Budsi’s Authentic Thai, New Orleans, LA Report #538

This place is tucked away on a back street in the Marigny neighborhood of New Orleans. I never would have known it was here, but my daughter has a habit of looking at my restaurant reports, finding a place I’ve never been, and buying me a gift certificate for it for Christmas. One for this…

A Taste Of Thailand Restaurant, Gretna, LA Report #522

Eating at a Thai restaurant in Gretna on Thanksgiving eve is a Blaine family tradition going back 100’s of years. It’s one I’ll never break. So we ended up here tonight. I’ve heard good things about this place. I don’t live very far away but just never had the opportunity to stop in. After tasting…

Thai Zapp Cafe, Metairie, LA Report #508

About a month and a half ago, I was in Metairie and in the mood for Thai food. I tried a new place and had a meal that was mediocre at best. When I posted my report, a friend told me I SHOULD have gone to Thai Zapp. That Thai Zapp is the BEST place…

Thai Ocha, Metairie, LA Report #494

To help keep my slim, sexy body (take my word for it), I go bike riding in Bucktown every Saturday night. After, I eat like a pig to replace all the calories I burned! Tonight, we were in the mood for Thai. Mama Thai is right across the street from the bike path, but they’ve…

Cafe Equator, Metairie, LA Report #437

This place is located right across the street from a popular shopping mall, so I’ve been looking at it for some time thinking I’ve got to give it a try. Today was their lucky day.

Secret Thai Restaurant, Chalmette, LA Report #422

This place is located in an area known as Chalmette, down in St. Bernard Parish. When I think of St. Bernard, I think of seafood. In fact, I used to fish and crab down here a lot. The Parish is 2,159 square miles, of which only 378 are land. 1,781 square miles are water! So…

Thai D-Jing, Gretna, LA Report #340

This is a beautiful little place, which you can easily see used to be a house. We would have dined on the front porch if the weather had been nicer. The owners started out with a food truck. I know a few people who were regular patrons, and they all said the food was great.…

Mama Thai, Metairie, LA Report #295

There’s a restaurant right down the street from here called New Orleans Food & Spirits which everyone raves about.  They don’t take reservations.  Strictly first come first serve. That’s where we tried to go, and they told us it’d be a 25 minute wait.  With the number of people waiting for a table, looked more…

Jasmine Rice Thai Cuisine, Gretna, LA Report #241

I was in the mood for Thai food tonight.  I live on the Westbank of New Orleans, and didn’t feel like crossing the river.  My favorite Thai place on the Westbank is Banana Blossom, but I felt like trying a different place.  There’s a place called “A Taste Of Thailand” that I’ve been hearing good…

Sukho Thai, New Orleans, LA Report #130

  Sukhothai means either “Dawn of Happiness”, or “Dawn of the Kingdom of Thailand”, as Sukhothai was the first free Thai city, founded in 1238 A.D., after two Thai chieftans liberated the city from the Khumer rule.  Sukhothai thus became the seat of the first Siamese Kingdom, and the center point of an era of…
