    New Beef Panang Curry
    Anthony N.

    This was one of the saddest days I've ever gone through...The owner of Chada Thai had sold their business to a friend, and now it's Chada Thai 2.0... The recipes and taste are completely different. The prices gone up, and it's just like your ordinary Thai restaurant. She said she needed to sell the business to take care of her severely ill husband, so I can't be really mad about that. I know I can speak on behalf of many of her loyal customers who would always come here to dine, but we really miss your dishes and flavors of Thai. Chada Thai just isn't the same without you in the kitchen...

    After a long night of partying, all we wanted was some Thai curry and carbs, lo and behold - Chada Thai (under new management) made our morning after delicious, warm, and gave us a nice kick. We had the cream cheese wontons, yellow curry and khao soi, and the servings are deceptively larger than you think. Flavors were exactly what we needed, and the ambiance was lovely on the inside. Lots of room for larger groups and parties. 10/10 would come again :)

    Under new management. Still a solid restaurant. They trade a small break between 3:30-4:30p daily. Good was great, price was reasonable, definitely be coming back

    Rock solid lunch stop. Food came out fast, like lightning fast. At first this made me question how tasty it would be but apparently they just have Superman working in the back. In fairness, we came in a little after the normal lunch rush so maybe they just weren't super busy. They have lunch options in the $12-14 range depending on your choice of protein. Tofu isn't listed as an option, but when I asked they were happy to accommodate. Hubby was pleased with the combo: chicken, beef AND shrimp. For $14? You can't cook this at home for that price. Lunches came with a salad. It's just lettuce and thinly sliced carrot, but it does come with a very tasty house dressing that has a nice thick peanut consistency. Yum! Portion sizes were great. I love Thai food so I normally polish off a lunch special no problem but I actually had leftovers after a very filling meal. The white rice even comes served in a cute little heart. An unexpected but very fun surprise. All in all this is a gem of a Thai place and I will definitely be back to try some other meal options when I'm in the area.

    I visited Chada Thai and was surprised to see a banner announcing an ownership change. But if you are a regular, some of the previous staff still remain. Looking at the newly printed menus, I was told that the new chef has added dishes not previously offered. The important thing is that the items I order regularly "tastes the same".

    Pad See-Ew
    Christine T.

    Service was quick and friendly. I ordered pad see ew and Thai iced tea. The food came out piping hot. Pad see ew hit the spot and is recommended. The restaurant is located behind the mall of fortune with its restaurant facing the parking lot. If you enter from the other side (by 85 degrees), there is a sign directing you where to go.

    Pad whoon sen and pad see ew
    Olivia Z.

    We came on a Thursday afternoon around 2 pm and there was no one else there. The vibes were very small business and the service was standard. Honestly, the food was pretty basic, not the best we've had but also not inedible. It satisfied the pad see ew craving! We ordered the chicken pad see ew and pad whoon sen both of which were pretty okay.The pad see ew was on the oily side but the smokiness was really good and the noodles were really chewy. The pad whoon sen was lighter in flavor and definitely needed an extra boost from the side sauces but wasn't bad! Prices: Pad see ew - $13.95 Pad whoon sen - $13.95 Ratings: Pad see ew - 3.5/5 Pad whoon sen - 3.5/5

    I am a certified avid fan of Thai Food. And Chada Thai is definitely in my top 3 if you want to experience authentic Thai cusince. Location: tucked in behind the busy plaza of Oc va Lau , you can find the restaurant if you go to the back of the Mall of Fortune (85c Cafe). . We ordered a lot of things from the menu and prices ranging from $13-$26 . Very affordable price for the authentic and high quality. This restaurant has been around for more than 10 years, so they do not miss on flavors. Recommend: Pad Thai, Pineapple fried rice, Spicy eggplAppetizer: Crying Tiger which is Marinated steak grilled. Honestly, anything you pick on the menu will tatste great! My family and friends approved this place.

    Chicken Satay (5), Golden Tofu, Stir-Fried Noodle
    Molly H.

    A little hole-in-the-wall restaurant located at the end of a plaza. Came on a Monday afternoon and was seated right away. The staff were friendly and helpful as they offered recommendations of their popular items. The food was delicious, I especially liked the crispiness of the Golden Tofu and the refreshing taste of papaya salad. I would recommend checking this place out if you're in the area.

    A go to Thai spot in my family! It is located behind 85 degree, right next to OC and lau. It's a small little shop, with very friendly workers! The food is also amazing with unbeatable prices. My go to dishes are the pad see ew, pad thai, and the fried tofu. Pad see ew had great flavor and good portions. Definitely get the fried tofu! It's very crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.

    Bao D.

    IMO: The portion sizes are a bit small for the price, but the friendly service and welcoming ambiance make up for it. I came here with a friend who's a regular, and the staff immediately recognized her, asking, "The usual?" and if I was family. The cozy and familiar vibe made the whole experience feel warm and personal.

