    Pad Thai chicken
    Heather B.

    A fantastic meal! Adding this to the list of places we need to regularly visit. The menu is extensive but, not over whelming. A lot of great classic Thai dishes. The decor was very inviting. The hues of blue, and naturals with the Thai themed tables all really ties it together well. Very inviting. Panang Curry over broccoli was my favorite. The combination of broccoli, rice and sauce was perfect. It has a very soft heat to it. It did not disturb me at all. For my protein I opted for the chicken. That was a great combo. The crab rangoons were so creamy and flavorful. The house salad was fresh! We asked for both dressings, the peanut dressing and ginger dressing. The peanut dressing was my favorite but, the ginger was a close second. The peanut had a mild kick to it. We also ordered the fried rice, sweet n sour shrimp and pad Thai. They also scored high on our list. Our waitress worked very hard getting meals out, taking orders, seating people, keeping drinks filled and more. She was extremely polite and service with a smile through our whole visit. They seemed busy by the time we left around 6. They are tucked back next to a vacant grocery store. I'll definitely be passing their name around.

    This is my second time here. We ordered pick up this time instead of dining in. Fresh garden rolls: The fresh rolls were pretty good! Very veggie filled rather than any noodles but still good. 7/10 Crab wonton: they were standard. The way they're folded makes the middle more soggy though 7/10 Pad woon sen: I loved the balance of veggies, protein, and noodles! I expected potato starch noodles rather than bean thread but it was still pretty good 8/10 Duck curry: they do NOT skimp on the duck. The curry was good and the pineapple and tomato balance it out really good. It comes with rice too. 8/10 The food is good and i definitely want to try the roasted duck next time.

    Still one of my favorite Thai spots in Newport News! Dined here with a group of 8 and our service was great. The dining space is clean and plenty of tables for groups. Everyone enjoyed their dishes, and spice levels.

    The Pad Thai was served super hot and delicious. The service was excellent with well thought out recommendations.

    We came here in March 2024 and honestly it was a 3 star experience. But last night we got a takeout order and it was definitely 5 star food, so idk if it was off day last time or if they have a new chef. Restaurant/ambiance (4/5): Tbh, this location looks like an abandoned strip mall behind Hampton Inn when you first turn off the main road...but there ARE businesses here! And Tida Thai is one of them. It's a cute thai restaurant with wonderful ambiance and plenty of seating. When you first walk in a pretty sounding wind chime announces your arrival. They also have a bar in the back if you don't want to sit at a table. Tip: the bar is where you place walk-in takeout orders. Make sure to grab a paper menu to take home! LOTS of parking spots available! Service (5/5): Both times we were here the service was on-point. Friendly and prompt staff. Food (5/5): I'm basing the 5 stars solely on this past order. Everything was flavorful, spiced appropriately. Moreover, everything was piping hot even by the time we got home! We will definitely be back. In our order: thai tea, crispy spring rolls, masaman curry with chicken, jasmine rice, sticky rice (regular), shrimp pad thai.

    Favorite Thai restaurant. Best Thai restaurant in the area. Authentic Thai food. We come to here at least once a month. Highly recommended!

    Tida Thai is a very good Thai restaurant. We went to the location located in Newport News near Kiln Creek on a Sunday afternoon. The esthetics were ok. The dining area is half wall partitioned off from a bar area with the kitchen entrance behind, the the feel of the dining area seems a bit industrial. The food was very good. We had the chicken lettuce wrap, spring rolls, dumplings and the pork ginger stir fry, all pf which were very good. The soy flavor for the chicken lettuce wrap was a bit strong, but the dish overall was very good. The pork ginger stir fry was also very good. It had a good amount of ginger, as it should have which gave the dish great flavor. Temperature on the food was warm if not hot. Service was very attentive. Overall Tida Thai is a solid 4 leaning towards a 4.5. This restaurant is definitely a place we'll go back to for dine in. We've ordered carry out from this location before with mostly spring rolls and panang. The food is always hot and very flavorful for carry out as well.

