Pad thai with tofu. Kow soi. Nam sod - are my favorites! Best pad thai for me! I had dinning experiences here - they were friendly and courteous. Very cozy and relaxing vibe inside the restaurant - i like mine to go sometimes. Good food for a family night and just for comfort! Love this place.! read more

Where to begin ? The food was absolutely delicious. Everything tasted fresh and so flavorful ! I ordered the pad Thai and tempura shrimp. Hands down my favorite pad Thai in all of CT. The tempera shrimps where so crispy and buttery! The waitress was attentive to us and made sure we had a good experience. The restaurant it self was a very modern Thai fusion but felt very welcoming. I loved the design of the place and the ambiance. Will Definitely go back and 100% recommend . read more

I'm a vegan and I'm obsessed with the Pad See Ew, no egg and they accommodate me every time. Very friendly, quick service, the inside is nicely decorated! I place orders very often. read more

This is absolute disgusting. Don't don't bother ordering from here. Drunken noodles tasted bad and sweet. It should be savory not sweet. As for the soup only had two pieces of shrimp. I spent almost a 100 on this order. Not authentic at all. I can't even get my money back. read more

Thai Avenue Kitchen and Bar - "Tempura" shrimp - Thai Near Me - Bristol, Connecticut

It's been a long time since my mother and I had eaten Thai food. It's located on US-6 in Bristol, but though you can see the entrance, the location is unassuming and can be very easy to drive by. That said, if you do chance upon this place, you will NOT be disappointed and rather be glad you found this restaurant. The atmosphere of the place when you walk in is very peaceful, and while the place was empty when we walked in, more customers came in not long after we did. We grabbed a spot with two comfortable chairs by the window and our waiter was with us not long after we sat down, maybe around when the second customers came in. The man who waited our table may I say was very professional and polite, an example of what a good waiter should be. My mom and I placed our orders at 4:45. I opted for pork gyozas deep-fried and Yellow Duck Curry with no tomatoes while my mom had a small Tom Kha Soup, Hot Thai Tea, and a Goong Oop Woonsen. The tea came pretty much right away, and mom couldn't get enough of that tea! She drank a whole container full and got a second helping she loved it so much! I did partake in a sip and it definitely tasted like a good tea, but I let her have at it after that. It was her tea. The next things to come came in a little less than 10 minutes after placing the order: the gyozas and the Tom Kha. My gyozas came with a dipping sauce. There wasn't much of the sauce, but there was just enough that I was able to use all of my gyozas on it. It had a nice crunch to them, and the sauce worked really good with these! These gyozas were GOOD! Meanwhile, mom was enjoying her soup. In fact, she enjoyed it so much, she told the waiter it was the best soup she'd ever had! I'm not much of a soup guy, but my mom does enjoy a good soup, so when she says something is good, she means it! The entrées came out around 5:12 PM, and the ambience was still very peaceful at that time. Mom's food came in this kind of ceramic pot that I'd thought looked like such an epic pot of food to be served on, and it really fit the theme of the restaurant. She enjoyed the Goong Oop Woonsen as well, but couldn't really eat the rice that came with it, for she was feeling full. Then for my curry. It looked really good, and you had onion, pineapple, and pepper in there to go along with the duck. The duck had a crunch to it, but tasted good as a curry. The dish came together beautifully and I couldn't be happier with it. We both ordered jasmine rice, and the rice soaked up the yellow curry sauce perfectly! Truly a filling and satisfying meal! Even the price wasn't too bad! My part of the order before taxes came to $23.90, which would have been $25.53 after the tax. The entire thing was $58.53, which was really good for what we got. This restaurant is definitely worth a visit if you're ever in Bristol or in the mood for Thai food! read more

