    Panang Curry
    Tiffany N.

    Totally wasn't expecting a stellar Thai smack dab in the middle of downtown Carmel, but what do you know, it exists! we did family style when we were here to get the most variety from the menu, and everything was absolutely wonderful! We started with the fried tofu and crab Rangoon, then got chicken pad, Thai medium spice, and veggie Panang curry, medium spice as well. Everything was solid and flavorful. I wish we would have had more room in our bellies to eat more since we couldn't finish it all! Service was excellent as well, really nice ladies working there.

    Drunken noodles #26 on the menu

    This is the second time I have gone here. First- what a great location - literally on the Monon which is great as they do have a small outside patio. I had the drunken noodles and a Thai iced coffee. Both were excellent. If you have never tried the iced coffee, do yourself a favor and give it a try. It is made with sweetened condensed milk and is delicious. The inside of the restaurant is very nice and a bit upscale. Service was excellent. Others in my party had the basil fried rice and the pad Thai. They both really enjoyed their meals.

    I met a friend for dinner, and we're both kinda high maintenance with our very specific dietary restrictions. In fact, we were going to share an app but couldn't settle on one that met both of our criteria--ha! Now that I mention it, I was here about a year ago with yet another friend who also has some drastic dietary restrictions. The reason it's worth noting is because the staff here readily accommodates our requests with no questions asked. The food comes out quickly, yet it's made fresh to order. For example, I was able to order the coconut soup without cilantro and the red curry with no onions. And even without those ingredients, the food was full of flavor. We've tried others but Pad Thai is our go-to.

    Spicy Basil Fried Rice with Chicken
    Kimberly F.

    This is my favorite Thai place in Indy! I have been going here for years and they are always amazing. The service is great and the waitress always knows our orders. Everything on the menu is delicious! I always get the spicy basil fried rice, but I highly recommend to try the basil fish. The decorations are so cute (see picture attached) and they always have nice music playing. The restaurant is kind of hidden in downtown Carmel, but it's right across Bub's. There's also a free parking garage under the restaurant. I love that the restaurant is in downtown Carmel, because you can talk a walk down the Monon or to Midtown to relax after eating. Definitely try this restaurant, it will be your new favorite Thai place!

    Pad Kee Mao
    Shruti P.

    Impressive ambiance and even better delicious menu. I haven't had such mouth watering Pad Thai in a while. We ordered a veggie Pad Thai (with eggs) and a chicken Pad Kee Mao (beautiful plating for this one). Both were belly-happy good with quite filling portions. Although I had to box 1/3 of the food, which made a great dinner. Can't wait to go back and try more of the menu. PS. It's located in the heart of downtown of Carmel with many street parking options and a public parking lot nearby.

    Crab Rangoon

    Chicken Pad Thai 7.87/10 ~ good pad Thai but definitely have had better. I prefer one with lots of sauce and lots of green onions. For the convince & portion size it's pretty solid. - Basil Fried Rice 7.87/10 ~ pretty good basil rice - Crab Ragoons 8.5/10 ~ waiting for the day I have a bad crab ragoon. Bet I could get like 25 - Red Curry 7/10 ~ got it mild and it is destroying my mouth. Flavor is good, wish the veggies were cooked a little longer so they were soft. Can't imagine what medium or hot taste like. - Orange Chicken 2/10 ~ bad. Brought down overall restaurant rating immensely. It was the thickest batter then the chicken on the inside was like minced. So strange. Awful texture.

    I'm a fan of Pad Thai -- the dish and now the restaurant. Ordered take out for dinner and it was ready in about 15 minutes. The lady taking our order was very friendly and helpful, even making jokes that had us laughing. We ordered crab rangoons for an appetizer and I got the chicken pad thai. The crab rangoons were heavenly. Honestly every time I have them, I forget how underrated they are, and these were up there with the best. The chicken pad thai was also delicious, and definitely enough for two meals (which is always a plus). They have 4 spice levels (mild, medium, hot, extra hot). I got the medium but still added a decent amount of sriracha to give it more of a kick, so I would increase the level of spiciness next time. Here's to hoping that Pad Thai sticks around downtown Carmel for many years to come.

