Serviceable food, pad Thai was decent, but the Duck special that cost 20something dollars was overcooked and anything but special.

Pretty dang great! It's an asian fusion place to say the least and the taste and quality of their dishes are amazing. I love thai food so I instantly wanted to try this new trending place. Their prices are fair and are more expensive during dinner just as many places but they only go up by less than $5. I loved my vegetarian pad thai and quite possibly the BEST I have had in RVA. I have no clue why I always order vegetarian when it comes to noodle dishes, yet I love meat so much. Oh! vegetarian dishes are sometimes more expensive than the ones with chicken yet I can't seem to conceive why. My dish had a ton of carrots, cabbages, noodles and only 2 tofu slices SO it shouldn't be more expensive. I guess it's more work for them to use a new wok and base ....... ehhh so I guess it makes sense. Who cares, what am I even complaing about! This place is great, forget what I said. Haha Con: orders kind of take a bit longer than other thai places. It's okay, the flavors make up for it. I seriously can't wait to come back!! read more

Nisa Thai Asian Cuisine - Vegetarian pad thai (to-go) - Sushi Bars Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

Some of the absolute best, most reasonably-priced Thai food in the Richmond area. Boasts a wonderful staff and very friendly atmosphere. They are still open for carry-out and delivery throughout these trying times. There's a small parking lot around the backside of the building. My go-to is the Green Curry w/ chicken, which is nothing short of delicious every time. The cooks get the eggplant to the perfect consistency and i can't figure out how they do it. They also have a ton of amazing flavors of Boba tea! The Avocado one is surprisingly good. Quit reading reviews and order from Nisa! read more

Great flavors, unfortunately the veggies were way over cooked or canned, not sure which. End result was a meal experience neither one of us wants to repeat. read more

This new Thai restaurant is pretty much on VCU campus! Across the street from the VCU Business & Engineering building, as well as the Cary & Belvedere dorms. The restaurant has a clean interior and has a welcoming staff. The menu boasts a variety of options, ranging from Vietnamese pho to Pad Thai and sushi. As a person who regularly satisfies their Pad Thai cravings at Elephant Thai, also a nearby Thai restaurant on West Cary St, I would say that this new spot could also become a big contender! I decided to try the Chicken Pad Thai, hot. The food was well seasoned and not as sweet as many other Thai restaurants I've been to. Whether you're looking for pho after a long night out or even wanting a place to hangout with some friends, I would give this place a try! read more

Nisa Thai Asian Cuisine - Chicken Pad Thai, Hot - Sushi Bars Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

Food is pretty good. I've only had delivery and I think some things just don't travel well. Not their fault. Green curry is near perfect. I always have the same delivery driver. He is so kind and amazing. Honestly, I should have written this a long time ago. read more

Ate their chicken pad Thai with medium spice. Was delicious and was a little more spicier than I expected but still loved it! Server was nice and kind as well. Decent restaurant, nothing too grandiose. read more

Decent food, lacking service. We ordered delivery on a Saturday night so expected a wait. I called because it was much later than we were told to expect and the person I spoke to at the restaurant was huffy and while I suspect they were busy he was snippy and unhelpful. The food was pretty good. My mother and I ordered pad thai and thai rice and enjoyed both. The rice wasn't quite spicy enough for my taste, but I know a lot of people prefer milder so just a tip if you do like your food on the spicier side! The portions were filling for us but wouldn't have been for my husband. read more

They have delicious food and are worth stopping by! Their pho, fried rice, and wings are insanely good as well as their Thai iced tea. Mid priced but really fresh and tasty food. read more

Had a great experience here. We had stopped for dinner at Nisa Thai on a trip from MD to NC. Food was good, the server was friendly and made recommendations that worked for us. Overall good experience. Parking directions are somewhat tricky, specially for first time visitors. read more

The food was good. I was a little disappointed by the price and serving size. I have eaten Pho all over this country and though this was good...it wasn't the best I've had but their portion was certainly the smallest I've had and with tip, $22 for a bowl of soup! read more