Walking in, this is a small cool spot with great ambiance. There was no one else inside when we got there, but within 10 minutes of being there I saw about 4 different people come in for pick up orders. That gave me the feeling this place was going to be good. They had a nice selection of beers on tap, I went with Headway by Counterweight. The salad with the peanut sauce was great. I'm normally not a fan of the Thai peanut sauce but this had s little extra sweetness to it snd I really enjoyed it. For my meal I got the duck tamarind with brown rice. I had never had duck before and was nervous but wanted to try something new. It was amazing! Even in the Thai sweet chili sauce the duck was still super crispy and cooked to perfection. Our waiter was also very friendly and made it a very enjoyable experience. I'll be back here next time I visit Bristol!! read more

Today is November 25th 2020 and for those who aren't aware this restaurant is pick up/to go orders only. Currently there is no inside dining here. It's a shame because this is such a beautifully decorated restaurant to enjoy. The food though is phenomenal though. Absolutely delicious. Rest of the review to come soon. read more

We recently moved to Bristol and live about 2 minutes from Thai Avenue Kitchen, so we were really hopeful that it was a great Thai restaurant given how much we enjoy the cuisine. We've picked up food there a number of times at this point and overall have been super happy with everything we have ordered. I always use Drunken Noodles as a litmus test for Thai restaurants and I just love theirs. We have also tried curries and other noodle dishes and everything is just consistent and tasty. Overall we will continue going back and we hope they continue doing what they're doing! read more

Thai Avenue is a fantastic restaurant! It is nicely decorated, comfortable, and has excellent food and moderate prices. Combine that with friendly service and all of my criteria for dining out are met!! My husband and I enjoyed curry puffs, drunken noodles with duck, and pad Thai with duck. It was all fresh, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. No need to add any salt, sriracha, etc. The duck was nicely crisped on the outside and tender on the inside. Both portions of noodles were large as well. Thai Avenue has a huge menu. Next time I will try the wonton pad Thai and the drunken friend rice. Can't wait to return!! read more

Thai Avenue Kitchen occupies an unassuming spot along the main road, but the interior of this little surprise is unique and homey with a perfect little bar in front. The low-lit dining areas are filled with eccentric chairs and a mix of mass produced art with more sentimental pieces inspired by the owners. The quiet atmosphere is a perfect spot to enjoy an intimate dinner, just as I was able to do with my wife on a cozy Monday night. Once you get past the great vibe, you are then able to find the true jewel of this humble spot, the food. We started with an excellent appetizer of the Bags of Gold. Think fried chicken but instead of greasy skin the crunch comes from the lightly fried wonton wrapping a delicious mix of chicken inside. I enjoyed an excellent Tom Kha soup prior to my meal. The mix of lime and lemongrass flavors made it a wonderful precursor for my meal. The menu is complete with all of your favorite Thai dishes (i.e. curries, noodles, fried rice) but have an extensive selection of house specialties. This being our first visit we went for favorite staples of fried rice and curry. I had a Massaman curry with carrots and potatoes (not spicy even though the menu warned it was). The taste of the currey was sweet and aromatic; the accompanying pork and vegetables were wonderful as well. My wife had the Crab Fried Rice. It was on-par with the best I have ever tasted. The crab was a sweet undertone to the spices and the Chinese sausage. In summary, Thai Avenue Kitchen is a great venue with lots of character but the best part of this local spot is the menu. We look forward to coming back and trying out the bar and more dishes. read more

