    Pad Thai Beautiful make me hungry tastes Good for me is yummy food. Yum yum Padthai Good service fast food

    Greasy drunken noodles
    Kelly G.

    This is not Thai food. Not even close. Boiled chicken. Watered down curries and sauces. Not cooked enough. Oily noodles. Really disappointing, especially given the prices. Won't be going back.

    Pad Ma Mung Lunch. Cashew Chicken.
    Lynn A.

    This is our favorite place to eat in Raleigh. We drive two hours to eat here. We mainly order the cashew chicken and the orange duck, but even if we venture out onto other things, everything is wonderful. The pork shumai are great and delicate, the vegetarian eggrolls are fantastic, the sweet-and-sour is really good, even the house salad tastes good. Someday I'll venture and try a few other things, but when you drive two hours, I prefer to get what I already know, and I am just too satisfied. We do not order out, we always eat there, even though there are only two tables. Anyone who doesn't like Thaiphoon Bistro is either lying, jealous, or crazy.

    Pad Thai (3/5)
    Bryce P.

    Overall: Really solid food. Painful wait times. Pad Thai (3/5): Good flavor, though the ratio of items were off. Too many noodles and not enough fillings (meat/veggies) and sauce. Would venture for a different noodle dish or curry if we were to go back. Pad Ma Keur (4/5): Favorite dish of the night. Super flavorful and relatively light. Really appreciated the use of chinese eggplant, versus regular eggplant. Good with pork and with tofu. Added broccoli to give this dish a bit more texture. Would order again. Bonus: Order well in advance. Our 40 min wait turned into a 75 min wait, and we weren't the only ones there who had to wait ~2x beyond the time originally stated. This alone has left me uncertain as to whether we'll order from here again, which is a bummer as the food was really solid. Hope they get this right.

    This is the golden triangle. Don't bother.
    Justin C.

    My overall experience here was awful. Disclaimer: I did order through uber eats (some stuff you just have to have at the restaurant). There was no flavor in either entree and I am no tofu expert but the golden triangle was also flavorless and the dipping sauce was mediocre at best. The only reason I'm not rating this lower is because as stated above, I had it delivered.

    Food is great but it's such a bad customer experience when you change your hours and don't update them on Apple Maps.

    Thai Crab Rangoon

    One of the best crab rangoons in Raleigh. They have great lunch specials. We recommend their red curry and pad Thai

    (Very)Sweet and Sour Chicken
    Markita A.

    Went in to give them a try and I ordered the Sweet & Sour Chicken lunch special. It comes with a salad and steamed rice. I will say that I did not enjoy the main dish. It was way too sweet for me. Like candy sweet....so I'm giving them 3 stars for now. I'll give another dish a try and report back here.

What a great idea! I like to come here for one dish: the squash curry or the pumpkin curry. It's either vegetarian or vegan, so yeah, it's pretty much the highlight of the menu as far as I'm concerned. It's called the Manda Curry or Mom's Curry: Slow-cooked house coconut curry with fresh root vegetables, jasmine rice, and pumpkin. It reminds me of Vientiane Palace's Squash Curry. Upscale ambience!

We came in with some friends on a Monday to celebrate a birthday. My friend has a gluten and dairy allergy, which was actually no problem here. So if that is a dietary concern for you or a loved one - this is a great spot to bring them! We were all able to enjoy a majority of the food. My partner and I both enjoyed a mocktail version of the roselle freezy - it was amazing! Either as a mocktail or a cocktail, you should try this drink. For starters, we had the crispy chicken wings, spring rolls with veggies, and the lettuce wraps. We all enjoyed the chicken wings so much that we got a second order of them. I enjoyed the spring rolls much more than the lettuce wraps as they had more flavor to them. For dinner, we shared an order of the Manda Amphone's Curry and the chicken pad thai. I originally did not expect to be blown away by the pad thai - boy, was I wrong. This is hands down the best pad thai I have ever had. If you love pad thai, you need to try theirs. I also thoroughly enjoyed the curry. Both dishes were rich and flavorful and came with enough to share between 4 adults. Overall, not having been to Bida Manda in 10+ years, I was impressed and will definitely return.

