Do you ever visit a place you almost hate to review because you want to keep it as your own secret, but you know deep down inside, the owners and staff deserve the increased business? This is that kind a place. It's an unassuming Thai restaurant in a strip mall near a Navy base, but the food is absolutely out of this world if you like Thai. It's good enough that my parents, who came with me here when they were in town, have spent many hours over repeated attempts to duplicate Thai Best's version of Tom Yum Soup and have given them the motivation to read and research how to make such a great version. Well done, Thai Best. read more

Very friendly, but little flavor with food. Not what you expect from Thai food.. I would go elsewhere.

I always love a good "hole in the wall"!! This place is tucked away in Food Lion shopping center near Naval station Norfolk. Hidden gem with a robot food sever! One of the best Thai fried rice I've tasted. Fair prices as well. Pad se yew wasn't the best I've ever had but it was delicious as well! Will definitely go here again! read more

Really good food, especially the curry, dine in is setting is amazing as well and the service is top notch

Recently I had lunch at this restaurant and the service was horrible. The waitress was very rude and disrespectful. When I she returned with my order, I tried to inform her that it was not what I ordered and she basically told me to shut up and that I didn't know what I was talking about. After "correcting me" she went back to the kitchen, we could hear bragging to the cook/owner about how she put me in my place. I didn't want to cause a scene, so I told her I would keep the dish, since it was not bad, even though it was not what I ordered. However, I knew if I did send it back, they probably would have done something to my food. The food is descent in this place, don't get me wrong, but the waitress was the worst waitress I have ever encountered in my years of eating out. No tip for her, other than learn how to speak to your customers. read more

Great food and service! When I first walked in, I was a little thrown off by the place. I had a lot of water damage in the ceiling and gave the impression of being dirty. We were starving so we sat down to eat and give it a try regardless. I went to use the restaurant and It was spotless. Also on the way to the restroom walked by the kitchen and that also was spotless. I ordered a very specific dish because I am trying to cut back on oil and they got the order perfectly. They have a robot that delivers the order to the table which is only watch out cause food was hot and we had to move it to the table. Other than that great experience! read more

The food was delicious and exactly as explained by the waitress. The staff was very pleasant and the restaurant was clean. read more

Ordered dinner from Uber Eats: Tofu Pad Thai, Tofu Massaman Curry, Sticky Rice with Mango. Overall, good. I asked for a bit of spice in the meals, and they were both well balanced. The Pad Thai was on the sweeter side and a very small portion size. I usually have leftovers from other places that serve theirs in the Styrofoam container, but I finished this off in one sitting. I'm dissapointed with this fact. I liked the Massaman Curry. Good flavor and balance of tofu and veggies, etc. This also felt like a smaller serving than I'm used to. Sticky rice was good. read more

I ordered through DoorDash from this restaurant for lunch. I got the Red Curry with chicken, and their Thai Best Treasure Bag. Everything was really good. I'll definitely order from here again and check out the restaurant in person. Can't give a full review until I eat inside the restaurant, but what I have experienced so far was great! read more

Beautiful looking food that is just not very beautiful tasting. Thai guy here. I'm saddened to write this review because I typically don't try to make reviews like this. With that said, maybe down the road I can try this place again, and the results will opposite. I also understand and appreciate all the efforts during Covid, and the fact take out food is never as good as dining in. This just wasn't the case. The food just wasn't good. The Lard Na was very watery, and the amount of noodles provided was paltry (considering how much you pay for it). Compared to every other Thai place here, this place gives you the least. And 13 dollars wasted. The shrimp fried rice was just plain. I can't say it any other way. Very under flavored and some of the peas tasted like they weren't cooked all the way. Another 13 dollars wasted. The Papaya salad was just aweful. Beautiful looking yes, but at first bite, just terrible. The Papaya was flavored with what tasted like just lemon/lime juice and nothing else. I tried to eat a couple more bites thinking maybe deeper in the bowl, it would taste better. It did not. I ended up just tossing it. Another Ten dollars wasted. Just a bad day. read more

Best Thai food I've had in a long time I'd recommend this place to anybody. I'm here on business, but if not, I would be at this restaurant three times a week at least great food great staff. read more

I ordered the general Thai chicken, egg rolls,and it came with rice that was mush. For the money it cost I won't be coming back,and wouldn't ever recommend. It had 5 pieces of chicken,the sauce was like soup,the veggies were all soggy,but at least the egg rolls were edible. Lesson learned read more

Love this place, Mom and pop all the way! Food is always fresh and very flavorful. The prices and service are incredible. The owners do everything-cook, serve etc and def embrace a family environment. Husband always gets the duck-his favorite and I've had just about everything at least once on the menu. You can't go wrong with any selection on the menu although, I really love the fish cake app, Tom kha and Pad Prik Pao. Please support this place-it really is a little gem read more

No idea if their food is good. Never got the opportunity. All I got was the stink eye, and then ignored. read more

Good food and decent price. The location is close so we use it frequently. The service is prompt and courteous.

Pretty good! Fast service, The waitress was very nice and helpful, and they didn't complain when I was watching The Boys on my phone for two hours. Good food, great tea, I'll definitely be back, thank you. read more

Egg rolls are delicious!!! Will definitely continue recommending. Sauce was sticky and flavorful!

