When the facade of a building crashed into Singha it crushed much more than just the restaurant. It also crushed my dreams of Thai spicy cashew chicken. I realize that may sound a little dramatic, but I loved that dish. For the past year I have tried many different versions of that dish, but none came close to Singha. The new version of Singha is completely different. The staff appear to be all new and the building does not have the funky charm of the old location. I visited one day right when they opened and was seated with no issue. As my meal continued I saw the restaurant go from half full to completely full with a wait for a table. This all happened in a matter of a few minutes so make sure and come during off peak times. Service was friendly and prompt just like the old location. The only thing I missed was the old staff who would remember that I really did like my food as hot as they could possibly make it. It always takes a few trips before servers at a Thai place accept that you can handle that level of spice, but I am pretty convincing. The food was good. Not as good as the original, but my cashew chicken had hints of greatness. I wish it had been a little spicier, but that will come in time. It also seemed as if the sauce was not as rich as the old version, but I still thoroughly enjoyed it. The entire meal took under 30 minutes which was impressive considering how busy they got after I was seated. Street parking was a pain, but that won't keep me away. If you miss Singha, just want some Thai food and you've only got a brief time, head to Singha.

Very sorry to hear this, same thing happened to me. I gave them a call and they were very concerned and eager to make it right. They re-made my food and it was the delicious Thai food I expect from Singha.

- The service was very good. Polite, courteous, friendly The food was average at best: - The Tom Kha soup with chicken was frothy. Almost like they heated it up with one of those steam machines at starbucks. The broth was too sweet and there wasn't enough

I ordered green curry from here it was bland and very runny. I'll order from suko thai next time never Had bad curry from there. I will say it came out in a timely manor and the staff is very friendly

The pad Thai is disgusting. I don't think you can even call it pad Thai. It's horrible. Do not eat here. The spring rolls were pretty awful too

I'm here on business and it's Fat Tuesday at 7PM. Walk down to Bourbon Street and nothing is available for seating. So we walk back to the Hyatt to find this gem. We go inside and the staff was cleaning. We were seated and they barely spoke English. Being vegetarian, they made me a Papaya salad without shrimp or fish sauce. It was so good but fiery hot - but I kept eating it. I had Singha beer and the Tofu Pad Kee Mao: deliciousssss. Cooked perfectly. My coworker had beefskirt and a MaiTai. He didn't like the Mai Tai so sweet..so they took it off the bill. Straightforward non fancy place for classic Thai food. Service was slow.. But it is the South and we were ravenous. I'd come back.

I've loved this place since it was across from One Shell Square. About 3a one morning, the 3 stories above it collapsed into it and first, thank goodness it was 3a and second, it took them a long time to relocate. I love the pad Thai and the pad something that has the crunchy noodles. Spring rolls are super good too (I'm a spring roll fiend. Show me one and I'll follow you anywhere). Staff is always attentive and I always thought the lunch crowd was pleasantly lively. Fun fact: there's an adult private club a few doors down! By the time you finish eating (late), you can go get your groove on (byob)!

Thai in New Orleans? I know but it was close to hotel. Not as spicy as I would prefer but enjoyed the tofu salad. Basil sauce was refreshing. Wouldn't hesitate to eat her in a pinch again.

Best Thai in the city hands down. I didn't realize they had reopened after sadly losing their place on Carondelet a few years ago. So delighted they are back. They use fresh ingredience. The dishes are perfectly seasoned. The portions seem bigger. I'd rather have a smaller portion becuse the food is so good I want to eat the whole dish in one sitting. The ginger fish and Carondelet shrimp are a must try. So is the fried calamri. Lightly battered crunchy little morsels perfectly accompanied by a sweet and sour dipping sauce. Can't wait to go back.

