This is a downside, but they are very good one of my favorite things of them is that they have the perfect amount of spice to get me out of my comfort zone, but not be torture me.(I have an above average spice tolerance.) Cheesling wings. I normally love these things, but I normally get them in boneless. I asked for them boneless to the person taking orders. I got home and realized I hadn't gotten boneless (also bone in wings cost a dollar more. Yes, I was charged for bone-in wings. I looked at the receipt.) Cheesling fries. These were ok, but I don't think the cheese powder added much (it was very sweet. Almost gross but bearable) to them next time. I'll probably just get the regular fries. I will continue to eat from here. But I will be contacting the store tomorrow about my wings not being boneless. The ambience was OK multiple televisions playing multiple different programs and a nice looking bar.

The tteokbokki was the perfect amount of spice (I do wish there were less fish cakes and more of the rice cakes). The waitress was working hard!!! It seemed like she was the only one out front and she ran the place well. She greeted us as we walked in and was very respectful throughout. Plenty of seating available and also options for pick up.

If you want to save yourself an hour or two of cooking mac and cheese at home, get it here. The atmosphere here is very home cooking. It doesn't feel like it's some massive cookie cutter operation.

Located in the Muddy Branch shopping center next to First Watch, Lum Thai promises an authentic Thai dining experience that tantalizes the taste buds and delights the senses. My recent visit was nothing short of excellence, as I enjoyed a flavorful journey through the rich and vibrant tapestry of Thai cuisine. We started with the Chicken Wings, a dish that proved to be a delightful combination of crispy perfection and aromatic flavor of garlic. We also ordered the Chicken Pop, a Thai-style popcorn chicken that was simply irresistible. Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, these bite-sized morsels were bursting with flavor. For our main courses, we opted for the classic Pad Thai with chicken and the Drunken Noodles with beef (medium spice level). Both dishes were a combination of flavors and textures, expertly prepared to showcase the essence of Thai cuisine. The Pad Thai had the perfect balance of sweet, savory, and tangy notes, while the Drunken Noodles captivated our palates with its bold and spicy undertones. Throughout the meal, the employees ensured that our dining experience was nothing short of exceptional. The constant friendly smiles of the employees were so welcoming. Their kindness and attentiveness added an extra layer of warmth to the already inviting atmosphere, leaving a lasting impression on us. Lum Thai surpassed all expectations, delivering a culinary experience that was both memorable and gratifying. From the delectable dishes to the impeccable service, every aspect of our visit was a testament to the restaurant's commitment to excellence. I will surely be returning to try other dishes! read more

I had the Pad Thai from this restaurant via an online order, and I have to say, it was good, but not the absolute best I've ever had. The flavors were nice, but I've had tastier Pad Thai at other places. Still, it's worth a try if you're in the mood for some decent Thai food! Since it was an online order, I couldn't experience the service or ambiance, but I'm definitely looking forward to visiting in person to get the full experience next time! read more

We were greeted and seated relatively quickly and looked over the menu at our table. We asked the waitress if they had fish cakes, since we saw pictures of them on Yelp from this place. She didn't say anything, just pointed at something completely different on the menu. My wife repeated "fish cakes," and she pointed at the chive cakes. It looks like they used to serve them and took them off. That's a simple question with a simple answer, but instead of just saying that, she pointed at a menu twice and made it feel like we were bothering her. We started with the larb chicken and it was good. Limey, strong fish sauce, a little spicy, good contrasting textures. All good things. It's also the only thing I took a picture of, since by that point the experience had started to sour. For entrees, my wife got the boat noodles and I got the krapow. I asked the server to confirm the chicken was ground and she said yes. It came out sliced. Turns out the ground chicken version is on the menu as Chop-Chop Basil, but I was unfamiliar with the menu. It was an easy thing for her to correct but she didn't. I didn't make a thing of it, but it was annoying. I only had a bite of the boat noodles, but it was good. Nice balance of savory with a touch of sweetness. The meatballs were soft and bouncy, the meat was tender, good textures all around. The krapow was very good, mix-up aside. I asked for Thai spicy and they delivered. Excellent flavor, very tender meat, not too sweet. Probably one of the better krapows I've had out here. The part that really soured it was overhearing the manager with another table. An elderly couple and a friend had asked for their vegetables cooked well done since they can't chew firm food. They sent it back saying it was still too firm. The manager came out and basically yelled at them, saying they'd already cooked it longer than usual and couldn't cook it any more, and that next time he'd just put it in a blender. The couple had been nothing but kind about the whole thing. The kitchen did end up cooking it longer, but he never came back out to check if it was actually satisfactory. Maybe that isn't required, but the whole thing read like he was annoyed with them. The food here is excellent, easily five stars on its own. I'm docking a star for service. It was rude how they spoke to the elderly customers, rude to point silently at a menu instead of just saying the fish cakes are gone, and frustrating to be told the meat was ground when it wasn't. I'm not sure I can go back and dine in because it felt like we were a nuisance the whole time. I'll probably do carry out from now on. The inside is small and quaint and it looks like it gets busy around dinner, so come early if you want a table.

The food arrived cold and soggy, which I understand can happen with delivery, but the flavor was bland and the sweet and sour sauce was so thin it was basically water. It wouldn't even stay on the chicken. A restaurant shouldn't cut corners on such an essential part of a main entrée. The fried rice was also disappointing, with large chunks of plain white rice mixed in, almost as if they were stretching a batch of fried rice instead of preparing it properly. On top of that, we haven't received fortune cookies in the last four orders. It may seem small, but when you're paying for a full meal, that little touch matters. Skipping them feels careless.
