Outside parking lot at 5pm. No cars and No customers inside!
Rex S.

Stopped in today and placed it to go order. I've eaten at this restaurant on an offer for years. It has done nothing besides go downhill for the last several years. Food is mediocre at best. The place is due for a remodel. Is it just flat filthy in there. Service some of the worst service I've ever seen in my life. I placed my order paid with a card, sat down and waited for a few minutes and then I asked the cashier if I could get a glass of water while I wait The cashier looked at me and said that'll be one dollar. I said really you're gonna charge me a dollar for water while I wait for my food? They said well it's bottled water. 24 packs of bottled water at Sam's or Walmart cost three dollars that works out to be $.15 apiece. was losing a repeat customer worth that .15 cents? That question is for the restaurant manager. I won't be back.

The food was amazing and fresh. The service was outstanding. We will definitely make this a regular stop when we are eating out. Keep up the excellent service.

Peanut butter chicken and yellow curry
Lindsay L.

Don't let the outside fool ya! We moved here from Nebraska and I have looked everywhere for Peanut Butter Chicken and this is the only place I have found it! If you like peanut butter this is SO good!!! 100% recommend. the cheese stars are full of cream cheese. my husband got the yellow curry and likes it. We will be back!

Egg rolls
Kylie W.

Been back three times in the past few months. The curries are absolutely delicious and the portions are generous. Sweet tea is the perfect balance of sweet. The fried chicken options are always crispy and the egg rolls yall... so good.

Peanut Butter Chicken
Ashley S.

Pleasantly surprised by this place. I also love that they have a drive thru. Haven't been able to find many good Asian restaurants here so far but this one is definitely worth trying. I got the peanut butter chicken with an egg roll and boy oh boy was it tasty! The staff was also very nice.

Spring rolls, pad Thai, fried rice, cheese stars
Rachel D.

This place is cheap and GOOD quality food. They have dinner and lunch specials that come with everyone's favorite appetizers: egg roll and a cheese star. I paid 8.99 plus tax for a plate FULL of fresh and amazing general Tao's plus fried rice and a spring roll and a cheese star. That's a really good deal for the portions. We also got the pad Thai which is a classic. I found it a tad too sweet, but that's personal preference as well. I prefer a peanutier sauce. It was well cooked and still tasted great! Service was good, I asked to be in a less well lit booth and the waitress offered to shut the blinds for me and everything.

Glass noodle pad Thai
Olivia G.

Went through the drive thru to grab lunch during my lunch break. Gal at the window was very friendly! Got the glass noodle pad Thai. Can't say I would call it a pad Thai, not at all traditional, but it was good! Very sweet. A lot of veggies in it. The glass noodles were thick, I've never had them like this, but I really liked the texture and flavor of them. Would happily come back to try more items!

Pho with glass noodles and chicken
Eunice A.

Anything we've ordered here has been great. The pho is good. How can you go wrong. The staff are friendly. Accommodated special orders. Tons of vegan options.

Super sweet Thai joint with a helluva lot of variety and a very kind owner/chef running the place…read more Had the pumpkin curry on a particularly desolate, October day, and it soothed my cold soul. My comrade had the Mama Rama fried noodles, and they hit the spot. Our order of steamed dumplings to start ourselves off was also quite tasty. I'll be back to dig the sushi!

This review is for the Holcomb location (I heard there is a food truck somewhere but i haven't been…read moreto it yet) This has become one of my favorite hidden gems discovered for lunch recently. The location is super convenient for me, and they don't close for lunch/school (unlike Rein) What this means that it means if I'm going to be eating out on a weekday during the workweek I'm going to probably be really hungry as 3 pm rolls around... I saw the high ratio of five star reviews Kin Zabb has been getting on here and decided I had to give it a go. I honestly had very low expectations being that it was so small and in a little shopping centre but take a look at the menu! It's quite a bit of stuff and I've enjoyed everything i've tried so far. The owner seems like a really nice guy. I had been itching to try a poke bowl for the first time somewhere and I went with raw salmon bowl and really enjoyed it... half and half sauce (half sweet half spicy mayo, give it a shot!) I asked what was good and what the people who work there like and so far the suggestion to try the Sea Roll was a solid choice... Love the spicy mayo and eel sauce here (i'm not an expert!) These tempura shrimp based rolls were one of my favorites of all time. Today, I got the Brownie California Roll as I was curious to try the eel, and enjoyed it fearing it would maybe be overpoweringly fishy it really wasn't. Since I tend to stop by here late and well past noon i can't tell you what the normal lunch hour is like, but the times i've dropped in it was pretty much just me and the hired help. Food is made to order and delivered pretty quickly. Give it a shot and keep coming back to keep this place going! Fantastic rolls here 5/5

This is a small restaurant with about 6 -7 tables with available parking. I had the pad thai and it was the best i ever had! Amazing flavors! Owner gave us a mini ice cream at the end of the meal.

