Thai in Decatur — Restaurant in Decatur

The location given for Thai in Decatur is not really a restaurant but a food hub where online orders from different places can be picked up.

The location of this food hub is very cumbersome because you basically have to back out of it, not only to get out but also to make room for people who arrived ahead of you and whom you are blocking.

But to Thai in Decatur. The texted updates were late in coming. The initial email update gave a time of 6:18 pm for food to be ready. I didn't get my food til 6:42 pm. Had to complain at the food hub first. Phone inquiry to Thai of Decatur didn't work as nobody picked up the phone at all.

I will be trying the food in just a minute and then follow up.

The food was overall okay. We had ordered two appetizers and one entree. The spring rolls were certainly the tiniest I've ever seen (they look bigger in the pic, but were only as long as my little finger but bigger in diameter). Flavor was okay. They came with a sweet and sour sauce which tasted like liquid mold. I doubt this is "Thai in Decatur"s fault. I've had moldy flavored sweet and sour sauce from various other restaurants before. If one uses a store bought sauce (as I suspect), one should at least do a taste test. The Chicken Satay was pretty standard. The peanut sauce with it not as tasty as others I've had.

The pork Prik King was tasty. No complaints there.

My overall frustration is with the long wait and lack of promised updates. And also with the fact that I got a food hub where I expected a restaurant. This was not obvious from the website.

This was my 1st order and my 1st impression was subpar.

The food hub itself seemed very busy and highly "automated". During the complaint process, I spotted a very long list of...

Being in Decatur for work for several days, my goal was to eat local and diverse. Thai food has a special place in my heart - the first restaurant I managed was developed and ran by an acclaimed Thai chef. His food for me is like home. Thai in Decatur comes pretty close to that. My only comments are really because of my training. The Tom Yum soup has amazing flavor, and the right flavor. My only suggestion is that there should be Oyster mushrooms instead of regular button mushrooms. However, that could be a supply-chain thing. The shrimp were quality and not overcooked which is important. The flavors of the drunken noodle were also well proportioned. I choose beef, but next time I'd opt for no meat. The beef was not marinated in the traditional blend of soy sauce, oyster sauce, garlic, ginger, water and sugar. However, the dish was still fantastic and 4.8 stars wasn't an option just for that one little hiccup.

It is a bit pricey. I'd make the cheese rolls a 4pc not a 3pc - that would help. But with soup and an appetizer an entre is sufficient to share.

I would also add that the "Decatur Food Hub" is an interesting concept and the idea wasn't obvious on the website. The building does not say "Thai in Decatur" so it took a mi ute to find being that I'm not from Georgia.

The dessert was a surprise...

I had a serious craving for Thai food, especially basil rolls, but this place was a huge disappointment. The basil rolls were bland and uninspired, and the “Three Flavor Chicken” was downright awful. It tasted like old, leftover chicken soaked in soy sauce—not even close to fresh. As for the vegetables, calling them a joke would be generous: one lonely piece of broccoli and a handful of chopped peppers tossed in for appearance. This place operates out of one of those ghost kitchen setups that are popping up everywhere, and it shows. If freshness and quality matter to you, look elsewhere. I won’t...
