Tip Thai Restaurant in Dumbarton - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Talked to one of the great ladies there. She's from Bankok originally so everything's very authentic, very good.

Always good food. Usually do takeout.

Decided to order on a whim because they're close to where I work, and I was not disappointed! I got the Massaman Cury, and it is absolutely delicious. I will absolutely be coming back, and will be telling my coworkers and friends about this place!

So it was Admin professionals day this week and i was gifted a door dash gift card. Perfect! I thought...I could order my faves...well idk what happened here but my food is er...over cooked. And the staff used to be way friendlier. Makes me so bummed out. (And I always tip them, don't I feel silly now!)

I ordered it through Grubhub because there was a 4.7 review. The worst Drunken noodles I’ve ever eaten and I have eaten a lot of drunken noodles! Zero flavor the vegetables are undercooked the noodles are overcooked, and the shrimp doesn’t look like they were cooked at all. Threw it in the garbage it’s just trash.

Best Thai food in Richmond, my wife and I have enjoyed their food since they opened and brought my whole family here many times no complaints absolutely delicious I recommend tip tie to anyone, no one can to the delicious food and wonderful staff.

Girlfriend and I come here for lunch quite often. Food and service is always excellent and reasonably priced.

It was ok, they close at 2:30 and open later for dinner. I had the curry chicken, supposed to be 3 star extra spicy but it was not nearly as hot as I was expecting. I don't do much Thai but I'm glad it's an option if I ever want to try them again. $18 after 12% tip.

Cannot say enough good things about this restaurant. We had the chicken satay, crispy spring rolls, shrimp pad Thai, chicken fried rice, tofu green curry, and mango sticky rice (the star of the meal - do not leave without it!). Everything was delicious. The best Thai food I have had in Richmond. Service was friendly, quick, and attentive.

We really enjoyed our dinner here!!! We started with fried vegetable spring rolls and Tom Kha (tofu) soup. The soup was AMAZING!!! Made fresh in house and you could tell because of all the fresh spices. My husband ordered the See Ew with tofu. I was jealous because his had the flavor I was craving tonight but my dish the Pad Rad Nah had a very good flavor. Definitely want to return to try all their other dishes!

The Pad Thai was mostly rice noodles (90% of the dish) and tasted strongly of vinegar, very little chicken and few vegetables. Neither my friend nor I were able to finish it due to the unpleasant taste. For the price we wanted it to be vibrantly flavored, with more vegetables and chicken. We were hungry shortly after and had to eat elsewhere. Maybe the other dishes are good, but we won't eat here again 😔

Got the Pad See Ew and Pineapple Fried Rice. The portions were generous. The food was flavorful and tasty. I asked for medium spicy and it was enough for me. Will be back next time. I forgot to take a picture of the Pad See Ew.

I’ve been searching for a solid Thai place since moving to Richmond and finally found it!!!!! Had the satay, dumplings, pad thai and mango sticky rice and it was all authentic and DELICIOUS! I am so happy I found this place I’ll be back very soon!!!!

Got takeaway last night. Cannot get more authentic than this.

quiet, quaint, pleasant, and delicious food. i had the chicken massaman curry and split the tip appetizer sampler and mango and sticky rice - everything was amazing.

Lunch was good however quantity is very less

Nice place for Thai food. Great Service. My friends and I went on a weekday afternoon and it wasn’t crowded and the food was great. Decent price. Recommend.

Really good food, decent prices, and a cute atmosphere. This is a great restaurant.

Wonderful food, atmosphere and people!!

We definitely enjoyed our food. We ordered to go and it was very easy to pick up.

Food is always good and ready on time. Sad we didn't get free dessert this time, guess we got spoiled. Love the tofu and peanut sauce and really good pad thai.

