Wow. This place is absolutely amazing. We've slowly been working our way through the menu (usually take-out in that seating can be limited). Our favorites include the pineapple chicken or red curry. The pho is quite different than any pho we've had before - lots of unique cinnamon/clove flavor, but still quite tasty. Probably the best restaurant in Bloomington. read more

This place is wonderful! I ordered the pineapple fried rice and it was amazing. I didn't realize there was egg in it (i'm vegan), but they replaced it for me and were so kind about it. It's served in a pineapple too, which adds extra points. I also got the fried tofu- which they confirmed was vegan, and it was also very very good. If you are vegan, i highly suggest the pineapple rice, but be sure to order without egg bc it doesn't list it on the menu!!! read more

We had dinner at this restaurant and had the following: #56 Spicy Basil Crispy Pork Belly with Eggs, #34 Pad Thai wrapped in Egg, Chicken satay. Everything was delicious. The Crispy Pork Belly came with sauteed peppers and onions and rice. It was excellent. The chicken satay was great and had a really good peanut sauce. The Pad Thai wrapped in egg was a unique dish and was also delicious! read more

I love this place! It just recently opened up. However, the place is on par or even better than the local Thai restaurant. Siam house, you have a competitor. The decor inside is beautiful, and the atmosphere made me at ease. The Pad Thai wrapped in egg was the best I've had! They definitely put a lot of attention to details on every plate they serve. Their menu has a lot of options! They also serve Boba at a reasonable price. Bapu, the local milk tea shop, you also have a competitor! The staffs were knowledgeable and friendly. I would definitely go back there a couple more times to venture out! Definitely recommended and a go-to !! read more

I love this place so much! It's a new place and it's gorgeous inside. The ladies inside the restaurant were so sweet and were so knowledgeable about the menu. The milk tea was so good, the perfect balance honestly and the boba was nice and chewy. I got the coconut crepe cake and it is amazing. They layer each crepe and the filling so evenly. I would 10/10 recommend this place to anyone!! It is the perfect new spot on kirkwood. read more

Blooming Thai - thai milk tea (coconut milk), earl grey milk tea (almond milk), and coconut crepe cake (they gave me extra coconut topping on the side) - Thai Near Me - Bloomington, Indiana

Wonderful Thai fusion with many delicious flavorful dishes that will tingle your taste buds. Staff is very friendl

This was the most disappointing meal I've ordered out . . . ever?. Ordered the Thai Chicken wings and the yellow curry, with the avocado salad. The salad was a D; the rest was undercooked, tasteless and anomalous. Don't believe the stellar reviews; this place has terrible food. Save your money and order a Happy Meal read more

I am generally very loyal to my favorite Thai place but decided to branch out today and I'm glad I did. We had the crab Rangoon which was very crispy and delicious with a vinegary and sweet dipping sauce. We also had the pad see u with chicken which was flavorful and soft. The only dessert available via delivery was the Thai donuts so we tried them. They look like popcorn chicken and the donuts taste more like a fried biscuit than a donut. We decided to try them with the glaze dipping sauce and that changed the game making them sweet little morsels. We could have used more glaze for sure. Lastly we had a peach Italian soda which was absolute perfection. Light, sweet and refreshing. We'll be back to try other menu items soon. read more

I DO NOT RECOMMEND EATING HERE NOR GETTING DELIVERY FROM HERE. I was at a track meet at IU and wanted something quick and healthy to eat before my upcoming race. It claimed "quick delivery within 20-30 minutes". It ended up taking 2 hours and 15 minutes. I ordered the spaghetti pad kee mao, basically just noodles and veggies. Why did it take over 2 hours?? Plus, they didn't even give me utensils so I can't even eat my food. They also did not reimburse me. read more

Incredibly underwhelming. At almost $80 for 4 people, one should expect more. The egg wrapped pad Thai was bland and mostly noodles and was not hot, even though I ordered it hot. All of the noodle dishes were under flavored, lacked veggies and the meat and/or tofu we ordered. They gave us large amounts of under seasoned noodles for a $15 dish. The stir fry dishes were over cooked and the meat was dry. The milk teas we ordered were good, but we won't be coming back to BloomingThai to eat. There are better choices for Thai in the area and they give you what you pay for. The extra star is for promptness, accuracy and abundance of food we got - it just wasn't good Thai food. read more

Service is too slow. Waitress gave me water and then disappeared. If you want to grab something quick before class then don't go here, you may miss the whole class. read more

I've only had Thai food maybe one other time, so I wasn't entirely sure what to expect and I was very pleasantly surprised. My table ordered a few different appetizers and entrees and decided to share them so we could all try something new. My main entrée was the green curry rice. It was delicious and I got ~3 meals out of it. Large portions. Will be going back! read more

