This is a hidden gem in a small strip. Our daughter introduced us to this place and we went for lunch. Small cozy and clean restaurant. The owner is very friendly and the service is great. We ordered the pad Thai, green curry, papaya salad and cauliflower. They came out hot and very tasty. The peanut sauce is delicious. read more

I visited on a Friday around noon. Service was fast and friendly. The young lady taking and bringing out the orders checked on me several times. I ordered the pork egg rolls and Thai wings. I also had the Thai tea. Everything was cooked to order. Hot and fresh. The egg rolls were fried crispy and came with a delicious sweet sauce. The Thai wings were okay. They were fried crispy and came with a sweet chili sauce and sweet sauce on the side. I would've preferred mine to be tossed in the sauce. The Thai tea was sweet and had a nice flavor. The price was decent. I paid less than $28. Inside was clean and had a nice lunch crowd. I'd definitely return to try additional items. read more

My favorite Thai place!! So so delicious! I am always greeted by the staff. Very friendly attentive staff! The Khao Soi is so delicious and my go-to every time I'm here. I recommend it to everyone. My favorite place that sells Khao Soi. The dry tom yum is also insanely good. I will say, their medium is spicy spicy. I personally think the Thai Tea was really sweet so only a few sips and I am done with it. The inside was very cozy I love the vibes of this place. read more

I got a very basic order with pad Thai, Thai tea, and mango sticky rice. The pad Thai was with shrimp and was a generous serving! The taste of it was very good also The Thai tea has to be the best Thai tea I've had in the city for sure! The mango sticky rice was also good and a generous serving, I wish the rice was a tad bit sweeter. The service was very very nice. I could see that they were busy on a Friday night, but the service was still much better than many places. The restaurant itself was very simple but enjoyable. The energy of the place was great!! I would eat here again definitely read more

This place gets my vote for best Pad Thai in BR. I set my spice level to medium and that was all the heat I needed!! Also... their lemongrass soup sent me to heaven.

Chai Thai-Lao - Lunch specials - $10 every day they are open! - Thai Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

I've recommended Chai Thai-Lao t numerous people who have given glowing reviews, but I had never actually been here until today! On a gloomy afternoon, I knew I wanted something different and filling. I started to order online but figured I would go in person to see if there was anything they could tell me about the menu options. It's a small space in a small strip mall with seating for about 20 and a couple of tables outside. My only complaint is that the ventilation is not great. It is definitely a bit smokey in there. The employee who took my order was super friendly. It took about 10 minutes for the order to be ready. Per a review, I ordered the chicken pad Thai with the Thai spice. The order is large and provides a couple of meals. It's just the right amount of spice, a little sweet and a little spicy. I also ordered the veggie spring rolls and they were great. The right amount of crisp and full of flavor! Oh man, what a satisfying meal(s). I will not wait so long to come back! read more

Chai Thai-Lao was an accidental find for us, and what a wonderful find it was! Tucked in the back of a strip mall, it's easy to miss from the road. Our service was snappy, and my Pad Thai (not my most creative order, but it's a great way to see what they do) was scrumptious. I'm going to go back and will branch out with the menu next time, but at this point I'm happy to give them five well-earned stars. read more

Chai Tai-Lao is in a small shopping center off of Jefferson Highway. Interior sit down area is minimalistic, with self-serve napkins, spoons, forks and drinks. It is accessible by wheelchair. Very, very clean which is always appreciated. You can eat in or take out. We ate there. Prices are not cheap. Total bill for two entrees (Drunken Noodles and Pepper Steak Basil) and two softs drinks, was $44. Prices of entrees and rice/noodle dishes are not even printed on the menu. Add in an appetizer and you'll need a $50 bill plus a fiver. Food was brought out very quickly, steaming hot and portions were generous. Basil pepper steak was good. Good basil taste. A little strong on the salt and had a hint of soy sauce which I'm not used to in a Thai dish. It had a ton of vegetables and beef, including red and green peppers, basil, thin sliced carrots, onions and ... string beans ... the latter of which I'm not used to seeing in my Thai dishes. A comment on the saltiness. An overuse of salt is usually a good indicator that the underlying flavor of a dish (or lack thereof) is being covered up. You'll have to judge this for yourself. The drunken noodles tasted good, a little sweet, with pretty much the same vegetables. My dining partner got it level 2 (out of 4) on the spicy scale, which was more than enough. Try levels 3 or 4 at your own peril, lol. Overall we were pleased and may be back. It's not the best Thai we've had in the Baton Rouge area, but if you're on Perkins near I-12 and hankering for some Thai, it will do. Just be prepared for the prices. read more

Unfortunately I will be throwing what's left of this dish away. I had really high hopes for this place based on the reviews but was highly disappointed with the pad thai. It barely had any chicken in it and has no flavor. It's like the noodles are just mixed with sweet and sour sauce and there was a lime wedge and peanuts on the side. Just not good. Cheap food for a high price. I will not be back. read more

