Sticky Rice Mango
Jim M.

Originally Magic Spring Roll location. Was happy to see Arun Thai on tik tok recently and decided to give it a go. It's a very small eatery with 6 tables and 16 seats available. Family owned and operated wife in the kitchen and hubby working the front. Very personable and friendly folks, it almost as your at home and Mom is preparing a favorite dish a real homey vibe for sure. We ordered the Pad Thai Beef and Chicken Pad Thai with Sticky rice for the finish Sticky Rice Mango. The servings were full plate and steaming hot spice level from 1-5 we played it safe at 2. Noodles were perfectly cooked and the ingredients were delicious. A small gem in the neighborhood that reminds you of days gone by. Wishing them nothing but success. Can't wait to try something next visit. I would highly suggest giving them try.

Crispy garlic chicken with brown rice
Arianne P.

We arrived right when they opened and there were already about five people ahead of us. I wanted to try the pork skewers, but they were already sold out due to a large online order--hopefully next time! For appetizers, we got the crab Rangoon and fresh spring rolls. The crab Rangoon was really good--the filling was meatier than most and not just packed with cream cheese, which we really appreciated. The fresh spring rolls came with a delicious peanut dipping sauce that we loved. My husband ordered the chicken Pad Thai (spice level 2) and said it was a bit sweeter than other Pad Thais he's had--next time he'll go for a higher spice level. I actually liked it a bit more than he did! I ordered the crispy garlic chicken with brown rice. It wasn't super flavorful, but it was still tasty and enjoyable. We also ordered two Thai iced coffees, and I absolutely loved them. The place itself is very small, with only two 4-person tables and four 2-person tables. You order at the counter, and they bring the food out to your table. The service was really great. One thing to note: if you pay with a card, there's no option to add a tip, so bring cash if you want to tip your server. We'll definitely be back--and fingers crossed the pork skewers will be available next time!

Pad Thai
Flo M.

This a small hole in the wall Thai food place but it's well worth the wait! Tried it for the first time today and definitely will be coming back again! Food tasted amazing and service was great too. The prices are affordable for the serving you get. The food tasted fresh and authentic tasting like when I was in Thailand. I recommend to try this place. You may have to wait for a table or you can buy to go.

Green curry with tofu
Monie H.

"Run, don't walk!" is my rating for this spot. 5 stars for service & food. We had chicken curry puffs, pork egg rolls, crab fried rice, and green curry with tofu. All the food was freshly prepared in-house, including the sauces for the appetizers. Icing on my cake was that I got to try durian ice cream and it was delicious! Our waiter explained that when durian is cooked into a dish, the unpleasant smell disappears and only its amazing flavor remains. He was right! That ice cream was a bowl of creamy heaven. lol! This is a small, clean restaurant with very nice service and excellent food. Our server (possibly also an owner?) was very nice and answered my menu questions. I went with the green curry based on his recommendation, but I have a feeling that all dishes here are quite tasty. I grabbed a takeout menu and I'll definitely be back soon. Oh, they also have Taro ice cream. Yay!!

I found this place through Yelp!, and it is amazing hidden dining opportunities like this one that make me enjoy Yelp! so much. Do not be deterred by the small size or nondescript appearance. This family-run local business serves up amazing Thai food at very reasonable prices. I had red curry tofu and it was delicious. Fast courteous service and a cozy little dining room. Located at Watauga Rd at Hwy 377, this place is well worth the drive.

Mango Sticky Rice
Marianne C.

I've been driving past this little mom and pop Thai spot on Watauga Rd for months. The colorful sign and the mexican home decor next door always catch my eye. Finally stopped in, and I'm so glad I did even after the viral video which recently all over my feed. I was scared it'll be very busy for a while. We enjoyed all of the items we ordered. This is also my first time trying Thai coffee so different from the Thai tea most of us are familiar with. Amazing local business worth supporting, with a kitchen run by the sweetest Thai ladies cooking flavorful Thai food.

Pork skewers
Vu N.

This is actually my 2nd time this week to stop by since the first one I tried eating here it was so busy. There's a line of people trying to order and I understand that everything is cooked fresh and there was only one lady in the kitchen. So I decided to come back again on a different day. They have also adjusted their business hours. They close at 3pm to reset on days that they are open and re-open at 5pm just in time for a delicious Thai dinner. They have apparently went viral hence the reason they got so slammed. Patience is key here. If you want Thai food bursting with flavors this is where you can apply that. As William Langland said "patience is a virtue"

Inside very small but cozy and welcoming
Isabel G.

The ambiance is like you are at mom's home and you are getting a fresh home made meal....small but very welcoming. You can smell the wonderful aroma of other peoples food and it smells divine..There is a bit of a wait it is a small business but the wait is worth it.The couple that own this place are an older couple but are super nice and his wife is such an amazing cook . The food is fresh and of a good quality and portions are generous. The curry puff are fresh non of that frozen stuffs. Note: this is place that you come to eat but you must not be in a rushed they truly put time into cooking a meal for you that is fresh and of good quality so that takes time.

Cashew chicken with white rice
Holly B.

