This is an ok Thai restaurant in the 757 area. I had some fried rice and pad kra pow. The latter I didn't care for too much because I found it too watery and full of peppers. The rice dish was ok. The service was mostly attentive although I found it slow. I wouldn't mind returning but only if a friend wants to go. Parking plenty outside for free. read more

New to Virginia Beach and was recommended Tida Thai in Norfolk for authentic cuisine BUT didn't realize this location is across the street from me! Ended up here on a weeknight and not crowded at all. Was greeted and seated right away, and menus were brought out along with waters. Ordered my usual Shrimp Pad Thai and Shrimp/Chicken Fried Rice and it did not disappoint! Although I wasn't given a choice for a spice level, I was recommended a few different sauces to try which complemented the Pad Thai very nicely. Have been back twice already for the Shrimp Fried Rice. Definitely will be a restaurant in rotation! read more

Small joint. Typical vibe. Server is awesome and very nice and good at managing the entire front by himself. First the appetizers. The fresh garden rolls were great. Fresh is the perfect word. The sauce a little less peanut forward and tasty. Very nice and packed with produce. The wonton soup flavorful and they didn't skimp I ordered the prik king with pork at a 3 spice level. I like the spice but 3 was almost too hot. The flavor was crazy developed and delicious. My wife preferred the pad Thai with chicken. Very good flavor and she got it at a level 2. Still pretty warm. The pad that was tender and flavor balanced Great little hole in the wall with great service. read more

I've been coming to Tida Thai for some time now and just realized that I've never done a review. Today I didn't want a whole meal, so I ordered the chicken lettuce wraps. Turns out that appetizer is big enough for a meal, well big enough for me. The flavor was great, presentation was beautiful and the portion was right. My only issue with this dish is that it was a bit salty for me. Don't get me wrong. All of the many other dishes I have tried at Tida Thai were perfect. Their customer service is wonderful as well. The staff is friendly and will help you select a new dish to try. I brought my leftovers home. Will probably just pair it with some steamed rice. Thank you Tida Thai read more

I was in Virginia Beach for a church service with my family and after service we ordered delivery from here. Now you never know with takeout but I was pleasantly surprised! Usually brown rice doesn't indicate good. It should be more red. This was one of the best Thai restaurants I tried. Everyone loved the food. I definitely have to eat in when I come back. read more

I'd get them both again. read more

Thai is one of my "Goto Spots" for comfort food, so I was hoping Tida Thai would not disappoint in my quest for the flavorful numbing of my worries and thoughts. I started off with their Crab Rangoon, and what a surprise to have actual morsels of crab in the perfect fried pastry!!!! Ok now Tida, I'm feeling the comfort, let's see how you console me with your Combination Pad Thai. And boy did that dish haul off and give my stomach a big Ole bear hug from the inside!!! Generous portions of meat, noddles just right and they gave me just the right portion of peanuts!!! The dish itself you could share at the table if that greedy selfish spirit doesn't kick in, or you can take home the leftovers because it did re-heat very well!!!! The menu was fairly priced, the service was excellent and the restaurant although small was very inviting. Neatly tucked in a strip mall off of The Blvd directly across the street from The Cheesecake Factory and PF Changs. Stop in and make sure you treat yourself to the Crab Rangoons, I'd drive there just for those alone!!!! read more

Tida Thai offers wonderful hospitality and delicious food. We were visiting Virginia Beach and saw this Thai restaurant located near our hotel in the Virginia Beach Town Center. We stopped by to place an order for take out as they were about to close. This quaint restaurant was dimly lit, creating an intimate ambiance. We ordered Beef Pad See Ew and Combination Fried Rice. I thought the fried rice was good. The pad see ew, however, was just okay. The flat noodles were a little overcooked for my preference and the taste was slightly sweeter than I expected. I did appreciate them being open, as we were really craving some Thai food. The lady who helped us was very nice, as was an older woman (maybe the owner's mother?) who greeted us with her warm smile. read more

I moved here from California, been here for 5 months and haven't had any good food yet! Every restaurant has been a disappointment thus far. That changed tonight with Tida Thai. The food was EXCELLENT and the spice levels...chef's kiss!! I'm Hispanic, so I LOVE spicy and when I order spicy, I usually have to add more spice. This was not the case with Tida Thai, I got level 4 and 5 and was pleasantly surprised!! Incredible food and super spicy. I loved every bite. Oh, and don't get me started on those coconut cookies, they were so addictive. Will absolutely come back for more. read more

Service was amazing! I was immediately greeted and seated. Food was also great! Came out super quick and food was fresh! Favorite was probably the fried calamari, it didn't just fall apart like what i was used too. Everything was so flavorful and would definitely come back! read more

