The food here is great! We went during the limited holiday menu, and they were still very accommodating for our vegetarian diets. We had the Panang Curry and Pad Thai both with tofu, and they were super flavorful . I would definitely come back to get the curry again. I also had a Thai Iced Tea with coconut milk which was a great sweet treat. I will definitely recommend this place to others!

Absolute gem of a restaurant. I go to Thai places all of the time, and this might be the best one I've ever been to. The food was top notch and they had a very nice restaurant. You can tell they put a lot of thought and work into the atmosphere. The menu is simple and easy, and the staff was incredibly pleasant. Also, they were very knowledgeable about vegan food, wonderful selection as well, they could make most of their entrées vegan. For an area with limited vegan options/restaurants, this place made us feel like we were in a vegan haven! Highly Recommend.

Authentic, excellent Thai food. If you're afraid to try Thai food because you were told, like I once was, that it's just like Chinese food, but spicy. This isn't true. Thai food is unique, with an emphasis on quality and fresh ingredients. Most dishes are not spicy. Yes, some can be prepared that way. But it's definitely not the norm. My wife is Thai and not afraid to give an honest opinion. She said the food was excellent as well. Service was terrific. The owner came out to greet guests at each table. Like all Thais he was friendly, happy, and positive. Thai beers are available and very good, if you've never tried one.

MOST AUTHENTIC THAI! My family and I are very picky when it comes to Thai food and this place easily clears as the most authentic (and delicious) restaurant in south carolina. Such delicious food but beware ordering Thai spicy, it’s not for the weak! The staff here is what makes the experience so enjoyable. The blonde lady that works here has a heart of gold, started off with a compliment that made my night and she was on top of everything, food and drinks coming out on perfect timing. Such a kindhearted and hardworking lady. I am here to visit my family and it genuinely makes me upset I won’t be a regular. But now I know where to go every time I visit.

I found my favorite Thai restaurant in South Carolina! I travel the state for work and try t find flavors that remind my palette of being home in Hawaii. I found a good Thai restaurant in Greenville but the service and foods here at Thai Smile make it my favorite. The Tom Kha is flavored so well, it's light and delicate and the vegetables are very fresh. They don't skim out in the veggies like some places where you get A mushroom and broth. Now for my main dish, Nam Tok (thai beef salad). The steak was so tender! The ambiance is very inviting and the staff here is so friendly. The bartender delivered my food to me with a smile and everyone was so welcoming. Sawat, the Owner is hands on and is very nice! Sitting here eating by myself, I saw two separate parties come in and say that
