The Theo Thai Bistro

I had the pleasure of eat at this Thai and Vietnamese restaurant, and it was absolutely delicious. The food was spectacular, with authentic, fresh flavors and perfectly balanced dishes. Each plate was beautifully presented, and best of all the portions were generous!

The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for flavorful food and a pleasant dining experience. Don’t miss out on this small but incredible gem! ❤️❤️🍜

Order for delivery. Food portions are very small for a dinner price/set. The flavor is decent. Very different from the typical Thai cuisine. Tom Yum soup while generous in the chicken portions the broth was very sweet. The color doesn't match the flavor or heat I expected from it. They definitely go light on the use of lemon grass which was a bit disappointing. The biggest scam was the crab fried rice, they might as well call it egg fried rice because they put small pieces of crab into egg and add that as a topping to the fried rice. $25 dollars for 5 parts egg 1/2 part crab doesn't make sense.

This place is so cute and welcoming! The staff is amazing and friendly, the seating is cozy, and the food is great! I would recommend for a family dinner or a get-together. The drunken noodles and fried rice were delicious and flavorful. One of my favorite halal thai spots.

An absolute gem of a family-owned Thai restaurant! Leon and his family have created something truly special named after their son Theo, making every guest feel like they’ve been welcomed into their home for a meal.

Grandma was cooking up a storm in the open see through kitchen. The food came out so quickly. We started off with the chicken wings—perfectly crispy and packed with flavor. Then came the Kanom Jean Green Curry, which was rich, fragrant, and full of depth. The drunken noodles had just the right balance of spice and savoriness. We ordered medium and my spice tolerance is so low but it was delicious. Finally we finished off with the beef basil, which was incredibly flavorful and satisfying.

Every dish was cooked with care, and the warm, welcoming atmosphere made the experience even better. Can’t wait to come back!

I’ve been frequenting the Theo Thai Bistro for the past few months and they have been great every time! I usually order my food to go, and it is always ready in a short amount of time.

The Chicken Pad Thai and Thai Iced Tea are very yummy, and they are always very accommodating of my food allergies. Would highly recommend!

Theo Thai Bistro

Don Chingri Restaurant

Atmosphere was nice. Food was mid lacking Thai spices, flavor and aromatic elements which made it bland. Most dishes were just extremely salty, over fried and greasy. I did have good service and thought the prefix price was very fairly priced just the food was okay. We had drunken noodles, wings, vegi spring rolls, and dumpling soups. The fried banana and Thai iced teas were good.

I would recommend. Great service and attention to care. When I came in I was greeted by Alex. As a first timer I did not know the store was not open yet. But they were nice and took my order. Alex was nice and explained the menu with a great spirit. The chef was accommodate my request for my meal. I had a wonderful customer experience as a first timer and will swing by again if I’m ever in the neighborhood.

Now about the food. We’ll seasoned. Fresh and hot. I like the spring roll sauce for dipping pairs well. The drunken noodles I got it spicy and swapped the Chinese broccoli for regular broccoli. I thought I wouldn’t be full but once I started eating I was stuffed! I will stop by again.

The server (Miriam) who seated us was so kind! The atmosphere is very calming in here. The spring rolls were delicious, however the rest of the food was mediocre. The chicken strips were bland. The chicken lollipop’s sauce was amazing. The salmon and the lamb were good but not worth a drive out for. The mocktails were extremely sour so I had to keep asking for a change. The green curry was not my favorite. The rice were bland as well. If you happen to be in the neighborhood then def try them out.

I’m giving this rating mostly for the service, it was good I could give 4 start but the food wasn’t that level. We order Atlantic salmon  , Tiger shrimp, as appetizers fish cake and dumpling soup. Both main courses had over flavor as my opinion and the fish cake seems like didn’t had flavor. I couldn’t taste. I might go back to try different item .

Tl;dr: it’s okay, service is mediocre, menu descriptions incorrect, skimpy on protein. Flavors were good and the place is very clean!

