This reviewers based from a cumulative experiences rather than just a single experience. In this case, that's a good thing! Thai Taste has been open for years & their food has remained consistant throughout time. I cannot remember a bad experience there or taking it home. Occasionally, communication can be misqued if the wait person is new. Sometimes, the appetizer isbtoo close to the entree, other times, the waitperson disappearsbtoo long.. The unfortunate think is that this economy has forced me to reduce my dine out/take out efforts. But when i break budget, thisbplace is at top of the list!¹ read more

A mark of a perennial favorite is a combination of graceful culinary art, prompt attendance, elegant yet quaint atmosphere, and satisfaction in every corner of the dining room. Typically, I find myself splitting chicken pad Thai and hot basil fried rice with my mother, but today was one of my eclectic dining sessions. No visit is complete without a Siam roll app. Crispy and flaky on their own, the experience is complete only when paired with a small cup of tangy goodness. Similar things can be said about the golden barbecue chicken I ordered. The poultry itself is defined by a combination of crisp texture, thoroughly-cooked interior, and smoky delight. Once the sweet-and-sour sauce is applied, though, that is where the dish finds its niche. Lather it on the bird and the veggies, then prepare for paradise as the sweet sensation works its way to win your affections. The staff always do a superb job of setting guests up for a worthwhile experience. There's never a day when our day is rife with miscommunication and ignorance, just a seamless valley of goodwill and tenderness. Tellingly, I have seen this restaurant stand in the same location since the early-mid 2000s, so I'm likely not alone in giving this diner a chef's pedigree. read more

First off this place is so overpriced and the quality isn't there. Nearly $20 for a small portion of pad Thai. I get gluten free chicken pad Thai with no chicken. (I find the chicken tastes gross, rubbery and old) I like extra eggs in mine but refuse to cough up the extra $2 for one egg, so I cook a few of my own farm fresh eggs to mix in. I got take out today and I'm really disappointed. It's so dry, lacking flavor, mushy and it tastes old and leftover. I bit into something very crunchy & off putting. I keep finding hard chunks of black stuff everywhere. I have a gluten allergy and they should be cleaning their pans before cooking my dish. I'm pretty sure I was eating grill scrapings. Disgusting. I only got this place because I'm sick and starving. But I think i would rather starve than eat a small portion of dry coagulated leftover pad Thai with mystery inedible black bits FOR $20!!!! More people need to speak up about their ridiculous prices, low quality and their lack of cleanliness. If their food was good I wouldn't complain about the price. But they are clearly price gouging. I will never return. read more

Thai Taste - Thai Near Me - Swansea, Massachusetts

Thai Taste is a local Thai restaurant. There is a huge parking lot, so you do not have to worry about finding parking. The restaurant is quite spacious and there are plenty of tables. We started with Shrimp in the Blanket - Crispy large shrimp stuffed with pork, crab meat, mushrooms, glass noodles and carrots in wonton skin, served with plum sauce. This was a yummy start. For entrees, we had the Pineapple Fried Rice - Stir fried shrimp, chicken and crabmeat with raisins, green peas, pineapple chunks, tomatoes and a touch of curry powder and Mango Fried Rice -Shrimp and chicken stir fried with mangoes, egg, onions, scallions and tomatoes with a touch of curry powder. The fried rice was so delicious. I think this is the first time I had fried rice with curry powder and it definitely was tasty. We devoured our dishes and there were no grains left on the dishes. The staff were very friendly and I would definitely come back to try other dishes. read more

We've been coming to this restaurant over several years and absolutely love this restaurant! The food is fantastic. The fresh rolls are the best around, and we've been to several Thai places. Perfectly sized and made. The service is great. Always accommodating and quick. Last, but definitely not the least is the atmosphere at the restaurant. The decor is so soothing and the background music is at a perfect volume. I even noticed that the volume of their phone didn't disturb our dining. read more

This place has been around for decades. The owner and main chefs are still one of the original crew members so you can assure that the food is still from the original recipes. That is what I like about this restaurant. Family owned, owners and chefs are there and make sure that dishes are prepared correctly and consistently. I have been their customer for years and will continue to be. read more

Very disappointed in this place. The food quality has gone down hill. On top of the low food quality, I bought take out food from Thai Taste and found a metal nail inside my pad thai noodles when I came home... I will not be returning! read more

