I'm trying to figure out why it has taken me so long to try this restaurant? The place I was going to prior has either gone under new management or just decided to make changes which have unfortunately affected their level of service and quality of food. But onto this great place. I decided to play it safe and try out their lunch specials. Being indecisive, I opted for the Thai fried rice and the drunken noodles. They have several protein options along with a vegetable option, and they have a scale of 1 to 5 for heat level. What I like about their lunch special is you have an option for soup with two dumplings or spring rolls. If you decide to leave the soup out, you can get four spring rolls or four dumplings instead of the two. The portion size along with the extras was perfect. I was able to enjoy one today and I'm saving the other for tomorrow. I enjoyed all of the flavors that stand out in Thai food: ginger, chilies, garlic, and basil. They have ample parking, I don't think they serve liquor, but I did see wine. It's not a large restaurant, but they have several tables. They offer a nice ambience and it's read more

Ordered lunch take out yesterday.. Went to pick up no internet so they didn't have the order completed. I pulled up the order on my phone and she wrote it down.. After I received my order and opened at home . My tofu and veggie curry with fried rice and veggie dumplings had no tofu, no fried rice and meat in the dumplings. I am so done with this place.. Not my first time here with issues with the food and or order. read more

Typically a 5 star rating but I need to bring attention to the illegal false pricing on their take out menu. I ordered tofu pad Thai ($15), fresh roll ($9) and Thai iced tea ($4) which should've totaled $28. So, needless to say I was shocked to be charged 32.50. I will say that it took 6 minutes to prepare, 9 minutes shy of their initial timing. Not sure yet if this mattered... read more

Picked this place as I have been before and had a great experience. Not sure if it has changed hands, or server was having an off night...but went with 3 girlfriends on a weekday last week. We had a reservation, and we hadn't seen each other in over 2 years so we were excited to catch up. When I arrived I walked in and mentioned the reservation and she pointed to a table instead of walking me to it. After we were seated the service got worse. She was short, impolite and sometimes rude. It felt we were inconveniencing her by being there. Two of my friends said their food was overly salty. She came when we were done with meals and said "ready to pay?" And we asked about a dessert menu. She said "we have 2 desserts, fried banana and mango sticky rice" and said it in a way she hoped we wouldn't order it. One of my friends ordered the banana. While the dessert was still on the table and barely touched, she brought the bill, and we weren't yet ready to leave so we were chatting. A few minutes later she brought the scanning device to pay so we thought, ok we better pay. We did, and tipped well in spite of everything. As we were wrapping up our conversation she came back to our table at 8:45 and said "just so you know we close in 15 minutes". Incredibly rude. If you close at 9, technically someone could have come in 30 mins prior and sat down. The restaurant wasn't busy and we had been there 2 hours. I was shocked how rudely we were treated. No plans to return. read more

Have been to Thai Stories a number of times. Service is always quick and friendly. Food comes out quickly and hot. Delicious choices, always something to please everyone in our group. The restaurant is comfortable and cheerful. It's an easy choice for us for convenient, good food. read more

Thai Stories never disappoints. Delicious food. A lovely place to dine in and take out is always quick and easy. A jewel of Woodbridge!!

Ordered takeout. Was disappointed with the amount of protein in the dishes. When you order something with beef, it would be nice to get more than 6 little pieces that couldn't have been more than 3 ounces in the whole dish. Pad Thai was bland AF. Sirinans in Wallingford... the best of the best. I guess I've been spoiled and nothing else comes close! If I could give 2.5 stars I would! read more

I ordered the orange chicken with sticky rice. They gave me a quarter filled, cellophane wrapped, old rice. Not to mention, the portion of the chicken could have been from a kids meal. When I called about what went wrong and a possible refund, they simply hung up on me. read more

Thai Stories Restaurant - Thai Near Me - Woodbridge, Connecticut

Best thai in the area!! Thai stories never disappoints and the service is great too :)

The service was non existent but when we told them we had one hour the service turned right around. The food was good - the dumplings were tasty, the pad thai yummy and the lemongrass chicken with drunken noodles was mixed. The noodles were spicy and good the chicken was meh. The problem came after we left - my husband got the msg reaction he hasn't had in a long time. Regretfully we won't be back. If you are sensitive to msg beware. read more

