I finally got to try the famous gumbo ramen from Thai Nola and now I completely understand the hype. I first tried it at the restaurant, then had to get it again during French Quarter Fest because I could not stop thinking about it. It is honestly one of the most creative and flavorful dishes I've had in New Orleans. The broth is rich, smoky, spicy, and packed with deep gumbo flavor. Every bite had something in it. Shrimp, sausage, chicken, vegetables, noodles, and so much seasoning without being overpowering. The ramen twist somehow works perfectly with the New Orleans style gumbo base. It feels like comfort food with a creative upgrade. What I really loved is that even at a busy festival, the quality was still amazing. The portions were generous and the food came out hot and fresh. If you see the gumbo ramen on the menu, get it. Don't even second guess it. To be honest the ambiance was cool but the flavor of their food makes you forget about anything else around you!!! read more

Good vibes with good people. Music was bumping Staff / Family of this establishment was dope and super friendly. I felt free as soon as I walked through the door. Good stop for us from Mobile,AL as we were making our way to see New Edition Concert and had heard about this place via instagram or something. Food was delicious. Crab Rangoon was superior. Gumbo ramen was enough for 2 meals. Keep up the great work and positive vibes. I'll be back. Johnson's OUT!!! read more

Thai Nola - Thai 10 piece wibgs - Thai Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Thai Nola is a whole vibe. As soon as you walk in, you're greeted right away and taken to your table, which sets the tone for a great experience. The ambience is amazing, very quiet but lively at the same time. The staff is super friendly and really attentive, which I appreciated. The portions are huge, so you're definitely getting your money's worth. I had the garlic stir-fry and shrimp in a blanket, and everything was just so good. I don't have a of the shrimp but trust me, the flavors were there, and I had enough to bring home. Also, this is a great spot for groups. You could fit about 10 people in there comfortably without it feeling tight. I truly enjoyed everything about it and will definitely be back! read more

Thai Nola - Garlic stir fry combination - Thai Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

This place is a must try if you're looking for great food with great flavor!! Parking lot, so no issue there. Quaint spot but everything you need. I got there when they first opened and they got busy fast, both dine in and take out. The people are so personable and welcoming. The owner was out greeting and mingling with everyone. I was there for one thing, the gumbo ramen. While I waited, I ordered the shrimp in blankets. They were fried to order and came out hot. Tgey were ok with the sweet and sour sauce. Then, I got my ramen. The bowl was huge and came topped with a snow crab. It was piping hot!! Full of shrimp, chicken, sausage, hot sausage, carrots, onions, etc. Spoonful of meat with everyone dip and perfectly cooked ramen noodles. It's a spicy dish too, which I love!! It's a really nice portion. I sat there for an hour and barely put a dent in the bowl. I think it's enough for two people honestly. This is a definite winner. I've recommended this place to everyone I know. Repeat customer here. Definite must try! read more

Food was amazing try the basil fried rice was spot on this is my 2nd trip there and everything I have tried has been amazing.

I was finally able to try something from Thai NOLA at French Quarter Fest. I had the gumbo ramen and it was delicious, although the noodles were scarce and the other contents of the gumbo were different from a typical gumbo. I do wonder if this dish is on the regular menu at the restaurant because I would get it again...I love Thai food and this is not quite a Thai dish but it was tasty. read more

Ordered take out for a quick bite to eat and was not disappointed. Although I ordered to go, I can tell the vibes in these place was an amazing because they had a few people waiting and it was pretty packed inside. The food, the portion size, you can literally feed a family of 4. The rice plate was STUFFED. My only complaint was I believe I ordered mild, because I can't do spice, especially Thai spice, was wayyy too spicy, where as it was almost unbearable to enjoy but nonetheless, I powered through. If you're in the area, make sure to check out this place. read more

The food was amazing!! FRESH ingredients and well seasoned. The owner was extremely helpful and recommended some dishes. 100/10

This was my first time here. Wasn't sure what to expect especially in the East. Ordered the crab rice. It comes in a platter with crab legs, snow crab and claw meat. It was ok... I am not sure if I would order it again. The sauce is a bit sweet and the crab meat was a little salty. They give you a cluster of snow crab. Went to pick up and the lady at the register was nice. You can eat inside as well. Nice place. Please note this dish is pricey. read more

Thai Nola - Crab Rice - Thai Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Amazing! The owners (including the daughter) were super welcoming. The husband greeted us upon arrival. The space is a bit tight but large enough for a standard wheelchair. I started off with the crab rangoons. I INHALED these. LOL. They were piping hot and full of creamy goodness. I am used to crab rangoons being a tad sweeter, but these were still delicious. I had the red curry with spice level 2 for my entree. I am a spice girl, but boy did this pack a punch. I'm glad I went with level 2. LOL. The dish was so rich and flavorful. I thoroughly enjoyed it and would definitely return for this. I also tried the crab fried rice. The portion is enormous and definitely enough for 2-4 people. This was a nice treat as well and packed with a lot of crab. A couple people found the rice a bit overcooked but I thought it was fine (which was odd since I'm a stickler for perfectly cooked rice that errs on the side of firm). Surprisingly, the gumbo was my least favorite. This is the only item I wouldn't get again when I return. The roux was extremely thin and it tasted a bit on the fishy side. Maybe this is the intention though! Overall, I was impressed by Thai NOLA and I definitely think it lives up to the hype! read more