Soooooofa king good!! Traditional Thai cuisine with offerings from northern Thailand. We had the pot stickers, Tom yum soup, and khao soi - - all perfect. This is the real deal and so happy to have them in Blooington. read more

Most places I can go to and ask for 2 out of 4 or 3 out of 5 for hotness and that is fine. The medium here left us with runny noses and forcing our way through the food. it's definitely geared for the Thai pallet. I would suggest ordering Mild unless you really have a taste for spicy food. Food is fine - as good as Thai food gets in Bloomington - which is only about okay. read more

I am so happy this restaurant opened in Bloomington I have probably eaten there six or seven times since it opened. It is easily the best Thai food in town. I lived in Laos for several years, just over the border from Isan, the part of Thailand the proprietors are from. Their food, at least what I have tried, ranks up there with the nicer restaurants in Udon Thani and Vientiane. The menu goes beyond standard American Thai fare. The Isan style papaya salad is perfectly funky with real padaek, the fermented fish paste traditionally made from seasonal pulses of freshwater fish. Their Isan sausages are made from scratch. The Boat noodles, a specialty of central Thailand, are spot-on delicious and not a normal feature on Thai menus here. Super fun! If Thai comfort food is your thing, the pad see ew is uncommonly flavorful with awesomely wide delicious noodles. The kao man gai - rice cooked in chicken stock with poached chicken and a super flavorful herby sauce - is excellent. I haven't tried the whole menu, but I may be well on my way. Yes, I may be a food nerd, and the ladies in this kitchen are my new favorite Bloomingtonians. Oooh - and the cakes are lovely. read more

Authentic Thai, prices not bad, friendly staff. I have been here multiple times and have not been disappointed. Highly recommend grandma's special recipe curry! read more

Blooming Thai - Thai Near Me - Bloomington, Indiana

Blooming Thai is a hidden gem!! I've only had similar Thai food in Portland, OR - where you wait in lines for this kind of food. We started with the egg rolls - delish! Not too greasy and the sauce was perfect!! The Thai spicy basil topped with egg (Pad Krapow Gai) was GREAT!! We also had the Thai Chicken Ginger Rice (Khao Man Gai) that we devoured in minutes. We asked for "spice" on the side because .. as most know... Thai food brings the heat. Blooming Thai nailed it!! So so so good!! Can't wait to go back. read more

Dined inside last week. Food was amazing and the service really good. A great value. Highly recommend.

Everything was so flavorful and delicious. Two thumbs up! Would come back if I were back in town.

Blooming Thai is excellent! The first thing you will notice is a total change in the interior from what was Darn Good Soup. While you might have a little shock at the prices, the food not only is excellent but the quantity and quantity is superb...well worth the price. We will be going back to try different dishes. read more

Food is pretty good, I do like Mi Thai better. Mainly because of the service. Here at blooming Thai, good luck ordering over the phone, he puts you on hold but you hear everything in the background while he waits 5 minutes without answering you then hangs up. The fella at the register is rude and I'm pretty sure he's the one who answers the phone. This guy needs to be let go or learn some etiquette. This has happened to me 3 different times. Will not go back and we order Thai 1-3 times a week. read more

Great food and bubble tea, great portions and prices. Spiciness options in case you can't take the heat.

Excellent Thai dishes and the larb salad is a must order. Friendly, courteous staff, and timely service.

Everything is deep fried, the menu is limited unless you're looking for drinks. I feel like I need a cardiologist. Also, very annoying xylophone music which made me want to run out the door. I would not recommend. I wanted to love it, but it's not good. read more

Incredible and authentic food and easily the best Thai restaurant in Bloomington! I've spent several months in Thailand, this is absolutely the closest food I've had to real Thai food in the Midwest! The only negative, our food took a really long time (new restaurant) , and they messed up our order, but the server comped our drinks and gave us some extra stuff. It's a new restaurant, so once they get that stuff worked out, this will be one of my favorite restaurants in Bloomington! read more

This new Thai restaurant definitely exceeded my expectations. It has great modern Thai decor and a wide variety of dishes on the menu. The Pad See Ew was the best that I've ever had, and the boba there was extremely good as well. The staff was also very personal and friendly. Definitely worth a visit! read more

Well. The staff were okay. I order pho, it was hmmmmm. The pho itself was soggy. But it's okay level. But my friend had Thai curry and complained it's too sweet to him. Then we figured the chefs might have a super sweet tooth... Today we wanted to have some bubble tea but the one we went was closed. So we ended up coming here. The boba was NOT cooked through... So they were tiny seen from outside, and hard (not Q at all) when chewing on. And worse thing? You can't choose how much sugar you want! Sigh... read more

