I was double charged on my credit card several days after I ate there. my card was charged at the day of the visit then 5 days later I was charged again in the middle of the night. I eat at this restaurant several times during the week but now I am going to find somewhere else to eat. read more

Wow, Boon Choo, you exceeded my expectations with your incredibly tasty food! I know someone who works at Boon Choo and have been hearing him rave about it for a while now so I finally had a Saturday with no plans and decided to go try it out with some friends. We drove there from Asheville for dinner and will definitely be doing so again soon. To start, my husband and I split the Siam Chicken Wings with Thai seasoning served with sweet chili sauce. The wings themselves were quite small but the portion size was perfect for a split appetizer. Whoa, the flavor of these wings was amazing and they were seasoned and cooked just right. The seasoning had flavors of lemongrass and garlic and the outsides of the wings were crunchy. For meals, we split both the Drunken Noodles with Beef (per the suggestion of my friend) and the Paneang Curry. Both were really, really, really yummy! The Drunken Noodle is a hearty dish served with veggies and the beef was tender and moist. The Paneang Curry was sweet and rich. We ordered ours with the shrimp and the shrimp was cooked perfectly. We ordered the "very hungry" sized portions of both dishes and had leftovers to take home. Not only were the meals fabulous, everyone working at Boon Choo had a smile on their face and were very friendly. I am already looking forward to going back sometime soon! read more

Boon Chop is the best Thai in the area, in our opinion, including Asheville's Thai options. We love them and cannot say enough good things. Super authentic, good portions, good prices. read more

Fairly quick and good food. The takeout window is very convenient however, the restaurant doesn't offer much in the way of ambience when dining in read more

Cute atmosphere and easy parking. The outside isn't much to look at but don't let that deter you. The staff is friendly and the food is delicious. read more

Spent a lot of time in Thailand and this is pretty close To the food there only the presentation is much nicer. The food is fresh and you can taste it. The portions are very generous and the food is incredible. Highly recommend you check out Boon Choo! read more

Boon Choo Thai Express - Pad Thai the best I've ever had! - Thai Near Me - Flat Rock, North Carolina

Ate here once before. No changes just ok. Counter service. You find a menu and wait at the counter to order. Pay also. find yourself a table and wait. They give you drink cups-you fill your own. They bring the food to the table...HOT. My pad thai was just ok. Too bland. No one asks how you want it--they just assume. Husband had sweet and sour chicken. He was happy. You clear your own table and put the dishes in the tubs near the counter. End of dimmer. read more

Yummy yummy in my tummy, you go here or you're a dummy. Needs more words, this is tough, I really hope this is enough. read more

Definitely a good place to eat when in the Hendersonville area. I have had the Green Curry with chicken and the Tom Gha there. Both are rich and filled with great flavor. Service is quick as well. read more

This is a hidden gem. We eat a lot of Thai food. We had Pad Thai, chicken Thai basil, Pho, and Pad woo sen. and all 4 of us said it's the best Thai we've ever had in any city. Spice level 4 is perfect, go level 5 if you're a maniac. Will make this place a regular stop in our dinner rotation. read more

This used to be our go-to for Thai food. Sadly, however, the quality of the food has gone way down, and the prices have gone way up. On Friday, we paid $60 for two entrees -- mixed veggies with beef and drunken noodles with chicken -- and two large Tom Kha soups. To be fair to Boon Choo, I'll add that we do substitute rice noodles for rice. The drunken noodles came with beef, not chicken, and the soup was devoid of flavor (lime leaf noticeably absent). In my opinion, $60 is too much money for take out for two people, especially when the quality is so poor. We won't be going back. Our neighbors concur. You're losing customers, Boon Choo. read more

This place is SOOOO GOOD! We had the Pad See-Ew and the Eggplant Basil. Both were delicious and very flavorful. We also got the DONUTS! Please get the donuts. They are amazing and they come with a gooey dipping sauce that is unbelievable. Also if you want a safe, covid friendly experience, they have a drive thru! They even gave our doggy a milk bone and she seemed to be a bug fan too! We have tried this place as well as Thai Basil. Def a fan of Thai Basil but this place has much better prices and much more flavorful food in my opinion! This is definitely our new go-to Thai place and Im so happy we gave it a try! read more

We love Boon Choo for our bimonthly Thai fix! If you're truly hungry and distressing about portion sizes, order one of noodle soups. It doesn't matter which one, they're all amazing and practically endless while eating. The Pink Noodle soup looks unreal, but it is real...ly yummy. My fiance usually switches back and forth between the pineapple curry and drunken noodles, but has varied a few times with other options that are all equally good. Our last few visits the spice level seemed higher than previous trips (with no changes to our order), so maybe the chef changed? We still love it, though. read more