I'm been ordering takeout for years here. I usually get Hawaiian Fried Rice it's usually very tasty. I've had this dish at least a couple dozen times. Last order there was not good at all , not sure what happened , rice was very dry clumped up, normal curry seasoning was non existent. Was not edible. Threw in trash. Waste money. They've lost a loyal customer. Moral of this story is you can get customers but can you retain them . Consistency is key. If I don't complain it's not in there best interest as can't make adjustments. Went hungry that night... read more

Tida is the closest Thai place to our house, so we've been itching to try it since we moved to the area. We ordered online, which is a smooth process and were given a 20 minute wait time. We got there right around the specified time and our order was ready to go. Very convenient. Customer service was friendly and efficient when we picked up, as well. Although we didn't eat there, I walked in for pickup and the atmosphere was clean and welcoming. Let's talk food. Pricing is comparable to other places, but maybe just a bit high for what you get. We tried 3 appetizers: the wrapped Shrimp, the crab wontons and the calamari. The crab wontons are the only one of the 3 that I would order again. Calamari was chewy, overcooked and oily. We had high hopes for it, since many other reviews mention it being fantastic, but it sadly was not. The shrimp was also oily and had an oil flavor that overpowered the delicacy of shrimp. We also found that the dipping sauce they serve with all 3 appetizers simply wasn't very good. On a positive note, the crab wontons were pretty good. We also got one entree to share; the Pad See Ew, which is always a favorite of mine. Flavor was great, but the noodles were very over cooked and mushy... to the point that they were all stuck together in clumps. There weren't any bites that offered a complete noodle. Food didn't hit the mark this night, but since service, convenience and atmosphere were all positive, I would potentially give them another try, especially since others state that they are great. read more

My friends from out of town were craving Thai, so we wanted to take them to a nice place! We were a big group of 8, and Tida Thai did a great job accommodating us! The server was super nice and receptive. We had our meal family style, and it was easy to get extra plates to do that. Service was really awesome honestly! The place has a nice ambiance and is tucked away in the corner of this shopping strip. The yellow hues are beautiful. We were a bit loud, but normally it is fairly quiet. Sorry!! A great place for a date. :) The food was great! It came out pretty fast which was surprising because we ordered a bunch. I first got the blue Thai tea, and I love the sweet pea taste. A great twist of the OG Thai tea. The Satay and the sampler were delicious. We were already starting to get full from the apps. I'm a big appetizer fan myself, and these apps were super satisfying. I love the sauces that come with everything, that's what really makes it!! All the food was super flavorful and packed a punch. You can tell they used a lot of herbs and spices to make it so good. We got beef krapow, pad Thai, pad see ew, drunken noodle, crabmeat fried rice, and the eggplant stir fry. The only reason why I give them a 4 is because the pad see ew and drunken noodles were a bit too soft. I wish they were firmer. I would love to go again and try the food at a spicier level. My friends don't prefer spicy, so we tried to keep it mild for them. read more

It was our first time back to this location in years and it did not disappoint! We had a late dinner and quickly seated and attended to. The waitstaff was excellent and courteous not hovering while we reviewed the menu or ate. I ordered the Tom Yum soup with shrimp and my husband the chicken satay. The soup was very flavorful and the satay was great. I loved the Beef Siam! Such good flavor! I also "tasted" my husband's Pa Ram Long Song and it was amazing. Can't wait to come back! read more

I haven't had Thai food in YEARS but this place hooked it up!!! Absolutely fantastic appetizers and completely delicious and tender and fresh. I could eat ten pounds of that crispy fried tofu I found my new favorite dish, the spicy basil fried rice my friends ordered curry and they were very good too! And the papaya salad was fresh and crunchy, but it is pretty spicy 4.8 stars only due to the bar being out of several drinks on the menu and the music was very weird But 10/10 would go again! Going now! Getting in my car for some of that fried rice!! read more

One Sat I was in the mood for some Pad Thai. After searching Yelp I found there was a place really close to me so I headed there. I never would have seen this place as much as I travel to that area. It's tucked in a little strip mall behind Michael's and Panera Bread. It's a cute and very clean establishment. I was greeted as soon as I walked in. The lady at the bar handed me and menu and I ordered Pad Thai with shrimp. My order came up fairly fast. There were about 3 tables dining in as well. The Pad Thai was delicious. The only reason I took off a star is because the portion size is smaller than other places and the price was a little steep. We're in Town Center so I have to expect that. Other than that the happy hour menu looks pretty do good so I think I'll try that next! read more

