This place is easy to find because it's a colorful building. Parking was super easy and the women inside were so sweet! I didn't have to ring a bell and I didn't feel there was a language barrier at all. Once woman seemed to do the most communicating so maybe one of the others weren't as fluent based on other reviews. Anyway, we ordered two red curries, two green curries (one was to go) and Pad Thai. I wasn't sure if the to-go order was going to come out with our meals, but it was delivered right when I paid, which was appreciated. The curries weren't spicy, not even the to-go green curry which was ordered spicy. My daughters really liked the tofu in the green curry and we got plenty of shrimp in our red curry. I tasted my son's Pad Thai and it was really good. The portions aren't huge and the meals are perfectly proportioned and priced, in my opinion. The staff were super friendly and the meals didn't take long at all. We will return, and often. I am looking forward to trying other items. read more

Thought I'd try it based on the Yelp reviews . Ordered pad Thai and Tom Kha soup. Tom Kha was very good and had that delicious fish sauce funk that I love. My favorite of the 2 things I ordered. Pad Thai was one-note. Too sweet. No other discernible flavors. Disappointed considering all the reviewers who said it was the best they've ever had. They must not have had too many. Least favorite pad Thai I've ever had. Might go back again to try something else- might not . read more

Simply put, this is the best Thai food I've ever had. Don't be fooled by the bland store front or cell phone sales ads on the door. It's more than worth the stop in. read more

Great food! Happened upon unexpectedly, but glad I did. Thought I'd tried all of the Thai restaurants in the area, this one is definitely the best by far. 4 months later, I'm still driving down here several times per week. Really should not be missed. Lyeh has become my go-to place. read more

Best pad Thai I've ever had! I'm so sad I can only try one thing at a time. Can't wait to come back!

I chose the restaurant because it already had great reviews. The food was amazing, the staff was friendly and their service was incredible. They substituted everything that had meat in the original order with tofu per my request without difficulty. I highly recommend this place. read more

Pad Kra Pao was great. Full of flavor and spice, but not too spicy. Made fresh while I waited, which wasn't long at all. Don't be discouraged by all the phone ads you see on the windows, lol. read more

This is the worst service I have ever experienced at a restaurant. I came into be seated for a meal. The staff completely ignored me for maybe ten minutes. They saw me come in and stand waiting to be helped, then disappeared into the kitchen for several minutes. I sat there waiting forever it seemed while a waiter took a family's order than even served them their food without asking me if I need any help. Wow. Finally I ordered some food so I am waiting to see how good it will be. Either way there is no way it'll be good enough to make up for the horrible service. So the one star review will stand.update: the food was amazing omg read more

Best Thai food in Akron. Prices are great. Little bit of a language barrier but if you are patient everything works. BYOB.

Oh my gosh! I drive past this place every day to and from work. Today I ordered some carryout drunken noodles. Delicious! I wasn't sure what to expect as far as heat level. It had no spice at all. Next time I'll ask for some spice. They had my order ready in 10 minutes and were so friendly. From the outside this place looks like they are going to try and sell me a new phone but thankfully it was only advertising for another store in the plaza. read more

Love this little spot in Akron!! This mom and pop shop serving Thai cuisine is pretty authentic. This place is a hidden gem. The only thing they lack help. The couple are very passionate about the quality of food. I always ask for very spicy though. Be careful because it's really hot!!! Enjoy ...,, read more

I'm pretty disappointed that I didn't get to try this place! The other reviewers were right about the cell phone as disguising the storefront, but other than that it was easy to find. When I walked in the were two tables of customers eating, but no staff that I could see. I ended up waiting ten minutes and the others customers and I kept making awkward eye contact with each other and then looking at the door to the kitchen. No one ever came out of it though so I left. read more

Omg! Amazing Thai food in Akron AT LAST!!!! We ordered pad Thai, pad see ew, Tom kha, pad woon sen, red curry, and pho. We loved it all. The pad Thai is flavorful and not too sweet, pad see ew was yummy, the pho had amazing spice profile. The pad woon sen was new to us and turned out to be our favorite of the noodles- great texture and flavor. The number one favorite dish was the red curry- it has a really delicate fragrant flavor- almost like jasmine. Really lovely. I liked the peas in it too. Our least favorite was the Tom kha soup, which was a bit too salty, but we still liked it and would order it again. It's a takeout place, but the eating area is actually a nice size and looks pretty nice. The women working there are super nice and have a cute little son. And did I mention it is cheap too? All that food only came to $45. Highly recommended!!!! So excited we have this place- let's support good food, Akron! read more

