Wanted to get Thai food for lunch before visiting a family member who was in the hospital.
Initially decided to stop by the other Thai place next door but was literally blown out of the dining room b/c the owner was using what looked like a leaf blower to blow the dust out of his dingy and dark restaurant — mind you this is 10 min after the posted opening hour. He also rudely told us to get out of the way and wait outside until he was done.
I Didn’t have time for that type of attitude and lack of customer service so I decided to take my business to Charm Thai instead.
Wow—the difference between Charm Thai and the other Thai restaurant next door was like night and day! Charm Thai was well-lit and impeccably clean. The staff was kind and inviting—they don’t treat you like a you’re nuisance. The food was great and the price was just right. It was an overall pleasant experience.
If you’re a fan of pho or Thai boat noodles, they have THE BEST Thai boat noodle broth I’ve ever tasted! You can tell it was made in house with authentic ingredients from scratch and lots of love. It was so aromatic and soothing for the soul.
I’d definitely recommend getting Thai food here if you’re ever in the Downtown Winston area.
Love, love, love this place! Every experience has been pleasant. The food is spot on and the atmosphere is quaint. No frills, good prices & great food. I highly recommend this place.
I am obsessed with this joint.
As soon as you walk in you get clean tables, fast and friendly service and not to forget very delicious food. Their house fried rice is super delicious and the right amount of spicy that I love, I will come back here every chance I can get.
P.S whoever takes care of all those beautiful plants, you’re a plant fairy :)
The Charm Thai Restaurant experience ( Dine-In Edition). I decided to venture out to try Thai food for lunch. I must admit I have passed this place many times to dine at Downtown Thai & Pho, but they are closed on Fridays during lunch hours. So what better time to try somewhere new. There was nothing special about the restaurant's décor, but I was pleasantly pleased with their lunch menu offerings. The bathrooms were clean and the service good, and the server was attentive.
I ordered their Pad Kra Proa, stir-fried ground meat ( I selected chicken) with basil leaves, bell pepper, mushrooms, carrots, and onions in fresh chili sauce. With their lunch, you receive a salad with peanut dressing that comes out first and a spring roll with your meal. The food was excellent, but the portion sizes are more petite than I am used to eating for a Thai lunch. But I guess the food did its job because it left me wanting more, lol. Would I go back. Yes, I would. I am counting calories these days, and having a smaller portion for lunch wasn't that bad, but I could see others complaining.
Their spicy papaya salad and all curries are delicious! However, order it on Uber eats or to go if you want typical Thai portions. I originally tried it out through Uber and was so amazed so I finally went to there for dinner.
The portions are so tiny for the amount of money that they charge!!! The service is great, they just need to make their customers feel like they are not wasting money on portions inside the restaurant!
On another note, if you truly want “Thai spicy” mixed with great recipes, this is the number one place in Winston or any surrounding areas!!! Other restaurants don’t live up to the heat!
We came here for dinner yesterday and lunch today after the half-marathon and it was fantastic both times. The paenang curry was flavorful and perfectly balanced (I got medium spice at dinner, my partner got spicy for lunch today, and both were delicious), and the beef pho at lunch today was perfect- perfect temperature, perfect balance of flavors, and a HUGE amount. Their lunch is super generous on portions and comes with the best little spring rolls and chili sauce. If I'm in Winston-Salem again anytime soon, this is my first food stop.
Very quaint cute Thai restaurant in the heart of downtown Winston-Salem. Peaceful music and quiet ambience, perfect for a date night. Tons of plants everywhere- they are beautiful. I had the red curry which is my go to Thai meal. It was a bit salty for my taste but still very good. Portion sizes were small for the price compared to what I’ve received elsewhere in town. I would return if wanting sit down food but I will continue to get my to go Thai food at a different restaurant.
