Thai Thai Takeout — Restaurant in Charlotte

Thai Thai was recommended to us by multiple friends and, after moving to the Dilworth area, we decided there was no better time to walk over and try it out. We frequent Basil and Thai Taste for casual Thai comfort food and thought that this would be a great, walkable addition to our repertoire.

The menu is large with options for customization on almost all dishes and the prices are considerably less than most other local Thai restaurants, which made sense to us since it is takeout-only. We decided to start with the Shrimp Rolls which were basically shrimp wrapped in egg roll wrappers and fried (as described on the menu). They were flavorful for a basic dish and the accompanying chili sauce was delicious. We followed the shrimp rolls with Pad Thai--a classic favorite of ours that both Basil and Thai Taste make very well. The portions lived up to the hype from our friends, big enough to make 2+ meals out of--which is a great deal for around $11. Despite the large portion sizes for a low price, the flavor and spice were lacking.

We ordered one chicken and one shrimp pad thai, both at a 3-level spice (on a scale of 1-5). The spice was lacking...it almost tasted as though no spice was added at all. The sauce was very runny and bland, there was little to no flavor in it and the chopped peanuts were thrown on top added zero to the dish whereas they typically add some additional flavor.

The staff at the restaurant was very friendly, but disorganized--they weren't sure of what went in our order when we arrived for pickup as a result of not asking for a name when we called it in. We plan to try Thai Thai again and choose some alternate dishes in the future to see if we can have any luck since this restaurant is so close but we certainly will not be running back, especially with other Thai options within a 5...

I just ate the most disgusting "Thai food" I've ever had. I never write reviews, but felt compelled to write one, sense this place has so many good reviews. I ordered the Pud See Ew (I thought it was Pad, but I'm not from Thailand so what do I know), which had soy sauce literally floating in the bottom of the to go bag, yet somehow required salt and pepper to have any flavor whatsoever (not sure how that's possible 🤔). I didn't even eat the egg that was in it, as it was the most questionable looking egg I've ever seen. I also ordered the "fresh spring rolls," which were not even edible... tried to make them work with the peanut sauce that they came with, but that tasted like... hmm let me think... perfume, yep perfume. They didn't have their sanitation grade posted anywhere which made me suspicious, and lastly, their prices aren't updated online (no biggie), but I paid $3 more for the Pud/Pad See Ew and a $1 more for the rolls, than what was posted online. I wouldn't care about the money if the food wasn't so gross....

I’m really disappointed in the decline behind this restaurant. They just changed management and started gouging on their prices. Thai Thai was always my go to hole in the wall spot for cheap Thai food that wasn’t necessarily the best quality, but it was inexpensive and got the job done, so I loved it. They recently changed management and increased their prices while also making their portions smaller. Just another example of shrinkflation in 2025. I posted a picture of their menu from just a month ago vs. the menu today. Everything is more expensive. Also they used to pile up your food into a massive styrofoam box that was literally overflowing with food. Now, they have downsized to smaller Chinese takeout plastic containers. With these higher prices and small portions I might as well go to a nicer sit down Thai restaurant that’s basically the same price and double the portions. Really sad to see charlotte lose its last inexpensive...
