We always stop here if we are passing through Oklahoma. Everything we've ordered has been wonderful. And the iced coffee is amazing! I really wish this restaurant was closer to home. The service is always good and the ambiance is nice and the booths are comfortable. read more

They have Very good and service, with reasovable prices..I eat there several times a month.

A personal favorite, but keep in mind that I absolutely love vegetables and I like spicy foods! I try to eat somewhat healthy and get 1/2 plate serving of vegetables, 1/4 plate of protein, and 1/4 plate of carbs. So if I eat 1/4 of the rice, I meet my nutrition goals by eating here! Food is delicious every time, service is reliable, and the place is clean & pretty. I love all the different flavors of Thai food and this place always pleases! Prices are reasonable and won't break the bank. Good food for a good value. Will be back again soon. read more

Thawan Thai Cuisine is a good Thai restaurant in Norman. I love the fresh flower centerpiece for each table, extra points for effort. Pad Thai is the restaurant's most popular entree. It was good, but not the best though. I can think of restaurants with better Pad Thai. What I loved most about the Pad Thai here was the large quantity of vegetables accompanying the dish. The mango sticky rice was amazing. If you need a dessert, it's the one to get. Actually, at Thawan Thai Cuisine, it's the only dessert. I prefer having one excellent dessert over a million mediocre desserts. Nice cozy small Thai restaurant. Alcohol is also available for anyone in the mood. Tonight, I am alcohol out. Service was slow. I feel like they have a policy of "no check until the plate is empty" or something. read more

Food/Taste/Flavor: 5/5 - Basil Fried Rice with beef (Kao-Pad Ga-Praw) and Red Curry with pork (Gang Deang). Very generous serving size and we are so happy that there's enough rice for the curry! Even at a 3 spicy (out of 5), there was quite a kick to the curry. The bell peppers were bright and a great compliment to the creamy curry. The fried rice was savory with a lovely strong taste of the basil and they provide a slice of lime that gives it a great acidity. The bell peppers were a bit overcooked, but still a great dish overall. Service: 5/5 - friendly and quick service Ambiance: n/a - ordered food to go. Value for price: 5/5 - one of our favorite Thai places in quite a while. The food is absolutely delicious, generous portions, and such friendly service! read more

This is a very good Thai restaurant, I really enjoyed my entrée. Be warned the food is on the spicy side. This restaurant serves spice level 1 - 5 stars. I ordered 3 stars, it was very hot. If you don't enjoy spicy food, I suggest ordering your meal at this restaurant 1 star. read more

Thawan Thai Cuisine - Chicken Pad Thai spice level 2 not to hot just right! - Thai Near Me - Norman, Oklahoma

One of my favorite Thai restaurants! And not just in Norman. I travel a lot and because I'm vegetarian I regularly choose Thai cuisine. This is some of the best. Service is exceptionally efficient and friendly. Prices are in line. Treat yourself! read more

"Pineapple Fried Rice: Your choice of meat, vegetable, or tofu. Pineapple, egg, onion, carrot, cashew nuts, with a hint of seasoning" I have eaten at every Thai restaurant in Norman. I have my favorites but all are at least good, including Thawan Thai. The reviews here made me want to try it. Pineapple Fried Rice is my go-to dish and how I compare between the different restaurants. Most of them are very good to excellent but what I got from Thawan was far below any of the others. One reason is because the flavor was very bland. Maybe that's what they mean by "hint" of seasoning, but that would be overstating it. And I'm not talking about spice levels. I had to put some soy sauce on it to give it any character at all. I have never had to do that anywhere else. The second reason is because it came with ZERO pineapple or cashews! So disappointing. I also ordered Pad Gra-Tiem Stir Fry (Garlic) vegetables. If there was any garlic in it you couldn't tell by me. At least the cucumber salad was as good as any I've ever had. But that is not enough to bring me back. I will be returning to my favorites. read more

