One of the complementary egg rolls, with my Holiday cookies!
Judith G.

I ordered take-out from Tong's Thai today, and was really impressed!! The restaurant itself was roomy and bright. It's a medium-sized restaurant: big enough for, say, a family of 6, but not big enough for a larger gathering. The hospitality is phenomenal, and started with my phone order. He was pleasant, took his time explaining the spice levels, and helped me feel comfortable with my choices. Once I arrive there, the waitress had my order ready, and had a relaxed chat with me throughout the process way above and beyond just getting our business conducted. The impression was a hands-on business that takes the time for each customer. The pineapple curry I ordered was authentic and tasty. The pineapple and the vegetables were all freshly cut, and the shrimp was very tender, plump, and delicious! I would warn about the spice level though. I ordered a level 2 (from 1 to 5), and it was a little too spicy for me, even though the dish was wonderful (at home I added some cream to modify the spice level, and enjoyed it all!) I also ordered the garlic pork, and found the pork to be extremely tender. This spice level was perfect, even though it was also a level 2, probably because it wasn't a curry. I love that they have the option of brown rice with both entrees, and they both come with complimentary egg rolls. I also absolutely needed to order the spicy salmon roll. And "spicy" it was -- Kroger's spicy mayo has nothing on the topping they used for this. And the salmon was sushi-fresh, and delicious. I also ordered the fried tofu, which was perfectly fried and beautifully presented, with a sauce I'm convinced was made in-house from scratch. They even included a holiday surprise in the bag -- a small sampling of holiday cookies, to finish off the meal. Everything was fresh, made in-house, authentic, and absolutely delicious!

This restaurant was recommended by one of my property managers. It was so good that I went twice in one week. The staff is extremely helpful and friendly. The restaurant is decorated with nice art work and currently tons of holiday items. The price point is perfect because you will definitely get more than one meal out of your order. Large portions! Both dishes had so much flavor. Be sure to ask for extra sauce that comes with the spring rolls. It's the perfect blend of sweet, spicy, and tangy! Best sauce I've ever tasted at a Thai restaurant! This place is a MUST visit!

Our dinner  and sushi  was fresh and so awesome it's a cute hidden gem.  I will definitely be back the service was really good

The sushi was simply amazing, the service was awesome, I will definitely be back. Everything was fresh and colorful. It's a nice hidden gem what an awesome find

Best sushi rolls around! Quick service and spacious eating areas. Definitely will continue for my sushi cravings!

Crab Rangoon
Adrienne C.

To be totally transparent, my dinner was ordered through DoorDash. I typically wouldn't do a first time review on a DoorDash order, but my gripes about the food are unrelated to how the food was obtained. After seeing Tong's pop up as a new option, I spotted the Crispy Pad Thai on the menu and knew I had to try it! Crispy Pad Thai is a staple of mine, with Bangkok Bistro having the best in the city. I ordered the chicken Crispy Pad Thai and an order of Crab Rangoon. First the Rangoon... they were strange to me. The use of one wonton wrapper and then presumably baking them, makes them feel very flimsy and fragile. There wasn't much substance at all for what works out to be about $1 a piece. They came with a strawberry sauce that tasted like strawberry sundae topping warmed up. It felt like a very lazy excuse for a dipping sauce. Next up was the Crispy Pad Thai... the dish looked delicious so I dug right in! My first thought was that the noodles were pretty dry. Typically there's a bit of sauce to them, but these were bone dry. A couple of bites in and I start to notice a very bitter taste. It hits me that my noodles were actually just burnt. I was so bummed out and I tried a few more bites, but the burnt flavor permeated throughout the whole bowl and I had to toss it. This place seems to get really good reviews, so I'm hoping this was just a bad night and that I'll have the opportunity to review this again with a much higher score.

Wanted to experience a new Thai restaurant and went away disappointed. I ordered a bento box that had vegetable Pad Thai and salmon roll. The salmon was that of frozen quality which tasted off-putting. The Pad Thai lacked in flavor that one would expect from Taiwanese cuisine. A friend of mine had bento box number seven. Again the teriyaki chicken did not meet the expectations in flavor and the rolls were mediocre. Basic Thai dishes that was rather underwhelming, not good.

Pork Lo Mein

Fresh food. Delicious. Home cooked. Service is great. Food gets out quick. Great menu and everything tastes great.

