I was reintroduced by my cousin. I haven't been here in a while and can't remember what i ordered my first visit, but since i've been getting the E5: Pad Prik Gra Prao (Basil,green onions, onions, & snow peas) with chicken protein). Absolutely delicious . I get heat level 2 which really isn't spicy at all , very flavorful. The rice is always perfect for me and melts in my mouth instantly when i drizzle the broth over it. I absolutely love the food here and would eat here everyday if i can. I usually come upon opening or lunch and it's usually one person at the counter. You can sit anywhere in the restaurant as long as the seats are empty. The waiter takes your order upon the walk up unless you're in a group or dining i'm willing to review the menu. Inside is usually quiet unless there are groups of people. The ambience is pretty chill. The location is great if you are visiting VCU/VUU area. Not great parking.

Thai top ten is my go to, any day/anytime! 10/10 Wonderful, kind, and sweet staff and yummy noodles. Very cute ambiance! Amazing Thai tea. They have so many entree options, and the food comes out fast and steaming! I love you Thai top ten! read more

Pot stickers came swimming in curry sauce rather than pan fried with sauce in the side, weird. Also, web site doesn't clearly state that they're located on Grace St downtown rather than in Glen Allen. Tried to call 5 times after placing on line order to cancel, no answer, left message, no call back. After too long to cancel they finally picked up. The persons answer to not being able to get it, sorry. Or you could just leave it here after paying for it. Not a workable solution read more

It's frustrating when you drive 45 minutes to pick up food from here and you ask the cashier, "is everything in here" and they tell you yes. You go home and you're missing items. Maybe I should have double-checked, but I thought their word would suffice. Placed a $50 order and I'm missing two orders of jasmine rice and an order of papaya salad. Tried calling to go back and pick it up, but the call goes to voicemail numerous times. We all love Thai food, and we all know how important the rice and papaya salad is. EDIT: We went back and got fresh orders of jasmine rice. They also gave us two complimentary Thai teas! The som tom soup was sour and spicy, the nam tok had all the ingredients including the roasted rice, the papaya salad was spicy and had peanuts and carrots. Portions were filling. Prices are fair. I'll be returning to Thai Top Ten! read more

Every time I've eaten here or ordered out, it has been the most delightful, delicious thai I've had. The servers and cashier are always kind and on top of it, and I can bring a group or just one friend with me, regardless it's a perfect spot to eat. read more

This is THE Thai place that I will only go to! Not because it's closest to my house, but everything on their menu has been delicious. My go-to dish is their Drunken Noodles (any protein) with flat noodles and medium/hot level spicy - depending on my type of mood. Just...perfection. My husband's go-to has been their curry and I try to get a small bowl of rice afterward for their broth. The appetizer dish that I would recommend is their curry dumplings. Whenever my husband and I finish the dish, we would often save the sauce to add over extra rice the next day or so. I hate that I always end up getting their drunken noodles and my husband is trying out all of their different curry dishes each time we order. The food has never failed us and they do have flavor and kick. I also enjoy the fact that they offer Gluten Free options! My friend has very bad allergy to Gluten Free so I'm glad that we are able to have a spot close to home to enjoy some happy hour and grub. Not to mention that it's also close to HomeGoods and Target to "help digest"/"walk off" some of the food. haha read more

Best Thai food in Richmond! They also have great pho, by the way. This restaurant is family owned and they are the loveliest people. The folks they hire to wait tables and run the cash register are also wonderful-- one of them told me once that she worked there in college but came back to work some shifts after graduation just because she enjoyed it there so much. But come here for the FOOD! It's fresh and flavorful and DELICIOUS!!!! Quick service too! read more

Food was delicious and fresh. Service was amazing and fast. Great for a lunch time refresher.

