Tofu Tip Fried Rice
Kendall C.

Ate here for dinner one evening and it was entirely empty when we showed up, which meant the service was attentive! I ordered the Tip fried rice with tofu and it was good but lacking a little bit of flavor so I asked for a side of peanut sauce (there were two types but I can't remember which one I got) and it made all the difference, the sauce was amazing and paired well with the food. My husband enjoyed his meal and we both decided we will happily return!

Beef Pad see ew
Margy C.

Decent pad see ew with beef as my protein. Ordered online with no option to pay unless in-person. It was a good portion that I left a small amount because I was getting very full. Order was ready at requested pick up time.

Chicken Pad Thai

Came with my family during lunch which specials run till 3:00, you also get a spring roll with your meal. The restaurant itself seems a little dark and could use some natural lighting but plenty of seating and very spacious. Our serves was very nice and opened the door for us upon us entering the restaurant which was very nice. We ordered a Thai ice tea but it was extremely sweet, thankfully she gave us an extra cup of tea to downplay the sweetness. We got the papaya salad, pad Thai, drunken noodles, and a chicken curry. Our food came or very fast and portions were generous. The papaya was very refreshing and had the perfect amount of fish sauce tartness and chili spice. Very refreshing and a definite must when you come here. If you don't like spicy food please review the menu. When they say Thai hot they are not messin around! My mom who is Vietnamese loves the spice and she even said it was hot!

Only open for pick up and delivery at this time. Everything was prepared exactly as ordered. My daughter, who has never had Thai food before really liked the coven chicken pineapple fried rice. And I love the mango sticky rice.

Shrimp Cracker - Most awesome salad in Richmond!!
Victoria W.

Tip Thai restaurant has done something my mother was never successful in doing - getting me to eat raw onions and fresh peas. I will explain. I have pictured my Trifecta of Lunch - perfection! First is the Shrimp Cracker! A delightful salad placed in a fried wonton wrapper bowl, inside is a blend of little fried shrimp dipped in Thai chili sauce sitting on a bed of lettuce, thinly slice purple onion, cucumbers and slivers of carrots with I believe may be a thin Thai chili dressing. This salad is a little spicy - to me just right and everything goes so very well together I'm eating the raw onions instead of trying to pick them out! If getting delivery or pickup take time to smell the paper bag this salad comes in - people probably think I'm huffing paint but naw just shrimp cracker!! Next is the Cheese Rangoons. Delicate wontons filled with minced corn and carrots, cream cheese and fresh peas. As I mentioned earlier I don't like peas but when it come to this ragoon I careful bite so the pea breaks open with the filling - the taste is perfect just perfect! Last but not least of the trifecta is the Tom Kha Gai Soup. The salty, sour, creamy soup with chicken and chunks of mushrooms is what describes comfort. It feels like a big cuddle bear picked me up and gave me the best hug!! Ok maybe that's a bit exaggerated but it is really really good. I'd also like to give a shot out to their mango curry that I had the other night. OH MY GOODNESS - that red curry rocked the mangoes. If you are a fan of mangoes and spicy curry this is the dish for you.

Everything came out fresh and cooked to perfection. Our server was friendly, attentive, and genuinely funny, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The service was impressively fast without feeling rushed. The outdoor dining area was beautiful and created such a romantic atmosphere--perfect for a relaxing dinner. And the best part? The prices were great for the quality and amount of food you get. Great food, great service, great atmosphere, and a great price. We'll definitely be coming back the next time we visit Richmond VA!

Once we shifted focus to the food, things definitely improved. We ordered three dishes to feed our group of two adults and three kids, and we even walked away with leftovers for a total bill of $67: Drunken Noodles with Beef (6/10): Solid flavors, though nothing groundbreaking. Chicken Pad Thai (6/10): Decent portion, but middle-of-the-road execution. Lamb Massaman Curry (10/10): An absolute standout that completely redeemed the meal. Despite the staffing hiccups, the food quality and value are enough to bring us back. Hopefully, they'll have their crew sorted out by our next visit to bring back the charm we usually expect from this spot.

Parking is available on the side, or you can usually find street parking nearby. I really liked the industrial atmosphere, especially the swings, but we ended up sitting closer to the bar area. Our server was super nice, and the service was quick throughout the meal. FOOD REVIEW Sabai Platter - 3/5 Not bad for shareable during happy hour, but some of the items were just okay. Pad Thai - 4/5 The flavors and spice level were balanced really well. Pla Muk Tod (Calamari) - 4/5 Good overall, but I wasn't a big fan of the dipping sauce. Pik Gai Tod (Wings) - 4/5 Flavorful and really good. Moo Sam Chan (Fried Pork Belly) - 4/5 Tasty and flavorful, though a little over-sauced for my preference. DRINK REVIEW Thai Tea - 5/5 Refreshing and enjoyable. Thai Mojito - 5/5 Really good and refreshing as well. Overall, good food, great drinks, and friendly service.

We had to chase down waiters to order anything, everything didn't come out the same time, and zero hospitality. Fast forward now to last week. A group of 9 of us come in for our wedding weekend and they thought we had 8 people not 9. They try to seat us on the swinging seats which can't even fit our 8 people. NOT ONCE did they try to help us, move us, offer to do ANYTHING. They literally stared at us not saying a word. We asked if we could have two tables, no. Have a stool to add, no. Wait for a larger table outside, no. Just absolutely the worst hospitality or lack there of I have ever had. This place has had issues with staff for years. Unfortunately it's now costing them consistent customers as we are not the only ones this has happened to. We ended up leaving and going to another Thai restaurant. If you want to be ignored and stared at with dead fish eyes this is the place for you.

None of us had been before and I'll never pass up Thai food. We got the massaman curry while splitting the veggie gyoza with one of the kids and summer rolls with everyone. Also, I tried multiple bites of the red curry from one kid and from the other a tofu noodle. All in all, I'd say: sure, it's ok. I think they have good southeast Asian food, and okay Thai food. The curry was heavy on liquid and not as much on protein and veg. The gyoza were covered in dried garlic, which left little chance for any other flavors to come through, and what was there was mild. The summer rolls were super-sized and tasty for sure, probably the best of what we had IMO. The crispy tofu noodle was middle of the road. I am not against any of this food, but much of it came up short. The service was good in some cases with quick attention at first and diminishing from there. Prices are good all around and we had no problems getting in on a Wednesday. She Said: I don't have anything to add to what he said except that the Pinot Noir on offer is quite nice. Potty Points: No trip to the potty for me, but my son was enthralled by the new-to-him approach to a bidet!

She added chicken to her ramen, but unfortunately, it seemed either overcooked or processed. However, the staff handled the issue well and removed it from our bill, which we truly appreciated.

My waitress Kat was very nice and helpful, even patient with me since it was my first time. I already had in mind what I wanted to order, but she was eager to jump in and help me with recommendations if I needed it. I started with some chicken gyoza which was really good and the tangy sauce was very flavorful. Not even 3 minutes after receiving it, I got my main entree which was the scallion chicken and fried rice which was absolutely incredible! The sauce was very sweet with a bit of spice thanks to the peppers in the veggie mix. I heard that this place is known for its ramen so I'll definitely return to try that!
