    Spicy basil chicken
    Lena M.

    Came here with a group of six on a Friday night. They were able to seat us immediately. We live nearby so walked to this spot, but there seemed to be street parking out front. Upon entering we were kindly welcomed. We each got a menu and they passed out water bottles. Our waitress was very attentive. Everyone in my group ordered something different. Two of my friends got curries they really enjoyed, another got some noodle dish. My fiancé got a variation of his fave, Thai chicken basil, which he said was just ok here. My bestie devoured some spring rolls. And I really enjoyed my pad see ew with veggies. Our food came out pretty quickly. When you're done with your meal you go up to the counter in the back to pay. I'm happy to have finally visited this Thai spot.

    Basil Fried Rice Pad See -Ew w/ chicken
    Cherayna T.

    The cuisine was great. The flavors were there, but I wouldn't say it was the best Thai food I've ever tasted. Although I didn't fully like my dinner, the basil fried rice was excellent.

    Hanging out with a friend who lives nearby and he was hungry, so we ended up stumbling upon Thai Studio, which he didn't even realize was steps from his house. I got the chicken pad Thai, he got pad eggplant, and we shared a fried calamari. My pad Thai was great and just the right heat at level two. Taste wise, it was good. It's hard to mess up pad Thai, and this didn't disappoint. Probably a little chintzy on the chicken, though. Portion size was good. He got the pad eggplant with heat at level three and said he couldn't even taste the heat. Neither could I when I tasted it, but it was delicious. It almost made me wish I got that instead. But there was almost no eggplant in it. The calamari was packaged frozen and tasted more like onion rings. DO NOT GET THIS CALAMARI. We barely ate any of it, and they didn't seem concerned that we didn't like it. This place does a healthy takeout business. Many people came in on foot to pick up their orders, as well as Uber Eats. If I were in the mood for Thai, I'd probably venture elsewhere before coming here, but it's not bad if you're in the area.

    I absolutely love Thai Studio! Everything I've had here has been delicious! We recently ordered the curry puffs, crispy duck basil and the panang curry and it was all soooo good! The sauce with the curry puffs really compliments the dish. The panang curry is the best I've had, the medium spice level has a nice spicy kick to it but not overpowering at all. The crispy duck basil is my favorite thing to get, but it's much better in the restaurant than ordering delivery because it did show up soggy. It's usually crispy, but it was still delicious. Overall, this is definitely my go to Thai place and I love their food.

    Pad Thai with chicken
    Lauren S.

    Just tore into my DoorDash delivery (which was super fast, like 25 mins). The pad Thai with chicken is delicious!! Tied with Patio Thai for my favorite in Richmond, and maybe even better. I see some people complain about too much fish sauce but to me it's perfect? Noodles are a great texture, big portion size. I haven't even tried the rest of my food (green curry and Tom kha gai) but I know it will be awesome based on this pad thai.

    Ordered in for a night shift - and while this most definitely was convenient, I have definitely had better Thai food in Richmond to date. Ordered the Pad See Ew based on a photo I saw on Yelp of the same order and got something different than what I expected - the chicken was overcooked, but most everything else in the dish was great - and they personalized the box with a nice little message directed to me! Sexy Shrimp appetizer was just fine - kind of bland, and not that sexy - although the dipping sauce made up for it :)

    Remembering delicious Thai on a past Richmond trip at Patio Thai, Yelp directed us to Jackson Ward to another five star-rated Thai spot- Thai Studio. After eating a Sunday lunch here, we left a little disappointed. It's not as good as Patio Thai, but still worth a visit. Here's our experience: 1) Food: Most of the food was good. My green chicken curry was flavorful and the level two spice was just right. My six-year-old daughter loved the mild version. The mango and sticky rice was huge and good. However, the papaya salad was not spicy at all. 2) Space: It's a no-frills space with plenty of seating. A single restroom is in the back. 3) Service: The man who took our orders is very kind. Spacing between dishes was a little slow when the space wasn't crowded, but still overall good service.

    Vegan Drunken Noodle, Vegan Red Curry, Brussel sprouts
    Sharvani M.

    Pretty good food! Trying a new Thai spot in Richmond when there are already so many can be hit or miss but Thai Studio is pretty good. We ordered the Brussels Sprouts appetizer, Red Curry with tofu and Drunken Noodles with tofu - all were tasty. We especially liked the brussels sprouts with the peanuts and sweet chili sauce addition. Portions were good and tofu is cut big. Nothing life-changing but very yummy for weeknight takeout! Also hugeee plus that basically anything we ordered could be made vegan. We are so grateful for that!

    Green curry with chicken, level 2 spicyness
    Julie T.

    This was my first time here and I did an order pickup. I ordered the green curry with chicken and I selected level 2 from a rating list of one to five, five being spiciest. At level 2 this is already really spicy, lol. The taste is very good though. This does come with rice and I hadn't seen that it did so I ordered a second rice side. The prices are good and the restaurant itself is very clean. It is small and parking is street parking. I do recommend this restaurant, so keep in mind that it looks like their levels of spicy is spicier than other Thai food places I've been to recently. :)

    Drunken Noodle with pork
    Lexi J.

    I ordered take out and wasn't disappointed, but I certainly wasn't impressed. The flavor was mediocre, but you do get a big serving. I'm used to having a mixture of colorful peppers and onions in my drunken noodles, and this one only had green peppers, onions, and green beans (unusual). Service was great! I would go back to try some other menu items.

    Thai Iced Tea

    Lovely authentic Thai restaurant in Jackson Ward! My friends and I stopped by after school to have some Thai food. The food was very authentic, and the service was IMPECCABLE. It was storming outside, and the sweet waitress ensured that we were safe and even told us we could stay for a bit until the storm died down. She was so kind and was very attentive to us! For me, the Panang curry was probably the best. The Thai tea was also great (didn't taste fake or too chemical-like which I have tasted in some other Thai restaurants). The papaya salad also tasted fresh and was a great addition to all the dishes we ordered. I definitely recommend to stop by! There's a good amount of thai restaurants in RVA, but if you want good-priced, good-portioned thai food that tastes AUTHENTIC, please stop by!

    Amazing food ! Service was on point even at the busiest time . Their boat noodles are authentic being that I am from bkk . everything tasted fresh . A place like this brings back memories of being back home . always visit when we go to Richmond .

    A neighborhood gem! Seriously delicious thai food from kind and friendly staff. So many vegan friendly options but I keep coming back for the ginger ginger with veggies and tofu.

The service can feel a little slow if you're in a rush. If you're doing takeout you go upstairs to grab your order. If you want to dine in, you go down to the left. On a recent trip, I tried their salmon curry and it was incredible. I highly recommend ordering this wholesome and delicious dish. This is a wonderful spot for Thai food.

I noticed a discrepancy between the amount on my receipt and what was actually charged to my card. It may have only been a small difference, but that's not acceptable under any circumstance. A dollar here or there adds up, and it raises real concerns when it appears to be a pattern. I had intentionally left a cash tip to ensure it went directly to my server, not through the business. Fortunately, I kept my receipt after hearing about similar situations happening before. When my statement came in, the charge didn't match. I called the restaurant to resolve the issue, and the floor manager said someone from management or accounting would follow up. Over a week later, I never received a call. I ended up disputing the charge with my bank. What should have been a nice Friday night dinner ended on a frustrating note. Unfortunately, that's what made the experience memorable--and not in a good way.

Personally, I would rather have more toppings other than carbs with a smaller portion. Overall, 3.5/5.
