    About the Business

    The best Thai restaurant especially for Thai food lovers, located in the downtown of Chattanooga market street. We serve FRESH cook meal for both lunch and dinner. We not only pay attention to how a dish tastes: we are also concerned about how it looks, how it smells, and how it fits in with the rest of the meal. We think of all parts of the meal as a whole.…

      It was my first time there. Was a little bit nervous bc of the low star rating and OMG!!! My mind was blown away. If I could give more stars I would! The food is absolutely amazing, the flavor is amazing , everything is so fresh. We waited average time for our food but nothing too crazy. I visited with my husband and daughter, got 3 diff plates. THEY WERE ALL DELICIOUS!! Please give them a try. Ambience is super chill. Rest rooms are super clean and to me that SPEAKS a lot.

      It has been on my list to try... always looking for a better thai place in the area. This is not it.

      Sweet tea had that pink mold flavor... if your ever cleaned sweet tea spigot containers as a waitress... you know that flavor. My kid said it tasted weird... and I am pretty sure it was that soured spigot sludgy slime.
      Thai tea was fine thank Buddha!!

      We got the sampler platter. 4 Fried potstickers, 6? shrimp, 2 spring rolls, and 8 fried tofu. All meh- potstickers tasted like the non airfryable dough ones. Spring rolls tasted like they had fermented cabbage (like sauerkraut) in them?? Shrimp good. Tofu is um... well... never my favorite... and this time wasn't changing that opinion.

      Also had crab rangoon appetizer. Again very hard dough overcooked... like the no airfryer freezer food that are a fail in my home. Not restaurant quality at all! Think dough is the worst crab rangoon fail I have ever had.


      Beef and basil to go for my hubby was good. So... I guess... SKIP appetizers... which are usually my favorite.

      60$ plus the 12 tip. 72$ Ouch for lackluster dining.

      RAIN and Thai Basil are still our favorite in Chattanooga... but no Thai here is rivaling what we had in Alaska.
      Shame.

      Came here for lunch on a Friday and the waiter waved for us to sit anywhere. We sat and waited for a while and he finally came by and dropped off menus and said I'll be back when I can. No drink orders no anything. We sat for a while more and finally gave up and left. Very disappointed in the way they handled us. If you are busy come tell guests something instead of just leaving us there hot, thirsty and hungry. We didn't know if we would be there 10 more minutes or an hour.

      I had the opportunity to go with a friend visiting town. We were able to be seated right away. There were a few people inside. The server brought us menus and took our drink order immediately. Since I love Thai food I knew what I wanted to try.
      I ordered spring rolls, crab Rangoon, and kaprow chicken with minced chicken light peppers. I also ordered a Thai tea. Overall the food was really good. The only challenge was about half my plate was onions which I mentioned to the staff. It was really flavorful however. I didn't need soy or any other sauce.

      I would definitely return and try a few other items on the menu. The staff was friendly. There was street and lot parking near by. There wasn't a long wait for the food.

      Me and my buddies came in craving Thai food. I'm Thai, and was a bit confused to Chinese music playing in the background. Nothing wrong with Chinese music, I was just expecting Thai culture at a Thai spot.

      The waitress seemed stressed out, and was the only worker on the floor. Made me feel like we were inconveniencing her by being there for lunch.

      The food was ok. We ordered calamari, and fried tofu for appetizers. It was dry and bleh.. ordered pad Thai, red curry, and lad na it was alright. Would I recommend this place? Not really because it was just ok.

      This place should be called Thai Frown. They have the poor server working the whole restaurant by himself. He was clearly done with the day halfway through the lunch hour. Never a good sign when they drop off the menus say "I'll be with you as soon as I can".

      No clue about the food. We had our name on a neighboring restaurant's waitlist and our table was ready before we even got a drink.

      Crystal the server was wonderful! Obviously patience is key for anything good in life, but this was GREAT! Food came out hot. The chicken satay was divine and the papaya salad was exactly what I wanted!!! The chicken pad Thai was phenomenal! I would absolutely recommend to anyone who wants something new and different! And the location is so close to the Aquarium downtown! Short walk and cute interior. Absolutely love this place! I will be eating here again!!!

      The service here was pretty good. I felt that our server did a great job. We walked in and got seated right away. It wasn't packed at all and we came during lunch on a weekend. I think there was only one other table in there.

      The prices here are a little higher than what I'm used to. The lad na talay had a really good sauce going to it. The thickness for the gravy was also perfect. The taste was pretty good. They didn't really have the usual condiments or anything though that you would usually get at other Thai restaurants to put into your ladna. The noodles here were also thin noodles. The type you get in pho soup. I've usually had my ladna with thicker noodles than this.

      I also had their pla tod (fried fish). It was a piece of fish filet for $17.99 on top of some iceberg lettuce. It also came with a side of rice. The sauce on the side wasn't bad at all, though. The sauce tastes similar to their ladna sauce.

      Service was good. They only have one option for vegan/vegetarians: Pad Thai. It was really good, but they had to remake it because it had egg the first time. We also got spring rolls and golden tofu for appetizers. Hard pass on the golden tofu.
