I've been coming here for about 3 years straight. It is my go to spot for Thai food and has the most excellent pad Thai in the state of South Carolina. The pad kee maw is also pretty good. The staff is friendly and in my opinion a tight knit family. The ambiance is good, they have a TV always on and the tables are comfortable to sit at read more

The flavor of the food was ok. There is flavor, but nothing amazing. I got mine to-go, but the service was ok for the short interaction that I had. The ambiance is your typical hole in the wall Thai place. Here's my problem. . . I got pad Thai, fried rice and spring rolls and it cost $43. This wouldn't have been an issue is the portions reflected the cost, however it did not! There was hardly no protein in the pad Thai or fried rice! The shrimp that I paid to add. . . 4 pieces of shrimp. What's even worse is that the chicken was DRY. Even the sweet and sour sauce was not good. Would not recommend this place. read more

We love it! The Curry's are phenomenal. I get the Panang Curry cause I like more of the coconut milk flavor and he gets the Red Curry. We just ordered for the second time this week. Friendly staff, no complaints. read more

While on vacation this week in SC and performing my Auntie Mom duties, my nieces informed me that we needed to visit the Thai House Buffet & Sushi Bar for my Thai fix. While my home in San Antonio boasts some amazing Thai dishes, I was ready to dine on some decadent Pad Thai and placed an order from the phone. I cruised Yelp for photos and their website and called ahead to ensure the food would be prepared once the girls were out of school. I ordered an entre of Beef Pad Thai, Glass Noodles with Chicken, and two orders of Chicken Fried Rice. Since I was looking at the lunch menu, I figured I scored some delectable dishes at a decent price with the double order of rice for dinner. The food was prepared quickly and ready within 15 minutes. The girls and I stopped in to pick up our meals and the owner greeted us warmly and asked us where we would like to sit. I told her that I was there for a pickup and she already was bagging up our meal. When she said the order was $58 dollars, I had to ask her to repeat herself. I said Ma'am I believe you are mistaken as those are not the prices that were reflected online. Her husband I believe shot out a hasty "Those are OUTDATED". As a consumer, if your prices online are outdated, I believe it's the owner's responsibility to update accurate prices for lunch and dinner portions. For her price, I could have driven to Columbia, gotten lunch prices and had funds left over to fill up my tank. And for the price, the portions were not that large and I'm disappointed that I did not see my receipt in the bag to see what I was actually charged. While the food was tasty, the skimpy portions of meat added showed me that I paid nearly $60 for pasta, as the protein was barely present. I took the opportunity to discuss inflation with my nieces and discussed why it's better sometimes to eat at home when lunch can cost $60. While a decent meal, this establishment lost a star for outdated information. I would recommend if you are in the mood for Thai, but feel the price is over inflated for the area. I do see supply and demand working in their favor as they are the only Thai establishment in Sumter. read more

The vegetable pad thai here is my favorite dish. They also serve an awesome roasted duck recipe that's lip smacking good.

The Pad Thai was amazing. The noodles and meat were seasoned well while not being too spicy. The large serving size to price ratio also made it worth the slight more expensive price than other nearby options. I ordered takeout and the service was simple and efficient. Overall, I enjoyed my time and food while visiting this restaurant. read more

I don't wanna take off too much, but I really feel like the portion sizes are lacking for the price you pay. I got very little chicken in my ka pow entree. I ordered the entree and Thai tea for $24. I pay less for more/better quality Thai food in L.A. and Vegas. read more

I love Thai. Of all the Thai places I've eaten at this was the nastiest. I got the chicken pad Thai and I didn't like it at all, very disappointing! read more

Delicious dinner for 1. Ok so I only had a few bites of the curry and pad Thai and was able to enjoy this meal for 3 actually. I used to live here and this was my treat to go to when I was a young single mom of two Airman. Now I'm just an Airman that makes more and can afford to treat myself a little more often. It's been 11 years since I are here and just as delicious as back in the day. I will frequent here often while I'm here for the next few months! read more

