Pad Thai Shrimp
David E.

I'll admit I was a little turned around trying to find this place at first. But after a quick check of where others had been, I realized I was right on track. Walking inside felt like stepping into a Magic 8 Ball, once you're in, you've got options everywhere. It's essentially a mini indoor market with multiple food spots, plenty of seating scattered throughout, and even some solid outdoor seating if the weather cooperates. I came in with one mission: Thai food. No distractions. I made a beeline straight to 26 Thai Kitchen and placed my order solo at one of their convenient digital kiosks, quick, simple, and no waiting in line. For lunch, I went with the Pad Thai Shrimp, loaded up with onions, broccoli, peanuts, and sprouts, and cranked the heat up to Thai hot. No regrets. The food came out fast, five minutes maybe less, and it was piping hot, steam rolling off every bite. The dish delivered, good flavor, solid heat, and exactly what I was hoping for. Now, one thing worth mentioning, it's a bit on the pricey side for what you're getting, especially in a setup like this. And I'll be honest, being prompted for a tip felt a little out of place. When you're ordering from a digital kiosk and picking up your own food, it's hard to see where that extra charge fits in. For me, tipping makes sense when there's actual table service involved. Overall, the venue itself is a pretty cool concept with a lot of variety under one roof, but if you're locked in on Thai like I was, 26 Thai Kitchen is still worth a stop for a dish or two, just go in knowing what to expect.

This is one of my favorite places! The service, the ambiance, and the food are all A plus. Its easy to make a reservation and when I arrived I was seated immediately. Please do yourself a favor and get the sampler appetizer, you will not regret. I literally closed my eyes once I took a bite out of the dumplings. For my entree, I had the chicken and shrimp fried rice and it was absolutely amazing. Also, the drinks are great as well. Just go and thank me later!

Part of the multi Asian food places in a spot down at the battery across from Jenny's ice cream. The inside has 4 or 5 places to get food and a big bar to get adult drinks. They have a common area for all to eat and drink at and there are a lot of TVs for sports. I brought my kids here after playing at the sandbox virtual reality place. My son got some pad Thai here and said it was excellent! It was a big portion and he ate it all. Again the service was nice, the food came out quickly, and it was all good! This is a pretty nice spot in here where you can get several different things and enjoy watching a game or two!

Drunken Noodle **
Brittany M.

Deliciously good Thai food right in the battery. I had the drunken noodles (Thai spicy of course) and they were very flavorful. My partner loved the chicken basil. It's located in the Ph'east food court alongside a bar and a few other Asian food spots. I look forward to returning.

Chicken fried Rice with egg
Amber D.

The location is great (unless a game is occurring, and then you can't get to it for pickup for love or money). The staff were friendly and understanding when we called to let them know we were going to be late picking up our order due to not realizing they would shut down so many roads on game day?! Ah! The eatery itself was clean and inviting. The prices were not great, but the portion sizes were. They forgot our drinks, but we called in to let them know, and they said they refunded me...so hoping they did?! lol! All in all, I was pleased...but it was a rocky start! My son went in for pickup since I had to park two blocks away, and he said the pickup was smooth and easy upon entering the eatery. So, all in all it wasn't a bad first try!

Massaman curry
Vanessa N.

This is not a standalone sit down restaurant, instead it is part of a food court. Thus, the menu is abbreviated compared with the other locations. The curry was consistent with the other locations, but the drunken noodle was a bit underwhelming. Stick to the curries!

Roti curry (Penang)

I've been a regular customer of Thai 26 for a while, but on November 1, 2025, I decided to visit their location at The Battery for the first time in a while. When I arrived, I noticed they now have a self-service kiosk for ordering. Two employees were standing behind the counter but didn't greet or acknowledge me. I proceeded to place a to-go order through the kiosk (Panang Roti Curry, Pad Thai, and House Fried Shrimp- see photo) and found a seat in the food hall. PoWhen I received a text notification that my order was ready, I went to pick it up. Upon checking my bag, I noticed that the container of Panang Curry was barely filled--maybe a quarter full at most (see photo). I went back to the counter to show the employees, but they were gaslighting me saying they didn't seem to understand what I was saying. I explained that I've ordered this dish many times, both dine-in and to-go, and it's never been served with so little curry. Instead of acknowledging the issue, they insisted that "that's how it comes." To show how little curry there actually was, I poured the contents into two small sauce containers--one filled up, and the other barely covered the bottom (see photo). A cook came out from the back and offered to bring more curry, which he did, but it was still only about half a container. Overall, I was very disappointed with the experience. Thai 26 used to be one of my favorite restaurants, but the service and quality this time were not what I've come to expect.

Drunken noodles.
Dan M.

Friend was in town staying at the battery so we stopped in for a quick bite. Liked the whole vibe of the place, pleasant people, decent seating and clean bathrooms. I grabbed the drunken noodles with tofu, hot. Generally get Thai hot but you never know at a new place. Spice level was good, would probably go with Thai hot if I stop in again. The noodles had a decent flavor and were served with some cold slices of cucumber which was a nice touch. The dish was overall tasty but was oily and the noodles were in a big, almost inseparable clump. Food overall was average. Wife picked up a pokey bowl at a different stall and that looked super tasty.