One of the best Thai food i ever ate in United States of America. Very Authentic and owned by Thai couple, warm hospitality, good service with heart. Reasonable price with the portion and tatse 👍😋

Absolutely amazing little out-of-the-way Thai restaurant. The single woman (the ONLY ONE!) that works here is absolute GEM. She was so kind and efficient in bringing us our food. Everything is grown by her or locally sourced, and it is clearly reflected in the food. My date and I ordered the crab/chicken dumpling appetizer, expecting to wait no less than 20 minutes. She had it out in less than 10, plated BEAUTIFULLY, and steaming hot. I wish we had taken photos. I changed my mind about the carrot garnish and devoured it because of the sauce. I've hated carrots since I was a kid. The Drunken Noodles are amazing as well. Spiced perfectly, fresh ingredients, perfectly cooked noodles. Absolutely lives up to the name. The Tip Fried Rice is also absolutely a main dish - the serving size was *bountiful* and spared no small bit of shrimp. My date absolutely raved about it while we ate. What amazes me is that we were the only ones there during dinner rush hours! There's plenty of seating, and an absolutely gorgeous atmosphere. Perfect date night spot - we're DEFINITELY returning.

I don't know what is wrong with some people. THIS IS THE BEST THAI RESTAURANT IN THE CITY. I have been going there for over 15 years. I almost always get the same thing because I love it. Red Curry Chicken and the best fresh spring rolls.

Very good i had a vegan: tofu pad thai super spicy like i asked !!

The food was absolutely excellent. The service was polite, prompt, and helpful in terms of learning the different options. Highly recommend this restaurant. Can’t wait to go back.

Amazing food. Highly recommend them. GO

Mediocre at best. Asked for medium spicy and didnt see a single red pepper flake. Barely any chicken in my weirdly sweet drunken noodles. Orange chicken tasted almost smokey. Overall just bland and boring food that's overpriced.

I gave 5 stars just to leave a comment here. I was excited to come and the reviews look great but just beware they are closed on Mondays! I’ll try to come again another day.

Always excellent. Been eating here for years on regular basis. Many favorite recipes.

First time eating Thia food was very tasty...nice clean restaurant. Will go here again.

I've savored two delightful dining experiences here: dining in and takeout. Both were top notch! The service here was impeccable, too. The Tip appetizer sampler was beautifully arranged and equally as tasty. We enjoyed the accompanying dipping sauces too. All of the apps were good but the chicken satay skewers were perfectly marinated and cooked, making it my favorite. I also loved the cream cheese rangoons. I cannot get enough of their Tom Yum Goong soup (shrimp and mushrooms). It's bright and full of lemongrass and lime flavors; definitely on the acidic/sour side which I love! I even took some to go after dining in! 😄 It was just as tasty for lunch the next day. For dessert, we shared their house made coconut ice cream w jackfruit and mango sauce. It was light, bright, and refreshing like all of their dishes! Highly recommend checking out Tip Thai!

I've been coming here for over 10 years. Best Thai food around.

We always enjoy our food! Tofu Rama and Pad Thai are just 2 of the things we love :)

bad customer service, don’t get any dish with chicken, it seems like they have old chicken and is hard and rubbery..

Honesty the best meal I have had in years. They have a customer for life

Pretty yummy. If you can handle your spice, ask for 4 or 5 stars.

Spot on traditional thai food. Definitely finds it's place in the rotation of great thai in the area. Don't be afraid to go a little spicy. Can't wait to go back and try the duck.

Best Thai food in Virginia. The crispy basil duck is amazing. The service is wonderful.

I was perplexed with the ratings for this place as some were very complementary and some were unhappy - and I now understand why. I got the Hor Mok Gai and the Massaman Curry. I tried the Hor Mok Gai and it was amazing. A very unique dish that was savory, tasty, and full of vegetables and great chicken. I was blown away. Then I tried the Massaman curry and understood why some diners were unhappy. The carrots were clearly frozen vegetables and the portion size seemed small for the price. I was already planning to add some stir fry veggies I already made to the massaman to have as a large lunch for the next day and I'm glad I did. Adding my own vegetables made the dish a lot better. I think using fresh carrots instead of frozen would've gone a long way to make it better. I ordered online and picked up in the restaurant. The staff member was very polite and the interior was nice. The food tipped over in my car and none of it spilled so I know they did a great job packaging it.

I’ve heard really good things about this restaurant from friends so I was excited to finally eat here. I ordered the drunken noodles and they were not good. I was super excited because I could smell them through the bag but when I tasted it they were bland and the noodles had a weird almost sour after taste. The portion size was good and the chicken in the dish didn’t taste weird, just the noodles, but this definitely did not hit the spot for me.

I am not sure why this little place wasn't packed. Food was terrific. If back in Richmond I'll definitely try again.