See all

We just discovered this restaurant and it has become our favorite Thai food in Northeast Ohio by far! The Pad Thai was easily the best we've ever had, as was the Tom Yum soup. The flavors were fresh and bright. You won't be disappointed with Lyeh! read more

Best Thai food in Akron! Hands down! And the lady who runs the place is one of the nicest people I've ever met!! read more

Lyeh Thai Restaurant - Thai Near Me - Akron, Ohio

I really enjoyed this place. Very authentic Thai food. I ordered the shrimp Pad Thai with a medium spicy level, and it was great. Beware if you are not one to like spice, as even medium level was very spicy compared to other Thai places I have been to. I called my order in and it was ready extremely quick! Will visit again soon. read more

As previous reviewers have said, don't let the lack of curb appeal keep you from venturing into Lyeh. Once inside, you will find a few tables and one menu at the counter where you will order your meal. A large framed Beacon Journal restaurant review hangs on the wall, showering the owner with praise for her food and telling her story of coming to the US as a refugee. The atmosphere was quiet and quaint, and the food cooked to perfection and bursting with fresh lemon grass, ginger, and basil. I am happy to say that our meal was excellent and I am looking forward to my next visit to Lyeh. read more

Best Pad Thai in Akron area hands down!

On my first visit, I had to call from my cell phone to get somebody to come out to the counter to take my order. Had the papaya salad, chicken larb, and tofu green curry. I waited about 15 minutes, and it came to about $21. Everything was yummy - I'll try the pad thai and drunken noodles on my next visit! I'm glad there's another new restaurant on North Hill (I miss Thai Pho and China House) and I'll be happy to order from them again! read more

Found this new place and dine in with friend for dinner. I order their Kwan Teaw Soup which is Pho and it was good! The place didn't have much of decorations. The service is great and very friendly! read more

Best Thai food we have found in Ohio! We've been to Thailand and lived in Los Angeles for many years with awesome, authentic thaifoos and this is definitely up there with the best. Very, very good! Will be back. read more

Small little establishment - but dam their pork fried rice was awesome - for the price wow!

I have been to Thailand and this food is authentic, excellent and delicious! Nice owners as well. Give it a try for eat-in or take-out.

This is by far the most delicious Thai I've had in a decade. It's healthy, fresh, crisp, and clean. The spices were flavorful and complex and added by talented hands. I highly recommend the papaya salad, it was exactly what I was looking for on a murky winters night. Everyone is very nice, service is prompt, and I was blown away by the dishes we ordered! 5 stars! read more

This is the worst customer service I've ever been to. I ordered the drunken noodle that suppose to be wide rice noodle but I got the egg noodle instead. I called and they said that's the kind of noodle they made in their drunken noodle which is the worst!!!! Called again cannot return or exchanged. Bad bad bad bad bad bad bad!!!!! The lady up front yelled at me and said if you want another one you have to buy a new one.. really????? I wish I can put a neg star!!! read more

This place is so delicious! The portions are generous and the the prices are great. We came for the pho. It was by far the best we've ever had and we've tried many places. It had such great flavor. We'll definitely be back to try more dishes. read more

Delicious food for a good price! We love eating here at least once a week. This is our go to Thai restaurant in the Akron area. I usually order the soup, pad thai or the drunken noodles with a thai tea! read more

Best Thai food I have found in the Akron area! I have been driving past this place and have wanted to check it out-and finally did after reading the yelp reviews. I had an egg roll and the chicken pad Thai and both were delicious. The pad Thai had just the right amount of spice and I asked for mild. And the prices can't be beat either! I will definitely be coming back here again. I recommend it to anyone craving Thai! read more

Nice family owned restaurant. Ordered beef Pho & Chicken Phontakeout. Very tasty and filling, additional hot spice provided too. Will be back to try other entrees. read more

Papaya salad is the best compared to the other local Thai restaurants. If you have not tried it, you must try it. Space is small but flavor and taste is huge. Friendly service staff, too. Enjoy!! read more

The food is amazing and spiced perfectly. I was driving out for lunch and stopped on a whim. I was greeted warmly and my food was ready in 5 minutes! I ordered Drunken Noodle w/chicken and the portion was generous. They have only been open for around 8 weeks, so the interior is still sort of a work in progress. Very clean place and very friendly staff. I will be back! read more

Amazing and fast authentic Thai food! Reasonable prices, too! We had papaya salad, cashew chicken, and the best pad Thai I have ever had! They don't go for drills on decor, I think they spend all their time on the food. Great place! read more
