Tum Thai Cuisine — Restaurant in Town of Hempstead

I love Thai food, so I'm picky about the flavors wherever I go. Tum Thai has definitely become our #1 place to go to for the reason that it has not disappointed! The food is consistently fresh and delicious.. If it is your first time, simply try the classic dishes such as Pad Thai, fried Calamari, Pineapple Fried rice, Massaman Curry, etc. Thai Iced tea. The Thai Saussage Fried Rice with mixed Seafood (Calamari, Squid, Shrimp, Scallops, Mussels) is bursting with flavor, not spicy but you may ask for hot spices and they'll give them to you on the side.. It may be a few dollars more but it's a hearty meal and worth it if you're into rice, sausage or seafood..and if you like these, then you will definitely like their other dishes when you go back.

Update: Prices have increased dramatically since 3 years ago when I made the original review. Some of it increased Pre-Covid, which didn't hurt the wallet as much, but a lot of the dramatic increase happened during. The portions have not increased. They have not become more generous. The seating is still crowded. The service is still consistently great; the servers make an effort to know your name, but it's not like they have changed/improved with the prices. The food is great, but for the new prices, it doesn't make us step foot in here as often as we used to. I know Covid has hit hard, but it has hit everyone hard, small businesses, as well as us, the little people that keep them running. I don't agree that the answer is to charge their loyal customers more when they get packed just about almost every night, even now during a pandemic. The food is still good if you desire to go. That has not changed (nor improved). It still has my 5 stars. It's just not a place we frequently return to as we used to. The value does not match the current pricing. It's tough times for everybody,...

People should be forewarned before they walk into this restaurant. They serve tasteless and bland food, that are highly overpriced. I ordered "Coconut Shrimp" for $14. However, my heart sank when I saw when 4 individually breaded shrimps pierced into 4 different chopsticks, placed in front of me with less than 2 ml sauce. Essentially, $14 for 4 Shrimps!! Tell me this is NOT Highway Robbery! Another dish that I ordered was "Spicy Eggplant" for $16 a plate. I got the shock of my life when the first bite almost seared my mouth because the dish was so highly spiced that no human being could consume that. Green beans were almost raw. The worst part of it is, when you ask for the bill, these people generate a bill that shows a minimum of $18.87%, then 25% tip etc. It is quite atrocious that people are subjected to this kind of treatment simply because they trusted this place to serve authentic Thai cuisine.

The New York State authorities should consume some of this foods and thereafter shut down this restaurant. All the positive reviews found on their website are PAID REVIEWS. These false reviews is a dishonest gimmick to draw in unwary customers for the oncoming Highway Robbery. BUYER BEWARE!! You will be robbed with their substandard, unpalatable and...

I dropped in to order take-out this evening at about 7:30, and given that it's Saturday night, expected it to be busy. What I didn't expect was to be ignored at the counter after perusing the menu, right in front of the register while two women of the staff separately went about their other business. A simple acknowledgement of my presence would have been enough, but after standing there for a few moments I walked out vowing to not give them my business.

Unfortunately, I didn't want anything else I could find nearby, so I called in an order and picked it up twenty minutes later. Again, the staff was curt, if not rude. None of the usual (I thought) pleasantries, nor even a "thank you" as I was handed my change.

The meal? Drunken noodles, and not too bad though the portion size seemed small, more like a lunch portion. Altogether it was a rather mediocre dish and a negative experience, and one that I might have dismissed as the result of an off night, except that when I recounted the story to my wife, she told me she'd had a similar experience.

With as many businesses around that need our business bad enough to actually be courteous to customers, I think I'll aggressively avoid this place from here on out.

Good luck to you if you give...
