I love Thai food so I had somewhat high expectations for this place. I wasn't impressed. The food was mediocre at best, the pricing too high for the quality of the food, and the service was subpar. It is a small locally owned business so I always hope for those places to do well. First the food and pricing...I don't mind paying $10-15 for a plate off noodles, but I expect them to taste soft and flavorful. I went here for a date and ordered the Pad See Ew (my favorite thing to order when going to a Thai restaurant for the first time). The noodles themselves seemed a little too dry and not soft enough. The dish itself just seemed to lack flavor. I was particularly hungry when I went and when I took my first bite, it wasn't in the least bit satisfying. Secondly, the service was a bit of an issue. I got here around 5:45pm and the dinnertime rush had not happened yet. The service was slow. My date and I ordered one appetizer and two entrees. We sat, talked, and waited. Our waiter delivered our entrees and immediately left. No appetizer. Didn't stick around long enough for us to ask. We tried to get his attention, but sadly he didn't see us. By the time he reappeared to refill our drinks, we were already half way done with our food and thought it a moot point to even mention the appetizer at this point. It never appeared nor was there any mention of it from the waiter. Overall, the food wasn't horrible but it wasn't amazing. The waiter wasn't mean or rude, just not that great and forgetful. To be fair, he could have just had an off day or simply have been new. I'm willing to give this place another try before writing it off completely. read more

Lunch at Lime Leaf did not disappoint... The ambiance was pleasant, the staff were friendly, and best of all, the food lived up to the reviews. We started with lettuce wraps, which were similar to lettuce tacos due to the shape of the leaf, which turned out to be an excellent start to the meal. The presentation was beautiful with all the dishes... Freshly cut veggies in interesting shapes always delight me. My daughter had sweet and sour chicken, which she claimed was "amazing". I had the jalapeño chicken. Yummmmm! My wife took the advice of several people who posted suggestions to foursquare and had the Hibachi Red Snapper, which came out sizzling... All in all this was a very enjoyable Sunday lunch! read more

Overall...I would avoid this place as I was underwhelmed (I am a foodie). Service was fast & cheap with my lunch coming in under $10 and me out the door in under 30 minutes. Complimentary soup (shrimp I think) is bland while the spring-roll is good...the dipping sauce could use more acidity or less sweetness. My bowl of complimentary soup was hastily filled as it was sitting in a saucer filled with soup. I found this out when trying to determine what dripped onto the pants of my brand new suit. The panang shrimp was flavorful but, also, poorly prepared. The bell pepper slices were all about 4-5 inches long and had to be cut down to fit the over-sized spoon they brought me. I was forced to use a spoon as the rice was made American style (dry) and could not be eaten with chopsticks. Honestly, if you don't know how to make rice you shouldn't work in a Thai restaurant. Between the spilled soup, poor preparation, lousy rice, and the bland starter soup...I would avoid this place unless you are in a bind. I will likely eat here again as my office is across the street and coworkers like eating here. Maybe the review can be raised to a 3 or 4 star after a few more trips. At the moment, it stays at 2-stars. read more

Food Taste: Really good, not overpowering. Food Order: I ordered beef and broccoli, I was brought chicken and broccoli. My wife had the shrimp and snow peas. Waiter didn't write down order which I guess it's a fifty fifty chance of getting what you want. I didn't say anything because I eat chicken too but, I ordered beef. Atmosphere was very nice, our first time there. The wrong plate brought to the table, I can get over. I have some trouble with other things. We went Feb. 13, we were sat next to the door, that's not that big of a deal, it was cold but okay. When our food made it out it was presented very well. The way they carve the flowers out of the veggies is a very nice touch. The food however was very cool around the edges ( both plates), the cold air coming in everytime the door opened only compounded this. The food piled in the center was warm, not hot, but a lot warmer than the edges. The real problem with this was that by the time we finished our plates all the food was cold. Not a big fan of cold food when I paid 30+ for cooked food. The other issue was when a couple that the staff knew came in, and it seemed as though at that time we were just part of the decor nobody seemed to notice until we started moving around. We will try again, the food taste and presentation carried you Lime Leaf. read more

I was pretty disappointed with both the service and the food on my trip here. The service was slow and the waiter refused to write down anything so he kept forgetting our order and having to come back and ask us about the specifics. Because he didn't write anything down he messed up our order and we had to send most of our food back. He even brought us the wrong drinks and had to go back and get the right drinks. I had pad thai that was overly sweet. I didn't like it at all, it tasted like it had a cup of sugar in it or something. I may have just been on a bad night, but I'm not planning to go backa nd I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. read more

The pad Thai was a poor imitation. The lettuce wraps were watery and salty. Looking for Thai food skip this place. The service was bad also.

