    #71 Basil Fried Rice
    Eduardo F.

    Had dinner at Thai House - University and it delivered exactly what a neighborhood Thai spot should. We ordered the Basil Fried Rice with chicken (added a sunny egg on top), Pad Thai, and the beef skewers. The basil fried rice was the standout. Great wok flavor, rice wasn't soggy, and the egg with crispy edges tied everything together perfectly. I ordered medium spice -- just right for me, although my wife felt the heat immediately. Thai medium is not American medium, so order wisely. The Pad Thai was solid and balanced -- not overly sweet, good noodle texture, generous portion. The beef skewers were tender with nice char and paired well with the peanut sauce. Service was friendly, food came out hot, and portions were generous. Now for my slightly controversial take: in my experience, Asian restaurants are almost never 5-star places. The magic zone is 3.5 to 4 stars. That's where you usually find the most authentic, no-frills, flavor-first cooking. If a place is too polished, something is probably toned down. Thai House sits right in that sweet spot. Would absolutely come back.

    #16 Tom Kha.
    Sydney M.

    I love Thai House! I always order from both locations (Pineville&University) and never have had an issue, which is why today I was a little disappointed. I normally either call in or place my order thru their website, and today I decided to call in. My staple lunch order is either tofu or chicken Tom Kha with a side of steamed noodles - today I opted for tofu. Called ahead reiterated multiple times TOFU with no spice (Im a huugeer spice wimp) and call disconnected before she quoted ETA pick up time. Soup is normally quick so I headed over after about 10min. Upon arrival I provided my name and Im here to pick up my tofu Tom Kha soup. She smiled and nodded and rung me up - about $13 which was suprising because my meal is normally under $10? Figured inflation hit the coconut soup, too. Thanked her and took my lunch home... to my disappointment found it was seafood after picking out all my sea creatures from my soup I found it was a high price to pay for like 3 octopus(?) rings, 1 shrimp and 1 mussel/clam thing? Im on a strict lunch schedule and didnt have time to pick up something else and disappointed after dumping extra lime juice in the soup to try to eliminate the "fishy" taste, it wasnt good enough to mask the taste. If I WAS a seafood soup person, Id be upset to pay $13 for that small portion of protein in this serving size. **JUST MAKE SURE YOU CHECK YOUR ORDER FOR TO-GO BEFORE YOU LEAVE**

    #55 Thai Sweet & Sour chicken
    Kyshia M.

    This was giving knock off thai food. Idk if it's because I ordered takeout or if I didn't order local favorites but it was a miss for me. When you order takeout everything is in separate containers. I got the Thai sweet & sour with chicken. It comes fried. Heavily battered. There wasn't any flavor to the chicken or the batter. I ate a piece before constructing my bowl just to see. For my rice I did jasmine. They had a lot of other options but usually jasmine is good with this dish. The pinkish-red sauce is questionable. Zero flavor and tons of onions. Literally it was a container full of onions and a scoop of red bell peppers, cucumbers and canned pineapple chunks. I chose #4 spicy and all I saw was some red pepper flakes sprinkled inside. They need to improve the flavor. It's lacking. Comes with a fried spring roll. I had also ordered the fried spring roll appetizer. Comes with 3 and a dipping sauce. The dipping sauce had more flavor than the sweet & sour sauce. I would eat the spring rolls again.

    First time in and the inside is beautiful. Im a sucker for art and they have the entrance decorated real nice. Also a sucker for Thai food and this place did not disappoint. I got a Duck Panang and shared mango sticky rice with my friend both were amazing. Never had mango sticky rice before and if you haven't you should definatley get some from here. 10/10 the server was super friendly and attentive.

    Pleasant customer service and fresh food for a take out order. Note that the soup is for dine in only, but we were very kindly offered soup to enjoy at the bar while we waited for our food!

    Second plate Thai style pad kee mao that was re-made
    Lee V.

    Love the service, ambiance of the place, and I just can't get enough of their iced jasmine tea!! But their pad kee mow was just not what it used to be. They made it with the red pad Thai sauce and I immediately noticed and did not like it. The noodles were all broken up into little pieces. I asked the waitress and she said they make it with the red sauce because everyone prefers it and I would've had to ask for Thai style. They did remake my plate for me which I appreciate but it just wasn't the same as what it used to be. I always come here every year for the authentic taste but probably not anymore.

    Quick and easy for lunch. My staff comes here often. It wasn't super busy and we were in and out in 45 mins. The staff was kind. The food was okay. I probably should have gotten at least a level 1 spicy for additional flavor. The restaurant was nicely decorated and not too loud.

    Potstickers, cucumber salad, and Tom Kha soup (small).  #12 Pot Sticker. #16 Tom Kha. #19 Cucumber Salad.
    Debbie T.

    Thai House is convenient to my workplace, so I was really hoping this restaurant would become a favorite. I visited on a Saturday afternoon and the place was full of people, which is typically a good sign. The cucumber salad was fresh & plentiful but lacked flavor. The steamed potstickers were overcooked and stuck together on the plate. They were flavorless, but the sesame soy sauce was passable. The Tom Kha soup was watery, but had slightly more flavor. I was never asked about spice level for the food. Customers new to Thai food may be satisfied with Thai House, but I will continue to search.

    What is the difference in Signature Pad Thai and the Thai Style Pad Thai?

    I believe the Thai Style has more fish sauce. I think this is more authentic. The signature is more of a sweet and sour base. More syrupy and orange.

