6 reviews for Tasti Thai
I would be 5 pounds lighter if it weren't for Tasti Thai! I've been getting takeout here regularly for the last few years, and the food is reliably yummy. I love the spring rolls - nothing pioneering but they're crispy and delicious. The tom yum and tom ka gai have been super tasty whenever I've ordered them. The drunken noodles, my go-to, are completely addictive, although lately they've been oily and even a bit mushy. The curries are also good, especially the yellow and red, although the curry flavor can be a bit too heavy. Basically I've liked almost everything I've ordered - the pad see ew didn't have much flavor when I tried it and I didn't love their oyster sauce, but other than that, I'm a huge fan.
Prices are reasonable, and the food is definitely as good as any Thai I've had in Philly or other cities. They offer lunch specials on weekdays. The fact that they're open til 10 six days a week (9:30 on Sundays) is a huge plus in this area, too, when almost everywhere closes even earlier. Dammit, now I'm hungry.
Note: they're now DE Today's critics' choice Best of Delaware 2008 for Thai!
Not many thai food options up here in Delaware.
Tasti Thai is my go-to place for now. Although, like a girlfriend unhappy in a current relationship ... I'm going to keep my eye out for something better.
Tom Yum soup was great and the "small" was large enough to share. I enjoyed my spicy beef with basil. We asked for hot sauce and got 3 different kinds, so that's cool.
The boyfriend's pad thai was a strange pink color and about 7 servings of food. But no peanuts. Which is strange. I also didn't enjoy that there were as many bean sprouts in it as there was pad.
The place was dead, we were early-birding it. But it still took forever to get our bill settled.
The decor is actually pretty cute inside, a good effort has been made by the owners to make this large strip-mall space feel homey.
I'm just a thai food snob. I don't know if I'll ever be satisfied until I return to my beloved SEA Thai ... or Napasorn... big ups.
Wow!
I've been bemoaning the fact that New Castle Country has what, one Thai place? (Come on, folks! It's not all about corndogs and NASCAR!)
But some googling and asking around unearthed Tasti Thai in New Castle, and the moment I heard about it, we jumped in the car and went there for dinner. It's sorta by the NCC airport.
In a nutshell: AWESOME.
Don't let the weird strip mall exterior confuse you; inside it's lovely.
Great tom kha gai in a clay pot, wonderful larb gai, terrific drunken noodles (I asked for extra basil, and I'm glad I did). All of the veggies were fresh, the portions were perfect, and I was happy all around,
The service was friendly, a wee bit slow-- but good food can't be rushed, so relax!
We finished the meal off with mango and sticky rice, which was delightful. I will make this place a staple.
Insider tip: Don't sit at the window table with your back to the front door; the door makes some noise opening and closing and it gets annoying after a while.
Keep these folks in business!
Great Thai Food, Great Prices, Great Service! Come Casual. Foods always consistently great. Worth the trip over the bridge. One of my favorites.
As far as I can find in DE, this is as good as it gets for Thai.
I especially like the Ka Prow made with tofu.
They usually will substitute tofu in the lunch specials at no extra charge (I don't know why they would charge extra--tofu is cheap). Last time the waiter said they couldn't, but checked with the kitchen and said it wouldn't be a problem.
I've been happy with all I've tried--everything appears authentic and not Americanized.
Ignore the shopping center, just focus on the delicious food.
I love this place, I really do.
When Tasti Thai first opened, we immediately went on over. Having gwon up in New Castle (albeit, OLD New Castle, which makes me classy), I wasn't used to having Thai at my fingertips. But the several dozen (seriously) times I've been here makes me root, root root for the home team here.
Inside a typical run down shopping center is Tasti Thai. When we first started going here, we would frequently be the only people in for dinner. Last Friday night when we went, it was busy, which is always good. They consistently have good food with lots of fresh flavors. I love the drunken noodles and their Pad Thai is a good, safe choice for someone just dipping their foot into a world of Thai.
We went for dinner last night, and I had the spicy beef salad, a large plate laden with beef, scallions, cilantro, red onions, tiny thin clear noodles, and lettuce, all in a vinegary dressing. We also ordered the homemade shrip and pork dumplings which were awesome. For dinner I got pad pet something, which was seafood and fresh veggies (onions, peppers, green beens, and maybe something else) in a spicy sauce with squid, shrimp, scallops, and mussels. Very tasty. I also sampled a few bites of Julie's dinner, which was spicy chicken fried rice. Whenever I have had fried rice from a Chinese restaurant it was always chewy, dry, and tough. This rice melts in your mouth, it is so delicious.
No desset, too full.
