Pick Thai Vermont: Reviews & Ratings
Everything was so wonderful here! Great service and amazing food. Can’t miss the traditional Pad Kra Pao here!
The food is excellent, the atmosphere is cozy, the service is very friendly. We ordered a number of appetizers and main courses but were too excited and forgot to take more photos. But, we appreciated the quality of the ingredients and preparation. We will definitely be repeat customers! See you again soon Pick Thai!
10/10 will return! Our server was the sweetest… very kind and she gave us a quick run down of the fan favorites. Also quick service, great menu & descriptions, vegetarian options and outdoor seating available. The Chive Dumpling app (not pictured) was divine and a great starter for 2-3 pax. The Crispy Chicken dish was 10/10, comes mild with the option to have it medium or hot. They brought additional sauces to the table. Great portion, brought leftovers home! Two people for dinner was ~$60 before tip, soft drinks included. Delightful warm meals perfect for a fall day!
I’m Thai and eating here felt just like being back home in Thailand. The flavors were spot on authentic fresh and full of that Thai kick I’ve been craving. Portions were generous and the vibe was relaxed. If you miss real Thai food this place totally hits the spot.
This brand new Thai restaurant in Essex Junction is worth a look. I dined here with a friend for lunch. The Massaman Curry was very good. The Pad Si Ew noodles were to die for. They are the best Pad Si Ew I have ever had - soft and flavorful with fresh broccoli and large shrimp. The menu features so many authentic Thai dishes. Be sure to ask the wait staff for descriptions and help choosing. There's so much more than the basic offerings. The ambiance is like a cute cafe with a lively mural on the wall. It's clean. The service is extremely efficient and our meals came out piping hot. Parking out side is easy and plentiful. Not sure about wheelchair accessibility. Prices were a bit high, but definitely worth a try. I will be going back.
In Burlington I Pick Thai, it's only 13 minutes to get there. Got there Thursday before 18:00 and only a table for 4 was occupied! The small restaurant have 6 tables for 2 and 3 that sit 4. The dining room was not busy but it was non stop for take out! This restaurant is a favorite around here. The young Asian server is timid but very friendly. The atmosphere is welcoming, the walls are well decorated, the bathrooms are clean and you will enjoy your time there. The fried rice is well presented, the Tom Kha chicken is 16 once of tasty coconut soup, filled with chicken and veggies. The spring rolls were deep fried! I don't like deep fried food but my partner loves them (mostly cabbage inside) served with a very sweet and sour sauce. The Broccoli Delight was perfect for a vegetarian. Not too spicy, not too cooked, just fresh veggies in a subtle tasty broth. I will Pick Thai again
This was our third visit since July. Food always looks amazing and tastes even better. We always experiment with at least one dish, trying something new, and the laab and crispy chicken (pictured)did not disappoint. Tom Kah, Tom Yum soups are always delicious. Servers are kind, friendly, prompt and accommodating. If you enjoy Thai or just want something different, Pick Thai is a must. I only gave 4 stars under service because the parking situation is … interesting but dont let that deter you.
Amazing cute little thai restaurant. Food came out super quick, staff was very friendly and personable. Food? Also amazing! Next time I'm in town I'll have to pick something spicier