Halfway through our meal, I knew we were having a five star experience on so many levels. The service was stellar -the young lady who filled our water glasses and took our order was wonderful, and the kitchen runner who delivered our food made friendly, smiling, and efficient hustle seem effortless. The décor is gorgeous-lots of artwork and paintings and designs everywhere you look. Just as gorgeous as the décor is the food presentation. Just look at how beautiful the Thai Avenue Sampler is https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/thai-avenue-kitchen-and-bar-bristol?select=bo2-EkN-hp1mibnm-f0Gmg For $10.95, we had a mind blowing order of two chicken satay skewers, two spring rolls, four bags of gold (Deep fried and marinated grounded chicken stuffed in wonton wrap), and three shumai. It was served with three different sauces, the best of which was clearly the peanut sauce paired with the chicken satay. It had a deep peanut flavor and was pretty much perfect. The dish was a beauty to look at and was plain old delicious. But wait there's more, check out our orders of Chicken Pad Thai https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/thai-avenue-kitchen-and-bar-bristol?select=7fACE5Y2rCQ3Py6k-ASPuw and Spicy Udon Noodles with Seafood https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/thai-avenue-kitchen-and-bar-bristol?select=pd2-Eglhp_2gToBYn3cu_w They were drop dead gorgeous to look at and delicious! My Udon was loaded with seafood - big scallops, big shrimp, big pieces of squid, and lots of mussels. The quality of the seafood was outstanding. The shrimps and scallops were plump and perfectly cooked, the squid was tender and not rubbery, and my oh my were the mussels PERFECT! They were big and tender and perfect in every way. The Udon noodles were in a spicy sauce that was wonderful, and mixed among the seafood were a garden of perfectly cooked vegetables- onions, red and green peppers, scallions, and basil Our dinner ran under $40 and we took home plenty of the Udon and Pad Thai. I am pretty stingy with 5 star reviews, but this one was an easy call. Try it and see. Oh and by the way, it gets even better because you get 15% off with your Yelp check-in! read more

Thai Ave. Is the newest of the few Thai restaurants in town. I have tried them once for sit down lunch, but usually get takeout. Decor is modern and clean. My go to is the Thai Ave. Sampler, I love the variety and Veggie green curry, just right on mild heat...both are delicious! I have tried Pad Thai to go, and drunken noodles and both were a sticky mess of clumped up noodles upon arriving... won't do that again! For sit down, they are fine. They usually seem flustered when picking up and have mixed up my order once, mixed up my name once, but overall I enjoy this thai place over the others near by. read more

Oh my god. The food is so good. The parking is horrible however the food more than makes up for it. We had trouble getting here since they opened but finally could and I'm so mad we waited to come here so long. Being vegetarian it's hard to find good food that isn't boring. Problem forever solved here. Husband and I both got the vegetable Pad See Ew. It's amazing. I couldn't stop eating it and pretty much inhaled the food it's that good. The portions are generous and even with as much as I ate I slowed down and had to bring some home. As for the restaurant itself, at the time we went it's very sensory friendly for autistic people like me. The music is nice and muted. The colors are dark and comfortable. The chairs are comfy. The lighting it dim and warm. No real sounds from the kitchen. Of course we went and were the only people there because we eat early, but it was perfect for me and for us in general. Definitely will be back. So many good things to try! read more

I have been eating Thai food for a very long time. And I know the taste of the food and it's texture.

No clue what I was talking about!!! read more

Look no further for the best Thai takeout in the area!! Thai avenue is my go-to spot for chicken pad Thai. The portion size is great (definitely enough for two servings) and the pad Thai itself is super flavorful and filling!! The inside of the restaurant is also super cute, I'd love to enjoy a meal here at some point in the future! I ordered my meal on a Friday night- it took 15 minutes until being ready which was super convenient. I'd love to try either their calamari or pork gyoza for an appetizer next time!! I will definitely continue to order from Thai avenue and can't wait to try more of their menu options. read more

We came here with a Groupon, excited to try this new restaurant that seemingly sprung up overnight with stellar reviews. I'm happy to report that it's excellent. Good Thai food, huge portions, super reasonable prices (below average for this state), and a cute atmosphere. I got the pad thai with pork, while my husband got the drunken noodles with beef. We enjoyed both very much, and seriously, it was enough food for us to have an entire second meal the next day. Our waitress was very nice and hospitable, despite us coming an hour before closing time and them having to deal with another customer's health crisis at the same time. There was a little trouble getting the bill printed, which resulted in us waiting for quite a bit of time at the end of our meal, but we weren't in a hurry and didn't much mind. Unfortunately, we have since moved away from the area but if you're lucky enough to live nearby, I highly encourage you to go! read more