This place is amazing, food is great ingredients are fresh. Definitely worth it

The good was that they were one of the few Richmond Thai Restaurants which offered duck and the Thai iced tea was the least expensive around. Too sweet was the Chicken Rama curry and too salty was the Crispy duck sauce. The broccoli and green beans were under cooked. Meh.

Exquisite, Elegant, Beautiful Thai cuisine. The food is poetic. The flavor of tradition and history. 10 Stars.........

My favorite Thai food place .. their lunch combos are pocket friendly and yummy.. Ginger perfect chicken is a must try item in their menu..

I am so glad they opened their dine in back! Hands down my favorite Thai place in and around Richmond. The food was perfectly cooked, the server is very friendly. The lunch is served with a soup or a salad. Their Thai Tea is really yumm too!! 5/5 for this one. Been to a lot of Thai places - Chedar, Thai Diner, Ratee thai etc. but nothing can be compared to the food you get here!

Awesome taste. All the regular Thai foods plus others. I love the spice guide in the menu.

1st timers here. Wasn't disappointed! Our waitress was helpful with recommendations & top notch. Food was excellent! We will return.

Been coming to get takeout from here for a few years now. Always get what I ask for, the food is great, the portions are very generous, and it’s always ready very quickly.

Ordered fried rice and beef salad. They are so cheap with the meat. Like, just give one more ounce. Sheesh.

Today was my first time visiting. My hubby and I ordered the Shrimp Cracker and Ginger Perfect. OMG delicious everything was. Freshly made and accurate ready time. Customer service was amazing. I enjoyed every bite. I look forward to visiting again.

First time eating here and it was really good! The ginger perfect stir fry had just the right amount of ginger and my husband enjoyed his pad thai, the best part was the spring rolls... delicious!

Saturday night after a few freezing days it was nice for a takeout meal... The fancy pictures at their website of Drunken noodles w/shrimp, Kao Pad Karie (stir fried rice w/beef) massaman curry w/beef that we couldn’t resist and....unfortunately what we received it is how we call it the “kitchen sink”. All three meals prepared with the same vegetables (crinkled carrots, beans, peas from the frozen bag) and I still cannot understand the chunks of tomatoes that was part of these meals!!! I still have a big question in my head...WHY? It looked poorly made by adding the frozen veggies to make it up for the meal! It was not appetizing at all...I will suggest to find a different local place in the area where actually the curry and pad Kee mao taste like one!

Our favorite Thai food in the Richmond area! My husband and I love the food here and with such an extensive menu, there's a lot to try! We ordered food from Tip Thai on Valentine's day and they even gave us a delicious complimentary dessert! Highly recommend this place!

Everything here is DELICIOUS. Give the calamari a try!

Food was pretty on point! Go see for yourself!

All good so far... must return for more

Delicious food. I just moved to the neighborhood and I am so happy to have authentic Thai close by. I got Pad Kapow. They game me delicious banana with honey dessert for free with order. I will be going back.

So nice and they gave me a free dessert. Will definitely be going back. The food was really good and as a Thai person, it was definitely authentic. My first time and definitely not my last!

Great food! I have been eating from this restaurant and It is one of my favorites. Food is delicious and the place is always neat. You can tell where you go the the bathroom that staff truly care about cleanliness.

The right level of spicy for me- very spicy

Delicious! Fresh, authentic Thai cuisine cooked perfectly. Great service! Highly recommend the mango curry.

The food was not that great. Prices were good though. I asked for a mild taste in spice and received way over what I asked.

We were attending a funeral nearby and FOUND this JEWEL: the FOOD came prepared so FRESH and HOT and YES "DELICIOUS" the Thai wings are now a FAV, so krispy, had the lettuce wraps......LOVED as well and we both got a soup mine was ginger/tofu in coconut mllk with lemon - YUM and hubs got one with shrimp/mushrooms and a bit of spice WE LOVED it all, and service was great..

Great food. Nice staff. Reasonable prices.

Always a delight to dine here !

Spicy Thai fried rice with chicken and egg is my favorite. Try it

Excellent food! The food is fresh and consistent. No matter what I order, it is the same every time. I love this place!

Very nice place and nice people

I love this place. My 1st choice when I want to go out for lunch. Good lunch menu for a very reasonable price and good taste.