We always get it to go. Amazing!!! Other Thai restaurants to go food orders have dropped off lately,especially after Covid. This place is excellent. Highly recommend!!! My wife is very picky. If she is happy, you'll be happy. Ton of protein in each dish. They don't skimp on their to go orders. Everything is very fresh. Try it, I don't think you will be disappointed!!! read more

I see why everyone loves Chai Thai-Lao! The service is impeccable, I felt the lady at the counter was genuinely nice and made sure we had everything in our to-go order. The food was spot-on: no fatty pieces of meat, very hot and fresh, customizable, etc. I know lots of people mentioned wait time in past reviews, so I made sure to place my order long before arriving which you might need to consider. I will absolutely be returning soon for some great Thai food in BR that meets high expectations!! read more

Blissful RUN to this Thai restaurant. Seriously, hands down amazing! You order your food at the counter and sit, they will deliver to you at the table. They had an amazing amount of to go orders - I was surprised! We each got an appetizer, the cauliflower and chicken satay which was delicious! These could have been meals on their own. We got the Pad Thai and then the Khao Soi - Y'ALL!!! The soup/ramen was so good. The broth had so much amazing flavor that you literally don't want to stop eating. While the chicken pad Thai was good, I'd recommend the soup over anything! This is truly a hidden gem in BR! The staff is amazing and they deliver a pleasant experience. The service is outstanding and they go above and beyond. read more

This place was highly reviewed by yelp. I thought it was very average. The portion was big of the Pad Thai. But it had very little chicken in it. The noodles were good. The medium spicy was a more spicy than I expected. You order at the counter and then they bring the food to you. It took a long time to get the food. $20 for the chicken pad Thai and a bottle of water. They seem to do a lot of takeout. business. There's no ambience to the place, but I really didn't come for that. I'm not going to return. I think there's better out there. read more

Chai Thai Lao 8733 Jefferson Hwy, Baton Rouge, LA 70809 It's not often that I eat Thai food since I don't usually crave it. I can admit, though, in my own opinion that Chai Thai Lao has the best Thai food in Baton Rouge. Even the owners are top-notch in caring about the customers along with their impeccable service. From beginning to end, everything we've ordered was just mind blown. Expect to see me back here! 1. Thai tea and Green Tea (limited item) 2. Chicken wings (favorite) 3. Medium spice Level papaya salad 4. Beef and chicken medium spice level larb (favorite) 5. Medium spice level chicken pad thai. 6.

Chai Thai-Lao - Daily lunch special - Thai Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

Chai Thai-Lao is my ultimate lunch spot. I can't recommend their daily lunch special enough; my husband and I often split it because it's incredibly generous! It's always freshly prepared, piping hot, and ready to enjoy. With two enticing entree choices paired with either fried rice, pad Thai, or both, there's something for everyone. You can even indulge in all four options if you're feeling adventurous, and it always includes a delicious egg roll. All this goodness for just around $13! Whether you prefer dining in or taking it to-go, Chai Thai-Lao never disappoints. read more

So glad I stop in today and had some of the best Khao Soi ever! They happily offered to make for me as it is a usually a dinner item and it was amazing ! The shrimp were perfectly cooked and spice level was nice. It was so fresh and tasty! The staff were so helpful and it's the perfect spot for a delicious lunch. The menu is easily customizable to vegan and vegetarian which is always a plus and you can sit and watch live stream of open market cooking which was a nice change from news or sports. read more

It took me longer than I'd like to admit to get here but I was so happy I finally made it in for lunch. For a Friday it was pretty steady and smelled amazing when I walked in the door. I decided on the Khao Soi Soup (add shrimp) after a glowing review from a fellow Elite (thanks Pacience!) and it was so yummy. Exactly what I needed. Medium spice but still woke up my sinuses, the shrimp were enormous and cooked perfectly and the broth was creamy and full of flavor. This had a good noodle to broth ratio, and if you're normal, you'll love it. I personally like less noodles so had some left over, but I slurped every bit of the broth down. I'll also say their veggie spring rolls are DELICIOUS. So crispy, so flavorful - which I love in a meatless app. My husband enjoyed them cold later that evening too! All in all it was a little more than I normally spend for lunch, but so worth it for 6 huge shrimp in a big ol bowl of soup and 3 spring rolls. I'll go back for their lunch specials next time! read more

My new favorite restaurant. Not only are they extremely nice, but the food is out of this world!! So flagrant, so flavorful and they give you so much!! Prices won't break the bank. Give it a try. They blow all ramen, thai and Vietnamese places here OUT OF THE WATER!! They're THAT good. read more

Was excited to try this place based on the reviews. Got food for takeout, crab rangoons, coconut soup, pad Thai, and fried rice. I was impressed with the portion sizes compared to most take out spots. Crab rangoons were a little burnt but still tasted good and good crunchiness. Coconut was good, thumps up. Pad Thai was lack luster, no bean sprouts and the herbs were very overpowering to all of the other flavors. Fried rice tasted like some type of frozen dinner very disappointing, was expecting Thai fried rice. For the price I was let down by the food. I would good back for the coconut soup. read more

