Great dining area that was clean and welcoming, fantastic staff and some of the best Thai food We've ever had. They bring out this wonderful complimentary cup of piping hot soup with your drink order. We ordered spring rolls and the Cashew chicken lunch portion to share. Both came out hot and delicious! We decided while we live in a different part of the city this place is worthy of a special trip to come back. We will be back...Thank you for a great lunch!!

Wow! Such a great experience…read more The food including appetizers and entrees were out in less than 5 minutes after ordering. The waiter checked in often to ensure we were enjoying everything and had no issues. Although it's a small space, we didn't have to wait when attending on a Saturday evening around 7pm. The crab Rangoon was delicious! I would go back just for that. For my entree, I got the Vietnamese Fried Rice. Every bite was full of flavor. There was enough for leftovers and it tasted just as good the next day. I can't wait to go back to try more of the menu.

Quite literally the worst Thai food I've ever had and I'm a pretty big fan of Thai food. I've had a lot of delicious curry and noodle dishes. The broccoli and or green vegetables are yellow... rotten. The noodles are not really even noodles. I'm not sure why the flat rice noodles are not a solid noodle staying together. It's more just clumps of randomness. Zero flavor the tofu tastes like the pan it was cooked in. Really awful. Veggies are basically raw. It came with a side of rice. I opted for the sticky rice and it's the driest rice I've ever had no joke. I'm not even trying to exaggerate. My food came out so fast, which seems like an issue because nothing's cooked or prepared to actually nourish somebody.

Basil Thai Cuisine is one of Uptown Charlotte's longtime favorites, and after dining here with a…read moregroup, I can see why. My biggest piece of advice: bring friends. The menu is extensive, portions are generous, and this is the kind of place where ordering a variety of dishes and sharing family-style is the way to go. That's exactly what we did. We sampled everything from fresh basil rolls, crispy egg rolls, fried wontons, and other appetizers to curries, noodle dishes, vegetables, duck, chicken, and more. The basil duck was outstanding, the red curry was rich and flavorful, and the ginger chicken was another favorite at our table. Every dish arrived fresh, hot, and beautifully prepared. The cocktails were equally impressive. Colorful, creative, and well-balanced, they paired perfectly with the bold flavors coming out of the kitchen. The restaurant itself is beautiful, with an open-concept kitchen that adds energy and excitement to the dining experience. Service was attentive, friendly, and efficient, even on a busy evening. Now for the only downside: the prices. Basil Thai is not inexpensive. Some menu items are priced more like what you'd expect in San Francisco than Charlotte. The portions are generous and the quality is excellent, but be prepared for the bill if you're ordering cocktails, appetizers, and multiple entrées. Parking can also be a little challenging since it's located in a busy Uptown area. Plan on using a nearby parking garage and walking a short distance to the restaurant. That said, if you're looking for a special night out, authentic Thai flavors, generous portions, beautiful cocktails, and a lively atmosphere, Basil Thai is well worth a visit. Life is too short not to eat well, Charlotte. Get out there and eat your way through it.

She was very friendly and had our drinks filled. She was the perfect amount of outgoing, but not too much. I normally get a spice level 3 so I got the medium, and it was way spicier than I expected. Basil was formal, but not too formal, we went after going to a Blumenthal event.

A Cotswold Thai gem -- and save room for dessert!…read more I've been to Thai House before, but this visit was prompted by an American Airlines miles promotion combined with OpenTable points. Honestly, I'm glad it gave me a reason to come back! Located in Cotswold, Thai House has its own private parking lot, which makes getting in and out easy. I was warmly greeted as soon as I arrived, and the friendly, attentive service continued throughout my meal. I already knew what I wanted for dessert, so naturally I planned dinner around it. Priorities! For my entrée, I ordered the Pad Krapraw with chopped chicken ($17.95), a spicy basil dish loaded with chicken and vegetables. It was absolutely delicious, flavorful and generously portioned. There was easily enough to take home for another meal, which makes the value even better. Then came the real reason I had been saving room: mango sticky rice ($8.95). Oh, my goodness. Fantastic. The mango was cool and refreshing, the creamy coconut sauce was also chilled, and the sticky rice arrived warm. That contrast of temperatures and textures made the dessert especially delicious. Sweet, creamy, fruity, warm and cool all at once. I would come back for the mango sticky rice alone. Service was quick, genuinely friendly and welcoming throughout my visit. I also learned about a dine-in promotion where guests can purchase a frozen meal for $9.95 to take home for later. That's going on my list for next time. Authentic, flavorful Thai food, generous portions, friendly service, good value and its own parking lot. If you're in the Cotswold area and craving Thai, Thai House is absolutely worth a visit. And yes, I'll be back. Life is too short not to eat well, travel well or shop well. Get out there and find your next destination!

