Every month a group of 6 to 10 friends get together for dinner at a different restaurant, we like to go to one that is well liked, has very good food and service, is reasonably priced, and it's not so loud so we can all hear each other. Life Leaf Thai is all that and more! The food was so good not only was the owner there, but he recognized some of us and he was actually our server! He made great recommendations for food and Thai beers, and he did not try at all to oversell or upsell at all. The food was hot and it was so good and overall, it was a great friendly evening and a good time was had by all. read more

We came here for lunch on Saturday. This was our first time coming here under the new name/ownership. (previously Mama Thai) We split the Crab Rangoons, Pad Woon See with Chicken and Massaman Chicken Curry. Each dish was very good. The flavor and the quality of the produce and chicken were great. The quantity is plenty also. We had enough for leftovers for dinner. The staff is very friendly and attentive. I'm sure we will be back again. read more

I've always wanted to visit Mama Thai, and I'm happy to see that they reopened with the same family. I came here with my cousin for dinner, and everything we tried was delicious. The service was great, and everyone there was warm and welcoming. We ordered fried calamari, roti with red curry sauce, drunken noodles with shrimp, massaman curry with chicken, and mango sticky rice. The calamari and roti were perfectly flaky and flavorful. The drunken noodles packed a punch with some spice with a lot of flavor. The massaman curry was creamy and nutty wit a generous proportion of meat and veggies. The of the show was the mango sticky rice though. The mangoes were super sweet, and the sticky rice were smooth and creamy. Neither of us could stop eating it from the plate until we completely finished it. I love Thai food, and this place is definitely a winner for me! read more

Delicious ..... Was craving pad Thai and Tim Ka Gai and wanted to try someplace new. So glad we tried Lime Leaf! Looking forward to our next visit! read more

The Staff, especially the manager Patrick, are awesome! Creating great conversation and have that southern charm for sure! The resturant itself is tucked in an area surrounded by great restaurants, but this jewel stands out to me amongst them all! I only wish I could've got photos of the food, but it was so good it was gone before I thought about it! We ordered the spicy basil, green Curry, khao soi, spring rolls, and spicy honey chicken wings... so GOOOODDDD!! Everything was served piping hot and was delicious. If you're in the mood for Thai food, I would highly recommend checking this place out! The spice levels are ON POINT! read more

Just got lucky with this one! Friday nights with no dinner plans, lead us here. Food was excellent! Pineapple rice was so flavorful. Great portion. Scallops were fresh & tender. Delicious. Very busy servers which is understandable. They were all nice. Spoke to regulars, while waiting for table. Always a great start when you hear from someone who knows the menu. It's a BYOB til they get liquor license. We will be back! read more

I ordered the Nam Tok (Waterfall) Pork, which was interestingly super similar to Vietnamese Bo Tai Chanh. It definitely reminded me of a homemade dish. The Beef Pad Thai had the base flavor, yet a bit different than other Pad Thais i'm use to (every region does it differently). It was still flavorful, and the noodles were cooked nicely. They also give you a huge portion, which is a nice plus! There were no spices added to these dishes as I was going to add sate to them at home, but i'm sure they'll add/give you some if you ask. The employees were also kind, and the place seems to be busy regularly. read more

I ate here for my first time recently, but I had to come back again for their spicy Chicken Pad Thai. It was so well balanced and flavorful! The wait didn't take long, and the food came out steaming hot and fresh. A very filling and satisfying meal. The staff is very nice, and I found myself not having to ask for anything. The restaurant is very clean and open feeling, with plenty of dining available. I will definitely be eating here again when I'm working in the area. read more

Great food and service at a reasonable price. Will be going back soon and often. i highly recommend them.

Delicious food and fantastic service. We dine in and order take out from here very often. Also on point.

Went for lunch. Got the Lunch Green Curry and the Lunch Drunken Noodles. Very good. Photos were taken after a couple bites sorry. Not pictured but we got the Roti Bread as well (this was my favorite item for sure). Entrees also came with salad. Service was great and food came out fast (they were not busy at the time). read more

I honestly think we came on the wrong day. It felt like the crew was overwhelmed with people in house and online orders. They did their best to make up for the soup being forgotten about then finally brought out after our main course came out with a discount. The dumplings were not tasty for me at all. The filling has the consistency of some kind of canned meat that is spreadable. I would revisit that filling. Usually dumplings have meat in them that is recognizable if I cut it in half and if not then at least when I eat it, not here. The dumplings are a hard pass for me. I usually get pad Thai but I went outside my comfort zone and got ginger stir fry, it was what it was supposed to be but was just okay. The Thai iced tea was delicious. read more

My lunch group ate at Lime Leaf for lunch today. The food was delicious! The waiter was very accommodating when it came to how spicy we wanted our dish & letting us have separate checks. I don't eat spicy food at all & I loved my meal. Service was great! We'll definitely go back. read more