Ordered Thai Top Ten for delivery and got their Pad Thai, Pad See Ew and an "Appetizers for 2" which included Spring Rolls, Fried Wontons, Shrimp Tempura, and Fried Dumplings. Starting with the appetizers, I'd say these are pretty standard fried appetizers which were nothing to rave about, but weren't bad either. For the entrees, the Pad Thai was good but was lacking a bit in terms of flavor. When I think of Pad Thai, its either a sweet version or savory version, and this was oddly in the middle for me. Again, not bad, but I would've preferred a stronger flavor profile with this one. The Pad See Ew, on the other hand, had stronger flavors and I thought this was the best dish out of the bunch for me. All in all, Richmond has quite a variety of Thai restaurants and Thai Top Ten happens to be one of them. While it didn't blow me away, it was a solid meal and I'd say worth a try when you have the chance! read more

I was meeting up with a friend nearby at Cary Street Gym, and we needed a post-workout snack. My workout partner has been a regular at this spot for years, and I can't believe this was just my first time going! I have been seriously missing out. The food was incredible!! If you're meeting your friends near VCU campus and need some grub, do yourself a favor and drop in. read more

A group of us from work orders food last night and had it delivered. I had the Pad See Ew and the Thai tea. Although it was a large portion, I did not really like the food. I've had plenty of Thai food before but this one did not taste right. The noodles were overdone, the broccoli was underdone and the usual taste/sauce for it just didn't taste like the normal kind you get with the dish. It tasted weird. Then the tea was really strong and had this terrible aftertaste to it not to mention it was overloaded with sugar. I was really disappointed and will not be going back again read more

The food is great and I love how many options there are. Our server was super nice and we were pleasantly surprised to get a spring roll with our order. Overall, this was the best pho I've had so far in richmond. I definitely loved the spring rolls but though the sauce with the steamed dumplings were too sweet. read more

happy to have found a spot that could fulfill our late night pho craving! we ordered takeout and by the time we got back, our broth was still hot and everything smelled and tasted delicious. I wouldn't say it's the most authentic or traditional pho since it's primarily Thai food, but I'm still glad that we gave them a try. it's located close to campus and it is primarily street parking. read more

Oh my gosh you guys this is Richmond's biggest kept secret when it comes to Thai food!!! It is so relaxing and nice in there, and we always get greeted and served by what feels like the best waitress in the world Sarah!!! And we haven't even gotten started on the food. It is so amazing and rich and it's also super affordable compared to other Thai places in the area !!! just try this place once and you will be hooked!! read more

Thai Top Ten - Baby loving tofu - Thai Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

Ate here 4 years ago and remembered how good it was so we ate here again. Not sure why it too so long to return. Forgot to take more pictures but food looks and tastes fresh and good. Veggies are crisp and perfectly cooked. Spice levels can be adjusted to your taste but you are warned that if you select too hot, then it's too bad. We had medium and should have gone hotter. No matter; very tasty and filling. Sauces are good and soaked up by the rice. Only two or three persons work the seating area so you may be delayed getting your order in, but you will see them working really hard. Richmond has several really good Thai restaurant options. Kind of a hidden gem. read more

Thai Top Ten - Tom Yum hot pot - Thai Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

I got the eye round pho, it was heavy on the cinnamon and/or cloves which is not my preference but otherwise it is pretty good and the meat is soft which is so important. I also had the fresh rolls which were so small for $5.50 :( and it had so much basil stuffed in it i couldn't enjoy it. The peanut sauce (w the fresh rolls) is on the sweeter side, not my preference for peanut sauce, but it is still tasty. Overall it was a decent meal but not my favorite pho in town. Still on the hunt! Also the staff is always very hospitable. read more

Out of the different Thai food places, Thai Top Ten is my go-to choice. My favorite dish here is the pad see ew. I like how you can really customize it by choosing between thin noodles and flat noodles, American broccoli or chinese broccoli (gai lan), and spicy levels from mild, medium, American hot, and Thai hot. The portions here are large, and lunch entrees are served with some fried chips and an eggroll. The servers were really nice and came back multiple times to refill water. They are nice about separate checks. The restaurant is decorated nicely, has a comfortable zen feeling, and is pretty spacious. The hours are a little weird and may be inconvenient because they close between 3-4 PM Monday through Friday and 3-5PM on Saturdays. There is only street parking available, but you have to pay for the meter on weekdays. Tickets are frequently given out on Grace Street, so pay the $1.25 per hour parking!! read more

