I was in Reno recently, and while I was walking by the river, I came across The Coconut Downtown…read more I'm so happy I did because this place was such a great find! This is a Thai restaurant, and when we got there they were getting ready to close, but thankfully we were still able to place an order to go. While we waited for our food, we grabbed a drink at the bar. We didn't have to wait too long at all, which was a big plus! We ordered the yellow chicken curry and the chicken Se Ew, and both were SO good! The yellow chicken curry had so much flavor and was absolutely delicious. The Se Ew was also really good and had such a great flavor. I was so happy with everything we got! The people working there were also super sweet and helpful, which made the experience even better. They have seating inside and outside, so it would definitely be a cute place to sit and enjoy your food. I'm already wanting to go back the next time I'm in Reno to try more things on their menu. I would definitely get the yellow chicken curry and Se Ew again because they were that good! If you're in the area, you should definitely go try this place. The food comes out quickly, the staff is amazing, and you won't be disappointed!

Best Thai food place in town IMO. We keep going there every…read moreweek! Love their Pad Thai, pineapple red curry, avocado cheese roll and mango sticky rice! Generous portion sizes, good taste and I love it here in winter overlooking the snow capped mountain. The ambiance is great! Service can be slow sometimes, but this place is definitely worth it.

We've been eating here for years. Super accommodating of my kids' picky requests. Food is delish!…read moreEveryone we bring here is hooked as well.

Well, well, well... thanks to my son I took a chance on a place I have driven past a hundred times…read more And what a fantastic surprise!!! Thai Chili is a sleeper for sure, as it looks pretty Ho hum from the outside. Once inside, however, it's really homey. It's a little overcrowded with mismatched stuff, but it WORKS! I loved the ambiance for its non traditional, non sterile atmosphere. Now for the food! While maybe not 5 stars, it's a solid 4.5. Everything we had was top notch, with a couple of things being absolutely outstanding. Best of the night were the Curry Puffs, dipped in there insanely excellent peanut sauce (not too sweet and almost like a hint of chili oil) The Springs Rolls were a close second and my Mango Curry dish sparkled. Great Yellow Curry!! My son had a noodle dish that was also incredibly tasty. Have to say it may take me some time, but exploring their very extensive menu will be a pleasure. A big shoutout to Kylie, whose smile lit up the room and was accompanied by her fabulous service. Don't let the nondescript exterior stop you from trying this place. Some of the best Thai food I've had in Reno! Cheers, JimG

4.5 rounded up…read more I've been searching for the best Thai curry in Reno and this is the best I have found so far. The Panang Curry was flavorful and had good texture. My wife had the papaya salad and beef pad see yew, which were also both good. I look forward to trying more of their menu including the soups and basil chicken. Food: 4.5/5 Service: 5/5. Ambiance: we did a pickup order but the restaurant is simple and nice. Easy parking.

I came in here with a friend for a quick dinner. We were quickly seated and provided menus. They…read morewere busy even though it is a small restaurant since they get a lot of take out. My friend and shared the following: - Crab Fried Rice: I am usually picky with fried rice because it can get dry very easily depending on how it's cooked. However, this was cooked perfectly and seasoned well. - Yellow Curry: This was good and came with a bowl of rice. How it was served gave a very homey feel. - Mango Sticky Rice: The rice is sweet and the mangos were good. However, there is a big difference in the amount of mangoes and rice they serve per plate compared to the first time we were here. Overall, the food tastes good and the service is okay. I am disappointed in the lack of consistency with plating and amount of food that is served. I would not eat in the restaurant in the future, but prefer take out. I really wish the presentation and comfort was the same as when I came in the first time. There is a difference seen in the pictures from the first time I came to eat in the restaurant versus now.

My sister in law treated myself and 11 others to a nice lunch over the Fourth of July weekend…read more The place is small, but did not feel so, and the got us in right away even though it was crowded. I have eaten at hundreds of Asian restaurants over the last 23 years, ( some even in Hong Kong and China ) all over California, and even owned one in Sacramento. (Japanese Ramen) The food here was quite unique, very tasty, and these guys managed to put at least four dishes on our table even I had never tried before, and they were all great! Good job 101! I highly recommend when you are in Reno and traveling with your Asian family members.

We came to 101 Taiwanese Cuisine because of the good reviews and had pretty high expectations,…read moreespecially seeing how busy the restaurant was. Once we were seated, our order was taken almost immediately. Service was efficient and prompt. It wasn't particularly friendly, but it wasn't rude either, it felt very much like the staff was focused on turning tables quickly, which is understandable when a place is that busy. What I didn't expect was the flavors of the dishes. Each one seemed to have an unusual sweetness that didn't feel typical for Taiwanese food. From the Mapo Tofu to the salted fish fried rice and even the Taiwanese popcorn chicken, they all had a noticeable sweetness to them. Maybe I'm a bit spoiled by the variety of Asian food options we have living in the San Francisco Bay Area, but the flavors here just didn't quite match what I usually expect from Chinese/Taiwanese

Had the yellow curry w/ chicken and shrimp spring rolls - phenomenal! Highly recommend the place!read more

I ordered online and arrived on time and maybe a few minutes early…read more A few people were waiting before me, perhaps it was DoorDash or UberEats drivers. Then a few people after me, but the lady putting the orders together never acknowledged us. Finally a girl came over and asked all of our names on the orders. Perhaps understaffed on Sunday, July 5th? I noticed that one of the 2 men cooking had no hat or hairnet on. That seemed unsanitary. The dish I ordered was fine and with the right amount of spice, as I ordered it #3 for spice on a scale of 1-5.