The panang chicken curry Thai hot was fantastic. Not enough peppers but still fresh and spicy. The drunken noodles were great. Service was the issue really. There was one girl waiting on the entire place. Clearly the rush had just gone through as it was 2 pm and most tables were dirty. She gladly seated us but disappeared for awhile. Another lady came by and asked for our order but brought me Thai ice tea instead of regular ice tea. I felt bad sending it back but I'm not a fan of Thai tea and it wasn't what I ordered. We then had our food order taken and it was prepared quickly and correctly. The down side of this place is the set up. The drinks are on one end of the restaurant and the dishes have to go to the other end of the restaurant. Any time you request a refill she had to run to the other end of the place. Total time suck and hard to provide good service with this set up. Would eat here again. Food was great! read more

This Petersburg location is everything!!! I ordered take out and it was phenomenal! It was served fast and the staff was amazing! I ordered the Crispy Duck, Dumpling and the Beef Pho. I ate it so fast that I didn't get a chance to take a photo! So tasty! Please visit! You will not be disappointed! read more

I wanted to walk around Richmond for a bit and ended up at Nisa Thai right near VCU.. The service was so kind and pleasant.. It definitely has that family atmosphere to it.. The beef drunken noodle definitely made me sweat a little.. It was delicious and I had only ordered it "medium" hot! I also had to check out the Rainbow Roll.. and was extremely pleased with both how it looked and tasted! I would definitely recommend this little place, that if you drove by you probably wouldn't even notice it was there.. But I will definitely hit this place up again the next time I'm back in Richmond! read more

Nisa Thai Asian Cuisine - Drunken noodles and rainbow roll! Delicious! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

Ordered delivery during lockdown. Got to us in a reasonable time. Massaman Curry was delicious! Drunken Noodles hit the spot but could have used a few more shrimp. Definitely will try again. read more

Love love love this place. The folk who work here are super nice. When I need to have Massaman Curry or Tom Kai soup this is my go to place. Have great sushi also - according to my children and the few pieces I snuck and ate - awww so good!! read more

TLDR; Take with a grain of salt, we did order on a holiday. Took 2 hrs for food to arrive, an hr longer than expected. Tom Yum great, Pad Thai less so. Submitted order online at 7:22pm with estimated delivery 8:10pm. Checked multiple times but no updates on tracking site. We called twice and the hostess was very nice, the first time she said it has been a long time (after 1 hr waiting) and we would be the first to get our food when the driver got back and he arrived as she was talking. When I called back (after 1 hr 40min waiting) she said it was taking so long bc our location was so far away, however via google maps it is a 7 minute drive. She said to call back in 15 min if our order still had not arrived. The time elapsed it had not. We received the food at 9:25pm. Food: Tom Yum soup was utterly delicious tangy, a little spicy. Pad Thai was okay, prb wont order again. Drunken Noodle was pretty good, medium spicy, chewy noodles. Food lukewarm. read more

I love their food and their restaurant is very comfortable. They do have thai food but they also have classic eastern Asian dishes like fried rice. Their bubble tea is good too. It hasn't been super busy in my experience just because it's so small so there's good service. read more

Got delivery. Took less thank 30 min. Ordered Pho flank and brisket. Order of spring roll and Thai tea. Was satisfying. Pho surprisingly good for a Thai restaurant. Will order again. read more

Nisa Thai Asian Cuisine - Sushi Bars Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

Great Thai food especially if you're in the VCU area and seeking take out. No points for ambiance as the inside looks like an upgraded fast food place but the food is delicious and authentic. We especially enjoyed the spicy eggplant and papaya salad. The heat level is accurate- when they say spicy, it is. The eggplant was tender but not mushy. The spring rolls were crispy and tasty. Prices were reasonable and our order of 2 entrees, an appetizer, and salad lasted 2 meals for 3 of us (probably 2 meals for 2 normal sized people). Not a great date night or dine in spot but great for take out or a quick bite before or after a show at the Mosque. read more

