Fried tofu, veggie egg roll, spicy basil fried rice
John S.

Im no expert, but this was the best Thai food I have ever had. One sweet woman cooks it all. I had the fried tofu and then the spicy basil fried rice. So good. Really not a dine in place. One little table for 2. Was perfect for me. Support this place!

Their dumpling is tasty and yummy .

A convenient take out Thai restaurant. I've enjoyed every entree and the dumplings were delicious. The mango rice for dessert was very good!

People who write positive reviews for this place must be drunk. Super oily, no flavor, gross.

Sometimes it gives good advice on all kinds of matters: Tax law, relationships, organic farming, and aerospace engineering. One time it shared a great recipe for homemade apple pie. Don't be afraid to tell it your deepest darkest secrets. If the haunted ATM/robot friend is not reason enough to stop by, it should be noted that the food is excellent. Chicken Bangcock never disappoints and the portion size for all their entrees is a value. Perhaps the finest item on the menu is the Chicken Pad Se Ew with flat noodles and Chinese broccoli. The first time I had it, Unicorns danced around my mouth and giggled. The dude behind the bar is a bad a$$ and makes all kind of dope drinks. I would like it if he wore a velvet cape and cowboy hat while he waits on customers. In fact, the management should consider mandatory cowboy hats for all staff members working dinner service. Ask the barkeep to pour you a triple shot of "tortilla" with a lime wedge and your life will be changed forever- all your wishes will come true and you will no doubt end up in a drunken stupor talking to the broken ATM machine that perpetually sits next to the bar.

My tech lead said this is her go-to Thai restaurant whenever she's in the area, and I was curious to try. The interior has no frills, which is fine with me. As long as the food is good, I don't really care. PAD SEE EW - 16.99 +chicken, wide noodles, and Chinese broccoli This is my go-to basic Thai order if I don't know what else to get. The pad see ew had a good "wok hay" flavor and the sauce was perfectly savory with a bit of sweetness. The wide noodles could have been a bit more chewy (felt like they were a bit overcooked). The entree lacked egg, Chinese, broccoli, and chicken as it was mostly noodles. I felt a bit ripped off. The portion sizes were large so most of us had leftovers for another meal. Personally, I would rather have more toppings other than carbs with a smaller portion. Overall, 3.5/5.

The food at Sea by Thai rivals my go to RVA Thai food spots (think Mom's Siam, Thai Flavor, My…read moreNoodle & Bar, and the like) in serving size, quality, and price. I ordered the Kee Mao Goong-Gai (aka Drunken Noodles). It was delicious and came with both chicken and shrimp included. I also tried their pineapple fried rice which was seasoned amazingly, as well as the Iron Squid. Truly not a bad thing on the table. I highly recommend and can definitely see myself returning soon to try more dishes off their secret menu!

I came to your establishment primarily because of the positive reviews, and I had hoped for a…read morepleasant experience. Unfortunately, I was quite disappointed. The food was excessively salty, which made it difficult to enjoy. Additionally, our group consisted of five people, including two young children under ten, yet we were seated at a very small table meant for four. To make matters worse, our server recorded us as a party of six and automatically added an 18% gratuity. I do understand that some restaurants apply an automatic service charge for larger groups, but this was the first time I encountered it without any prior notice. At the end of the meal, we were handed another receipt that already included the gratuity from the first bill, alongside a blank line asking for an additional tip. This felt rather confusing and, frankly, inappropriate. I checked your menu afterward and saw that the policy clearly states it applies to parties of six or more. Not only was our group size misrepresented, but we were also effectively asked to pay twice without any explanation that the gratuity had already been added. I am very sorry to say that I will not be returning.

I would have preferred a more immersive Thai atmosphere to match the cuisine. We both enjoyed the edamame appetizer topped with sea salt, and when our entrées arrived, we immediately noticed the generous portion sizes. He ordered the garlic chicken special, which was decent but unremarkable. I chose the pineapple fried rice with chicken and enjoyed it, though I would have liked more pineapple and slightly larger pieces of chicken rather than the thin slices served. Overall, the experience was fine but not memorable. We don't regret dining here, though if we skipped it on a future visit to town, we wouldn't feel like we missed out.

Nothing could be further from the truth as the place was packed. I came-and I was not the only one-seeking vegetarian options among a region not full of them. I wasn't wowed at them using generic grocery store bottled tea. The food, however, was better. A set of spring rolls came with fresh vegetables and a sweet and spicy dipping sauce. My tofu was savory, spicy, and very fried. Despite the crowds, service was reasonably good. On a nicer day, covered outdoor space would have been available to sit. The experience would rate a bit lower in an urban area in my mind. But given that any urban area is a long way from here, I was happy with what I found.
