I finally got to try the famous gumbo ramen from Thai Nola and now I completely understand the…read morehype. I first tried it at the restaurant, then had to get it again during French Quarter Fest because I could not stop thinking about it. It is honestly one of the most creative and flavorful dishes I've had in New Orleans. The broth is rich, smoky, spicy, and packed with deep gumbo flavor. Every bite had something in it. Shrimp, sausage, chicken, vegetables, noodles, and so much seasoning without being overpowering. The ramen twist somehow works perfectly with the New Orleans style gumbo base. It feels like comfort food with a creative upgrade. What I really loved is that even at a busy festival, the quality was still amazing. The portions were generous and the food came out hot and fresh. If you see the gumbo ramen on the menu, get it. Don't even second guess it. To be honest the ambiance was cool but the flavor of their food makes you forget about anything else around you!!!

Good stop for us from Mobile,AL as we were making our way to see New Edition Concert and had heard about this place via instagram or something. Food was delicious. Crab Rangoon was superior. Gumbo ramen was enough for 2 meals. Keep up the great work and positive vibes. I'll be back. Johnson's OUT!!!

I have a huge crush on Thai food so when I saw this place got high praise, my interest was peaked. Inside the restaurant it's real nice. They have a small bar area and I could tell this place gets packed. The owner was kind and helped with my order. I got a to-go order of Drunk Noodles with chicken ($19) and an order of roti ($12). At first I was a bit confused at the price buttttt after tasting it, I get it. I get it and take my money! I'll be back again and again.

The ambiance here exceeded my expectations--the dining area is much larger than you'd guess from the modest strip-center exterior. The furnishings and décor are tastefully done. The restaurant offers table service, and both the service and our waitress were wonderful during our visit. My three favorite dishes were the Tom Yum soup, the Thai Isaan-style ground pork, and the Papaya Salad. We also enjoyed the Drunken Noodles and the Roti with Massaman sauce. The Tom Yum soup was phenomenal. I love this dish to begin with, and their version is hands-down the best I've ever had. The flavor was amazing, and the fresh vegetables really elevated it. It's served with rice, making it a hearty and satisfying bowl. I definitely recommend this place and think it's going to become very popular.

Creamy, rich, and perfectly seasoned, though I wouldn't have minded a bit more chicken. It had a gentle kick--noticeable but manageable, even for someone who doesn't usually go for spicy food. Solid 9/10. We also tried the crab rangoon, five per order. They were bite-sized, crisp on the outside, creamy inside. I'm pretty sure it was imitation crab, but honestly, still tasty--especially with the dipping sauce. Another 9/10. Service was good overall, and the ambiance was nice. I did knock off one star, though, because the server never took our drink orders--we ended up with only warm tap water.

Our server, Cherry, was the sweetest ever -- so helpful, attentive, and genuinely kind. She made us feel welcomed and taken care of from start to finish. I was even checked on by the chef himself, which really says a lot about the level of care and hospitality here. Both the chef and Cherry casually checked in to make sure everything was perfect, and it truly was. The Curry Puffs were TOP TIER. I had to have that same curry sauce again -- you'll have to ask Cherry about that one because wow. Every bite was packed with flavor. The atmosphere was warm, inviting, and relaxed, making the entire dining experience even better. From the food to the service to the overall vibe, everything was phenomenal.

It's a little hard to get at directly (you need to go to Lakeshore drive then turn at Russell's), but it well worth the extra turns. They appear to do a robust takeout business, but we opted to eat in. There is a tiny bar along the front wall that you can sit at, but there is a decent sized dining room with more than 6 tables just behind the front desk area. Same gal was serving the dining room and handling the take out orders at lunch. She was wonderfully kind and attentive. The food was very yummy and had all of the flavors of Thailand that I was hoping for. We got the papaya salad with medium heat and it was perfect, cool, crisp, sweet, salty, all at the same time, plus perfectly toasted peanuts. YUM!! We got the Pad Thai with chicken and the drunken noodle with beef. The pad Thai noodles were slightly over cooked and the drunken noodles were slightly undercooked. The flavors were perfect though. I'd try them again if we were in the area.