I showed up Sunday night at about 745. I only drove to Massachusetts for a bottle of wine. Yankee liquor was closed. So I went over to Thai taste for a couple of drinks and to buy some food. I ordered shrimp Phad Thai. 3 pieces of shrimp! 3! A pound is about 15-16$ but for some reason 3 pieces of Shrimp and some noodles WHICH WERE DELICIOUS BY THE WAY. Were 20$. If you're wanting shrimp in every bite? Never gonna happen. Also; one piece of tofu was unceremoniously tossed in. ?? Taste great! Portions? Poor.everything else was good. Place was clean. Nice folks....but 3 pieces of Shrimp!!?? Wow. read more

I absolutely adore this place!!!!! I literally drive here from Providence just to get pad Thai. Honestly, the best. I've tried pad Thai at other places and no one comes even close. read more

I enjoy the food here. Service is friendly. Everything has gone down in quantity and a little bit in quality. Chicken pad Thai is my favorite very little chicken tons of fresh bean sprouts. A side of peanut sauce is an expensive extra. Although I still recommend Thai Taste, I must say the quality has gone down and the prices have gone way up read more

I have been loyal to Thai Taste for more than 10 years but I can no longer continue to patronize this restaurant. While the food is fabulous, the prices have risen astronomically. $21 for fried rice? that is beyond gouging. I'll find an alternative. f read more

My family and I stopped here for a quick last minute dinner, the staff was really nice along with the food. We got Thai iced teas to drink which were very good and sweet. For starters I got the Tom Yum hot and sour soup with chicken in it, it was very tasty and tangy although I wish it was a tad more spicy! Finally I got Mango fried rice for my main, the chicken was tender and the curry spice really added a nice touch. Overall a great dinner, staff were friendly and food was great!! read more

Had the Tom Yum Soup, this flavoring has to come out of a jar, (not restaurant grade). The seafood additions were shrimp, imitation crab, fresh mushrooms and were not bad). But for flavor, not authentic. This broth was too salty with lots of sugar, When asked by the waitress if the soup was good, I told her the broth was way too sweet (let alone salty). The bill for 14.99 for this soup was not acceptable. After much adieu they split the difference, Maybe they can work on the broth in the future, but I won't be back. read more

Delicious curry, rice and duck! Love this place. We do take out often from this place and it never disappoints

We have Always had a good experience with this restaurant. My favorite two things are the coconut soup with chicken and the fried ice cream ! read more

This restaurant is tucked away in a Plaza and could be easily missed. They offer a great selection of classic Thai foods. One of my go to dishes is always the Thai fried rice, delicious! We also like this place for having a bar and offering beer and wine. Some other restaurants nearby are byob or no alcohol at all. But the trade off is that some of those restaurants have better reviews. We came with a group of six, our waitress was nice and attentive. Food came out in a reasonable amount of time and pretty much everyone enjoyed their dishes (though some noted portion sizes seem to have shrunk). read more

So good! Everything we've ordered so far has been amazing! It's awesome they have gluten free options and the food is so fresh! The service is very helpful and everyone is so kind! The restaurant is very clean inside too~ we'll definitely be back! read more

Our absolute favorite Pad Thai spot. Always friendly, quick, consistent service. We eat here once a week and it's always great!

I sat in to eat and had the red curry with beef and rice .. delicious . I have been thinking about it ever since I left !! Clean dining area , friendly staff . Food portion was generous and they packed the rest for me to go without me asking . How kind of them .. read more

Great little place! Cozi, excellent food and service. I love the Pad Kee Mow and my wife orders the Healthy Fried Rice but mild as normally spicy. They are very accommodating at changing a spice level. We've been coming for at least 10 years. Probably here Twice a month. read more

Delicious, fresh food, but skip the scorpion bowl. Not being from the Swansea area I'd have never know this restaurant was there, tucked away in a small strip mall off the main road and found it with a quick internet search for a restaurants near the movie theater. The service was quick, attentive and friendly and they seemed to be pretty busy with take out orders, which is always a good sign.. We started with beef satay which was tender and flavorful served with the usual peanut sauce and a vinegar based cucumber sauce. For entrees we got yellow beef curry and chicken Massaman curry. They were both great! Though, be aware you do have to order your rice separately for an additional charge, which is something I haven't seen in other Thai restaurants. The curries weren't as spicy as I am accustomed to, as they are likely appealing to the American pallet which is good for those intimidated by curry's heat. Overall I would definitely go back, but their scorpion bowl was too sweet and mostly tasted like punch. Skip that and order yourself a Thai iced tea instead! read more

