My daughter and I stopped in for a late lunch and did not leave disappointed! We ordered the Egg Rolls, Fried Noodle with Chicken, and Panang Curry with Chicken. The Egg Rolls were crispy and fried to perfection with no soggy wrapper inside (which I detest), and both entrees were delicious as well. The portion sizes are impressive for the price and we both took home plenty for lunch the next day. Service was excellent - food came out fast and our waitress was super friendly and nice to chat with. If my next visit is as good as my first this will be my new favorite Thai spot! read more

Mercy Thai Restaurant - Fried Noodle with Chicken - Thai Near Me - Council Bluffs, Iowa

I love Mercy Thai's Pineapple Fried Rice! If you are eating here, you absolutely must order this dish. First of all, the presentation is amazing. The flavor profile is a total home run. It strikes that perfect balance of savory and sweet without being overly sugary. The pineapple chunks are incredibly fresh and juicy, and they don't skimp on the toppings either. You get plenty of tender shrimp, savory chicken, and a generous handful of crunchy cashews and raisins that add the perfect texture to every single bite. I ordered mine at a spice level 8, which gave it just a good kick to balance out the sweetness of the fruit, but you can customize it from 1-10 depending on how brave you are. The service was also super fast and friendly. This is easily some of the best Thai food in the metro area. I will definitely be back to order this again! read more

The atmosphere was very cute, bright, vibrant- and most importantly clean. The lady working the front was extremely friendly. Not being from the area, I wasn't sure if you ordered before you sat or sat yourself- upon being there I realized you can order up front for to-go orders or seat yourself and she will wait on you like a typical restaurant! I don't believe she spoke great English but she understood me/my order perfectly. The food was incredible. I've eaten Thai everywhere I go and this was in line with the best places I've been. The serving of pad Thai is definitely enough for two meals at a fair price. The dessert was also perfect. Highly suggest Mercy Thai and when I come back to the area, I will return! Thanks for the delicious meal! read more

It's been over 3 years and we still regularly go to Mercy Thai. I would say we go at least once a month. We always have good service and the food is delicious! Better than any Thai we've had in Omaha. Come check out Mercy Thai! Support local! Recommended dishes: Fried noodles, fried rice (good for people new to Thai), Pad Thai, Pad Ramen, Fried Veggies...you can't go wrong! read more

A Last-minute decision and a great meal! Located on the Council Bluffs side of the pedestrian bridge this little restaurant offers big flavor. A cozy little restaurant with pictures of Thailand is very clean and always busy! We were pleasantly greeted and offered to grab a table. Our server was very pleasant, but there was a bit of a communication gap, and some of our order did not quite make it as a result. I would simply suggest verifying the order after it's taken to avoid any confusion. The food was just as we remembered, very, very good! We had some of their fried tofu with sweet chili sauce and chicken (alternate proteins also available ) pad Thai, which is available with heat levels that go from 'mild' to 'melt your face'. We ordered entirely too much food and still our bill was super economical. There is no alcohol available at this location, however a nice varieties of Thai tea offer a great pairing. Plenty of parking in the area with no meters makes for easy access and no parking ticket worries! Also accessible via foot from downtown or just a bicycle right away over the bridge. A really great place to check out. I would highly recommend verifying the hours as they don't post closures on the web and they tend to be closed for holidays. read more

We waited 40minutes. Two different waitresses walked passed us many many times to not even acknowledge us. No menus no drinks not even a gesture that that they saw us. Similar to the last time we went there. We had been there several times in the past with no issues. Going down hill fast. read more

This incredibly unassuming Thai restaurant is going to blow your mind! We walked over from Omaha and just needed a snack, but then decided to fully commit. The green curry with chicken was full of veggies and chicken and the broth was nice and light. The pad see ew was absolutely delicious! I've had pad see ew all over and this was so good. The right amount of spice and chicken and eggs and bok choy! Amazing. I enjoyed it so much I ordered it to go and it was just as good reheated the next day. Our server was kind and attentive and she got us everything we needed. The restaurant space itself is nothing to write home about, but it's clean and open and airy. I will definitely be back! read more

