Had dinner at Thai House - University and it delivered exactly what a neighborhood Thai spot should. We ordered the Basil Fried Rice with chicken (added a sunny egg on top), Pad Thai, and the beef skewers. The basil fried rice was the standout. Great wok flavor, rice wasn't soggy, and the egg with crispy edges tied everything together perfectly. I ordered medium spice -- just right for me, although my wife felt the heat immediately. Thai medium is not American medium, so order wisely. The Pad Thai was solid and balanced -- not overly sweet, good noodle texture, generous portion. The beef skewers were tender with nice char and paired well with the peanut sauce. Service was friendly, food came out hot, and portions were generous. Now for my slightly controversial take: in my experience, Asian restaurants are almost never 5-star places. The magic zone is 3.5 to 4 stars. That's where you usually find the most authentic, no-frills, flavor-first cooking. If a place is too polished, something is probably toned down. Thai House sits right in that sweet spot. Would absolutely come back.
I love Thai House! I always order from both locations (Pineville&University) and never have had an issue, which is why today I was a little disappointed. I normally either call in or place my order thru their website, and today I decided to call in. My staple lunch order is either tofu or chicken Tom Kha with a side of steamed noodles - today I opted for tofu. Called ahead reiterated multiple times TOFU with no spice (Im a huugeer spice wimp) and call disconnected before she quoted ETA pick up time. Soup is normally quick so I headed over after about 10min. Upon arrival I provided my name and Im here to pick up my tofu Tom Kha soup. She smiled and nodded and rung me up - about $13 which was suprising because my meal is normally under $10? Figured inflation hit the coconut soup, too. Thanked her and took my lunch home... to my disappointment found it was seafood after picking out all my sea creatures from my soup I found it was a high price to pay for like 3 octopus(?) rings, 1 shrimp and 1 mussel/clam thing? Im on a strict lunch schedule and didnt have time to pick up something else and disappointed after dumping extra lime juice in the soup to try to eliminate the "fishy" taste, it wasnt good enough to mask the taste. If I WAS a seafood soup person, Id be upset to pay $13 for that small portion of protein in this serving size. **JUST MAKE SURE YOU CHECK YOUR ORDER FOR TO-GO BEFORE YOU LEAVE**
This was giving knock off thai food. Idk if it's because I ordered takeout or if I didn't order local favorites but it was a miss for me. When you order takeout everything is in separate containers. I got the Thai sweet & sour with chicken. It comes fried. Heavily battered. There wasn't any flavor to the chicken or the batter. I ate a piece before constructing my bowl just to see. For my rice I did jasmine. They had a lot of other options but usually jasmine is good with this dish. The pinkish-red sauce is questionable. Zero flavor and tons of onions. Literally it was a container full of onions and a scoop of red bell peppers, cucumbers and canned pineapple chunks. I chose #4 spicy and all I saw was some red pepper flakes sprinkled inside. They need to improve the flavor. It's lacking. Comes with a fried spring roll. I had also ordered the fried spring roll appetizer. Comes with 3 and a dipping sauce. The dipping sauce had more flavor than the sweet & sour sauce. I would eat the spring rolls again.
First time in and the inside is beautiful. Im a sucker for art and they have the entrance decorated real nice. Also a sucker for Thai food and this place did not disappoint. I got a Duck Panang and shared mango sticky rice with my friend both were amazing. Never had mango sticky rice before and if you haven't you should definatley get some from here. 10/10 the server was super friendly and attentive.
Pleasant customer service and fresh food for a take out order. Note that the soup is for dine in only, but we were very kindly offered soup to enjoy at the bar while we waited for our food!
Quick and easy for lunch. My staff comes here often. It wasn't super busy and we were in and out in 45 mins. The staff was kind. The food was okay. I probably should have gotten at least a level 1 spicy for additional flavor. The restaurant was nicely decorated and not too loud.
Love the service, ambiance of the place, and I just can't get enough of their iced jasmine tea!! But their pad kee mow was just not what it used to be. They made it with the red pad Thai sauce and I immediately noticed and did not like it. The noodles were all broken up into little pieces. I asked the waitress and she said they make it with the red sauce because everyone prefers it and I would've had to ask for Thai style. They did remake my plate for me which I appreciate but it just wasn't the same as what it used to be. I always come here every year for the authentic taste but probably not anymore.
Thai House is convenient to my workplace, so I was really hoping this restaurant would become a favorite. I visited on a Saturday afternoon and the place was full of people, which is typically a good sign. The cucumber salad was fresh & plentiful but lacked flavor. The steamed potstickers were overcooked and stuck together on the plate. They were flavorless, but the sesame soy sauce was passable. The Tom Kha soup was watery, but had slightly more flavor. I was never asked about spice level for the food. Customers new to Thai food may be satisfied with Thai House, but I will continue to search.