When we arrived, Kimberly greeted us with a warm smile and was incredibly friendly and welcoming. We originally wanted to sit outside because the patio was nice, but it was a little too hot, so we chose to dine inside where it was much cooler and more comfortable. Alicia took our order, and I have to say she was one of the sweetest people I've met. She was friendly, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcome. We were offered soup to start, which was delicious. For our meal, we ordered the chicken Pad Thai and roasted duck with BBQ sauce on the side. The food was very good and definitely satisfied my craving. The food was great, but Alicia's exceptional customer service is what will bring me back. She truly made our visit memorable

I had a full-blown attack of the hangries after working nonstop since early morning, and all I…read morecould think about was Thai food. Naturally, I headed straight to Thai Thai Takeout, which has always been one of my comfort-food staples in Charlotte. Well, surprise -- the restaurant recently changed ownership and rolled out an entirely new menu. I was trying to order from my old takeout menu over the phone and quickly realized I was completely out of sync. Thankfully, the woman helping me was incredibly patient and kind while I figured it out. I ended up ordering the Pra Rahm Long Song with tofu, and honestly, it was delicious. It came loaded with steamed spinach, broccoli, mushrooms, carrots, napa cabbage, and cabbage covered in a rich peanut sauce that was comforting without feeling too heavy. The tofu soaked up all that flavor beautifully. I also ordered a pineapple red curry with pork at spice level 3. The curry itself was fantastic -- creamy, rich, loaded with pineapple, and really flavorful. I will say the spice level was pretty mild for a "3," so I added my own chilies at home to kick it up a notch. My only critique was the pork, which was a little dry and tough for my liking. I'm pretty particular about proteins and don't really do white meat chicken either, so next time I may try tofu or another option instead. The good news? The portions are generous, everything was packed nicely, and my order was hot and ready exactly when promised -- about 10 to 12 minutes after I called. Parking is easy right in front, and since it's takeout-only, it makes for a super quick and convenient dinner stop. Even though some longtime favorites like the satay seem to be gone, the new menu looks extensive and exciting enough that I'll absolutely be back to eat my way through it. Charlotte, there's a big wide world out there, and this is definitely a place worth adding to your regular rotation.

Nothing is worst than when you prepare to eat some food and it's nasty. I'm not going to say this…read morefood is outright nasty but it's not right. I'm basing this review on what I have known Thai Thai to be for years. I'm not sure when they changed but it's not good. None of the food is flavorful. It's all bland. Now it's been awhile since I've ordered from here but I live on the other side of town and had planned to order when I came over to this area. I ordered Pad Thai, Pad See Ew Gang Panang Curry and Thai Thai fried rice. I should have known something was up when a new voice answered the phone. She also had a hard time taking my order and the former cashier/owner had my order down pack. Now the new girl did try to make sure everything was right and even called back to confirm the order. Once home and unpacking the order I could tell something was up. Everything was packaged and looked different. Upon sampling all the items I can confirm the the chicken in each of the dishes is super thin and dried out. Kinda tough. The noodle dishes were also dry and don't taste good. The most palatable dish was the curry and that's not saying much. I'm going to do a little research but I'm pretty sure I will not be coming back to Thai Thai in the future and that hurts my heart.

We started with a "make your own spring roll," and our waitress took such joy in showing us the proper way to handle the rice paper and make the perfect roll. It made the experience so much fun! Then came our main meal -- a shrimp and chicken dish that was absolutely delicious. I honestly wished I could finish it because it was SO good, but there was so much food! And just when we thought the experience couldn't get any better, the owner (manager? I'm not sure!) came over with three small glasses and some red wine. She poured us each a glass, poured one for herself, gave us a Vietnamese "cheers," thanked us for coming in, and went on her way. It was such a simple, genuine gesture, but it made the whole experience. We honestly felt like family. **Amazing food, wonderful people, and definitely going into our monthly rotation!!**

One important tip: if you want your soup served hot, you need to specifically request it. I know that sounds a little strange, but otherwise it tends to arrive just warm. I also order mine spicy, which adds a nice kick without overpowering the broth. The broth itself is light, flavorful, and very tasty. I've also really enjoyed the chicken skewers, which I believe are made with chicken thighs. They're tender, flavorful, and especially good dipped in the five-spice seasoning. At $6 for two skewers, they're also a great value. After three consecutive visits, I can confidently say this place has become one of my go-to spots while I'm in Charlotte. Highly recommended.