    Pad Thai chicken

    I recently moved to Carmel and my first restaurant to visit was the Pad Thai restaurant. We both ordered a pad Thai and pad see ewe with chicken and the amount of food did not disappoint! Service was awesome and fast but we were not there during peak hours. Ambiance was nice but didn't have anything original about it. Overall great I loved the flavor!

    Helen X.

    Interior decor is very cute, table centerpieces, lights, and whole set up in the front. Convenient and central location. Good service, good variety offered on the menu. I loved how the rice came in a heart shape, but the rice itself wasn't that great. The curry was better, the meat was good. There was a leak in the ceiling but they did try to contain it. Probably won't visit again but wasn't bad for a one time visit.

    Red Curry

    Best lunch spot in Carmel! The service is always great and the food never disappoints. The Red Curry and Yellow Curry are a must-try

    This is a gem of a restaurant in the heart of Carmel! So many people came in to get takeout while we were dining in. We love the pad Thai and the red curry so much flavor and spice!

    Some of the best pad Thai I've been able to experience in Indy. It's a far drive for me so when I'm on that side of town I always stop by.

    The photos look like this is a nice sit-down restaurant. Can people order take-out here?

    Hello. Yes - tons of people do carry out. In fact, I would bet that most of their business is carry out. By the way, their fried rice is the best I've ever had.

    Great service and amazing food. Best Thai restaurant in Carmel. Fast service and excellent ambiance!read more

    You know your girl ordered the pad Thai. I almost felt bad, like a person who has no imagination…read more There are dozens and dozens of other Thai dishes on the menu at Thai Season, and each of them sounded tasty, but I felt drawn to the pad Thai. I also felt like I had to order it for "the people," meaning you all who are reading this review and looking for good pad Thai. I am always searching for the best pad Thai, and I'm sure others are too, so it felt like a public service. They have some very good pad Thai here at Thai Season. I forgot to order it with steamed rice, like I usually do with pad Thai (carbs on carbs). But even without rice, it was delicious and well-balanced. This pad Thai was not too sweet, which was a blessing. There's nothing worse than a too-sweet pad Thai! (Not really, but you know what I mean.) I ordered it mild, and it was indeed mild. We also got the laad nah, which is broad, flat noodles cooked with cabbage, broccoli, carrots and mushrooms in a brown gravy. It was super tasty, almost like a stew with noodles. It was ordered medium spicy, and I thought it was indeed medium spicy! The spice levels here seem to be right on. The Thai iced tea is great -- sweet and creamy. If you've never had a Thai iced tea, you should definitely try one. The decor and service is top-notch. There's a full bar here, so it seems like a nice place to pop in and get a drink, even if you're not here to eat a full meal.

    It can be difficult to judge the service when you're with a big group, especially when the…read morerestaurant is unusually busy. But for however long we had to wait for everything (menus, drinks, to order, our food, the checks), the food made up for it! When I visit a new-to-me Thai restaurant, I usually get the pad Thai or convince someone I'm dining with to get the pad Thai so I can try it. Pad Thai is my litmus test! The pad Thai here at Chiang Mai Thai Noodle was excellent. Perhaps some of the best pad Thai I've eaten in Indy. It wasn't too sweet, which was nice. Sometimes, pad Thai can get a little cloying, but this one was perfectly balanced. I got it with shrimp, which were great and perfectly cooked. Like I mentioned, I visited with a big group. We all got something different, and I also got to try the Crispy Spring Roll. They ain't kidding -- this is one crispy spring roll. The outside shatters with every bite. I think when I come back, I'm definitely getting my own order of these. Other people at my table got things like curry, tom kha soup and crispy basil duck, and every person loved their dishes. The portion sizes are also huge! I feel like you can't go wrong with anything on the menu, here. One thing to note: Their spice level goes from 1 to 6, with 6 being the hottest. A couple of us wanted mild and chose a 2, and it was way too spicy! So if you truly want a mild dish, just go with a 1.

    Went this past week and was surprised about a few things: 1)…read moreWhen ordering online about 1.5 years ago, it was super expensive. In-person, its definitely a reaosnalbe price. 2) Portion sizes: They are MASSIVE. I was able to get two full meals out of it, and that is saying a lot.
