Langley Thai Cuisine — Restaurant in Hampton

I looked up Langley Thai and saw it had great reviews. I gave it a try and was pleasantly surprised by how good it was. The food is authentic, flavorful, and clearly made with care. I ordered a variety of soups and noodles. Everything hit the mark. The coconut soup with lemongrass was especially great, with tender meat and rich flavor.

The location is just outside the King Street gate of Langley. It’s run entirely by one family. The gentleman at the front counter was friendly and welcoming, and he mentioned that everyone working there is family. You could tell. Service was fast, polite, and kind.

It’s not flashy on the outside, but the inside is definitely a place worth sitting down for a full meal. It felt comfortable, clean, and welcoming.

They packed everything exactly as I asked. Extra rice, no spills, and everything neatly sealed for takeout.

This place really impressed me. I’ll definitely...

How did this place rate so high? Besides being super close to the military base gate, there's not much else to report that made me smile. We had to seat ourselves, waited WAY too long to even get menus (there were four of us) and getting drinks was combined with other tables. Speaking of which, apparently regulars get better service since a table for 3 showed up after us but routinely got drinks quicker, their ORDER before us and their food much much earlier than us. No one ordered (after maybe 15 minutes of waiting) anything crazy (pad Thai, etc) and yet we had to rush when leaving because ONE AND A HALF HOUR break wasn't going to be enough. We even put all the meals on one credit card cuz we knew the process was taking easily 5 minutes per person. So be warned: it's close, USAF members, but you better have nothing on your calendar after lunch cuz...

Langley Thai is my place for Thai food on the peninsula. The staff are friendly and professional. The food is fresh, hot (except when it is supposed to be cold), and delicious. We started going here the week we moved to the state, and we haven’t regretted it at all.

I recommend the Beef salad and the Tom Kha soup, and my daughter recommends the Pad Thai.

In fairness, I would say the biggest negative for the restaurant is being closed on weekends, though I completely respect people needing their own lives too outside work, and being so close to Langley’s back gate, there’s not a lot of traffic on the weekends.

Also, having a smaller size of Tom Kha soup would be nice for when my daughter is...