Tida Thai is a local Thai restaurant franchise with three locations currently listed on their website. Its name translates as "Daughter Of Thailand." The two other locations are in the Red Mill Commons Shopping Center in Virginia Beach and at Kiln Creek in Newport News. Another one in downtown Norfolk operates independently from the others. It was the former Rama Garden, which was taken over and renamed as Tida Thai Cuisine last year by the son of the original owner and founder of the Tida Thai franchise. The first and original location opened in Chesapeake in 2003, which is no longer there. If I heard my server correctly, this one is its second location and opened in 2009. This location is stationed in the Pembroke East Shoppes, a strip mall that is also home to Judy's Sichuan Cuisine only a few steps away. Colorful lights greet the eyes as you enter with a small bar at the very end of the main dining room. There is a second dining room with more subdued lighting to the right. Lunch time diners are given the lunch menu during the weekdays, which is separate from their dinner menu. Their dinner menu is given to diners all day on Saturdays and Sundays. I have tried the following to date: TOM KHA WITH CHICKEN: Chicken with a Creamy Coconut Milk Broth, Hot and Sour Lemongrass, Mushrooms, and Cilantro. Galangal, an important ingredient for this soup, was not listed. I found the mushrooms overwhelming in proportion to the chicken and other ingredients. It was served at a Thai hot spice level to my satisfaction, and its overall taste was still passable. My Rating: 3 Stars. THAI STEAMED DUMPLINGS: Six Dumplings with Ground Shrimp, Chicken, Mushrooms, and Water Chestnuts served with a Sweet Soy Sauce. The dumplings were beautifully presented on a banana leaf atop a tree trunk platform. Their textures were tender and melted in my mouth. The flavors of their fillings came through beautifully. The sweetness of the soy dipping sauce was nicely subdued. This was a winner. My Rating: 5 Stars. BLUE THAI TEA: This was a new one to me. It sparkled with a beautiful blue hue and delivered a cool refreshing taste with a level of sweetness that was just right. Its blue color comes from Butterfly Pea Flowers, a plant that is native to Asia and known for its healthy antioxidant properties. My Rating: 5 Stars. DRUNKEN NOODLES: Flat Wide Rice Noodles with Onions, Scallions, Bell Peppers, Fresh Basil, Chili, and Garlic. The Thai name of this dish is Pad Kee Mao. Its Thai hot spice level was satisfactory. Some of the noodles were overcooked and delivered an oily aftertaste with a preparation I found to be overly sauced. I would have also liked a greater dominance of basil with fewer bell peppers. Otherwise, I found it passable for an Americanized version. My Rating: 3 Stars. PAD THAI WITH CHICKEN: Rice Noodles with Chicken, Bean Sprouts, Scallions, Egg, and Crushed Peanuts in a Sweet and Tangy Tamarind Sauce. The noodles were cooked satisfactorily. Overall, I found this to be a typical Americanized version of this classic Thai dish. There were no preserved radishes or salty dried shrimp for a more authentic version. The tamarind sauce delivered a syrupy texture and overly sweet flavor that should have leaned more toward the sour side. I was able to balance the flavors a bit more from their spice tray. My Rating: 3 Stars. KAPAO SPECIAL WITH EGG: Minced Chicken, Bell Peppers, Basil, Chili, and Garlic served with Jasmine Rice. Topped with a Fried Egg. This is how this dish is served in Thailand, and I was glad to see it offered here. I have ordered it twice so far--once from their lunch menu and once from their dinner menu. The lunch version was the more satisfactory version. Basil is the dominant flavor in this dish, and it came through nicely. I would have liked to have seen a few less bell peppers. My Rating: 4 Stars. The dinner menu version actually came with a smaller portion and a higher price tag. Its basil flavor was not as nearly as dominant, which was a disappointment. My Rating: 2 Stars. MANGO & STICKY RICE DESSERT: Their version of this classic Thai dessert was beautifully presented on a banana leaf. The mango was sweet and tender. Underneath was a layer of coconut milk and a beautiful mound of warm purple sticky rice that was profoundly delicious. Thai Purple Rice is also known as Riceberry Rice, a hybrid of two varieties of Jasmine Rice that was developed in Thailand by the Rice Science Institute at Kasetsart University in 2002. This might be the best version of this dessert I have ever tasted. My Rating: 5-Plus Stars. When I crunch the food numbers, they average out to 3.75 stars, which is enough to round up to a soft 4-star rating. Service was friendly in spite of being understaffed. I would gladly make a return visit for their Blue Thai Tea, Steamed Dumplings, Mango Sticky Rice Dessert, and another dish I have yet to try, such as their Salmon Kapao or Duck Curry. read more

