The drunken noodles here are excellent, full of flavor and cooked perfectly. This small, locally owned shop has a cozy charm, and while the service is just okay--not bad, but not amazing--the food more than makes up for it. I highly recommend the curry at Thailicious, but when it comes to drunken noodles, this place is a standout. Definitely worth supporting local! read more

Food is delicious. Kind of just sucks that they raised the lunch portions and stopped giving a spring roll, soup, or salad with it. read more

Thai Riverside - Pad Thai lunch - Thai Near Me - Grapevine, Texas

I visited during lunch and was surprised that Thai Riverside is pickup/to-go orders only. The gentleman that took my order was very fast and not very polite or helpful. I asked if I could order the Pad Thai with chicken at spicy level 3/5, and he just turned around and started towards the kitchen. I had to call after him to find out how long the wait would be. Other than this, the food is really very good and took only 10 minutes from the time I arrived and left. The spicy level was perfect, chicken was delicious, tofu fried to perfection, and I loved that there was a ton of peanuts and a juicy lime. Sometimes when you get that lime it's old and dried up...not here! And the amount of chopped peanuts...some places are stingy...not here! I loved that! read more

Good reviews so I said to myself not to expect too much because of the demographics of the clientele. I'm not trying to be too critical and going anywhere for good food by gaylords is just difficult without venturing out too far. But regardless I'm a customer. I ordered the tiger cry, papaya salad, tom yum and pad Thai. Pad Thai was a bit mushy. The tom yum soup was very salty. Tiger cry was the only acceptable dish. No real options for a toddler which just killed me. read more

Delicious food. Service is hit or miss. The lady waitress didnt speak English. I asked if their thai coffee had whole milk or condense milk. I'm lactose intolerant, she said there is only one milk. I said um...so what kind is it? she couldnt tell me so I didnt order it at first. Somebody at the table spoke thai and they were speaking in Thai and she translated it to me. Their coffee has condense milk so I can drink it! it was good! Their drunken noodles was also delicious but the tom yum soup was the best! read more

Thai Riverside - Drunken noodles - Thai Near Me - Grapevine, Texas

My friend Jade Roberts ( Stallone Impersonator ) and I, Mike Goldberg ( Harrison Fort Impersonator ) were welcomed with a smile by our hostess and waitress Toung ( Translated into English as "Honey Bee" ) who sat us down and brought us our menus. Jade and I looked over the lunchtime specials for just $9.95 each. He got the Pad Thai, whereas, I got the Salmon which was sumptuous!!! Toung, also, allowed us to take a few promo photos without any hesitation!!! Having lived in both East & Southeast Asia, as well as, been a concierge for over 16 years, food is my speciality and believe me for $9.95 this was an awesome experience for both myself and Jade !!! We both recommend this awesome restaurant highly!!! ( And NO... they don't have snakes on the menu!!! ) www.stalloneimpersonator.com. read more

One of the most authentic thai food i have tried in USA. Would love to come back anytime. The server was also very friendly and welcoming for a small restaurant . Best thai food experience in a while. read more

Excellent lunch here. Food always fresh and a good size portion for lunch. I've tried Pad Thai, Green Curry and Yellow Curry and all were fantastic. read more

I love the green curry here. It's delicious. I am thrilled to have foundThai Riverside after moving here a month ago.

Once again, Yelp directed us to a fantastic restaurant. Reading the reviews, seeing the rating, and number if reviews made us want to visit. The food is awesome, and the owner is super nice. Will definitely be back the next time we are in town. read more

One of the best Thai restaurants! The ambiance can be deceiving but the food and the service were exceptional! I highly recommend this place. read more

Love this place and have eaten here several times, did not realize they charged more for take out orders but it's not going to make me stop coming here. One of the best Thai places around and love that they actually make food 'Thai hot' if you ask them to. Very good flavors and pretty traditional style cuisine, except I think they're slightly heavy handed with the sugar. I specify no added sugar when placing orders and it makes a significant difference. They are timely and food is always fresh and hot. read more

Great service. Our waiter kind of guided us as it was our first time there. We went with family style plates as we weren't sure what we'd like. All the dishes came out as they were ready and all were delicious. Kind of small portions. We will come back and try some more! read more

This place is kind of a hole in the wall. Good people, couple ran I believe and they keep the place really clean. They had to up their prices, which is understandable but I feel like they skimped out in servings. There was a bed of lettuce that looked like there was a lot more food than there really was. I ordered the drunken noodles and the flavor was not bad. It could have been a bit better but I'm comparing with other restaurants. Great place! I may just stick with my usual Thai place though. read more

