Finally we were able to dine in and we were not disappointed! Vibe on a Friday for dinner was on point and I loved that the place came alive with customers because that's a solid indication of how good it is, given the tucked away spot. Service was quick and polite, and we loved that there was more than enough options for everyone at our table, including our kiddo. What really stands out, beyond presentation, is the amazing flavor and freshness quality of the food. And of course you'll probably have leftovers! Absolute gem and we will 100% be back! read more

This Thai house is one of several Tida kitchens in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia. On a Tuesday evening, it was not crowded, and we were one of the only three occupied tables at 6 p.m. We sat at a booth along the front windowed wall. Our table was printed with a scenic painting of a Thai woman paddling a small boat. Nice touch. Surprised that all the servers were non-Asian women, which would have added to the cultural accuracy of the business. Regardless, ours was friendly and efficient and took good care of us. We ordered Tom Kha Soup, Fried Calamari as appetizers, and Drunken Noodles (#3 spice level) with vegetables and Ginger Stir Fry with Shrimp (#2 spice level) as our entrees. The coconut milk based soup which is normally on the sweeter side, also contained lemongrass which sparked a heated response. Different, but not beyond the pale. The Calamari was a mixed bag, with several of the rings tough, rubbery and lacking freshness. The dipping sauce was good. Our mains were both much better. The Drunken was loaded with carrot, green, yellow and red pepper, tomato, celery, spring onion, yellow onion, and sprouts. The sauce was just hot enough to make my nose run and very delicious. The Ginger Stir Fry was loaded with plump shrimp, Thai basil, onion and some other colorful veggies. My sister loved it. Aside from the slip with the squid, this was a satisfying tasty Thai dinner, with good service in a pleasant ambient room. Four Phuket Stars. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

I traveled in for work and I was looking for something healthy and tasty when I found this place on Yelp. I don't think think I've had Thai food this good since I lived in the Pacific NW. family-owned, this is a true gem with both authentic and Americanized Thai. The ambiance is very nice and it's both casual and classy enough to bring a date. The prices are reasonable and the portions are generous. I ordered the spring rolls, which were very crispy and fried yet not greasy. The sauce to dip them in was homemade. The Panang Curry was amazing! The tender meat, the fresh vegetables and the peanut, this dish was phenomenal! The two stars spicy provided a nice kick without being too hot for my taste. I had the tiramisu of all things for dessert and wow! Excellent too. Wonderful service, nice atmosphere, fantastic food! What more could you want? read more

Nice place for a date night, but not the best Thai food in area. If you want real and good Thai food try the Thai place on Hampton highway (route 134) near the air force housing and food lion. read more

Tida Thai - Wine with panang! - Thai Near Me - Newport News, Virginia

It's been quite some time since I've reviewed Tida Thai. I had the opportunity to dine with some business colleagues over the past two weeks, and on two occasions, our guests selected this restaurant. From my first visit several years ago, they have quite improved! The bar menu is now much more intricate, the service was fantastic, and the food was excellent. They have added a rewards program that generates coupons and free gifts for you if you join with your email address/phone number. On both visits, I ordered the chicken pad thai. On the first visit, I didn't get any spice level and it was far too bland. On the second, I ordered a 1 level and it was perfect for me. Also sampled the spring rolls, the crab wontons, and the drunken noodles. All quite tasty. And a bonus for us -- it's open on Monday. In fact, my last visit was so tasty, I had my hubby run out to get some more to-go after a very long day at the office. After bouncing back and forth between multiple Thai places in Newport News, I think this one is going to be our go-to. read more

Tida Thai - Chicken pad thai - on point! - Thai Near Me - Newport News, Virginia

The wait was really long, like i'm talking 40+ minutes and the reason for this was the prioritization of takeout and doordash orders. I think that the people eating in should be prioritized because they took the time to come in and they are the ones being directly dealt with. The food was fine I guess. ALSO no yellow curry, what's up with that? read more

We had dinner there last night (12/19/24). It was very good. The food is spicy, but was asked for it to be. We LOVE a spicy meal. The young lady who waited on us was also great. She was friendly, attentive and a killer smile. We will come back. read more

My food was good and the service was good but there were only two servers when they maxed out for indoor dining so things were a little slow but not terribly bad.