Very good Thai food! Exceeded my expectations since I wasn't sure we'd be able to find good Thai in the area. The drunken noodles, panang curry, and ginger chicken were delicious. The drunken noodles were my fav and the ginger chicken was my husbands fav. Restaurant felt clean and the staff was very friendly. We'll definitely be back. read more

Thai Stories Restaurant - Drunken Noodles & Panang Curry. Delicious. - Thai Near Me - Woodbridge, Connecticut

Stopped in Thai Stories for an early dinner after a Southern CT football game. Noticed right away how clean and nicely decorated it was. The staff was attentive but not overly so, which is good. Nothing worse than someone standing by your table or interrupting every other minute. There were 6 of us we ordered one appetizer which came out relatively quick, and the entrees after app plates were removed. Everyone loved their entrees. I had the Delight of Two and it was very good. Would return again when/if I'm in the area. read more

Great food and service. Kira is a great waitress. Highly recommend the wide noodles read more

Enroute to Cambridge, MA, Exit 59 off the Merritt Parkway is our mid-point for travel. We've been stopping off this exit for years, but hadn't discovered Thai Stories until our recent travel this past week. The food was very good. They offer a lunch menu, which consists of a main along with choice of soup (Tom yum or Coconut) and appetizer (spring roll, dumplings or salad). The lunch specials are priced between $10-14. A bit on the higher side for a lunch special. The chicken entrees were priced in the same range. Since, I wasn't in the mood for apps and soup, I went for an entree portion. And we also ordered two lunch specials. The entree portion contains about twice as much food as the lunch special. I loved the interior. I'm huge into photography and absolutely loved all the real life photographs adorning the walls of elephants, children,monks and other visuals that transport you to Thailand. From the old exterior of this strip mall, you would never know what lies behind the front door. Looking forward to my next Cambridge trip and lunch at Thai Stories. read more

Every time totally wonderful and fresh. Best Thai in New Haven. Service great. Food fantastic. Highly recommend. Cute little spot but not in down town. So mostly residents and not a Yale student hang out. read more

I went today and ordered a noodle soup w chicken and shrimp, chicken broth and cilantro.... When it arrived it had beef and meatballs in it. I showed the waitstaff the menu Item I ordered and they had no response, they clearly told the kitchen to make the wrong soup they had no solutions. Wouldn't take It back The soups aren't cheap and it sucks to have to eat the one you would of never ordered. I fished out the beef and Meatballs and are the broth and noodles Not going beck read more

Definitely a swing and a miss. I really wanted to like this place because it's close to home and so many people said good things about it. I honestly can't give this place a good review in any category. My problems started when I tried to make a reservation. Their online reservation system only accepts reservations for 5-10 people so I had to call. It took nearly 10 minutes, first because I was asked to hold while she tended to a customer. Every time she returned to me, and I started to speak, she then told me just a minute and continued with the customer who was in front of her. When she finally focused on me, there was a huge language barrier. I repeatedly told her the date and time and number of guests but she kept asking me again and again. I finally got through to her and asked her to repeat it because, by that point, I just didn't trust that she had gotten it right. Thankfully she did, since it was my friend's birthday and I was taking her to lunch to celebrate. When we arrived, the place was full, which I took to be a good sign. We got the last table and looked at the menu. Lots of good choices, for the most part, but limited vegetarian options. The lunch special was out because the soups both contained meat and/or fish. We decided to split a papaya salad and order 2 entrees. This was also not feasible. While not listed on the menu, we were informed that the salad contained fish sauce. I am not a Thai cook, so I can't explain why papaya salad needs fish sauce, but I can tell you that we couldn't get it without it. We decided to skip straight to the entree. My meal was solidly disappointing. I should have known better when I ordered and she smiled and said "healthy." I ordered the param special and received a dish with some steamed vegetables, and 4 triangles of uncooked, room temperature, tofu, with peanut sauce and white rice on the side. I had to ask for a second dish to plate the rice and vegetables on. Come to think of it, we had to ask for everything. My friend was horrified and asked if that was what I was expecting. I asked if the tofu could be stir fried or anything could be done with it and I was told "that's the style." I buried it in the other stuff but it was definitely not enjoyable. I decided that I would figure out what to do with it when I got home. We both asked for extra peanut sauce. We got 1 ramekin in the middle of the table and had to ask for another. That's when the server's smile started to fade. When it came time to wrap our leftovers, I asked for plastic containers. She had brought them to the next table (along with cardboard and a small metal container with a plastic lid). We got 2 cardboard containers. I had deliberately asked for plastic because I didn't want to deal with a leaking mess and I had a lot to pack into it. She took away the cardboard and came back with 2 metal containers. That worked for my friend, but it was too small for my meal. I asked, for the third time, for a plastic container. I finally got it. Good thing too because after putting the rice in the bottom, it was a tight fit for the rest. I should tell you that I almost never complain about a place but this place really worked hard to get me to right a negative review. I also tend to overtip. I always start with 20% and work upward for excellent service. Today's tip was closer to 10%. Dining out should not be this much work. Next time I will stick with the places that I know are good. read more

