    Panang Curry
    Tiffany N.

    Totally wasn't expecting a stellar Thai smack dab in the middle of downtown Carmel, but what do you know, it exists! we did family style when we were here to get the most variety from the menu, and everything was absolutely wonderful! We started with the fried tofu and crab Rangoon, then got chicken pad, Thai medium spice, and veggie Panang curry, medium spice as well. Everything was solid and flavorful. I wish we would have had more room in our bellies to eat more since we couldn't finish it all! Service was excellent as well, really nice ladies working there.

    Drunken noodles #26 on the menu

    This is the second time I have gone here. First- what a great location - literally on the Monon which is great as they do have a small outside patio. I had the drunken noodles and a Thai iced coffee. Both were excellent. If you have never tried the iced coffee, do yourself a favor and give it a try. It is made with sweetened condensed milk and is delicious. The inside of the restaurant is very nice and a bit upscale. Service was excellent. Others in my party had the basil fried rice and the pad Thai. They both really enjoyed their meals.

    I met a friend for dinner, and we're both kinda high maintenance with our very specific dietary restrictions. In fact, we were going to share an app but couldn't settle on one that met both of our criteria--ha! Now that I mention it, I was here about a year ago with yet another friend who also has some drastic dietary restrictions. The reason it's worth noting is because the staff here readily accommodates our requests with no questions asked. The food comes out quickly, yet it's made fresh to order. For example, I was able to order the coconut soup without cilantro and the red curry with no onions. And even without those ingredients, the food was full of flavor. We've tried others but Pad Thai is our go-to.

    Spicy Basil Fried Rice with Chicken
    Kimberly F.

    This is my favorite Thai place in Indy! I have been going here for years and they are always amazing. The service is great and the waitress always knows our orders. Everything on the menu is delicious! I always get the spicy basil fried rice, but I highly recommend to try the basil fish. The decorations are so cute (see picture attached) and they always have nice music playing. The restaurant is kind of hidden in downtown Carmel, but it's right across Bub's. There's also a free parking garage under the restaurant. I love that the restaurant is in downtown Carmel, because you can talk a walk down the Monon or to Midtown to relax after eating. Definitely try this restaurant, it will be your new favorite Thai place!

    Pad Kee Mao
    Shruti P.

    Impressive ambiance and even better delicious menu. I haven't had such mouth watering Pad Thai in a while. We ordered a veggie Pad Thai (with eggs) and a chicken Pad Kee Mao (beautiful plating for this one). Both were belly-happy good with quite filling portions. Although I had to box 1/3 of the food, which made a great dinner. Can't wait to go back and try more of the menu. PS. It's located in the heart of downtown of Carmel with many street parking options and a public parking lot nearby.

    Crab Rangoon

    Chicken Pad Thai 7.87/10 ~ good pad Thai but definitely have had better. I prefer one with lots of sauce and lots of green onions. For the convince & portion size it's pretty solid. - Basil Fried Rice 7.87/10 ~ pretty good basil rice - Crab Ragoons 8.5/10 ~ waiting for the day I have a bad crab ragoon. Bet I could get like 25 - Red Curry 7/10 ~ got it mild and it is destroying my mouth. Flavor is good, wish the veggies were cooked a little longer so they were soft. Can't imagine what medium or hot taste like. - Orange Chicken 2/10 ~ bad. Brought down overall restaurant rating immensely. It was the thickest batter then the chicken on the inside was like minced. So strange. Awful texture.

    I'm a fan of Pad Thai -- the dish and now the restaurant. Ordered take out for dinner and it was ready in about 15 minutes. The lady taking our order was very friendly and helpful, even making jokes that had us laughing. We ordered crab rangoons for an appetizer and I got the chicken pad thai. The crab rangoons were heavenly. Honestly every time I have them, I forget how underrated they are, and these were up there with the best. The chicken pad thai was also delicious, and definitely enough for two meals (which is always a plus). They have 4 spice levels (mild, medium, hot, extra hot). I got the medium but still added a decent amount of sriracha to give it more of a kick, so I would increase the level of spiciness next time. Here's to hoping that Pad Thai sticks around downtown Carmel for many years to come.

