    Orange chicken
    Meghan B.

    Amazing food, service and the portion sizes are huge!!! I dined in for my first visit and all though the server was working the registering and waiting tables he did a great job making sure we had what we needed. The ambiance was pretty causal and I loved all the plants. For my entree I ordered the orange chicken and I was shocked by the amount of food. The portion was enough to serve 4 people. I also ordered a side of veggies. But the orange chicken had a great balance of flavors and came out hot and fresh. The veggies needed season but were also hot and fresh. I look forward to dining here again. This will be one of my new lunch spots when in the area.

    Third visit second review & last of 2025. Flawless! Massive portions & awesome flavor even without the spice I'm a 0 to .5 guy on spice level but it's undeniable this is a must try you have to go to this family style portion restaurant and when you finish you have enough food to eat the next 2 days completely worth it. The service was perfect for dine in or take out. Definitely keep it secret keep it safe secret Thai‼ in my picture below is the orange chicken which is a massive portion just put the sauce on the side to preserve the crispiness of the chicken for later on that she just reheating the air fryer and the Thai shrimp fried rice squeeze the lime on there for the extra kick.

    The food here is tasty, the serving sizes are large, and if you request it - or miscalculate - it'll be spicy enough that you'll regret your life choices. Excellent. The restaurant itself is a bit small, and cars tend to scrape on the curb getting in and out of the parking lot, but overall I definitely recommend it.

    Chicken satay
    Adiaha M.

    Small family owned restaurant in Chalmette! The food is delicious and the portions are huge! Be careful on the spice because I typically get medium which I'd say is a 2/3 at other Thai restaurants but here a 1 is too much spice for me! I love their drunken noodles and the different stir fry vegetables! Tonight I tried crab rangoon here for the first time and I typically don't like them but the ones here are great. They use a mixture of imitation and real crab meat and the real crab really enhanced the flavor. The chicken satay is also a great appetizer and the peanut sauce and cucumber onion sauce were both really good. If you love Thai definitely check this place out!

    Larb- excellent!

    Still flawless food, good service and a comfortable atmosphere. It's been a few years since I have been here, and it was better than I remembered. Each dish was perfectly cooked and full of flavor. Looking forward to retuning soon!

    Beef salad

    This place is crazy! The portions are huge! And they have a spice system all their own starting at .5 which is quite spicy and then a1 which is very spicy and so on. We got the red curry no stars, the ghost gate pad thai with 1 star and the beef salad with .5 star. It was all very delicious! Especially the ghost gate pad thai which I've never had pad Thai like that before. The curry was quite spicy without any stars, the beef salad was pretty spicy and the pad Thai was very spicy. It was so much food probably could've fed 5 people. And the prices are decent for the amount of food you get. We went on a very cold day. After we left my sinuses were cleared, my mouth was burning a lot & I was no longer cold, lol. Just be ware, the after burn is real!

    Crab Fried Rice

    This is my favorite restaurant of all time no exaggeration Seriously I've had excellent even outstanding Thai food, but nothing has come close, not even in the same ballpark to this heaven on earth You can tell when people from love. The portions are more than generous and prices are better than anything in the city with three times the amount of food. When I see reviews with people complaining about the wait for the food I have corrected them and explained that they make everything from scratch per order and they are complicated because they have a lot of ingredients I cook Thai food. I've worked at Thai restaurants. I had 2 very good Thai cooks as roommates at the restaurant that I worked at previously My favorite dishes are som tom- which is a green papaya salad with poo dang (Pickled fermented crab). MUST TRY!!!!! if you don't wanna eat pickled fermented crab just get it with. the shrimp Nam Touk (waterfall beef salad) Pad Ghang fried fish in eggplant curry I love the seafood soup and larb These dishes are very flavorful and shock the senses For the newbies the curries are OUTSTANDING and not from a paste in a can like most places. Yes it's painful, and time seeking to make such a complex dish so almost every restaurant you go to uses the same stuff you can get from Asian grocer in a can For people who are in doubt just try it The reviews don't lie! If you're in doubt you're gonna wanna slap yourself once you finally go Now if they could just come to the city or somebody from that family marry me so I can have it all the time that would be good

    Ghoat gate pad thai
    June B.

