I came here for lunch, and I am obsessed!! The staff was so fun and really really really nice. They do only have a limited lunch menu that changes daily, but honestly that works out better for me because I am the person who finds it hard to make a decision when there are 14 different entrees to pick from. Each lunch comes with an iced tea, soup, spring roll, and the entree. I chose to purchase a Thai tea separate instead since I love them and it was one of the best Thai teas that I've had in a while! I don't really know what was in the soup but it was very good. My entree had just the right amount of spice in it. If I was local, I would come here because their lunch deal is pretty solid :) read more

Order: chicken pad see ew Found this small intimate Thai place in downtown Matthews. Inside decor was very outdated. Staff really friendly. Menu super short and simple. Service super fast for a sit down Thai restaurant. Their lunch menu offers 7 entrees with your choice of protein, soup and egg roll. The soup was just rice, onion and tofu in a broth; as simple as it was it was quite tasty. The pad see ew was decent. Definitely a fast option for when you need a quick lunch and a quick thai fix. read more

Met a good friend for lunch recently and had I not been familiar with their Pineville location, I would not have thought they were related. Then I researched some more and discovered they are not related at all! From a lifeless reception and limited lunch choices, to the taste of the food that was not authentic Thai food (which I prepare weekly at home), I give this business a hard pass. Too bad, too, since it's a neat venue with parking within an leisurely stroll. Has my "Give 'em a Whirl" meter asking for more. Want great Thai? Keep looking and try Thai House, Rice and Spice, or Basil Thai Cuisine. read more

Nice. Ambiance! I would say anyone who has no idea what to choose in afternoon while ordering as they ask lunch set or dinner set then go for Dinner set if you're in a group. But I prefer to go in evening better because of food. As servers are way more polite, quick and interestingly informative. Dinner chef food is much much tastier then afternoon chef. Love the fact that their dinner Thai food is much flavored and extremely delicious than other places in Charlotte. Big applause for Dinner Chef. Thank you for cooking delicious food. Best dinner in Charlotte. read more

It was 7:30 pm so we were happy they had not closed yet as they are open until 9 pm on weekends. It's clean and a good size place. Very cozy although our table top itself was chipped. They were great at seating us but very pushy on us ordering quickly. Since it was our first time we didn't know the menu so we needed more time. I ordered the Peanut, Coconut & Chicken Entree. It was very good and nice size portion. My wife ordered Vegetables & Beef Entree and the Vegetable Rice Rollup. She loved it as both dishes came out hot which is the best. Her's was a little skimpy compared to mine but equally priced. This restaurant has a 4.4 Star Rating and I would give the place a 4.5 except when they took our order they were just too pushy and I don't like that feeling when I'm away from home. Consequently I'm giving this restaurant a 3.5 Rating but will be back & give them another chance. read more

I went in for the lunch special and I don't know if the price seemed like a lunch special. I ordered the pad thai and it really had a strong vinegar taste to it. I love pad thai and have loved it for years. I felt I couldn't finish my meal and when I pointed out the strong taste the waitress said it has a vinegar base. Maybe the base is vinegar but it felt like I was eating pickled noodles. I've had some great pad thai and this place used to be a hit. The food is definitely a miss right now read more

This was my second visit to this restaurant. I chose it because of its convenient location near the library, and I originally thought it would become a regular spot for me. Unfortunately, this experience has completely changed my mind. After finishing my meal and paying, I stayed for about 30 minutes to work on my laptop since it was raining outside. During that time, a waitress approached me and asked me to give up my seat. Unsure of what she meant, I asked another staff member for clarification. That person told me I "might need to give up my seat," but then immediately backtracked and said, "You can sit here for a little while." This left me feeling uncomfortable and unwelcome. What made the situation more frustrating was that there were still multiple empty tables nearby, and an entire section of the restaurant was closed off. I have never experienced a restaurant asking a paying customer to leave so soon after finishing a meal. It gave me the impression that, because I was dining alone, my presence was considered less valuable. I found this treatment unprofessional and disappointing, and as a result, I will not be returning. read more

Great fresh food, love the Thai basil. Called ahead and food was ready on time and nice and warm. Will order again.