I ordered the Tom Yum noodle soup (level 0 spice) and the papaya salad Laos style (level 1 spice). I usually go for level 2-3 but wasn't in the mood for anything too spicy this time. I was very disappointed by the dine-in service and experience. My waitress had an attitude and smirked when I asked for little spice. When my soup arrived it was a clear broth, completely lacking the traditional Tom Yum paste and flavors. Unfortunately, the waitress didn't explain that ordering no spice would mean removing the key elements that make this dish so distinctive. This lack of communication left me disappointed, as I would have ordered differently if I had known. On a brighter note, the papaya salad was wonderful, and I order it every time I visit. Hopefully they improve their service and provide better communication to let customers know what to expect with modifications. read more

We have been getting dinner to go from here for a long time and the food is always really good. Tonight was the second time we have dined in. We took a party of 7 in for dinner and the experience was less than stellar. Our waitress was extremely rude. To the point she would not even acknowledge when someone spoke to her. This is the first time I have had an issue with my food but my order was botched. I ordered the Pad See Ew with beef and 3 spicy. I got the PSE but with chicken and not spicy at all. It was fine but definitely disappointed. I will order take out in the future but I doubt I return to eat in the restaurant. read more

Excellent! We were visiting from CO for OU Family Weekend. We ended up going twice here because it was SO good! Two vegans in our party of three, and we were well satisfied. Excellent food and service. Will be back! I got the Eggplant basil vegetable dish and it was terrific. read more

Good Thai food in a convenient location. We were in town for a few days and needed a meal that wasn't fried everything, and found this place on Yelp. The spring roll was very fresh and the added shrimp was tasty, though it was a bit heavy on the lettuce. The pad see ew was very good with beef, and the basil fried rice was definitely fine. All in all, a decent change of pace from the usual fare. read more

Was great food and beautiful inside with nice people! Very recommended! Clean and everything looked so comfortable! Are there twice and so far it's great! read more

Sorry we are all the food before I took pics but it was amazing!! The staff was sweet and very attentive. I got the chicken pad thai spice level 2 but then added more myself (3 would've been perfect). My hubby got yellow shrimp curry and it was so good too and the side of rice comes out heart shaped, how cute is that??? read more

Yum yum yummy x 10! We ordered delivery and had the fried chicken wings, chicken pad Thai, shrimp Kao pad (fried rice spicy 3, so good), and crab angels (crab ragoons. Very flavorful!!) and it was all absolutely fantastic. Some of the best Thai food I've had in Norman so far and can't wait to try a few more things on the menu! read more

I think we have a new favorite Thai restaurant. The pad Thai was really good as was the pad see eew. Warning; they don't mess around with spice. I can take some heat and a 2 on my dish was plenty warm. The prices were good, the service was great, and the ambiance was wonderful. We will definitely be back. read more

My partner and I stopped in for lunch after an early appointment in Norman and were pleasantly surprised! Cozy atmosphere, excellent service, and great flavors. Best Thai we've had since moving to Oklahoma. We shared the Evil Jungle Curry and the Pad Kee Mao; choosing level 1 spice on both, I could have handled/preferred more spicy, but my partner was staying on the safe side. Both dishes were excellent, but the Evil Jungle Curry was the star. Can't wait til the next time we're in town to return for more. read more

The food is good and spicy! I got a level 4 for my pad see ewe and it was a god burning spice. My husband got a level 5 curry but I thought it was less spicy than mine. The chicken satay I will pass next time it wasn't that good. The service was great and quick. Nice small place. read more

Thawan Thai Cuisine - Chicken Satay - Thai Near Me - Norman, Oklahoma

Came to Norman for doctor appointment and as usual looked for an Asian place that had great reviews that we had not tried. While researching I saw this had something called "evil jungle curry"! Smart marketing because I could not resist it! I chose the salad option with the ginger dressing and was pleased that it wasn't a mayonnaise concoction. It had finely chopped ginger in a vinegar (maybe) base that was excellent! Then came the main course. The description says it has shredded chicken on a base of cabbage so I thought it was an excuse to "cheap out" with a lot of filler. Hahaha, they need to change their description because it is 98% chicken, colorful pepper chunks and curry broth with barely discernible cabbage. It was also in a small bowl (we are used to the giant bowls that Pho and vermicelli bowls come in) which initially disappointed me until I realized how much food was actually in that bowl! I could only eat half of it and brought the rest of it home. The rice seemed very much like the Botan rice I make it home which has the right amount of stickiness and fluffiness. The yellow curry itself was as delicious as I expected it to be. I chose level three heat which was perfect for me. I have no memory what my husband got as I was so focused on my own dish! Ha! Will definitely go back if wherever in this part of town again. read more