Well, my review has changed. I decided to revisit Thai Delight, and now I highly recommend this…read morerestaurant. This time I had their Pad Thai. It was excellent! I have been to a bunch of Thai restaurants in NWA and had their Pad Thai .... this one is the best I have had. Perfect sweetness. Perfect noodles. Perfect spicy-ness. My buddies had pineapple fried rice and they scarfed it down and enjoyed it. Next time, I am going to get something a bit different. Stretch my tastebuds a bit. The atmosphere is nothing to look at. Fairly plain. A few things on the walls. But, when the food is good, who cares?! The service is just a sweet lady and her mom. Both attended to us, and were very enjoyable. They made sure to make note that Thai Delight is the only true Thai in NWA. I have no way to judge that since I have never been to Thailand, but I'll take their word for it. lol The reason for the 4-stars is because I have one complaint and two recommendations for Thai Delight --- Complaint: I paid almost $50 for three of us to eat for lunch. That seems a bit steep. The food was great and the portions are generous, and the service was enjoyable, but (man!!) those prices are high. --- Recommendation #1: you have to pay for drinks (bottled!), even for water. I would have appreciated free water. --- Recommendation #2: many people came in and wanted a quick lunch meal. Thai Delight very clearly advertises that they don't do quick meals. I think they should. Made a a quick fried rice that is premade and ready to serve for those who want a 15-20min lunch stop. Thai delight would make more money if they did this, and can still service those of us who don't mind the wait. Anyway, this place is highly recommended and might have just become my favorite Thai restaurant in NWA.

If you love Thai food like I do, this is the place to go. The menu is pretty full, but a couple of…read moredishes stand out. One of them is the green curry. I like to get mine with pork, but you can pick your protein. Plenty of veggies are in there and the curry is out of this world. I always get my Thai pretty mild but I can still savor all the spices in this dish. The Pad Thai is delicious, too. You've also got to try their soup and the Vietnamese, Chinese and Laotian aspects of the menu. The ambiance is pretty casual, but cozy. The servers are quick and friendly!

Straightforward Asian food with Thia, Chinese, Lao and other regional dishes. Kind of an Asian…read morediner located in the middle of a small strip mall. Lots of options on the menu designed like a diner menu too. I don't know if that was on purpose but it had a nostalgic vibe. Our son and his family who live nearby said they eat here frequently so we decided to join them for lunch. Everything was pretty good although we thought we had to wait a bit longer than average. Some of the dished were a bit minimal but still tasty. For example they served Pad Thai without any nuts on it, I'd never seen that on a dish tht typically has chopped peanuts on top or stirred in. Still everything we had was good and there was almost no leftovers at the end of the meal, alwyas a good sign. I don't consider this a date night or fancy place to take vendors, cleints or out of towners to impress. But a place to take family and friends or for take-out on a Thursday night. Good food, plainly presented and a typical, clean and a little too warm dining room. Still worth adding to your rotation if you live nearby.

Well Yelpers, I've found my new fave Northwest Arkansas restaurant! TBH, I wasn't sure what to expect when I arrived. It looked like a modernized restaurant with an open kitchen. I opened the door to the restaurant and waited to check in and a handsome young boy asked if I had reservations and I advised I didn't and he asked if I wanted to sit indoor or outdoor. He grabbed a menu and helped me to my table. I was quickly greeted by a staff member and given a glass of water and was told that there isn't an assigned server but that multiple staff members will work together to attend my table. After eating American and Italian food all week on my business travels, I was craving some authentic simple home cooked food and this location brought me virtually home for dinner. For those of you that know me or have been following my review journey, have gotten to know my household ethnicities. When I saw the House 1830 Menu, it was a delightful mix of Vietnamese and Laotian food! The color purple was present from accent walls by the kitchen to my cloth napkin on the plate sets, to the "seasonal" menu font color all tie together with staff uniforms including the outdoor purple umbrella above the outdoor seating space. They even have custom pillows on the bench seating with the House 1830 logos. Susana, one of the owners came to greet me and asked if I've been here before or if it's my first time. She shared that her husband Binh was the head chef today and many patrons typically think it's a fusion restaurant but it's really a family inspired menu that keeps the food as authentic as possible. Binh is Vietnamese and their sister in law Bé is Laotian. I didn't have the pleasure of meeting Bé as she was celebrating her birthday elsewhere as she should. Susana shared that her contribution is the inspired cocktail menu...which had so many yummy options that you don't see anywhere else. They had a Lychee Martini on the menu but I see it often everywhere so I ordered the Longan Martini to try and it was delish! I started with my roots and ordered a Vietnamese House Sampler described as a sampling of the crowd favorite starters. Cha Gio | Mini Banh Xeo | Bo Xien Tam for $21. The eggrolls were crispy and had the right amount of filling well seasoned, the Bite-size Banh Xeo shrimp crepes was light and the flash fried marinated beef skewers were seasoned to perfection with a family marinade. Lettuce, cilantro, mint along with the various nuoc cham (dipping sauces) were great! I didn't want to fill up as I wanted one of my favorite Lao dishes Nam Khao - Crispy red curry seasoned rice combined with small chunks of cured pork, and spices. It comes with lettuce, mint, cilantro where you can eat it like a lettuce wrap or eat it as is like fried rice for $18. This light entree for me hit the spot. The staff was exceptional, occasionally stopping g by to check if my water was ok or if I needed anything. I went to check out the bathroom to wash my hands and thought the wall murals were trendy and happy to see the restrooms were clean. I stopped at the open kitchen and complimented the chef and his staff on my delicious meal. They were very cheery and thankful for the compliment. Went back to my table and contemplated another cocktail or dessert but I was really beyond stuffed and figured I'll be back and to save options for my next visit. Chef Binh stopped by my table and we started talking about a little of everything. The restaurant concept, the seasonally inspired menu and to keep things fun for regular diners, shhhh....you didn't hear it from me...but there's even a secret menu that changes often! You'll have to ask or sign up to get the details! You don't get many seasonal menu options from Asian restaurants so I love that they have a seasonal menu and a secret one that only the special members know about! Come check out House 1830! You will not be disappointed yes, I'll be back to visit Binh, Susana and team! Thanks for the hospitality! Thank you, Zerric for the best recommendation! Xoxo