I've been coming on and off here for several years. Generally it is better to get things to go. But there are some general traits I have seen to be fairly constant. Many times if your order to go appetizer items they sit around getting cold while your meal cooks. They for a while made the best sushi in town, but now it's just lackluster. some of their dishes are some of the best Asian food I have ever eaten, Tiger Tears, Pad Thai and Lobe to name a few. I say four stars but it could be better I think. 9/2/17 Lately the food has been much better and the portion size has been more like what you should be getting! Keep up the good work. read more

I hate to leave bad reviews, especially for a nice group of staff/owners, but we tried both the sushi and Thai entrees and neither were anything but edible. The sushi was no better than grocery store sushi, with cold, mushy rice and skimpy cuts of bland (tasted frozen, not fresh) fish. The Thai entrees were very flat and 'muddy' in flavor, lacking any of the bright, flavor bomb nature one would expect of good Thai food. The staff were VERY nice. read more

I read some of the reviews and was a bit skeptical but upon eating there and finding out for myself I can't understand how there could be anything negative to say about the place. The food was excellent, some of the tastiest white tuna we've ever tasted...buttery and rich. I, personally,tried the Laab as well as the red curry and both were fantastic! The service was delightful! This place is a definite repeat for us! A+ read more

I was never even acknowledged I seated myself sat at a table over twenty minutes no help they were busy but at least acknowledge your guest. I heard they have good food will never know i walked out and will never be back! Poor customer service read more

Heading north or south I always plan a stop in Sumter if I can just to visit Thai House. Palome is an incredible sushi chef and I call him my friend. I miss lunch here when I used to live in Sumter. Don't pass this spot by. The back room is now available for special events. read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE!!! The people in this place are so nice and the service is good. The place is not in the best of condition but it it has some of the best sushi in town. You have to get the momma roll if you like sushi you would love this place. The sushi is at a reasonable price due to inflation. Like I said these people are so nice they treat you like family when you walk in. They remember us and they know that we always go there for the sushi. I would give this place a thousand stars if I could. read more

Good food but prices could be lower. Most authentic Thai food in Sumter that one could order.

This is my favorite splurge! The best Sushi, Ginger salad, Sashimi, and stir fry around. The owners and staff want to please their customers. read more

Thai House Buffet & Sushi Bar - Thai Near Me - Sumter, South Carolina

This is me and my husband's go to place. Food is amazing and staffs are even more amazing. We eat here almost every week. Fave dish is the fried whole fish and the red curry husband cant get enough of the panang curry. Oh mahn the sushi and sashimi here is of the chain. So fresh and well made!!! Favorite restaurant in sumter read more

I had their JM28. Fantasy Roll for $11 today. It claimed it had shrimp, eel, avocado, asparagus, scallion, roe, mayo, and was topped with eel sauce. It had almost none of that in shape or form you could recognize. There was mayo, and something batter-fried and crusty inside with no taste or flavor. So you could not make out if that was a plant, fish or someone's nails. There was no eel that you could taste or smell as eel. The eel was the main reason for getting this dish. The worst part of this dish was the eel sauce. It was some concoction of sugar, flour, soy sauce and water . It was disgusting and sweet and had no resemblance to the actual eel sauce. I DO NOT THINK THEY KNOW WHAT REAL EEL SAUCE OR EVEN WHAT REAL SUSHI IS. I would request the owner to go to a Japanese restaurant (like Saky in Columbia) and taste an eel sushi with eel sauce and then taste their own weird item and give their own verdict. DO NOT EAT SUSHI HERE! THEY DO NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT JAPANESE FOOD. read more

I called an order in for pickup and I was told I can pick up my order at 4:30. I got there at 4:45 and the doors were locked. I called the Restaurant and the owner opened the door and had an attitude and tried to come up with all the reasons why they were not open as if it was my problem. I tried to cancel my order but she insisted on preparing my order which was not ready for pick up at 4:30. I took my order home and the portions were very small than usual. It's the customers that keeps that restaurant open and with the attitude and customer service I got I DEFINITELY won't be going there EVER!!! I paid $28.00 for the small portion of Pad thai and Pad see ew and the worst customer service and the food was nothing to rave about. This place is NOT worth the cost!!! Save your money and go out of town to a better place. read more

The sushi was so delicious the service was really good and the rice and plum wine divine. Prices are good too! Will definitely be back.

