I was passing through the area on a trip, and had stopped for the night in Natchez. The folks at my hotel were not very helpful in suggesting a place to eat that wasn't the Popeye's next door, and when I am traveling I don't go to chains if I can help it... I like to get flavors from locally owned places! Fortunately when scanning through Yelp I found Planet Thailand, situated in downtown Natchez. I easily found my way there, and parking was available for me right outside, so no issues there. However, walking in the door, it turned out the place was kind of slammed! Multiple big parties were seated, and the two servers were definitely in the weeds. I was still seated in relatively short order, and sat perusing the menu for a while before my order was taken. I didn't have any problem with this, as I didn't have anything else to do for the evening except go back to my hotel room. I ordered the tom yum soup and the red curry. I tried to order the summer rolls as well, but they were off the menu for the evening due to how busy things were. I understood that... they are time consuming to make and things were a bit insane at the time. The tom yum soup is an interesting dish, and very regional it seems. I don't think I have ever been to two different restaurants where it is made the same. In this case, they had chopped up baby corn in the soup, which is something I have never experienced before. It wasn't bad... just different. The red curry was pretty standard fare. No one ever believes me when I ask for it thai hot, and I always seem to have to add more chili to it to bring it up to my standards... this was no different, much to the horror of my server. The only complaint I had was that one of the servers (not mine, thankfully) had a voice that was a bit on the loud side, and his method of dealing with patrons was, shall we say, uncouth. It was not the kind of service experience I would ever want in a restaurant like this... perhaps it would work in a diner that has a reputation for loud and abrasive service as a theme, but not in a Thai restaurant. The food was good, the service I received was good, I would say just be on the lookout for loud-mouthed wait staff and request someone else if he is handling you. read more

We went there for lunch and ordered 2 lunch plates (paid extra for a tiny bowl of soup and a spring roll) and a Pad Thai....lunch portions were the smallest I have ever seen. The Pad Thai was ok, but the rest were horrible. We were hungry and for $72 we forced ourselves to finished the food. Never again we will come back! read more

Good in a pinch, it was a rainy day and I was craving Thai in town from Houston. I needed some soup to warm my bones. It was good the ginger and the tummy. Yum was on point but the ingredients of the bulk was far from when I'm used to. it is well decorated, definitely some conversations starters. Our server was having to tend to someone who was definitely inebriated and kept walking from their table to the bar and was not quiet about it, but our waitress was sweet and they eventually asked to leave. read more

Slow to be seated, slow to order, reasonble prep time, unimpressive food, however the waiter tried to be attentive.

Great place! Quite the surprise find in this historic town! Really good and polite service . Food was sooooo good with very generous servings! Interesting decor and relaxing environment for a meal and conversation.. they do take reservations if you need a special time or table! read more

Adored everything we had. Service great ambiance was amazing with perfect service. Restaurant is so pretty and they have plants and such out front that you forget you are in Mississippi and feel like you have been transported to Thailand read more

We stopped in on a Saturday for lunch. The drunken noodles with chicken and shrimp were great ! The wife loved the pineapple fried rice. They even brought out more roasted chili garlic to addd to my noodles for more spice ! read more

Planet Thailand is a great Asian choice in downtown Natchez! As their name would suggest, they have Thai food. Being from Baton Rouge, where we have a lot of good Thai choices, I can say their Thai menu is very nice. They have a good selection and the dishes are very fresh and tasty. My favorites are always the noodle dishes, and these are great at Planet Thailand. But the choices don't end there. There are also a number of Vietnamese options, including fresh Spring Rolls and Summer Rolls. These make a great appetizer choice. Other Asian options include fried rices, and soups. However, it seems that a lot of people come to Planet Thailand for the sushi. They have some beautiful rolls! The presentation on some of these is really nice, they seem to really go to extra effort to make them look spectacular. The service is prompt and friendly, and the decor is refreshing and eclectic. Planet Thailand offers a deliciously different option in Natchez, and is worth visiting while you are downtown. read more

