I love this place. Probably the best Thai food that I've ever had! The service was amazing! We dined here two days in a row. We will be back!
Such a gem! Locally owned with the freshest ingredients. Their soups are healing, the noodles comforting and the ambience feels like home.
This is the hidden gem in Tupelo. The food is just as good to go as it is in house. Pad Thai, Combo Fried Rice, and Pad See Ewe are some of my favorites but haven't had a bad meal here. Steamed potstickers are delicious as well. Quality service!
The atmosphere is quaint, with great ambience and clocks everywhere. There interior is small but private. The service was quick, and friendly. My moo ping came out first, was tender, and milder than I expected but still very good. My entree was Bangcock noodles. They fresh, hot, and very flavorful, but again not as spicy as I expected.
What a wonderful find here it Tupelo. The Thia place across from our hotel was closed today and we found this place about 2 miles away. The decor is awesome. Walking back in time including an old grandfather clock. Can you say welcome? We had the Tom Kha Soup was outstanding and so fresh. Remarkable. None better! Then we shared the Thai Fried Rice which again was the best I've ever had and I've had some great ones. Fried ice cream for desert and we are leaving so satisfied. Well done to all the staff here and kudos to the chef! Was a pleasure to dine here and recommend 100%!
I love the interior as well as the music. The service and food were great. I had the pineapple chicken fried rice with a Thai tea
Delicious, per the usual! We always come here! Everything they serve is fantastic but I really appreciate that they have tons of gluten free and dairy free options! The flavors are so deep and rich, and the meal typically contains vegetables so you don't feel weighed down after eating! Atmosphere is stellar, with clocks and vintage decor covering the restaurant. Staff is fast, friendly, and makes sure to answer any allergy questions I have (I can't stress how much I appreciate that)!! Hands down, best place in Tupelo!
We ate Friday night at Sao. Friday is always my standby for eating each week at magnificent Sao Thai. Service is wonderful, as the entire family is delightful. The meals & ambiance are great. Sao is , without a doubt, my favorite restaurant in Mississippi! EVERYTHING on the menu is superb.
The food here was on point! Satay chicken, tasty and meaty pieces. Pad see ewe was special, with some extra kick I loved and could not identify flavor-wise.
Really good flavors. We ordered the lunch Panang, red Curry and Pad Thai. They came with soup and crispy roll. The food had a nice flavor and the portions were of a size that fit a lunch special. We shared the food. My wife could not eat the rolls as they were flour and I would not eat the soup as it had chicken. We worked that out though. The service and staff were nice. They are rated highly and I see why. Nicely done!
