Love the staff, friendly, funny and so very attentive. The food speaks for itself. It's quite quaint and comfortable. read more

Thai Smile - Thai Near Me - Folkston, Georgia

For a tiny town like Folkston, this Thai restaurant is legit! The flavors and spice levels were good (although the spice levels seemed to vary based on the dish, they didn't ask how spicy you wanted it). Many dishes are basil-heavy which I'm not used to, but that's just preference. I wish the curry dishes came with more rice, and I wish the summer roll had more tofu (and cilantro instead of basil). I also would love to see Pad Thai Curry on the menu. But overall we had a nice meal here with great service and reasonable prices, and I'd love to try more of their menu. read more

Folkston is a small town with few options that are not southern fried buffets or fast food. The lady who cuts my hair lives here and told me about this place. On my way home from a work trip, I got the opportunity to stop and try it. Near the front door, there was seating for 1 or 2, and I was certain they would put me there, but instead, they put me in a full booth. My server came right away she took my drink order and was very friendly. She actually thanked me for coming in. Her uncle is the owner. When she came back, I ordered Thai dumplings and Pana g curry. It also came with clear soup or salad with ginger dressing. I chose the salad. The salad was crisp and cold. The dumplings were out of this world, served with sauce on the side. The curry came in a large dish with rice. The spice was nice, enough heat to know it's in there but not overpowering. It always amazes me when I find great international cuisine in a small town. In case I didn't mention it, I will say it again. My server was fantastic, happy, and attentive. Do yourself s favor and try this place. read more

One of Folkston's tastiest restaurants. While we have never dined in, when we pick up to-go orders the place seems clean and the people who run it are very friendly.

My wife and I stayed at Pastimes on 8/15/24 to do a tour of the Okefenokee Swamp at 8:00 pm on 8/16/24. We ate dinner at Thai Smile for dinner on 8/15 and were so impressed that we returned for lunch after the tour on 8/16. Flavor and presentation were excellent! We highly recommend! read more

12/2/2022 we visited this restaurant for a repeat time. We have been here before and loved it.. This time we brought company w. us because I bragged about it to them.... We came in about 8:15. Granted it was late, but still no excuse for poor service and food. First of all, the Sushi that we ordered was fresh and delicious. We all loved our Entre and appetizers. I ordered the dumplings as a meal and a side of fried rice. I had to send the dumplings back because they were cold, they came back hot and they were good. The rice didnt arrive and I had to ask for it twice, I wanted it w. the dumplings. When I did get the rice, it was burned, and it had the burned taste all the way through. burnt white rice w. scrambled eggs and maybe some peas is not what I called fried rice but hey?..I returned it and asked for a no charge. A little advise for our server; he needs some experience and needs to be trained properly. We had to repeat to him a few times, wait too long for certain things. The appetizer should come first allow the people to eat, then serve the dinners. We also had cocktails. He Didnt know how to make a mai tai for our guests, when google is handy....He needs to write things down so that he doesnt forget. PRE BUS and BUS the table. We sat and visited after we ate w. our dirty plates on the table. Dont go back to the kitchen empty handed. read more

High quality food served kindly in a reasonable time. Pricing is great. It has a quiet pleasant interior to dine, or can take out.

Who knew Folkston, GA was a foodie destination? Hubby and I stayed at Newell Lodge to tour the Folkston side of the Okefenokee. That little town was close by so we decided to try having dinner at Thai Smile instead of making the 45 minute trek into Waycross. We arrive 6.30 to 7.00 and the place is really humming. Nice decor, lots of families and a thriving take out business. The menu is Asian fusion and has lots of sushi, Japanese and Thai but we just ordered Thai during our visit. We ate in and ordered summer rolls with shrimp (very good). Ginger stir fry with pork (out of this world) and Thai salad with sliced beef (very good). We had Pino Grigio wine which went great with our dishes. Everything we had was fresh, reasonably priced and very well prepared. The inside of the restaurant is very nicely decorated and when we left there was a full line of people waiting to be seated (on a Wednesday night). read more

This is a hidden gem basically in the middle of nowhere. We stopped by on our way back to St Mary's from being at the Okefenoke Swamp all day. This is seriously the most delicious Thai restaurant I've ever been to. Our server was very kind and helpful. Not long after we sat down he brought us two delicious salads (on the house). We ordered the Spring Rolls and they were also delicious. Our meals were fantastic. I mean, I'm not sure what other words to use to describe delicious food. Next time I want an adventure I'm driving here from Jax-going to the swamp and then stopping here on the way back. read more

This "Thai Smile" restaurant in Folkston is one of the worst places that i have ever eaten. I love red snapper and they have ruined it for me for life. The rice was bland with no kind of flavoring at all. They gave more thought to dressing up the plate with a half a head of cabbage and parsley than they actually did preparing the food. NEVER AGAIN!!! read more

Great food for this area. Most definitely adds something different for this small town! Highly recommend the ginger chicken.

