Another Thai place in Olympia so I was hoping for some awesome pad Thai, my go-to gauge of Thai places because I make it and know it well. There chicken pad Thai was ok. Not bring me back for more good or spit it out bad, just okay. They did not add any fried tofu, preserved radish or sliced shallots and the green onions seemed to have bee cooked from the beginning as opposed to the end to give them a crunch, these were soggy. I also added some fresh chopped cilantro to give it some fresh flavor. I was $14.23 after taxes with maybe $2 worth of ingredients so we pay for the convenience but next time I'll just plan and make at home but I wanted to see how this new place was. It's inside decoration is clean and nice so that's nice. read more

The food at Nou is so good but unfortunately I'm going to pause my business here until they fix the system they use to generate or communicate wait estimates for takeout orders. Totally understand that business is unpredictable during COVID, but tonight's order was the second time that I've been left waiting significantly longer than I was told for a takeout order with no heads up. (Tonight the order system originally estimated 30 minutes wait, confirmation text then said 45; we waited another 20-25 minutes for our order after that.) To be fair, the staff are nice and last time offered my husband a free drink while he waited for our food. And if they fix that one issue I'm back in a flash because their food is high quality with really great flavors. read more

Absolutely immaculate! The food was top notch! It was absolutely a joy to walk in to see a cute, shiny TUK TUK (Thai taxi) in the entry! The lady who helped me was kind and greeted me brightly upon entering! The veggie egg rolls were so good and crunchy and the yummy sauce definitely tasted like it was made in-house! I also had the pad se ewe without meat and it was delightful! Not oily or overloaded with bell peppers! Real veggies !! Also I love that they use recyclable or reusable to-go boxes. No wax paper or styrofoam !! The best part though, is they had mango and sweet rice!! I have been asking around all summer for my favorite treat and today I got it!! Thank you Nou Thai Street Food!! I'll be back for sure!! read more

My new favorite Thai food spot! This fantastic new restaurant opened up in the location that was formerly occupied by El Guanaco. They have a smaller menu than other Thai restaurants but they prepare each dish perfectly. I tried the coconut green curry, pad see ew, and the fried rice and all were amazing! I also had some of the pot stickers and was pleased to find that it appears to be homemade and the outer layer was more like a soft pie crust than pasta. Very good! My one criticism would be that the spice level was very weak. The food tasted awesome and had lots of red pepper throughout but I ordered a 5 spice level and it was not very hot. The restaurant itself was very clean and the woman who helped me was extremely helpful and kind. They are taking strict COVID precautions with all of the employees wearing face masks and with their debit card reader positioned six feet from the cash register. If you're in the mood for some fresh and authentic Thai food, try this great new restaurant! read more

Nou Thai Restaurant - The menu - Thai Near Me - Olympia, Washington

After unsuccessfully being able to order dinner from 2 other locations (as they had closed early) I decided to give this new Thai restaurant a try. Man, am I glad that my first options didn't work out as my food was delicious! Ordered Pad Ke Mow with chicken and asked for a spicy heat. Good portion size. Could have easily had leftovers if I hadn't been so hungry and eaten the whole thing. You can tell the veggies were fresh, there was several throughout the dish so each bite had a little of everything and they didn't over cook them. They still had a nice crunch to them, which I prefer. I agree with another review that I wish the spice level had been a bit more (as I like my food quite spicy) but there definitely was a little heat to the dish. Looking forward to trying more dishes and being able to dine in once able to as it's very nice looking on the inside. read more

this place is the best thai resto in our area! i ordered the fried rice, tom yum, pad thai, and the sweet mango sticky rice! everything was delicious, especially the mango sticky rice! initially went to visit because of kio's tiktok and i ended up loving this place. the interior was clean, modern, and fresh too :)! will definitely be recommending this place and visiting more often :) read more

Best Thai food I've had in Olympia! Very clean tasting and fresh. We ordered two beef pad thai 3&4 stars level spicy . Excellent customer service also (pickup order). We will back ! read more

