We spent three weeks in Thailand. We decided to stop here and had THE most amazing Thai food. My wife had the avocado chicken and Larb salad. I had the Pad Pik Chicken. My dish was the best Thai dish I have ever eaten including in Thailand. My wife truly enjoyed her dishes as well. We will certainly return. read more

Comical waiter. I had the pad Thai lunch with chicken and shrimp. Healthy portion for a lunch. Pad Thai is always my go to. One of my favorite dishes. This location is in a strip mall and parking is ample. Restaurant is comfortable but a tight space. read more

I love Thai gormet! And I am so glad we have something local to satisfy my thai craving! I tried takeout for the first time, and I definitely believe this place is much better sitting inside but that's typically how most food is! I tried the pad kee-mao for the first time, and it was good but a bit too saucy for me. The noodles were a bit tough and stuck together which probably is just from the takeout box but it was flavorful but felt it was lacking meat. I would definitely stick with the pad thai or a stirfry from them. But it had a bold spicy flavor which I appreciate and I'm glad I tried it. The spicy minced chicken was a great size for the price and it being an appetizer. It was SO flavorful, and I just wanted to eat the chicken and order that all over again! So yummy. The wonton soup wasn't my favorite, the broth was basic but the wontons were soft and flavorful so I definitely tried to get a bite of wonton in every scoop. I probably wouldn't order it again, but it was nice to try as I know I already love a lot from Thai Gourmet. If looking for an app, try the potstickers! read more

I came here with a date in mid summer and we got two pad Thais when we ordered 1 with something else - my date tipped generously even though they got his order wrong. He gave them both to me and went over to order at chipotle. The food was mild but hot when it came out fresh. The flavor was more water downed than usual for pad Thai. We took the order to go . Usually they don't get the order wrong read more

My work order is food to go. The food was ok. I had the pad Thai and it was flavored well but kind of dry. I would order again but dine in for a better experience. read more

This used to be my favorite lunch spot but the food and service are unrecognizable. So sad to see a favorite Thai restaurant lose its way. The dishes are lacking flavor, servers didn't know menu and kitchen is lacking skills to prepare Thai dishes read more

Got very ill twice after eating here. Both myself and wife. This was sometime ago. They may have cleaned up their food handling since then since then but I am unwilling to try for a third time. too, bad because they have a great menu. read more

Ordered delivery. Pineapple chicken and cashew chicken. Pineapple chicken was supposed to be fried chicken with sauce but the chicken was super soggy with very little flavor. The cashew chicken was extremely bland. Hardly ate any. Do not recommend at all. read more

I ordered takeout for the Brocolli chicken lunch And ordered fried rice instead of white rice. There was an upcharge for the fried rice. The food was very bland. The chicken texture was slimy. Unfortunately, I will not order again. read more

Thai Gourmet - Broccoli chicken lunch takeout - Thai Near Me - Independence, Ohio

I didn't realize that I had been to this restaurant before. I ordered takeout and picked it up. Which is think made a huge difference rather than having a delivery service. The food was piping hot and it seems like it's a popular place for takeout. It was towards the end of their service and although online ordering was done, we could still call and place the order. There were a few people waiting to collect their takeout orders. The customer service was great and the restaurant looks quite nice. The takeout pick up is in the very back of the restaurant. I got the pan fried dumplings and the Siam tofu curry. The curry is definitely much better than the past order. The broth was so flavorful that I would've been over the moon with just a bowl of that either way rice. Of course there was rice and veggies which were delicious. I wish the tofu would've been able to soak up the broth more but I wouldn't say that's a deal breaker by any means. The dumplings were ok. The dipping sauce made them more tasty. But I wouldn't say this is a must order. I think next time I'll get a curry and try some noodles. Definitely would come back again read more

This was an interesting place. We got take away, but even after ordering 30 mins in advance (at a time the restaurant was not at all busy) we had to wait 15 minutes for the order. It seemed they were having bad take out day. The food was extra amazing, along with the portions and the look of it. We got the Pad Kee Mao noodles and the mango chicken. The noodles were nice and spicy with tons and tons of veggies. The mango chicken was very flavorful, it would have been even better if the mango was sweeter and now raw. The food portions had us stuffed rolling around in bed after we were done. On a trip this is exactly what you need, delicious no frills filling food. read more

Dropped by at lunchtime on a weekday. One or two other tables were occupied and already eating. We ordered Thai beef salads. Took a long time for a simple order. Another group arrived maybe 10 minutes after us. Their food came out way before ours, and server spent a deal of time chatting with them- regulars, maybe. Salads arrived. Veggies were fresh, but beef was very tough. Overall bland and not really any flavour. Lots of liquid was left in the bottom of the salad bowl. I love Thai beef salads in general, but don't feel this measured up. Had to get up and hunt down the server for the check and then again to pay. Turns out the item is more expensive than they tell you on their own website menu. Turns out they upcharge you if paying with CC. Did not see this posted or mentioned on the menu- if it was their it was certainly made to be not prominent. No one likes surprises. There are too many decent Thai restaurants that I will continue to patronize, but not this one. read more