Order take out though Nosa Thai since it was near VCU and I wasn't sure about street parking . The 4 dishes we order came out very fast 10 -15 min tops. The menu has options from Thai,Veit,Chinese, and Laos cusine (which is where the owner is from) . I was suprised to see that Sushi was also on the menu and definitely will be back to try some. The 4 dishes we ordered was a chicken and shrimp pad thai,drunken noodles, spicy chicken wings and a pinapple fried rice which actually had cashews. The drunken noodles was by far my fav out of the 4 dishes we ordered . The pad thai was standard but I would like to try it again as a dine in instead of take out. Honestly I have yet to have a good take out pad thai. The fried rice was EHHH and probably not something I would get again . I felt like it didnt really have any flavor and the rice had a strange texture to it. Plus I didnt see any pinapples in the mixture. The wings were also delish but I wish it mad more meat on them. I literally ate the chicken to the bone and it was a good price for 6. Overall my meal was pleasent and very filling. Some dishes I liked more then others but I would like to explore the menu more. Staff were friendly and the dinning room was welcoming . Parking could be a little tricky especially during weekdays and with school in session. Its a great spot if you live near campus. Prices are fair with portions enough for leftovers. read more

Hands down this is the best vegetarian pad Thai I've eaten in my 30 years of existence. The crunchy qualities they smoothly incorporate with perfectly cooked vegetables was life changing. I didn't know nirvana until after I finished this meal. Oh, don't forget the crunchy rolls. Necessary prerequisite to your taste bud's pending existential journey. read more

I asked for extra baby corn in my order and they didn't put any baby corn, which was pretty disappointing and then my friend got mixed vegetables in hers when she asked for none. These are small mistakes, but on top of that, the food was salty and not very good. The egg rolls were the highlight. I might be spoiled on really good Thai from my hometown, but this doesn't meet any standard at all. It wasn't bad, but I wouldn't order from here again. read more

When our evening plans were canceled by a storm, we ordered our meal from Nisa via grub hub. I picked up our sushi and pho as the City was battening down their hatches during a tornado warning. I raced back to our hotel room with our meal. It was DELICIOUS and just what was called for to make the most of a night in. read more

Ordered Beef with Basil, Yellow Curry with Chicken, and Sweet and Sour Beef. Beef with Basil came properly spicy with chilli, not an overly oily sauce. Can come less spiced if that's your preference (but I really like spicy food and asked explicitly). Yellow Curry is creamy and delicately balanced. Flavors are subtle with a good portion of chicken and amble gravy to pour over a generous portion of rice. Sweet and Sour Beef is UNLIKE it's Chinese equivalent. Pan seared with a delicious pineapple sauce. Good with beef, but would be stellar with Chicken or pork. read more

Last time I ordered about $40 worth of food, pre tipped 20% and over an hour and a half later I got about a third of my order. One of the dishes was inedible, for multiple reasons. I called and talked to them, they were nice and sent out the missing items. So I tried them again tonight. Again, 3 missing items after an hour wait. They should stop doing yelp delivery, they clearly can't get it right. read more

I was pleasantly surprised! I usually order from another restaurant, but it was closed so I ordered from Nisa. Their Tom Yum soup & chicken curry was very flavorful! Usually when I don't order from my "go to" spots, the food is bland and I can only hope it's spicy to drown the lack of flavor. The food here was really good and I will definitely eat here again! read more

First of all, anything that delivers to Northside is already a winner in my book! My husband and I were wiped out Sunday evening and were craving sushi. I remembered hearing this place delivered sushi and we decided to give it a shot. So glad we did! My husband in particular was extremely skeptical about delivery sushi, and even I wasn't really expecting much, but it was wonderful! The fish was very fresh and very generously portioned. Both rolls and nigiri were well formed, with properly seasoned rice that hadn't been packed too hard or overcooked. If you like scallops, you MUST try their scallop roll - it was delicious and beautiful to look at, too, like a flower. In addition to the sushi, we ordered crying tiger, miso soup and dumplings. My husband had the crying tiger and really liked it. The miso soup was tasty and had bonito flake, which was a nice addition. The dumplings were some of the best I've had in town! Highly recommend these - they are homemade and really, really great! Bottom line, we really loved this place! We will definitely be ordering again (especially delivery!) and can't wait to try the Thai/Lao dishes as well. read more