We were the first customers. Placed the order and after everyone else's food is served they tell me my selection is not available so I stick to a sushi roll. It was served after everyone else had finished eating w a mere apology. Horrible service but everyone else did enjoy their meals at least, I wouldn't know. read more

we got food to go here, and it was so great. Orange chicken, wasabi shumai, tom gha, spring rolls, and it was all delightful. I'm a thai food snob, so imagine my surprise when I found this spot, and got my thai on. Many people come here for the sushi, and we will next time in town. I had a few drinks, and a little crunchy she brought me while waiting on the house. Lovely atmosphere, busy as all get out, and I'll take another order of gyoza and wasabi please. read more

The best sushi around and the best servers in town! Definitely the best place to stop when touring Natchez. Authentic thai food and lots of vegan/vegetarian options! read more

Excellent! Started off with Spring Rolls and Goyza. Both were delicious! Next was Chicken Pad Thai for me and Pineapple fried rice for Honey. Delicious! Service was a little slow to start but our server, Macy, had 6 tables to herself and to go orders (which there were a lot of!) She made sure we were well taken care of though through our entire meal. Rarely do I give 5 stars but the food here was with 10! Will definitely be back when visiting Natchez again! read more

What a treasure! Both of our meals were superb. I had an order of spring rolls. The rolls were light and crispy. My husband had the Tom yum soup and he said it was excellent. We both had the Thai iced tea, which was very refreshing, especially with the spice level of my entree. I had the Drunken Noodles with chicken, prepared at a 3 spice level. The dish had more vegetables than I've experienced at other restaurants; however, I enjoyed the veggies and it made for a lighter dish. My husband had the red curry with chicken. It was very flavorful. The restaurant was very peaceful with an eclectic decor. Our server, who was an owner, was very gracious. We highly recommend this restaurant. read more

The service and ambience are excellent. The orange chicken I ordered was just ok. The same for dishes others ordered such as the curry. I'd skip this one if you want excellent Asian or Thai food. read more

Delicious and authentic. We ordered online and took our meal to go and enjoyed it immensely. My pad Thai was spot-on. The coconut and lemongrass soup was delicious and the tiny spicy chicken was very spicy and exactly what my husband was looking for. Yum! read more

Small family owned business, amazing sushi and friendly service. The 911 roll is by far the best sushi we've ever eaten. Menu has a selection for almost anyone. Wish we could find another Planet Thailand restaurant in Florida! read more

2 stars only because the food is good. Love the sushi. BUT the service, lord help'em, send them a server that actually checks on their table and a cook that has a lil get up and go. If you decide on dine up pack a lunch because you will need it to hold you over until your food arrives. read more

Really good Thai food with a nice assortment of dishes to choose from. The place doesn't seem to stay very busy so reservations are probably not necessary. read more

Great food and generous portions. Try the pineapple/chicken fried rice. It's amazing.

The food wasn't bad, but the service was awful. I was on a 6 hour drive for work and passing through town. My significant other and I decided to stop in Natchez as we did the week before and had eaten at a quant restaurant with good food and service. But here we waited 1 1/2 hours for food. It's a small restaurant and only 2 servers, and doesn't appear to have any other staff up front. After some time we placed our orders. But our server diverted most of his attention to a table of 6, and it seemed he was trying very hard to get a good tip from them and could care less about our table of 2. We waited about 30 minutes and another man comes in and sits near us, and he received his food and paid before we received ours. 1 1/2 hours later we are pretty irritated. We have never been checked on.. We were never offered compensation for food or drinks. I'm pretty sure our server forgot to place our order. He never owned up or sincerely apologized. We actually went ahead and paid before our food came, but still waited another 30 minutes. We should have left at this point. Finally my soup and salad came out, and following this my partners curry came out close to 2 hours of being there. Just poor customer service, and money hungry servers. Natchez is a cute town, but this restaurant is an embarrassment. So don't waste your time. Literally because it will be wasted here. read more