This was my third visit to Thai Riverside, and the first after the mild remodel that saw the removal of the old buffet gear and addition of a modest bar in its place. The flooring was upgraded, and in general, the place looked freshened up. A definite improvement. But how was the food? I'm happy to report, as good as ever. I ordered the lunch special, choosing tum yum soup and spicy stir fry beef and basil. The soup was rich with a modest peppery punch, firm mushrooms and other vegetables to accompany the chicken. The beef and basil wasn't quite what I was expecting, coming out in a format that was basically "beef fried rice with some basil added in". It was very good, but I wanted something more vegetable-centric that rice-centric, so be warned if you're tempted to order this. Again, it was very good, with firm vegetables and spicy beef, with the basil adding that special Thai flavor. We'll be back here for sure, as it's a favorite of our Friday lunch bunch, and I'll make sure and steer towards the dishes with less rice next time. read more

Yes people, yes. I am giving 5 stars to this adorable, ultra delicious, tiny Thai spot! The prices are right, the food is incredible, the service is sweet, and the setting is serene. When my sister, niece, and I first pulled into this little shopping center, I thought for a second that the restaurant was titled, "Thai Riverside Donuts." I was confused and mildly excited (who wouldn't be?), but ultimately relieved when I realized there simply isn't much space between Thai Riverside and the donut shop next door. We entered our destination (around 1 PM on a Tuesday) to find only a few patrons in an exceedingly clean, pleasantly chill, and modestly decorated restaurant. Ahhh. I knew it'd be a peaceful lunch! We took our seats, set the sweet babe in a highchair, and perused the darling menus. All your classic Thai favorites can be found; spring rolls, soups, curries, fried rice, stir fry, noodle dishes, etc. Then there are a few not-so-common additions that further intrigue your mind and palate: curry puffs, corn fritters, deep fried tofu, crab rangoon, sriracha fried rice... But if you know me at all, or have read any of my other Thai restaurant reviews, you must know what I ordered. It's my goal to try it at every Thai place in DFW!! Red curry, people... Red. Curry. Red curry is one of my most favorite dishes ever. It's so beautifully sweet and spicy at the same time; that perfect blend of cool coconut milk and warm, earthy curry. Thai Riverside's version did not disappoint! It was completely splendid; filled with peas, carrots, crunchy bamboo shoots, and crisp green pepper. I did do something that I usually don't... I ordered this curry with meat. Chicken, to be exact! Thinly sliced, super moist, flavorful chicken. Perfection :) Did I mention that the meal I had was part of an $8 lunch special? $8 bucks for an entree and one appetizer; soup, salad, or spring rolls. I went with the house salad + peanut sauce and I was impressed. It was filled with bright greens, purple cabbage, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, crushed peanuts, and a creamy dressing. Delish! My sister ordered spring rolls and spicy pad thai (which she kept praising long after we left), and for my sweet niece; sweet sticky rice with mango (which was displayed beautifully and tasted fantastic). I love it here at Thai Riverside, and I see many future visits. It's a humble and serene venue with amazing food... BYOB as well; it couldn't get better! read more

Great Thai place in grapevine! Came on a Friday Lunch and it wasn't too busy. Clean and contemporary decor. Menu covers all your basic thai dishes and more. Thai ice coffee was rich and strong! Delicious! We ordered crab rangoons to start. Although on the smaller side, they were packed with flavor. Pad se ew- flavorful and you can smell the wok: try the roast pork it's delicious! Crab fried rice- actual chunks of real crab in there! Their lunch menu is M-F for $8.95 you get an appetizer or soup and dishes to choose from. Good amount of food for that. *yelp needs to remove the check in coupon as that was expired in 2013 read more

Thai Riverside - Yellow Curry all vegetarian! - Thai Near Me - Grapevine, Texas

We just finished lunch. This used to be one of our favorite restaurants. Today's lunch was not good. I ordered green curry. It consisted of cooked frozen vegetables, and canned bamboo. The only fresh vegetables were bell peppers. The food has seriously declined and we have crossed this restaurant off our list of spots to visit. read more