Came back again to try this place out and I still feel the same about it. Nothing really stood out…read moreand tasted a little bland. The duck was deep fried like a country fried steak. Steamed vegetables tasted like they were out of a bag. Lastly, the sauce barely tasted like tamarind. Was this worth $30? Absolutely not. Seared salmon was ok. The service was great.

Chris runs the place, and if kindness were a competitive sport his family would already have Olympic gold. Chris and his kids treat customers the way you wish every business in America still did..,,like you're a neighbor, not a transaction. You walk in hungry and leave feeling like you've been adopted. Now the food. The Thai dishes are the real deal, bright, balanced, and so good you start wondering if the chef has a secret tunnel to Bangkok. But the sushi? That's where things get suspicious. The fish is so fresh and high-quality it feels like the tuna signed a waiver before arriving. Their standards are higher than most politicians claim for themselves. The result: incredible Thai food, exemplary sushi, and a family running the place with genuine warmth. In a world full of chain restaurants that feel like airport terminals with menus, Chris and his crew built something rare, food that's excellent and people who are even better. Eat here once and you'll understand why regulars keep coming back. Eat here twice and you'll start wondering if you should just rent an apartment nearby. Cincinnati is lucky to have them. And frankly, so is anyone with a fork.

As always, it was beautiful and clean, with some striking decorations on the wall. And our waitresses were friendly and timely the whole evening. But it was the food that was a new revelation for me. A friend ordered balimaki, which I've never tried before, and it turned out to be a flavorful marinated meat on a skewer, dramatically presented. And I absolutely loved my entree -- the May-Thai shrimp in coconut sauce -- the flavors were complex, the veggies were freshly cut, & the spice level was perfect. In fact all the meals I tasted were made-from-scratch, authentic, and expertly made.

Wow okay, I think I found my go-to Thai restaurant finally! I haven't been to this establishment…read morephysically, but I recently ordered some food here through DoorDash and the food was amazing! I am a super basic person lol so I ordered my favorite, beef pad Thai. I've noticed that the pad Thai here in Ohio, the noodles tend to be cut shorter than what I'm used to in Southern California. I do wonder if it's kind of a Thai regional type of thing. Anyways I ordered their beef pad Thai and their noodles were actually long! Finally! I've been to four other Thai places and all their noodles were cut short. The beef pad tie here was really good, it had a really good smokey flavor - and it was quite saucy which I love. I will be definitely ordering this again. My husband had the chicken penang curry and he said that the Penang curry was actually very good. They gave a decent amount of protein, but he did wish that they had more veggies. It only had broccoli. He was kind of looking for a broccoli, bell pepper, onions, etc. I also ordered a side of beef fried rice for my little one and omg, their fried rice it's actually very good. I am a little bit snobby when it comes to fried rice and not all restaurants can make it really well, but this place definitely did! It had that fried taste that you look for in actual real fried rice. The beef was tender, the flavors were good, it was just good overall. Next time I think I'll probably come here physically versus ordering it because I bet the food is even better when it's not sitting for a while.. AKA delivery lol.

We were not offered compensation except for a free drink while while waiting. They were not busy. The food was not good. I had Pad See Yu and the noodles were mushy, it was ordered "hot" but had only mild spice level. The teriyaki vegetable dish was ridiculous; I had to make another dinner for that family member. The sauce was watery and not flavorful, and probably 70% of the "mixed" vegetables were large pieces of sliced carrot. The few pieces of broccoli had very long very hard stalks and small florets. This was also the case for the broccoli in my dish (see pic). We always eat our leftovers, but in this case no one wanted them. I did not return the food to the restaurant because we live 15-18 minutes away. It would have taken another half-hour at *minimum* meaning 8:30 or later for dinner, and everyone was already starving because it had taken so long. When I pay almost a HUNDRED dollars for 4 basic meals, one appetizer and a spring roll, I expect the food to be decent. It was not good AND it took exactly 52 minutes from the time I called it in. Previous orders of Ban Thai were fine-to-okay, but after this experience, I doubt we will be back.

They do not serve sushi and their drink menu is very limited. Food menu is also simple but have a lot to offer. Appetizers, salads, soups, mean entree and sides. You can pick your spice level from 1-5. 5 being the hottest. I made reservations on a Thursday night and invited some of our friends to join us. The restaurant has been there for a very long time and you can tell their clientele is well established. The inside is small but plenty room for dining.
