Probably the best meal we had in New Orleans! I could do with skipping the tofu satay appetizer next time though. It didn't have that much flavor although the tofu was cooked well. Also, my husband is allergic to peanuts and they charged us for an extra chili sauce that they brought out for us - seems a little unfair. Anyway, I ordered the fried eggplant with tofu for my meal and it was great! Eggplant was perfectly fried and cooked and I loved the salty savory sauce filled with chopped onions that it came in. I also appreciated that the eggplant wasn't just soaked in the sauce so it stayed crispy. The accompanying tofu was also great with the sauce. And a healthy side dose of white rice to balance it all out.

LOVE the vegan options + separate vegan menu. Not just 1 lonely veggie item, but actually a substantial number of entrees and appetizers. :) They even have vegan fish sauce, and some often hard to find vegan Thai dishes such as Khao Soi! They also have vegan cheesecake- the day I went they had 2 options, Pistachio & Chai. I got the pistachio and it was so good! Creamy smooth base- I think it is made of coconut. Pistachio flavor could be slightly stronger. The Tofu Satay was good- perfectly fried tofu with a tasty peanut sauce. The Khao Soi came with purple sweet potato noodles unexpectedly, instead of yellow noodles. It ended up being a pleasant surprise as firstly the colors were great, and secondly it was a super chewy texture. The curry soup was tasty and not too heavy- I've had vegan Khao Soi before that was extremely rich with coconut and a bit too heavy. The service was really good- my waitress was friendly and answered all my questions. Food came out in a reasonable time. The decor is really lovely- gold accents with a combination of traditional + modern decor. Lovely ambience for any occasion- family time, date night, friends night out. Would return if I was in NOLA again!

Wow, Thaihey is truly a gem. As a lover of Thai food , I've been to nearly every Thai restaurant in the city. Thaihey is absolutely amongst the best. The drinks, the apps, the entrees and dessert were all delicious. My friend and I recently visited for lunch and shared the crispy shrimp rolls , I got the Khao Soi shrimp as an entree and then we shared a bite of the vegan (matcha) cheesecake which was amazing. I also had a mocktail which was akin to a Moscow mule. It was so refreshing. Our server was so friendly and checked in with us frequently. She also had great insights regarding the menu. The ambiance is cozy and beautifully decorated. I look forward to my next visit.

Super underrated New Orleans eatery! Ended up going here twice in 4 days and attempted to go 4x in 4 days! It's just that good. My colleagues and I first dined here following a paddle boat tour so we arrived slightly before 5pm on a Sunday, which is when they open. Within minutes of opening, all tables were filled and in retrospect, we were so lucky to be able to time this perfectly to enjoy our first dining experience! I've since been a couple of times, with an attempt to go every night for 4 nights, but they were either booked or the wait was too long. I believe they do take reservations, so prepare yourselves in advance! On my second visit here, we were able to snag one of the three open tables at 6pm. Here's everything I've tried and the standouts: - Thai Iced Tea: MUST TRY! There's two options: a dairy and vegan option. The drink is served with a tea-infused ice block so after you finish your initial drink, you can keep adding more liquid for more tea! - Thaihey Fried okra: Deep fried okra with secret spices seasoning - this was great but nothing phenomenal. Has a kick. My coworkers enjoyed the exotic spices. - Green Curry Dumplings: Kurobuta pork marinated in green curry, encased in a light dough, served with a coconut milk sauce and basil oil drizzle - I thought the coconut milk sauce diluted the overall flavor and made the dish watery, and $15 for 4 dumplings is a lot to pay, but my coworkers enjoyed this dish. The presentation is gorgeous! I would probably not order again. - Thaihey Pad Thai Colossal Soft Shell Crab: Stir fried rice noodle with tamarind sauce, sliced saffron egg sheet, crushed peanut, cabbage, and rainbow carrot - looked delicious but the pad thai was not authentic. - Khao Soi Short Rib: Slow cooked Short Rib Northern style yellow curry noodle soup with fried egg noodles, pickled radish, and fresh cilantro. Know that Thaihey has 5 different Khao Soi options on the menu, and Khao Soi is my most favorite Thai dish - I was in foodie heaven! Surely, I thought this place knows how to do Khao Soi right. I ordered the most expensive version thinking I was in for a treat. If done correctly, Khao Soi should be a blend of flavors and textures that explode in your mouth! I was so disappointed in Thaihey's rendition of Khao Soi. As you can see, my dish lacked color, flavor, and depth. It was also incredibly salty. I packed most of it to-go and had to order a side of rice to balance out the salt. Definitely would not pay $45 again for this disappointment. - Ribeye Boat Noodle Soup - Seared ribeye beef in a sweet soy sauce, infused with aromatic five-spice oxtail broth, served with spinach and rice noodles. This was a STANDOUT dish! Obviously not traditional boat noodle soup made with beef or pork blood, but the soup was bursting with spice and incredibly delicious. I ordered this with a medium spice level and it was fantastic! - Thaihey Spicy Ramen Pork Ribs: Korean BBQ sauce-coated fried pork ribs served with stir-fried ramen noodles, Thai basil and salted egg yolk. Another STANDOUT dish! The pork ribs and diverse flavors of the noodles with the veggie combo really brings this dish together. Very delicious! - Pistachio Vegan Cheesecake: Graham cracker, caramel, toasted marshmallow cheesecake, chocolate ganache, and graham crust by Deuxbelle Vegan Pastry & Confections - this was done very well!! I'm not vegan but was impressed by this dessert. Overall, the ambiance is a bit tight. The restaurant would struggle with accommodating parties more than 4 (if it's even possible). I wouldn't call this an authentic Thai restaurant, but instead a restaurant that does a variety of Thai-inspired dishes pretty well. Another plus is their wide selection of vegan options in a city that's known for seafood and heavy meat dishes. Service was attentive on both occasions. Thaihey has my vote! Will definitely return.

