User Reviews for Thai Diner

I'm not a fan of Thai food, however Thai Diner makes it not only editable but down right delicious. This is the only place I will eat Thai food. I usually get either the Thai pepper stake or the fried rice. However every item I've tried is excellent. One warning...There are three levels of hotness -- medium, American Hot, and Thai Hot (there is also a secret extra Thai hot but you have to order in Thai to get that). I can tolerate BW3's blazing wings, but the Thai Hot is well hotter than blazing wings. It is also a sneaky kind of hot. BW3's will whack you immediately. However these dishes at Thai diner, kinda build slowly until it is too late. I'd suggest most people get American hot or medium. Only on the 2nd or third visit should you try the Thai hot. Service is excellent. I didn't think it was possible any more for a restaurant to maintain excellent fast service on a regular basis. However by time you've unfolded your napkin, your food is starting to arrive at the table. Before you've finished your salad, your main course has arrived. This is true morning, noon, or night, weekday or weekend. This place is absolutely awesome. If you're hungry and within driving distance of this place, this is the only place to go!
Pros: Excellent food
Cons: none

Food is just okay, service is awful, found a fruit fly in my thai ice tea, saw the cook picking his nose as I walked out the door, seating is terrible.
Cons: seating, service

We have eaten and Thai Diner several times and have always found it to be very good. They have excellent noodle dishes (Pad See Ew, Pad Thai, Spicy Noodles) as well as good Penang Curries. The appetizers are also good. The atmosphere is not bad and they have Singh-Ha Thai beer as well. How can you go wrong? I have eaten at some other Thai restaurants in town (Beauregards, Thai garden) and this one is the best so far.
Pros: Great Food, Plenty of Parking, Good Prices
Cons: Average Ambience

Thai Diner is such a treat for me. The place is so chill, and the food is fabulous. I love the curries and coconut milk. Everything I've tried, I've greatly enjoyed!

I've been to all the Thai places in Richmond--this was my first and remains my favorite. Delicious food, prepared to your spice tolerance, and fast, courteous service. Prices are reasonable. They have two dining rooms, so if you have a big group, you can reserve the back room. Atmosphere isn't all that--it's an old High's ice cream parlor, and it still has the pink booths--but I've always found the best food in dives so I don't pay too much attention to the looks of a place. I'm a regular here.
Pros: great food, inexpensive, great service
Cons: no real ambience