Terrible... how do you call yourself "Thai best cuisine"? I ordered a seafood wonton soup for like $12 and only came with one piece of shrimp.. hardly any seafood in it, and flavorless. The fried rice had almost no chicken in it all for like $30 what a ripoff. Never going back again, you guys are by far the worst and tasteless Thai restaurant I've ever been to. read more

Had the curry with the duck and it was pretty dang good. Not a big fan of pineapples in my curry but that's not my problem. The curry was also spicy the way I wanted it. Would come back read more

Ordered delivery fulfilled by Grubhub, which we received quickly, the food was still warm and was well packaged for the transit so nothing spilled or leaked. We ordered the spicy Thai noodles with chicken, basil spicy fried rice level 3 and spring rolls. Sadly the pad thai and rice were not spicy at all. I thought at a level 3 it would be that nice middle ground of not too hot but still some heat, but there was no heat at all. So I wonder if the level 5 would even be spicy? The food had good flavor though and was freshly made, the portion sizes were also a nice size and we had some left overs for the next day. The cost is pretty comparable to other Thai restaurants. Although the food wasn't spicy like we were expecting I would try again and order a level 5! read more

warning: they stole my debit card info! do not purchase anything from here. they tried to make several online purchases. a hundred years of shame on them! read more

Great Thai food. Spice levels are good but could be a bit hotter. Staff is friendly and the restaurant is clean.

I frequent this establishment for lunch but today I was disappointed. I ordered takeout and arrived within 15min as said when the order would be ready. I ordered the green curry fried rice. I have had this many times previously but today the rice was extremely over cooked and was almost one solid mound of rice. As I stated previously I regularly support this restaurant but this is not the first time consistency has been an issued. I will return and I hope my order is good. read more

Always very friendly and the curries are excellent! Spring rolls were also very flavorful. One of my go to spots anytime I am in town.

Amazing food for a great price. The owner really loves her job and the is really personable! Their Treasure Bags are amazing. Highly suggest

I decided to try this place after a quick Yelp search. It was a nice, small dine-in restaurant. I called to place my order for carry-out and received good customer service. My order was ready in the time given to me. I wanted to be safe, so I ordered the Spicy Pad Thai with Chicken lunch special. I normally don't order Pad Thai because it's never been one of my favorite dishes. I was surprised that it was very flavorful. I would order Pad Thai from this location again. I ordered it with a spice level 2. It had a mild heat. I didn't expect the 2 fried dumplings or salad, which came with my meal. The portion was very large; enough for 2 decent meals. read more

This restaurant is my go- to for Thai food. I'm a fan of their red curry, although their Pad Thai is good as well. The food is always fresh and hot when I get it, even with delivery. If you like Thai iced tea, I'd suggest getting it here. The restaurant itself has a nice ambiance. read more

This hole in the wall restaurant is not too bad. It would be nice to see better portions for the prices of their food.

I ordered one of the specials they had listed - spicy chicken. I got a water to drink (because I'm cheap). The waiter was wearing a retired Navy shirt (Go Navy) which makes me happy. Anyway, they started me off with three cream cheese rangoon that were absolutely amazing. The sauce (I don't know the names of any Thai food) was sweet and slightly spicy. It was so delicious. The entree was a heaping mound of rice sitting in a pool of sauce and a pile of chicken, bamboo shoots, onion, and bell peppers. There was a distinct curry flavor and the sauce definitely had coconut milk added to the mix. This dish was amazing. So good. It was nice and spicy, but not too bad. And it was a whole lot of stuff to eat. I managed to finish it all, but I had to crawl out of the store. Overall, I give this place 4 stars. Great service. Very friendly (and Navy). The food was excellent. The prices were reasonable. My one and only complaint was that the a/c wasn't working that great so it was a sweat-fest while I was scarfing down that spicy chicken. Other than that it was perfect. I highly recommend it. This is my first time eating Thai, btw. read more

Been there twice in the past. I wasn't overly thrilled but when this time and it was outstanding. Brought family and friends who are Thai food regulars and they said it was the best they ever had.

We've been going here monthly as a family for dinner for over 2 years and I frequently go here with my coworkers for lunch. The owner was there with me through my whole 2nd pregnancy. One of the few things I could eat was the garlic chicken with rice and chicken satay. If you're in a hurry call ahead. Otherwise enjoy yourself as we always do. read more

So about this place .. I honestly didn't care for it but my friend (who went with me) and my husband both enjoyed the pad see yew and the spicy pad thai. I did like the thai iced tea though. The service was nice. The place was empty. Mind you .. I am not the biggest Thai food fan but I do eat it and have a few dishes that I do enjoy.

I read a really bad review of this place and now that I've tried it I can say it's not true!! I loved the fried rice. I added lime snd soy sauce. I got the red curry and I don't really ever eat that stuff but it was delicious and my husband loved it too. Also, the pad Thai comes in a huge portion! read more

Good food but I can't stand the daughter of the owner here. I asked for a fish sauce and she commented, "You like the smell of fish sauce? Ewww, my husband said it smells like a woman's ******* who didn't shower for days!" Really, you will converse to your customer like you're closest friends? It's the closest Thai restaurant off base but I'm not coming back. Her gesture is so unprofessional! read more