The food was tasty, but the portions were very small and sides were overpriced-Ike $3.99 for a bottle of water or side of rice. There was also a bit lacking on the service side. We had missing items and wrong ingredients so half of our party ate while the other half waited for food to be remade. read more

Very yummy new restaurant in downtown. The food was fresh and very tasty. Unfortunately for me they ran out of mango so no sticky rice and mango for me this time. Their spice levels are spot on, the curry is creamy, and the pot stickers are hand made. And the interior of the restaurant is really cute. Give this spot a try! read more

My favorite Thai in town ! I highly recommend! Great food and service ! Coconut Green Curry is my jam ! Give it a try

We have been looking for great Thai food since moving to Olympia. This is it! Well seasoned, fresh, and light. Pad Thai, Rama garden, and ka prow were each fantastic. read more

These guys said they close at 8:30. We got there at 8:05. The gal said they stopped seating at 8:00. Really? Guess you don't want any business. Mission accomplished; we'll never be back. read more

The ka prow with tofu #3 spicy is incredible. One of the best Thai meals that I've had in years, so I order it at least once a week. I've tried other things on their menu and they are good, but nothing beats the ka prow. Amazing flavor. The veggies are always fresh and delicious. read more

Ordered the chicken pad thai and pad se-ew . Both were delicious and the portions were perfect. It was a little pricey for thai food but worth it . read more

Great thai food! The massaman curry was quite good. And really enjoyed the noodles. The dumplings were fried, though. Wish they had an option for steamed. read more

Really delicious. It's really easy to order online and pick up. The restaurant is spotless and staff are wearing masks. I hope this place survives, as it's by far the best Thai food we've had in Olympia since we moved here 2.5 years ago. read more

Ordered takeout. Noodle dishes and fried rice was pretty good. Only thing was I wished there was more stuff in the dishes. It felt there was mainly noodles. I love spicy and asked for a 5 out of 5 but it tastes more like a 3 out of 5. Other than that the tastes was good. read more

Yum! I've tried many times to find them open, and I'm glad I stuck with it. The quality and flavor of the food is really good, and while the menu items are familiar they put their own quality spin on it. I plan to keep coming back to work through the menu. Delicious and friendly. read more

Food is alright. Honestly I would say below the average of all the Thai I had all around the states. Probably not bad in the area, but really just plain, edible food. See u noodles is ok, pad thai too salty and tangy. Fried dumplings are plain as well. read more

I am quite surprised to see so many overwhelmingly positive reviews. So I will start with the positive. Super friendly and helpful staff. Outstanding remodel. Peanut sauce was probably the best I've had other then Basil Leaf. Having said that it $3.95 for a side of the sauce. Entrees all 12.99, more if you want something other then chicken or tofu. So I would say a bit overpriced. We ordered phad Thai and phad see ew. They were just ok. No layers of flavor mentioned in other reviews and very salty. I will give them another try because everyone deserves a second chance. And again, very friendly and helpful staff. read more

This was not $16 worth of food:( maybe 1/3 a pkg of fresh noodles, less than 2 oz chicken, less than an ounce of veg... I know cause I weighed when I got home. The sauce tasted like sweet ketchup, no distinct or nuanced Thai flavor... but worst of all.... NO wok fire, searing, flavor or texture. Just a disappointing half tray of soggy noodles. I hope I just missed a good night here but tonight was not it read more

Great food - made me very happy to find his restaurant. It passed our pad see ew test which was excellent. I have found my source of comfort food in Olympia. I will be eating here many times again. read more

