dinner. Service was ok little slack but when you ask for it they'll bring it. Had a nice Cabernet , my friends had a Riesling and traditional Singha beer . Yelp check in gives you free edamame app! They add chili oil to it which was a Nice touch and different. Or you can just get it plain. The green curry mussels were A game ! Wow that sauce was so good and had a nice kick to it. Never really experimented with green curry before but I will now! With a few different veggies thrown in this was by far my favorite thing I ate here and a must if you do seafood. The mussels themselves were huge. Lapped on that sauce with some rice at the end. They serve it with bread. I could totally rave about these all day. So next ! The drunken noodles with chicken and the stir fry basil with chicken both good and tasty but not as hot as I expected with a 4 spice level. Definitely get Thai hot next time . We got the spice tray to add more heat. We left stuffed with some leftovers. I'm going back for sure to get some of that green curry sauce . Great place for a quick casual Asian fix. read more

This is my second time coming to Deejai Noodle Bar and I am still confused if I love it or okay with the food. Upon entering, my friend and I are greeted by the hostess, and the environment was relaxing but noisy. Our waiter was really sweet and was very patient with us. This time around, I gave the sushi menu a try. The jalapeños hamachi was sweet and spicy, the salmon appetizers were tender, and the free spring roll appetizers were good. The NODA Delux combo... I guess you can say you get what you paid for. The sushi is mediocre, nothing too extravagant. On the other hand, my friend ordered their kasoy and it was a hefty bowl. The kasoy noodles looked chewy and savory. My only complaint would be not enough soup for the kasoy (sorry no pictures) Not sure if I'll come back to this place, but if I do I'll give the Asian food another try. And if they could please do something about their AC vent on top of their guest. The water was dripping and is not sanitary. read more

Big expectations... somewhat disappointed. I was in town for business and was looking for something other than a meat and three. The service and interactions with the waitstaff were wonderful. The food was a miss- I will take some responsibility in going to a place with Noodle in its name and not ordering noodles however there was a significant amount of space on the menu devoted to the sushi selections. I ordered a combo of rolls- both of them involving shrimp. There was a sliver of shrimp in the crunch roll- there was a lot of filler crunch- and in the shrimp tempura roll, there were some tails hanging out one end but that was it. The soup and peppers where good. Go for the noodles, maybe? read more

Ordered delivery from here because my partner wanted Thai and I wanted sushi. I actually had a hard time finding rolls that I wanted on their menu. Most of them have tempura, cream cheese, spicy tuna, and/or a ton of sauces. I understand that some people like that style of sushi, but it's not my preference. In the end, I went with the dancing eel roll and BFF 1 roll (cucumber wrapped). Sadly, both rolls came slightly wrong. The dancing eel roll had cream cheese which was not listed in the description and was exactly what I was trying to avoid. And the BFF 1 roll was missing yellowtail. In the end, the rolls were okay, but there is better quality sushi in Charlotte for half the price with more fresh options. read more

20% service charge because there were 5 of us. And the service was barely passable. Not horrible, but I think they schmoozed with smaller tables because they had a locked in 20%. The food was OK, but poor price performance. It's noodles and no meat, and it costs as much as a steak. Sorry, can't abide. read more

I've gotten takeout here 100x as this is a go-to spot in NoDa for great Thai food. I have only dined in one other time. It was such a nice night out and I needed a break from work so I decided to treat myself to the Deejai NoDa patio. What happened next was one of the best meals I've had in a very long time. And even though I was a solo diner my server Kassie made me feel like a pampered Princess, proud to call Charlotte home :) read more

This place was absolutely amazing! This was my first time here and the waitstaff greeted me so warmly and help me through the menu. I'm mostly plant based and almost all the food options can be made vegan. I started off non vegan with the combo sushi roll crunch shrimp roll & shrimp tempura roll. For the main course I had the Pad See You made vegan and hot sake to drink. The lighting was really nice and the table set up gave a nice ambiance. I will definitely be back to try more amazing dishes! read more

I came to Deejai noodle bar two weeks ago with one of my girls. It was fantastic! Their sushi was quality. I ordered the jalapeño yellowtail hamachi for an appetizer. AMAZING! I ordered Tom Yum Tofu soup, equally as good! My first trip here was fantastic, I brought my boyfriend here later in the week only to have an opposite experience. We were seated promptly before our reservation time and were told that it would take a minute for our server to get to us, which is totally fine, we were the early ones! When our server gets to our table, I order a hibiscus sweet tea. I had this hibiscus sweet tea earlier in the week while I was dining here with my friend. Our server said that she didn't know if she had that so she would go ask the bartender. I unfortunately had to remind our server three times about my drink, ultimately never receiving it & no communication as to why. We ordered edamame for an appetizer and I ordered the yellowtail Hamachi. The edamame hit the table but the yellowtail Hamachi never came. My boyfriend ordered the drunken noodles and I had ordered the sushi roll of the day! It takes about 20 minutes for my boyfriends food to hit the table. After 15 minutes had gone by and I hadn't received my sushi, or a yellowtail Hamachi appetizer, I asked our server if there is something wrong with the sushi bar. After another 20 minutes, she returns to tell us the sushi bar is backed up. We were getting tired and just wanted to go home, I asked her if she could ask the sushi chefs just to put it in a to go box. I get home starving excited to finally eat some food, only to be extremely disappointed by the lack of freshness of the roll. I really enjoyed this place the first time I went, after this experience I don't know if I can come back. read more

If you like real Thai food don't eat here. Red flag # 1 they spell Khao Soi wrong. Red flag #2 they don't have a spice tray. If you want generic tasting food being touted as Thai, this is a decent choice, the staff is super nice. I ordered basil rice dish, the dish was doused in some kind of sauce (not normal) the rice was quite soggy and soft, and I had asked for a spice level of 5 (the max) but it had no spice (it was so not spicy I'm willing to give grace that they forgot). I used to live in Thailand for 1.5 years. I don't expect every restaurant serving Thai to taste like it came from straight from Thailand, but it is at least expected it attempt to come as close as possible to recreating the tastes and flavors. New to the neighborhood, but won't return :) read more

Had a great time celebrating my friends birthday! Service was top tier and kind and the food was amazing!

When you're on a work trip and wanting some great sushi, you rely on your good friends on Yelp to help guide you. That is precisely what we did and couldn't have been more pleased by this choice. After a quick 18 minute ride from our hotel, we arrived at Deejai and were able to get seated right away. Our server greeted us after a bit of a wait. We ordered up a few starter dishes, the spicy tai sausage and the jalapeno poppers. The starter dishes actually arrived before we even had plates or silverware. Both were really good. Also ordered about 4 different sushi rolls for the three of us and not a single complaint. Everything was made fresh, tasted great, and great presentation. Service could use some improvement, but it wasn't bad. Food/Drink were spot on. Great location and great atmosphere. Would definitely return here in the future. read more

Great food! Super tasty! Helpful staff and a great vibe! Would definitely come back next time I'm in Charlotte!

If I could eat here everyday I would!! The location is right of the busy parts of NoDa so parking can depend on how busy it is (small parking lot). The service here is always incredible and welcoming and their music selection always HITS! The duck curry is one of the best I've EVER HAD and always order it. So creamy, juicy, and delicious. My mouth is salivating just talking about it. Their sushi is also great and recommend it for any sushi enthusiast. I always walk out feeling stuffed, satisfied, and ready to go back!! The pricing is also reasonable compared to other places. The only 'complaint' is that they need to work on their sweet tea recipe. read more
