The Service was outstanding and so was the food--only 1 concern was the chicken was a little dry & chewy in the Pad Tai..otherwise all of the dishes were more than satisfactory. THE BEEF WAS ALSO A LITTLE CHEWY ALSO, BUT NOT AS BAD AS CHEWY CHICKEN, PERHAPS over cooked...The Tom yum soup was excellent. The menu has an arry of choices and very reasonably priced...The pineapple rice was served fresh & hot, as were all the main entrees..The staff were all very professional and friendly, excellent service..checked on you if needed anything, refill your tea, asked u how was your selection...I would highly recommend this little hidden gem on La. HWY 21 ,JUST OFF THE ROAD IN A STRIP MALL...PLEASE STOP IN FOR A POSITIVE DINNING EXPERIENCE, YOU WILL BE SO GLAD YOU DID..THE PORTIONS ARE LARGE, SO PLAN ON TAKUNG SOME HOME...LOL
The food was so good! Husband and I got drunken noodles and pad woon sen which were very similar (because I got glass noodles instead of the flat rice noodles it comes with) but with different sauces. Also got an order of the crispy spring rolls and they were delicious. All of the food was delicious and made with fresh ingredients. Our 2 little boys were very welcome and we can't wait to go back!
Dinner at The Charm was delicious. We had Thai tea, Tom Kha soup, Green papaya salad, Red curry with chicken and Shrimp and vegetable stir fry. Everything was flavorful and fresh. Lots of good vegetables in all the dishes.
I'm not even done eating yet and I'm giving this place 5 stars. The aesthetic is on point, the staff is very friendly, and the spring rolls are amazing. I would fist fight God for whatever recipe they're using for the peanut sauce and plum sauce.
Dumplings 👌👌💯 with an equally wonderful sauce.
I'll reserve my final critique for after the entrees, but I am very hopeful.
UPDATE:
The tom yum soup with chicken was amaaaazing. Savory and sour just like I hoped. All the ingredients were so fresh! The onion was still crisp enough to have a little bite, and the tomato was soft but still flavorful and tart.
The pad Thai was very good. Filled with savory and slightly sweet flavor, and not too wet or saucy - a more traditional and much welcomed Thai preparation. The peanut and lime complemented the flavor profile very well. All the ingredients were just as fresh as everything else. You can really tell this food was expertly made to order.
I haven't had Thai food this good since that guy in Covington went to jail and his restaurant got shut down a decade ago.
Five stars! Y'all come eat here.
Great new place to get excellent Thai food. The owners ( husband and wife) are incredibly polite and helpful with the menu. The chef had a restaurant in Thailand for many many years and is an amazing older lady... she’s also the owner’s Mom! You definitely need to get by this place and get some good spicy Thai! It’s my new “go to” for Thai on the Northshore!