We had takeout for the first time yesterday from here. We ordered the red curry with chicken, Tom Kha coconut soup with shrimp and the yellow curry. It was PERFECT. This is the best red curry I have ever had in Bloomington. The coconut milk was so robust and flavorful, perfect amount of spice and sweetness. Everything was cooked to perfection, including the meats. I am normally disappointed with dry chicken in curries but this was not the case. I ate the large container of soup throughout the day because it was so addictive! This will be my new go to Thai restaurant and I'm thrilled I gave this place a chance! read more

BloomingThai has, hands down, the highest quality Thai food you will find in Bloomington. The flavors are wonderful, and there's so much care put into the presentation of each menu item. The interior is super cute, and it includes a display case full of delicious looking deserts (I have yet to try any because I always get full from their huge portion sizes, but I have no doubt that they're delicious). It may be on the slightly pricier side compared to other Thai places in town, but once you order, you will see that the price is worth it 10x over. I never leave reviews, but I love this place so much that I felt it was worth it! If you're not sure what to order, try the Kao Soi Gai (curry noodle soup)! read more

I love Thai food and this is definitely the best in Bloomington! The Panang curry is my go-to and I love the assortment of boba tea flavors.

SOOO good! I ordered the pho, the pandan coconut crepe cake and the cheesecake. Oh the flavors!!! Everything was delicious! I loved how thoughtful they were in packing the pho for a take away! read more

This new authentic Thai restaurant opened up on the square right by The Tap. I really liked the inside of the restaurant and it provided a peaceful and pleasant eating environment. My wife and I went to get some lunch and a bubble tea. We got the spaghetti pad kee mow, rotisserie chicken fried rice, and papaya salad. The taro bubble tea was really tasty. My favorite dish was the spaghetti pad kee mow and my wife loved the authentic papaya salad. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone who is in the mood for some great authentic Thai food or a bubble tea! read more

The food was good, but the service was very poor. We were greeted when we walked in but then waited 10-15 minutes for our server to come to the table (with only 2 other individuals in the store who already had their food). When she came to the table for our drink order, we said that we were ready to order our meal as well. She took our drink order and then immediately, without saying a word, walked away. She came back with our drinks approximately 4 minutes later, set them on the table and then turned away to clear a table. After she wiped down half of the table and left a crumble on the other side of the table, she came back to write down our order with her unclean hands. After writing down our order, she did not immediately take it to the kitchen. Instead, she put her note pad in her pocket and then went about setting the table she had just "cleaned" with her still unclean hands. Something else to note is every time I saw her walk back to the kitchen, she would drag her hand down the wall. In my opinion, she should prioritize better hand hygiene. Aside from the rough start, the food came out very timely and was hot and yummy!! The spice level was good, and I feel like the quality of the food was definitely worth what we paid!! As far as the restaurant goes, it's a nice space with fun decorations. It appeared clean and well kept. I'd probably eat there again having a different server. read more

Exquisite Thai food! We got the Deep Fried Tofu appetizer, Panang Curry with tofu, and the Tom Sapp with tofu. Everything was delicious! Our server was very thoughtful and helped me avoid meat on the menu, as I am a vegetarian. The menu is extraordinary -- they offer lots of authentic Thai dishes, as well as an extensive wine list and also a sizable selection of Pho dishes. Not a ton of outdoor seating, so if you are still avoiding indoor dining, I would get an order to go. read more

We got the green curry and pattaya pineapple rice. Both had a lot more flavor compared to other Thai restaurants we have been. You will not be disappointed. Their food is very good. The staff is also very nice and welcoming. read more

Stopped in for lunch. Prices were comparable to Mai Thai and they are much better IMO.

Horrible! We are huge foodies and noticed there was a new Thai place so we wanted to try it out given Thai is one of my favorites. We went Friday and it was awful. They sat us in a crowded space with a computer printer in our booth and three large plants on the table that took up most of the table. It took forever for the waitress to come back after seating us. She finally came and we ordered the combo appetizer, crab fried rice, spicy chicken, and the fried pork belly. We then waited a long time before we got the appetizer and when we finally did it was cold (all fried food). Then they delivered the pork belly dish and the crab fried rice. They forgot my chicken and said they would get it. The fried rice was mediocre at best. My fiancée said the pork belly was horrible. I tried it and it was literally so hard I thought I was chewing a bone but it was just hard meat...not good. Then about 35 minutes later the waitress comes back...no chicken...I asked her where it was and she said "I'm boxing it to go and it's on me"?? What?? She then walks off. I didn't order it to go! She then brings a bag of food and the bill. Hands down worst experience and food we've had in town and we have eaten at almost every restaurant in Bloomington. Very disappointed because we were hoping to like it since Esan went out of business. We will go back to the Siam House from now on when eating Thai in town! read more
