The Charm Thai Bistro — Restaurant in Louisiana

I'm not even done eating yet and I'm giving this place 5 stars. The aesthetic is on point, the staff is very friendly, and the spring rolls are amazing. I would fist fight God for whatever recipe they're using for the peanut sauce and plum sauce.

Dumplings 👌👌💯 with an equally wonderful sauce.

I'll reserve my final critique for after the entrees, but I am very hopeful.

UPDATE:

The tom yum soup with chicken was amaaaazing. Savory and sour just like I hoped. All the ingredients were so fresh! The onion was still crisp enough to have a little bite, and the tomato was soft but still flavorful and tart.

The pad Thai was very good. Filled with savory and slightly sweet flavor, and not too wet or saucy - a more traditional and much welcomed Thai preparation. The peanut and lime complemented the flavor profile very well. All the ingredients were just as fresh as everything else. You can really tell this food was expertly made to order.

I haven't had Thai food this good since that guy in Covington went to jail and his restaurant got shut down a decade ago.

Five stars! Y'all...

August 17th, 2025. Yep we returned. It was just as fresh and delicious as the 1st time.

We wanted to try a new style and a new place today. It was a good choice. The place is so clean Very clean. The table does not have condiments on it cluttering the dining space.

The waiter handled the entire place. Alone.

All the food is fresh.

Very fresh. Not like arranged from piles of pre cooked ingredients.

The dishes will come out separately. His dish came out first.

Mine was 7 minutes later. It was more complicated The food is hot. Temperature hot. Like just out the pan hot. The spring rolls are tasty. They have a sushi type bar area to order and fine The spiral bound menu is beautiful. They have cash and credit card prices posted on each item. Cash is still king We highly recommend this establishment. They have great cocktails and wines and...

The Service was outstanding and so was the food--only 1 concern was the chicken was a little dry & chewy in the Pad Tai..otherwise all of the dishes were more than satisfactory. THE BEEF WAS ALSO A LITTLE CHEWY ALSO, BUT NOT AS BAD AS CHEWY CHICKEN, PERHAPS over cooked...The Tom yum soup was excellent. The menu has an arry of choices and very reasonably priced...The pineapple rice was served fresh & hot, as were all the main entrees..The staff were all very professional and friendly, excellent service..checked on you if needed anything, refill your tea, asked u how was your selection...I would highly recommend this little hidden gem on La. HWY 21 ,JUST OFF THE ROAD IN A STRIP MALL...PLEASE STOP IN FOR A POSITIVE DINNING EXPERIENCE, YOU WILL BE SO GLAD YOU DID..THE PORTIONS ARE LARGE, SO PLAN ON TAKUNG...