So good! The food was extremely flavorful. We went here for lunch and enjoyed a salad and the chicken Pad Thai. There was not an overwhelming peanut flavor. Instead it enhanced the ginger and other ingredients. The ambience is very peaceful. The windows in the front provide a great amount of natural light. The fish circling the fountain/pond in the front is a lovely welcome before I am even handed my menu. The owner is also welcoming and so nice. Just a great experience all around! read more

Absolutely delicious. All the food was incredible. I especially loved the crab cakes. They also had excellent vegan options. Our server was attentive and kind. Highly recommended for a date night in Natchez! read more

I'm originally from the south, but I travel quite a bit for work. So, I've had quite a bit of sushi. That being said, I was still excited about trying Planet Thailand. (You never know when or where you might find your next great hole-in-the-wall place.) I went today around ten 'til 5 pm. The inside of the restaurant was nicer than I expected, and I was seated by a very charming hostess. So far, so good! She informed me that "Mrs. Ann" would be there soon. I wasn't sure who Mrs. Ann was, but I assumed that she made the sushi. Dinner was served from 5 to closing, so we wouldn't have long to wait, or so I thought... By 5:10, there is still no Mrs. Ann, so the hostess asks if she can get us something else. We order miso soup and edamame to pass the time. Around 5:15 pm, a woman short in stature and possibly of oriental descent is spotted behind the bar. I assume this is Mrs. Ann. A few minutes later, the first roll arrives. It's supposed to be a futomaki roll, but I honestly couldn't tell it apart from a plain avocado roll, at least not by taste. A California roll has also arrived, minus the masago that had been requested on top. It tasted okay. The next rolls to arrive were a Philly roll and a Caterpillar roll. The Caterpillar roll was excellent; one of the best I've ever had! However, the smoked salmon in the Philly roll was a little warmer than expected and had a fishy taste. Nevertheless, it was decent. I had two pieces of it before I noticed a long black hair on top. No one at my table had black hair, nor did the hostess, so I must suspect the hair came courtesy of Mrs. Ann. I motioned the hostess over and told her that I didn't want to finish the roll, nor did I request a replacement roll. She apologized, and took the plate. The next roll to arrive was a Volcano roll. I am used to volcano rolls being creamy and spicy. Yet, this roll was covered in so much panko and dry seasoning that it was sticky and dry. It definitely wasn't what I was expecting. The hostess apologized again for the hair in the food and took the Philly roll, as well as the edamame and miso that we had while we waited, off of the ticket. However, I still have to give the restaurant a low rating simply for the chef's tardiness and the long hair nestled in on top of the sushi roll read more

I love this place... Great food, fusion Asian/Thai food in the heart of the South! You can try the Thai or the Sushi! The staff and owners area really nice, sweet and thoughtful too. Check it out if you're ever out there. I can't believe I found this place in the Mississippi! read more

I have eaten Thai food all over the US. I lived in CA for several years and has some of the best. I wouldn't trust most of the reviews listed here because Thai food is almost unheard of in Mississippi. My wife got Vietnamese pho, I got spicy basil noodles with shrimp. Both dishes were extremely authentic! Excellent flavor and ingredients. Very nice atmosphere. The restaurant itself is located in an old historic building. I highly recommend this place to anyone who enjoys Thai food! read more

Some of the best pad Thai I have had. I probably get takeout from here once a week. So I don't know how the service is but looks very nice inside. read more

Food was delicious and fresh. The atmosphere with the fountain was lovely. Pad Thai and Mixed veggies. Spiced as we requested. Definitely a refreshing change from the heavy southern fare. read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE their sushi but the service has declined in the last few months. I frequent here often. When I ordered online today at 12:50, I got an email & text saying it would be ready by 1:21. I arrived at 1:25 and my food was not ready until 1:38. This has happened multiple times, but I love this restaurant so much I continue to go back. I just wish the service was a little faster or time appropriate. Thank you for continuing to make delicious sushi, but my stars will reflect overall experience lately and it's not up to par. read more