I used to love this place and had been going for years. Had a terrible experience today and the way they handled it makes me not want to go back. First I ordered the Basil Fried Rice level 4 and the price is $10.99. Received the bill and it was $11.90. Gave the waitress my card and the receipt that came back after she swiped my car was for $12.93. Although not a major difference, I inquired on the new price. Was then told the difference was due to it being a credit card and if I wanted to pay the $11.90 price I would have had to pay with cash. In my opinion, that should be told to the customer prior but okay so I took my food and went home. I ordered a level 4 spice level spicy basil fried rice. When I got home there was not any spice on the rice. And the rice did not taste like it usually does and had a smell. I called to request a refund and was asked well what do you want me to do? I said I want a refund. She puts me on hold and comes back and asks was there hot sauce on the side. I said no but there usually is not hot sauce on the side, you guys usually season the food to the spice level. She then tells me, we can remake it for you. I said no thank you, the whole ordeal has put a bad taste in my mouth so I rather have a refund. She then tells me I have to bring the food back in order to get the refund. I am going to take the food back up there because I don't want it but as the customer I should not have to waste gas to drive back up there for something that was their mistake. I definitely will not be back. I am going to try to find another thai spot or go to thai thip in north richland hills. I hate it though because I have been coming to thai riverside for almost 10 years and used to recommend this spot to others. Never again. read more

So I've eaten here several times now and I realize I love the food so much I have to change the four stars to five stars. I'm obsessed with the Pad Thai. I get it with tofu and it's so scrumptious! Unfortunately I had to change my five stars to four stars. I really like the food here so I'm incredibly disappointed in the fact that they charge ten percent extra on takeout orders. I've been ordering takeout here for a while now and I was completely unaware that they charge extra. I just noticed that they have a hand written piece of paper hiding off in the corner of the restaurant where they say they charge ten percent extra on all takeout orders. When I asked why they charge extra on takeout the person seemed embarrassed to answer. They said it's for the containers and utensils. Lots of places charge for delivery service which makes sense, but takeout!! When I drive myself to your business and I'm paying you to give me food why on earth are you charging me a fee?? I've never heard of this before. If their margins are so low than they need to raise the price of their food. What bothered me the most is that I felt like they were being shady about disclosing that information because the tiny hand written piece of paper hiding in the corner of the restaurant. Clearly they are trying to make sure that their sign is in a spot where most people won't see it, but they can say they disclose the fact that they charge an extra ten percent on takeout orders by having it posted on the wall. I'm super irritated and I probably won't be coming back here. read more

Thai Riverside - Thai Near Me - Grapevine, Texas

Spring rolls are huge and it comes with an ample amount of the sauce that goes with it. It's tangier than a normal peanut sauce, but I really liked it. Spring rolls are vegetarian unless you ask them to include meat for an extra $2 (worth it). Pad woon sen is pretty good, other reviews are right about it not being spicey. But it had decent flavor. Had to pick the cabbage and snow peas out, so I'll have to remember to ask to remove those next time. Decent portion. Not bad, but not memorable. It was convenient and hit the spot, but not good enough to choose it over somewhere else. read more

Thai Riverside - 2 Piece Vegetarian Fresh Roll with shrimp and pad woon sen. - Thai Near Me - Grapevine, Texas

I ordered basil fried rice, drunken noodles, and shrimp spring roll, and my total came to $40, so they are very expensive in my opinion. I know I asked for spicy number five for both dishes, but they made it so unbearably spicy, that It felt like it was done out of spite. The peanut sauce was very yummy, surprisingly, but the spring rolls were pretty small. read more

I came for lunch. They offer an $8 lunch deal with many entree selections accompanied by either soup, salad or spring roll. I had the green curry with soup. Both were very tasty. I selected a medium (3) heat on the spice and it was pretty hot. I did feel the curry had the right mix of spices to make it the complex flavors I have enjoyed at so few Thai restaurants. It was delicious. That pushes it up in my ratings. But on the downside I felt the portion of curry to be small, even for lunch. I would have liked more food. Also, the dishes were tiny, just a small bowl full to the brim and a small saucer of rice. I had to eat some of the curry to make room for rice. And the dishes, like the room itself, were quite ordinary, not inspiring at all. I will say the service was good. For the quality of the food I would go 4 stars. But the portions, the strip center atmosphere and the institutional dishes I have to go back to 3 stars. I'm thinking if you live in the area, takeout is probably the best idea. read more

Thai Riverside - Loved it! Spicy and flavorful! Service was great! I got the stir-fry ginger chicken. I will return! - Thai Near Me - Grapevine, Texas

My friend and I sat down here ordered crab Rangoon and curry puffs, both really delicious, we also ordered curry with drunken noodles, the food was extremely delicious my only issue with this is how the man treated us, telling us five minutes after we got there that the kitchen was closing and we needed to not wait longer than 5 minutes to order. Perfect fine we already had a general idea of what we wanted ordered but then we were there maybe a total of 40 min and another couple walked in and they ordered tons of food and the owner was so much more polite to them, not sure what the problem there was. read more

