While I semi-regret having to write this review, a 3 is generous. Yellow curry was ok; I will leave it there. However, the Pad Kra pao - every single piece was extremely chewy, and it was NOT Pad Kra Pao. I'd estimate 75% ended up in the folded napkin, chewed with decent flavor but unconsumed. Don't feel like this place is run by a 'Thai' or anyone with extensive experience in Thai cooking....almost as if Frank & Estelle relocated to Nice from the south side of New Jersey and opened a Thai restaurant for something to do. Won't return, but wish them good luck going forward. read more

Cedric!!! Great service, good ambiance. We have had so much bread and cheese and were in the mood for something else. Pleasantly surprised to see Thai food done right here. They made room for us when we walked up. The veggie spring rolls are something else. The red curry, pad Thai & beef fried rice were to die for. Can't recommend this place enough. :) read more

Very small tight interior in the main restaurant and a bit more elbow room across the street. You need reservations! We wanted soup and they had it so we chose to check it out. The soup was very tasty as were the spring rolls. read more

My friends and I missed spicy food after a long trip through Europe and this place hit the spot. The pad thai and kapao were delicious and the spice level surprised us. We loved it so much that we came again the next day! read more

We got to the address per yelp and found the doors locked and chained and looks like they have been closed for awhile.

We ended up here after going to Le Papayou which is, marked as a Thai restaurant on Yelp but, other than a few thai dishes on the menu, it's NOT a Thai restaurant. The waitress there recommended that we go to this place if we want Thai food :-) Sure enough we ended up here. I am fussy about Thai food and whilst the ambience and service here is good, the Thai food is only ok. The menu is very authentic thai and, there are about 10 main courses on the menu, all €12 each and, they include spring rolls (4 to a serve) & soups as main course. All courses except for dessert are one price. It was the most expensive spring roll dish I have ever seen ;-)) The food lacked the punch or flavour of a proper thai meal and, it contained too much aubergine in the curries. The dessert of sticky rice with mango was also ok. The mango was excellent but the rice itself was so so. This place is not cheap if you add drinks to your bill and, the food is ok. Maybe for France or, the French people this might be a great taste but, for me, it was not. Good thai is all about fragrance, texture and good strong flavours. The service here is excellent and they speak good English here. Not my choice of place for a meal but I would imagine it appeals to many others. The place was packed when we got there and there were a few people waiting in as the night went on. read more

We thoroughly loved this restaurant in Nice! We ordered the Pad Thai and the Fried Rice, both with tofu! We finished it completely! The food felt more authentic than we expected and the staff were very friendly. The place is small and it fills up quickly for dinner so you might have to make reservations unless you go for an earlier dinner. read more

First of all, the service was excellent - you couldn't ask for friendlier or more accommodating guys. Secondly, the food here is not to be believed, with a particular shout out for the outstanding spring rolls. The only point of criticism I have is the insanely huge portion sizes - I barely finished half of my chicken larb and I was starving! Maybe some smaller portions and a lower price point might be better suited for a place like this. read more

This is hands down one of the best Thai restaurants I've ever been too. The red curry is amazing! If you want it spicy order it extra spicy as the regular is not spicy. Also had the pad Thai with prawns was good not the best pad Thai I've had but the prawns were excellent. The tom yum was amazing as were the spring rolls. The best part is everything is 12 euro which for this area is great. We had 100 dollars meals that were meh so finding this place we were so happy. Will definitely return read more

Although tables were reserved they managed to fit us in. Lovely Thai with friendly staff.

Awesome Thai food in Nice. We were on a small plate spree when we hit this spot. Very glad we did. We ended up getting the Pad Thai and the Medium Curry. The curry was fantastic. read more

You have to try their Tom Yum Kong, it's really good, the prawns are fresh and also their mushrooms. If you feel not spice enough they provide chili powder And the service are good, super friendly and they can speak English too read more

Second visit in two days. Food is delicious, portions are healthy and reasonably priced. I recommend the Pad Thai, Pad See Ew, Fried Rice, veggie spring rolls and the mango w/sweet rice. Indoor/outdoor seating. Good location. Very intimate and walkable. Right around the corner from a busy square-get ice cream. Service is great. Free WiFi. Not sure what more a weary American traveler could ask for!! Ps, the carafe of blue liquid mentioned in a previous review is just good ole fashioned water! read more

This place is supposed to be "the best thai food in Nice" ??? wtf .. This place is an absolute joke. No flavor in the curry what so ever and dry rice. read more

this place was a GREAT break from all the european food i was eating as of late on my trip. the pad thai was fantastic it could hold up if you had in the us, not saying that the us is the 2nd best option after thailand just fyi great staff and place gets SUPER busy. they'll defer you to their 2nd location up a few blocks they had some blue drink everyone was getting from a carafe so ask about that mango rice is textbook too, just like youd find in any thai place in the us FYI make a booking to help get a table. but i tried to message them on facebook and they never answered. i did facebook bc they never answered their phone. you may have better luck ORDER: wait staff JEANS: OK by far read more