Tida Thai - Pad See Ew - Thai Near Me - Newport News, Virginia

We tend to come often when we have a hankering for Thai. It is close to the house and has good flavors. The heat is good, but the medium is not very hot if you like spicy food. But I know a lot of people that are happy with that. I personally would like a little more spice, but the flavors are amazing and I can always ask for a little more spice. We started with one of my favorites, spicy beef salad, delicious . We ordered basil fried rice, which is my husband's comfort food and he loves it from here. Massaman curry, which is potatoes and peanuts, one of my go to's and my mom got the special (pumpkin curry). We like to do family night on Wednesdays and we rotate who picks, so this was my husbands pick and we had a round of cocktails and dinner! Always a fun time. read more

I really wanted to like it. But it was not good. SUPER salty. That was the only flavor I could taste in anything. Just salt. No garlic, no chile, no FLAVOR, etc. Sauces are not at all compatible to what I've had at some of the best Thai/Asian restaurants in the Pacific Northwest. I will now go drink 50ml of water. :( read more

Overall: 4 out of 5 Food: 4 out of 5 Delicious! The Beef Salad is delicious! The Pad Se Ew was delicious (got it with fried Tofu) Also, the spring rolls were good-- but I was mainly eating the noodles! For dessert we got the mango with sticky rice, it was good, I wished they used the Manila mango because it gives a different flavor, but still good! Ordered the tea flight and it was good, recommend for 2 people to share or if you are just really thirsty. Please see the break down: Thai tea- 5 out of 5 just delicious and classic. A solid Thai tea Green Thai tea- 3 out of 5 It is good if you like floral flavors. It tasted of chrysanthemum and jasmine, but like concentrated so it was reallllly floral. Still good, but I could only drink a little Blue Thai tea- 3 out of 5 It was good, it was the butterfly pea tea with the dairy from the Thai tea. Tasted more coconut-y flavor. It was good, but same thing as the green Thai tea, i could only handle a little bit. Butterfly Pea Tea Refresher-5 out of 5 I really liked this one. It comes out blue and they give you lime juice to pour in and then it turns purple! I found this refreshing and a good alternative if I wanted to avoid dairy Service: 5 out of 5 The waiter we had was really nice and patient! He would check on us quite often and was really friendly, I am glad he was too because service can really make or break your dining experience! Value: 4 out of 5 Great for meat eaters and vegetarians alike. Lots of menu options. Sanitation and safety (COVID): 4 out of 5 It was clean, I just would have liked if I saw some disinfecting procedure. But again, maybe they do but I only observed the normal cleaning with a wet rag. Still was clean and smelled fresh in the restaurant Parking: 5 out of 5 Private lot, you can park anywhere Overall: 4 out of 5 This place was really great. I totally would recommend this to anyone willing to try new things! Very authentic and flavorful. It was great read more

I'm a HUGE Thai fan. My ex mother-in-law is Thai and I'm used to her cooking and how fantastically mouthwatering this food really is. This place reminds me of her home cooking and THAT is why I gave this place 5 stars. Because when a place can make you feel like you're getting home cooked Thai and not Americanized Thai, you've hit the jackpot Ambiance: quiet, casual, intimate Service: excellent, friendly, attentive Seating: indoor, good for large groups Food: excellent, flavorful, as spicy as you want it! I ordered the papaya salad for a starter and the spicy beef kapow loaded with lots of veggies, basil ginger, and love my husband ordered the red curry with chicken, and it was by far my favorite dish of the two entrees. If you have the time and the love for a good Thai restaurant please come and give this place a try. You won't regret it!!! read more

Tida Thai - Dining room - Thai Near Me - Newport News, Virginia

It's been a few years since I've been here. I got the larb gai then and now. The last time it was out of this world and the portion was large. This time it was mediocre, small portioned and way too much lettuce. Today I also got tom yum soup. It was one dimensional as it didn't have tomatoes or lemongrass. Service was slow as the place was empty. Pretty much all it has going for it is fancy. After dropping 30 bucks here I somehow feel violated. Ha! It has yet turned into another mediocre peninsula thai place. I'm sick of those! Will not be returning. read more
