    Chefs Special (Beef W/ Sticky Rice)
    Andy D.

    Amazing Thai Food! I've been here a good amount of times, and the food is consistently delicious! I almost always get the "Beef Pad See Ew," Medium Spicy, and it comes out great every time. The restaurant is owned and ran by a Thai Family. The quality of service and delicious food are truly a blessing for the Fort Polk area. The restaurant has a casual and peaceful vibe. Don't forget to add Thai Tea to your order, it's amazing as well!

    Tom Kha soup (half serving)

    This has become my sons favorite restaurant. When my husband was stationed at Polk, we would go to Thad a petch and loved it so much! We introduced it to our son later and now it's his favorite place. My husband always gets the Pad Thai. We have tried Pad Thai at many many other restaurants and this one is our favorite. The food is seasoned based on spice level you like. I love mine Hot and they do such a good job! Today I tried the Tom Yum soup and the red curry. Both were amazing but the Tom Yum soup was probably my favorite thing I've had there. It was mad with flavorful ingredients unlike anything I've ever had. The red curry was spicy and had lots of fresh yummy vegetables. We will of course be back but today really stood out because I decided to try something new.

    Thai Fried Rice with Shrimp

    I ordered the Thai Fried rice and added shrimp. It was good. And the portion was very good. I couldn't eat it all and got to take some to go for later. The service was great and the food came out hot and fast. The inside was nice and clean. If you're looking for Thai in the area, I recommend

    Vegetarian eggrolls and curry puffs. Eggrolls were bland but curry puffs were so good. Plenty of vegetarian options on the menu

    If you are looking for good authentic Thai food look no further. I drive by this place daily on my way to work but never stopped by because it looks a little beat up from the outside but after reading all the positive reviews on Yelp and hearing all the raves about this place from local people around town I knew I had to check this place out and I'm so glad I did. This is a family run husband and wife team and their kids also help out as well. It's outdated on the inside but the food is very good and the owners are friendly. My fiancé and I ordered the vegetarian curry puffs and the vegetarian eggrolls as apps. Eggrolls were meh, not impressive a little bland but the curry puffs were flavorful and had a nice kick to it. For entrees he ordered the seafood pad Thai and I had the yellow curry with tofu. We both enjoyed our meals. Both entrees were flavorful with a good kick and portion sizes were big. There are not many places with vegetarian options in leesville and tha da petch has plenty of them. There's something here for everyone whether you're a meat lover, seafood lover, vegetarian. Definitely will be coming back soon.

    My uncle and I were in town, we have family here, and wanted to check this spot out. Leesville doesn't have a ton of restaurant options and the ones they do have are ehhh. I've only really eaten at Starlite Grill and I love that place; but we wanted to venture out this visit. This place is in the strip as a motel. When you walk in; it's like any other family owned Asian restaurant. The man who waited on us I assume owns the place. He was very friendly and attentive. This place has a huge party room in the back where the bathrooms are. I hope they get busy for events. The menu is very large, and being the only Thai restaurant in the area I like that they have lots to offer. The beef jerky was good, tad salty than I normally like it, but still good. The seafood salad I ordered was okay. Huge size, decent amount of seafood, but the sauce wasn't giving me normal Thai vibes when it came to flavor. It was giving me more like Mexican shrimp cocktail sauce vibes. Very tomato/ketchup taste than the normal Thai flavors I'm used to. I ordered the number 48. PAD PED TA-LAY, it's a seafood combination stir fry. It was delicious! I got the salad and this dish Thai hot and well this one was the only one that delivered the heat. The flavors were amazing and it just made my belly happy! We also ordered the Thai Teas which were good, but a tad over sugared if that's possible. I definitely will keep this on my list when I come back to Leesville.

    I had pad see ew, sticky rice, and Thai iced coffee. Everything was delicious. I'll Be going back.

    Food is decent. One of the only Thai options in Leesville. Inside area is cluttered, wouldn't recommend dining in. Great for take out.

    I really want to give this place 5 stars--mainly because it's the only pho restaurant for miles…read morearound (seriously, nothing else from an hour south to an hour north of Leesville!). But I just can't quite get there yet. First off, I wish they'd update their menu. It still lists sushi, but they haven't served it for years--which can definitely be confusing for new customers. Service is usually pretty solid, and the staff are friendly and attentive. Now, let's talk prices. This is a small, low-income military town, and the prices feel a little high for the area. Maybe it's due to the cost of getting ingredients out here, but even in bigger cities, pho doesn't usually cost this much--unless we're talking premium cuts of meat. That said, the pho itself is decent. It's not life-changing, but when that craving hits, it definitely satisfies--especially with the right mix of hoisin, sriracha, and lime. The real standout for me, though, was the takoyaki--surprisingly impressive and probably the best item I've tried here. All in all, it's a solid spot to get your pho fix when you're in the area. A few updates and tweaks, and this could easily be a five-star spot.

    Now I know why this place is called Pho Ever. The food took PHO EVER to come out. My fiancé and I…read morecame here on a Thursday night and literally there was one worker there. I have to give her props. She was the busboy, the waiter, the one taking call in orders and takeout and the only one working the cash register. We both ordered the special pho and it took at least 45 minutes for the food to come out even though there was only about 5 other people in the restaurant. Pho was ok. I honestly didn't have high expectations coming in considering the area we're living in. I might do takeout here for in the future if I ever need my pho fix since it's the only pho place in town but probably never dining in again.

    Stopped in for takeout while craving Thai and ordered the Pad Kee Mao, papaya salad, and egg rolls…read more While waiting at the bar, the bartender mentioned that the Pad Kee Mao is one of their signature dishes and is made with thin pho noodles instead of the traditional wide noodles, which I was excited to try. The takeout presentation was well done, and everything held up nicely by the time I got back to my hotel (just a short drive away). The Pad Kee Mao had good flavor and didn't disappoint, though it was a bit drier than I prefer. The papaya salad and egg rolls were both fresh and enjoyable. Service was friendly, and the dining area appeared clean and inviting. I'd return and would simply request extra sauce next time. Looking forward to trying more from their menu.

Both the duck curry and green curry had lots of tender meat and the sauce was rich and spicy. The fried rice portion size was huge and it was delicious, with a lovely hint of smokiness from being cooked at high heat. The garden roll (think spring roll) was full of crisp veggies and the peanut sauce was outstanding. Our server didn't seem very happy, but she was efficient. The decor was nice but some of the furnishings were a bit worn. We would definitely return if in the area.
