Fresh Thai Kitchen

I grew up eating authentic Thai food at my best friend’s house, so I know the real deal. This place is 100% authentic Thai, not the Americanized version some expect, which might explain any negative reviews. My first bite confirmed it—delicious and true to tradition. The food is made quickly, prices are reasonable for authentic Thai, and portions are generous. The owner is friendly, the restaurant is clean, and if you want more veggies, just ask—they’re happy to accommodate. All in all, it’s a GEM! Highly recommend!

Fantastic little hole in the wall, family run, authentic Thai cuisine right on a downtown mall side street. Solid go to for a quick and yummy lunch. Friendly service and they offer it hot every time which I like also. Super nice people and the food is made fresh and fast. One of the best values for a carry out meal in the downtown mall.

Stopped in on a whim before work. Best food and customer service I've had in a very long time. The menu is small but packed with flavor and at a great price, at that. Will definitely be putting this place in my regular lunch rotation. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would.

We ordered the pad Thai ($10), Thai iced tea ($4), red curry ($10), Thai spring rolls ($7) and wonton soup ($5). Pad Thai was delicious. I would have liked to have some vegetables in it, but for the price point and flavor, it is a deal. The Thai tea was subtly sweet and good portion. The red curry had also a hint of sweetness and was well balanced. Thai spring rolls were crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. The wonton soup had peppered chicken inside the wonton and was bright in flavor. We went for dinner (6 pm) on a Thursday night and there was no line. Food was brought out quickly and made fresh. I highly recommend this family owned restaurant. Owners are wonderful; they pour love and pride into every bite! Can’t wait to eat here again!

This is a tiny, simple place for Thai food. They have few tools and tables. During these summer days you might find this place quite hot. However, their food tastes good and cheaper compared to lots of other expensive thai restaurants in Charlottesville. Their portion size is quite good for the price. We ordered Thai fried rice with chicken and green curry. Both tasted delicious. Thai tea was okish. If you want a quick Thai bite thid place is perfect for you.