I'd recommend parking a few blocks away and walking if you are unable to find parking nearby. Walking into the restaurant you'll be transported to a modern brewery, bookstore, and flower shop. It feels chic, Belgian inspired, and upscale. To start I ordered a Vase IPA which was excellent. I then switched to cocktails and ordered the Black Sesame Old Fashioned (bourbon, black sesame, black walnut bitters), the Dionysus (pinot noir, raspberry lemon shrub, chambord, amaretto, lemon, rhubarb bitters), and an aviation (hendricks, luxardo, creme de violette, lemon). By far the Black Sesame Old Fashioned was my favorite and what a nice touch with cracker on top of the dish. For food we ordered the Gai Lan (Stir-fried Chinese broccoli with garlic and oyster sauce), the Peking Duck (Whole, barbecued, free-range duck served with steamed bao buns, cucumber, scallions, and hoisin-honey sauce), Sweet Soy Chicken (Scallions, bell peppers, and caramelized in our ginger soy sauce. Served with jasmine rice), the Lo Mein Noodles (Stir-fried noodles with julienned shiitake mushrooms, choy sum greens, soy sauce, and shrimp), seafood dumplings (Lobster, shrimp, and scallop dumplings served in garlic and black mushroom sauce with fried Youtiao doughnuts), Chicken Curry Bao (Steamed buns filled with spicy yellow chicken and vegetable curry), the Beef with Longhorn Peopers (Sautéed beef, ginger, and longhorn peppers with Shaoxing wine sauce. Served with jasmine rice), the Xiao Long Bao (Steamed crab and ground pork soup dumplings), Nasi Goreng Crab Fried Rice (Traditional Indonesian Chinese fried rice with blue crab meat, Nam Pla fish sauce, house made Nasi Goreng sauce, served in an egg crêpe), and the General Tso's Chicken (Crunchy, sweet, and tangy, Bhavana's General Tso comes with your choice of chicken or tofu tossed in our house-made General sauce and topped with sesame seeds. Served with jasmine rice). By far our favorite food items were the seafood dumplings (excellent flavor, Chinese donuts were so good, along with the flavor from the broth), and the shrimp lo mein noodles (cooked perfectly and the sauce was perfectly distributed). Definitely check out brewery bhavana if you are looking for excellent Chinese food in the Raleigh area. This is by far one of my favorite restaurants in the area.

My husband dined here several years ago, and…read moreevery time Raleigh comes up in conversation, he hyped this local gem up to me and said it was a must-visit whenever we had the chance. Well, I finally got to try Brewery Bhavana and it was indeed incredible. Definitely worth the hype. We met my coworker and her partner here for dinner, and I was grateful we had a reservation because this spot was poppin' on a Monday night! The dining room is huge, but the decor breaks things up a bit and makes your meal feel intimate. Everything is shareable, so I highly recommend visiting with fellow foodies who want to try a little bit of everything. Honestly the entire menu sounded amazing, and it was hard to choose! Thankfully our servers provided some excellent recommendations. The Pork Bao was probably my favorite bite of the night, and may very well have been the best Bao I've ever had. The Lap Cheung Fried Rice was also delicious, and I'm usually not a fried rice person! Also worth mentioning is the Lo Mein, which we ordered with chicken. We didn't stay for dessert, but all of their sweet offerings sounded incredible as well. I did try one of the beers they brew on-site, the Sow. It was light and sippable, and I appreciate their diverse beer and cocktail offerings. I can't wait to visit Raleigh again because this will be my first stop!

I ordered the lo mein, bamboo flounder fish, and a side of fried rice. Unfortunately, the lo mein was extremely greasy, the fried rice was overly salty, and the shrimp was hard, overcooked and not fresh. When I informed the waiter that I would not be eating the lo mein due to its condition, I was told that I would still have to pay for it and that it did not matter whether I liked it or not. He initially refused to remove the dish from my bill. After eventually taking it off, he told me that he never wanted to see my face again as I was leaving. What disappoints me most is that I genuinely enjoyed this restaurant and had been a repeat customer. The decline in food quality combined with the way my concerns were handled has left a very negative impression. Unfortunately, I will be taking my business elsewhere.