I had the drunken noodle and a soup. The noodle was different than most places I have had it, not sure if it was a good or a bad thing. The soup was phenomenal, very hearty! The food came out very quick and I was very pleased with the pricing. The staff was very nice and helpful. With not many Thai options in the area, this was the best I could find. Stop by and you be the judge. read more

Had the Panang Curry, extra Thai hot. Very tasty curry and the heat was superb. It's the first Thai food place in Sumter that we've tried, so I'm not sure how it stacks up against the others. It was good though. The food came out very quickly and was affordably priced. Helpful waitstaff as well as we tried to decide which of the dishes to try. Their menu is extensive. read more

Thai House Buffet & Sushi Bar - Panang Curry with chicken, extra Thai hot. - Thai Near Me - Sumter, South Carolina

I used to live in this place back in 2005-07... It was always my favorite place to go. I am back in town with friends and they couldn't wait to bring me back to my old haunt. I've been all over the place since this location and I have to say I was really disappointed. My taste buds have grown a lot since 07 and the flavor here just doesn't exist. I don't know if it was me or if the food has gone that far down hill. One of the wait staff doesn't sit well with me either... She's very terse with you and doesn't make you feel welcome or like you want to hang out. I'm sad to write this review... One of my favorite places of all time and I just don't want to eat there anymore. read more

While visiting Sumter, my husband drove me from the airport straight to Thai House. I wasn't disappointed and somewhat surprised that there is such a great restaurant in town. Definitely a gem. The menu is plentiful and loaded with options to choose from. I decided to get the Pad-seelew and hubby ordered the Thai Lo Mein. Both were delicious plates. For an appetizer, we ordered the fish cakes which are a bit spicy and hubby couldn't stomach more than 1. I happily finished them off... Thai tea is good and a great retreat from the regular soda or tea. Service is excellent and friendly. Prices are cheap for Thai fare. Mango sticky rice (seasonal dessert) was packed to go and tasted delicious when I returned to the hotel to enjoy. No complaints here, and will definitely come back if I have an opportunity to visit Sumter again in the future. read more

Went there @ 6:00 on a Wed, a few people eating in but not busy at all. This place seemed clean enough and i was seated promptly. I ordered the Sushi appetizer (10 bucks) and the Pad Thai (10 bucks). The sushi was not that good. The rice seems too soft and pasty and a bit dense. The rice didn't have much of a vinegar taste, but certain pieces tasted sweet. The slices of fish were a little on the small side and not particularly flavorful. The app had 6 Nigiri pieces and one maki roll and is quite filling. The Pad thai was served piping hot and it was timed perfectly. It was spicy and tangy, you can't miss the smell of fish sauce and vinegar. The noodles were cooked just right and the veggies looked fresh. The portion is a bit deceiving, as it doesn't look too large but it was plenty filling. I ordered chicken, which it did have a good chicken to noodle ratio. I ordered this "medium" spicy which was just fine just for my palate, but i have a feeling they know how to kick it up a notch for those that are adventurous. As other people have said, these people are very friendly. They seem to know plenty of customers on a first name basis and interacting with them for the first time was easy. I'd skip the sushi but i'd come back for more thai food. read more

With Swanthani's gone, Thai House is the most consistant and flavorful in Sumter. And spicey! I love spice and heat but their "thai hot" slowed me down... I agree that they need to create a bigger presence for themselves outside because I know a lot of people don't even notice them. And I, too, have noticed different chefs/cooks each time I've been there. read more

