Pad Kee Mao Doordash order. Asked for shrimp and if not available then do chicken. Got a prawn that looked like this. Not sure about you, but I do not like my prawns with the shell and legs still attached in my noodles. Would not get this again. read more

Came in for dinner and can't wait to come back to try more items from the menu. We had the tom yum soup with chicken, ginger dish with duck, and gaeng daeng with chicken (was a little spicy for me but my husband loved it). The bartender also made me a super yummy mocktail that tasted like gummy bears. I love the presentation here. The rice comes out in the shape of a cat. If you order noodles, they are plated on boats! Great food. Great drinks. Great service. What more could you want? read more

Girl dinner on a Saturday night @thaiboat.rva in the heart of the Fan is a cute whimsical authentic Thai spot I think you might enjoy! We were greeted and seated quickly (it was later in the evening) and our waitress was energetic and engaging as she gave us a run down of her favs and popular items! From her recommendations we ordered the crab rangoons (3.9/5)the filling was seasoned and they were served hot, the sauce was a bit sweet but tasty! Mimi ordered the Thai Mafia and baby shout out to the bartender (10/5) good and strong lol! For our entree's Mimi ordered the Khaw Pad Poo crab fried rice (4/5 plenty of real crab meat where we did get a shell or two which happens, huge portion and tasty) and I ordered the Bangkok chicken dish (which was also recommended was good, chicken was crispy, veggies fresh, added a bit more heat by using some of Mimi's sauce tho some of the peppers were already spicy in my dish I was just looking for a wow factor maybe a bit more salt/flavor idk 3.1/5 and they served their white rice in the shape of a kitty lol loved the details). I adore their space/atmosphere which is great for late evening meet ups or girl dinners like we did! If in the area give them a go! read more

Very good food and cocktails. During HH , believe it's $4 off drinks and $12 pad Thai. Boat (owner) is also great and very friendly.

Incredible food, and deals! The best! Boat runs a tight operation and knows what's up with making a manhattan

Thai Boat is an amazing new place that opened up in the Fan. I loved all they had to offer! The service was amazing, the portions were large, and the prices are fair. I loved the presentation of each dish, they put a lot of care into it. Highlights of my visit were: - Pad Kee Mao with Tofu (Drunken Noodles) -Rice was in a cute cat shape! -my dish came in a cute boat With its proximity to bars and Carytown, this would make a great date night spot. read more

Instant new fav spot in RVA. The interior is cozy and eclectic, super fun vibes, and the bartenders and staff are awesome. The cocktail list is one of the absolute best I've seen in a WHILE. Love that everything on it has a bit of tropical vibe, especially their mule. Their food (we got pad Thai and crab fried rice) was fantastic! Cannot wait to go back here every chance possible. read more

This place has such great food, great vibes, and wonderful staff. If they had a better happy hour, I'd be here all the time! Some of the best thai food in the area, but a little on the pricier side. Will definitely be back though! read more

Really great Thai spot. Husband and I got the Moo Ping as an appetizer and entrees were Pad See Eaw and Thai Basil. All were amazing. If you like spicy, try their dry chili seasoning but use sparingly. Staff was super friendly and food was good in timely manner and definitely fresh to order. I'd say this Thai restaurant is on par with somewhere like My Noodle Bar. Oh and the two cutest things were shaping the rice into a cat and serving my entree in a boat dish. read more

Enjoyed a warm lunch on a cold Saturday afternoon with a friend. We skipped cocktails today opting for Cokes and started with the crab rangoons and pork belly. Those were prob the best rangoons I've had in my life!! For the main I had the red curry and my friend had a soup. Both were delicious and enough to take home for a second meal. Service was attentive, the fella was happy to offer recommendations. The only con was how freezing it was in there. Cold enough where everyone had their winter coats on while eating. The metal seats prob made the situation worse. Regardless would go back to try something different (on a warmer day) read more

Thai Boat - Khaw klook kapi - Thai Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

This place is amazing! The food was delicious and the ambiance was great. We sat outside and the outdoor seating area is so cozy and shaded, perfect for nice weather. The staff were so sweet and attentive. They all came to greet us and gave us complimentary mochi! The food was so so good! We got a dish that our waitress recommended, Khaw Klook Kapi, which is something i've never had before but was so good and flavorful. The rice was even shaped like a cat which was such a cute touch. We also got the wonton skewers as our appetizer and they were DELICIOUS! Super excited to come back again and try a cocktail next time, they have a huge cocktail menu and they all sound great. Would definitely recommend just for the friendly staff alone, and the food is also so great! read more

Stumbled upon this spot when looking for lunch in the Fan. Some of the most authentic Thai food I've had in Richmond. Menu is exactly what it should be- many options without being overly lengthy. Great feel inside- inviting, almost family vibe, and the decor is fantastic. Service was quick and friendly. Food was outstanding. Definitely crafted with experience and enthusiasm. Depth and layers of flavor are true to what you'd get in Bangkok. read more

This Thai Restaurant opened in October of 2025 I recently discovered it and I love Thai food so this was an easy pick for me. Walking into this restaurant you are greeted with a wonderful fun decor and extremely friendly staff. The menu is full of great choices from fresh appetizers, soups, noodle dishes so many choices. I ordered the kanoom-Jeep and the Nam Tok Neua both of these were absolutely delicious so many fresh flavors perfectly cooked. Moving on to entrees I ordered the Mister Noodle and the Larb Gai. These were delicious and plenty of food with very good portions. This place is amazing. Highly recommended and I will return very soon. So happy to have this gem so close to my house. read more

Nice Corner Spot. Vibrant but intimate atmosphere. Friendly Service. Great Drinks. Must Try. 5 Stars.

Amazing food, great drinks, great owner. Give this spot a try if your traveling through richmond.

This place is a hidden gem for authentic Thai food. Ordered the Massaman curry, which took me by surprise from the first taste: such a rich and balanced flavor, tender meat, creamy coconut sauce, and that perfect mix of spice, peanuts, and a hint of sweetness. You can tell the kitchen knows what they're doing and actually cares about the food. read more

Ordered 1 drink and an app then waited an hour and 15 minutes for 2 noodle dishes with chicken. The chicken was raw in the middle... they only refunded us for the one dish. read more

Good location across from Sticky Rice. Staff were very friendly even when it got much busier after we ordered our food. Everything turned out delicious! I ordered the green curry with chicken and it was just the right amount of spice. My friend got the red curry which was much spicier than mine. Four others at our table got a big bowl of noodle soup, perfect for a chilly day like today. Each dish was served with a plate of rice that was shaped like a cat ready to pounce. The inside of the restaurant was cool! Nice vibe and good music through the speakers. Highly recommend this restaurant! read more

The food is unbelievably delicious. Richmond was missing a good Thai restaurant, and I am so excited it's arrived. This place is a gem!

Amazing service and food!!!! The decor and music is also so fun. Would recommend Thai Boat 100% of the time.