I just had the pleasure of eating and Lime Leaf and it did not disappoint! The food was outstanding, the service was phenomenal, and they had such a great menu it was so hard to pick what to get. They are so kind, my husband and I did not realize we showed upright before close and we offered to leave or just get take out but they insisted we could stay and they gave us such wonderful service. I got the red curry, house salad, and tuna tower and it was all so excellent. Honestly I forgot to take pictures of all of it because I just dove right in as soon as it hit the table. I will absolutely be back! I can't wait to try some of their specials. read more

Lime Leaf (formerly Mama Thai) is my go to spot when I have a Thai craving. The same family is there making the same awesome dishes. The food is always outstanding. The service is top notch. Patrick always takes such good care of me and whoever I am with. The bus boy was very attentive with refills and running food. You can tell it is a family business because there is a lot of care and love put into the food and friendly service. The restaurant is very clean and a genuinely great ambiance. Highly recommend! read more

My Wife and I tried Lime Leaf last night. Patrick welcomed us when we walked in and introduced himself. We had the coconut shrimp to start. They were perfectly fried and well seasoned. She had the shrimp pad thai. I had the scallops in green curry with shrimp. Both were fantastic, some of the best tasting green curry I've ever had. I've been trying to expand the tastes of my wife. It's places like Lime Leaf that makes it super easy. My only complaint is they weren't open today (Sunday) because I wanted to go back. Thank you Patrick and staff, for a wonderful evening! read more

Service was wonderful. The food was hot and delicious. Vegan choices. Had the green curry with tofu. For appetizer had veggie fried spring rolls. Very good. The restaurant was very clean and enjoyed the booth seating. The only issue was the noise level. It was very loud. Want to go back and try veggie pad tai. Very accommodating to requests. Parking lot accessible as well as restaurant. Recommend. read more

Impressed with their service, portions and taste. Ordered the Khao soi, which was my first time having the dish. Rich and flavorful, I can see why it came highly recommended. Will definitely be coming back to have this delicious curry with two types of noodles. Clean bathroom, plenty of parking and really cute atmosphere. Perfect for a date or a quick lunch. Honestly think it's the best Thai food in the city so will be back! read more

The exchange of hands in this restaurant is obvious. With a little more "Juj" this place could be a real destination. The food was fresh and well seasoned. Both my partner and I had Green Curry with different types of seafood. A great deal of information about the restaurant can be obtained by enjoying the quality of the dumplings . They were well seasoned and the dipping sauce was a good mix. Only hint, a little less dough and a little more meat. However, the Curry was delicious and the portions are nice. The service was excellent and engaging conversation with the entire staff. I'll definitely be back! read more

Ordered the pad Thai. The presentation was nice but the taste was not as expected. It was spicy (which is fine) but other wise bland. Would not order again but would possibly try different items read more

We stopped by the Lime Leaf Thai after seeing some good reviews on NextDoor. And we were not disappointed. The food was amazing and service was good. We arrived a bit early and not many people were there, but that quickly changed. My wife ordered her favorite Thai dish, the Red Curry, and that got us a chance to compare this restaurant to others which Lime Leaf Thai Eatery became our new favorite. I got more adventurous and tried something I didn't know exactly what it was but the waiter explained after I ordered. Even his excitement made me realize it was going to be something great. The Nam Tok dish was served basically over a salad with a lime and herb sauce and was delicious! I didn't see any alcohol there at the moment. I am not sure if there are plans to add any in the future. I did see others BYOB. The place was neatly decorated and kept clean. read more

THE BEST Thai I have ever eaten! From the spring rolls to the ginger salad and my Spicy Basil Chicken and my son's Beef Curry...everything was great. We even bought some of their ginger sauce to take home to put on our salads. Plus, the guy that runs it is super friendly and helpful. So glad I detoured here. read more

Are you kidding me this place is amazing! Super clean, super friendly, and that food though! A five party all different dishes and every one was fire! I couldn't suggest one thing just go there! read more

Had this for the first time last night for dinner. Y'all, the fried ribs were falling off the bone! For $10, I am planning on picking up a plate of ribs at least once a week. Everyone seemed to like their dish, but the dishes could use a bit more flavor. For a convenient spot on the eastbank, I will order from here in the future. read more

Do not sleep on Lime Leaf! Best curry around and the waitstaff is very kind. Great vibes for dine in too!

This place is amazing!! The food is spectacular and the service is outstanding!! As someone with a peanut allergy, I cannot eat at many Thai restaurants, but Lime Leaf went above and beyond to make sure my food was safe. They only have a few menu items with peanuts, and unlike many Thai restaurants do not cook with peanut oil!! I tried the khao soi for the first time and have been back to get it again!! The roti bread is amazing (both Nutella type and regular with curry dip!!)!! 1000% would recommend!! Take out is super good too and stays fresh!! Definitely gained a regular in me read more