    My friend and I went today and we were highly impressed with the portions and the yumminess of everything. The green tea was amazing, a must try if you've never had it before. The orange chicken has to be one of the best I've ever had and my friend totally agreed! It was lightly battered, big chunks of fresh chicken, full of flavor it came with Jasmine rice and the ghost Pad Thai was amazing.

    Adjusted review. Secret Thai is a well-oiled machine that now churns out their food efficiently. The restaurant was spotless and they are sufficiently staffed. As always and as per my previous review, their food is DELICIOUS. Go get you some!!!

    Soooo good
    Cesar R.

    I known what you're thinking, "is this place worth the drive to CHALMETTE?" to you I say "HELL YES!!!!" The exterior is not much to look at but what waits for you inside will not disappoint. First start by picking the spice/heat level. I like heat a lot but I would not go above 2 maybe 2.5. Portions are huge so be ready to take some home. My fiends and I order the following Fried tofu, drunken noodles, orange chicken, red curry and the Kow Soy. All of it was delicious! I plan on making it a monthly dinner.

    Wow, this place is way out there, but the servings are huge and extremely affordable. The food is tasty although I wish I had ordered everything to be at a scale of 1.5 because that would've been the perfect heat. The vegetables are nicely and the atmosphere is really pretty and the service was pleasant. It's really a beautiful brightly colored space and a tiny strip mall in Chalmette and the food is really really good. Will be back.

    thai iced tea

    First time dining in and food was delicious. The portion they give you is definitely a little more than what you pay for. Beware their spice level is pretty high. I got the Pad See Ew spice level of 0.5 and it was pretty spicy but delicious. Probably my new favorite Thai place in Nola. Their thai tea was sooo good too. I saw they had Green thai tea on their menu, which i haven't seen common in other Thai restaurants. Will have to come back to try it. The staff was friendly and service was pretty quick. The inside is very colorful and vibrant, very welcoming. Will need to come back to try more of their dishes! Also, feel free to check out my parents nail shop next door to Secret Thai ;)

    Tom Yum!

    As always, the food and the service are excellent. I don't think you could go wrong with anything off the menu. However, you really wanna pay attention to the spice level. It appears the only complaints people have are the ones that have never been here before and didn't realize how spicy their food is. But it's a beautiful restaurant very cozy atmosphere.

We…read morewere told the default for the restaurant is fish sauce, they will use vegetable sauce when they know you are vegetarian. With that out of the way, choosing tofu as the protein opens up almost the entire menu, very nice. We had Pad Thai, Pad Cha stir fry, and tofu soup. All were very well seasoned and outstanding. We ate at the sidewalk seating on a glorious evening. Not much more to say. Order at the counter, get a number, find a table, food will be delivered and the table cleared. When we arrived there was a line out the door (maybe 20-25 yards); this line was constant from the time we arrived til we departed. It moved reasonably well and it appeared many of the people knew each other. People visiting other tables, probably more than any restaurant I've ever been at. Definitely would return.

We ordered what we usually get at Thai places: pad see ew and Thai ice tea. It's spot on. I forgot to ask for no spice for my fiance though because I never think about spice. If you can't handle spice, they make it with a default spice so don't forget to ask for no spice! Thai ice tea was a perfect ratio of sweet and condensed milk and tea!

I first tried it at the restaurant, then had to get it again during French Quarter Fest because I could not stop thinking about it. It is honestly one of the most creative and flavorful dishes I've had in New Orleans. The broth is rich, smoky, spicy, and packed with deep gumbo flavor. Every bite had something in it. Shrimp, sausage, chicken, vegetables, noodles, and so much seasoning without being overpowering. The ramen twist somehow works perfectly with the New Orleans style gumbo base. It feels like comfort food with a creative upgrade. What I really loved is that even at a busy festival, the quality was still amazing. The portions were generous and the food came out hot and fresh. If you see the gumbo ramen on the menu, get it. Don't even second guess it. To be honest the ambiance was cool but the flavor of their food makes you forget about anything else around you!!!