Spring rolls
Rolondo B.

3.5/5 stars. This review is for the smaller food stall at the Battery that is separate from the stand alone full sized restaurants of the same name throughout Atlanta. I'll start with the location. Great location at the Battery inside an Asian inspired food hall. Fun neon lights with a dark vibe and live music set a city tone. Plenty of seating at communal style tables as well as some high tops with a bar in the middle. There are several food stalls to choose from outside of this one so it just depends on what type of food you are wanting. There is Chinese, Japanese , Thai , a dedicated boba spot and a dedicated sushi burrito stall. When you first walk up to the 26 Thai stall if you don't already know what to do it can be a bit confusing. There was literally a girl behind the counter looking at me as I was trying to order. It wasn't until I saw someone else walk up and order on the automated register that I realized it was all self ordering. A simple gesture towards the ordering panel would have been welcome by the staff that was present there. I ordered the tamarind saute chicken dish with fried rice , an order of spring rolls and Thai iced tea. The items took quite a bit of time to come out. The person I was with ordered food from a Chinese stall and not only did he get his food way before me but he had mostly finished his food before I ever got mine. They text you when the order is ready. The first thing you notice is the fried rice is in a paper fry box which was a bit off putting. The rice was overcooked and mushy but had good flavor. The chicken dish itself was very crispy but had almost none of the tamarind sauce so I had to go to the counter and ask for sauce to put on the dish. The veggies were fine. The Thai tea was nice and sweet with that distinct finish. I would say comparing this one to the stand alone restaurant in midtown is quite different. The food is much fresher and well prepared at the main restaurant while here it's made to accommodate a food stall crowd. I very much understand the concept I just hope in the future they are able to speed up the service and raise the quality of the food to the level of their main restaurants. I would come here again to try some of the other stalls and I would even come back to 26 Thai to try some of their other options.

Came here late at night because it was the only thing open at 10:30 PM! There's a good variety of things for five different "fast food "offerings. Food is OK it tasted great at the time because I was starving! But I've had worse! Spring rolls were great coconut soup was tasty not much meat, chicken in the soup dumplings were a little strange I'm used to dumplings that are covered not open. Overall not a bad place if you're desperate for a decent meal late at night! I didn't like the fact that they didn't enforce wearing mass even if you were not eating!

Came here while trying the new food hall at The Battery. I ordered the Chicken Curry. It was good and the portion was perfect. I wasn't overly full but I was satisfied. I would go back.

Amazing!!! This hall is super cute with several options, came here for the first time tonight with my little one. Perfectly located amongst other shops, live music going, bar within, went with crab Rangoon rolls, spring rolls and chicken wings. Lorddddddd....best rolls I've have ever! Wings cooked to perfection. The others in my party also really enjoy their food. Issa yes for me:) thank you for your service!!!

The parking was easy - paid street parking right outside. Everyone was super nice. I haven't had a lot of Thai food & the cashier was super kind to explain the items to me, and not make me feel dumb! lol. The vibe was great, I sat at the bar and was able to watch some other game highlights. Then the food was delicious. I got the pad-see-ew with the chicken skewers. Really impressive flavor. Made me a little more confident that Downtown Atlanta might be on the rise!

This is gonna be a long one because this place took me for a ride. I hate to sound like but this is…read morea restaurant you'd like only if you've never ventured to NE ATL/BuHi/Norcross for the real bangers. It gives... tourist trap? I have never in my life had Americanized Thai food (or at least been conscience of it) but this tasted every bit of that. Not a single Thai national or descendant cooking or dining in here... I should have slid out the door upon noticing this but we were HONGRY and this place was walking distance. I appreciate the big portions to help alleviate the hunger, but the food going down wasn't even close to a real Thai experience. And the general ambience was definitely off. It's unclear whether this is a casual to-go spot or a sit-down spot or a bar. The service here was confusing. You have to order drinks separately from your food, for one. Secondly, it took a solid 10 minutes for a bartender to walk behind the bar and begrudgingly explain to me what they have available. I would have ordered more but her attitude made me close the tab after one beer. We didn't get served water until after we received our food, a solid 15-20 min after being in the restaurant. It generally felt like no one wanted to be there, and the staff were just moving independently to complete tasks instead of creating a dining experience *together*. There was not a smile from a single person I interacted with. I'd most likely not return purely because the dining experience is just plain out uncomfortable. On to the food. Mostly oil and noodles except for the papaya salad, which was... okay. Again, big portions. Nice heat. But just okay. The whole cherry tomatoes on top were a little weird and screamed laziness. The tofu kee mao was... okay. Same for the chicken pad thai. Lots of oil. This food made us feel pretty tired after eating it, which I've rarely experienced eating Thai cuisine. And they were very, very stingy with the protein. My husband counted 4-5 little slivers of chicken and hella noodles. The same was true for my tofu dish. I mean... it's tofu y'all. Cheap. But I can imagine they have to cut these corners because there were about 8 staff members running around in a small space with only a few customers in for happy hour. They do have HH deals on drinks depending on the day, but I found the drinks to be overpriced and not worth it. Especially the beer. And a $10 non-alcoholic cocktail is wild imo, especially for the scanty area this area is in. They are certainly milking the fact that they are in eyeshot of the Mercedes Benz stadium. The inside is beautiful and very ~trendy~ and honestly that tells me exactly where the focus is. I'd rate this a 2, but I'm adding a star for the spotless restrooms.

