Impressive Thai cuisine in Kingsport. We tried the pad thai, chicken satay, spring rolls and crab rangoon. All was fresh and tasty. Chicken was tender and very flavorful. Liked the spice level in both the pad thai and peanut sauce with chicken satay. Folks were very nice and service was solid. Would definetly eat there again and would recommend to anyone that enjoys legit thai food. read more

Riverside Thai remains dependable and tasty. The interior is still spartan; after all, one can look upwards and see the insulation above rather than a proper ceiling. But the folks who work here are exceedingly pleasant and efficient, and the food hits just right. Collectively we've found the following to be our favorites The spring rolls Siam noodles Pineapple or mango fried rice Drunken noodles It's by no means fancy food, but for consistency and simple flavors done well it's easy to say Riverside earns our business. read more

Decided to give this place a try with my dad and son. The atmosphere is very laid back and not much to look at unless you sit outside but it's a small local restaurant. For Starters we had egg rolls and pork dumplings. They were delicious and fresh. I had the red curry chicken and to be honest the coconut overpowered the entire meal. It was way too sweet for me. My son had the yellow curry and the same thing it was coconut overpowering the meal. Dad had the meal of the night. The Bangkok noodles with chicken. It was amazing.. This is a different type of food than I'm used to and I decided to venture out. Overall I would not give this a high rating for myself but since this is a new type of food, I factored that in. read more

Great place for Thai cuisine. Came here for a ladies lunch, the restaurant can accommodate large parties in one section and smaller ones in another. I ordered Pad See Ewe, which wasn't on the menu, but the kitchen was able to accommodate the request. Nice! The variety of dishes my party ordered looked delicious and appealing! read more

We were recommended to try this place by a local and decided to give it a try. The service was very nice and quick. I will say the ambiance is okay..the decor does not match the menu if that makes sense. I would get take out next time. The portion sizes and prices were great. The food was good, I would try again! read more

Thai Riverside consistently delivers excellent Thai food with a wide variety of choices. It is located next to the Greenbelt and has an outdoor deck where you can enjoy the view of the river. Not fancy in decor but if you're looking for delicious and consistent Thai, this is a good place! read more

Great food, service and ambiance. I enjoy going when I get in that area. Especially overlooking the river. Makes dining even better. I wished they'd fix up the area a bit. Looks run down, but still a great space. read more

Stopping in for dinner while I'm on business. I liked the reviews and love Thai food. The fact that this is family owned makes it special too. The servers are very sweet. I've ordered my tea, half and half, perfect. The reviews on the crab rangoon and chicken fancy made me interested in trying both but I know there's no way I could eat that much. Rangoons were really good with a great dipping sauce. It was hard to stop eating them when my fancy "Chicken Fancy" came out. However, first bite in and I could tell I was going to enjoy it like everyone else has! It was wonderfully seasoned and extremely well flavored. Although I only saw one couple, eating on the patio, there were at least 9 or 10 people coming in for pickup during my first 30 min. After that, the place literally filled up!! I stopped counting the number of takeout orders after that and just focused on my delicious dinner. read more

Waitress was very attentive and accurate with all our orders. Food was very tasty. Servings were large enough that my sisters and I took enough home for another meal. read more

Great food! Chicken satay, spring rolls and the best massaman curry I have ever had. I have gone back three times in two weeks since finding the restaurant. No need for me to try another Thai restaurant in Kingsport. read more

This place could have been on DDD (Diners, Drive-in's, and Dives). A true Dive so don't go for the ambiance but the food is fabulous! We ordered take-out at the register. Service was friendly and prompt. Even though the restaurant was fast filling up we got our food and were on our way 15 minutes later. Prices were surprisingly reasonable. Wife ordered Mango fried rice with chicken and asked them to hold the egg. I ordered sweet and sour chicken and an order of spring rolls. First, the mango fried rice came exactly as ordered. (They left out the egg as asked. Obviously a kitchen that pays attention.) Wife loved it. My sweet and sour chicken was made with real chicken, not those deep fried fake nuggets, and was also excellent. Portions were good sized but not overly large. The spring rolls were crisp and tasty and the sweet and sour sauce for the rolls was the real deal. Nothing in packets! Definitely a neighborhood dining experience that is worth getting off the main drag to find. read more

It's best to sit outside, weather permitting. The view of the river is amazing. I've had the beef pho, the Thai fried rice with shrimp, crab rangoons, and chicken satay which were all very tasty. Don't forget the Thai iced tea! read more

Good food, friendly people and nice atmosphere. Price per portion size is very reasonable. Food is cooked to order, so it may take a couple minutes longer, but it's well worth it. read more

GCame while I was on vacationing, visiting friends. They stated this was the best Thai they've had in TN so far. We picked this Thai restaurant for dinner. We were seated quickly, waitress was friendly and attentive. Food was so good and large portions. We all had left overs. Chill atmosphere, not too busy. Table ordered: Red curry with pork and jasmine rice and a sweet tea. Sweet tea was very good. Chicken fancy with jasmine rice. This was the table favorite. Drunken noodles with chicken. Wide Wok noodles with beef. Beef as slightly chewy but overall great. Would definitely stop by again while visiting. read more

I've never had Thai food until last week and it now is my favorite place! I have eaten there twice now and it was great both times! The staff are so sweet and service is very quick. I love the way the restaurant looks on the inside and the lighting is very relaxing! If you've never had Thai please go here for your first time! I've heard that Thai food is spicy but I don't feel like it is to spicy for someone with a sensitive stomach. read more