Delicious food. The space is a bit small and cramped for how popular this restaurant is. I definitely recommend coming here to those who are looking for some tasty, delicious, appropriately priced thai food. read more

Ok so we made reservations 2 days in advance because of the reviews on Yelp. We were seated promptly and the staff spoke English, which was nice. Then we hit the first period of waiting. We sat without a waiter checking in on us for drink orders for about 10-15 minutes as the people who arrived the same time as us were having their food orders taken. This was difficult for me because I usually don't mind waiting for food as long as I can be drinking a cocktail or even water. When our waiter finally realized he was very attentive for the next 20 minutes. We ordered drinks and the Thai rolls ( which we had to ask about because we were not given the specials menu). The drinks and rolls came out very quickly and were delicious. They were not a flavor that I am familiar with but I was pleasantly surprised. Now we ordered the app and our food at the same time. We start seeing everyone around us that also ordered at the same time finishing their meals before we received ours. At this point even I am starting to hit my waiting limit and even considered leaving because I didn't even see the cook cooking. However, about 2 minutes after that the waitress came over and was very apologetic , without us complaining, and even admitted they had forgotten about our order. This was reassuring. The food was great. I got chicken Pad Thai. My only complaint was their were a lot a bean sprouts to noodle ratio. My boyfriend got the green curry(which appeared red). It was a mild spice but they provide you with pepper flakes to spice it up. He preferred this so it could get it to exactly the right spice level. I gave the restaurant a 4 based on the food and the apologies of the staff. I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt that this was t a normal occurrence since I saw other people eating in a timely manner. I would go again. read more

Ok here is the down low. I am Chinese and I was in Thailand a few years ago so you can take my review with perhaps more weight. Place is busy and service was quick. Staff was friendly enough. Wife got the chicken pad Thai. I got the green curry over white rice. Do not order the pad Thai, tasteless and it was not what it should taste like on any scale. Green curry tasted 6.5/10 and was on the watery side, didn't have much chicken. Give this place a try if you are sick of Italian/French food. They also charged us for an additional rice. read more

A new Thai restaurant. Not so many tables, 2-3 tables outside. Very good meny, not too many courses. All of them very tasty genuine Thai food. I started with the soup Tom Young Kung, genuine spicy Thai taste, freshly made with herbs and ingredients like in Bangkok. I got the soup on the table in two minutes, friendly service, extra chili which was not needed. After tried some other thai/Asian restaurants in Nice before, I find this to be the best, and it has become my favourite. Highly recommended!! Very useful cool little restaurant. read more

Very impressive with service and food. If you crave for Thai food in Nice, this is the one. It will be crowded every night.

Don't waste your time trying to make an on-line reservation here because it will not be honored. We heard great things about this restaurant and tried to go twice during our week in Nice. The first time we were told that they had no availability until 10:30pm, so we then made an online reservation for three days later through yelp. When we arrived for our reservation, the host was very rude and told us he could not accommodate us because he was all booked up. We explained that we had a reservation and he said we did not because he does not do on-line reservations. I showed him the confirmation texts on my phone but he did not apologize or offer to help us set up a reservation for another date or time. I don't care how amazing the food may be - with service like that I wouldn't be able to give this place a pleasant review in good conscience. read more

Amazing food and a wonderful staff!! Will be back again before we leave. We got the spring rolls and pad thai veggie! Tonight we are going back for prawns fried rice! read more

What a great find! I've eaten at so many Thai places and this is up there with the best. Small seating. Great staff. They speak English too. Loved it. read more

The food was great! The stuff was :-) The place is very small and always full, so maybe its good to make a reservation! The menu is small which is great, cause this means food is always fresh! read more

Very delicious and authentic! We ate here on a Tuesday evening and loved everything we tried. The veggie spring rolls were delicious--crisp and piping hot on the outside and filled with a nice mix of veggies and spices. We used the lettuce and thai basil that the rolls were sitting on to make lettuce wraps. Wow, were they awesome! Both soups we ordered were also very good (Tom Yum Shrimp and Tom Kha Ghai). My husband loves Tom Kha Ghai soup and this one was spot on, one of the best he has eaten. The broth was full of flavor. The red curry was very flavorful, too. Best thing about this authentic Thai place was the food was prepared using fresh spices and herbs such as lemongrass, , kaffir lime leaves, ginger and chilies. The coconut curries were subtle and light--no trying to doctor the taste with a lot of heavy coconut milk. We also tried the mixed veggie plate and again, it was delicious. The sauce was light and full of flavor. If you want it spicier, just ask for the thai chili powder or chilies on the side and add it to your dish. I would recommend calling ahead for reservations as it gets very busy and they turned away quite a few parties because they were already booked for the night. read more