I wasn't expecting much from this place but it was the perfect gem. I wasn't expecting much able to make a last minute reservation online and we were seated immediately. The waiter was professional and so friendly--he literally knew every little thing about each dish. He provided some great recommendations and we decided to order the lobster crawfish wontons, the crispy beef, the drunken noodle with scallops and lobster tail, and the sticky ribs. I easily could have eaten all the wontons myself and the drunken noodles came large lobster tails and plenty of scallops. I ate these so fast that I forgot to take a picture. The crispy beef was a little bit on the sweeter side but it was the perfect amount of crunch and sauce that paired well with the vegetables and jasmine rice. I also really enjoyed the ribs--they were very tender and flavorful. It came with collard greens which I didn't enjoy as much but the other dishes were so good and I ate so much that I didn't mind. I also saw plenty of couples celebrating milestones together so it definitely makes for a cute night out if you're in the area looking to have a nice dinner with your partner. I hope to be back to Atlanta soon so that I can indulge again.

I can only give so much of a perspective on it but even though that is said I still had a good experience . The place itself is bigger than what you would see from the outside and it's decorated very well so it would be good for maybe an intimate night or a close friend night or a date night kind of situation. It's not something you would do for a sports bar kind of vibe . In the location you already know that you have to worry about paying for parking so just keep that in mind. The parking in the structure on the other side of the building isn't so bad so you could easily just park someplace else and walk across the bridge. It's not going to break the pocket lol . The bar was very clean and the service there was friendly and I have no complaints about that . Chili honey old fashioned - this was a really good and flavorful drink. I like the way they mixed the flavor profiles together and it really helps it out. It's not as spicy or as peppery as I would have liked but that's probably by design. You have more sweet than it does spicy because it's supposed to be an old-fashioned at the end of the day . That indoor and outdoor seating. So if it's a good day, you could at least sit outside on the patio area and a lot of that area is indoor and outdoor so you have plenty of options as far as that goes. The restaurant is really nice and very clean and it will definitely get my attention because I saw some food there that looked like I can eat lol. I got all positive vibes so I have no complaints.

I was very excited to try this place, as it's been hard finding good Thai food in Metro Atlanta…read more Everything about my experience was just ok. It wasn't clear that parking is validated if you pay at one of the stalls using the QR code. The restaurant was fairly quiet and empty when we arrived, and we had a reservation. We were seated directly next to the kitchen where it was loud and noisy, which was an interesting choice since there were so many empty tables everywhere else. The food was just ok in my opinion. The best thing we ate was the appetizer, which was the crab curry vermicelli bites. It was delicious and flavorful. For main entrees, we ordered pad see ew and pad woon sen, both with chicken. Both were very underwhelming. The flavor profile just wasn't there in my opinion. We asked for three stars of spicy, and the pad woon sen came out with red tinted noodles and extra sauce on the side, which tasted like it was supposed to be hot sauce? It's hard to describe, but the noodles tasted superficially spicy if that makes sense. It tasted like they flavored it to look spicy, but it wasn't spicy in the traditional sense. There were no chili flakes or oils that were incorporated into the dish and it wasn't offered as a side, which is typically my experience at Thai restaurants. The portions were also relatively small for their price tags in my opinion. Two entrees and one appetizer (no drinks) ended up being in the $80s. Also for being an "upscale" Thai restaurant, more authentic touches would have been nice. For example, chopsticks weren't offered at the table when we were seated or when they brought our food out. We had to flag down our waiter and had to specifically request it, and we got disposable chopsticks. Again, not a huge deal, but in my experience at upscale Thai restaurants, they usually offer proper, reusable chopsticks along with other silverware. Overall, this place was a miss for me, given the flavors and the food for the cost.

The restaurant is beautifully decorated with Thai cultural artifacts, and there's also a backdrop of umbrellas at the entrance that makes for a nice photo spot. The food, however, was a bit hit-or-miss for me. Most of the dishes were a little too heavily seasoned, too sweet, or too salty for my taste. My boyfriend enjoyed the food more than I did. My palate tends to lean toward lighter flavors. The food was good overall. Nothing to complain about, but nothing really stood out as amazing either. We had: - Strawberry Creamy Mocktail: a bit too syrupy for me. - Black Mussels: the mussels were a little dry and didn't taste very fresh. The dish was also too salty for my taste. - Fried Gyoza - Satay Chicken - Tiger Prawns & Scallops - Roti Bread: we ordered this as a side without curry. - Mango Sticky Rice for dessert. Overall, it's a nice place with really good service and beautiful decor. Although the food didn't quite work for my palate, it will probably suit people who enjoy stronger and more heavily seasoned flavors. I would still recommend giving it a try, especially for the atmosphere and excellent service.