Definitely eat your food at the restaurant as your portion is larger than a to-go order. My friends and I love this place - as it is the best Thai in Norman. Usually we get our order to-go but decided to eat at the restaurant last Friday. It was packed, due to a large 12 person group who took up most of the dining area, but they asked for a phone number and said they would call when a table opened up. It was less than a 10 minute wait and we sat in the car. Once we sat down, the servers were friendly and efficient, starting with our drink orders. They gave us plenty of time to look over the menu and then took our orders on a tablet, I requested no bean sprouts with my Chicken Pad Thai (order was correct!). I ordered my Pad Thai with glass noodles - very thin noodles, but different texture and taste than the traditional egg noodle. The dish was delicious! My friend always orders their Tofu Kao Soi and the dine-in portion was so much larger than the to-go portion! She received twice the amount of soft egg noodles (which are delicious) and asked for an extra order of sticky white rice to soak up the yummy curry sauce (very thin fyi). They also serve fantastic Thai Iced tea - you are charged $0.75 more for light ice or no ice since they pour more in the glass. We ordered fried vegetable potstickers, pork dumplings and vegetable fried spring rolls along with an extra side of peanut sauce (extra small fee) When the potstickers came out, I asked if they were veggie (they weren't) and the kitchen remade the correct order. The steamed dumplings are their version of shu-mai and had a lot of flavor The peanut sauce was delicious with all the appetizers and able to take half home for later read more

Very good Pad Thai. Flavor was bold, ingredients fresh, it was served piping hot, and portion was huge for $10.95. It wasn't quite perfect -- chicken was plentiful but a little tough..There was very little scrambled egg..And while peanut was there, not enough to impact flavor much. Still, flavor had depth, with plenty of sauteed green onion. Better than others I've had in the metro area recently. The lady who served us was quiet, a bit serious, but for takeout I didn't mind. And she did meet us curbside. Keep in mind it's in an unremarkable little strip mall hidden behind another building. There's a lot of takeout going on here. We left feeling especially satisfied. I nearly ordered another to take home for later. read more

What a gem this Thai restaurant is to Norman! Walked in and was immediately waited on. I ordered the chicken pad thai, spice level 2, and it was amazing. Some of the best pad thai I've had. I will definitely be back! read more

I ordered the duck curry to go. When I got to the restaurant to pick up, I was presented with a bill +$10 more than what I was expecting. I asked them about the difference and they said it was a temporary price increase. I wish they updated their website or notified me when I ordered because I wasn't expecting to pay $30 for a single dinner for myself tonight. Disappointing service. read more

We popped into this place before Sam's Club because I was starving and didn't want anything fried or heavy. I ordered the Fresh Rolls and the Pork Pot Stickers (steamed). They made the food fast, it was really pretty (even for to go), and my husband and I demolished it before we finished our errands. We fully intend on returning for a full meal soon. Really glad we decided to grab food here today! The place is pretty clean and the servers were all nice as well. read more

Hits with both quality of food and service. Extremely attentive staff and patrons are noticeably eager when they arrive. I had the pineapple curry, which I highly recommend.

Food is delicious and the ambiance is subdued. Nice place for date night. Service is excellent.

We LOVE this place. My current obsession is their yakisoba noodles. they were just so delicious and actually spicy! my absolute favorite thing on the menu. the curry is also delicious. the one downside (which is why i give this place a 4/5 instead of 5/5) is i wish they allowed for more substitutions. i couldn't eat rice for a period of time due to getting my wisdom teeth out so i asked of i could substitute the rice for some noodles even if i had to pay extra but they wouldn't allow it. which i get but also disappointed at the same time. read more
