The Patio Thai - Richmond

Very cute restaurant. I got the drunken noodles with tofu which I felt was too sweet. The spring rolls were good though. I’ll go back to try a different dish.Food: 3/5

The service was very friendly and the food came out quick. Large portion sizes and they do not skimp on the meat. Took one star off because the pad thai and duck curry was a little too sweet and all the dishes lacked Thai basil so it wasn’t as fragrant. Overall the food is delicious and I would come back again.

Checked out The Patio Thai on Saturday and the ambience was wonderful. Outdoor patio was very relaxing and felt like someone’s backyard. Cozy spot, especially for a date.We had the fried tofu, kapow chicken fried rice, fried spring rolls, and tofu red curry. For drinks, we had the pomargerita and the lychee martini.The kapow chicken fried rice was very tasty, hints of anise, lemongrass, and fresh herbs. It had a great flavor, but wasn’t very spicy.The Thai red curry was robust and full of the classic curry flavor.The drinks were delicious, sweet and well-balanced.For appetizers, the fried tofu was okay, but I’m not a fan of tofu. The friend I went with who doesn’t eat meat thought it was delicious, thoughThe spring rolls were good, but nothing special. They are what you expect of a good spring roll.Overall, I was very pleased with the meal- about $100 for drinks, apps, and meals for 2 people, with leftovers. 4/5 stars.

The Gyoza and Egg Roll appetizers were definitely the stars of the show. The food came out impressively fast however staff service was a little slow. Staff were very friendly and helpful! We got the Chicken Pad Thai and it was good but nothing overly impressive. Factoring in ambiance, food, and service I'd give this a 4 out of 5. Will definitely return to try the rest of the menu.

My goto thai place in RVA. their outdoor patio seating is spacious and beautiful. portion sizing for food is plentiful and worth the money