    Basil Thai Cuisine is one of Uptown Charlotte's longtime favorites, and after dining here with a…read moregroup, I can see why. My biggest piece of advice: bring friends. The menu is extensive, portions are generous, and this is the kind of place where ordering a variety of dishes and sharing family-style is the way to go. That's exactly what we did. We sampled everything from fresh basil rolls, crispy egg rolls, fried wontons, and other appetizers to curries, noodle dishes, vegetables, duck, chicken, and more. The basil duck was outstanding, the red curry was rich and flavorful, and the ginger chicken was another favorite at our table. Every dish arrived fresh, hot, and beautifully prepared. The cocktails were equally impressive. Colorful, creative, and well-balanced, they paired perfectly with the bold flavors coming out of the kitchen. The restaurant itself is beautiful, with an open-concept kitchen that adds energy and excitement to the dining experience. Service was attentive, friendly, and efficient, even on a busy evening. Now for the only downside: the prices. Basil Thai is not inexpensive. Some menu items are priced more like what you'd expect in San Francisco than Charlotte. The portions are generous and the quality is excellent, but be prepared for the bill if you're ordering cocktails, appetizers, and multiple entrées. Parking can also be a little challenging since it's located in a busy Uptown area. Plan on using a nearby parking garage and walking a short distance to the restaurant. That said, if you're looking for a special night out, authentic Thai flavors, generous portions, beautiful cocktails, and a lively atmosphere, Basil Thai is well worth a visit. Life is too short not to eat well, Charlotte. Get out there and eat your way through it.

Basil was formal, but not too formal, we went after going to a Blumenthal event.

    A Cotswold Thai gem -- and save room for dessert!…read more I've been to Thai House before, but this visit was prompted by an American Airlines miles promotion combined with OpenTable points. Honestly, I'm glad it gave me a reason to come back! Located in Cotswold, Thai House has its own private parking lot, which makes getting in and out easy. I was warmly greeted as soon as I arrived, and the friendly, attentive service continued throughout my meal. I already knew what I wanted for dessert, so naturally I planned dinner around it. Priorities! For my entrée, I ordered the Pad Krapraw with chopped chicken ($17.95), a spicy basil dish loaded with chicken and vegetables. It was absolutely delicious, flavorful and generously portioned. There was easily enough to take home for another meal, which makes the value even better. Then came the real reason I had been saving room: mango sticky rice ($8.95). Oh, my goodness. Fantastic. The mango was cool and refreshing, the creamy coconut sauce was also chilled, and the sticky rice arrived warm. That contrast of temperatures and textures made the dessert especially delicious. Sweet, creamy, fruity, warm and cool all at once. I would come back for the mango sticky rice alone. Service was quick, genuinely friendly and welcoming throughout my visit. I also learned about a dine-in promotion where guests can purchase a frozen meal for $9.95 to take home for later. That's going on my list for next time. Authentic, flavorful Thai food, generous portions, friendly service, good value and its own parking lot. If you're in the Cotswold area and craving Thai, Thai House is absolutely worth a visit. And yes, I'll be back. Life is too short not to eat well, travel well or shop well. Get out there and find your next destination!

When we arrived, Kimberly greeted us with a warm smile and was incredibly friendly and welcoming. We originally wanted to sit outside because the patio was nice, but it was a little too hot, so we chose to dine inside where it was much cooler and more comfortable. Alicia took our order, and I have to say she was one of the sweetest people I've met. She was friendly, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcome. We were offered soup to start, which was delicious. For our meal, we ordered the chicken Pad Thai and roasted duck with BBQ sauce on the side. The food was very good and definitely satisfied my craving. The food was great, but Alicia's exceptional customer service is what will bring me back. She truly made our visit memorable

Naturally, I headed straight to Thai Thai Takeout, which has always been one of my comfort-food staples in Charlotte. Well, surprise -- the restaurant recently changed ownership and rolled out an entirely new menu. I was trying to order from my old takeout menu over the phone and quickly realized I was completely out of sync. Thankfully, the woman helping me was incredibly patient and kind while I figured it out. I ended up ordering the Pra Rahm Long Song with tofu, and honestly, it was delicious. It came loaded with steamed spinach, broccoli, mushrooms, carrots, napa cabbage, and cabbage covered in a rich peanut sauce that was comforting without feeling too heavy. The tofu soaked up all that flavor beautifully. I also ordered a pineapple red curry with pork at spice level 3. The curry itself was fantastic -- creamy, rich, loaded with pineapple, and really flavorful. I will say the spice level was pretty mild for a "3," so I added my own chilies at home to kick it up a notch. My only critique was the pork, which was a little dry and tough for my liking. I'm pretty particular about proteins and don't really do white meat chicken either, so next time I may try tofu or another option instead. The good news? The portions are generous, everything was packed nicely, and my order was hot and ready exactly when promised -- about 10 to 12 minutes after I called. Parking is easy right in front, and since it's takeout-only, it makes for a super quick and convenient dinner stop. Even though some longtime favorites like the satay seem to be gone, the new menu looks extensive and exciting enough that I'll absolutely be back to eat my way through it. Charlotte, there's a big wide world out there, and this is definitely a place worth adding to your regular rotation.

I'm basing this review on what I have known Thai Thai to be for years. I'm not sure when they changed but it's not good. None of the food is flavorful. It's all bland. Now it's been awhile since I've ordered from here but I live on the other side of town and had planned to order when I came over to this area. I ordered Pad Thai, Pad See Ew Gang Panang Curry and Thai Thai fried rice. I should have known something was up when a new voice answered the phone. She also had a hard time taking my order and the former cashier/owner had my order down pack. Now the new girl did try to make sure everything was right and even called back to confirm the order. Once home and unpacking the order I could tell something was up. Everything was packaged and looked different. Upon sampling all the items I can confirm the the chicken in each of the dishes is super thin and dried out. Kinda tough. The noodle dishes were also dry and don't taste good. The most palatable dish was the curry and that's not saying much. I'm going to do a little research but I'm pretty sure I will not be coming back to Thai Thai in the future and that hurts my heart.