Thai Riverside - Drunken noodles, Curry, white rice, Thai Teas - Thai Near Me - Grapevine, Texas

We ordered chicken pad Thai. I got level one and my boyfriend got level 5. 1 being the least spicy, 5 being the most. Level 5 was not very spicy(if you love super spicy foods). You can ask them to bring out the pepper flakes and chili sauce if you want to add more spice to your food. I have been to Thailand and I ate pad Thai almost every day while I was there. I can't say Thai Riverside was as authentic and good as real pad Thai, but it was still good. We went on a Friday evening, the restaurant was nice, quiet, and cozy. You can BYOB and they will chill it for you. There is even a beer/wine store right next door, you can pick some up before dinner! If in the area, this place is worth a try. If I ever came back, I would try the drunken noodles. read more

Everything was wonderful- the dishes, the vibes and service. When I crave Thai, this is my go to place. You can do pickup as well.

My girlfriend picked out this Thai place to meet for lunch. We are always reluctant to try new Thai places because they are hit or miss. This one was a HIT! It's very non descript inside, and that's ok, hows the food? It's so tasty!!! I ordered the Drunken Noodles with Tofu (heat index of 4 on a scale of 5) and a Spring Roll. My friend got the Stir Fry with Tofu (heat 3). Every time I indicate the heat I'm looking for, it never delivers. Here, it totally did! Heat, with still so much flavor! The noodles weren't drowning in sauce which was nice, just enough to cling to them on the trip to your mouth. :D. The tofu was perfect. The spring roll-they actually bring you 2 of them- small and crunchy, super hot and the dipping sauce was yummie. My friend loved her entree as well. Lastly, when the check came, they brought 2 Lifesaver mints. I didn't think anything about them until I popped one in my mouth! Orange mint! I had never had one and asked for another one. Now I'm on the hunt for them. The server was super cool and kept our waters full the whole time. I'll be back!! read more

Always on point. The food is the best! The customer service is always kind and prompt. What more needs to be said!!!

Finally!!! Amazing and flavorful Thai in the DFW area. I moved here a year ago, from California, and I've been trying to find a great Thai restaurant. I found Riverside by pure luck and this is my second time here in a week. They provide a scale of 0-5 for levels of spicy for their many dishes. I had the Panang Curry with scallops, Pad Thai with Tofu and the corn fritters for an appetizer. I am very reserved when in comes to compliments on Yelp. I recommend this restaurant to anyone within 30 miles. read more

Very good food. The Thai iced tea was nice and strong. Quite reasonable prices. Definitely will be back and recommend.

This was great. Would definitely recommend the fried cheesecake. Got the veg drunken noodles, loved it

We ordered tum yum soup and it was just warm not hot. The crying tiger was also just warm and the meat was tough and no flavor. The back area is very dirty There's a $10 coupon on yelp but according to them is yelp fault that still there for check-in since they have yet remove it. The service was good but not good enough to return read more

Yummm, Thai Riverside! This restaurant is easy to miss. I had no idea it was back here until I stumbled upon Grapevine Beer & Wine. Lucky thing it's nearby, since Thai Riverside is BYOB. Every single thing I've tried here has just been over the top, delicious perfection. The pad num prik pao is fantastic to the point that I have trouble convincing myself to try new dishes because I crave this one! My husband is obsessed with one of their current chef specialties, the panko salmon. Their levels of spiciness are right on target, so order with confidence. Count on fresh vegetables, beautifully presented food, and perfect flavor combinations here. And I'm not usually a dessert person, but sweet baby Jesus, their fried ice cream is magical and heavenly and everything good in the universe. It's never been busy here when I've been. In fact, we are usually the only people in there while a steady stream of people come in and pick up their take out orders. We've also been the people coming in for take out, so I'm sure that's the crux of their business. You can place your take out order online, which is convenient, but they don't have everything on their menu online - for instance, the yummy chef specials. So to get the full breadth of what they are offering, you'll need to go in and order. Fortunately, it's a very cute restaurant with good service! read more

We went here for lunch and it was fabulous!!! Their lunch menu is very reasonable and includes all the Thai favorites. They use a 1 to 5 scale for the level of spicy-ness. I love spicy food (it's not hot enough unless you're sniffing) and I ordered a level 2 based on the recommendation of my friend and it was perfect. I had the yellow curry and it was so fresh and flavorful. My friends had pad Thai and asked for spice to be added and they loved it. The lunch entrees come with a appetizer too and I had the veggie spring roll was great. Will definitely be back here. Great hole in the wall! read more
