My last review was 5 years ago. Time for an update. Guess what... still 5 stars! They are still going strong! The staff is always so kind! They remember our family when we walk in and even remember our orders. We are regulars that much. Their peanut dressing with the salad is so good. To the point where the bowl may or may not be licked clean... hehe. I always get their fried rice. I don't know what it is, but it is so good. My husband enjoys a few of their soups. My son raves about his green curry, and often eats leftovers from anyone else's plates. I enjoy their crab rangoons. They have a nice crispy shell with a flavorful creamy center. The sauce paired with it compliments it well. Water cups are always filled. Their bathroom is always clean. Did you know they have a room available for big events like maybe a going away ceremony, retirement, birthday ect. read more

Food was marginal. The service was good and the ambience was very nice. I've eaten at dozens of Thai restaurants. Unfortunately this is in the lower percentage read more

It has been a minute since I've put together an updated review for this place. Sophia and I discovered this restaurant through a friend of ours 4 years ago. So how would this visit go? When we met up with friends on a Thursday night, foot traffic was minimal. The decor was very clean and the vibe was really quiet. You can't ask for a calm evening out. Once we all arrived, it was onto ordering. For my entree, I chose Pad See Eaw, which consists of rice noodles and eggs covered in sweet soy sauce. My protein choice was chicken and I declined broccoli from the dish. It was very good. Well cooked and seasoned just right. One mistake I made was request the spice level as Level 2, which put a bit of too much spice on my pallet. Not the staff's fault, mine. Next time, it'll be at a Level 1. For dessert, I was planning to order Strawberry ice cream, but unfortunately they were out. So I took the chance and picked coconut custard. The last time we were here, Sophia ordered it and liked it so why not try? Thumbs up from yours truly. It was flavorful and not overwhelming. I would definitely choose it again. All in all, a nice night for everyone. You can't go wrong with prompt service and wonderful food. Till next time :) read more

A delightful Thai restaurant with great food and friendly service. The place is extremely organized, clean, and has natural lighting. I opted for the shrimp in a blanket with sweet chili sauce for appetizer, I was hoping a touch of cream cheese inside but still crisp and delicious. I ordered the beef pad thai (level 4 heat) although it was really spicy I could still detect the great flavors, however, i did not see any crushed peanut toppings. Again, this could be a different style of pad thai because all the other essential flavors of a pad thai was still there. Regardless, we enjoyed both beef and shrimp pad thais. Last but not least, the service was super friendly and checked on us to refill drinks and just to see if we needed anything. This is also one of the cleanest restaurant I have been to with great, but not overwhelming, Thai decor. The background Thai music was a nice touch. I absolutely recommend this place to fellow yelpers. read more

We were recommended Thai Erawan by a friend so we had to stop in. We were welcomed and sat right away. They were very lovely and accommodating as we had our baby with us. It was cute and clean inside. We ordered a few Thai teas to start out with and they were huge! One of the better Thai teas we have found around the area. I had Penang with 2 chilis (hot). Comparatively it wasn't as hot as I thought it would be but still had a bit. I will go up to 3 chilis next time. The Penang was nice, a little different than others I had as it wasn't as creamy, but still delicious. We ended with some mango sticky rice that was so delicious! We will be going back for sure! read more

Not the best Thai restaurant I have been too, but not the worst. I was disappointed with the lack of flavor in the dishes I tried. Thai food is my absolute favorite cuisine and have eaten the following dishes at many Thai restaurants over the years and they just fell flat. Not sure if other dishes are better here, but with so many Thai restaurants in this area, I'll try those out before coming here again. Pad Thai-kind of dry and not very flavorful. Thai basil with chicken-not a lot of flavor. Shrimp summer rolls-the dipping sauce was okay, prefer a little bit more of a peanut taste. This was for takeout and they did have the food ready in a timely fashion! read more