Excellent Thai food. Excellent atmosphere. Excellent location. Excellent Service. Excellent presentation. Reasonable prices. What more can I say? Go! You will not be disappointed. 2/12/2010 - Went here recently with a group of friends for a surprise birthday celebration. It was very enjoyable. Very good Thai. Best in Spartanburg. The ambiance was accommodating and the service was attentive. The menu is varied and there is a decent wine list. Kids are welcome although the size of the restaurant and the proximity to other diners requires that they not act like kids. Our children and another couples children shared a table beside the adult table and I think that they may have disturbed a ill tempered looking older woman seated at the table next to them. It happens ;-) read more

Overall, I was pleased with my experience at the Lime Leaf. The starter soup was a bit on the bland side, but the spring roll was crispy and pretty tasty. I decided to order the red curry and while it wasn't the best red curry I have eaten, it was pretty good. Our service was not spectacular, but it was ok. Prices were very reasonable. I would certainly eat here again next time I am in town on business. read more

It was such a good deal for a lunchtime treat- soup, egg roll, and main course: can`t be beat! The waiter was attentive and we didn`t need a reservation, but parking`s tough, go for the garage if you`re hesitatin`! read more

Lime Leaf - Basil with eggplant and shrimp - Thai Near Me - Spartanburg, South Carolina

This is a fast-Thai food restaurant. I have come here many times and the food is okay. I have ordered green thai curry several times which has always been slightly watery and a pale reddish-yellow color (so much so that one time I told the waitress that she served me the wrong order, and she then told me that this indeed was the green curry :/). I have also ordered chicken Pho which is decent but I have had much better pho than this. read more

First time here. Pretty mediocre of an experience and wouldn't be back Server and staff was friendly so that wasn't an issue The restaurant has a damp smell to it... Reminds me of the inside of a building in south india. It does however have a nice decor. My girlfriend didn't notice the smell however so it must be subtle. The food was pretty much "meh". I ordered the chicken Thai basil and was excited because it had snow peas. Unfortunately it arrived luke warm with no snow peas. The flavor was ok but at 50% more expensive than the other three Thai places in town it certainly doesn't make me want to come back. My girlfriend made the mistake of ordering garlic tofu. It was garlic, green bell peppers and tofu. She should have read the menu closer as she was surprised that was all the $12.95 entree consisted of, but sure enough that was what was written on the menu. It fell very flat. Sorry but will not be back. The other Thai places in Spartanburg are better. read more

I have eaten at Line Leaf several times for lunch, and have never been disappointed. Staff is friendly and efficient. Food is excellent, great flavor, and perfect portion sized. Lunches come with an amazing soup and spring roll. There are now multiple choices for Asian food downtown, and Lime Leaf is definitely one to try. read more

Good pad thai. Service was ok. The atmosphere was very cozy. Nothing special. But would return to try other things. Update later. read more

Went for lunch. Got mild yellow beef curry lunch special. It was amazing. Came w soup which was alright kind of bland and an eggroll and rice. I opted for fried rice for the extra dollar and let me tell you I always add soy sauce to my rice but here it isn't necessary its so wonderfully seasoned plus a super creamy and tasty Thai iced tea. I looooove this place. Great value great food. read more

By far the worst Thai restaurant I have been to. Soupy noodles entirely lacking in flavor or food dripping in soy sauce. Inedible and with inattentive service to boot. read more

This was my very first visit to this restaurant. I loved the atmosphere and the service was awesome. I had the habachi steak and shrimp. Overall, it was pretty good with the exceptions, the fried rice was a little dry and the steak was a little bland. I was expecting a little more flavor considering this is a Thai restaurant. I will give them another try later in the future. read more

I had a great lunch here surprisingly. I was not looking forward to Thai but I was out voted in my party. I really liked how soon as you are seated they bring out water and complimentary soup and spring rolls, which were so good! All the food was great and the prices were fair. Only thing I would have changed is it was a little slow. There were not many people inside and it did take a little while for food to come out. But our waiter was awesome about checking in. Portions could have maybe been a little bigger as well. read more

