Delicious, quick, and nice portions. I had the crispy duck with red curry and it was great. read more

Thai Isaan Kitchen - Thai Near Me - Vienna, 9

I've gotten take-out here twice now. The first time was quick and the spring rolls were fresh and delicious. Spot on. This most recent time, I ordered a noodle dish and sat down to wait. Twenty minutes later, thinking chicken and noodles shouldn't really take this long, I stood up and one of the employees asked me whatt I had ordered; turns out my food had been ready at least five minutes but they had just forgotten to so much as announce when it was ready. Ah well, forgivable. Unfortunately, though, once I took it back to my place to eat, I found it to be really, really oily. The ingredients and flavor were good, I just felt like I was eating a lot more oil than necessary. read more

Thai Isaan is a Thai restaurant in Vienna that as you can tell from its name specializes in the cooking of Isaan near the northeastern Laotian border. I think it is terrific so it was the perfect place for a little Yelp get-together. The service here is always so friendly and full of smiles and despite their small size and popularity, they do everything they can to accommodate you. In nice weather there is a Schanigarten which helps with space for all the folks hoping to eat here. You can't go wrong with an Isaan dish and I totally recommend the delicious Nom Tok Mu. This is spicy .... but they have a great hot condiment tray available if you want to add even more heat. I did! Non-Isaan Thai dishes are also well prepared. The Gai Phad King is a great mixture of flavors but do know that the ginger is plentiful and spicy in this chicken dish. A Singha beer from Thailand is the perfect accompaniment to the food. Thai Isaan is a wonderful restaurant to be aware of and fortunately for me it's only a ten minute walk from my apartment. read more

This place is really close to home so we thought we would try it. I had the Pad Thai and at nearly 10EUR (Which I don't think is so cheap), I was expecting good things. However, it is hard to have any kind of fair review for any product once you have tasted what you consider to be "the best" of something. In this case, comparing to Ra'mien, which is just down the street. Yes ra'mien is a bit more pricey, but that really shows in the deficit of full flavour and quality ingredients. It just tasted a bit... Sad. The chicken and tofu were dry as hell, the flavour was pretty good but it didn't feel like much love had gone into this dish, one of many on the menu. I would rather spend an extra 4EUR and have an amazing pad thai at ra'mein. Other reviews say this place is good value for money but I just can't agree as most dishes are just stir fried veg + meat + sauce + rice/noodles and cost around 10-12EUR. You get get a better quality product for a much better price down the street at Wok n Walk (opposite Le Pho). read more

Delicious food, good value, and long hours make Thai Isaan a great take-out option 7 days a week. The green curry was delicious and a little spicy, though not as spicy as I expected from the 3-chili rating on the menu. My friends tried the pad thai (tasty) and the chicken with cashews (good, but a bit under seasoned). We also tried the chicken satay and springroll starters. The springrolls were nice, but the chicken satay with its gooey peanut sauce was awesome! The staff were very friendly, the food prepared fresh and fast, and they even have an English menu if you need. The ambiance is clean and bright and I would be happy to eat my food there (I think most people take out), though not the ideal place for a date. I'll be going back any time I need a good taste of Thailand! read more

The food of this Thai restaurant isn't hard to describe: simply delicious. They have a lot of Thai dishes, with noodles or rice, meat, fish, seafoods or vegetarian, spicy (!) or not, curry, a few salads as well... ...but always very tasty! You have to order at the bar the drinks as well as the food. They will then cook it for you and bring it to your table. A little warning though: since they cook in the main room directly at the bar, it can be very hot inside! read more

Reasonably authentic Thai food in a laid back, casual and crowded setting. I can't really think of many better Thai places, but, still, this one leaves me a wanting a better option. In the States, London or any other major metropolis outside of Thailand, I'd consider this "meh". For Vienna, it's relatively bangin'. So give it one more star if you want to see the rank for Thai in Vienna My first confusion comes from the fact that, for a place called Isaan, I didn't see much Isaan cooking on the menu. Maybe I missed it. For the most part, the menu ranges the entire Thai kitchen. I will have to hunt for some Isaan delights, although they do have spicy papaya salad, which is a famous Isaan dish that is now eaten all over Thailand. Also: I am slow sometimes and probably missed the "Isaan" section of the menu. I have been here a few times. First visit, we stuck to some of the things we know from our travels in Thailand and a nearly life-long love of the cuisine. It was awesome to see something *very* similar to Pad Prikh King on the menu and, when I asked the waiter if it was, indeed, Pad Prikh King, he said it was. Well, it wasn't, actually, because the curry paste used was all wrong for PPK. Regardless, the dish was still pretty tasty. We tried a basic stir-fry which lacked much zip or depth, and the Lad Na looks like cornstarch soup instead of the nicely-seared noodles with a thickened gravy one would see at a street stall in Thailand. On subsequent visits, we've had several other dishes. None are really worth avoiding (other than the Lad Na), nor are they worth seeking out. The pad thai is actually nicely done, both the shrimp and chicken version. I might give this place the "number two" slot for pad thai in Vienna. I still haven't tried any of the curries, but I can't imagine they are the best in town based on visuals alone. However, I think they will be solid. The way it works is that you order at the counter, then they bring your food to you. You pay at the end of your meal by going back up to the counter, so it is basically self-service. I like that for the ease and the fact that your'e not at the mercy of a waiter or waitress to handle everything for you. The kitchen can get backed up, so be prepared to wait. However, it won't be interminable: those women back there are *cranking*. My favorite part about this place, though, is the fact that they crank out the food as fast as they can. Unlike a lot of places in Vienna, they seem to focus on getting the people in-and-out as quickly as possible. This can be A Very Good Thing. Sometimes -- every meal doesn't have to involve endless dicking around at the table, reading, smoking... You're only paying 10EUR and you're not renting the table: down your dish and move on to let some other people eat! read more

