Fried rice
John B.

It's a bit of a tough one. I stopped in for what was labeled on the menu: a vegan Pad Thai (I'm not vegan mind you, that's just what I wanted). The owner warned me that he makes his Pad Thai sauce with fish sauce, so despite what's on the menu, he couldn't make it vegan. On one hand, I appreciate the honesty. On the other hand, a bit of a puzzler, as it's not that hard to make a good fish-free Pad Thai sauce, and a bunch of vegetarians, vegans, people with allergies, and people who don't like the taste of fish sauce would sure like that option. I was told the only thing I could get vegan was fried rice, so I got that. It arrived tasty and full of fermented black beans. There was a bit of what might have been egg (or maybe just shreds of tofu); I couldn't tell and I didn't want to push it as there was clearly a bit of a language barrier. The rice was delicious, and I'm all for a small business making things fresh, run by someone who knows the cuisine. The food was tasty and I ate it. I can't really recommend it from a special diet perspective though; not enough clarity there. So this review is a bit of a compromise and I'll leave it at that.

Khanom Jeeb, DRUNKEN NOODLES, Thai Fried Rice
Shannon W.

Gosh this place is so delicious and cheap!! Everything on the menu is priced in the single digits. We got an assortment of appetizers, fried rice, and drunken noodles. Food came out fast and piping hot. The khanom jeeb reminded me of shumai, the spring rolls were so crispy. The drunken noodles were a bit oily but I love the usage of spaghetti noodles and medium spice will be more spicy than most restaurants but still manageable. Also, everything is just the right portion (not too big or small) so you can really try everything! This Thai food really tastes like top tier street food, it definitely offers something more unique than your typical Thai restaurant.

"drunken noodles"; pad thai, green curry
Stephanie H.

This was my first time trying Thai Fresh. I ordered through a third party delivery service and food arrived quickly, everything was hot and well packed! The green curry had nice spice to it, which was a pleasant surprise since there were no options for spice levels or spice on the side when ordering. It was a little weird to have steamed broccoli and carrots in the curry, but not a total turnoff. Neither of those ingredients were listed on the menu and I'd prefer them left out next time. They were both a little mushy and just didn't fit with the dish. The tofu and curry sauce/broth were both on point though! Would love to have this again with fresh basil. I don't really love pad thai, but I always try it when my partner gets it. I actually liked this one. It was hot, fresh and had great flavor. The portion was very generous, especially for the price! The chicken was perfect. The"Drunken Noodle" was not really Drunken Noodle. I wish they'd call it something else. It tastes more like a cross between lo mein and a stir-fried noodle dish from a Chinese restaurant. There were no typical Thai flavors in this and no resemblance to drunken noodles at all; they use spaghetti noodles. Having said that, it's not a bad dish. If you want stir-fried, salty-ish noodles, this is a great value. Huge portion at a very reasonable price. We would actually order this as a side dish to share. I wish there was an option to order it with the rice noodles they use in the pad thai. It would work much better. The Thai tea was huge and very good! Definitely sweet, but that's typical. Would get again for sure. It was big enough for two of us to share.

Mixed Veggies with Chicken
Destiny A.

This is a convenient spot situated downtown offering both dine-in and take out options. Masks are required (per the door sign) but I was the only customer so I didn't observe masks being enforced. The restaurant was pretty clean and also very slow ( Thursday Afternoon). I ordered my food Togo and waited for it at a window seat. I was asked about the spice level for my meal which I specified ( 4 out of 5 ). The food was out in about 8 minutes which was very quick but as I stated they were empty. My food came and I observed immediately the large hard chunks of rice which resemble none other than old rice. Not spoiled or bad, just old and not very warm. The entire portion was excellent! Vegetables were cooked but not over done, fresh, and seasoned well. The main draw was that the food wasn't spicy at all. The wonton soup was just ok. It honestly tasted like water with bean sprouts and garlic. When I got home I added in my own spices as well as to the chicken and vegetables. The food was hot and I would possible visit again. Pros: Quick Service Good prices Great size Portions The Garlic sauce cooked with the main dish was delicious ( not spicy ) Vegetables were fresh Cons: Old rice was given Food wasn't prepared as asked The soup I would skip or try another They use styrofoam containers

Khanom Jeeb
Jannatul P.