Unexpectedly stumbled across Thai top 10 today and was pleasantly surprised with a vegetable spring roll little appetizer to start. Food was very good as well and I cleaned my plate empty. I'm not sure sure if I was just thirsty but the water also tasted extremely satisfying and really quenched my thirst. Would recommend going, seems like a nice family owned buinsess and I liked the atmosphere ( got a nice window seat). In the photo is my fried tofu appetizer and my spring roll. Yumm read more

Delivering for Grubhub brought me into this Gem of a place. I walked in and noticed a gentleman obviously in need of some additional help/little extra loving enjoying a bowl of soup. I smiled and greeted him and proceeded to the counter for my customers order. I was immediately greeted with a smile by Sarah! What a sweet soul! I picked up my order and asked her if he dined there often. She told me "yes, he dines here almost daily and we cover his meals" WHAT A CLASS ACT?! You just don't see businesses like this anymore. Most of them treat the less fortunate/homeless like they are less than and as promised Sarah, here is my raving review and genuine THANK YOU for being so kind to not only that gentleman but also to me. God bless you Sarah and Thai Top Ten in VCU! read more

Went to lunch there with a large party during the week. With it being in the heart of VCU's Monroe Park Campus, it seems to be a popular lunch spot. So I was surprised that only 1 waitress was working the floor. But she was able to handle our large party, the other large party that came in after us and everyone else in the between. For my lunch, I chose the fresh rolls and Drunken Noodles (or Noodles of the Drunken as it is printed on the menu). When asked for the spice level I wanted, I timidly said "medium" since it was my first visit here (and after seeing the sign on the wall). My Thai fresh rolls were crunchy and delicious. I liked my Drunken Noodles, too. Medium spicy was the right way to go, too. Some heat that still allowed me to enjoy the flavors of the sauce and basil. In all, I like this place. When in the neighborhood, I will definitely stop back in. read more

Did an online order of the pad see ew with tofu. Food was ready at the expected but, but it was not good at all. The menu says it should have eggs but there were no eggs. It was just noodles, broccoli, and tofu. The sauce was also not flavorful and the noodles were extremely oily. I like that you can customize the broccoli and noodle, but was disappointed in the quality especially after reading reviews. read more

I often try not to write bad reviews unless warranted. Thai Top Ten is the worst Thai restaurant I have ever tried. Hungry at work and late, I opted to order thai since my coworkers never tried it before. I wasn't looking for the most authentic but just something tasty. My coworkers had no expectations but regretfully, I should've I ordered somewhere else... their first experience with thai food was horrible. My order consisted of panang curry, chicken satay, papaya salad and pad thai. First, as you can see in my pictures, the sauce for the panang curry is broken. The broth curdled and the solid pieces floating throughout made the dish completely unappetizing. There was very little protein as well; I asked for chicken. Overall this dish is the main reason for my 1 star rating. Clearly this dish was not made correctly and should have never been served. The chicken satay looked like it was sitting out for hours. When I opened the foil, it was lined with grease.... but then....the actual chicken on the skewer is dry. How that is possible... I do not know. Again, you can see it in the pictures below. If that wasn't enough, the sauce that paired with the chicken had a thick layer of grease too! The pad thai was "ok." Not the best but not the worst either. Decent noodles but nothing to praise. I still wouldn't order it. Overall, I would NOT go back and I would NOT recommend this restaurant to anyone. I'm still very bothered by the lack of quality control with the dishes. Richmond is filled with great locally owned restaurants. This is NOT one of them. How can anyone, the chef and owners especially, stand behind and be proud of dishes like these? I hope something changes because the apathy and lack of quality is unfair to customers. read more

Probably one of my favorite restaurants around campus, both for dining in, as well as delivery. Portion sizes, as mentioned in other reviews, are incredibly generous and could last most people 2 meals ( not me doe ). The chicken pad see ew is my usual go to, but on colder days, I really enjoy their assorted beef pho. Pro tip- always order Thai spicy, it'll burn your mouth, but in a good way read more