A little bit more outside of the asian quarter of the naschmarkt, this little shop tastes fresh and great... though recently their price range has slightly risen, it is still a tasty, healthy and authentic variation to the casual "3,90 fried noodles with chicken-bucket food handout", which seem to pop up like mushrooms around vienna. The interior looks cheap, but the charm of a handful thai cooks and the friendly guy behind the counter lets you forget for a couple of seconds, that you're in Europe. One thing: if you order take out, either bring two seperate transport boxes, or don't consider ordering dishes with rice, as they don't seperate them. read more

Two words: Pad Thai. Amazing. Also tried the chicken and cashew nuts which was nice. The starters are good too (try the chicken satay - the peanut sauce is delicious!) Owner and staff are extremely friendly and accommodating. Don't expect a big, cosy restaurant though, I'd describe it as more of a diner. Prices are ok - good thai food isn't that common in Vienna in my opinion so I am happy to pay for it. read more

Small restaurant (only about 6 tables) but the food was delicious and authentic. I had the chicken red curry and it was exactly how I like it! Tons of fresh vegetables, tender chicken, and with a nice spicy kick! They accept cash and credit cards and offer FREE tap water which is always a rarity in Vienna. If you want good Thai food. Come here. read more

Thai Isaan Kitchen - Chicken Red Curry! - Thai Near Me - Vienna, 9

I don't know what this Musician guy from Irvine is talking about. I found the owner always really friendly and fun and the food was super - just ask them to make it authentically spicy, not Europeanized. read more

Food was so-so. Ordered for beef and pork fried rice, only chicken. Pork and beef pad Thai, only chicken. Beef curry, guess what? Only chicken. What the F__K!? Service was terrible. I think the owner/cashier needs to get training for customer service. He's so horribly RUDE! Will never come back. Too bad we left tip. They don't deserve it read more

Was in VIE for a couple of days, one of my favorite cities in Europe. Found this place near my hotel, gave them a try. Solid traditional Issan-style menu, good portions, although a little pricier than I thought it would be, maybe EUR 1 or so an item. Was pretty hungry, but got filled up on Pad Thai and Larb (chicken). Service, quick, fast, easy. You order from the board, and they cook right in front of you. Can't go wrong here..definitely will return next time I'm here. read more

This place is nice if you want a quick dinner. I enjoyed the spring rolls. I thought my dish was pretty bland, but still pretty good.

my favourite thai take away :) the place isn't fancy at all, but that doesn't matter, you can still hang out there when you don't want to get take away. the food is absolutely delicious and freshly prepared (you can even watch them cooking) and the staff is super friendly (there's self service btw). at lunchtime you can also choose between three or two different menus which are quite inexpensive :) and make sure to try the aloe juice - I love love love it! read more

Once THE Thai place on Vienna. Got too pricey for the fare. Pad Thai was rubbery and too dry. EUR 45 (incl. tip) for 2 entrees plus canned drinks is too expensive - considering the fast food ambience. read more

Well, guess I won't be going back, since it does not matter how good the curry is if you cannot even get some. Should not even be one star here... dissappointing! So looked like they got a bit of a face lift, but hardly. On the other hand, as long as its clean, all good. The menu seems to have significantly changed, with only two curry options (green with chicken/beef, red with fried duck, sorry did not get veg section), prices in the 10 Euro range, and portions of the guests looked smaller than before. Lots of people there, so we decided to order to go. We asked, they estimated 15 to 20 minutes wait. 20 minutes later we came back, and they still had not even started on our food (4 orders still before ours), and they estimated 10 more minutes. I'm no chef, but I'm going to guess that no food that takes under 10 minutes to cook from start to serve, including that you have 4 other orders before, is really worth eating. Plus I already waited 20 minutes, did not seem right to have to wait so long for to go food. So we canceled (the lady did not look surprised at all, seems other people were also doing it), and walked half a block to the next place (tons of options around). We had our food in a record 10 minutes, and it was fresh and delicious. Not curry, but at least I got some food and was not lied to. read more

I was planning on going to a different restaurant when I ran into Thai Isaan Kitchen with my family; you can see the kitchen from the street and the food looked too good not to go. Plus, good Thai is quite rare in Vienna. We got a few dishes to share. The Beef Larb was spicy and incredibly flavorful, the duck with yellow curry had a great crust and nice flavor, but the star was the Pad Thai. Possibly the best I've ever had. Good price range, friendly staff. I wish I lived closer. read more

Was craving my favorite hot red curry dish while on vacation. No better and more convenient place to get my fix! It's fast food type of setting, but with far better service and quality. I think my dish with a drink amounted to just under €12, which seemed very reasonable and perfectly priced. Planning on returning again! ( oh... And this restaurant is definitely NOT CLOSED). Yelp needs to correct that mistake. read more

My experience at this restaurant was twofold. The food was good enough, although I found the touch of contemporary presentation of the plates a little pretentious... The soup was a bit too salty too. The atmosphere is simple and uncomplicated for an everyday meal for the lovers of Thai food, although when we came in, they pointed a free table without explaining that we had to place the orders at the counter, and that's why we waited for too long before I walked up to the man. All in all a good experience, but the prices are just a little too high for the quality of both service and food. read more

The food is good but not great I am guessing in part to accommodate local tastes. I was hoping for something more authentic.
