Best Pad See Ew in ATL

by Jillian_UTexas at Citysearch

I used to live in Austin, TX and fell in love with the dish Pad See Ew at a restaurant called Madam Mam's. Since I've been in Atlanta for 3 years, I've tried about 10 different versions of this dish and am happy to say that I have found the winner: Little Bangkok. It's almost a bad thing that it tastes so good at this place because it is SO ADDICTIVE. There is something about what they put in their food that will make you crave it.

This restaurant is a hidden gem. You would never think that behind that Cheshire Bridge hole-in-the wall facade is a fabulous restaurant. The wait staff was very quick and nice. Our meals were wonderful and hot. All-in-all we had no complaints. Granted, I've only been there once, but I will bet that it becomes a staple.

• Pros: Excellent Food, Quick Service, Cool Atmosphere, Nice Waitstaff
• Cons: Parking

Dinner parking includes the building next door. I'd say by the coziness of the restaurant it is enough to accomodate what the restaurant fits!

Once inside, a neighborhood favorite

by hoopinion at Citysearch

This particular stretch of Cheshire Bridge doesn't look like it would be home to a comfortable, friendly, family-run restaurant (and, during peak hours, you might find yourself spending a few extra moments on the outside looking in while parking or waiting for a table to open up) but once you're seated you'll settle in and (likely) enjoy your meal. Any kind of meal. The kitchen succeeds on both the Thai and the Chinese sides of the menu and can please pork aficionados (I recommend to moo shu pork) as easily as vegetarians (pad see ew with tofu). Bring a friend, steal off each other's plates, and raise a glass of plum wine to your shared good taste about what tastes good.

• Pros: breadth and depth of menu, cost
• Cons: popularity relative to size

Awesome-brought my childhood back!

by MsAdrien at Citysearch

I grew up with Thai friends who introduced me to the best Thai restaurants in Hawaii. This restaurant brought me back! The mango coconut rice dessert was perfect, just past green mango how we love it in the aina. The spring rolls and peanut sauce make my mouth water even now when I am full and satisfied. Chicken satay comes with awesome fresh cucumber dish. And they have green papaya salad!!! It's not on the menu but I asked for it, and it was awesome. They had fantastic banana lumpia for dessert. The chicken larb was strong to my cousins who I was visiting, but I liked it on my rice. They serve the yummy sticky rice too in the little basket. The Thai iced tea was good and the waithelp told me where I could shop for some. Pad see euw (Spelling?) was so good with beef and bok choy and bean sprouts. they accomodated recipes not on their menu with my desriptions for an extra dollar. And they didn't bat an eyelash when my cousin and I walked in with eight kids between us. I love to share good food with my kids and people who don't look horrified as soon as I walk in get an instant 5% extra tip from me on top of normal tip. The finished plates kept disappearing without my noticing which I always appreciate. We ordered more good stuff I just can't remember it all. Will definitely return again and again. Will show up early again as it fills up fast. Decor inside made me feel like I was back home too...

• Pros: Delicious food, cute ambience, super friendly staff!
• Cons: Didn't expect tip included although wholeheartedly paid!

MSG

by eastvillageboy at Citysearch

I was very specific, I can't have MSG. Ate here anyway- told OK.... A few hours later, came down with a migrane. Spent the whole night in the bathroom floor. Some of us can't handle MSG. These Asia restaurants need to learn- this is something serious for some of us!!!! Don't trust them, even if they say it's OK. They don't seem to care enough. Shame on them.

• Pros: Cheap Food
• Cons: Sorry Customer service, MSG used!!!

Great experience

by 66chevelle at Citysearch

My first impression wasn't much, parking was very limited. Once inside the hospitallity was incredible, service from our waiter was so pleasant, he made us feel like he wanted us there. We asked for a recommendation from him, which we went with... I had the coconut flavored soup....YUM!!!! and also the dumplings... Our entrees were the Basil steak and Panang Flounder.....Don't miss out on the Thai Tea...Awesome place and we'll be back.....

• Pros: Great service and food
• Cons: Parking

Worst Thai Food

by jtbatl at Citysearch

The Coconut soup and Nu Nan Tok was the worst I ever tasted. The soup was unlike anything I've ever tried. The Nu Nan Tok was burnt and very spicy when I had requested it mild. If you have ever eaten at Annie's Thai Castle or Surin you would see why I was disappointed. Never to return again. Wasted money and I'm still hungry?

• Pros: Absolutely no highlights
• Cons: The food is terrible

Best Thai in Atlanta

by hansm at Citysearch

I spent several months in Thailand basically eating myself into a Thai coma. I have spent years since then trying to find something that compares. Little Bangkok is my home away from home. The most authentic curries, and spicing. I feel as though I'm back in Bangkok. The lunch specials with the spicy soup are cheap and amazingly good and filling. My favorites are the Pad Thai, Panang Chicken, Tom Kha Soup, and I hear the masaman curry is fantastic. Other noodle dishes are great as well.

Awesome

by skinnyfoodlover at Citysearch

This place really is a hidden find! What a deal for lunch! You get probably the best hot and sour soup I have ever had to start, and whatever you want from the lunch menu with rice for like 6 bucks after tax! My boyfriend eats here with his co-workers a few times a week and all the waiters know them and are so friendly. The pad thai is the best in Atlanta, the panang is awesome...even though I have to say that Mali's in the Va. highlands is my favorite, and the pad see ew is great too! Very authentic flavors, not americanized like some other places in ATL. They used to serve oranges after the meal was finished, but the last few times I've been they didn't do that. The service is always super speedy at lunch too. We went once for dinner and it was still really good, but its just not as cheap, which is almost half the fun! You definitely leave here full and happy, except that everyone is right, the parking is a little bit of a challenge.

• Pros: Great food, great service, clean restaurant, great value!
• Cons: Parking can be difficult if you get there at a peak time!

Great Budget Thai! Mild To Thai Hot!

by jaymaygm at Citysearch

This little hole-in-the-wall on Cheshire Bridge, has become a well known jewel. This happens to be one of our favorite luncheon spots. Super clean and efficient, the menu offers both Thai and Chinese. Stick with the Thai. The Green Papaya Salad with Beef Jerkey, is out of this world. If it's on the menu, and you like it spicy, this is the food to get. Soups are very good also. Especially the Tom Yom, with shrimp. Here again, you can get it Thai hot. Massaman, Yellow, and Red Curries are outstanding. Budget prices, for great homestyle Thai. Parking is terrible.

• Pros: Great Prices! Very Good Thai Curries! Fast Service!
• Cons: Parking Is Awful! Go With A Group!