    Pad Thai chicken

    I recently moved to Carmel and my first restaurant to visit was the Pad Thai restaurant. We both ordered a pad Thai and pad see ewe with chicken and the amount of food did not disappoint! Service was awesome and fast but we were not there during peak hours. Ambiance was nice but didn't have anything original about it. Overall great I loved the flavor!

    Helen X.

    Interior decor is very cute, table centerpieces, lights, and whole set up in the front. Convenient and central location. Good service, good variety offered on the menu. I loved how the rice came in a heart shape, but the rice itself wasn't that great. The curry was better, the meat was good. There was a leak in the ceiling but they did try to contain it. Probably won't visit again but wasn't bad for a one time visit.

    Red Curry
    Libby C.

    Best lunch spot in Carmel! The service is always great and the food never disappoints. The Red Curry and Yellow Curry are a must-try

    This is a gem of a restaurant in the heart of Carmel! So many people came in to get takeout while we were dining in. We love the pad Thai and the red curry so much flavor and spice!

    The photos look like this is a nice sit-down restaurant. Can people order take-out here?

    Hello. Yes - tons of people do carry out. In fact, I would bet that most of their business is carry out. By the way, their fried rice is the best I've ever had.

The spring roll is crispy with a cabbage filling and a dipping sauce. The salad was just ok (maybe bagged). I had the Pad Kee Mao with shrimp. There is a small up charge for shrimp, but the shrimp were plump and flavorful. Their handmade sauce is light and delightful, not too sweet. I had the medium heat, which was the perfect amount of spice for me. All the vegetables were super fresh (not frozen) and there were a lot of veggies. I loved my entree and would highly recommend. My husband had the Chicken Pad Thai, which is his go-to entree. He devoured his Pad Thai and said it was good. Our server, Matt was friendly and attentive. Food came out quickly, water filled and plates cleared. Different people handle the food and money, which is how it should be. The dining room is upscale with a subtle Thai ambiance. The small bar is inviting and the booth seating is comfortable. Soft rock plays overhead. This is a perfect spot for date night. The dining room is immaculate (just as I like). The restrooms are spotless. There is free parking in front, but it can get tight during peak hours.

The interior has a very calm, zen-like vibe, simple, cute, and relaxing. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive throughout the meal. They kept refilling my water so often that I probably drank my entire daily water intake during dinner... not complaining though! Honestly, one of the best service experiences I've had in a while. We started with the shrimp tom yum soup and papaya salad. Both were fresh, flavorful, and a great way to kick off the meal. With a recommendation from the owner, we ordered the shrimp pad thai and pork basil for our main dishes. Great choice, both dishes were delicious and full of flavor. One small detail I really appreciated was the dinnerware. The plates and dishes were beautiful and clearly not the cheap kind you sometimes see. It added a nice touch to the whole dining experience. Great food, excellent service, and as a bonus, the bathroom was clean (which always scores extra points in my book). Free parking is also available. Definitely a spot I'll come back to the next time a Thai food craving hits.

But for however long we had to wait for everything (menus, drinks, to order, our food, the checks), the food made up for it! When I visit a new-to-me Thai restaurant, I usually get the pad Thai or convince someone I'm dining with to get the pad Thai so I can try it. Pad Thai is my litmus test! The pad Thai here at Chiang Mai Thai Noodle was excellent. Perhaps some of the best pad Thai I've eaten in Indy. It wasn't too sweet, which was nice. Sometimes, pad Thai can get a little cloying, but this one was perfectly balanced. I got it with shrimp, which were great and perfectly cooked. Like I mentioned, I visited with a big group. We all got something different, and I also got to try the Crispy Spring Roll. They ain't kidding -- this is one crispy spring roll. The outside shatters with every bite. I think when I come back, I'm definitely getting my own order of these. Other people at my table got things like curry, tom kha soup and crispy basil duck, and every person loved their dishes. The portion sizes are also huge! I feel like you can't go wrong with anything on the menu, here. One thing to note: Their spice level goes from 1 to 6, with 6 being the hottest. A couple of us wanted mild and chose a 2, and it was way too spicy! So if you truly want a mild dish, just go with a 1.