HORRIBLE, NAUSEATING, RIP OFF! The single worst restaurant I've ever encountered in New Orleans, the absolute worst Thai food I've had anywhere. I would have given this a 'minus 5 stars' rating, if that had been an option. It's one thing to be disappointed with a restaurant, however at Singha I felt as though someone had robbed me of my money with the old 'bait and switch' con, offering one thing and delivering something entirely else. I would have sent it back and asked for a refund, but it was a 'to go' order that I called in and drove halfway across town to pick up, after reading the positive reviews on this page (which, I now believe could only have been written by the restaurant's owners or investors). If any of you (a) hustling, charlatans and swindlers or (b) utter food morons who wrote these lies are reading this, I hope you spend your afterlife in a place where you are forced to eat this food. I've had more authentic Thai dishes at those Chinese lunch buffets that offer all the food poison you can eat for $5.95. But these tiny portions of inedible swill came at full dinner menu prices - my yellow curry with shrimp was $15.95 and wouldn't have satisfied a hungry seagull. The (6) small shrimp were quite obviously frozen (freezer burned) and not of the local Gulf variety, which are abundant in this city everywhere else. The few julienned carrots and potatoes had the mushy consistency of leftovers that originally came from a giant Costco bag in a deep freezer, had been cooked, frozen again, thawed and reheated in a microwave. The bland curry sauce suffered from the same malady, the coconut milk taking on the appearance of scalded milk, solids separating from the oils, staining the disgusting grayish rice which appeared to have been cooked a week or so earlier. It wasn't just a problem with this one dish, either. The Tom Kha had mushrooms that looked like they came from a can and several sprigs of cilantro that had turned black and slimy in the refrigerator long before they added them to the soup. The piece of lemongrass even looked brown as though, it too had spoiled prior to being cooked. The broth was way, way too sweet (corn syrup?) and I swear, I thought I detected a slight scent of cat urine. I spit out the one spoonful I put in my mouth. The dumplings were the only thing that I could actually eat - which I did very cautiously and only because I was starving - but they were also of the Costco, giant bag, frozen variety (precisely portioned filling, identical, uniform, made-by-machine, not-by-hand appearance). Sure, they were small, tasteless, rubbery - but barely tolerable, when drowned in the two tiny cups of dipping sauce (which I had to ask for) and sriracha that I had at home. The best thing I can say about either the dumplings or the dipping sauce is that they were not spoiled and didn't make me ill. My sriracha added some much-needed heat and flavor. Thank god, I usually keep some of this stuff on hand. How Singha has stayed open in a city that offers some of the best cuisine in the world is a mystery, but the sooner this place shuts it's doors for good, the better off the diners of New Orleans will be. Avoid at any cost. Go hungry, rather than make the mistake I did.

Absolutely delicious, authentic meal. Fresh and well cooked with wonderful options on the menu. The staff is so friendly and the atmosphere is comfortable, clean and very beautiful. It's a little gem in downtown New Orleans CBD area. Bet it's packed at lunch and will become my go-to thai restaurant for take out or to dine in. Also extremely reasonably priced!!!

Not a good experience!!! I live on the same block, and I've been meaning to stop in since its recent opening. Nice bartender. I ordered the combination Pad Thai (beef chicken shrimp), and requested no beef, just add more chicken or shrimp instead. A to-go dinner order. I paid $16.40 not including the bartender's $3 tip for water. I quickly checked the box prior to leaving, and noticed the meat was under the huge amount of noodles, but failed to look closer. When I got home, this is what I found.... A huge box full of barely moist noodles, 2 medium sized shrimp, and less than a half of a single chicken strip cut into small pieces. No kidding. $20 wasted. Surprised, I called and spoke with the manager, who informed me they serve 2 shrimp because of the high price of shrimp. No mention of the reason behind the half chicken strip portion. Maybe they need to use another shrimp and chicken supplier? Very disappointed because I could've gone to another restaurant in the area and received much more shrimp, chicken as a Pad Thai side dish!!! Also, I'm sure the VietOrleans restaurant next door could've prepared something similar at normal portions for less than $12. I doubt if I will return to this place. Very pissed at having to eat dry, mediocre tasting noodles tonight when I'd been craving shrimp all day. I just attached a photo of my box o noodles...

ITS BACK! Im so happy Singha opened back up (in a new location). The old place came to a pretty dramatic end when renovations on a building nearby collapsed on to their building, thankfully at night when no one was in the restaurant. All downtown workers that day went to work a little sadder knowing that our beloved Singha was no more. Now its back! New location, same good food. Is it out-of-this-world awesome Thai? No. But its pretty darn good, and its a nice change from salads and sandwiches for lunch. Their pad thai is really good, and they are pretty flexible about changing up their dishes for dietary accommodations... I dont like meat they are cool with subbing in tofu or shrimp for most meals. They also do catering for lunch meetings. Ive used them several times and the food was delivered on time and correctly. Yay Singha!
(3)Everett B.
The food here is decent, nothing special but it passes. Make sure you ask for anything you order spicy if you like spicy thai food, as their regular is not spicy at all. 3 stars for good service and a great location, but average food.
(3)Krista W.
This is my favorite place to eat Thai food. The owners and staff are all very friendly and nice. They treat me like family when I am there to eat. Everything I have had to eat is delicious, and I'm trying to get something new each time! Will keep going back! Need to try the whole menu!!
(5)Monica S.
I had a great experience here! Good food despite being a little pricier than other places. I had the vegetable tempura for an appetizer and the chili noodle combo for the main course. Both were cooked very well and full of flavor! The service was excellent and efficient and I never had an empty glass of water for too long. The waitresses were very sweet and always served with a smile. I recommend this place if you want some good Thai comfort food!
(4)Lilo N.
Very close to our hotel on Baronne street! It was a great find. Tasty Thai cuisine and amazing cocktails . Our waitress was lovely and very informative on things to see and do in New Orleans!

