The Story
About This Place
Thai Street sits on Trần Ngọc Diện and draws a steady crowd — 530 Google reviews at 4.3 stars is the kind of track record that builds on repeat visitors rather than novelty. The menu reads like a well-edited tour through Thai grilling and curry house classics, without veering into fusion or approximation. Satay comes in both chicken and pork versions, marinated and served with peanut sauce, and the Gai Yang — barbecue chicken with sweet chili, spicy-sour sauce, and sticky rice — is the kind of dish that anchors a meal. Fried chicken wrapped in pandan leaves offers something less common on Thao Dien menus, with the aromatic leaf lending a subtle herbal quality to the crust.
The curry section covers serious ground: green, red, panang, and massaman across chicken, pork, and beef. That range means a table of four can order differently and still eat cohesively. Massaman, the slower-cooked, nut-spiced style, sits alongside the brighter heat of panang — both worth noting for anyone who defaults to the same curry every time.
In a neighborhood where Thai options often skew toward upmarket set menus or hotel-adjacent dining, Thai Street operates at a more everyday register. The hours run 11 AM to 10 PM daily, making it practical for both lunch and dinner without requiring a reservation window. For expats and residents looking for consistent Thai cooking — grilled, curried, and priced for regular visits — it fills a gap that Thao Dien's more tourist-facing spots leave open.

Thai Street is one of my favorite spots in Thảo Điền for authentic Thai food. The dishes are full of flavor with the perfect balance of sweet, sour, spicy, and savory. Portions are generous, prices are reasonable, and the menu offers plenty of variety. The atmosphere is casual and lively, while the staff are friendly and attentive. Whether you're craving pad thai, green curry, or tom yum, you really can't go wrong. I'll definitely be back!
Very interesting place where you can feel Bangkok. Friendly and cozy space. Ms. Anh is very helpful and supportive staff. Must try: combo of Som Tam (green papaya salad), Pad Thai, Tom Yum soup with rice, Thai red milk tea.
The restaurant has a fun street food look and a great atmosphere. The food was delicious. We had vegan spring rolls, pad Thai and red curry. The servings were huge and everything was full of flavour. We could not finish it all but really wanted to. It is definitely a bit more expensive than other places but it was worth it and I would still recommend it.
Have been a customer of Thai street for several years because it’s consistently yummy. Have probably been there or ordered more than 50 times. If you are looking for Bangkok style authentic Thai food, this is the place. Highly recommended for both delivery and for dine in. Favorites are green curry, chicken with chili and holy basil leaf and solid pad Thai and chicken with coconut milk soup. They also have a decent khao soi hai which is hard to find in Saigon. The som tom can be a bit hot or miss on spice - they tend to go a bit overboard on this one. Wish they would offer more selection of vegetables like kale! Service is warm and friendly. Makes me hungry just writing this review😂
