    Satay chicken
    Natalie P.

    On the outside, it doesn't look like much and then you step inside and everything is very well decorated and very clean. The staff is polite and they don't unnecessarily bother you while you're eating. The food is some of the best Thai food I have ever had and I will definitely be coming back. I wasn't a fan of the pink Boba drink, but my daughter loved it. I think it's just because it reminded me of a bubblegum flavor which is not my favorite, but everything else was amazing.

    Loved that each item was labeled!

    I ordered takeout, and was very easy, food was ready exactly when quoted, staff friendly and everything was well packed and still perfectly hot once home. The crab Rangoon was so good! And I loved my massaman curry!

    I had been hearing great things about Thai Recipes, so I had to try it myself. Now I want to keep going back to try everything! I orders the Drunken Noodles and it was delicious! It is located in a little strip mall with a small parking lot near the corner of Thompson and 31. This is an area that always seems to be busy and construction going on. However it is located right next to the interstate which makes it easy to get to. The menu was extensive with several vegetarian options to choose from as well. There was nothing too distinct inside, but there were plenty of tables considering that it looks small from the outside. I am definitely coming back!

    Establishment is located in a strip mall. It was very clean and friendly service. The food came out fairly quickly and was delicious. We love Thai food and visit many Thai restaurants. We would definitely come back to have the pineapple red curry with shrimp. They cooked everything with the appropriate spice level we ordered. I like medium spice and my husband likes hot. It was overly hot and I was able to enjoy every bite.

    Oh, I wish I had taken a picture of my drunken noodles before I dug in. You'll just have to trust me when I say the presentation was lovely. And the flavor! Wowza. Soooo good. The vegetarian spring rolls were perfect. And let me tell you: Tom Yum soup is one of my favorite dishes and I don't hesitate to say that this is the best Tom Yum in Indy. This place is a hidden gem: well priced, amazing service, unassuming and absolutely delicious.

    Hot green tea

    So my daughters had dinner here a few days before and all of us had been craving Pad Thai for days, so when I found an extra minute I decided to give this place a try as well. Thai Recipes is in a small strip mall, behind a Taco Bell. Once you walk inside, however, you forget that fact. It is very clean, quiet, decorated tastefully. It isn't too big, just a few tables scattered about. The server was very attentive and was always in view...either right behind the counter (which can be seen from anywhere in the restaurant) or addressing the needs of other customers. I started my meal off with a glass of ice water and a hot green tea and it was HAWT! It came with an entire little self serving pitcher which was great, I didn't have to keep asking for refills. I am a sucker for vegetable tempura so that immediately caught my attention. When it got to my table it wasn't what I expected, but that might be my fault. I have only ordered veggie tempura from Japanese restaurants in the past, so I was expecting a light tempura textured batter. This was NOT that. Once again, not saying good or bad, just not what I expected. It was really really crunchy. Almost the texture of a fish stick batter that had hit the fry daddy twice. It was REALLY crunchy. The sweet sauce it came with was yummy. Once again, I was craving Pad Thai...it was my entire agenda. There was no Pad Thai on the menu. There were lots and lots of what I assume were yummy things--but not the thing I came there to eat. Now my daughters said they ordered Pad Thai, so maybe they OFFER it but just don't put it on the menu? Idk. But I didn't feel comfortable ordering it since it wasn't listed. My compromise was Chicken Kao Pad- medium spicy. I'm not a spice girly. And it's all subjective. But I was afraid the mild would be bland with little flavor so I took the risk. It WAS spicy, to my naive taste buds. Definitely had a little kick. Buuuut, it didn't get hotter with each subsequent bite, just stayed the same level...so I was okay with that. The vegetable garnishes were beautiful and I appreciated all the effort invested in the ambiance. The Chicken Kao Pad was fine...but it wasn't Pad Thai. So I left disappointed...not because the food wasn't fine, or the service wasn't excellent...but because Pad Thai wasn't on the menu. I ate about 1/3 and brought the leftovers home for my husband to eat later. If it had been Pad Thai? It wouldn't have made it off the table. If I had walked in the door without any expectations I would have probably had a much better review. So, like I said, I take responsibility for the fact that I was jaded and most of my *few* complaints are tainted by my disappointment. My daughters seemed to love their Pad Thai, so maybe I should have had the courage to walk into a place I had never been before and ask for something not listed on the menu...maybe I will do that next time... But I wouldn't order the crazy crunchy veggie tempura again, and I would def call ahead to see if the can make Pad Thai even though it's not on the menu. $30-ish with tip seemed like a lot to pay and still walk out disappointed.

    This place is probably the best Thai food on the Southside of Indy. Spiced perfectly, full of wondorus Thai flavors : sweet, spicy, and acidic! I loved the fried basil rice - and it can be made both vegetarian and vegan friendly! I had the Thai tea and it had the perfect amount of sweet and leafy tea combo Flav! Service was excellent.

I ordered spring rolls and drunken noodles with tofu. The spring rolls were light and crispy. I would recommend ordering a few. Or more than a few. My drunken noodles were excellent. I ordered mild-to medium spice, and the spice level was perfect. The serving size was generous. Will have leftovers for dinner, yay! Service was very pleasant. Ordering was efficient. I called in my order and received a text when my order was ready. I'll definitely return, and would enjoy dining in next time. Thanks to Yelpers for the great reviews that brought me here.

They have a great lunch special that's reasonably priced, and my mom is more on the picky side, if she likes something she sticks with it. The ambiance here is relaxed, it's a small house turned into a restaurant. Service was good at this visit. My mom ordered her usual pork belly ramen with no spice (she is spice naive) and I tried something new here...drunken noodles with steak at level 3 heat (it goes 1-5 with 5 being the hottest). The lunch special comes with soup and a spring roll. This time I made sure to check my soup, and thankfully it was all clear and tasted good. The soup is too spicy for my mom so she doesn't eat it. The spring roll with dipping sauce was appetizing. Our food came quickly after, and everything came out fresh. My mom didn't have any issues with her ramen. For a lunch special, the drunken noodles is a decent portion. The temperature was hot and the spice level was pretty spicy, but I liked it. The steak option went really well with the drunken noodles too, very flavorful. I wasn't able to finish it, asked for a to go container, and our server supplied. We both enjoyed hanging out and got very full.

We had the jalapeño bomb as appetizer and it was amazing, seriously a perfect bite. I like the Pad Kee Moa at most places so I went for it. I wasn't sure how spicy to get it so I went medium, their medium is a mild at most places. It was still delicious and a huge serving. My husband has the cashew nut , he went with Hot and chicken. We definitely know we want spicier next time. This really is a beautiful spot with a parking lot of its own, and I hope to see it full next time we pop in.