I was the only patron today for lunch at 1 pm. I was greeted promptly by the server, who was a younger woman and was very sweet. I was attracted by the sign outside advertising their $10.95 lunch special (+$ for protein).
The restaurant is nicely decorated and it is clean, even the restrooms and the peak-through of the kitchen on the way to the restrooms.
I was given the dinner menu and drink specials, but it was 1 pm and time for lunch. After requesting the lunch menu it was provided and I ordered Spicy Basil with Shrimp. Described as “Spicy Basil.
Bell peppers, onions, chopped garlic. Thai basil, string beans. chili pepper, in a homemade brown sauce with your choice of protein served with jasmine rice”

With your lunch you also chose from with 2 Spring Rolls or 1 Curry Puff. I went with the spring rolls and they were the highlight of the meal! Yum - well fried, with vermicelli inside that provided a nice bite. 😁

Although i ordered one dish I received another. I was given Spicy Basil Fried Rice with three small shrimp 🙁. Fortunately I was debating between these two dishes and maybe it was a sign that I needed more sustenance. The food was good, not very spicy and was overall balanced. I’d eat it again. My biggest issue is with the meager protein- i was charged $1/shrimp for some small pieces, disappointing.

When I spoke to the server she was very apologetic- she was so sweet. It was an honest mistake - nbd. As a peace offering she gave me a free dessert - fried bananas. They were filled with cinnamon, stuffed in a wrapper, fried and covered in honey. Yum 😋

We are a Zabiha halal certified restaurant.

Thai Nara

I had the chance to try the beef noodles here. Although the noodles weren’t listed on the menu, I saw a photo and decided to give them a try — and I’m glad I did! The noodles came with a generous mix of vegetables, and they used two types of noodles with different sizes and textures. The beef was tender and flavorful and u can choose spicy levels.The dumplings were also delicious. The restaurant is not very spacious, but it’s clean and neatly arranged. The service was excellent as well.

I come here every week so it has become a tradition for me. The food is always delicious! They care about every little detail or request one might have. Nadia, the host is so helpful and sweet.
AMAZING food AMAZING SERVICE.

Thai Nara is a nice restaurant with lots of Thai food to choose from. The taste is just like what you get in Thailand. It’s halal, so many Muslim people feel comfortable eating here. The prices are reasonable, and it’s close to the metro, so it’s easy to get to. You should try Thai Fried Rice.

Calm and authentic. Location is very convenient close to subway and bus station. Foods are amazingly delicious

Small business but taste like homemade authentic thai food. Halal and feel so clean and made with love. Everything we ordered was delicious🥰

SkyIce Thai Food & Ice Cream

Great service, fantastic food, delicious dessert. Had the dinner tray - meat was like a mini skirt steak -- larb noodle, larb wonton, and chicken satay. Excellent value for the portions. The ice cream lives up to the hype; thai tea, thai coffee, thai coconut, raspberry cilantro and salted caramel absolutely deliver.  👌

This place easily became one of my favorite spots now. Not only the food is awesome, but they also have a large variety of deserts and their own exquisite flavors of ice cream. No pictures of the ice cream, but I tried Black Sesame Seaweed and Durian and was pleasantly surprised. The staff is very nice and caring. It’s a very low key small cafe with great vibes. Great for both - a meal and a dessert adventure.

There are tastier Thai restaurants in the city, but no one can out beat their ice cream. If they can tune away from the common American tongue for improving the herbal and fish sauce flavors in their Thai dishes, this restaurant would be perfect.

the ice cream here is banging the only real reason to come and highly recommended by other friends for the same reason and now I understand it. it is goat had the 12-piece sampler and it was like an omicote experience. otherwise, the food included a trio of curries, a dinner sampler, roti chicken wrap which were decent and the most delicious to me was the masaman curry. otherwise the ice creams where it's at

Stopped by for ice cream after dinner and we tried  the 5 flavor sampler: Matcha, Ube, Black Sesame, Lychee Rose, & Thai tea. The Thai tea flavor was my favorite, very rich in flavor and so yummy. Will be back for the 12 scoop sampler :)

All 100% Halal. Ice cream is gelatine free.

Love Mama

I’ve had this place bookmarked for quite some time and really wanted to love it. The service was friendly and the food was ok, but mostly too sweet for my taste. The best bites were the appetizers. We ordered the roti canai and the calamari, both on point. The entrees: mee goreng, curry laksa, and fried fish filet were all too sweet. Glad I tried it, but probably wouldn’t return.

I went with my baby and we had a really good time. Waiters were really kind and food went fast. It was tasty and good portion, what I like most was the Thai tea, great for a summer day!! I’ll be back definitely 👍🏻

One of the best curry laksa I’ve ever had, the lunch set is $13.99 including a drink. I knew this place was gonna be good once I saw a young Asian child doing homework by the cashier. The service was quick and attentive.

