Highly recommend trying: Paper Lantern, White Pepper Lady, Closing Hour Sour, Espresso Martini, Velvet Select. We also snacked on the truffle fries, which were super tasty.

I have been eating at Noi's Thai Kitchen for years. The staff is awesome and the food delicious. I like my food spicy and Noi seasons the heat to my preference. BUT here is the big sell for me. Not only is the food loaded with flavor but Noi will prepare mine so that it is gluten free. I am gluten/dairy/peanut free. All you have to do is ask and she will prepare the menu items gluten free. I eat here often and eat the specials sometimes as well. Her curry fish is the best. The salads are delicious and tasty. The curry and rice dishes are fragrant and can be spiced up for you at your request. GO EAT NOI'S THAI. mmmmmmmm. Good. read more

Unreal! For only 5.99 I get pan fried chicken, fluffy rice, and fresh vegetables with a very nice ginger sauce to dress it all. Not to mention the delicious fresh rolls with peanut sauce (toss a little hot sauce in there to kick it up a notch). It's very healthy, tasty, costs Less than Chick-Fil-A, and I get to feel good about supporting local business. Not to mention the service is great. The servers are very friendly and helpful. The owner, Noi, lived in Thailand for 40 years, and she is there cooking everyday! I love this place, and go there as much as possible. read more

Noi is an excellent chef and Lenny is a friendly and professional manager (who looks like the fonz). Their Pad Thai is delsih with just the right amount of spice and if you are vegan , they are happy to leave the egg out. Also, they don't use fish sauce in any dishes unless requested to to so. Great curries, soups and their fried tofu (they'll put in any dish), is flavorful and has a great mouth feet. Nice people-- great service and pleasant atmosphere. read more

Noi's is my healthy choice for lunch in Asheville. I like the special with fresh rolls. It is the best deal in town. The staff and owners are friendly. It is a relaxing atmosphere with great food prepared daily with fresh ingredients. Noi is in the kitchen cooking. She is authentic Thai. Her food is a representation of what she would cook for her family at home. I feel great after eating at Noi's. read more

I always have a great meal at Noi Thai. The fresh rolls with peanut sauce are always delicious, and my favorite dishes are the Pad See Ew and the red or green curry with red snapper.

We wanted them extra crispy - the kitchen did not execute. Fried rice was perfect - crunchy with plenty of protein, a combination of shrimp and chicken. Portion size was large. Would definitely return. Classic flavors, friendly service and good value. Highly recommend without any reservations. Enjoyed the experience.
