    Side sticky rice and spicy Laarb
    Liz W.

    Ordered this place via DoorDash. The food itself was good, the fried rice was tasty. My husband said the red curry was decent. The portions are very small. $10 for mango sticky rice and it was a tiny ball of rice. Same for the side order of just sticky rice $3 and a very small side. I know door dash up charges a little so I can't be too upset. If I tried again, I'd just dine in. It wasn't worth the $93 I paid for delivery.

    Dumplings

    We ordered our lunch from this place and it did not disappoint. Everything was delicious. So good I don't have a lot of pics. The dumplings were flavorful and full of meat . The Basil Thai rice was delicious. The chicken satay on a skewer was flavorful and tender. The pad won sen, noodles were delicious. Everything was delicious, will definitely order again.

    Pad Woon Sen combo with beef and shrimp, extra hot. Perfection!

    O...M...G This food is F'ing PHENOMENAL! This is my very first experience and I will definitely return. Just Crazy! I had the Wonton Soup, spicy, the Shumai and the Pad Woon Sen combo with beef and shrimp. I added eggplant and basil, Extra Hot. The Shumai was truly delicious, but the soup and the Pad Woon Sen? Lights out. Please visit this place. I need it to succeed. Absolutely worth it.

    Now I love my Thai Zapp!!!!! And you know I had to try this location. It was soooooo yummy. I used Door Dash and tried the take out first. The food was plated perfectly and with the same care as it always is. The flavor was spot on. The sauce was just right. Not too much and not to little for the noodles to be dry. Next time I will go and dine in.

    Fried bananas

    Recently visited after my trip from Thailand because Im still strung out on the food. This food literally tastes like the food I had in Phuket. The staff is SUPER dope, they are very friendly, and Ive had a GREAT conversation with everyone that has serviced me! Its really quiet and calm inside with cool music. I always get the drunken noodles, tea, and maybe a mango sticky rice, fried bananas and coconut ice cream. I will say as someone else did, I expected a bigger portion of rice for the sticky rice but I got distracted because the ice cream was SO good.

    Drunken noodles with Beef

    Had an amazing experience at our department lunch today at Thai Zaap Express. There is a cute dining area in the back and the drunken noodles with beef were incredible (10 out of 10). Loved meeting the owner and will definitely be back soon!

    Really nice meal before the show with my vegetarian friends…read more Recently a couple of friends and I needed to grab a quick bite. I thought we were going to another place when one of my guests suggested Thaihey across the street from the fire station on Decatur. Yes, sure. It's a typical Quarter restaurant with its long gallery seating. We were seated right away. The menu appeared to be heavily vegetarian which was great for my two friends. Many will understand the limited menu options for vegetarians at most places. Wes ordered Tom Kai, Becky the Massaman Jackfruit option and I the one with short rib. It was delicious. It was warm and comforting, full of flavor and the chef made it less spicy for me. What a delight to choose a menu option that I have never had and restaurant that I have never been to. You believe that I'll return for certain. Especially for that gorgeous Mai Tai!

We got the Mule cocktail and the. Finished the meal with the Thai old fashion, which was a clever twist on the classic old fashion. The place has a nice feel and decorated modestly with a definite Thai influence from a city the owner may have been from. Our Takeaway was it's Thai with a twist, which was nice. Try Thaihey you should be pleasantly surprised.

With that out of the way, choosing tofu as the protein opens up almost the entire menu, very nice. We had Pad Thai, Pad Cha stir fry, and tofu soup. All were very well seasoned and outstanding. We ate at the sidewalk seating on a glorious evening. Not much more to say. Order at the counter, get a number, find a table, food will be delivered and the table cleared. When we arrived there was a line out the door (maybe 20-25 yards); this line was constant from the time we arrived til we departed. It moved reasonably well and it appeared many of the people knew each other. People visiting other tables, probably more than any restaurant I've ever been at. Definitely would return.

Thai food can sometimes be hit or miss for me, and I'm usually pretty particular about what I order. I don't tend to branch out too much when it comes to Thai food because I already know what I like. But this place definitely impressed me. From the rice dishes to the noodle dishes, everything was seasoned perfectly and packed with flavor. Each bite was delicious, and I really enjoyed how well-balanced all the flavors were. It was the kind of meal where you just keep eating and forget you were supposed to take pictures in the first place! The restaurant itself is spacious and has a really beautiful aesthetic. I loved the combination of the artwork and exposed brick walls. Together, they create this rustic, cozy feel that makes the space feel both stylish and inviting. The ordering process is pretty simple. They give you a menu when you arrive, and then you head up to the register to place your order and pay. The food came out surprisingly quickly, which was definitely a plus because I was hungry! Overall, I really enjoyed my experience here. The food was flavorful, the atmosphere was beautiful, and the service was quick and easy. I'm glad I decided to give this place a try, and I'd definitely come back to enjoy another meal here.

All of the food is priced extremely reasonable - I'd happily pay more for the meal I had today. The fried rice dishes offer a spice level choice ranging from 1 to 5.

Although the restaurant was busy, it was comfortable and not overly loud. As always, the food did not disappoint. I had a cup of Tom Kha soup with chicken, while my husband ordered the Tom Yum soup with chicken. Both were perfectly spicy and absolutely delicious. We also shared a sausage appetizer, which was very good, and then split a shrimp and scallop entrée that was truly outstanding. I will definitely be ordering that again. I can't wait to go back.

As people who always enjoy a really good Thai meal, we were skeptical about Asian food in New Orleans, but oh my gosh, this place is phenomenal. The restaurant is ran by a couple who are amazing. The husband runs the front house and visits with the costomers annd is a delight to talk with. His wife is the executive chef and oh boy does she know how to cook! There are so many things on the menu and she seems to have mastered all the ones we tried. The pad kee mao is cooked and seasoned just right. The noodles were not over again, perfectly held together. The spiciness was right on. I asked for five out of 10 and it was maybe a six was delightful.

Everything looked clean, organized, and welcoming, and the staff was friendly during pickup. Food: The food was good overall.

It wasn't trying too hard or overly complicated -- just solid Thai food that hits the spot. Service: Service was smooth and friendly. My order was ready in a reasonable amount of time, and the staff made the pickup process easy with no issues. Ambiance: Even though I got takeout, the inside looked nice from what I could see. The restaurant had a clean and relaxed atmosphere with a cool casual vibe to it. Overall: Good Catch Thai Bistro delivered solid food, friendly service, and a clean environment. Nothing overly fancy, but sometimes simple and well-made is exactly what you want. Definitely a good spot if you're in the mood for reliable Thai food.

The drunken noodles were super flavorful on their own, and they definitely weren't kidding about the spice level. We ordered level 4 spicy and they actually added real Thai chilies into the noodles. But the real star of the meal was the dessert. The sticky rice was sweet, soft, and warm, and the coconut milk on the side made it good enough to eat by itself. Pairing it with the ube ice cream just took it to another level -- the mix of warm and cold together was so good. I've never had sticky rice with ube ice cream before, but honestly it might be something I start ordering from now on.

Some dishes better than ones we've had back home in the Bay. Parking can be difficult as it is on a main busy street. There's a lot of people outside because there's a neighboring bar. Didn't get to try their dessert because they didn't have mango. I'd definitely recommend this spot especially if you're looking for something different.