I'm not one to write reviews (this is my first ever) but I felt compelled enough to write one after the horrid service I received attempting to pick up a takeout order. Food was not ready, waited 30 min at the restaurant for them to make the order I placed an hour earlier online, and the pad Thai was by far the worst I've ever had. Would not recommend to anyone or return again. read more

Awful service. Awful attention to detail. One star is much too high for this rude staff to at doesn't care. The food is cold and decent at its very best. Will never ever go here and please don't make the mistake of spending your money here....please. read more

Food is great - Thai inspired - not quite a hot/spicy as Thai in Thailand - we had a delicious whole grouper. Service is very friendly and attentive despite being very busy. Reasonably priced. read more

Limeleaf is our favorite date night spot! Delicious food, yummy cocktails, and very sweet waitstaff.

Amazing Thai food in downtown Spartanburg! We had the pad see-ew which was amazing!! It also came with complimentary egg roll & soup. We enjoyed the ambiance & service as well. We went for lunch, & pricing was reasonable. read more

Lime Leaf - Thai Near Me - Spartanburg, South Carolina

While visiting the area, we ordered a pick-up meal for 4. They gave a pick up time of 30 mins, but it actually took more than 1 hour. Plan accordingly. The Tom Kha soup didn't have the typical explosion of authentic flavors, and was very bland. The dumpling appetizer and yellow curry with chicken entree were very flavorful and delicious. The drunken noodles were "just okay", being mainly noodles, and very little veggies/bean sprouts/basil mixed in. We got 2 sushi rolls and they were similar in quality to what you would expect from a grocery store. Overall, the food was average. read more

Very good food but terrible customer service. Been here quite a few times but this time I did not get to eat! Got there at 2:50pm, they don't close until 3pm for lunch and then reopen for dinner at 5pm. We were turned away at the door and the hostess said they were already closed. Don't say you are closed when you advertise that you're open until 3pm. Way to keep the customer happy. You would have been better off saying that you close for lunch soon but will reopen for dinner at 5, don't lie about it. read more

I have eaten her at least a dozen times and never had a bad meal. Try the lettuce wraps. The duck is awesome too. Love the firecracker shrimp, eggplant and basil, The servers are friendly and don't mind personalizing your meal as you wish, including extra basil etc. Try to get the table in the front window for a more private setting. For dessert try the mango sticky rice, if you have never tasted it, its a treat. read more

Incredible. Joe gave great suggestions. Food was delicious. Try the blooming eggplant, and the basil and eggplant. Ask for a side of chilies. read more

Great atmosphere and good food. The Thai tea is soo good! I really enjoyed the atmosphere here and my food was fresh and tasty. Presentation was nice. It's a great place for date night. read more

We went for lunch. The service was amazing and the food was good. They were very accommodating with my food allergies. Will be back

Too slow and they messed up the order. We stopped in while house hunting for a quick lunch. It was about a quarter full and was so slow. I ordered pad Thai with chicken and it came out with tofu in it. read more

Have you ever eaten somewhere that was essentially ok but due to a comedy of errors was not the experience you hoped? We gave this place 2 chances! 1st time we never got to order! They forgot about us and we left. (There was a street festival outside and there were very busy!) I talked my husband into giving them another shot because we had a coupon. Unfortunately we went at 2:30. We mentioned the coupon and they said okay, then came back and said only good on dinner after we ordered lunch. So we order from dinner menu, same items, just dinner portions. Then she came back as soon as we are eating to say we are missing part of coupon, which 2 people have now looked at twice already Ok. I can't relax now so I jumped up and walked the block and half to car and got the book leaving my food and husband sitting. Ok. So she immediately brings the check. By now it's 3:00 and she wants to leave. I can't relax so I told her bring me a box and I'll eat at home. No it's ok, she says, eat! Nope, this lunch is not going smoothly, it's time to go. The food is ok. My husband's pad Thai lacked veggies and was a little oily but nicely seasoned. My eggplant basil dish lacked basil but eggplant was good. It was tasty with nice crunchy veggies and good flavor. (I ate it at home right out of the styrofoam container.) They initially brought me the wrong rice (I ask for brown and she read it back!) then she actually argued with me! In her defense the waitress was very young and not experienced. Since I teach school, I am pretty patient with that age, everyone has to start somewhere. I think she meant well. If the prices were quite a bit lower, this may have been more humorous. But the Lime Leaf is a kind of upscale place. I'm not saying I would never go back but let's say I probably wouldn't initiate it. Just half a block away is Monsoon Noodle House, more casual, just as good, more economical and probably our choice next time. But give it a shot, it'll likely go better. read more