The fancy looks may attract you but the food is no good. Miso soup was crap. Sake was not so good either. Foods were missing their flavor. If you have never tried thai or asian food, then maybe its for you. Otherwise no. read more

Stopped in for dinner with some friends on my way to Baton Rouge. Fantastic Thai food! Hard to find in a small town. I had the red chicken curry and it was seasoned perfectly and a large portion. Service was a little slow, but we weren't in a hurry. Extensive drink menu. I had a lemon drop martini which I don't recommend. Probably should've asked for a better vodka selection, but it gave me a headache. My fault more than theirs. My friends that live in Natchez visit here weekly and say the food is consistently good. We also had some gyoza dumplings and edamame for appetizers. Both good. Comfortable dining room area and great selection of ethnic dishes. Will definitely be back next time I'm in town. read more

The shrimp fried rice and tiger roll were amazing! We also got the seaweed salad and it was perfect as well. Great location walkable from our hotel. I'm so glad we came to visit Natchez and enjoy the historic sites. Can't wait to come back again ;) read more

I'm from out of town staying here for work. This is my favorite place in town. They have so many great options. Loved the pad Thai! The servers are very friendly also! read more

The waiter was rude because closing time was 8 but when I called they said 9pm so we get there at 8 then the waiter says they close at 8 so we had to rush getting our order in. Food was rushed so didn't taste like it should have . We will not be going back again . The service and food use to be decent now is high prices low quality food. All in all I give the restaurant a 6 out of 10. read more

No, the only good thing was I was waited on quickly. Warm beer and had to pick my third choice because they were out of the first two. Should have kept going and drove home because the grocery store sushi by my house is five star compared to theirs. read more

Great lunch buffet Quick cheap lunch Full service menu available Good sushi read more

It looked like some of the other meals people ordered where probably good. I got the chicken curry...too sweet I didn't care for it. My wife got their house soup (wanted Pho but they weren't serving it that day) and it taste like Campbell's vegetable soup...not good. The chai tea was good. They didn't bring our sushi appetizer out so not sure how the sushi is. The waitress was nice but only one waitress for about 12 tables. The location is great and the place was busy so I assume other types of food are good there and maybe they were just short staffed that day. Overall was a little disappointed compared to the reviews. read more

Planet Thailand has been my go to restaurant in Natchez for just about as long as I've been able to drive. Their sushi is, as far as I know, the best in Natchez. I'd recommend a roll, but every one that I've had has been awesome. I've likewise never been disappointed in a dish. Years ago I had the best General Tso's chicken I've ever had the pleasure of eating here, and I'm sad to see that it's no longer on the menu. The only reason that this isn't a glowing five star review is that the service can be a little lackluster. Make sure you sip your drink slowly to ensure that you don't run out. read more

I read previous reviews and they were pretty accurate. The food was good but the service left something to be desired. My date and I were there almost an hour before we finished our appetizer and waited an additional 20 minutes for the rest of our meal. We ordered the Vietnamese Rolls and the Shrimp Tempura appetizers. The rolls were full of lettuce and very little shrimp. 10 minutes after receiving the rolls the waitress brought us a shrimp tempura roll....not what we ordered. Another 10-15 minutes later she returned with the appetizer we ordered. My date ordered the Natchez Roll and the Trinity Roll. She reports they were okay but not the best she's ever had. I had the chicken pad thai and the big momma roll, The roll was fair but the pad thai was very good. We weren't blown away but we will definitely return to try other items on their menu. read more

116 N. Commerce St is the physical address. It is downtown Natchez. Food was good. I had the Pad Thai with tofu. Tofu wasn't that great, but the sauce and noodles were good. It wasn't the greatest thai food I ever had, but it wasn't the worst either. Middle of the road. read more
