    My Husband, Son and I ate here for lunch.Our Server AK was good.The food was great . The guy Owner was Hospitable and Kind.

    Lunch specials!

    I finally got to try the famous gumbo ramen from Thai Nola and now I completely understand the hype. I first tried it at the restaurant, then had to get it again during French Quarter Fest because I could not stop thinking about it. It is honestly one of the most creative and flavorful dishes I've had in New Orleans. The broth is rich, smoky, spicy, and packed with deep gumbo flavor. Every bite had something in it. Shrimp, sausage, chicken, vegetables, noodles, and so much seasoning without being overpowering. The ramen twist somehow works perfectly with the New Orleans style gumbo base. It feels like comfort food with a creative upgrade. What I really loved is that even at a busy festival, the quality was still amazing. The portions were generous and the food came out hot and fresh. If you see the gumbo ramen on the menu, get it. Don't even second guess it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]To be honest the ambiance was cool but the flavor of their food makes you forget about anything else around you!!![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Good vibes with good people.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Music was bumping[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Staff / Family of this establishment was dope and super friendly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I felt free as soon as I walked through the door.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Good stop for us from Mobile,AL as we were making our way to see New Edition Concert and had heard about this place via instagram or something. Food was delicious. Crab Rangoon was superior. Gumbo ramen was enough for 2 meals. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Keep up the great work and positive vibes.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I'll be back. Johnson's OUT!!!

    I visited Thai Nola on a Thursday afternoon. There weren't a lot of patrons, but I could see the kitchen staff was busy with to go orders. We were greeted quickly and chose our seats. There was a kiosk where we could order, but we ordered with the server. He was nice, but a little inattentive at times. He explained the heat levels, and suggested heat level two for our food. The portions were huge. We took food home, after barely making a dent. I got drunken noodles and Thai tea. The tea was a bit too sweet for my liking, but it was still good. The fusion of New Orleans and Thai food is intriguing. There was a menu board outside with specials that definitely reflected Louisiana cooking. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The menus and chairs had a little wear and tear on them, but that did not distract me from enjoying my food.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I appreciated being able to tap my phone to pay instead of them having to take my card. I would go back to try other dishes.

    Ramen gumbo

    I drive in from Dallas often and every time I always like my first stop to be Thai Nola. The food is always 10/10 but the customer service is like no other. You can't find food like this anywhere else, it's very unique. I always come for the Ramen gumbo and I'll keep returning for the service as well! This place is truly a New Orleans gen

    This time I ordered the smothered okra, fried catfish, and cornbread. Everything was delicious. The portion size did not disappoint, it was very generous. Customer service was great as always. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I love the food, service, and vibe of this place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    The food was so amazing and very large portions. The owner even let us sample the gumbo while we waited on our entrées and it was so good. Definitely going back and getting a whole bowl.

    Let's just say when my daughter came home I had to sneak up on her to get this photo. The size of the serving was perfect. The thinly cut carrots and chicken delicately placed in the container with the perfect amount of bean sprouts.....service was prompt..... [[HIGHLIGHT]]the ambiance felt like I was at home waiting for my plate.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Gotta go back again.

    Garlic stir fry combination

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Thai Nola is a whole vibe. As soon as you walk in, you're greeted right away and taken to your table, which sets the tone for a great experience.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambience is amazing, very quiet but lively at the same time.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The staff is super friendly and really attentive, which I appreciated. The portions are huge, so you're definitely getting your money's worth. I had the garlic stir-fry and shrimp in a blanket, and everything was just so good. I don't have a of the shrimp but trust me, the flavors were there, and I had enough to bring home. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Also, this is a great spot for groups. You could fit about 10 people in there comfortably without it feeling tight.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I truly enjoyed everything about it and will definitely be back!

    Bomb food for a very affordable price! The owner is the most personable restaurant owner I've ever experienced. Very unique favor for a thai-nola fusion.

    Tofu Pad Ga Pow
    Amaya W.

    This place was amazing! From the service to the amazing food everything was a 10/10. The food was great and very fresh. The Thai tea was my absolute favorite. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Also there is a good amount of seating options inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Food was amazing, the people are real chill and helpful... just don't be silly and say omg spicy here actually means spicy. I'll be back so should you.

    We ordered take-out from this place and it was definitely a hit! Not pictured here was a delicious shrimp pad Thai (level 2 heat). It was just the right amount of kick. Would love to actually eat at the restaurant next time we're in town!

    Really nice meal before the show with my vegetarian friends…read more Recently a couple of friends and I needed to grab a quick bite. I thought we were going to another place when one of my guests suggested Thaihey across the street from the fire station on Decatur. Yes, sure. It's a typical Quarter restaurant with its long gallery seating. We were seated right away. The menu appeared to be heavily vegetarian which was great for my two friends. Many will understand the limited menu options for vegetarians at most places. Wes ordered Tom Kai, Becky the Massaman Jackfruit option and I the one with short rib. It was delicious. It was warm and comforting, full of flavor and the chef made it less spicy for me. What a delight to choose a menu option that I have never had and restaurant that I have never been to. You believe that I'll return for certain. Especially for that gorgeous Mai Tai!

Try Thaihey you should be pleasantly surprised.

With that out of the way, choosing tofu as the protein opens up almost the entire menu, very nice. We had Pad Thai, Pad Cha stir fry, and tofu soup. All were very well seasoned and outstanding. We ate at the sidewalk seating on a glorious evening. Not much more to say. Order at the counter, get a number, find a table, food will be delivered and the table cleared.

Thai food can sometimes be hit or miss for me, and I'm usually pretty particular about what I order. I don't tend to branch out too much when it comes to Thai food because I already know what I like. But this place definitely impressed me. From the rice dishes to the noodle dishes, everything was seasoned perfectly and packed with flavor. Each bite was delicious, and I really enjoyed how well-balanced all the flavors were. It was the kind of meal where you just keep eating and forget you were supposed to take pictures in the first place! The restaurant itself is spacious and has a really beautiful aesthetic. I loved the combination of the artwork and exposed brick walls. Together, they create this rustic, cozy feel that makes the space feel both stylish and inviting. The ordering process is pretty simple. They give you a menu when you arrive, and then you head up to the register to place your order and pay. The food came out surprisingly quickly, which was definitely a plus because I was hungry! Overall, I really enjoyed my experience here. The food was flavorful, the atmosphere was beautiful, and the service was quick and easy. I'm glad I decided to give this place a try, and I'd definitely come back to enjoy another meal here.