Lime Leaf - Have you ever eaten somewhere that essentially was ok but due to a comedy - Thai Near Me - Spartanburg, South Carolina

See all

We were cordially greeted and seated. Our first time here so needed to try some faves. The call them fresh rolls, something I had always known as a Spring roll. The dipping sauce was just okay. The roll had a pretty big chunk of cucumber that influenced the flavor too much. Shrimp in roll needed seasoning. All-in-all I would rate the roll a 3. Won't order it again unless it gets revamped. The entree we split was the Blooming Seafood with 2 chili heat. Really good flavors and the heat was perfect. Nicely cooked shrimp, squid, scallops and mussels along with really good stir-fried veggies all served in a nest of deep fried thin noodles. This was a 4.5. If half star ratings were available I would have given Lime Leaf 3.5 stars, but the service and the seafood dish brought the rating to a 4 star review. read more

Our waitress was really sweet and helpful but the Pad Thai was by far the worst I've ever had. It had a horrible after taste and several people who tried it agreed. I told the waitress I did not care for it and she didn't offer to bring me something else or remove the $15 item from our ticket. Overall extremely bad experience and will absolutely not go back. read more

Horrible service from the waiter named joe. He kept addressing me as man. For example how was the food man? Spicy enough man? You would think as a waiter, he would have learned how to respectfully address customers. Not only was the service bad, my friend ordered the pad see ew and eww it was. It was drenched in soy sauce. I had ordered my dish to be extra spicy but when my friend was asked by the waiter, the waiter assumed he wanted extra spicy too. My friend said not extra spicy but that didn't mean he wanted zero spice. Awful experience. The decor of the place is nice, that's probably the only good thing I have to say and the other lady working seemed to be friendly. Other than that, this place was unbelievably forgettable. read more

I'm not sure if this is authentic thai food or what. The pros, server was attentive, food came out pretty fast. We were there during Spring Fling so it got a bit busy. Cons, food quality and taste were not what I'm used to at thai restaurants. I ordered vegetable pad thai and it was watery, very few veggies, tasted like it was cooked in some sort of fish sauce which kind of turned me off and the noodles were either very overcooked or not the right pad thai noodles. If I returned to Spartanburg I don't think I'd go back. I know there's other thai restaurants and they would be my first choice but like most restaurants in Spartanburg, those close between lunch and dinner. read more

Went for dinner. Our first time here. We were seated promptly--although we had to listen to a listless and overly noisy weight staff during our entire meal. That aside, a nice, cozy interior. The menu has a lot of attractive options, but rather pricey all around. I ordered the spicy seafood dish. It arrived quickly but not entirely warmed through. Some worry here. The spice level was mild-medium with no condiment options to actually bump up to "spicy". The mussels were large and tender; the shrimp were nicely cooked, although with tails on and some shell; and the calamari few and forgettable. The veggies were cooked down quite a bit and, as previously mentioned, not entirely up to temp. The sauce was ok--quite salty. With Monsoon and Lemongrass kitchen nearby and much more affordable, I don't think we'll rush back. Although, I've heard good things about their Curries, so we'll see. read more

A small and well decorated bistro style restaurant. The food and service were excellent. A definite do over.

Was looking forward to eating here for about a year but hadn't gotten around to it. Well we must have missed the "good times" or something. My husband and I had dinner here on a Friday night around 5:30pm. We fist ordered chicken satay and when it came out it looked and tasted like chicken jerky. No flavor and terribly dry. Not even the peanut sauce could help it. For dinner I ordered the spicy beef and vegetables and hubby ordered chicken red curry. We both got brown rice. The brown rice was the best part of the meal. Seriously. Nice and nutty but probably only about 1/2 cup each. His curry was tasty but nothing special. My spicy beef was terrible. It wasn't even as spicy as the curry but the menu indicated it was supposed to be one of the hottest dishes. Service was ok but we definitely won't be going back. So disappointed. The decor was nice though. read more

A bit pricey, but the Thai tea and chicken salad was great! Had the dumpling appetizer as well and was delicious.