My dining partner recommended Thai Erawan Restaurant (TER) for our lunch date and I LOVE Thai food, so I was game! My dining partner was on a time crunch so I kept my usual thorough analysis of the menu to a minimum. (I like to take my time to see all my options when it's my first visit to the restaurant). Pad Thai usually sets the tone for the rest of the menu and I'm always in the mood for noods so I opted for a Shrimp Pad Thai with a Thai Tea. My dining partner ordered her go-to of Drunken Noodles and the Thai Coffee. Wow, Yorktown, you're lucky! I've been to Thailand twice and this place is pretty legit! The texture of the noodles were perfect and the flavor was spot on! Only thing is, I would probably skip the Thai tea next time and opt for the Thai coffee. I felt it was a bit watered down and not enough milk. The service was lovely too. Very attentive and very friendly! TER is definitely one of the better Thai spots I've had so far in Coastal Virginia. When I'm in the area, I'll be sure to stop by again, when I have more time to analyze the menu and try other items! Stay safe, Friends! read more

I've gone here a few times with my friend for lunch and I definitely enjoy the food. It's very tasty. Staff is super nice and remembers their customers well to the point that they remember what I order. I only give it two stars because I've seen a bug (looked like a tiny brown banded roach nymph) sitting and running around my plate, and I've also once had hair mixed in my food as well. Those to me aren't complete dealbreakers, as gross as they might seem. I had no issues eating any of those meals during or afterwards. But I'm sure it's an automatic no for others! read more

This is definitely a fantastic place to eat good food ! The food is so fresh, the portion sizes are good and the service is wonderful and it's very clean. I think you can't go wrong with anything you order! I also like that they don't use MSG read more

Thai Erawan Restaurant - Lunch - Thai Near Me - Yorktown, Virginia

Thai Erawan has been a staple of consistently good Thai food for more than 30 years. Located near the Food Lion at Shady Banks Shopping Center on Hampton Hwy, they moved some years ago just a few yards away to a newer strip mall. The interior is welcoming and the staff has been with the restaurant for all of the years I have been eating here. A military crowd frequents as it is adjacent to Langley Bethel Housing. Over the years I have consistently enjoyed their fried rice (Kao Pot Gai), without the tomatoes it comes with. I have also enjoyed the spring rolls. Neither dish has ever waivered in consistency and flavor. I have enjoyed Drunken Noodle, which I have no idea how it got it's name, and I prefer a thinner noodle but I find it is often served elsewhere as it is here with a wide noodle. At dinner time a dish called Dressing Noodle is available, soup like fare that can be a bit messy. At least, I blame the dish, not my own tendency to slurp! It has a wonderful flavor and like most Thai dishes I have tried, the tastes are delicate and subtle. Take out business is always brisk, and the staff has everything down to a science. When I go to Thai Erawan, as I did today, I know what to expect and it is always good without unexpected changes in taste or quality. Lunch for 4 with 4 drinks and an appetizer of spring rolls today was $60 including tax. We all left satisfied as we expected to. read more

The food was good but the lady was rude to us, and it just so happened that we were the only table with African-American customers. The lady was nice to everyone else but when she came to us she was short and rude. She refused to give my friend a to-go cup, he had to ask three times. She also seemed as if she was trying to rush us out while we were having conversations. I would not recommend coming here. read more

This is one of my favorite thai places. I stopped to get takeout otw home from the gym. We had chicken pad wonsean and chicken pad Thai. Pad wonsean is glass noodles with veges. Our food was ready in 15 min. They are always super nice and the serving was enough to have some for lunch the next day. The Thai tea is excellent and I wish I could drink it everyday. I just can't get enough. No pics this time as I was super hungry. I miss Thai Siam the sister restaurant because it was closer to our house but this is still convenient when we are at the YMCA Victory. I previously took a cooking class years ago at Thai Siam but unfortunately the chef passed away in February this year and they don't have someone to teach the class. Our pad Thai is not nearly as good as here so I'll hold out hope they find someone to have them again in the future. read more

