Nisa Thai Asian Cuisine

This is the Thai food I couldn't find for a decade before I moved to Richmond. Other Thai restaurants here may be fancier or have better plating, but this place is what keeps pulling me back. It's the messy, oily, spicy, and absolutely delicious type of authentic Thai food that leaves you both satisfied and wanting more only a couple days later.

A small, a hole in the wall space made into a comforting area that almost feels like a karaoke bar. The food was great and the service was prompt and helpful. The drunken noodle was actually Thai spicy (though you can order it milder) and they brought out my Thai iced coffee with the meal, which was perfect! Overall great experience.

Trust me, get their Thai tea. Probably the most refreshing and delicious Thai Tea you’ll get for a very good price. I visited Nisa Thai a couple of times with friends before while hanging around Downtown and I always go for their drinks! My friend has tried many other flavors as well and loved all of them, and the Pad Thai is also very well made. Seasoned well, not too dry or wet, and a generous portion. I’ve also ordered various kinds of their soups (apologies, cannot remember specific names) and each one tasted amazing and always hit the spot! Their restaurant location can be a little awkward to navigate and they do have parking at the back of the shop, and it’s in walking distance from many other places. Interior is very sweet, appealing, and the owners and waitresses are all very accommodating and attentive. Service is almost always quick and efficient. Bring all your friends for some delicious Thai Cuisine!

Abating experience! Sushi is no longer in their menu, but they have great Thai/Vietnamese/Asian cuisine. The ambiance is tranquil and really great staff. Not to mention they offer Halal meat substitutions! This was a great food find while we were down in Richmond for the weekend. Thanks Nisa Thai you guys are awesome!
