    Orange curry with chicken
    Alan A.

    Legit. Honestly, Sevierville, TN would probably be one of the last places I'd think of for solid Thai. Nothing against Sevierville, but c'mon. This joint is very good. Got the orange curry with chicken. You pick the spice level from mild to Thai Hot. I went with spicy, but had to ask for some chili paste to kick it up some more. The orange curry is as good as we have had. Also had the Thai dumplings which were good. Service was friendly and the prices are fair. Small place, but big on flavors. In the middle of a strip mall

    Coconut Soup

    I have only on a rare occasion had food at same location two weeks in a row. Exception made here. Truely delicious food and worth coming back for a second visit. Both items I've had the coconut soup. A def favorite. Mildly spicy but with a great flare with mushrooms, cilantro and small pieces of chicken. Massaman curry last week that really was so impressed had to return. Failed to get pick but will try again.. This week has garlic sauce with chicken. The attention to the sauces is wonderful here. Vegetables were cooked while retaining a good texture and crunch. Give them a try when possible.

    Lunch menu

    Great service and explained the details of the lunch menu. The fried ice cream and banana rolls were an awesome dessert choice

    Curry
    Kristin A.

    I had a Masaman curry. The flavor was amazing. It had cashews, beef, brocolli and a coconut curry.

    Thai Style Fried Rice
    Crystal M.

    Very nice wait staff Seemed clean Food came out a bit quick for me Food was tasty I asked for mild since I am traveling . I tried a curry with broccoli and avacado which was very interesting. Staff aware of gluten free. Overall good experience

    Drunken noodles
    George L.

    Food is fresh service fast. Had the drunken noodles so nice. Meat Thai rolls fantastic and Tom kha very very good. Ambiance is fine not fancy but food is 5 stars! Very good quality

    Thai meat roll
    Ka V.

    Nice and friendly staff. However, probably would not come back. Pad kee Mao (drunken noodle) was overall okay. I think to add a little kick, they used maybe chili POWDER? Not exactly sure, but I did not like that. Fried rice was good but a little over cooked. Rice was super soft, which means it's only good for right there and then. Reheating it later would make the rice soggier. The panang curry wasn't bad either but a little more on the watery side and the coconut flavor was very overpowering. The appetizer, Thai meat roll was very disappointing. Meat was a little hard to chew and there was a small amount of it. Do not recommend.

    Garlic stir fry modified to be vegan.

    One of only a few places in the Sevierville area that has vegan options. Fortunately the staff is aware of what can be made vegan, which I believe is the Rama Curry, as is, and the Garlic stir fry, with the modification to omit the oyster sauce. They're always friendly and helpful and the food comes out quickly. The ambiance is standard Thai restaurant with some booths and tables. The food is decent and I'm thankful there's options.

    Fresh shrimp rolls with Basil.  The sauce is a hot chili garlic oil type and peanut sauce.  Spicy and delightful!
    Nessa B.

    Looking for Asian restaurants on this side of town seemed few and far between but we found this little place in the strip of shops behind the Kroger. Menu offerings were plenty, we ordered the Shrimp Thai Basil, the Chicken in Rainbow Sauce, just called Rainbow, I would liken it to across between Basil sauce and maybe a Szechzuan sauce, the Chicken in Garlic sauce, and the Chicken Curry. All were very tasty. Appetizers were the potstickers, and the fresh shrimp basil rolls which did not disappoint. The restaurant got busy after 630pm, and lots of take out orders. This business appears to be family owned and they do a great job!! Bookmarked this place for the next time we are in town! Ps. Family friendly had some kid options as well.

    Menu, Chicken Pad Thai, Drunken Noodles with Beef

    Great food! Everyone was satisfied with the delicious food. Spring rolls, pad Thai, drunken noodles, fried rice, Thai iced tea, etc. Everything tastes flavorful and distinct! Medium spice level was perfect for someone missing spice as it wasn't too powerful yet just enough to get the good kick. Service wasn't terrible yet not being greeted when entered nor seated as the sign asked us to wait to be seated caused some questions. We sat and it took some time for us to be brought menus. We were not greeted then either, just menus and utensils placed on the table. When we were finally submitted our order, the engagement seemed to shift or maybe our expectations shifted in what service was going to be. The environment is very casual. My group is visiting and this was our night out...very casual environment.