    I enjoyed the meal and ambiance of this restaurant. The hot tea was soothing on the rainy night I came. The ice water had a strange aftertaste to me. We started with a variety of apps. The spring rolls with shrimp were fresh and delicious. The dipping sauce was delicious. The larb salad was prepared as medium spiced. I liked it but would much rather have it served with cabbage leaves or firm lettuce. Instead it was prepared like an actual salad with mixed greens. I would order it again but probably make it a little spicier. For my entree I had 4/5 spicy level tofu fried rice. It was a huge serving that was perfectly spiced. It was loaded with a lot of tofu that had a lot of flavor infused into it. I would highly recommend this dish. Overall the experience was good and I would definitely come back if I was in the area.

    The place is nice and clean, waitress was pleasant and helpful. The food was outstanding! The string beans were on a 4 spicy scale and were spicy but addictive in flavor, it was hard to stop eating, hands down! The food was served fast.

    I ordered the Sweet & Sour Stir-Fry (beef) and it was DELICIOUS!!! The sweet and sour sauce was excellent, not overpowering. The beef was tender and juicy. The vegetables were on point as well. Lastly, I like to mix mine with the jasmine rice, mmmmmm soooo good!!! Compliments to the chef!!!

    The food is fantastic and consistent. The restaurant is intimate and very clean I love the menu options. This is a great place to meet for lunch and enjoy a great Thai meal.

    This was perhaps my 3rd or 4th visit to Tida Thai over the years. I took my family after seeing a yummy looking dish on their facebook page. Tida Thai is so nicely appointed you could dress up for a special meal and feel just right. They have a good but not overwhelming lunch crowd. Our waitress was very attentive but not overly so. The dishes came out fairly quickly and each was decoratively plated. We were offered chop sticks which I appreciated. They do not have a children's menu so we ordered plain white rice for our toddler. I asked for a small fried rice but they were unable to accomodate that request. Perhaps that is why I do not recall seeing kids in there. The environment is very calming and conversation is possible without bothering or being bothered by others. Two of us enjoyed Thai tea which was served in a tall glass. There is a very diverse menu to please any palate. Gluten free, vegan, keto, it's all there. Tida Thai is a bit removed from the street so they may not get drive by traffic. Once you know they are there you will want to give them your business when you are looking for a nice asian influenced meal in a pleasant environment. Prices were average for places in Virginia that serve alcohol. Our dishes were each in the $13 to $15 range. I will be returning perhaps to try those stuffed chicken wings I saw pictured on facebook, but preferably without 'shrooms.

    I can't believe I live in the area and I've just discovered this place. Amazing food, great service and wonderful atmosphere. Will definitely be back soon! Authentic. The restaurant was nearly empty when we came in, but 30 min later it was quite full with a stream of folks coming in for dinner. A great sign of a great restaurant. The decor is very nice and the restaurant is organized well and has a separate bar that looked to seat a good number of people. My husband noticed the pretty good beer selection, and with pretty good prices. Neat drink specials and tea selection.

I got my order back and the boss man was asked if he had anything to say and I watch him shake his head, arms crossed seemingly displeased with either his shop or with me coming back in, I couldn't tell you which it was. two stars because they complied with a remake... but I don't want to come back ever after this initial experience with losing my appetite and feeling unwelcomed trying to hold the restaurant accountable for a sanitary issue...

During the…read morepandemic, they converted from a restaurant to strictly takeout which has served them very well. Recently, I have tried several dishes for the first time. Keep in mind, we've been going here for many years. It's never too late to try new things. Let's see how the recent visits turned out. As usual, we placed our orders online with no problems at all. For my most recent selections, I picked two combination plates (Mongolian Beef and Beef Szechuan Style). The staff already knew which orders I picked up when I entered inside. It's really cool when folks already know you given the many times you stop in. Definitely a great feeling when you get friendly vibes. As far as both orders go, they were good. They do overload a bit with veggies, but I can't really complain. Both were spicy but nothing that was overpowering. And they had enough fried rice in both plates. The egg rolls could be a little better but nonetheless I was satisfied with what I chose. Asian Grill will continue to be a go-to for online pickups. Till next time :)
