    Pad Thai
    Lauren S.

    Instant new fav spot in RVA. The interior is cozy and eclectic, super fun vibes, and the bartenders and staff are awesome. The cocktail list is one of the absolute best I've seen in a WHILE. Love that everything on it has a bit of tropical vibe, especially their mule. Their food (we got pad Thai and crab fried rice) was fantastic! Cannot wait to go back here every chance possible.

    This place has such great food, great vibes, and wonderful staff. If they had a better happy hour, I'd be here all the time! Some of the best thai food in the area, but a little on the pricier side. Will definitely be back though!

    Thai Boat is an amazing new place that opened up in the Fan. I loved all they had to offer! The service was amazing, the portions were large, and the prices are fair. I loved the presentation of each dish, they put a lot of care into it. Highlights of my visit were: - Pad Kee Mao with Tofu (Drunken Noodles) -Rice was in a cute cat shape! -my dish came in a cute boat With its proximity to bars and Carytown, this would make a great date night spot.

    Pad See-Eaw (so cute in the boat dish)

    Really great Thai spot. Husband and I got the Moo Ping as an appetizer and entrees were Pad See Eaw and Thai Basil. All were amazing. If you like spicy, try their dry chili seasoning but use sparingly. Staff was super friendly and food was good in timely manner and definitely fresh to order. I'd say this Thai restaurant is on par with somewhere like My Noodle Bar. Oh and the two cutest things were shaping the rice into a cat and serving my entree in a boat dish.

    Enjoyed a warm lunch on a cold Saturday afternoon with a friend. We skipped cocktails today opting for Cokes and started with the crab rangoons and pork belly. Those were prob the best rangoons I've had in my life!! For the main I had the red curry and my friend had a soup. Both were delicious and enough to take home for a second meal. Service was attentive, the fella was happy to offer recommendations. The only con was how freezing it was in there. Cold enough where everyone had their winter coats on while eating. The metal seats prob made the situation worse. Regardless would go back to try something different (on a warmer day)

    Green curry and rice

    Very cute, intimate vibe with funky decor. Vibrant bar with a local feel. Large menu and awesome service. My friend ordered the pad Thai which arrived in a wooden boat! My green curry was really good as well.

    Been really excited for this place to open! Really great unique Thai food, as well as great service and atmosphere. I will definitely be coming back!

    Khaw Klook Kapi

    This place is amazing! The food was delicious and the ambiance was great. We sat outside and the outdoor seating area is so cozy and shaded, perfect for nice weather. The staff were so sweet and attentive. They all came to greet us and gave us complimentary mochi! The food was so so good! We got a dish that our waitress recommended, Khaw Klook Kapi, which is something i've never had before but was so good and flavorful. The rice was even shaped like a cat which was such a cute touch. We also got the wonton skewers as our appetizer and they were DELICIOUS! Super excited to come back again and try a cocktail next time, they have a huge cocktail menu and they all sound great. Would definitely recommend just for the friendly staff alone, and the food is also so great!

    Mister Noodle

    This Thai Restaurant opened in October of 2025 I recently discovered it and I love Thai food so this was an easy pick for me. Walking into this restaurant you are greeted with a wonderful fun decor and extremely friendly staff. The menu is full of great choices from fresh appetizers, soups, noodle dishes so many choices. I ordered the kanoom-Jeep and the Nam Tok Neua both of these were absolutely delicious so many fresh flavors perfectly cooked. Moving on to entrees I ordered the Mister Noodle and the Larb Gai. These were delicious and plenty of food with very good portions. This place is amazing. Highly recommended and I will return very soon. So happy to have this gem so close to my house.

We live in walking distance so tend to walk over. There is free street parking nearby if you do drive. It's also a great takeout spot. Their pad Thai is pretty good, but I like their pad see ew the best for noodles. When we've gone, we've eaten inside, but it seems like they have a beautiful patio in the back. The service can feel a little slow if you're in a rush. If you're doing takeout you go upstairs to grab your order. If you want to dine in, you go down to the left. On a recent trip, I tried their salmon curry and it was incredible. I highly recommend ordering this wholesome and delicious dish. This is a wonderful spot for Thai food.

Parking is available on the side, or you can usually find street parking nearby. I really liked the industrial atmosphere, especially the swings, but we ended up sitting closer to the bar area. Our server was super nice, and the service was quick throughout the meal. FOOD REVIEW Sabai Platter - 3/5 Not bad for shareable during happy hour, but some of the items were just okay. Pad Thai - 4/5 The flavors and spice level were balanced really well. Pla Muk Tod (Calamari) - 4/5 Good overall, but I wasn't a big fan of the dipping sauce. Pik Gai Tod (Wings) - 4/5 Flavorful and really good. Moo Sam Chan (Fried Pork Belly) - 4/5 Tasty and flavorful, though a little over-sauced for my preference. DRINK REVIEW Thai Tea - 5/5 Refreshing and enjoyable. Thai Mojito - 5/5 Really good and refreshing as well. Overall, good food, great drinks, and friendly service.

I noticed a discrepancy between the amount on my receipt and what was actually charged to my card. It may have only been a small difference, but that's not acceptable under any circumstance. A dollar here or there adds up, and it raises real concerns when it appears to be a pattern. I had intentionally left a cash tip to ensure it went directly to my server, not through the business. Fortunately, I kept my receipt after hearing about similar situations happening before. When my statement came in, the charge didn't match. I called the restaurant to resolve the issue, and the floor manager said someone from management or accounting would follow up. Over a week later, I never received a call. I ended up disputing the charge with my bank. What should have been a nice Friday night dinner ended on a frustrating note. Unfortunately, that's what made the experience memorable--and not in a good way.

Sometimes it gives good advice on all kinds of matters: Tax law, relationships, organic farming, and aerospace engineering. One time it shared a great recipe for homemade apple pie. Don't be afraid to tell it your deepest darkest secrets. If the haunted ATM/robot friend is not reason enough to stop by, it should be noted that the food is excellent. Chicken Bangcock never disappoints and the portion size for all their entrees is a value. Perhaps the finest item on the menu is the Chicken Pad Se Ew with flat noodles and Chinese broccoli. The first time I had it, Unicorns danced around my mouth and giggled. The dude behind the bar is a bad a$$ and makes all kind of dope drinks. I would like it if he wore a velvet cape and cowboy hat while he waits on customers. In fact, the management should consider mandatory cowboy hats for all staff members working dinner service. Ask the barkeep to pour you a triple shot of "tortilla" with a lime wedge and your life will be changed forever- all your wishes will come true and you will no doubt end up in a drunken stupor talking to the broken ATM machine that perpetually sits next to the bar.

My tech lead said this is her go-to Thai restaurant whenever she's in the area, and I was curious to try. The interior has no frills, which is fine with me. As long as the food is good, I don't really care. PAD SEE EW - 16.99 +chicken, wide noodles, and Chinese broccoli This is my go-to basic Thai order if I don't know what else to get. The pad see ew had a good "wok hay" flavor and the sauce was perfectly savory with a bit of sweetness. The wide noodles could have been a bit more chewy (felt like they were a bit overcooked). The entree lacked egg, Chinese, broccoli, and chicken as it was mostly noodles. I felt a bit ripped off. The portion sizes were large so most of us had leftovers for another meal. Personally, I would rather have more toppings other than carbs with a smaller portion. Overall, 3.5/5.