Got food here to-go a couple days ago with my friend and sister and it was not the best experience, to say the least. Mind you, I had had Thai Top Ten plenty of times in the past and I really liked it and never had any issues but OH BOY. I usually always get a noodle dish - either pad Thai or pad see ew - but I was kind of sick of noodles and wanted to try something different so I ordered the massaman curry. Usually I love curry, especially massaman curry, but I was not impressed by this one. I don't know why exactly, but I just didn't like it. It was just eh. My sister ordered pad see ew and I sampled some of hers since I didn't really enjoy my curry. The pad see ew had good flavor but it was pretty greasy, which was a bit offputting. That being said, it wasn't me or my sister, but rather my friend who had the worst experience that night with Thai Top Ten. First, her order got mixed up. Instead of mild, she ended up with medium spice. If you didn't know, Thai spice levels are extremely spicy. Consequently, as she was eating her food, she sounded like she was in pain. Because her food was so spicy, she had to chug ALL of her Thai tea. Once she had finished her tea she found a little black speck in her cup. Surely enough, it was a bug that had been frozen into one of the ice cubes. ...I feel like the universe was just out to get her at this point. We know one of the employees here and she actually told her boss about what happened so he offered a free Thai tea to replace my friend's, but since we got our food to-go it wasn't really worth it to return just for that. The quality seems to have gone down. I'm genuinely disappointed. Would give them 2.5 stars. read more

I've never been disappointed when ordering from Thai Top Ten. Very good service, friendly wait staff. And good food. I suggest coming in for lunch; they have specials on most entrees such as Pad Thai and Pad See Ew. Generous portions, but easy on the wallet. 4 stars! read more

If you're going to get Thai food for delivery near VCU's Monroe campus, this is the place to get it from. Tried Elephant Thai's food, particularly the beef drunken noodles, and you can just tell that they are cooked in slightly different ways. The beef drunken noodles from Thai Top Ten are much less greasier and they taste very good. Additionally, the delivery wait wasn't even that long. I know that there are a lot of Thai food places near VCU, but this place is definitely a place to stop by if you're craving it and don't want to go too far. read more

Thai Top Ten - Thai Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

The latest update on my continuing quest to find excellent Thai food landed me at Thai Top Ten. As I have said before, I am not 100% sure what good Thai food is supposed to taste like! It seems like each restaurant has a slightly different take on flavors, and some can be radically different. I guess you sort of base it on whatever your first experience was, and then assume that everyone else got it wrong. This Thai restaurant was spot on with the flavors that I expected. It is sort of a hole in the wall on Grace Street, but it seems like most Thai restaurants are, and the attitude of the wait staff is outstanding. The portions are enormous and even a large guy like myself ended up getting a box to take some home. Be careful with the spices, as they can jack it up pretty high if you're not careful. I am a big fan of the pad see ew, and this place did it just right. Pricing is about what you would expect, and a lunch special runs just under $10 with a drink. Again, the service was quick, the food was good, and the price was right. Parking can be a bit of a challenge in that area, but if you're just making a quick hit for lunch or carrying out, I would recommend it. Only thing I would criticize is they could stand a good cleaning! read more

This place checks off all the boxes when I'm looking for some thai food to satisfy the craving, but overall, nothing about the dining experience is out of this world. Came here on a late Wednesday night and the restaurant was pretty empty- parking was also easy to find on Grace St (no time limit or fee because it was after the specified time). The guy at the desk all the way in the back of the restaurant told us to sit wherever we liked, and he was able to get us menus and take our orders in a very timely fashion even though he appeared to be the only server there. I got the Lemon grass noodle soup with medium spice. The broth is pretty typical Tom yum type broth, and the noodles were one giant clump that was hard to separate. It definitely wasn't super memorable, but it hit the spot with the weather being so cold. Service was quick and efficient through our night, and I'd say prices are fair for serving sizes and so on. We did have to walk up to the counter on our own at the end to pay, they didn't give us a check or anything so maybe don't wait around for the server if you're done with your meal! read more

