Super yummy, great overall. The place is super cozy, just the right vibes if you're wanting to catch up with someone while enjoying delicious food
We love this place. The food is always delicious and the service is consistently great too. It is one of our favorite dining spots in Athens and we are greeted like family when we go.
Lovely dinner tonight with the family everything was good but the curry duck was the stand out. So delicious and crispy.
What wonderful soup! I absolutely loved it! The spring rolls were a little bit greasy so I wouldn't recommend getting more than one but they were delicious. The pad see ewe was amazing, I loved the way the carrots were sliced! I also love the overall ambiance of the restaurant!
Delicious. It's a more basic dish, but the fried rice there is incomparable to anywhere else. It's packed with flavor and is a big portion.
My chicken pad thai was fresh and delicious. I love pad thai and I eat it frequently so I am very particular about this dish. It was more on the spicier and well seasoned side instead of being too sweet which I loved. My one complaint was the price, my meal was $17.34 which is more on the pricey side for pad thai. I usually pay $14 so this was a significant increase for me. Although, the portion was large and I made this meal last for 2 days which is AMAZING as a college student. I called in my order and it was done exactly when they told me it would be done. The service was quick and efficient and the hostess at the front was kind and accommodating.
Very good! We were in Athens having dinner with our son. We didn't think about it being move in weekend for the college so there was a long wait but our son said it's not usually like that. He gets pick up and eats at the restaurant about once a week. We got the pad. There is seating at the bar as well as table seating.
Thai Spoon has great Thai food! I tried the Pad See Ew, Roasted Duck in Tamarind Sauce, and Massaman Curry. The Pad See Ew was excellent; the noodles were saucy, but the beef I added was overcooked, and I wish it had been spicier. The Roasted Duck was very crispy, but I wasn't a fan of the sauce--it was too much like sweet and sour for my taste. The Massaman Curry was really good, and I definitely want to go back and try more of their curries. However, I don't recommend the Thai tea; it was way too sweet, and I regret buying it. The prices are fair, and the portions are huge, so it's hard to finish, but I'll definitely be coming back. Although the food was great, I do have to mention that the tables are way too close to other people, which made the dining experience feel a bit cramped. Also, the restroom was not the cleanest, which was a bit disappointing.
Even though it took longer for our takeout order to be ready, it was worth the wait. Food was piping hot and Thai Spicy Noodles with steamed tofu super delicious! We also had pad-see-ew, fried rice and pad Thai, which were good but Thai Spicy Noodles was the winner! Now to what can be improved - food was in styrofoam containers and no foil on the bottom separating hot food from styrofoam! Also, wish they can substitute vegetables - we asked for no carrots, no cabbage, no green onions in fried rice and asked to substitute with broccoli. They said they don't allow substitutions and charged extra $2 for the broccoli. Street parking was also hard to find(spent 15 min circling around till we found parking nearby). Other than this, would go back just for the Thai Spicy Noodles!
The restaurant was clean and had a comfortable vibe. The service was quick and the lunch combo proved to be more than enough food. The black tea was standard but was nice for the colder weather outside. The Tom yum soup was delicious and had a more tart taste. Next time I would probably request it to be spicier. The egg roll was standard but added nice change of texture to the meal. The corn patties were delicious and paired very well with the plum sauce. I had never seen this on a typical thai menu so it was nice to try something new. The ma mussamun curry was in the sweeter side and only had chicken with no vegetables. I had also never seen avocado accompanied with the curry. In my opinion it didn't pair well with the meal and kind of threw off the flavor for me. I would definitely come back and probably try something other than the curry.
