Marigold Thai

I came here on a Tuesday night, this restaurant is quite small but the lighting makes it comfortable and spacious.

For my appetizer, I got the garden rolls. They were tightly compacted which makes it easier for the individual pieces to not fall off, unlike certain restaurants in Richmond. The sauce paired nicely, not too salty, similar to hoisin sauce but a bit more umami. The added crunch of the peanut bits faired quite well, it was a nice texture component. The earthy flavor paired well, bringing together the whole appetizer.

For my main, I gotten the pad see ew. Rich umami, extremely savory dish. The flat rice noodles were fun to eat, a very bouncy texture. For my protein I gotten the tofu, it absorbed the sauce nicely. The outside bit crunchy and chewy, with some charred marks (charred favor added more flavor making it taste better), all in all, a very savory dish to end the night.

Lastly for my dessert, the fired ice cream was delicious, but my only complaint is how thick the breading was. It was a bit hard to break the shell. It tasted fine, I guess, nothing to be expected. But once I break through the shell, I notice how rich and cream yellowish color the ice cream looked. It was like custard when I bit into it. Smooth and delicate.

Anyways that’s my experience.

Great place for genuine Thai food. We've eaten there several times, mostly for lunch. We like the green curry pork and summer rolls. We've only tried a few other dishes on the menu but have enjoyed each. If you like Thai food or even think you might like it, give this restaurant a visit.

Awesome hole in the wall place with about 10 tables. Got the spicy noodle soup and tofu pad thai. Flavors were amazing. Nothing greasy or poorly seasoned. Service was very prompt and the server was extremely polite. I ordered the soup as "American hot", I'll get "thai hot" next time. Portion sizes were great. Prices very reasonable: $35 for two entrees and an appetizer. We'll definitely be back.

A hidden gem in Mechanicsville. Food was excellent and our waitress was nice. Really surprised we had the restaurant to ourselves almost the entire time we were there on a Saturday evening. They definitely do a lot more takeout orders as I saw at least 10 customers come in for orders.

We have come here multiple times, especially for their teas to go! We absolutely love it! The host is always so sweet and efficient. Definitely recommend!

My wife and I came for a late date night. The restaurant was busy at 830pm and we took that as a good sign, and we soon found out why.

We were promptly greeted and sat. Menus and drink orders were taken quickly by their fantastic staff.

I had the Thai Iced Tea which was phenomenal and first time trying one. We shared the Thai Money Bags appetizer, I had Basil Thai Fried Rice, and my wife had the Drunken Noodles.

All of our food was hot, fresh, and cooked perfectly and well balanced. I will definitely be returning.

I have also posted updated menus with updated pricing.

I had a sudden craving for Thai Drunken Noodles and I decided to try Marigold Thai based on their reviews. The service was fantastic (I did online ordering which was very organized and easy to do) they called to confirm when I'd made a mistake. When I entered they were taking additional orders by phone always a good sign. I ordered my noodles Thai Spicy it WAS Thai Spicy and very flavorful with the proper consistency! I ordered with extra beef and added an order of dumplings. I will definitely revisit again!

Marigold Thai is one of my favorite places in all of Mechanicsville. Whether I’m ready to celebrate with friends, or quietly recovering after a hard week—Marigold always makes me feel better. The food is delicious and portion sizes are large. There’s always quiet music going and a calming movie. I recommend it to everyone, especially people with social anxiety. This is a super low-key and delicious dining experience. Try the Massaman Curry or the Noodle Soup with Chicken if you’re not sure where to start, both are mild and delightful.

Food might have been the best Thai I've ever had and even though one guy was running the whole show the service was outstanding, we will be back!

YES! Absolutely love this place. The service was awesome, the vegetarian egg rolls were awesome, the Marigold Fried Rice was BANGING! If you like Thai food you definitely have to try this place!

The yellow curry is the best yellow curry ive ever had by far its so good, I usually get curry once a week for lunch and I wish I could make it over here for lunch id come every week.

Just moved to Virginia from NYC, and excited to get on my Google Maps Reviews grind 😎 first up is Marigold Thai! I don’t have my furniture or silverware delivered yet, so I decided to order some takeout. I called about 45 minutes before closing and he told me it would be around a 45 minute wait because they just got busy. No problem.

As I’m getting into the car about 20 minutes later he calls just to inform me it was ready earlier than expected. Very nice of them to do!

Got there and the greeter was very friendly and helpful, and gave me my pad Vegetable dish, pictured below. I shot right home, and the smells alone were intoxicating 🤤

Food was really good! Great value, great location, place was clean and cozy, and I ate the whole thing in probably about 1.5 minutes. Fair portions and great flavor, really checked all the boxes. Can’t wait to come here again

1 downside: I usually try to leave one thing I didn’t like as a show of being unbiased: the styrofoam and the plastic container are not the most eco-friendly materials, I would’ve loved the paper cartons. I only ordered one item and got two pieces of Unrecycle-able (is that a word?) material. Paper bag instead of plastic was good though!

Green curry with chicken was awesome! Can't wait until I'm in the area again!

Always good food at Marigold Thai! Normally dine there a couple of times a month, great authentic Thai food.
Crab and shrimp fried rice and drunken noodles excellent cuisine

Marigold Thai is my favorite in the area and tonight they again showed me why. Food was delicious as always but it’s the service that sets them apart. Truly the best customer service around and the food is incredible! Cannot recommend them enough.

I'm a regular at this place. You have the freedom to pick and choose how you want your food to come out. For example I usually get drunken noodles, with tofu, fried chicken, extra thai basil, spice level extra thai hot. I even have them bring out the spice rack if I want to torture myself even more. The owner is very polite and respectful and even let us try a new drink on the house which they were going to start serving at a later time. Always a good experience when I go!

This is my new go to place. Love the food.

Loved the healthy delicious food here! Great service.

Oh so good food! Had lunch here, will definitely be back. We shared 2 appetizers: shrimp garden rolls (cold) & dumplings (hot). Generous portions, lovely presentations, plenting of delicious dipping sauce. Both were very fresh with complex flavors. We both had vegetable red curry for the main dish. Loaded with perfectly cooked vegetables, piping hot, delicious. Wait staff was attentive but not hovering. Such a good meal! Couldn't stop talking about it all day.

Had a really great dinner at Marigold Thai! The atmosphere is quiet, beautiful, & welcoming. I haven't had Panang Chicken Curry in forever and had to order it. One of the most amazing Panang Curry in RVA Area. Never tried Drunken Noodles and it was almost (Almost 😜) as the Panang Curry. The service was steady, friendly, and sincere. Truly a special treat for all of those who love great food. Will definitely be back!