I wish I could rate a zero because of how incredibly rude and unprofessional every staff member I interacted with was. The food itself was fine but it was very hard to enjoy my meal based on how terribly the staff treated me and my husband in front of our two kids. Never go here unless there's absolutely no other options. read more

We have been going to Boon Choo for at least 5 years. We love the food and staff! They are always pleasant and willing to accommodate. My husband is GF and they have lots of options! This is our favorite Thai restaurant outside of Thailand:) read more

Sensational! I love the service, cleanliness, decor, value, and the flexibility of menu options - Would you like the Pad King, except with the Pad Thai sauce? Done. Oh, and the spring rolls are amazing. read more

We love Boon Choo as a gluten-free, dairy-free family. Our usual go-to's include red curry, green curry, pineapple curry, pad Thai, street noodle soup, beef salad, and steamed veggies. We've had one gluten/dairy mixup when my husband clarified if the calamari was ok, and told it was, then the next time we were told it was not. Glad we do not have immediate reactions! We now know what is safe and tasty. So thankful to have this great Thai food in our town. Call ahead drive-thru pick up is also a plus! read more

They're solid. Good prices and good food. Neighborhood eatery - don't expect gourmet - but we keep coming back with the kids and they are consistently fresh and good read more

My husband and I tried this place hoping to find a quick, inexpensive Thai place. The price is good for the portion, but the flavor just isn't there. I had Pad See Ew which is my usual go to at any Thai place and I ordered Medium heat. The overall flavor was very bland and the "heat" was in the teaspoon of spices sprinkled on top of my dish. My husband had the drunken noodles Very Hot. Again his dish was seasoned with a layer of dried spices all over the top layer of the noodles. This dry spice wasn't cooked into the food. Simply dusted over it. Meaning that's all you taste. The decor was fine. The tables and chairs were simple. You clear your own table and serve your own drinks. We were underwhelmed and won't be back. read more

We have eaten here twice. The first time was good. Yesterday was a totally different story. We ordered the PadThai with chicken and a green curry with chicken. Medium and mild on the spicy levels. The PadThai can out as a lump of overcooked stuck together noodles with 2 pieces of chicken sprinkled with peanuts and missing all other spices and ingredients. The curry was equally disappointing with a spice level that was way past medium and a tiny scoop of rice floating in lots of greenish liquid and equally sparse chicken. Don't know what happened between early and yesterday but will likely not be back. Very disappointing. read more

Great Thai food. Fresh and delicious. Very good portions. Not overly priced. The staff is nice, helpful, and on point. I am looking forward to dining here again in the near future. Outstanding soup read more

it was my very first time in the restaurant, this sweet cashier Vanessa was so sweet , she helped me pick out what i wanted , she's so kind, had a respectful attitude, i'm definitely coming back! read more

This place is great. I've eaten here many times. I always make an effort when I'm close. I arrived a bit late today, but the staff made it happen for me. They are always so nice. Great lunch. Five-star heat is pretty much "Thai hot". That can be hard to find. read more

We stopped on a trip to the mountains. Comfortable atmosphere, quick friendly service, fresh, hot, great flavor, big portions. The food was so good that my kids said they wanted to come back here every day. We had the Phat Momma Roman, Pork and Broccoli stir fry, and the Kids noodles. read more

This place is one of those surprisingly great finds that quickly becomes a go-to staple. I should not have come here because now I'm addicted... Don't be fooled by the name. This is not one of those drive-through low quality "express" joints. This place emphasizes quality for a reasonable price point with great selection and overall customer experience. The employees were all so friendly and you can tell they love working there. We will be back again and again! Also, try the vegan curry but be mindful that the heat scale is legit. Do not go for "Thai Hot" unless you are really on that level. read more

Update from previous review: I had to subtract 2 stars and I'm not sure they should get one. I finally stopped back in (5 months later) and personally I think it's not better, maybe worse. Heat is way too hot for level 2.Curry sauce is almost solid and rice very mushy. On a good note veggies were nice & crunchy and there was eggplant. But I think I'm just going to find a Thai place that is consistent in their recipes. Previous Review : I eat takeout here often because it's convenient. Over the last few months, it's just become a little more disappointing and recipes seem to vary for the same dish on different days. I thought about giving another star due to pandemic issues, but here's the thing. How about just saying you don't have something and giving a choice of replacement? I ordered Green Curry and instead of Japanese eggplant there were sliced carrots. That's kind of a big deal. Also I'm pretty sure the green in it was lime leaf instead of basil. These affect the flavor. The other disappointment is the heat. You never know if the heat number you order will be hot or medium. That shouldn't change. The vegetables have always been crisp & fresh tasting but lately they are almost too soft & overcooked. Even in the noodle dishes which have less & less sauce. I don't know if it's an issue with the cook or problems getting things, but I do know that people should know what to expect from a restaurant they visit regularly. This isn't the only Thai restaurant around and definitely not the only one I've eaten at. I'd like to see them succeed, but I'm pretty set on enjoying the food I eat. You should also read the reviews that aren't recommended. I don't know why Yelp left them out, but they seem real to me. From first hand experience.