One of the better Thai places in Richmond. Nothing stands out, but everything is consistently good

Great food, never ate inside, always looks empty. Keep going back to pork drunken noodles and Thai Tea. So good!

Fast and friendly service with good food at a great price. The lunch special is the way to go, and while I thought their version of hot was REALLY hot, they don't make everything hot; the mild is not at all spicy. (Medium is a true medium and is juuuust right.) If you need a filling meal for about $10 in less than an hour, this is your place!

Nice place, good Thai food, huge menu and great service.

Very average Thai food, not spicy enough.

Excellent family friendly atmosphere, awesome ✌🏼😎 food, Friendly 😊 service, delicious yet healthy food 🥘 choices, Reasonably priced 💵 with Lots of Gluten-Free options 🎉. Definitely coming back again soon.

Food and service excellent as usual

Not very pleasant, but service is fast for to-go orders. My food was ready in less than five minutes. Their Pad Thai tastes different from most Thai restaurants. I'm not sure if that is a good or bad thing. It depends on what you like. I'm not a fan. They sent me away with a fork and didn't bother to ask if I wanted chopsticks. Personally, I don't eat noodles without chopsticks. So, that was a little annoying. Thankfully, I have plenty at home. The Thai tea tastes great, but the to-go cup is really small. Had I known before paying, I would have ordered two. You likely get more when eating in.

Always clean, good service and great food.

Delicious food, neat and clean place

Great place! From the first steps felt very neat and clean. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I ordered Drunken noodles with pork very tasty. Also had Sathay Chicken very tender and delicious. Overall the food was prepared with decent attention to details. Definitely will come back again!

Everytime I go here to eat it is always great. Only wish is for them to open at 4:30 instead of 5 for dinner. I like to pick food up after work.

Great dinner in very comfortable atmosphere with very courteous service, definitely recommend

A hidden gem. Everything is amazing. Eaten here twice and will continue to eat here as often as possible. If you enjoy Thai, it's a must try.

Really good food and very nice staff. When they say spicy they mean spicy for sure. Their medium version of drunken noodles was great. Their curry with coconut curry we so smooth.

Have been enjoying meals here since they opened.The food quality is so consistent AND delicious. They continue to update their menu and are very accommodating about preparing the selections to fit your personal degree of "heat"

My daughter, the son-in-law, and I were returning from an errand in an unfamiliar part of Richmond, VA and were looking for a simple place to ear. The Tip Thai was an impulse choice, and we were not sorry for our decision. We were the last customers of the evening. Our food was, for the most part, made to order from fresh ingredients. The spring rolls were made beforehand. We all ordered vegetarian/chicken dishes and enough to take home for the next day's lunch. Altogether we had an appetizer plate - steamed dumplings on a lettuce leaf, satay chicken, wontons, spring rolls, fried dumplings - fried rice, Pad Thai, lettuce rolls, and some chopped chicken platter. Our waitress was pleasant, able to explain items, and efficient. She also checked us out. Prices were a little on the pricey side.

Great food. Love the dish with crispy basil over deep fried chicken.

Wow...been here many times and is the best around in my opinion. Always quiet and nice atmosphere. Try the lemongrass pork!!!

Acceptable thai food at reasonable prices. No frills.

Food is really great. Authentic. Delicious. Spicy as you want it.

Taken here by a friend who wanted to try Thai food. Our first time eating at Tip Thai. The restaurant was not busy so we were quickly seated and drink orders taken. The menu selection is huge but the owner is more than willing to help you with a selection. We ordered Kanom Jeeb, Tom Kha Gai, Pad Thai, and Pad Spicy Eggplant, and it exceeded our expectations. I am a skeptic of when they say spicy as I find that too often the "spicy is cut back." Not here. Our food was fresh, hot and delicious with large portions. We had enough to take home half of both entrees. We definitely will return for the lexcellent Thai and clean environment.

Great service. Food was very good. Answered our questions about the food.

Worth the first visit. Will come back next time in town.

Great food, excellent selections and wonderful staff.

Great food with tons of variety. They also have a heat rating system that is easy to understand and use.

Best yellow curry and red curry I have ever had. Absolutely delicious! I come back often and only wish they had another location in the city so they would be closer!!!! (although that might be both a blessing and a curse!!! )
