Charleston-Thailicious 2 Dorchester Thai Street Food & Sushi 🍜🍣

A highly-rated Thai restaurant in Charleston that recently added sushi to its menu! We ordered the Papaya Salad, Red Curry, and Duck Noodle Soup. The owner warmly recommended Thai iced tea, but we skipped it due to its usual sweetness. During the wait, the sushi chef surprised us with a complimentary plate of marinated tuna slices topped with fried garlic and scallions — a "Christmas gift"! 🎁🐟 The combination of tender fish, crispy garlic, and mild onion was unforgettable. The Papaya Salad (mild spice level) was still fiery but delicious — balanced fish sauce flavor and grilled shrimp added a sweet touch. When we mentioned the heat, the owner apologized and gifted us two Thai iced teas. She revealed her secret: 7 tea bags brewed for over an hour (vs. the usual 3)! The result was rich tea flavor without overwhelming sweetness. ☕💖 We also loved: Red Curry with Beef: Fragrant, tender beef paired perfectly with rice. 🍛 Duck Noodle Soup: Pho-style noodles in savory broth with firm duck meat. 🦆 This meal melted our travel fatigue away — no wonder it has 4.9 stars on Google Maps! 🌟 #CharlestonEats #ThaiFood #HiddenGem #FoodReview #SpicyLovers #SouthernThailand 🥢🌶️