Had the pad thai with fried tofu and fried (tempura) spinach. Both were excellent! But trust the guy who takes your order and says (in terms of spiciness) that 5 is atomic and 3 is spicy. Had mine at two and it was just right for me. Very friendly staff, too! read more

This is a great Thai restaurant. Highly recommend. The Pho is so good. So fresh and the spring rolls are excellent. Choice of the amount of heat is really great. I love the crispy tofu that has a nice fresh salad. read more

LOVE this place and the food. We ordered the pineapple curry (sorry can't remember the exact name, but it's made with pineapple and coconut milk), fried rice for a child, green papaya salad, fried calamari and THE SPICIEST NOODLES IVE EVER HAD. It was $5 and I hurt SO much but it was delicious!!! We will definitely be back. The Thai iced tea is also on point. read more

Boon Choo Thai Express - Thai Near Me - Flat Rock, North Carolina

The food was excellent and that staff was over the top in being friendly and helpful. Will stop in next time we're going through Flat Rock!! Loved it read more

Flavor is fantastic. Fried tofu is perfectly crispy. Service is friendly. Rice noodles are cooked with roasted garlic & delicious. I would give more stars, but the heat scale is completely inconsistent. I ordered a 3 the first time I went; perfect kick. Last time I got a 3 again, and it was Thai-level hot. Today I ordered a 2 and it was what I'd get as a 4 elsewhere. My tip would be to order 1-2 stars under what you normally get, and add more yourself if needed. Apparently I need to order a 1 to enjoy it, which I've never done, like...I love spice. I just don't love numb-mouth, or a roulette of seeing how much heat I get, depending on who is cooking. read more

The food at Boon Choo is super-fresh and obviously healthy. I loved that they had vegetarian options for everything we wanted to order, and all the produce was crispy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. Service was friendly and the people obviously liked working there. The only thing keeping this place from getting five stars is the price of the food: you order at the counter, you're expected to bus your table, but you pay at least 10 bucks a plate for minuscule portions. For instance, I ordered the Secret Wife Stir Fry for $14 and got only a handful of food; my wife's portion was about half the size of mine. I feel like you're paying a premium for the hip vibe the place has. read more

All I can say is WOW! Moved here from Denver Colorado a year ago, a bustling city of 3 million people. I've been to dozens of Thai restaurants over the years there. I've also been to 2 of the other Thai restaurants in downtown Hendersonville and one in Asheville. All this to say Boon Choo is now in my top 3 favorites list, ever. The other 2 are back in Colorado. The "small" bowls of Tom Yum & Tom Kha soups are huge and only $4! Both after phenomenal. In the eggplant Basil with beef, the beef was very tender, the flavor delicious. Thai fresh basil with shrimp had large lucious shrimp and loaded with fresh basil. This was my first try but I will be back tons more to continue an exploration of the menu because I trust now that it will all be good. Do know that you order at the counter and they bring you your food. The owner/chef Su is a lovely lady. This restaurant deserves a huge fan club. Please check it out! read more

We did take out and the food was excellent! Their helps are big. We did one soup and two entrees and we had leftovers for the next day.

Usually get to go meal from here when staying in Hendersonville. Good portion sizes and great to take home to hotel while watching a few movies. read more

Husband and I went here for dinner. I got sweet and sour pork and my husband had pad Thai with shrimp. His food came out several minutes before mine but I understood it was delivered while fresh. Mine was also piping hot. Both were delicious! We're definitely going back to this place! read more

Don't let the strip mall location cause you to drive by. Great service and delicious food.

Far nicer inside than you have any right to expect in a strip mall. Excellent food with many options, many levels of spice, and simple kid menu of healthy noodles but with less spice or unfamiliar ingredients. Friendly, fast, filling and surprising. Seriously clean interior and restrooms. Nicely decorated with soft music playing. My kids loved it and they are fairly picky but had had Thai noodles before. The super hungry portion is truly gigantic. read more

A nice restaurant for takeout and sit down. They serve a good portion of tasty food, and the prices are reasonable.