    Mango sticky rice
    Erika T.

    I am very excited to share my experience at Chada Thai restaurant. I ordered the pineapple curry with shrimp. This was an explosion of flavors in my mouth with the blend of sweet pineapple and creamy coconut milk balanced with the savory curry and delicious shrimp. It did not come with any rice so I did order sticky rice on the side. This dish is supposed to be a bit spicy, but I found it to be more on the sweeter side due to the pineapple. For dessert I had to try the mango sticky rice. We were lucky enough that they had one more left. Ever since that day, I've been craving it and can't wait to go back for more. The staff there were sweet and accommodating. If you're looking for a place with delicious authentic flavors, Chada Thai is definitely worth a visit.

    Salad

    I ordered the tofu Pad Thai, and it was definitely not what I expected. It was overly saucy and very sweet--far from an authentic Pad Thai. It might appeal to people unfamiliar with Asian cuisine, but if you know Asian food, this will likely be disappointing. The woman at the front desk was also not very friendly. On top of that, be careful when paying: the tip options start at 20%, 22%, and 25%, which felt inappropriate given the quality of the service. In many Asian and European countries, tipping is not expected, yet the service is often excellent. Tipping should be earned, not assumed.

Service is always excellent I have no problems I always get what I need and my orders always right. It's a no frills hole in the wall establishment. I have perfected my order and it is always the same - beef pad se ew: delicious, piping hot, garlicky flavorful, beef is a little chewy but it's fine the noodles shine with the Chinese veggies -crispy fried rice: legit in this name crispy, chewy, refreshing paired with salad and ask for some chili fish sauce drizzle it on top delicious bites! -pork jerky: chewy, salty, flavorful but I don't care for the sauce it comes in sells out often get it while you can! It's a lot of food often I have to take a little bit togo but the portion size isn't always consistent so keep that in mind if you are with a larger party. Honorable mentions: Papaya salad is good they have 2 styles get the one that has a crab o watch out though get medium or mild it can be very spicy if you can't handle it. Recently tried the boat noodles and it was interesting very large and filling lots of noodles and toppings. Loved the fried shallots taste and texture it added you smell tom yum but it doesn't taste like it at all very unique taste I don't know what to compare it to. Try it if you want to try something fun and new.

We got here…read morejust before opening and barely made it in at the last table of the first wave of seating. There were 20 parties in front of us and it was a bit confusing at first but I luckily quickly noticed the Yelp tablet out front. We ordered the papaya salad, morning glory with crispy pork belly, drunken noodles with beef, khao soi with braised beef, and Chu chee curry with fried catfish. Everything was delicious and authentic and a hit with our party! We left stuffed and with leftovers but I will note the morning glory with crispy pork belly portion was a bit smaller than we've had at other restaurants.

Dropped in solo, but ordered like I had someone with me. Service was great, very fast and attentive. Everyone I interacted with had a smile on their face. Inside was clean and modern. Ordered the Beef Khao Soi, the Papaya Salad, and the Crab Fried Rice. All of them were exceptional. The beef in the Khao Soi was sooo tender, the rich and creamy soup (broth?) with coconut milk was perfectly crafted. The Crab Fried Rice was delicious too. They have an option to go "super saiyan" on the crab for a hefty price... may be up your ally if you can spare the cash. Lastly, the papaya salad. A staple. A must order to gauge authenticity! Manaoo does their profiles right: the salad was super refreshing with a perfect balance of heat and umami. However my disappointment comes from the use of a shredder instead of hand-cutting. I know its for efficiency...but when I'm dropping close to $15 for this... I do expect a bit more refinement. Overall, Thai food is getting expensive, and Manaao is no exception. However Manaoo provides excellent quality and bold flavors with fresh ingredients; they make sure you want to come back for more. I'll be back in to try my other Thai favorites! Parking is abhorrent! Don't park in the adjacent lot. They do tow!

It is not greatly seasoned, it may taste kind of plain to some. I noticed some of the seafood was not cooked fully. I do mot recommend this. Pad Thai:This is a must try! The noodle is chewy and it is not the typical noodle used for Pad Thai. The dish is flavorful and the bean sprouts adds a great crunch. If you love peanuts, then there are some on side. Definitely recommend this. Papaya Salad: Absolutely love it. The salad is well flavored and marinated. Definitely recommend this if you're new to Thai food. I saw people ordering large party tray for papaya salad. Tom Yum Soup with seafood: Great soup option especially in the winter. The portion is seafood is great. The taste of sour and spicy balanced well together. The restaurant seems to be under-staffed. We waited for a while to be seated because the only person working in the front was helping in the back. And our Pad Thai was left out when we did make the order. Luckily the front staff was friendly and the food really made it up. This restaurant happens to be located in the same plaza as OC & Lau, so you might have to park a bit further. I definitely believe this restaurant should be more recognized. It got a great selection and the food tastes great. Of course, they should improve their staffing issues.
