Tom Yum Soup

This is absolute disgusting. Don't don't bother ordering from here. Drunken noodles tasted bad and sweet. It should be savory not sweet. As for the soup only had two pieces of shrimp. I spent almost a 100 on this order. Not authentic at all. I can't even get my money back.

"Tempura" shrimp

I was surprised to receive this as shrimp tempura.... It's fried shrimp but it's definitely NOT. Tempura . Very disappointed! I also order drunken noodles and Nam Sod which were respectable.

Walking in, this is a small cool spot with great ambiance. There was no one else inside when we got there, but within 10 minutes of being there I saw about 4 different people come in for pick up orders. That gave me the feeling this place was going to be good. They had a nice selection of beers on tap, I went with Headway by Counterweight. The salad with the peanut sauce was great. I'm normally not a fan of the Thai peanut sauce but this had s little extra sweetness to it snd I really enjoyed it. For my meal I got the duck tamarind with brown rice. I had never had duck before and was nervous but wanted to try something new. It was amazing! Even in the Thai sweet chili sauce the duck was still super crispy and cooked to perfection. Our waiter was also very friendly and made it a very enjoyable experience. I'll be back here next time I visit Bristol!!

Today is November 25th 2020 and for those who aren't aware this restaurant is pick up/to go orders only. Currently there is no inside dining here. It's a shame because this is such a beautifully decorated restaurant to enjoy. The food though is phenomenal though. Absolutely delicious. Rest of the review to come soon.

Drunken Noodle with duck
Sheila R.

Thai Avenue is a fantastic restaurant! It is nicely decorated, comfortable, and has excellent food and moderate prices. Combine that with friendly service and all of my criteria for dining out are met!! My husband and I enjoyed curry puffs, drunken noodles with duck, and pad Thai with duck. It was all fresh, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. No need to add any salt, sriracha, etc. The duck was nicely crisped on the outside and tender on the inside. Both portions of noodles were large as well. Thai Avenue has a huge menu. Next time I will try the wonton pad Thai and the drunken friend rice. Can't wait to return!!

Authentic food. I was amazed to find a restaurant that didn't Americanize thier food. It eas super delicious restaurant at Bristol City Satti was very delicious 5/5 juicy and tender Duck with fried noodles was good 4/5 i just felt it needed more spices. Salad was the best salad i ate with punts sauce. 5/5 The Tom Kha Soup is my favorite at all Thai restaurants, this one was the best and perfectly made. 5/5 Definitely, i am coming here again!

Eclectic Southeast Asian decor make Thai Avenue homey and modern.

Thai Avenue Kitchen occupies an unassuming spot along the main road, but the interior of this little surprise is unique and homey with a perfect little bar in front. The low-lit dining areas are filled with eccentric chairs and a mix of mass produced art with more sentimental pieces inspired by the owners. The quiet atmosphere is a perfect spot to enjoy an intimate dinner, just as I was able to do with my wife on a cozy Monday night. Once you get past the great vibe, you are then able to find the true jewel of this humble spot, the food. We started with an excellent appetizer of the Bags of Gold. Think fried chicken but instead of greasy skin the crunch comes from the lightly fried wonton wrapping a delicious mix of chicken inside. I enjoyed an excellent Tom Kha soup prior to my meal. The mix of lime and lemongrass flavors made it a wonderful precursor for my meal. The menu is complete with all of your favorite Thai dishes (i.e. curries, noodles, fried rice) but have an extensive selection of house specialties. This being our first visit we went for favorite staples of fried rice and curry. I had a Massaman curry with carrots and potatoes (not spicy even though the menu warned it was). The taste of the currey was sweet and aromatic; the accompanying pork and vegetables were wonderful as well. My wife had the Crab Fried Rice. It was on-par with the best I have ever tasted. The crab was a sweet undertone to the spices and the Chinese sausage. In summary, Thai Avenue Kitchen is a great venue with lots of character but the best part of this local spot is the menu. We look forward to coming back and trying out the bar and more dishes.