I love Mercy Thai, so I was excited to have one close to me. I Ordered drunken noodles, they didn't have the noodles, so they replaced them with pad Thai noodles. So that was ok I guess. But it's not the same. I was excepting sweet, sour, spicy salty Thai basil and heat. All the wonderfulness of drunken noodles. But, it was salty and hot, and lacking terribly in sauce. All those exciting tongue tickling flavors were missing. Oh how disappointed I was. I also ordered egg rolls, were just ok and very greasy. And the dipping sauce was offensively salty. Maybe it was a bad day, and I might try again. But I'll guess I'll just stick to the original Mercy Thai. read more

This place is amazing. We were down at Rivers Edge and spotted it. You walk in to a super clean, cozy environment. It wasn't real busy so we were seated right away. We ended up ordering a Spring roll appetizer(4), then Pad Thai with chicken and Fried Rice with chicken for our meals. I liked that they asked how spicy we wanted on a 1-10 scale. I love Pad Thai but not really spicy so this was a real plus. The food was excellent with nice size portions (I had to get a to-go box). I highly recommend this restaurant. It checks all the boxes! read more

I live in downtown Omaha and I love to walk on the Bob Kerry Pedestrian Bridge over to Iowa Unfortunately, the Council Bluffs side is not very walkable. There is one restaurant in the area, Mercy Thai. Fortunately, it is quite tasty. Affordably priced, with fast and friendly service. I got the Pad Thai Woon Sen, which is just like regular Pad Thai but with glass noodles instead of rice noodles. It is generally more savory than the regular, and the noodles are kind of crispy/springy. It was really good. The Thai iced tea and coffee were generously sized (as was the food). I definitely will be coming back! It's a great resting point after walking the bridge. Must admit though that after eating a lot of food and still having a lot to carry home, the walk back was a little more challenging! read more

I love Thai food! I have been to a few different places but this one was really great. Big portions for the price, food was delicious full of flavor. Service was excellent Only thing, my daughter ordered a taro bobba, good flavor but super sweet that my daughter didn't like it at the end. I tried it and yes too sweet. Other than that a good place to go for lunch or dinner read more

I heard about this new Thai restaurant in CB and had to give it a try ASAP. I showed up when they opened for dinner last night, at 5pm, and was immediately greeted and sat. I ordered the fresh spring rolls and the Drunken Noodles. The rolls and the Drunken Noodles came out in no time; (a few minutes apart). The spring rolls were really fresh but had too much carrot and lettuce and only had a couple little shrimps. I probably won't get these again, which is a shame. The Drunken Noodles were good. Every ingredient looked and tasted fresh. I got a 5, which is probably a tad too hot for me so I'll get a 3 next time. (They ask you to choose a hotness level, 1-10.) Next time I'll probably get the old tried and true Pad Thai but wanted to try something new this time. I'll definitely be going back to try their other dishes, as well as some curry and will update my review if anything changes. read more

This is hands-down, the best restaurant in Council Bluffs. I unfortunately forget about it often because it's right at the rivers edge and it's just not somewhere I go very much in council Bluffs, but I need to start remembering it more. Every single time I go I am so impressed with the food. The soups are outstanding and so are the curries. They generally don't have a ton of stuff on hand so you might wait a tiny bit but it's 100% worth it. The flavors are amazing and the food is fresh. I really hope people continue to support this restaurant so we don't lose it. They're so few amazing restaurants in Council Bluffs and this one is seriously a gem. read more

This was our first visit to the CB Mercy Thai, and we will be back! I was pleased that there were so many customers in this new restaurant. In my opinion, it is the best Thai food in the metro area! We started with crab Rangoon, which have a twist to other crab Rangoon I've tried. There is some sweetness, like pineapple. I can't quite put my finger on it. I ordered the Tom Yum Kai soup, which was served in a hot kettle with sterno. It was served steaming hot! I asked for a side of rice to add to the soup. It was very flavorful and had lots of veggies and herbs added for extra flavor. They ask your spice level, and I'm a wimp so I order one! It was perfect. read more

