Reviews for Di-Chan Thai Restaurant

Ratings_icons Good, but not the beef

Ann Y.

Food was good, hot level on the high side; 5 is very spicy. Price is ok, but the half moon (5.95) for 8 little wonton wrapped curry flavored mashed potato is high. Some had less than a teaspoon of filling.
The noodle has great flavor, but the beef was very tough.
I would go again, but will order different things.

Ratings_icons Best Pad Thai!

The Thai food here is amazing! It is a small and cozy place in the same area as VIP buffet. My favorite dish to get here would have to be the Pad Thai! I will definitely be back soon!

Ratings_icons Spicy levels are questionable

I liked that the business was very cozy and small-- it's not a big chain and doesn't have the rushed feel of many other restaurants. I ordered a spicy rice noodle dish with a garlic paste chili-- the spicy level ranged from 1-10, 10 being the most spicy. I picked 5-- however, when my dish came out, it was VERY spicy- more of a 7 if anything. I was disappointed as this dampered my dining experience quite a bit. I heard someone else at another table complaining that their dish was too hot, "fiery" in fact. Also, their curry dishes do not automatically come with rice-- you have to order refillable rice on the side for an extra dollar. I thought that was wierd-- do they expect you to eat the curry by itself? Why wouldn't it automatically come with it? Anyway, a red curry was ordered as well and at a level 6 spicy, it was less spicy than the first and tasted great. I would recommend the curries and perhaps being more careful with the spicy level request. The noodle was about $9 and the curry $12-- not bad.

PROS: good curry
CONS: be careful w/ requesting the spicy level

Ratings_icons A nice little place to eat

This is a small little thai place that is comfortable for a casual night out. I really liked the angel wings (stuffed chicken wings) and the pad thai. The only thing is that it can get a little crowded because the restaurant is so small. The prices run about $7 for appetizers and $10 for entrees. When I went, we ordered the angel wings (2 wings) and the pad thai and it was enough for the both of us. Expect to spend about $30 for two people.

Ratings_icons Love them angel wings

James H. | insider Insider | Rank: 27,803

This is the first thai restaurant I went to and I must admit, I loved their food. The angel wings were excellent. The food is great. I dont know how it is at other thai restaurants but I thought this restaurant was a little pricey for the amount of food you get. But I have yet to try others. This restaurant was quite small as well. But overall I enjoyed my time there.

PROS: Great tasting food
CONS: price vs. amount of food and quite small