I haven't been here in a long time. I went with some old work friends and we had a decent experience. Service was a little slow, but was otherwise adequate. We got there at 7pm and it was a little busy at peak dinner time but not packed. They were out of one flavor of the refreshers, which are these tall glasses of tea, home made lemonade, and various flavors. I got the thai tea one and it was really nice to have the thai tea flavors without the dairy. It was still pretty sweet but a good price at $5.75 and I was just finishing that tall glass by time I finished my meal. The appetizer dumplings were awesome! They came out on a little log plate and a palm leaf. Even though they looked like shumai, the sauce/dip was way better. They were stuffed full of chicken and shrimp paste. They really benefit from the sauce so I say cut them in half and drizzle that stuff! My one friend ordered her stand by, she enjoyed it. Another friend got Thai sweet and sour chicken and ate most of it, he was our beginner. Last friend had drunken noodles veggie, she liked it! Big portion with lots of vegetables, but she wasn't asked for spice level and it came out with a bit of kick. I got a curry here some time ago and ordered it medium, and it was hella spicy. The spice levels here are no joke. I was going to get a curry but ended up with a "safe" dish, the ginger. I ordered ginger chicken and it was mostly just chicken and white onions with lots of sauce. It was good, but not $16 worth of chicken and ginger gravy. Next time I need to do vegetables and a meat or choose something else. The brown rice is a $2 up charge and that's a little steep for just different steam rice. Makes sense if it were a fried rice up charge. The bathrooms are at the back and appear to wrap around the kitchen. The stuffy hallway and odd stalls really show the age of the building but were perfectly clean. 1 stall (room) each for men and ladies. Ultimately, my visit was fine here. The dumplings were pretty good but nothing else jumped out at me as some Thai dish or experience I want to come back here for. read more

I have ordered. Tida Thai quite a few times, when deliver used to be available, but this is my first time eating in the actual restaurant. All I can really say about this place is... Wow! This place sets the bar when it comes to service, decor, and food. This used to be my favorite Asian delivery, but now I can say that it is one of my favorite dine in options as well! The menu is well thought-out and not too large; you would be hard-pressed to not be able to find a dish that suits your taste. I've had a multitude of menu choices and have yet to be disappointed. What really surprised me is how well the entire experience works together to create such an enjoyable eating experience. Pro tip, plan out your dining time strategically because this place gets busy at lunch. read more

It's been year since I've been back here. I typically come here for their huge glass of thai iced tea. Located right next to Judys Sichuan and Body Chateau, on the corner of the Pembroke East Shoppes center. It is across from the plaza of Pembroke mall. Tida Thai has grown having theee restaurants in the Hampton Roads area. Our thai server was so sweet and respectful with our big group. She was patient and accommodating to seat our group of 8. They gave us a room that was more secluded especially for us. I highly recommend the calamari, the tofu and eggplant, pad thai, tom kha and their curries. From what I've tasted on previous occasions. The calamari was my favorite! It is full of flavor and paired with some sweet tamarind dipping sauce. The spring roll we had was vegetarian and crispy.. it's definitely not a lumpia but still good. It was my first time tasting their papaya salad and it was light as refreshing, with a nice crunch of raw green papaya and carrots and basil with a fish sauce chili dressing. The masman curry is subtle and best for those who don't like spicy. But for spice we ordered the crab fried rice.. It was extra spicy for a level two, the more you continue to eat it. The eggplant and tofu was perfect in flavor with a medium/hot level spice. We had no complainers except for some who were not used to the spicyness of the crab fried rice and our pad see eew noodles were slightly over cooked. The time we spent waiting was reasonable and cleanliness was on point. Come at lunch time and weekdays to get the food prices but for dinner you are paying for the price of family style eating which is big and meant to be shared. read more

Yummmmmmmmmmmm! I love Thai food so I make it a point to find the best restaurants where ever I am....and Tida Thai gets 5 stars out of me. This location is a pretty good hidden gem in town center. The service was great even with ONE person doing it all (besides the cook). I mean she really did her thing ! Made the drinks , took orders, etc. They have happy hour 5-7 M-F and their lychee martini is top 2 and not number 2! ($9 and $7 on HH) I had the veggie drunken noodles which to my surprise was very flavorful and full of veggies! The crabmeat fried rice was yummy and had a kick. This place is small and never packed so perfect for eating out during these times. They are def keeping up with Covid Guidelines because about only 1/4 of the place was open for business. I'll be back for sure ! read more

I do recommend this restaurant and it is authentic Thai food. read more