Yum neur, it was spicy to my liking more of chili flakes than the sliced Thai red hot chiles. The container wasn't closed completely and leaked out. Green curry was delicious. Tom yum had all the right spices. Thai coffee was perfect, I should have ordered an XL. Pad Thai tasted like tomato which was weird. read more
Visited Thai House during a business trip and ordered takeout. The online ordering process was convenient and made it easy to grab food on the go. I ordered the broccoli fried rice and the knockout rolls. The broccoli fried rice was decent--nothing extraordinary, but it satisfied my hunger. I ordered it at a level 2 spice, which ended up being a bit spicier than I expected. It also could have used a little more flavor overall. The knockout rolls were good and generously filled, which I appreciated. My only complaint was the peanut sauce, it tasted more like hoisin sauce, and I wish it had a stronger peanut flavor. The service was also very good. The staff at the front were friendly, welcoming, and made picking up my order a pleasant experience. Overall, it was an alright Thai restaurant. It may not be the most memorable meal, but it's a convenient option if you're looking for a quick Thai takeout spot with great service. read more
Delicious! From the moment I entered the restaurant for their dinner service I was greeted warmly and seated in a comfortable booth near the bar area. I had skipped lunch so ordered the Tom Yum soup with chicken as an appetizer while I waited for my friends to join me. It was so good! I can see why this sour and spicy soup is so popular. For dinner I went with the Pad See-Ewe with beef. I usually order standard pad thai, but so glad I tried something new. It was fantastic. Will definitely return to this location. read more

I ordered uber eats from here tonight for the first time. I ordered "normal spicy " but extra sauce on the side to control my own spice because I've never ate there so I wasn't confident in their spicy levels. However, they didn't send the sauce and the pad Thai had little flavor with NO spice at all! I'm so upset. They do give you a good portion of food though and that is the only reason I didn't give a one star read more

Great little Thai spot in the University area. Food was delicious just the right spice and right portions. Not bad for a strip mall. Service was excellent and very friendly. Recommend for a low-key and nice casual date night, mini golf in the same complex. read more

I got tired of eating the same thing for lunch everyday and then I found this spot. I haven't had Thai food in soooo long and this food was bomb. I've been twice and the first time I had the yellow curry with beef off the lunch special. They bring out the soup of the day first and then your dish comes out after it was very good and I poured the curry sauce over the rice and it was hitting! . On my second visit I had the Pad Thai with shrimp lunch special and that was so filling! I'm an early lunch person and they open at 11am on weekdays, I was there shortly after they opened so it wasn't busy at all. The staff was very kind and checked on me periodically to see if I needed anything. I'll continue to come back here and explore the menu and try new things read more

This is the best Thai food I have been to outside of the country itself! The true Thai culture of kindness and attentiveness was amazing. All the classic Thai Art is super rad too, but the food is the best!!! read more

I was noottt impressed and highly disappointed, lol. I called in a to-go order of lunch shrimp drunken noodles with the "skinny pad Thai noodles instead of the thick ones". I even repeated it once more, for clarification. Basically, the order was incorrect and just not good. They gave me pad Thai with a couple of uncooked bell pepper strips and maybe 5 frozen section shrimp. The noodles were way over cooked...they did not have that springy, Al dente texture that you want in a rice noodle (it's the whole reason I offered the skinny noodles instead of thick). The "pad Thai sauce" was pretty much sweet, orange sauce. It was quite unappetizing. I paid $14.50 for this dish...really, someone should've paid me to eat it. Other photos on their Yelp page didn't look great but I decided to give them a try. This is all I needed to experience...won't be back. read more
I've always enjoyed coming here or one of the other Thai House locations in Charlotte for authentic Thai food. The staff is always so friendly when arriving and dining. They always make sure you're taken care of. The first thing I ordered was Pad Kee Maw, Thai Style with shrimp. It's very reminiscent of pad thai due to the rice noodles but something about the flavor is different. On a scale of 1-5 of being spicy, I'd say it's about a 3. Tolerable with a mild kick. The lime garnish helps it give a whole other flavor to it. The other was Kang Masaman with chicken. This curry is interesting in flavor due to it not being spicy but more along the lines of being mild and sour. The flavors were pretty robust and eating it along side rice changes it and helps balances some flavors out. My go to spot for Thai food for sure read more

Came for lunch with a coworker yesterday who's never had Thai food, as we heard good things about this place. We were seated in the back, a really uncomfy booth. Since he's never had Thai food, it took longer to order, and a wait staff came by every minute, making it even more uncomfortable to decide. I went with the Thursday special, the green chicken with curry and rice. Our soups and drinks came out super quick, didn't care for the soup. I think it had instant ramen noodles in it? The curry really lacked much flavor, even at a spice level of 3. The dragon noodles (pad kee maw) did not look like what I was used to, and doused in oil. So I'm hungry and eating my chicken curry, and when I scoop my chicken halfway through...a HUGE BUG was on the chicken. Antennas and eyes and everything. I so wish I took a photo, but I showed the waitress and she immediately took it away. She offered me a refund or something new to eat, but at that point, my coworker and I were both disgusted that we did not want anything else and he stopped eating his noodle dish. Kudos to them for owning up to it though. What a sad day as I was craving Asian food, and my coworker's first try at Thai food. read more
So this is actually the first Thai restaurant since i came from LA that has authentically captured my heart. The food was amazing and the Tom kha was by far my favorite in the city as of now! The also give you a free veggie soup to start the meal. The customer service was awesome and the urgency was there. Thank you for such a great experience. read more

What is the difference in Signature Pad Thai and the Thai Style Pad Thai?
I believe the Thai Style has more fish sauce. I think this is more authentic. The signature is more of a sweet and sour base. More syrupy and orange.
