Eat at your own risk!…read more Found this place on yelp because it was near my hotel. I've been to many Thai places in my life, as well as a few in this area, and I have to say that I am extremely disappointed. I ordered the beef Pad Kee Mao, and asked for a level 6/10 spice level, which I always get. I also added extra noodles for about $5. When I got back to the hotel to eat, I was not only surprised at how little the food portions were, even with the $5 extra noodles charge, but also disgusted by the quality of the food. The noodles were clumped together, and had the consistency of baked potatoes. The beef was bland, and to top it off, the dish was WAY too spicy to even eat another bite. My wife and I can handle spice, especially Thai spice, but this was completely inedible. I called the restaurant to see if they could help me, and the owner said that it was too bad, and that there was nothing he would do for me. I think I can partially understand why they are so cheap and stingy, as the place was completely empty during prime dinner time. TL;DR Horrible food & horrible service. Highly do NOT recommend.

It was just a few pieces scattered throughout the dish. The noodles themselves were bland and dry. I recooked the food and seasoned it and it was better! I added sesame oil, chili crunch, garlic,kewpie, green onions, and sauce. The leftover bowl came out as one big stuck together noodle when we opened it. So we ate it kinda clumped together. If they'd add more sauce and flavor to the dishes, it could be more enjoyable. Or even offer a side of sauce to add extra if needed, that would be good. I prefer to order their food and spruce it up myself saving me time instead of cooking a whole meal. But it would be nice if it came ready to eat and tasty. It's not the worst, it just needs something to make it pop!

But I saw the…read morerecent reviews and was a little cautious it would be a terrible experience- and when we arrived on a Friday night only one other family was there further making me believe it will be bad. But that was so far from the truth!!! This was the BEST Thai restaurant I've ever tried here in Virginia Beach! The service was also incredible! The place is clean and very spacious. We ordered fresh spring rolls, fried spring rolls, lava shrimp, tom yum and pad Thai. Nothing was greasy, the shrimp was cooked excellent and weren't the tiny shrimp. They also give very nice portion sizes. I also couldn't believe how quick the food came. We will be back and this is our new Thai food spot!

Our waitress was friendly, and Toi exceeded our expectations, helping create one of the best dining experiences we've had in a while. The drinks arrived quickly, followed shortly by our food. We started with the calamari and fried pork wontons. Both appetizers were delicious and authentic. The pork wontons were packed with flavorful meat--no cream cheese filler--and were absolutely fantastic. The calamari was lightly breaded and paired perfectly with the authentic Thai sriracha sauce. The star of the evening was the crab fried rice. It was packed with flavor and perfectly prepared. My husband ordered the spicy duck stir-fry, which was fresh, tender, and had no gamey flavor whatsoever. The kids shared the chicken Pad Thai, and it was amazing--well-balanced, flavorful, and not overly sweet. The portion size was generous enough for four kids to share comfortably. I ordered the spicy shrimp, which had the perfect combination of spicy, sweet, and salty flavors. Every dish we tried was fresh, flavorful, and expertly prepared. Overall, this restaurant delivered outstanding food, excellent service, and a wonderful dining experience. We'll definitely be back for another amazing meal in the future! P.S don't forget the Thai tea . Yum !