Was craving some Thai food especially with being cooped up because of quarantine and had heard about Thai fresh from some college friends. I ordered the Thai gyoza, khanom jeeb, and spicy pad Thai - everything was so cheap and so DELICIOUS. The gyoza and khanom jeeb were so succulent and well seasoned. They both came with a soy sauce and a sweeter sauce that worked really well with both dishes. The pad Thai was ACTUALLY spicy which was such a wonderful surprise because it's been hard to find Thai food at a good spice level. The portions were huge especially for the price and I had enough food to last two more meals. The service was also really quick - Food is currently only ordered to go. The food came out really quickly and was very convenient especially with my busy schedule that day. Had a good time talking to the owner as well - was super friendly and approachable! Delicious food and great service!

Fried rice with no egg and tofu instead of chicken
Ashley R.

Just stumbled upon this place last night while walking the pedestrian mall. First of all it's so cheap!! It's a little weird because you're served on styrofoam plates... but for the price, it's fine! I'm vegan and I got the fried rice with no egg, and tofu instead of chicken. The only man working there was so sweet and accommodating. The food was ready quickly and tasted really good. It had little to no spice though, so when I go back I'll be sure to talk to the chef and see what he can do. (They don't ask or indicate on the menu anything about spice level like most Thai restaurants do) This is a small place, no romantic ambiance or anything but I will definitely return for more cheap Thai food.

I love Thai food, especially when Thai Basil Fried Rice is involved. I got the chicken version,…read morewith a spice level of 4 out of 5, and it was perfect. The only thing that would make it better would be if it was ground chicken. There was a ton of it, so I had lunch covered too. I also tried the Crying Tiger appetizer and it was delicious. It came with some chili sauce so you could spice it up to your taste, and that was appreciated. I would like to have had the option of chopsticks, but since it was close to closing time, and I eat faster with a fork, I didn't ask for any. The service was great, a team effort, and that seemed to fit with the casual yet classy feel of the restaurant. It's a great place to go have a chill evening with spicy Thai food and a couple of cold beers. I would definitely go back.

I came across this spot for lunch on my way back home. It's pretty small with a handful of tables…read moreand an open style kitchen. We were sat promptly as there was only one other table at the time there but once we were sat about 5 more tables came in. Our server brought waters to start and I had a Thai tea, which was good, not too sweet- which I like. I order the dumpling as an app, they're pretty small but you get a good amount and the sauce was really good. In order the red curry and my husband ordered the Thai fried rice. Both were really good. I liked his dish a bit more, it was very savory. The red curry had fresh vegetables in it and still had a nice crunch to it, which I like. If we're back in Charlottesville we'll def go back.

Delicious! I got the pad see eaw with tofu. It had egg and a green leafy veggies that was delicious…read morewith the spicy sauce. Also the spice level was three. Next time I will tone it down to two, but it was really good. Got my sinuses going! There was also a small salad that came with it with delicious dressing. The mango sticky rice was also really good. Very sweet and flavorful and perfect with the mangoes. There was also a creamy sweet sauce on top of the rice. Really good! I highly recommend this place for your Thai fix!

If you're craving Thai food in Charlottesville, you MUST, must, must come here. The owner does all…read morethe cooking herself and is an absolute powerhouse. Despite doing all the cooking, while also taking orders (online and in-person), being the epitome of warm and welcoming, and remembering customers' preferences, her dishes never miss. And I mean never. The noodles are always excellent and always fresh and full of flavor. The fusion items are also so inventive and delicious (including the birria ramen). They also have the most delicious pad thai and pad see eaw in town (having tried the other local spots many times over and been disappointed). This restaurant and owner deserves all the recognition and appreciation in the world. I really cannot emphasize enough how much I love this place. Would rather wait if they're closed than go anywhere else!