We decided to try this place after finding our first choice, nom nom, closed. I guess it's "nou?" We had never heard if it before today.. We ordered takeout of pad thai with tofu, what I think was pad kee mao (hubby says they were called spicy noodles?) With chicken, and green curry with shrimp. We asked for 3 stars out of 5. The green curry was a perfect 3 stars, was quite delicious and the shrimp were amazingly not overcooked like most of our takeout shrimp has been during covid by the time we get it home. That takes special talent. The food was still nice and hot, and the proteins were all well cooked, none overcooked. The pad thai had an interesting smoky flavor about it, but not many bean sprouts, which I like for the crunch (but not a deal breaker). And I like their practice of mixing a few red rice grains into their white rice (I don't know if brown rice is an option because hubby won't eat it, the philistine). The only disappointment was the two noodle dishes were definitely not 3 stars, maybe not even 2 stars. I give them a solid rating of good with room for improvement. I would definitely try them again and I will update my review after more visits. read more

The food was phenomenal, not overly expensive for Thai. Large portion sizes, many protein options, vegetarian and vegan options available. Completely recommend read more

Super clean/modern inside, with a nice looking dinning area. Food is super legit!! I travel to Asia for work frequently and this is as good as it gets in the Olympia area. And they have a tuk-tuk!!! read more

Best Thai food in the Olympia,Tumwater, Lacey area! Food was amazing and a very cool and chill place to eat with your friends!!!

Pad Ki Mao and curry are excellent. Bright and clean, it has a low-key cheerful vibe that is very unfamiliar in Olympia restaurants--in the best way possible. It's easy enough to get parking on the street for quick pick-ups too. This place shines on it's own and deserves a regular spot in my rotation of local eats. read more

INCREDIBLY GOOD FOOD!!! We got the massaman curry, ka-prow, pad kee mow and mango sticky rice and everything was amazing. Absolutely some of the best Thai food any of us have had, and the quality didn't suffer with take out! We will be back sooner than I'd like to admit. read more

Great staff, super delicious fresh food. Can't pick a favorite dish cause they have all been awesome!

If I could give more than 5 stars I would! This place is absolutely amazing! Clean, open space! (Abnormal for downtown Oly) the food was amazing!!! Best pad Thai I've had! Highly recommend read more

The place is beautiful and has a very simple exterior design, and on the inside the interior is very modern and even slightly rustic which helps the atmosphere and to enjoy what you are eating. The menu is perfect, with just the right amount of choices and a variety of dishes. Not only is the food fantastic, the owner, Mrs. Cyr, is wonderful and such a beautiful lady who brightens up the place in herself. read more

Poor food at a high price. Great disappointment. Customer service was as bad as the food.

excellent food and very decent prices! i have enjoyed getting takeout from here, and i'm looking forward to dining in when they open for indoor seating. read more

Best Thai food in the city!!! Menu is relatively small but each dish is prepared perfectly and the portions are generous! We look forward to dining inside someday soon, but we are grateful that the owner has continued excellent take out service for now! Delicious first rate Thai meals!!! we will continue to patronize and recommend to friends! read more

Tum Yum soup with coconut milk is outstanding. Serving sizes are huge, but the flavor is all excellent.

Lovely staff - great interior - clean and fresh and stylish. Delicious food - they're brand new so go give them some quarantine business !!!

I agree with everything Alex K said in his review- delicious, good portions and the inside looks really nice for when they allow dine-in starting in phase 3. The owner was super nice. read more

Food was fine, but nothing exceptional. Ordered Pad Se Ew 4 star spicy, but is was quite bland and lacked spice. Green curry was watery and also very mild despite ordering it 3 star spicy. Green curry also contained limited number and variety of vegetables. The inside of restaurant looks nice but the food quality is not on par with other similarly priced Thai restaurants in downtown Olympia. read more

I went today with my granddaughter and we ordered take-out and sat at one of the little tables outside. I had tofu fried rice and ordered it as hot as they make it - it was not very spicy :( it had good flavor and tasted fresh. My granddaughter had tofu pad Thai, also highest heat level but hers was not spicy; had really good flavor, tho. We had a fried tofu appetizer and it was crispy in the outside and tender on the inside. We'll go back but they need to kick up their spice level ! The person who took our order and brought it out to the car was super nice. The wait was only about 10 minutes. read more

The inside is super clean and looks remodeled, customer service was on point, and the food was DELICIOUS!