Wow, wow, wow, what a hidden gem. Sure, the appetizers are just fine, but what really shines are the curries. And yes, because they make everything from scratch and it's not premade, there is a huge vegan selection. Any of the curries can be made without fish sauce. My son got yellow curry (potatoes! a great kid curry) with soft tofu. Thank goodness they don't pre-fry the tofu in huge batches- that tastes stale and gross when they do that in restaurants: here it's all chopped up fresh. I got the green curry with tofu, and it was absolutely delicious. Anne our server was so friendly and helpful and she made sure to bring us over all the extra sauces and peppers to go with our meal - the food didn't eat extra seasoning, but it was fun to have and put on the rice. Love that they have three rice options, brown rice, sticky rice, and jasmine rice . Sticky rice is really fun to dip into the leftover curry sauce. Easy recommend...great vegetarian and vegan selections. My picky child ate everything on his plate...win....but come on potatoes and tofu. What's not to love? read more

Thai Erawan Restaurant - Delicious green curry (vegan!) with soft tofu and brown rice - Thai Near Me - Yorktown, Virginia

Has been and will always be my go to for Thai food. Great service and delicious food in a clean environment.

A friend recommended this restaurant, so we called and they told us they will be open till 8:30 in the evening. We left and got there at 7:30 PM. There was no one in the restaurant & the waitress came up and said, "do you want a carry out?" We said, "no we are here for dinner". She said, "you will have to do carry out because you will not have time to eat your dinner before we close at 8:30 pm"I've never gone to a restaurant and had this happen! So, needless to say, we left, It was a trip for nothing and I'll never go back! read more

Best Thai food in Hampton roads. Try the garlic and black pepper with tofu. It's not on the lunch menu so you have to ask for it. This dish will blow your mind. read more

Great Thai food, I love the pad Thai. The service is fast and friendly during lunch rush hours. The people that work at Langley LOVE this place and the people who work there! Ambiance is bright with small touches of Asian inspired art and decor. read more

I was in the neighborhood to hit Wonderful Restaurant, which is just behind Thai Erawan, but they were closed for the holiday. Since this place was just next door, I figured I'd give it a shot. The place was pretty hoppin' when I came in, so I figured it should be something special. I was seated quickly and then checked in on Yelp. Surprise! A free order of spring rolls for check in! But...then I asked the server about it and she said they didn't want to honor that deal any more. They made an exception for me, and gave me a two piece order of the spring rolls instead of what the check in offer indicated (which was a 4 piece order). Eh. No worries I thought. I then ordered chicken pad thai for my entree. Food came out at a reasonable time given how busy they were, and it was pretty tasty going down. The problem came much later....LOTS of gastrointestinal distress for the rest of the day. I haven't had this problem with chicken pad thai from other Thai places around the peninsula, so I don't know if they added something that I'm not used to, or if I just got bad chicken. Either way, it wasn't a pleasant evening. Given the sort of weird service, the bad tummy after, and the fact that I'm not in the neighborhood all that often, I most likely won't be visiting this location again. I do, however, highly recommend the Wonderful Restaurant next door -- I go for the Japanese food, but they also do Thai, so if you have a hankering, it might be a better bet for you! read more

Spice. Up. My. LIFE Thai Erawan! Wow! Firstly, I'm grateful they honored my check in for a free order of spring rolls. The owner explained that the offer should only be applicable to the Norfolk branch, but she'd gladly honor it as it was my first time dining in. I ordered the shrimp pad tai with only a bit of spice (level 1) which tasted amazing. It was piping hot, the shrimps were cooked just right - the dish was packed with so much flavor. I also got food envy over what everyone else ordered, it all looked SO good (and tasted yummy too!) For dessert, I shared half & half with the hubby. The sticky rice and mango though - oh my gosh yes! Why haven't I tried this before!? And the coconut custard, where have you been my whole life!? Service was fantastic, we were really well looked after, and there was a constant flow of customers picking up take out throughout our meal. I'll be back again for sure, or will order take out, as the food here is packed full of flavor with generous serving sizes. read more

Food was not tasty ... Servis was ok but food was not as good . No flavor.... Felt a little unwelcome?