We had the Thai sampler, pad Thai, and rice noodle soup. I would rate these (out of 5) , 3.8, 3.4, and 4 (per my daughter) , respectively. I would give them around a 3.5. The food was good, but I've had somewhat better. The waitstaff were ok, not bad. It may have been bc we were there at the end of the night and people were tired. All in all, if you're in the area, or it's convenient for you to go here, you will like it. I wouldn't necessarily go out of my way though. read more

Thai Stories Restaurant - So good! - Thai Near Me - Woodbridge, Connecticut

Tucked away in the corner of a strip mall in Woodbridge, Thai Stories doesn't look like much from the outside, but it has very good Thai food. For those who want to dine in, the ambience is warm and comfortable. Their appetizer sample is delicious and an excellent value at $12 with various rolls and chicken satay and several dipping sauces. Their Tom Yum soup is first rate, the best I've hearin the New Haven area. The drunken noodles with ground chicken are also the best I've had in a long time. I do not recommend the drunken noodles specialty, topped with a very dry chicken breast, but everything else we've ordered, from eggplant to hot basil with beef, has been very good indeed. They have recently added some soups to their menu, including Pho and a duck noodle soup that sounds delicious. I am looking forward to trying both. I have eaten at several Thai restaurants in the New Haven area, and this is most definitely up there with the best of them. update: I tried the duck soup, which was good but not great. The broth was a bit sweet for me there were many generous perfectly cooked pieces of very good duc read more

I stumbled onto the place needing a quick bite in an area I didn't know much about. It was a welcome find! It's a warm and inviting space with cute tables and nice atmosphere. And I enjoyed the Thai food. First up was a new dish for me: veggie pancake (kui chai). It was deep fried awesomeness. I was only going to have a few bites but bite after bite was far more delicious (and probably a bit unhealthy) than I could resist. Yum. I then had the drunken lemongrass chicken specialty dish. Wasn't quite sure what was so different, but this was a very good drunken noodle dish with chicken on the side. The noodles weren't too sweet and served hot! The chicken was a little too cooked for my taste but pretty good overall. Service was friendly and efficient with water glasses filled without inquiry (a big plus in my book). Overall, it's a nice find and i enjoyed it. Look forward to returning next time I'm in the area. read more

I have been here a few times and have always loved the food. Pad Thai is perfect and they have made special made items for my grandchild which is helpful. The crab ragoons own's are all made with real crab meat inside. And the rice balls and foe soup is out of this world.. They are always very busy however the restaurant is small therefore, not holding too many people. If you can wait and enjoy the food! read more

So I have to say this place was a staple for my family and I! It's on the way home from work and it was very good. A lot has changed since the pandemic a few years ago. We tried a few times since and during. The most recent was about a week ago! The quality of the food has declined and the prices are through the roof. Sadly I will say that we are done and moving on. We spent 134 dollars on the last meal (family of 4) crazy high prices. We had 2 orders of the chicken satay and the chicken was dry dry dry! My wife had the drunken chicken, it was watery and lacked flavor. Not terrible but again not what it used to be. I got the pho, it was almost 20 dollars and they had the audacity to give me a small pint. That was ridiculous and it had a horrible flavor. If you eat pho , you get it. Daughter had fried rice with no vegetables. She said it was not the same flavors. We were very disappointed and unfortunately that was the last chance. It's just lacking the old Thai stories quality. Again for those prices , mind you picking up, not Uber or door dash, and it's ridiculous the amount of money they charge. There's a lot of competition out there to have that high of prices and not back it up with a stellar product! read more