Ended up at Thaihey on Valentine's Day and it was delicious! Got the last table (without a reservation) and as it turns out the vegan menu is only available on Friday which it happened to be. Very tasty Thai curry and tofu satay appetizer. Fun staff too!

Awesome Thai place in the heart of the Quarter. We were able to sit outside at a last minute reservation and they have an entire vegan menu -- but it's only available on Fridays! I got the tofu soup which was cool to see presented to me. The tofu satay was also really good for an appetizer! Drinks are on the sweeter side. The desserts were all vegan and it was delicious!

Thai Hay NOLA is incredible! The combination of Thai and Creole flavors is so unique, and everything we ordered was incredible. We started with Thai iced tea, and I got mine with salted coconut cream, which was amazing--the creaminess balanced the tea perfectly. Even the water infused with pandan leaves was a nice touch, adding a subtle, refreshing flavor. For appetizers, we had the fried tofu and fried lotus root, and while we paid extra for the peanut sauce, it was totally worth it. For entrees, we got the short rib khao soi and the catfish red curry with pumpkin--both were bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. The service was fantastic--Misty and Mae were so warm and welcoming. The restaurant has such a great vibe, perfect for both a casual night out with friends or a date night. Just a heads-up: reservations are a good idea since the space is limited. 10/10 experience--I'll definitely be back!

Probably the best meal my boyfriend and I have had during our visit in NOLA! Our server, Jeremy, was great. Seems like he really enjoys his time there. I was a little skeptical at first because every dish looks like it was all for show. NO! It was also packed with lots of flavor. An elevated experience for sure. The dipping sauce for each appetizers were, legit, made from scratch and oh-so-yummy! Our favorite was the frog legs. Highly recommend.

Crowded spot the night before the snow-pacolypse and well worth a (potential) last meal Staff was attentive, food was delicious and generous enough portioned, and atmosphere was lively and welcoming. Come for unique Thai dishes that are more upscale than you'll typically get at traditional restaurants :)

The menu is traditional Thai food but with more of a modern twist. They serve pandan-infused water which I thought was a really nice touch, it complemented the food very well. I also ordered a virgin old fashioned as I don't usually see that on mocktail menus and it had a lovely flavor profile. We got tofu satay for a starter to share, we liked the peanut sauce and salad that came with it (good to note that they also have multiple vegan options on their menu). For mains, we got the khao soi chicken and the ribeye pad Thai. It is more expensive than the usual Thai spot but that's because the food is a little more upscale. That being said, both entrees were delicious and made for a good dinner. I would recommend booking a reservation here as the space is small and can tend to fill up quick. The service otherwise is pretty quick and friendly. If you're looking for something outside of Cajun and Creole cuisine in the French Quarter, I would recommend checking this place out.
