Thai Nola

I went with a friend, when we first walked in, it was really loud and rowdy. We were greeted right away and were seated. The tables were somewhat sticky. We went on a Saturday for the gumbo ramen, which was decent. The portions are really big for it being 22.95. Service was really good and the waiters are very attentive. My only complaint was the noise level and cleanliness of the place.

My girls and I are visiting from Texas, and Thai NOLA came highly recommended. It absolutely exceeded our expectations! The food was incredible, the portions were huge, and the prices were very affordable. …

My first experience at Thai Nola was definitely a mixed one. The food was really good, but unfortunately the customer service experience had several hiccups that made the visit much more frustrating than it needed to be. When I first walked in, it took about five minutes before anyone acknowledged me. Once a waitress finally came over, I explained that I was placing an order to go, so I headed over to the bar area. The bartender greeted me and things started off pretty smoothly until he informed me that all of the cooks had just gone to lunch and it would be about a 20 minute wait before they could even take my order. Normally I probably would've gone somewhere else, but it was getting later in the day and several of the other restaurants in the neighborhood were getting close to closing, so I decided to wait. Once the cooks returned, he took my order, but then I was told their credit card machine was down and they were only accepting cash or Zelle. Luckily, I had cash, so that wasn't a huge problem. However, after paying, I noticed I was shorted about 86 cents in change. When I asked about it, I was told they didn't have any change available. It wasn't enough money for me to make a big deal about, so I just let it go, but it was still another small inconvenience added to the experience. I waited another 20 minutes or so and started noticing food coming out of the kitchen. The bartender brought several to-go orders out and placed them on the counter. After another 10 minutes passed, I finally started wondering where my food was. One of the hostesses asked for my name, checked through the orders sitting on the counter, and sure enough my order had already been sitting there 😒 At that point, I was definitely frustrated. It honestly felt like everything that could've gone wrong during my first visit somehow did. Once I got home and finally sat down to eat, I thoroughly enjoyed my meal. The quality of the food made me understand why people enjoy this place, and I would definitely be willing to give Thai Nola another try. I just really hope my next visit comes with a smoother customer service experience because the food deserves better.

Warm atmosphere and great food. We enjoyed every dish from the steamed dumplings and crab rangoon - loved that tasty hint of ginger - to the day's special (Okra & catfish w/ sweet conbread), the Crab fried rice and soup.

The food is the best Thai food I have ever had. Large portions. I love the music playlist and the family environment. Customer service 20/10. I will visit every time I am in New Orleans. I highly recommend.