From start to finish, it was an outstanding epicurean delight…read more Our group of five fierce women completely and absolutely enjoyed every moment and every bite of the beautifully presented dishes. The portions were generous with plenty of leftovers to pack up in takeout boxes for enjoying for another day. My favorite three were the ahi tuna, the black cod and the brilliant asian/french mash up of red Bean Creme Brulee. I also need to mention, I loved the lamb tenderloin. I am not a big lamb fan, but this New Zealand lamb was tender and non-gamey. The owners did an outstanding job of timing the dishes and engaging with our group while also taking care of other diners including non event patrons getting getting take-out and inhouse menu dining. The space is very small, but even with and almost full house, it didn't feel cramped. Even though Kwok's is right across the street from where I live, this restaurant would be at the top of my list of "I would drive out of my way to eat here"

I try to never miss a Chinese New Year or Fall Harvest Moon dinner here…read more They never disappoint. Both require a reservation made at least a month in advance, they are always a sell out. To start, you can't go wrong with the enthusiastic welcome we always receive. Then quickly seated and wine poured. The 2026 CNY menu was fabulous, with some great surprises. The ahi tartare portion anywhere else would have been a shareable appetizer. But each person was served a large portion of delicious fresh ahi. Mmmm this course and a glass of wine could be dinner alone any other evening. The soft creamy rich egg custard was hidden under a thick seafood gravy. I really enjoyed this unique dish. The miso black cod is always flaky and delicious. And the crab fried rice it's nestled on also never disappoints. The rich New Zealand stir fried lamb and shiitake mushrooms over pea shoots was a fabulous hearty dish on this chilly March evening. The braised short ribs were so tender no knife was needed, they flaked apart with the fork. And the e mein noodles were perfectly al dente. The dinner wrapped up with a crème brûlée that only Kwok's could pull off - red bean. Creamy smooth. Not overwhelming. The perfect burnt sugar layer on top. The regular menu is just as delicious. Small inside seating area, so recommend always make a reservation. In the summer there's a fabulous patio area out front. Limited street parking.

I see quite a bit of negative reviews primarily from delivery orders. Everything here was very good…read moreand the service was excellent. The veggies are organic, the food was flavorful and not oily. I'd definitely recommend this place, maybe try dining in if it's your first time. Aside from food and service, the inside was very clean and well organized. Had to leave a review after our experience because these other reviews aren't lining up... surprisingly good drinks too. They are very knowledgeable on gluten free options as well

Cafe De Thai is in the heart of Midtown and has a lot of vegan friendly options that made it a…read moregreat spot to have lunch. Our server was very knowledgable on their vegan items so it helped in our decision making. We ordered the Mushroom Salad, a Tofu Pad Kee Mow, and their Tofu Satay. The mushroom salad was a refreshing standout filled with a variety of grilled mushrooms on a bed of greens. Our noodles with tofu and veggies was also great - large portions and plenty of protein. As for the satay, they accidentally brought out chicken satay at first, which our server immediately noticed and rectified the issue. When the tofu satay came out, it ended up being skewers of fried tofu puffs that you'd dip into their peanut sauce. While delicious, I was hoping there would be more creativity in layering or marinating the tofu with the sauce like the chicken satay would have been. As a Californian, I appreciated the lower pricing for their menu items and found it fairly inexpensive given the times. Overall, I really enjoyed our meal here and found it a good spot for Thai in the area.

Last night we went back to Chin Chin for the first time in quite a while and invited some friends…read moreto join us. We decided to order the combination family meal so everyone could try a variety of dishes. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted like old friends. Even though it had been a while since our last visit, the staff remembered us, which made us feel so welcome. I love the ambiance here. It's quaint, clean, and comfortable, with soft lighting, relaxing background music, and cozy booths that make it a perfect place to enjoy a meal and catch up with friends. We started with soup. I had the hot and sour soup, which is always my favorite, and our friends tried the flower soup, similar to egg drop soup, for the first time. They really enjoyed it! For appetizers, we shared the prawn, egg rolls, and crab Rangoon, and everything was delicious. For our main course, we enjoyed the Szechuan chicken, Hunan chicken, sesame chicken, and the vegetable plate. Every dish arrived hot, fresh, and full of flavor. The service was outstanding. Our server checked on us often, kept our water glasses full, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. We always have a wonderful experience at Chin Chin, and this visit was no exception. Great food, excellent service, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere keep us coming back. We highly recommend it!

hello again dined here again…read more ordered the pad thai and that was mediocre red curry was pink, and way different than thai curry or indian curry which I dont recommend, the flavor was not there and not enough sauce fried tofu was good food can definitely improve went on a night that the chef and team were arguing in the back super loud, it kept going where they were yelling at each other while were eating it was a weird night