Several of my friends like this place and I've given it multiple tries over the last few years without success. This last time I went when a friend was in town for the first time in years and she wanted to go here. I can honestly say I've never had any food from this establishment I enjoyed other than the fried bananas. Everything seems to be bland and covered in tasteless sauce. I've tried duck, chicken, rice, noddles, and so forth. I don't know what else to say other than it just isn't good especially for a place where I end up spending 40 dollars for an appetizer and a meal that are always just bad. I stopped somewhere else for food on the way home last time I went. read more

Best in town! Been going for years to this place and Wouldn't go anywhere else. Everything is good!

The food and service at this place was sub-par, and that's putting it nicely. When my food was finally ready, it wasn't as hot as it should be, and when I mentioned it to the staff, I got a roll of the eyes. Honestly, there are many other much nicer restaurants in Sumter. Don't waste your money, time, and appetite at this place ! read more

This place was a great dive spot for me in Sumter. Not the best atmosphere but delicious food and I remember the service being very attentive. I'm not big on sushi but my parents loved trying their many varieties. My favorite meal was the chicken fried rice. Simple but most places can mess it us, the Thai house had it tasting like delicious comfort food! read more

This is by far my favorite place for Sashimi and Thai food! The place always smells so good. Sushi and sashimi are prepared by the owner himself. Everything is so fresh. They even have their own organic vegetable garden in the back. They have a semi- open kitchen so you can see that their kitchen is spotless! We order a plate of sashimi for appetizer- super white tuna, salmon, tuna, yellowtail and red snapper. For entree, we had a whole fried fish, papaya salad, pork laab (salad), and sticky rice. Of course, when you go to Thai restaurant, you have to order SINGHA BEER! It goes well with everything especially sushi and spicy food! :) read more

I tried sushi with raw fish for the first time here and lived to write this review! Boss paid for it too, that makes it even better. (Birthday dinner) I got the spring rolls, tuna sushi, & a California roll. It surprised me that raw tuna didn't taste fishy or raw at least like I was expecting. I'll be back. read more

The original to it's sister restaurant in Florence, SC, Thai House Buffet & Sushi Bar is excellent. Please don't let the exterior turn you away! The food is excellent, the waitstaff is kind and helpful, and overall the place is super. My kids love going to get some noodles and sushi, and I adore their spicy beef salad. I don't think anyone I've dined with has had any complaints on their meal. read more

Thai house was good. They have a good selection of food options. I had the beef panang with rice with a 3 for heat. Good flavor, good level of spice heat. I recommend this restaurant. I did not have any alcohol so I don't know what is their selection. read more

The service was good, it's clean, and the prices aren't too bad. I had the Vegetable Kim Pak with tofu added. Wasn't a huge fan of the amount of lemongrass, there was actual lemongrass cut up in the soup. I don't fault the cooking I think that's purely a preference. I'd recommend going here if you're in the area, especially because there's mainly boring American restaurant chains here, sad. read more

Always enjoy the Pad Thai and sushi. the prices are reasonable and the service is good. the best place in town for Thai food!

This is our favorite sushi restaurant!. The staff is friendly. The food is awesome, the sushi is incredible!

I just finished my meal here. Definitely would pass on this place. When I walked in around 2 o'clock I was the only person in there. That should've been a sure sign but I wanted to eat and get going. I am visiting Sumter from the Charlotte area. I'm used to pretty good Asian food and this place was pretty disappointing. The sesame chicken with white rice was one of the lunch specials and it was nine dollars, which is a very special to me.. To add, fried rice was a $3 dollar add-on, seems a bit pricey to fry some rice.. I then was checking out and she told me the bill was $9.98 which included tax and she charge me $10 even to make a few more cents on me. I hope I don't get sick, if someone so cheap to round off your bill, they're probably skimping on everything else because they're so cheap. If you're thinking of eating here, good luck, you've been warned. read more