Good Lawd that was good. I'm in town from California visiting Family.My Sister told me that Thai NOLA had some of the best Tai food she has had even in California. Challenge accepted. I have to say that was very good. In fact absolutely some of the best I've ever had, even in California. I started slow this visit with the Pad Thai. My thinking was that if they can't cook Pad Thai nothing else would make sense. I got the Combo Pad Thai with Shrimp Beef and Chicken. My goodness, that was good. I can't wait to try the Oxtail Special before I head back to California. When I find a good Restaurant I have a habit of going back the next day if possible. It's possible. Lol! I had a chance to meet the Owner, Gerald who is a great guy. I Love how their daughter is there working after school. Teach them young. The Restaurant is a whole Vibe with happy people and the Owner treating everyone like family from what I observed. If in New Orleans, especially New Orleans East stopping by here is a must. Even if you are Downtown it's worth the 20-30 minute trip. Y'allhollaatchaboy! . read more

The food is exceptional and the owner is always personable and going above and beyond to satisfy the customers. The restaurant is small but I've dined in twice and the service was great.

Food came hot and fast. Hit being a good thing, fast not so much. Ordered Spring rolls that comes with a sweet and sour sauce and also requested soy sauce. I received a small container of ketchup. Had the Pad Thai with double protein (chicken) which was extra, and I'm finding myself searching the noodles for the chicken. Never the less the pad Thai very is delicious. Just be careful to check your order, sucks that I had the food delivered and there were so many problems with the food that couldn't be immediately corrected. read more

As someone who loves thai food, I was very happy to hear that there was a thai restaurant in my neighborhood. Went here with my Mom and we were both thoroughly impressed! Great location in New Orleans East (Pat Swilling Complex)! The owners and staff were very nice and helpful but most importantly the food was delicious! My Mom had the Pad Thai (thin ice noodles sauteed with egg, bean spouts, green onions, in a sweet and sour tamarind sauce), this dish was very good and the serving size was huge. I had the Pad Ga Pow (Basil stir fry with carrots, green beans, and bell peppers over a bed of rice, and topped with a thai style fried egg). It was so good, will definitely be getting this again. Note Thai food is very spicy, so let them know your tolerance level. read more

Thai Nola never disappoints! I have patronized them several times and the food, customer service, and ambiance are always consistent and top tier. Just last night a friend and I dined in and we had a great experience. I tried a new dish (the stir fried ramen) that was recommended by the owner and it was as great as he said it was. My friend had the drunken noodles and she loved those as well. The Crab Rangoon and shrimp rolls as appetizers never disappoint. I also always get an order of the Thai style fried rice to go (G1). I also love that the prices are reasonable and you get very large portions so my family eats off of our leftovers through the next day lol. This place is absolutely one of my faves! Pictured are the fried rice & stir fried ramen. read more

Baby, when great taste and portion size get married, you get a satisfied family. We got the Pad Thai, Pad Woo Sen and the Fried Rice and don't have a single complaint. Everything was well seasoned, packed full of flavor and was great blend of NOLA and Thai food. The portion fed three people for dinner, three people for lunch and then my son for dinner the next day. Looking forward to having and restaurant experience. read more

Called in the order said 15 mins got there food ready to go! It literally makes no sense the amount of food they give you!! You can eat for days off of one plate. Places like this is why Nola will always be top in food. Who think to merge Thai food with Nola food the flavor was packed in everything every bite and the prices are on point! Definitely going to keep supporting this business. Stop being scared of going to the East ppl nobody is going to mess with you. read more

I am so glad to have this Thai restaurant in the east! The owners and family are so nice and appreciative of your business. I have had the chicken Pad Thai, crispy spring rolls, and crab ragoons. The pad Thai is enough for 3-4 people and I think I'm addicted to the spring rolls. I have to try some other menu items but what I've tried has not disappointed. They are located in the strip on Bullard and there is a descent amount of seating, as well as a bar. There was a small birthday taking place in the back during one of my visits. Plenty of parking as well. If you are in the area and enjoy Thai food, please give them a try! Until we meet again! read more

I'm in town for my sons graduation and he lives less than a mile away from here. What struck me were the reviews so I stopped by. I ordered Pad see ew and pad Thai. The wait was excruciating long at roughly an hour. The young lady at the register was sweet and explained that her mom was cooking alone. I definitely can sympathize with entrepreneurs juggling the demands of a small business. As a concession, I was offered a free soda. My husband was less patient but why get made a things you cannot control. Once I got back to the house and looked at the food, it looks really good and fresh. It smells aromatic! While it was not what I'm used too, it was not bad. The portions are huge, the veggies are crisp and fresh, but the flavor was lacking slightly. This combined with the wait made it not really worth it. read more