The food was pretty bland in comparison to other Thai restaurants in the area. The service was good, we got the food to go but the person helping me was nice. I'm not sure I would ever come back, it's not gross by any means it just needs to be seasoned better. read more

This place has gone down hill since I first tried it. The Pad Thai which is usually a Thai restaurant staple was bland. The chicken satay was dry and came with water downed peanut sauce. The curries were OK, nothing special. read more

So over the gruff owner of this place. Doesn't greet you. Doesn't seat you. She said to me, "is there something wrong"? I said to her, "you're not very friendly". Then she changed her tune. My wonton soup was horrible. The broth tasted so odd and the wontons had a lump of coal for the filling. I only ate 1/2 of it, bluck! My cashew veggies wasn't bad, however I have had MUCH better at several other Thai restaurants. Will be a long time if I actually do return here. read more

My wife and I had lunch there yesterday and we enjoyed the meal. She had the green curry and she said it had the right amount of spice and tasted great.

We recommend this restaurant highly. read more

My husband and I love Thai food, and we were sad to see our local Thai restaurant close in Yorktown. It was recommended that we try Thai Erawan as an alternative. I ordered take out yesterday and was pleasantly surprised! I ordered the chicken pad thai, and it was great! Large portion size, stayed warm the whole drive home, and wasn't too spicy! I'll definitely be returning! read more

Thai Erawan is always on point. The staff is warm and friendly. It's like they are inviting you into their home. My go-to is the Pad Thai Noodles, but everything I've had has been delicious. I recommend a Thai Iced Tea to wash it all down. Now that they are on Door Dash, my debit card might be in trouble. read more

My wife and I called Before we arrived to ask if they were serving in the dining room. They assured me they could. We ended up having the restaurant almost to ourselves. However the steady flow of takeout calls and people coming in to pick up their orders was encouraging. The food, as expected, was excellent. We ordered the pad pik khing (sautéed green beans and steak with Thai basil, kefir lime leaves, and a savory curry sauce), cashew nuts with shrimp, and a wonderfully rich Masaman curry with chicken. We also had the crab angels, their take on a Crab Rangoon, but better! We finished with the fried bananas with homemade ice cream - mango ice cream for me, banana ice cream for my wife. All in all an excellent meal with plenty of leftovers for later. Highly recommended! read more

This was our first time here. The panang curry was the absolute best I have ever had. We also had the drunken noodle and the red curry, which were both absolutely delicious as well. Service was exceptional and the food came out very quickly. We will be back again. We have found our new Thai restaurant! read more

I order the spring rolls and a combination of chicken and shrimp pad thai.

Let me start off by saying that it's more of a 3 1/2 than a three (Come on yelp! Help us and put in that half star option! Lol) The restaurant itself is fairly large with little to no decoration. I didn't mind though, I'd rather have good food than good deco. My husband and I were greeted and seated immediately since it was a quiet night (we were one of three customers in the restaurant.) We placed our orders immediately, and our waters were brought out in record time. For our meal we decided to try their basil rolls, Chicken Pad See Eaw, and Massaman Curry with shrimp. First the rolls: I found them flavorless and the only taste you really get was the thai basil, which by itself tastes a bit like medicine to me personally. The only redeeming factor was the sauce, which was delicious. The Chicken Pad See Eaw was good. A little bit on the sweet side the more I ate it, but was good nonetheless. My husband was raving about his curry, I on the other hand didn't care for it but it's just my taste that I don't enjoy coconut milk in savory dishes. Overall the meal that we had was filling and did not put a dent in our bank account, which was a plus. Will I come back again? The chances are 50/50 since there's already a place in my mind when I think about good thai food. read more
