Tip Thai Restaurant — Restaurant in Lakeside

Absolutely amazing little out-of-the-way Thai restaurant. The single woman (the ONLY ONE!) that works here is absolute GEM. She was so kind and efficient in bringing us our food. Everything is grown by her or locally sourced, and it is clearly reflected in the food.

My date and I ordered the crab/chicken dumpling appetizer, expecting to wait no less than 20 minutes. She had it out in less than 10, plated BEAUTIFULLY, and steaming hot. I wish we had taken photos. I changed my mind about the carrot garnish and devoured it because of the sauce. I've hated carrots since I was a kid.

The Drunken Noodles are amazing as well. Spiced perfectly, fresh ingredients, perfectly cooked noodles. Absolutely lives up to the name.

The Tip Fried Rice is also absolutely a main dish - the serving size was bountiful and spared no small bit of shrimp. My date absolutely raved about it while we ate.

What amazes me is that we were the only ones there during dinner rush hours! There's plenty of seating, and an absolutely gorgeous atmosphere. Perfect date night spot - we're...

I've savored two delightful dining experiences here: dining in and takeout. Both were top notch! The service here was impeccable, too.

The Tip appetizer sampler was beautifully arranged and equally as tasty. We enjoyed the accompanying dipping sauces too. All of the apps were good but the chicken satay skewers were perfectly marinated and cooked, making it my favorite. I also loved the cream cheese rangoons.

I cannot get enough of their Tom Yum Goong soup (shrimp and mushrooms). It's bright and full of lemongrass and lime flavors; definitely on the acidic/sour side which I love! I even took some to go after dining in! 😄 It was just as tasty for lunch the next day.

For dessert, we shared their house made coconut ice cream w jackfruit and mango sauce. It was light, bright, and refreshing like all of their dishes!

Highly recommend checking...

Their Pad Thai chicken (extra chicken and. O peanuts !) is my all-time favorite, and I’ve worked my way through all six spice levels over the years. They offer a range from American mild, medium, and hot—then step it up with Thai mild, medium, and hot. I usually go with Thai spicy medium, which brings the perfect kick without overwhelming the dish’s flavor.

Another standout is their curry chicken with yellow sauce—rich, comforting, and a great change of pace when I want something different. And let’s not forget the crispy spring rolls—every time we’ve ordered them, they’ve hit the mark.

My wife and kids order different dishes than I do, and while I can’t speak to what they eat, I can tell you they always leave happy.

If you’re craving authentic Thai food with consistent quality and flavor, Tip Thai...