If you like your food unusually sweet (I don't) and with no spice/heat whatsoever, you will like this. Not for me, but orher people in my party liked it. The outside patio by the river is very nice. read more

I have had a hankering for some good Asian food. One of my friends recommended this place. I placed a takeout order on a rainy Tuesday. I ordered Thai fried rice with shrimp and some spring rolls. I drove over to this place right off Nederland Inn road next to riverside. Exceptionally clean place and so quaint in its decor. As I waited for my order to be prepared, I perused the portions they had for dining in. Just a few tables but a very nice screened patio awaits nicer weather. When I got home and tasted my choices, I knew this was going to be one of my new favorite places in Kingsport. A big shout out to the ladies working there. You did magnificent. read more

They have the best Thai food. Crab Rangoons were a great appetizer. Chicken Fancy tasted so good, pineapple full of chicken, cashews, peppers, and pineapple. I think I could eat this everyday. Our waitress was attentive, will definitely be back. read more

Food wasn't bad but it's over-priced. I'm from Nashville and even there they don't charge $1.75 for one small spring-roll. There was only 4 in an order for $7. I thought it be comparable to Thai Noodle Town but it's much pricier with no better quality. I'm by no means cheap, but I find these prices absurd for what you get in return. read more

Great food & great service. They were very busy, but handled it very well. Will for sure go again.

We have eaten there twice and food was fantastic. Will definitely go back. Crab Rangoon was excellent. Everything we have tried there has been really good. Stop by and help out a local owned business! read more

Great place for some different Thai dishes than the standards. They have a Sunday menu as well featuring items not available through the week. read more

Food was fine, definitely not the best I've had: for Thai it was pretty bland. Was really casual vibe. Server was good.

Great food and service. Curries and shrimp dishes were fantastic. Reasonable prices. Five star meal for four.

Best Thai food I have had in a long time. Service was great and fast and the establishment itself was clean and well decorated

I've been to this restaurant three times since it opened, and, being from Atlanta, I'm no stranger to Thai cuisine. This is in an older building and is definitely "no frills" as far as decor. This is no big deal to me, as long as the food is good. The ventilation system could definitely use improvement, since, on a busy night, they're doing a lot of stir fry dishes. As for the food, I've been pretty pleased with it, overall. I was sad that they didn't have basil rolls, but I understand that there isn't a big demand for them up here. If they aren't served fresh, the wrappers will get rubbery, so I get why they don't serve them. I had the hot basil chicken. It had quite a bit of heat on it, so if you don't like spicy food (I do), you might ask them to make it milder. Their coconut milk, chicken lemongrass soup was very good. My mother really liked the Massaman Curry. My daughter's Red Curry had a bit too much salt in it. The Pad Thai was okay, but not great. I've had the fried rice with thai basil and mango and it was very good. My daughter says the Thai tea (has cream in it, just so you know) was really good. The service is good, although when it gets crowded, it's a little slow. More importantly, they've always gotten the orders right. read more

There are a number of crappy Thai restaurants in Kingsport! This is not one of them. A small place that looks like a work in progress. Our twosome won't for lunch on a Wednesday and all of the tables were in play.. I measure a new Thai restaurant by their ability and present classic Pad Thai and these forks deliver. Coupled that with Tom Yum Gai (special order since menu presents chicken with Tom Kha). Also had an order of spring rolls. All good. Entrees were enough to take some home. It would have been nice to wash it down site a Singha but they aren't there yet read more

Amazing authentic food and drink; nice servers, not too expensive; serene decor and nice TV stations!

The food is ok. My pad Thai was very greasy. Thai Cuisine behind Planet Fitness has a better flavor. The score is mostly for the unfinished insulation exposed ceiling. I'm not sure how that passed inspection. Had I noticed it before we ordered we wouldn't have stayed. read more

rly good I lik the chicken satay Ching Ming long Wong tong very good yesss i relly hope they no cook my puppy

I've recommended this place to a number of people. My brother and I had dinner there a couple of days ago. I love Thai food and prepare it myself often. We ordered spring rolls and dumplings as appetizers. They were apparently deep fried to the point you could break your teeth out on them. We waited for nearly 15 minutes before our very sullen waitress brought us menus and eventually, drinks. The food was just okay. No carrot flowers or anything like the photos. Tables near us were also waiting for service and then food. They were not thrilled and we spoke openly about the poor service. The food was pretty good. The service was not good at all. If you want a friendly Thai experience, go to Thai Noodle Town. I really, really wanted to give this place a good review, so I'm sorry to say I'm disappointed. I don't think I'll eat here again. Sorry. read more

If you like Thai cuisine, Thai Riverside will not disappoint. It's not fancy inside but the outside deck overlooking the Holston river and the Greenbelt setting is great. The food is the real star and it's not terribly expensive, considering the quality, taste and serving size that are exceptional. Their staff is always cordial and pleasant. Their mango with sticky rice dessert is worth a visit all by itself. We highly recommend this restaurant! read more

We recently moved here from California, we decided to try Thai Riverside for dinner one night while we were still unpacking our kitchen. This place did not disappoint! The pad Thai was very flavorful and saucy, probably the best I have had in a very long time. The Panang curry that my husband got was also fantastic. We loved it so much we came back for more the next night. Definitely support this business, their food is delicious! read more

Amazing food and friendly staff. I enjoy the brocolli chicken and the mango and sticky rice