Was in Independence and remembered this gem. It has been years since I've had the opportunity to return. So glad I remembered this place. The cashew nut chicken was amazing. (I asked for brown rice and got white but the great taste of the dish made up,for the oops) My husband had the shrimp,pad Thai and he loved it! It was a great portion. He had enough for lunch the next day. Definitely recommend Thai Gourmet ! read more

Recently visited this restaurant and ordered shrimp patay with rice. I've been to Thailand and the food here was delicious. Beautifully cooked, sauce was so good. Service was excellent with the comedy waiter. Played a loud version of Happy Birthday for my friend and then gave her a tiramisu which when said was better than any she had had in an Italian restaurant. I will definitely go back and try the Pad Thai. Lovely interior. read more

I was very excited to go to Thai Gourmet. But I'm all honesty I was disappointed. It's cute enough inside, and they were even growing pepper plants which gave me good vibes. I ordered Nam Sod, which is my favorite Thai. It was different from any nam sod I'd ever had. And not in a good way. read more

Website was down so had to go in to order takeout. The restaurant has a challenging setup which makes service rough but the food was good! They still seem to have the same setup from Covid with very high booths that keep you from being able to see into the restaurant well. Led to a lot of confusion from customers as we awkwardly waiting around not knowing what to do. I got the pad Thai and the Thai rolls. Both were good. Nothing special, but good. Maybe would have felt differently if I ate there. read more

I traveled from NJ to visit friends and came to Thai Gourmet as I heard great things about it. I was not disappointed! Even though the name of the restaurant says "Thai," the menu also includes many favorite Chinese-American dishes. Our group ordered Thai Spring Rolls and Crab Rangoon to start. Both were freshly fried; the crab rangoon had a very crab-forward filling (which can be lacking in many Chinese restaurants)... ooey gooey and very delicious. A great way to start a meal! I ordered the Thai Green Curry with beef. The beef slices were tender; the curry sauce was spot on. Great depth of flavor, with enough heat to be present but not set your mouth on fire, and the coconut milk to balance the heat. Others in our party got the Pineapple Fried Rice and Green Pepper Steak. Those dishes were just as well crafted and prepared as my Curry dish. As great as the food was, the two biggest takeaways are value and customer service. Portions were very generous, and the prices were very affordable. I most likely would have had to pay double the prices in NJ/NYC that we did at Thai Gourmet. The quality of the food could rival any Thai spot in central NJ or the Lower East Side of NYC. The ambiance is not pretentious at all, and the staff makes you feel like family from the moment you walk in. If you live or work in Independence, OH and are a fan of Thai food, consider yourselves lucky that Thai Gourmet is in your backyard. read more

About 4-5 of us from work go here for lunch regularly. We are pretty picky and a diverse group of different nationalities and we have never been disappointed. I love the mango chicken and get it each time. The sauce is perfect with generous pieces of fresh mango. The decor is nice though I am not fond of the high booths which went in during Covid, but it's still nice with a peaceful & sophisticated asian vibe. read more

10/10. The owner has so much passion and really cares for his customers. I am a regular and always go for the chicken Pad Thai because it is gluten free. My family loves so many dishes from this place. Give it a try! read more

Usually I avoid places that serve both Thai and Chinese food because that typically means that the restaurant can't do either very well so they have to do both, but I was actually mildly surprised but also slightly disappointed at the same time. - Green Curry Chicken - The flavor was actually spot on. The curry has that coconut but spicy flavor with my favorite bamboo shoots. Goes very well with rice. My one complaint was that the chicken was too soggy and it felt like it was falling apart not in a way that it should, aka shredded. - Curry Fish (Red) - Although the curry was fantastic, the fish was way too oily. When you picked the fish up, oil was dripping from its sides and it felt like they didn't give it adequate time to rest and drain out the oil. - Pad See Ew (Beef) - Pretty solid and standard dish, its hard to go wrong with Pad See Ew. I didn't really like the beef. It seemed like it was frozen over and then cooked because the texture felt like it was falling apart. Overall, not bad for a Thai place, especially in Cleveland. Would skip the Curry Fish and would get just the plain curry. It is on the pricier side though. read more

I had ordered over the phone the vegetable pad Thai, vegetable spring roll and wonton soup. The wonton soup had a nice light broth but was still quite flavorful. There was a mistake in the order but it was quickly dealt with well. The atmosphere in the restaurant itself was quite nice and well decorated.The pad thai was nice but not super flavorful without the lime. And the spring rolls were nice and crispy and came with a good amount of sauce. Overall a good meal. read more

I'm not in the business of trying to hurt small businesses. I do, however, have to say the dish I was recently served at the Thai Gourmet was very very bad. I only ordered the chicken pad Thai, but was told it is one of their specialty dishes. Having eaten this dish around the country and abroad, I was very much in the mood for and looking for forward to eating it. I was sadly disappointed as the rice noodles were overcooked and broke apart into small 2 inch pieces. There was too much egg in the dish. The sauce was the worst part because it was not like a typical pad Thai sauce, it was more of a pasty red curry sauce with zero taste. So to sum it up, overcooked rice noodles, sauce was pasty and not like a traditional pad Thai sauce, and it overall the dish had minimal taste. Atmosphere was very nice and the service was also very good. read more