The food was spectacular. We both had a Pad dish with glass noodles, shrimp and chicken and let me tell you, it was the best Thai I have had (and I have had A LOT of Thai food). The ambiance is fun and comfortable, very clean, and pleasant. The service was extremely caring and attentive. We went on Wednesday pretty early - 6:00pm and were the only ones there. I cannot recommend this enough. We live 1/2 hour away and will be driving there to eat again in the near future. read more

The interior is super cute and cozy. Great lunch deal with smaller portions so you won't leave feeling over stuffed :) I really enjoyed the drunken noodles. My husband liked his pad Thai but said it was heavy on the fish after taste (which I think is pretty standard for that dish) read more

Was a bit concerned as I went in to pick up my food and saw nobody eating inside or even in the parking lot. Tried to ignore this as I reminded myself of the yelp rating. That being said... Horrible portion size as these bite size frozen dumplings cost nearly $1 per dumpling. Also was served with no more than one ounce of dipping sauce for 6 dumplings. Pad Thai was average but probably won't be coming back unless they make changes. read more

Parking and Exterior: Parking is extremely tight in the front. I did not take a trip around the back of the building, but I would assume there is parking. The front only allows for about 5- 7 cars at max to park and is right off of the main street where cars whip by. The exterior is delphic; I've grown up close to this area and have always saw this building with its linen curtains and black and white vertical sign and always wondered what it would be like on the inside. Interior and Atmosphere: First thoughts walking in and looking around was this would be a perfect place for a date. It's average sized, but the decor is lively and the inside tranquil. I did notice they have random signs scattered about the restaurant that read things like "Family" and "Happiness is Homemade, and a few others that fall under the "Basic category", but they made up for it with their sleek white and blue booths and dark wood tables. To the right when you first walk in there are large chairs only for pairs, that are large and look very comforting. Food and Experience: I did not eat inside, but was greeted immediately. The waitress was attentive and nice. She walked me over to the bar to place my order. I ordered the "Oceans 11" which was an assortment of various seafood cooked in a chili with a side of rice and salad to go (zuppa di pesce is my favorite at any Italian place, old habits die hard). When I opened up my meal it had only about 10 minutes, a relatively low time when getting take out so with the food still be held to in-house standards, it was delicious; Just the right amount of heat and the spices mingled well with the aroma of the meal. The portions are not the largest, but I don't like over eating, this isn't a problem for me. The salad was fresh and had a typical carrot ginger dressing on top, but was not running or overwhelming like many chain-like restaurants (ex. Fuji). The Low Down ( for the short attention span): I've grown near the Bristol area and never went into this place until recently. Parking is tough, but you can make it work. This restaurant is a hidden gem. The decor will feed your eyes and the food will leave you wanting more. This is a great place for someone who likes things spicy, trust me. Bring a date, bring a friend, or take yourself you deserve it. Tinu. read more

Absolutely without a doubt the best Thai food I've ever had! Their beef pad thai is always perfect! Those bags of gold are just ridiculously tasty and always consistent perfectly golden fried!!! My husband gets something different each time, this past eve the dish dujour was the red curry chicken and I tried and loved it!! Great taste and a little heat!!! This time I tried the asian flank steak, the steak was good but a little to pink so I cooked it a lil longer but did not need a knife, the steak was like butter and the veggies were steamed but crisp my personal fave! The sauce that dish comes with, I found to not be my cup of tea, but it comes on the side so not to worry. I am looking forward to our new adventures with Thai Food and you should to with this restaurant. read more

Delicious Thai!!! I was looking for something that was really reflective of the authentic Thai that I've enjoyed at home and this place is it. read more

Second experience eating in the restaurant today was great as well. They had easily the most comfortable chairs I've ever sat in for a meal, and the interior was interesting and decorated in an eclectic way. The order was almost identical to our delivery order months ago (creature of habit) and it was all just as good, if not better. Perfectly cooked, perfectly seasoned, perfectly presented. Service was attentive and polite. A definite new go-to. read more