I have been to many Thai restaurants. This is far the best. Loved the basil stir fry with chicken. Awesome flavor!!!

My daughter loves their sushi. I always get the chicken hibachi. Their food is always fresh, made to order and delicious!

This location is so cute! The decor is inviting and very comfortable- as a first impression. There were beautiful fresh flowers on every table! Our server was very friendly and attentive, too. My friend and I ordered a beer, shrimp roll, drunken noodles, and bento b box. The entrees came with a soup or salad but we were able to try both. Let me tell you- their homemade ginger dressing was delicious! I've never liked the dressing at any other Thai places- I could've drank this! My shrimp sushi was good- generous with the shrimp while I notice some places give you more tempura than shrimp. The drunken noodles were very good, too. Only complaint is I felt the veggies were a little mushy. My friend enjoyed his bento box with red curry, unfortunately he didn't really care for the sushi. He said it was a little more fishy than he's accustomed to tasting. He thought his veggies were a little soft as well. Overall it was very good, though. We would for sure come back! read more

Just like a lot of other people here have mentioned, I stopped by here for lunch right after visiting Okefenoke. The service was excellent for starters. My server was extremely friendly and even recommended a few different dishes to help me decide on what I was in the mood for. I settled for curry, and had a appetizer of thai dumplings to go with it(would definitely recommend the dumplings). The price was fair, the service was great and the food even better. What more could you ask for? I'm definitely stopping by again if I ever make my way up to Folkston. read more

Great Thai in a small town. It's a gem where there are not a lot of other options or varieties of foods. I like to call ahead and pick it up on my way to Waycross or Jacksonville. The staff is very friendly and the food delicious and authentic. read more

Well presented, tasty, creatively presented, reasonably priced... exceptional. Delicious food! We LOVE Thai food. This may be the best we've ever had in the US and we've eaten a lot of Thai food during our years in Northern Virginia! We're seasonal snowbirds just passing through town. We spotted this place and went in for a bite... This random stop was so good we'll have to travel through this little town again just to dine here. I'm impressed! Delicious! read more

Great, quick service. I had the shrimp volcano. They said that it was Spicy, but spicy to one person may not be spicy to another. It was not Spicy to me. The shrimp were fried and humongous! It came with rice and veggies, served on a lettuce leaf. I also had chicken and rice soup. That was very good. Overall, I would eat here again if back in town. read more

Had the green dragon roll and it was by far the best sushi roll I've had in ages! Reasonably price with friendly service. read more

I love Thai Smile, because it's consistently good even after several years of being open. Everything tastes fresh, and they garnish each plate. I especially love their sushi, drunken noodles, and desserts. Their fried rice is also a good choice. It's pretty rare to find a Thai restaurant in a small town. It's a gem, and I hope we have it a long time. read more

I think Thai Smile is a wonderful place. I love the owner and the homeliness of the place. The food is delicious. The owner is very friendly. The decor is welcoming and the plants out front are refreshing. They are vegetarian friendly and gluten free friendly. I enjoy getting the Thai Tea and Thai Peanut Salad. My only downfall with the place is that when I first started going a year ago it was superb service and I never had an issue. I noticed some new people were hired and there was a learning curve at first but it seemed like it would still work well. BUT the last two or three times I've dined in we have had a female waitress who is new and TOTALLY bad. She lacks communication skills, she often is chatting with friends instead of waiting the tables, and has been rude to me when inquiring about just bringing us menus! With her, specifically, the service is not good. I've started doing take out myself which is disappointing because I enjoy the environment. Food 5 stars Service needs improvement read more

Great spot for takeout, and really great food! The spicy beef salad was a highlight, but it's definitely very spicy. We stopped by on the way to the Okefenokee. read more

I love this place, it's honestly my go-to when it comes to good quality food and service.

I have had Thai from San Francisco to North Carolina and this place is the real deal. Very fresh and authentic food. I'd say this is my top three Thai restaurants and the only one on the east coast. read more

My friend wanted to eat something at the Thai restaurant so we stopped at Thai Smile restaurant. First thing I wanted was the calamari. The breading absolutely stuck to the calamari. That is impressive to me. The soup and salad came next and their Chicken and Rice soup was shockingly good. It looked like wonton but it had nugget consistency of chicken in it which I was again impressed. I order the Green Chili sauce dish with chicken, bamboo shoots and peppers with zucchini in coconut milk. Very good! Overall, for a small side restaurant in the downtown area, I was shockingly impressed. My friend and I will definitely return here and bring family too. read more