What happened to the Thai Gourmet I know and love? I'm a frequent guest at Thai Gourmet, but I'm concerned that there might be a change in management or the kitchen. The food was subpar. The pad Thai was totally flavorless and a mountain of stuck together noddles. My colleagues food on the other hand was just swimming in soy sauce and so hot it was nearly unbearable. We didn't send it back, but will also not return. Sorry to see the neighborhood gem gone downhill read more

This place is just off Rockside rd. It is SOOOO GOOOD!!! The wife and I got the spring roll app. You get six of the fried rolls, and a kind of sweet and sour dipping sauce. Now, wifey and I usually get different things. So we can "share" (awe, how cute!) but in this case we both got the Pad Thai. You know how most Thai or Vietnam restaurants don't have lunch specials? And if they do, it is usually some Chinese dish. THIS PLACE has regular Thai stuff at lunch prices. So, $14.98 pad Thai is dinner price. $10.98 is lunch price. And there was a lot. We took leftovers home, reheated beautifully. AND AND AND, it was chicken AND shrimp. On same plate, not either/or. And it tasted GREAT! My wife struck up a convo with the lady in the next booth, who turned out to be the owners sister. And the owner himself was doing the table waiting. And he was a great guy too. Asked for extra peanuts, came right out. It was one of the best Thai meals I've ever had. And I was in the Air Force. Lots of friends with Thai wives who were VERY popular when it came to going over their houses for dinner. I tossed in a couple pics, let's see, oh yeah, it's in a plaza, huge plaza, lots of restaurants. Independence OHIO is worth the road trip, just for this place. Better than the ones in Kent. I am going to be hitting this place next time I'm driving up in that area. Like I said, like a mile or two off of I-77, easy to get in and out. Plenty of free parking, and the plaza itself is pretty massive, lots of stores for wandering around. read more

My favorite Thai place in the Cleveland area! The only bad part, but I understand ... is when we are trying to decide on what to do for lunch / dinner on Sunday...and I recommend this place, but closed :) Everything I have ordered has always been amazing...LOVE this place! read more

Highly recommend! The food was made fresh and was delicious. Had the crab ragon, pork pot stickers and spicy pork wontons. The potstickers and wontons were very similar but with two different sauces. Both good but if you like spice the spicy wonton were my favorite. Had the pad thai which was a very generous portion and came with chicken and shrimp. Also tried the szechaun chicken with fried rice. It had a good spice but not over powering. Cannot mention enough how nice the server and the owner were. Will definitely be back. read more

First time. Didn't care for it. Had the spicy noodles with chicken. And man the coconut chicken noodle soup is a acquired taste. And it's not noodles it's sliced bamboo shoots cut like noodles. Not a bad place but I just didn't care for it myself. read more

Everything was excellent! Food, Service and Ambiance. Started with Hot & Sour soup and Chicken Coconut soup. Both exceptionally good! Thai rolls were very good too. My meal was Pa-Nang Beef which I enjoyed. The Puket Beef was REALLY good! The Coconut Fried Banana desert was a nice finish. Sadly I forgot to take photos. Prices were a little high but still Highly recommended. read more

Ordered the mongolese entree to go. Was supposed to be served over rice noodles. No rice noodles they gave plain white rice on the side.

I visited Thai Gourmet in Independence, Ohio last week and it was delicious! The restaurant is small, but cozy. I arrived early around 4:30 pm so I was the only person dining in the restaurant, I was waited on quite quickly even though there seemed to be only one server at the time. I will say that there was a steady flow of food picker-upers coming in. I ordered the Thai Spring Rolls which were served in a cute boat dish with a sweet and sour dipping sauce. The rolls were very hot and crispy. They were quite good, I was able to take a few home for lunch the next day. Additionally, I ordered the Avocado Thai Entre with beef; it was delicious! The sauce had a pleasant taste and smell of coconut milk which perfectly balanced the spice in the dish. It was served with white rice which came in a separate dish. Overall I would recommend Thai Gourmet. It is reasonably priced and has a great menu selection. My only criticism would be the portion size of the entre...I ate the whole thing and didn't have leftovers like I usually have from Thai and Chinese restaurants. Maybe it was just that good??? read more

Had a late dinner here one evening. I sat myself and then waited about 10 minutes before I was brought a menu and water. Ordered the Tom Yum soup with chicken and a the Kee Mao Gai with chicken. The soup had a nice spice level. But the Kee Mao Gai was sitting in a pool of liquid - first time I've ever had a drunken noodle dish swimming in liquid. Not a great dish. #ThaiGourmet read more

Picked this place on my way out of town. The restaurant is cozy, small and has a nice ambiance. The server was very kind and seems to have a great rapport with the regular customers. He was super polite and made me feel right at home. The food came shortly and was quite good I had the spicy noodles, the dish was the perfect spice level for me, just enough heat with great flavor as well. Overall I would definitely recommend this restaurant to all. read more