The food was absolutely delicious! My husband said the crab Rangoon was the best he's ever had. The pork spring rolls and chicken satay were also fantastic. I ordered the cashew chicken with steamed rice, and it was so fresh and flavorful. My husband had the crispy teriyaki chicken with Thai herb rice, and it was even better than my dish! Our daughter ordered the fried rice, which she liked, but she mostly snacked on the appetizers and our meals--so her rice came home with us. I highly recommend this place! It's a tiny spot with seating for about 16 people, so be patient--they stay busy. We will definitely be back!

Menu

Arun Thai is a cute little spot that recently opened up, and you can tell that they have pride in the food that they make. I had the drunken noodles with chicken and it was perfectly made. My friend got the red curry, and she loved it. I'm sure I'll be back!

Spring rolls
Denise M.

Food- was amazing we had pad se ewe, mussaman curry fried rice and stuckt rice all homemade by the owner. Super delicious .we will be back

Fresh spring rolls
Tyler W.

Arun Thai Foods in Watauga.... incredible food! Barely open for 2 weeks, they are a family run business by the nicest people! Very reasonable prices as well compared to other Thai restaurants imo, with the option of ordering online too. If there was anything to nit pick and complain about it would be that I asked for spice level 4 on my masuman curry and it was probably a level 2 at best. Cannot recommend it enough and will be back soon!

Thai coffee

The hours on yelp are wrong; they are closed from 3 to 5 PM. There was a line of almost a half dozen people waiting to get in at 5 PM. The restaurant has minimal seating but takeout option is available. We tried the cashew, crunchy chicken, green curry, pineapple fried rice, and coconut ice cream. Everything was pretty good and fresh. The green curry was spicy. The crunchy chicken was a little salty for me, but my partner thought it was just right . The coconut ice cream tasted homemade and served on a bed of sticky sweet rice. I also do recommend the ginger peach iced tea and the Thai coffee. Prices were very reasonable, all entrées under $20 with most under $15

Service was attentive and friendly without being overbearing, and the low-light, comfortable atmosphere made it a great spot to relax and enjoy the meal. Parking was easy and close around the building, which is always a plus. Highly recommend--definitely coming back!

Great choice. Restaurant is modern and clean. Greeted and seated righted away. Service was impeccable. Started with the Chicken lettuce wraps and they were delicious. Seasoned beautifully and tasty. I love it when it's not soaking in "juices". The crab Rangoon was other worldly and house made. Stuffed with cream cheese. Light on crab and or crab flavor but nonetheless excellently prepared. My sis had to have the Thai Rib eye and I ordered my fave, Chicken Pad Thai. She didn't like her ribeye. I tried it. It was tender and flavorful, but I'd argue who orders a ribeye at a Thai Restaurant...my sis is picky and it was more about her taste bud vs how the steak tasted. The chicken Pad Thai was good. I ordered a spice level 2. Prob should have gotten a 3 but still enjoyed it. They do a nice take out business.

Simply Thai is one of those spots that just gets it right…read more Atmosphere: Nice, chill vibe with comfortable table seating. It's relaxed, not too loud, and perfect whether you're catching up with friends or just enjoying a low-key meal. Food: Everything came out fresh and hot--which we LOVE I ordered the Pad Woon Sen and it did not disappoint. The glass noodles were perfectly cooked, mixed with fresh veggies, and you can add your choice of meat (I went with chicken). Flavor was on point--light, savory, and so satisfying. Definitely one of those dishes you'll think about later. Service: Friendly and attentive without being overbearing. They checked in at the right times and made sure everything was good. Final verdict: Great food, good vibes, and solid service. If you're in the mood for something fresh and flavorful, Simply Thai is a great choice.

Simply Thai is just that Simple Thai cuisine, made well and excellent service…read more The restaurant is intimate and cozy. I love the size of the tables, enough room to get a bunch of dishes and share. I enjoyed the Thai dumplings and yellow curry with chicken. The dumplings are fried and come with a sauce that's slightly sweet that goes well with the pork. The yellow curry was delicious- the veggies were perfectly cooked, they also added some pineapple which was a pleasant surprise. Everything was amazing! Highly recommend

Yelped this little Gem and was anxious to try it. It's located right next to our favorite Mexican…read morerestaurant and remember seeing it when we pulled up. Started off with the spring rolls. They were good and fresh. I'd like to have had some fresh basil inside them. The peanut sauce was Devine. The perfect compliment. The crab Rangoon was soooo good. Lightly crispy in texture and delicious. One of the best I've ever eaten. The chicken pad Thai was "ok". I ordered a 2 in heat level and it was served a bit more "hotter" than I'd have liked. The chili oil slightly over powered the dish. The range offered was 1-5 in terms of spice and thought I'd be safe with a 2. I'm still trying to decide if I liked it or not (I'm super picky when it comes to Thai food) Landing 3 stars for the Pad Thai. The fried rice was good as was the wonton soup. My sis enjoyed it even though she's not a huge Thai food lover. This is a hole in the wall with only 6 tables. Service was Friendly and quick. Tried to hit the 3.5 star button but couldn't quite connect it.