In the heart of the city I stumbled upon this joint. Walking in at first glance you will be anticipating an authentic meal. Looking over the menu, your mouth will water. But this is where the love affair ends. half the appetizers and entrées arrive simultaneously, and at first bite you'll realize you've just agreed to pay good money for a plate that is less then mediocre. If you have already ended up here order the spring rolls, they are flavorful and are a fair price. As for me, I think I'll take my next meal at good karma.
(2)Claire M.
So yummy, I almost drank my remaining sauces. Only took off one star bc the Tom Nua beef was blah but otherwise, really good food and quick service. Dumplings are divine.
(4)Chris W.
Please don't order from here. Worst and most expensive Thai food I've ever had and I've tried several Thai food restaurants. Ordered pad Thai, pad kee mao and crab rangoons. Best part was the rangoons which are hard to mess up. Noodles were super dry and bland. Chicken was dry as well and everything lacked sauce and seasoning. Again, please don't order from here. Id rather order a Big Mac than try this again.
(1)Stan D.
The food here is very good, but it's not what I am accustomed to in regard to "Thai" food. I expect the food to be spicier, and have more peppers in it. Maybe this is just their version, but it seems fairly modified for "American" tastes. The first thing you might notice, (after the beautiful decor, that is), is that there are no salt and pepper shakers, no soy sauce bottles, and no other condiments on the table. That's to keep you from "messing" with their already perfectly seasoned recipes, and the recipes are perfectly seasoned. My problems with this restaurant have nothing to do with the food. The food is fantastic, flavorful, and a delightful variation from the usual New Orleans cuisine. My problem with this restaurant has more to do with things the restaurant has little control over - the noise. When we were there, it was so LOUD we could not even hear our waitress standing two feet from us. Since the walls and ceilings are solid brick, all it takes is one or two loud people like during a lunch rush, and it gets louder than a football game in there. When we were there, the noise remained very loud, but waxed and waned a bit. At one table of six, there was one loud businessman whose loud voice made others around him talk louder, and then other people in the restaurant were forced to raise their voices to be heard over him. When another table came in with a woman just as loud, and just as unconcerned about the level of her voice, the place became impossible. In that regard, it did add some authenticity to the place because it came to sound like some foreign outdoor market in the Far East. Anyway, the noise is not something the restaurant has much control over, unless they want to insulate the walls, and hang acoustic tiles. It is probably something every diner will have to deal with when visiting during busy times. Either that, or take it out, but, when you do that, you lose the experience of the restaurant's ambience. The food is very tasty, and well-prepared, but not spicy enough for me with no options to make it spicier. I would definitely eat here again, or at least recommend it to others without my capacity for spicy heat. I would not, however, go out of my way to come here again, and the thought of all that noise would be enough to make me consider another dining option.

My friends and I came here for lunch after a long hot walk from the cemetery. It was nice to try Thai food not from your home town and switch it up from the Cajun. The service was great. She was sweet and very attentive. We started with the fried tofu, spring rolls, and dumplings. All were delicious. Main courses we tore it up. Yellow curry, pad see ew, lad nah, combination fried rice (I always judge a thai place based on the fried rice and it was tasty) and a shrimp dish. We all were happy campers and left thinking we would definitely come back when in town again.

Tonight my husband took me to Singha Thai on Baronne for dinner. I ordered the Mango Shrimp Salad. There was NO mango on the salad! When I said there is no mango on this salad, they apologized and then brought out a dish of some fruit that you could not eat because it was hard as a rock. The waitress saw I did not eat my salad but charged us full price anyway. We will NEVER go back.