I am VERY excited that this restaurant is only minutes from my house! My meal was delicious, filling, and reasonably priced. The menu here is extensive (and that is an understatement) so there seems to be an option for everyone. The decor is rustic with hints of luxe (for example, the wicked comfy velvet-feeling chairs along the front window seating!) and I enjoyed hanging out with a glass of wine. The only reason I did not give this restaurant 5-Stars is because they are still only a beer/wine bar -- but there is a sign in the window saying they are applying for their liquor license, so I will be back to update my review as soon as I get my hands on that cocktail menu!! I recommend the Summer Rolls as an appetizer; the shrimp with the thin lettuce wrap and peanut/sweet and sour sauce combo is so refreshing and light! For a meal, my boyfriend and I split a shrimp/asparagus dish and a salmon dish. Delicious!! We finished the salmon but took the shrimp and asparagus home as leftovers. Very delicious and paired great with some Cabernet. **This restaurant would be PERFECT for large group gatherings!!!** I can't wait to come back to try more of the menu and have a cocktail when they get their license! read more

Awesome Thai food! Super nice staff and the place is cute inside. Go to takeout food for me! HUGE fan of their crab fried rice!

This is probably my utmost favorite Thai place around Bristol, CT; we went there because of a Groupon and stayed every since. We tried the Thai Avenue sampler which came with chicken satay, spring rolls, bag of gold, and shumai. The food came out hot, fresh, and as quick as possible. For entrées, we had the Peanut Lover (chicken with pineapple, water chestnuts, broccoli topped with peanut sauce) and the Tom yum noodle soup alongside Thai iced teas. The iced teas were phenomenal and you could smell the fragrance of the tea before drinking it. For the peanut lover, we liked how there was a lot of sauce. The sauce went well with all the food and whatever was left was poured into the rice making a yummy goodness of a meal. For the Tom yum, I could tell that the food was authentic and fresh, like how my mum would have made it, thus why my reason for coming back again and again. The only con would be the wait time and staff. There are only 1 or 2 people waiting so you do have to be patient and the location is on a super busy part of route 6 so getting in and out is a challenge, but other than that, definitely a place to check out! read more

My go-to Thai restaurant. Everything is phenomenal and consistent, I typically get take-out but I've also dined in a few times and it's pretty cute inside. I always order the Yellow Curry with tofu, the Tom Kha Soup and the Pad See Yew. I also love the Wonton Pad Thai (and I add noodles). You can't go wrong with anything on the menu! read more

Best Thai food in the area. We generally order drunken noodles or Pad Thai. Service is always quick and the staff are friendly. I've only done takeout but it looks like a neat place to sit down for lunch/dinner. read more

Delicious! I had take-out from here previously, and most recently enjoyed a sit-down dinner here in person. We were seated immediately, and the decor and ambiance is very nice in here. It has an elegant feel to it and the chairs are very comfortable. It's very trendy and I was impressed by how nice it is! The service was friendly and attentive. The calamari appetizer was great, and my Pad Thai was among my favorite ever! I will be going back again and again for their Pad Thai. My husband enjoyed his curry very much too. We also got a discount on our bill by checking in on Yelp and showing them on my phone! This is a great find in Bristol and I am so happy it's here! read more

I absolutely love this thai restaurant. I've only had take out, but have taken out many times. I always get the drunken noodle $10.95, and it's perfect and the cheapest around. The Thai sampler is also bangin, and it allows you to try a little bit of different apps. I also have to get the Tom Yum, because it's my fav soup in the world, and it's so tasty and cheap. If you get take out, don't forget to get a thai iced tea to go as well, they make the straw wrapper into a little flower, so cute. If you want great Thai, eat here! read more

Quick, delicious and worth every penny! Highly suggest for any time. Especially those last minute dinner decisions.

Delicious food and super cute ambiance inside. I had the kao soy which was a bit different than what I was used to (made with red curry and not many bean sprouts/cilantro). However, it was delicious. My friend had the chicken pad thai lunch special which was good. We split the curry puffs which were delicate and flakey--probably one of the best curry puffs I've had before. They were a tad on the pricey side though (3 small puffs for $8). Definitely will be going back again. read more