As recommended I ordered ahead for lunch and gave them about 45 minutes before I arrived. Food was ready when I arrived. Unfortunately (for the staff person) the same person was serving as cashier and expo. So, once she rung up the person in front of me she went to bag up completed orders and then was able to bring me my order. All the food was still nice and fresh when I returned home. Spring rolls were crisp. Soup was yummy. Noodles were great and double what even a greedy American would need. They also had tofu in it that remained a good texture even with all the yummy sauce. I will say I am glad I only ordered two heat because the scale definitely is not dumbed down. For now this will definitely be my go-to Thai/noodle place. read more

Chai Thai Lao has really stepped up their game lately! Their food has so much more flavor now and they're truly the best Thai / Lao restaurant in Baton Rouge when it comes to the value of their food and friendly service that makes you feel right at home. We never pass up the laab, khao poon when they have it, and the papaya salad. The pad Thai and drunken noodles are sometimes on the sweeter side, but that can also be adjusted. Highly recommend giving them a try - their menu is fairly priced and affordable! read more

Love Chai Thai-Lao. I live a little oote, so I noticed that they close between 2-4pm, so I called & asked if I could place my order now & dine in; guess what? they allowed me to do just that . It was a lil after 1pm. The young lady was so patient while taking my order, even gave me a call back to make sure that I was still coming. The food was divine! I ordered the papaya salad (hot), beef larb(medium), yellow curry lunch soup of they day, pork egg rolls & sticky rice. They didn't disappoint at all. This is authentic Lao/Thai cuisine. The sticky rice was fresh, the larb and papaya salad came with lettuce or cabbage, the chicken curry made me happy & the egg rolls were crispy, fresh out of the fryer and tasty. The ambiance was free & happy. You can tell everyone dining in was happy and enjoying their food. Thank you. I'll be back. read more

I was really excited when I heard this place was opening because I'm always looking for new Thai options. I attended their grand opening and was pleased to see some familiar faces from my absolute favorite Thai restaurant in town, Thai Pepper. We ordered a variety of dishes to try. My wife loved the khao soi bowl and I enjoyed my Panang chicken lunch special. The pad Thai was standard, but good. Crab rangoons were pretty basic, as was the pork/basil stir fry. It took over an hour to get my food, but I'm hoping/assuming it was just because they were overwhelmed with customers who showed up for the grand opening. read more

Walking into the restaurant, I was confused whether this was fast-food Thai food or a sit in dine in restaurant. Every food was served in to-go trays which took out of the dining experience. Thai food is meant to be sat down unless it's street food like chicken wings. I ordered the pad Thai, chicken wings, panang curry, and Tom yum. The pad thai's noodle was a bit undercooked but had a great flavor. The chicken wings tasted ordinary, nothing extravagant. The panang curry had a lack of depth in flavor, it was flooded with coconut cream. As someone who is a southeast Asian, the curry was a sorry excuse for it. The Tom yum however was decent. The food portion was really good for its price. Overall, I would definitely come back for the pad Thai because of its portion, and to try newer things. I just think they need to make a firm decision of take out or restaurant and then it will be better. read more

I love trying new places especially places serving Thai food. The meal was very delicious. I ordered Pad Thai and my noodles were were not soft enough to me. I ordered egg rolls.... THEY WERE THE BEST!!! I asked for two pork filled and one veggie filled. I ate all the egg rolls that day. I rewarmed my noodles the next day and it was still good. I will go back and give it another try. read more

A new Thai place in BR!! It has a small dining area and the food is served in takeout boxes. The food is soooo good though, and just seems to stay steaming hot forever. As far as service, the ladies were very sweet and you can watch me cook right behind the counter. We got the pad thai, curry, and fried plantains. Nothing but compliments for this place. It's just a bit quirky to get to, and parking lot is small, but would definitely swing by when I'm back in the area. read more

Stopped in here randomly and ended up LOVING it! Very friendly staff and super quick service. My food was amazing and I will definitely be back soon. read more

I purchased some Tom Yum to go. The soup was excellent, but the packing was subpar. They placed nearly boiling hot soup into a waxed paper container inside of a plastic bad, essentially a big Dixie cup with a lid, so of course the soup did not remain in the container on the way home. I recommend that owners invest in better packaging for their to-go soups. read more

Small place - essentially a kitchen with a few tables. No wine or spirits. Just order at the counter. The food is the draw, and it's definitely worth the drive from our place downtown. We had the Thai Egg Rolls and Peanut Cauliflower to start. Both were hot out of the fryer, and delicious. She had the Thai Basil Rice with shrimp, and I had the Pad Kieng with shrimp. Both were full of flavor and freshness. Perfect ingredients, expertly prepared. The latter was especially tasty. We ordered both Hot (not Thai Hot), My forehead was sweaty, and my nose was running, just like I want when eating good Thai food. Chai Thai-Lao has the best Thai food, maybe even the best Asian food in Baton Rouge. read more