I heard this place was good so I decided to try it out. However I was greatly disappointed. Since they had a $15 minimum, I ordered pad thai with chicken (spice level: American Hot) and parang curry with chicken (spice level: medium). Pros: - Big portions Cons: - Delivery was very slow. It took a little over an hour. When I called in to ask about my food, the man who answered was pretty rude about it. Bad customer service. - I'm usually not that picking about food but the pad thai here was NOT GOOD. The noodles were dry. The sauce was nonexistent. The flavor was bland. - The flavor of the panang curry was better than that of pad thai's however it had a weird consistency. It was too watery for my taste. They also gave an ice cream scoop amount of rice with it. I think they put too much water into the rice because it was too mushy and sticky (kinda like mashed potatoes). - I think I got FOOD POISONING because my stomach has been acting up all night. Conclusion: Don't go here... It's not worth it. It's SLOW and BLAND. read more

Thai Top Ten - Pad thai with Chicken - Thai Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

If you are a college student on a budget and want some decent Thai food, Thai Top Ten is for you. It located in the heart of VCU and deliver almost to anywhere on campus. They also have dine in option as well. The interior is clean and no fuss. The price is decent and the portion you get is far more than any of the other Thai restaurants would give you. I usually ordered two dishes at a time to meet the minimum delivery amount and the food always last me 2-3 days. Your money will go a long way here. The food is Ok, not terrible, not great, just okay. Some are hit and miss. I'm not a fan of their Pad Thai or drunken noddle. I agree with other reviewers that they need to step up their seasonings. They taste very bland. However, I am a fan of their Pad See Ew and Fried Rice (both curry and pineapple). That in American Hot is my standard delivery order. They didn't miss the seasoning there. Overall, I would recommend Thai Top Ten as a food delivery option while on campus. read more

I like hot food. I can eat 3 chilli peppers with a glass of water. I regularly eat a whole raw jalapeno with pho. My current fave hot sauce is Melinda's XXX or Savina which are both haberno hot sauces and I use about tablespoon worth with appropriate food. Warning aside, their American hot is hotter than the above. Don't even dare try the Thai hot. They heat up things with some fresh minced pepper mix of I think habanero and chili pepper. I drank 3 glasses of water. The curry definitely isn't to par with the coconut milk breaking. How you break coconut milk is beyond me. Though the fried rice was very good, otherwise 3 stars.

DO NOT EAT HERE!!! Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else. We use to come here all the time but I will NEVER EVER COME BACK AND NEITHER SHOULD YOU!!! We ordered take out from here on 3/10/21 and I got the panaang curry and my boyfriend got the seafood fried rice with muscles. I had only three bites of my food when I came across a THICK BLACK CURLY HAIR!!! It was about the length on my index finger, and noticeably human. Immediately I was grossed out and couldn't finish my food, but my boyfriend said he would eat the rest. He also found multiple of the same hair in his food, and more in mines. In total, we found almost 10 pieces of hair in both of our meals. We called the restaurant and we were put through to the owner. He is the most pathetic miserable business owner I have ever come across. After we explained what we found in our meals, he said "haha very funny. There's no way hair can be found in both the meals, your lying and just want your money back" he then tried to provoke us over the phone but when we stayed calm he became more agitated and spouting racial slurs and saying we don't know what we're talking about and the hair most likely came from the muscles. But I only had chicken. And this was clearly human hair. The owner was non apologetic or sympathetic about the situation and he was looking for a fight. Over something that his restaurant staff caused. This restaurant is filthy with a cook who is obviously balding owned by a pathetic looser who doesn't care about his customers and tries to antagonize them when they have a complaint. I've never been talked to like that by someone who's in the food business. He was non apologetic whatscover and had no care being for what we were eating. If you're in the mood for Thai, go to crazy Thai. I've never had a problem with the food or there owner. This place needs to be called thai worst ten Oh, he said he would refund us but never did. He also never apologized for what we found in the food. read more