First time getting food from Thai Stories - picked up my order. Ordered the following Spring rolls - v good Vegetable dumplings- v good Thai fried rice - great Drunken noodles - amazing Pad Thai - very disappointing Came with curry rice - amazing The vegetables in every dish were crunchy which means fresh!! I Always want that in any dish. The drunken noodles were incredible along with the Thai fried rice. I was shocked and disappointed at the pad Thai - even smelled strange. I be been to probably 20 Thai restaurants in my life - all have made good to great pad Thai except this one. Really hoping it was a one off occurrence because the kids love pad Thai. I hope they can get it right. There was a sign on the door - they raised prices on October 7th - this is actually a good thing. I don't want the business compromising the quality of ingredients or hiring sub par workers or have them cut corners. Businesses had a real tough time during Covid and the fact that inflation is everywhere is yet another blow, so I'm willing to pay for quality. If they can fix the pad Thai I would give them 5 stars. read more

Excellent this food... reasonably priced... great place to sit for a quick bit or even take out.... Definitely recommended

Always great food, very consistent and quick service. Can't go wrong with most things on the menu. Some of our favorites are the delight of two, pad woosen and drunken noodles. Also don't forget the Thai tea read more

We stopped here on the way up to Maine from NYC. We were a little skeptical of non-NYC Thai food like the snobs we are, but oh. My. God. This place!! I wish we had this in NYC!! The Thai by us is garbage by comparison. Super fresh vegetables, fast service. Delicious. read more

One of my favorite places to go for a delicious meal on a weeknight! The good is delicious, the decor is calming, and the servers are always courteous. Every dish I've tried on the menu has been wonderful. Even the house wines are enjoyable. These people take immense pride in this restaurant, their food, and their establishment and it shows. Had to show my love on Yelp because they deserve it! read more

Tucked-in a little corner of the plaza, easy to miss your eye but once you go in - the decor and the staff are very inviting. The scrumptious food ( we tried the Thai wings, Tom yum soup and the wanton noodle soup ) is clearly an added bonus. Very good touch with the orange slices at the very end. All in all , my new favorite in town. read more

Thai Stories Restaurant - Spicy Tom Yum Noodle Soup - Thai Near Me - Woodbridge, Connecticut

My first time ordering food from this place. Their lunch deal is a great deal. You get to choose from soup, an appetizer, and a main dish. I went with Tom Yum, Dumplings, and Pad Thai noodles. I am not a big fan of mushrooms so I could only choose that or coconut. I am not a fan of coconut either but I choose the Tom Yum it was spicy which is nice and the shrimps were massive, and delicious. The dumplings were perfect they give you two one shrimp, and one chicken both were great! The main dish was very good. I am not used to eating so much noodles but they packed in the chicken and had some decent shrimp inside, again massive! Overall if I would say this would be a great place to order lunch and to have a nice dinner. read more

Love, love, love Thai Stories! Awesome food and great service! A must go to. Everything is fresh and delicious!

Best Thai around! Served hot. Flavorful. Delicious appetizers and dinners. Highly recommend.

I took my daughter out to dinner here tonight as a special treat. We were excited to try a new restaurant. We couldn't believe when we walked in that we were seated right away there was only one other family in the restaurant. We ordered vegetable tempura to start and it came with a delicious spicy chili sauce. I like that very much. My daughter ordered a pad Thai for her dinner. She liked it very much and was able to bring half of it home for her lunch for tomorrow. I had a spicy beef salad for dinner and it was absolutely delicious I loved it and ate the whole dish. we both agreed that we would probably come here again and try some different items on the menu. read more

This place is lovely! Love the atmosphere with soft lighting, jazz music, beautiful framed photography on the wall.and friendly staff. And my dish (I only ate one) was Beef Pan Fried and it killed. It was perfect. Steaming hot off the grill, tender beef with a little pink, and fresh vegetables in a light flavorful sauce. YUM. read more

The are consistently good after years of going we have never had a less than excellent meal. read more

Food here is really lovely. I get take out lunch specials on occasion, and I find them wonderfully made and in generous portions. I've not finished a lunch in one sitting yet! Looks like they have a great happy hour deal too - 99 cent glass of house wine with any appetizer order. Will have to try that! Tom yum soup was a little salty today but I posted 5 stars because it was still very tasty with two big shrimp in the bowl. Thanks Thai Stories. read more