Thai Taste will forever hold a special place in my heart. This place is where I tried Thai food for the first time, and I fell in love. I've been coming here since I moved to Swansea for high school in 2011, and no matter how many Thai places I try I still think about this place. I always get either the pad thai or noodles & tender beef for an entree. As for appetizers, I LOVE the kra tongs tongs and chicken satay with a passion. Of course, I have to get the thai iced tea and finish off with the fried ice cream! read more

Got takeout from here! Got the pork red curry, doesn't come with white rice so we had to order a side of it! It was delicious and the perfect amount of spicy, the pork was a little dry for my liking but that was my only compliant. Definitely the best Thai in the area. read more

Please see my main review below. This is a follow-up comment. It is now ten years later. The friend I used to eat with here is retired and living in Massachusetts. However, I have a new friend now that I am eating with. This restaurant is now fully open after the pandemic, and the food is as good as I remembered. Both my friend and I loved our dishes. I got green curry, and she got a sweet dish. A note about the curry: If you like mild foods, the curry (either green or red) will strike you as very hot. However, after eating the food for a while, your mouth will get used to the heat and it will become more tolerable. To me, the green curry is the most delicious food on the whole Earth. The only problem with our recent visit is that the restaurant was too chilly; but we both had light jackets with us, so we didn't mind. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Hi....i like the thai here, not as authentic as some...but better than traditional Chinese. I like most of the apps and the curry dishes!!

While waiting for my daughters softball tournaments to start in Swansea, I came across this little Thai restaurant. I ordered to go, so I could watch the games with my family. The food was made in short time, and really good prices. I was pleasantly surprised with how delicious the meal was from the side of the softball field. The ladies in the restaurant were very kind and accommodating. Highly recommend this Thai restaurant read more

I was at this place in 2017. The foods were good. I had an opportunity to visit this place last week and the quality of the food remained the same. Must try if you are in the area. read more

Great variety of Thai items. We primarily do take out, but dine in is also excellent.

Terrible service. Asked for a small bit of red pepper flakes along with our take out order, and they refused.

Excellent! Amazing food & great service. It is very clean and the food was presented well. read more

The red mountain dish is the cure for depression. I think it might even help with chronic knee pain. I can eat that dish all day long.

So my GF and I have returned to Thai Taste a number of times since my initial review. The latest occurrence was last night for dinner. Word to the wise: You can't go wrong ordering the Satay as your appetizer. Because you'll receive a decent sized portion of perfectly cooked chicken and beef, barbecued on skewers and served with peanut and cucumber sauces. For my entrée, I chose the Panang Curry with the pork election, though I received chicken instead. The error quickly faded from memory when I first sank my teeth into it. The dish came slathered in a coconut milk concoction with peppers, string beans, snow peas, mushrooms and lemon leaves. I ordered two dishes of white rice just to eke out all the deliciousness. She had the Pad Ki Mow, extra spicy. It arrived as a plate of stir-fried noodles, peppers, string beans, bamboo shoots, onion and basil leaves. She made the pork election and was thrilled with the taste. I'm sure she'll be eating her leftovers for lunch with an ear to ear smile of satisfaction on her face. Main update: Last night, our waitress treated us like visiting dignitaries. So for all appearances, the service issues I encountered in my initial visit have since been remedied. read more

Ordered Shrimp Pad Thai and one of their specials, Red Mountain with Beef! It's our go to order and perfect every time!

I have been visiting the Swansea Mall my whole life and had noticed this place on the side of the road. I always though it was just some run on the mill take out place, I was very very wrong. I recently mentioned to someone that I could not find any good Pad Thai in the area and was told that this is the go to place in the area. I lived in Boston for a few years and had found some ok Thai food, but this blew them all out of the water. The dinning area is very simple and needs a bit of work, it had a strange smell to it that wasn't from the food but I didn't feel like it was unclean and it felt safe eating. It really was the best Pad Thai I had ever had, it had little pieces of fried tofu and was just perfect. The beef and noodles were also very good. It is reasonably priced with a good quantity. They also have fried ice cream that is amazing. The service is very quick and friendly. read more

I love the food here! Veggies always taste fresh and genuinely so well cooked. The prices have gone up, though that is much like every other restaurant during/following covid. I have never regretted a meal choice here. I'm vegan so my options are usually limited but there is a good selection of plant based options. The staff are polite :) and I enjoy the quite ambiance of the restaurant when I eat in. Overall great food and service read more

I get takeout around twice a month. Food is consistently good. Prices are good as well. Staff is always friendly. One of my favorite restaurants. I'd recommend the chicken satay, coconut soup, Pad Thai, Pad Ki Mow or the yellow curry. Definitely recommend if you're in the mood for Thai food! read more