Football Sundays call for takeout or delivery. When you get tired of greasy pizza and wings, sometimes Thai hits the spot. The cool thing about Nisa Thai is that they offer a variety of Japanese, Vietnamese and Thai food. I do love the idea of delivery pho since it is a scientific fact that pho is one of the best hangover or illness cures ever. You can't beat a good pho. We were in the mood for Thai though so the pho review will have to wait. We ordered the Nisa crispy duck in chili sauce, pad Thai, and crying tiger. Everything was delicious. We ordered everything American hot and it wasn't spicy enough for us, so we'll probably go to Thai hot next time. Beside the lack of spice, the flavors were on point. Pad Thai had enough sauce and noodles were cooked perfectly. It was a little skimpy on the chicken but delicious nonetheless. The crispy duck was fried chicken meets Asian heat. It was served over a bed of cabbage, broccoli and carrots. Since we got delivery this time, they were thoughtful enough to put the chili sauce on the side so the duck stayed crispy. Everything arrived hot (temperature-wise) and took about 30 minutes. We appreciated the ability to order online. A great new delivery options for vcu and fan area residents! Perfect for when you can't agree on what to order. read more

This place is new and just around the corner from me and I am so excited! I had the Panang Curry with chicken and my partner had the Pad Thai. The Panang Curry was extremely good and perfectly spiced. The Pad Thai was really flavorful, but was lacking some spice. We could tell when we first got there that they are still getting use to the service aspect, but overall very good and fast service. I highly encourage anyone to go here! If you love Thai food then you will definitely love Nisa Thai! read more

So I'm up at 5am eating my leftovers from yesterday and all I could think to do was tell the world how good it is! The service was great and their Thai tea hit the spot on this 100° day! My kids devoured the sushi but my shrimp basil was the best I've had in Richmond! No pics. In my tummy. read more

We were disappointed. The miso soup (ok, not a Thai specialty) was not good. Other dishes were edible but bland

I have come to Nisa a few times now since it has open. I've had a positive experience every time! They are great for dining in or takeout. All of the standard Thai dishes (Pad Thai, drunken noodle etc) are large portion and very good. Nisa is a really great place to go when you are craving Thai food. They also have sushi that is decent quality and for a fair price. I'm really glad they opened and have free parking in the back. It is much easier to get to than other Thai places in the area. read more

First time trying this place and it wasn't bad. Flavor was good and spicy level was good as well. They actually give you more rice with the lunch meals than other Thai places in the area. Its close to my house so might be trying this place out more often :). read more

Nisa Thai Asian Cuisine - Basil chicken and pepper steak - Sushi Bars Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

Okay, so basically whenever I want to order take out, my boyfriend knows that this is exactly what I want. They are new to the area, and I'm so glad they are right on campus! Every time I order, they are always really nice and helpful. The prices are really fair and I always get my food very quickly. The food is great and tastes really fresh. I always get the drunken noodles, pad see eew or the curries. I've always thoroughly enjoyed the food! I love the spice levels as well. Whenever I go to another Thai restaurant in the area, I'm never hit with the spice I want, even if I ask for the hottest spice. Here, I get exactly the spiciness that I've been wanting from Thai food which is VERY spicy. Their sushi is great as well and SO cheap. Have yet to try their pho or anything else but I'm sure its good. Also, kind of random, but their Thai tea is the best one I've had in Richmond and something I get every time I order. GET IT. It's sooo good. I recommend this restaurant to everyone all the time and am definitely becoming a regular here. read more

DELIVERY: The food was flavorsome, with generous portions, the spice levels of our Pad Thai orders were spot on (we requested one medium and one mild). The dishes weren't excessively greasy or 'heavy' which is a welcomed change. Everything was accurate and warm when it arrived. This will be our new standby for Thai delivery nights. read more

Solid cheap thai and japenese food here! So glad my cousin took me: I had the beef basil fried rice (which was a WHOPPING portion), cousin had drunken noodles, and her bf had the wings (cheap and delicious). The prices are so low in comparison to NOVA but the portions were humongous! And 2$ thai iced tea, unbeatable. They also have laotian food which I was too nervous to try. And really cheap appetizers. Next time I visit her this would be a great winter takeout place! read more

Ordered the chicken wings crispy spring rolls and pineapple fried rice. Threw away crispy spring rolls they had a weird after taste. Threw away 12 dollar pineapple fried rice just didn't taste good at all. Ate the 6 chicken wings waste of 35 dollars. Didn't mind that I got two cokes instead of the two pepsis I ordered just wish the food had been good. read more