I soooooo wanted to like this place after reading such great reviews. I've been stuck nights working out of my hotel room, and this place is right across the street, so I was looking forward to something better than room service or pizza. I ordered crispy spring rolls and pad thai with chicken. Came out fairly fast, but once I was back in my room with my sweats on and ready to eat, I discovered they left out the sauce for the rolls, which was really needed, since the rolls tasted like they went from the freezer to the fryer--definitely not fresh made. The pad thai tasted like it had been mixed with a watered down sriracha sauce; I've never had spicy pad thai. Definitely not a fan. It was clearly not the typical (and much beloved) sweeter version we all know and love. No veggies in it, either, except for 3 limp 1-inch cuts of green onion. No bean sprouts, onions or anything. Just noodles in that weird sauce, tons of dry chicken, also in that weird sauce, a couple pieces of egg (I hope that was egg), and peanuts. I was already settled in to eat and work, so I went ahead and ate it, but man, what a disappointment.
(2)Camille P.
Omg, love this place. The combination pad thai made spicy will leave you numb and happy! The nail chicken is light and hits the lunch spot sans the Nola nap so common to most food here. I also like the shrimp dumplings and by the way the maitai is sinful!
(4)Christina T.
I've been twice within less than a week. Both times I ordered the Singh Shrimp which is a special but I think it really should be a part of the menu. It's a spicier version of sweet and sour shrimp only better....very busy during lunch time. I was also able to try the combination rice which was pretty good as well.
(5)James F.
Singha used to be my "go to" Thai spot. I dunno what happened but I just picked up food and something has changed and definitely for the worse. Dry pad thai tasted funky, Panang that's just not noteworthy. And they are skimping on all ingredients. Maybe they got a new cook or maybe it changed hands? However, one thing did not change, the price of the once exceptional food. Sadly, my favorite Thai spot was destroyed so needless to say, I won't be going back here. Bummer-Drag.
(2)Michael B.
Glad we found this family run Thai place! Authentic and tasty and if you speak Thai, the owner will cook some nice off-the-menu specialties for you ;-) We had Papaya Salad (made with crab), Basil Scallops (chef specialty) and Mixed Seafood Tom Yum Soup. Everything was hot, fresh and delicious!
(5)Lizzie G.
Very fresh ingredients, excellent service, clean, pleasant atmosphere. Great menu selection and flavors and spices. Plenty of vegetables in each dish. Shrimp carondelet was delicious. Good for vegetarians and vegans.
(4)Dustin S.
Best meal I've eaten in a very long time. Ordered Basil Chicken and Tom Kai soup and they verified both were Gluten Free for me. I wish I could have found this before today. I'd have eaten here multiple times the last few days while in town.
(5)Mardi C.
new location is sweet. had a wonderful dinner here, my usual drunken noodle, four stars. fresh spring rolls and some wine. so glad you reopened, as you are an institution of thai goodness in a city that hardly has any thai at all
(4)Janae N.
They have a fast & good lunch. The service was good but my waitress didn't speak much English.
(4)Amber D.
Continuing my Thai tour of America during a work trip to New Orleans. The place was dead at 7:30 on a Wednesday night and I got takeout. The panang curry (with chicken) was delicious. I didn't specify a heat level but it was pleasantly spicy (and I usually err on the milder side). Only downside was the hair in the curry. Gross, but the food was delicious enough that it didn't ruin the experience for me.
(4)Kimberly A.
It's back!!!! Get excited Nola, my favorite downtown Thai restaurant is back. We all love living here with our rich history and culture and all. Until our rich history means that the building next door literally collapses in the middle of the night on the Thai restaurant you have come to love and adore. Singha Thai didn't let that stop them though. After more than a year, they have reopened at a location a few blocks away (in hopefully, a more stable building code environment). This is a small operation churning out nice Thai food at a very reasonable price. I'm madly in love the the cashew chicken and would eat it every single day if others weren't so judgmental. If you're in a hurry, call ahead 10 minutes before you arrive and they will have the food waiting for you. Super friendly staff that move fast to get you your food.
(4)Krishna P.
Had the pad thai with tofu and chicken. Taste was good, nothing out of this world, but still pretty solid. I would not hesistate to recommend the place as a quick, decent, thai place for lunch or dinner.
(3)Cassie L.
Ordered ginger chicken to go. Very good. Excited to try the food again in the restaurant.
(5)David T.
Love this place- been looking for it since it moved- very consistent, you always know that your order is very well prepared- one of the best Thai spots in NOLA
(5)Myra E.
It's clear Papa M is intentionally sabotaging this restaurant, Singha. I have been a regular at Singha since it opened at the old location. The food and the service are always Excellent! Because I'm often there during off-peak times, I know personally that all spring rolls, both fresh and fried, all dumplings, and all food is made fresh every day. I've regularly seen the staff making the spring rolls and dumplings when I'm there, both at the old and the new locations. The sauces are what make the food--they are so amazingly flavorful, and consistent--far superior in taste and consistency to other Thai restaurants. All menu items are so good, it's not unusual for me to tell the waitress to choose for me--I could easily do "Eenie, Meenie, Minie, Moe" and be happy with anything I get. The service is always fast, simply because the kitchen is so organized (it was in clear view at the old location). The wait staff is always on top of all your needs. One couldn't ask for better Thai food or service. Oh, I love the personalized serving dishes and dinner plates too, nice touch!