A nice spacious restaurant in a new development area. Since we're in the area, will try this location out. Got seated quickly and placed our orders. All our dishes were good and flavorful with the only disappointment is the sticky rice was very hard to eat. For 3 bucks, you get half a fist size helping. read more

Classic pad Thai. Nice and fatty mouthfeel. It's just bit on the peanut butter-y side for my taste but still very good. Wish it was a bit heartier but it was by no means skimpy. Do not trust their spice level. I had a two because usually Thai kicks my butt... but this was very tame. Wife got the fried rice. It was basic but performed well. Expect leftovers, because it was large. Egg rolls came STRAIGHT out the fryer and were a crowd pleaser. Service was a bit disorganized but functional. The crew wanted to be there. The atmosphere is a bit odd since it's in the base of an apartment building, but I've eaten in weirder places. Reasonably priced. Nice to have SOME Thai food in Council Bluffs finally. read more

Great, authentic Thai food. One of the first places I've been outside of Thailand that spices their food well (hot if you want it). Great, fast service in a great, bright, clean environment. Will definitely come back often. It is in an unusual, residential area, but is located just on the Iowa side of "The Bob" bridge. read more

The service is always friendly and attentive. The food is really good. I really like the cashew chicken. The sauce is so very tasty. I really have yet to try anything that I don't like. Everything I've tried from them has been good, and decently portioned for the price. The only critique I really have is that the spice level can be kind of all over the place. I like spicy. I'll order a 7 or 8 spice level and sometimes that will be what I get, and sometimes it comes out to the table at a 1 or 2 level. Not a big deal. I'll eat it anyway because the food is good. It's ok if it isn't spicy. There have been a time or two that the spice levels for different dishes got mixed up, as in I ordered cashew chicken and got the level 3 spice that my daughter asked for, and she got my level 8 spice in her tofu pad thai. I hate sending food back so we just traded dishes with each other and it was ok. But, I can see how it could be a problem for someone else, so it is something to keep in mind when you are ordering. read more

Extensive menu, great flavors, efficient service. Clean. Parking in the neighborhood is easy.

We ordered Pad Thai with a mild hot sauce. It was excellent. Eggs rolls accompanied the takeout meal and completed the experience. When asked to choose from 1 to 10 for spice level, just know that a level 5 is slightly elevated for most. The flavor is clean and fresh. read more

Mercy Thai is THE best curry I've ever had!!! We visit Omaha NE. Once a month and it's the first place we go. The portions are large and the price is very reasonable ! And the people there are so nice, they always remember us and are truly glad to see us back, that means a lot! read more

Great new food addition to Council Bluffs. We tried it on opening day and the food and service were both great. We started with crab rangoons and fried eggrolls. We really enjoyed the flavor of both appetizers. It was a cold rainy day so the Tom Yum Knook soup and Drunken Noodles were perfect dinner choices. We both went with level three for spice and it was a nice, slight kick of heat that did not overpower the food. The hot tea was served in a beautiful pot and had nice aromatics and flavor. Overall, really great experience and food! We'll definitely be back. read more

The restaurant is situated across the pedestrian bridge, on the Council Bluff side. We visited Mai Thai in the afternoon . While the fare proved to be reasonably priced, regrettably, the service suffered from delays likely attributed to the bustling midday rush. Our selection of crab Rangoon, though passable, leaned towards excessive oiliness, detracting from its overall appeal. However, the spring rolls, featuring a delectable tofu filling, arrived refreshingly crisp and flavorsome. The pièce de résistance, undoubtedly, was the impeccably spiced red curry; though we had opted for a level of heat rated at 9, it failed to deliver the anticipated fiery kick, albeit its rich flavor profile was thoroughly satisfying. Nevertheless, a discernible drawback was the discernible oiliness, which marred an otherwise delightful dish. Notably, the conclusion of our meal was sweetened by the unexpected treat of guava candy, provided alongside the bill. In summation, while our dining experience merited commendation for certain aspects, it ultimately garners a modest rating of 3 out of 5. read more