We stopped into Thai Taste in Matthews for lunch as we were exploring the Matthews area. We were greeted and seated quickly. The staff were super friendly and quick to get us drinks and take our orders. We were very surpised at how fast the food was served! It was all super fresh, hot and tasty. My wife isn't into spicy food so went for the pad thai which she says is some of the best she's ever had. I wanted something more spicy and went with the Pad Gra Tiam which was excellent! Each day of the week they have 7 daily lunch specials that include soup, drink and spring roll. Great place for your lunch thai fix! read more

We finally got take out from Thai Taste in Matthews! My husband and I always visited the Dilworth location so it's awesome to have the chain nearby! I called in our order of summer rolls, pad tai, and tom kha soup. Twenty minutes later I picked it up. Everything was ready and the restaurant was following covid protocols. When we got home we devoured the food so I only got a picture of the summer rolls! We will be ordering more takeout in the future. read more

We got the red curry, Thai tea and mango sticky rice. Tastes great! Two cons were that the red curry had peas, that's not very authentic, so I will order without next time. Secondly, the Thai tea was quite bitter, I think they let the tea steep a little long. We got takeout, but the restaurant is nicely decorated with Thai decor and the staff is kind. read more

Ordered beef drunken noodles 2/5 spice and it was spicier than my wife's 4/5. Ruined my meal. It was insanely intolerable. On top of the fact that they put carrot slices in it lol. That is not Thai nor was in the description. Also puts egg in drunken noodles, also wrong. I don't mind carrots but just blatantly wrong. Ordered the shrimp appetizer which is supposed to come with a sweet and spicy sauce and it was this just sweet like mango. Also said topped with peanuts and had none. Didn't give plasticware in the to go bag. Had to walk across the street to the hotel for plasticware. And on top of it all described the drunken noodles as wide rice noodles and they weren't even close to wide. Noodles for drunken noodles are supposed to be wider and thicker than normal, as least an inch wide and have that chewy texture. One of the worst Thai orders ever. Glad I paid $79.25 for 2 entrees and an app lol. Comical how bad I got scammed. Won't come back. read more

I have high hopes for this local Thai restaurant. The soup and chicken dishes were average but the Pad Thai was not. They can do better with the taste and ingredients. It was too much on the sour side and the chicken was scarce. The service was good overall. read more

Thai curry was sweet not spicy, with lots of onions, Pad Thai was very dry also no peanut

It's been awhile since I've given one star on Asian food . Thai taste was a FAIL completely. Having your heart set on some delicious Thai noodle dishes and getting what we received is so detrimental to my tastebuds. I don't know how to explain the mound of overcooked noodles with absolutely no sauce or seasonings . Just a huge lump of pad Thai noodles for you to waste calories on. The pictures verify my review completely. This was not worth $40 , let me repeat that ... Cold, overcooked, unseasoned noodles called Pad Thai is not worth $40, I don't care if you managed to give use an entire box of flavorless rice noodles. They were both tossed in the trash . I just didn't have the energy or time to drive all the way back and explain how this was insulting. read more

One of our favorites! My husband raves about the shrimp they serve. Their Pad Thai is great!

I think we found our go to Thai restaurant! We are fairly new to Matthews and wanted to check out downtown Matthews for lunch. So glad we did. They are doing a great job of social distancing for starters. The server is very friendly and on point. By the time we got our food it was a full dining room so she was swift and made sure every customer had what they needed. The lunch menu is perfect and the food portions are perfect for the price. We will be back for sure! read more

My folks missed enjoying Thai food from our favorite place in San Diego and I suggested we research top-rated local places by them to try. The other Thai Taste location was mentioned in a Charlotte magazine as a favorite of a Carolina Panthers' linebacker and we decided to try the one closer to my folks. It is located next to Royal Cafe and Creperie. We called in for takeout and it was ready in 15-20 minutes. Parking could be a challenge due to the number of businesses in the area, but we got lucky to find a spot before the dinner crush. When we placed the order over the phone, the gal was very helpful and friendly. She let us know that the egg rolls came 4 per order and double checked that we wanted 2 orders, which would mean 8 rolls. (We did want both orders, as all 3 of us were going to share them.) The Panang curry can be seasoned with regular spice or you may request extra spice from 1-5, 5 being the hottest. At the restaurant, a different woman handed us our food and thanked us for supporting them in these times. The food was still pretty hot when we got home and did not get soggy, which was great. I ordered a spice level of 3 on my panang curry and it was perfect. Egg rolls were crunchy and were packed with the veggies - no shortage there. I'd order from them again. Service was pleasant and quick. Food was delicious. read more