Hidden gem! Absolutely superb. The food was delicious, staff were extremely friendly and attentive. We will be back again very soon!! Pictures of the papaya salad and roti attached.

We came here as a party of 3 around 3:30pm for a very late lunch. Probably because of the awkward meal timing, the restaurant was empty other than 1 other patron. It did seem like a popular take out place based on the number of people we saw walk in and out with their orders. Sidenote: we went in the middle of August and it was VERY hot inside.

Our food came out very quickly and were all delicious. This definitely isn't a fancy sit down place. They take your order, bring out your food, you eat, pay, and leave. But importantly, the food is delicious. For a quick stop and go meal, it was perfect for us. My vegetarin friend had no difficulty finding something to eat.

The owners of this restaurant are Muslim and have confirmed its halal status. Only the chicken is reported to be halal by the Muslim owner.

52-seat eatery, which encompasses a variety of southeastern Asian cuisine. The menu features Malaysian favorites including Penang Assam Laksa, a spicy fish soup, as well as new creations like curried satay-stuffed rolls.

Rasa

Casual and busy, Rasa had a solid bowl of curry laksa. Good flavor overall and served quickly, but not mind-blowing. I would return to try other dishes.

It was busy on a weeknight with a youthful vibe. Service was efficient and friendly.

Went here for lunch. Service was excellent and we has the assam laksa, sambal petai udang and nasi lemak chicken curry. All was good and tasty. We also had onde onde for dessert and was given complimentary small cups of teh tarik which was very appreciated. Recommend to come here.

It was our first time trying Malaysian food and it didn’t disappoint. We started with an appetizer platter which came with 2 chicken satays, 2 tofu puffs and 2 curry puffs. Very flavorful. Satay sauce was a little too sweet. Then we got mee goreng and nasi lemak with chicken curry. Very different, came with fried anchovies, coconut rice, papad, curry chicken , cucumbers and fried peanuts. The noodles were nice and spicy served with a hot sauce. The service was excellent. Quick and friendly.

Service was excellent but dishes were hit or miss. Chicken satay and mee goreng were excellent. Beef rendang was solid and lemongrass chicken was bland / not very good. Overall though good value for the price and was easy to get a table for 6 people without a reservation

Solid Malaysian food, and they’re good at recommending dishes. I had the nati and the chicken on the stick appetizer that I forget the name of. I really enjoyed it and my friends liked their foods too.

Relaxed option for traditional Thai cooking with full bar amid bare tables & funky artwork.

Top Thai Greenwich

Awesome spot. Food was incredible and staff were very welcoming and nice. Felt this pressure to finish the food fast and get out because line was long during peak hours and they wanted to get them in fast. Staff would routinely check on us to make sure we were eating and take bowls/plates/utensils as soon as we finished them to clear them off the table to help for cleanup. If you want to come here for a date and want to sit around and relax or have tea or dessert I would go elsewhere because this is more of a have your food and get out type of spot.

Foods are excellant. Fried squid is so crispy and tender inside, roti and steaks are good too. The red snapper is highly recommended! The duck curry is also well demonstrated, with crispy skin and tender inside.
Drinks suck. It was happy hour, and we ordered two cocktails. They were too plain, and barely tasted any alcohol.
Services suck. Very noisy environment.

Good food, good spot for groups around 2-4 but no more than that. It’s a small space and can be cramped. Staff were nice, but I was a bit uncomfortable with one of the staff members hovering around my table. Drinks were average, I didn’t particularly like the lemon tea.

Heard about this halal thai spot on social media and decided to check it out! I had to place a reservation in the morning for 7:30 at night and arrived just a little early to be safe. The atmosphere was amazing yet just a little tight. No problem for a small group enough space to eat in peace. The Chicken pad thai and Spicy fried rice was great! I also had the tom kha soup which was nice on a cold night. The wait time was reasonably quick and I enjoyed my experience

I love Top Thai and wanted to hit up Greenwich. The space is limited, however, service is amazing. They are very sweet. I got the crab rangoon for appetizers, chicken basil friend rice, lemonade and lava cake with ice cream as dessert. The taste of each dish was just as amazing as the presentation. Will go back again!!