There's also outdoor seating but we didn't opt for that due to ducks roaming around outside. We went for lunch one day and came back for dinner another day making it two different experiences. The first day we they mentioned they're out of papaya salad so we opt for beef jerky, pad Thai chicken, tom yum beef fried rice, and a pork & crab dry noodles. It's def on the pricey side and there is 18% gratuity already added! Good experience for lunch. We came back for dinner another night Ordered thai ice tea which was good! Ordered a shrimp pad Thai which is good as well however their pad Thai aren't consistently flavored. I guess it all depends on which protein one orders but based on all my Thai places experiences, it should be consistent no matter the protein. Anyways. I ordered glass noodles with beef and it was a bit bland I added some papaya salad sauce and it spiced it up more and better flavored. This time they did have papaya salad and it was good! My husband ordered the beef green curry. It took a while to come out probably because it was slightly hectic. It wasn't cooked as thoroughly as it should but overall the taste was ok. Rice was slightly undercooked but we didn't fuss. Overall, a good Thai experience in a place where Asian food isn't prevalent! Definitely a must try!

    My first review for my hobby: Bert's Feast or Flop, where I review my experiences with restaurants…read moreand fast food places to determine whether they are a FEAST or a FLOP. I wanted to start with Thai Cuisine in Maryville because this place deserves more business. Food: 5/5 The food tastes amazing! Everything was cooked perfectly, tasted fresh and you can tell it was made by a chef who truly cares about their cooking. The portion sizes and presentation were excellent and very filling. This was my first time ever trying curry, and I was extremely impressed -- I loved every bite. If you're ever curious about trying curry, get the Yellow Curry. The spice levels range from 1-5, and I got level 2. It had great heat without overpowering the flavors. I also had a bite of my mother's Tornado Shrimp, and it was fried and sauced perfectly. It's hard to sauce fried food well, but Thai Cuisine does it perfectly every time. The vegetables were cooked to perfection too -- they had a great crunch without tasting raw. Lastly, the potstickers are the best in Maryville! ‍ Service: 5/5 The service was professional and super friendly. Our server, Yolanda, was incredibly helpful when it came to deciding which curry I should try and what protein paired best with it. The pacing of the service was excellent because we had time to enjoy our appetizer without feeling rushed into our entrée. You can also tell the cook(s) is passionate about what they do. Atmosphere: 4.5/5 The restaurant was very clean, and the vibes were exactly what you'd expect from a Thai restaurant. My only nitpick was that we were seated next to another group even though there was plenty of space in the restaurant where we could've had a little more room to ourselves. Value: 5/5 The portions absolutely matched the value of what we ordered. I know eating out can get expensive nowadays, but this place is absolutely worth the price they charge. Final Thoughts I absolutely adore Thai Cuisine in Maryville and the employees who work there. They're always friendly and always deliver great food. This will always be one of my go-to spots whenever I'm craving a fresh meal. I just wish this restaurant wasn't so hidden because more people deserve to discover and try it. I'd love to see them move to a more noticeable location someday. If you love Thai food, this is the place to go for a guaranteed great experience! FEAST Overall Rating: 5/5 Would I Go Back?: YES

    Very good quality, good portion sizes, clean restaurant, very nice people. Only word of warning is…read morethat we were asked how spicy we would like our dish from one to five and we said one. It felt like a 3.

We were greeted promptly and cheerfully and seated. When we asked our server for possible vegan options he grabbed us a vegan menu. Practically unheard of in the Knox area! We ordered both the asparagus and peanut & avocado rolls to share. The peanut & avocado roll is outstanding and something I look forward to ordering in the future! He got the Mixed Vegetable in Vegan Brown Sauce and added tofu. He was asked if he wanted fried or steamed which is a nice touch. I got the Broccoli Mushroom with Tofu. Both were delicious. I got a 4 out of 5 spice level which was perfect for me. If I'm feeling especially risky, I might try the 5 level one day! Our server was very helpful and answered my questions about the menu for "next time". They have brown rice...yay. Also the Fresh Mango with Sticky Rice also happens to be vegan...sometimes restaurants that serve this "coconut milk" dish also add regular milk, but the kitchen confirmed it's "just" coconut milk. We've driven past the building hundreds of times, and it's a rather unassuming building. But, once inside, you're transported to an Asian decorated restaurant that reminds me of others I've been to. We went at dinner and the portions were huge and we left stuffed, and decided next time we'll share one dish with an extra order of rice and get the sticky rice. They also have a lunch menu, which doesn't have any vegan options, but our server said you can order from the dinner menu at lunch.