First off they got the order wrong. I ordered 4 pad Thai 1 spicy 3 not. I got 3 spicy 1 not so basically wasted 2 pad Thai's Secondly I don't know how you can make pad Thai dry but it was done Barely any chicken Barely any egg No peanuts No lime I found one piece of scallion. Maybe it's an off day but I won't be back - BASIL is far far far better read more

Came here on a Tuesday night. The place was pretty busy and, considering the peak of Covid, not distanced socially. I got their Shrimp pad Thai, and it wasn't impressive. It was VERY dry, not flavorful, and mainly just noodles. The price was standard for Thai, but considering it's nice location, would've expected better. read more

We were first time guests and excited to try something new. From the service to the food and environment we were extremely disappointed! They gave us a high chair covered in old food and dirt we asked for it to be cleaned and they used a dirty rag and it was still nasty ! Now our waiter was a older lady rude as can be and came to our table 2 times I had to go get her for the check and she seemed like she couldn't be bothered! They food was tasteless and rubbery like it was old and reheated! Save yourself the disappointment and go somewhere else! read more

Cute little restaurant tucked in the corner of Matthews Station. You might miss it if you're not looking for it. The first thing I noticed upon entering was how lit the dining areas are from natural light. A great place to eat if you are suffering from s.a.d. I love lettuce wrap apps. so I decided to give theirs a try. The chicken was a bit on the dry side and too small a portion to share. The dipping sauce was unique and sweet. For my entree, I went for the Pad See Ewe. A wide, sweet and spicy beef dish with spinach and carrots. I asked for a 4 out of 5 spiciness and I ended up having to add crushed red pepper flakes to feel any heat at all. The service was on point but the food was nothing special and a bit overpriced for what I got. Like the stars above say, "A-OK". read more

I ordered take out from Thai Taste this evening. I was disappointed in every dish I received. The sauces with the fresh roll were inedible - way too salty. The pad Thai and the beef salad tasted and looked like they were made yesterday, packed away, and then thrown into our take out bag. The flavor on the pad Thai is all wrong. Beef salad is cold. I wouldn't normally write a review because I believe restaurants can have bad nights, however after learning this meal cost us $40 - I felt I had no choice. So disappointing and I will not be returning. read more

Left me feeling underwhelmed. I'm disappointed to say that my latest visit to Thai Taste left me feeling this way. It started with a craving for summer rolls; I needed something fresh and light and dare I say it, not fried. With limited options in Matthews I went with a local standby. Now I have been here on many occasions, but provably not within the last year. I was kind of shocked to see its looking pretty run down inside. Its sort of a complicated menu and sometimes its hard to know what to expect in the dish. I felt a little rushed and ended up ordering red curry which I've had other places. I would have liked to get a to go menu but they didn't have any. That pretty much ensures I won't order take out again. So, on to the food.... my summer rolls were completely vegetarian. And I suppose thats my fault bc I didn't fully read the description, I just assumed I knew what I was getting. I've never had summer rolls that didn't at least have pork in them. So they were rolled up shredded lettuce and basil leaves. Blah. My red curry was just OK. It left me wishing I had just gone to New Zealand for my regular tuna poke. I don't know, I might not bother going back. I like CO and Ray Lai way better. And while they're out of the way it might be worth it next time to make the drive. read more

We periodically visit this restaurant to dine in sometimes ordering take out. The food while dining in is consistent. When ordering takeout we seem to have challenges getting through via telephone most likely because they are a popular take out option in Matthews. The last take out order I placed for Pad Tai was disappointing with a few ingredients seeming to be missing I.e. egg, sprouts, carrots. I would recommend this more as a dine in option to truly enjoy their entrees. read more