Halfway through our meal, I knew we were having a five star experience on so many levels. The service was stellar -the young lady who filled our water glasses and took our order was wonderful, and the kitchen runner who delivered our food made friendly, smiling, and efficient hustle seem effortless. The décor is gorgeous-lots of artwork and paintings and designs everywhere you look. Just as gorgeous as the décor is the food presentation. Just look at how beautiful the Thai Avenue Sampler is https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/thai-avenue-kitchen-and-bar-bristol?select=bo2-EkN-hp1mibnm-f0Gmg For $10.95, we had a mind blowing order of two chicken satay skewers, two spring rolls, four bags of gold (Deep fried and marinated grounded chicken stuffed in wonton wrap), and three shumai. It was served with three different sauces, the best of which was clearly the peanut sauce paired with the chicken satay. It had a deep peanut flavor and was pretty much perfect. The dish was a beauty to look at and was plain old delicious. But wait there's more, check out our orders of Chicken Pad Thai https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/thai-avenue-kitchen-and-bar-bristol?select=7fACE5Y2rCQ3Py6k-ASPuw and Spicy Udon Noodles with Seafood https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/thai-avenue-kitchen-and-bar-bristol?select=pd2-Eglhp_2gToBYn3cu_w They were drop dead gorgeous to look at and delicious! My Udon was loaded with seafood - big scallops, big shrimp, big pieces of squid, and lots of mussels. The quality of the seafood was outstanding. The shrimps and scallops were plump and perfectly cooked, the squid was tender and not rubbery, and my oh my were the mussels PERFECT! They were big and tender and perfect in every way. The Udon noodles were in a spicy sauce that was wonderful, and mixed among the seafood were a garden of perfectly cooked vegetables- onions, red and green peppers, scallions, and basil Our dinner ran under $40 and we took home plenty of the Udon and Pad Thai. I am pretty stingy with 5 star reviews, but this one was an easy call. Try it and see. Oh and by the way, it gets even better because you get 15% off with your Yelp check-in!

Thai ave Sampler
Lillian Faye B.

Thai Ave. Is the newest of the few Thai restaurants in town. I have tried them once for sit down lunch, but usually get takeout. Decor is modern and clean. My go to is the Thai Ave. Sampler, I love the variety and Veggie green curry, just right on mild heat...both are delicious! I have tried Pad Thai to go, and drunken noodles and both were a sticky mess of clumped up noodles upon arriving... won't do that again! For sit down, they are fine. They usually seem flustered when picking up and have mixed up my order once, mixed up my name once, but overall I enjoy this thai place over the others near by.

I have been eating Thai food for a very long time. And I know the taste of the food and it's texture. In this restaurant I ordered Tomyum soup and this is what they gave me which taste nothing like tomyum. Disgusting taste!!! And when I mentioned this to the server she was like ya!! No clue what I was talking about!!!

Beautiful decor and lovely atmosphere

Happy to learn about this location since we have gone to Simsbury a few times. Lots of good things…read moreto say and a few improvements needed. Good Stuff: TV placement and NFL coverage on Sunday - everyone could see everything ! NFL/Happy hour menu was great Wasn't too loud Needs Improvement: Signage from the road on where to park to not drive around So cold in there had to wear my jacket the entire time Understaffed - the server was efficient but needed assistance to be excellent - she was busing her own tables too Will definitely be back and try different things-love supporting the locally owned restaurants

Such a disappointment, the other locations are much better. I have tried food here 3x and now…read moreleaving this. Tonight I ordered food through toast, showed up and mess told it wasn't ready, I waited for it which is fine. I get the food go go home, (literally 2 blocks) food is ice cold and wrong. I called and asked for a refund cause I just was done and didn't want to deal with it. The manager literally told me they couldn't refund cause I ordered through toast. I own a restaurant and you can 100% refund on toast, it's not hard. Whatever, they wanted to remake, I didn't want to go back out, they sent it via delivery service. Food was still cold. The incompetence at this location is mind boggling. If you want to try them go to the Unionville or Simsbury location. Will absolutely not be back. My previous visits have encountered wrong food, was just hoping they would figure it out

I made it back for trivia night! We had an AWESOME time!…read more The two bartenders were so attentive and friendly for the entirety of the night, we were never in need of anything. The mule is definitely my favorite drink here, it's been made perfectly each time I had it. We had a big group, so we ordered a variety of bar bites and I'm thoroughly impressed with the quality of all the food. Especially the garlic bread, wow!!! It was piping hot, fresh and fluffy and just perfect. The host for trivia did a fantastic job and created a super fun event for us. The questions were general-knowledge enough that mostly anyone could have participated. Somehow our team won and the prizes were so fun!! More people need to know about this place!!

Went to Spelunkers back on March 22 to check out some live music that they had that night. Good…read morelive music in Southington is hard to come by in the area. I used to go down the street, but the music selection there changed. For those of you frequent to Southington, Spelunkers took over the old Dial 9 speakeasy location. It's a competitive food area and I didn't know what to expect. I'm happy to say that for being marketed as strictly a dive bar, Spelunkers hit all the marks and some. It also was surprisingly large inside compared to what it looked like from the outside (Which was great because some of the other bars nearby are cramped). Their burgers were good and my friends felt the same way about the food that they ordered as wll. They have ample seating (and a variety of it) as well as a pool table and some arcade games to do while listening to music. Prices for drinks were also fair. The interaction that I had with staff, although brief was very friendly. The band they had that night was excellent. Glad I came to see them. They played an eclectic mix of both genres and decades. They were energetic, their song choice were great and they were refreshing to see compared to the typical Southington fare. If they come back to Spelunkers, I'll free my schedule up to come and see. Been watching the socials . Happy to have a fun bar experience again around here and look forward to my next trip.
