Lime Juice Thai Bistro

So, if you work in the Windward area, you know there are probably five or six Thai places. It’s a little bit ridiculous but great for a Thai food lover like me. I used to work in a bevy of Thai places around town during college. I’ve eaten a plethora of Thai dishes over the years and I have to say, this is one of the best places in the Windward area for Thai.
I find it a little odd that this place has such negative reviews. I’ve never dined in but I always get to go for myself and my coworkers from here. It’s our new favorite place for Thai.
I’ve had their pad woon sen, and I must say, I normally order drunken noodles but they really do pad woon sen justice here. The dish is excellently executed with fragrant spices, perfectly cooked glass noodles, and there is a harmony of flavors from the seafood and the sweet and salty flavors from the sauce. I also pour copious amounts of fish sauce marinaded Thai peppers and it becomes even more delicious. It never needs it but I just love super spicy and fish sauce.
Their papaya salad was on point too. I ordered some along with a side order of satay a couple weeks ago and it was as spicy as I had wanted it to be and the satay wasn’t too sweet but with a smoky flavor and nice punch of curry powder. The cucumber salad was amazing as well.
All in all, this is my favorite place for Thai during lunch time. I’ve never sat down to eat here or anything but if I want Thai, I don’t really stray from going elsewhere unless my coworkers are trying to go to a sit down place.
Get yourself some papaya salad and chicken satay during this hot Summer! Make sure it’s spicy so it’ll stimulate your appetite and cool you down a bit!

Usually I start with the good and then lead into the bad, but this time I have to do the opposite. The last time that I ordered from there I had a nasty looking roach in my fried rice! Yep! It wasn’t a piece of rice that didn’t open that might be confused for a tiny bug. Nope, this was a nasty big roach in the middle of my lovely fried rice. To say that I was disgusted would be an understatement. I immediately called the restaurant to tell the owner/​management/​whoever what had happened. She was rude and hostile and almost hung up on me before I started to threaten to call the health dept. At that point she was at least willing to listen to my complaint, but she absolutely refused to refund my money even though 80% hadn’t been eaten and only halfheartedly agreed to replace it if I brought it back down there. I just laughed because the last thing I wanted was to eat more food from that place.
Now, the sad thing is that I actually like their food. My family and I have been there several times and used to love the takeout menus that they put out front because it always has a coupon inside that you can use at the end of your meal. The food is tasty and the price is excellent if you use the coupon and order only off the lunch menu. You have to make sure that the limit is reached before tax is added or they won’t allow you to use it. I got around this by ordering a soda to go, but the owner was pretty ignorant about it even though I technically met all of their coupon requirements. I was never a fan of their soup, but my kids liked their Coconut soup. Their version of pad thai was actually great tasting which I hate to admit after the bug issue, but it’s true. The fried spring rolls are often hard/​burnt. You have to time it right because they fill up during lunch time and no-​one will acknowledge you or rush to clear a table for you. We used to sometimes stand 10+ minutes at the door without them even attempting to seat us. We’ve seen lots of business people leave without eating because of this. (There’s nowhere to sit while you are waiting, so it’s kind of awkward when you’re invading on another table’s space.)
I should have been wary from the beginning because the tables and counters are sometimes dirty even though they’ve been wiped down. The overall feel of the place is more of a sandwich shop than a sit down restaurant and it doesn’t «feel» clean if that makes sense. You’ll understand what I mean as soon as you walk in. They will also take several CC’s behind the counter and then attempt to match them with the right check. We were even given someone else’s CC by mistake and had to go to the counter to switch them out. I would always suggest that you verify the amount being charged to your card before signing.
Lastly, please go back and read my first paragraph about the bug! Do you really want to eat here? I won’t be back — EVER. My biggest regret is that I ate there. My second biggest regret is that I didn’t call the health department after threatening to. They need to be inspected so that people don’t get sick.

Great service, nice environment, the Nam Sod was perfect and we just loved it. The fried Spring rolls were a bit over dove for my taste. The fried rice was not good at all. My second visit I only ordered the nam sod and told the owner the fried rice was not good. He did not reply to that at all. Unfortunately I have to give them a 3 stars due to the not good fried rice and the failure to comment or even reply to my comment.

This place is perfect for quick great thai food. Owners run it and they are very nice. We visit this place every few weeks.

Super nice staff. Delicious thai tea and homemade limeade. We really enjoyed the pad thai and fried rice too.

Don’t care much for other dishes, but they have the best spicy basil chicken of all thai restaurants i’ve been to (as long as you’re fine with ground chicken instead of strips).

Amazing food and staff. This place has really authentic Thai food, and it tastes AMAZING. I went after my friend recommended me and I’ve been back 6 times since.

Delicious food! The garlic pepper chicken was so tasty. The pad Thai and fried rice were also great! I’ve been here a few times and have been consistently pleased. My go to Thai place!

10 People went here on Friday afternoon and the owner don’t know how to handle this crowd. We have to wait 45 minutes to get our food and everyone’s food was not served at the same time. Some of them have already finished their lunch while few of us still waiting for the order. They messed up 3 of our orders and was very rude when we asked about it.
If you are ok to wait for an hour to get a lousy service then you can go to this place.

We were a group of about 10 people out for a Friday lunch who definitely picked a wrong place! The seat-​in and food orders went pretty smooth and our appetizers were out soon. What followed was a mess. The first order came out almost an hour before the last order which meant we could not enjoy a group lunch. Three orders were messed up followed by the server arguing with us about it and then sighing each time he came out with a lunch plate. I am never going back to this place.

Just recently picked up some Thai food from this restaurant and was extremely disappointed. There was hardly any meat in the dishes and the flavor was very poor. Not sure if there’s a new management but would not consider going back. In the past the food has always been excellent.

Had lunch today and it was great. My sister and I shared the Coconut Soup, Fried Basil Chicken and the Chicken Pad See Ew… it was delicious! I highly recommend this place if you like Thai food.

My sister and I went to eat at Lime Juice Thai Bistro and had a
certificate to use. We ordered extra food and our bill was $ 64.00. The certificate states that it never expires yet the owner wouldn’t honor it and proceeded to tell us that he never signed a contract with the company. If he wanted repeat business from us Thai food lovers, he won’t get it. I called
and he did have a contract with them but chose not to honor any certificates. This restaurant owner was not only dishonest, he will never get our business. We will continue to tell others what he did. If he didn’t want to honor his contract, he could have at least offered a discount. Shame on him. There are other great Thai restaurants like Thai Emerald or Lemon Grass. No wonder his restaurant was entirely empty, unlike the others we frequent.

Sadly but the owners sold the restaurant. Been going there once a week for last 3 years. Love it!
New owners take over on June 15, 2016
Best Thai in Georgia, hands down.
Owners are from Thailand.
Spicy basil chicken is killer
Their spring rolls are made in house as is all their food.

It’s a small restaurant but packs a lot of choice into the lunch and dinner menu. The Fresh Ginger dish is quite tasty — the ginger is balanced and doesn’t overwhelm the dish. For a bigger flavor palate, try the Garlic and Black Pepper.
No liquor license so drinks are nonalcoholic — but the Thai tea is tops!

This was our second visit after our long-​term favorite, Satay House, closed. Modest storefront décor but it’s the food that matters. And the food is just how we like our Thai — spicy and FRESH! Obviously family owned, and they are kind and friendly. Recommended for good casual dining at reasonable prices.

I ordered basil fried rice with vegetables and chicken wings.
The basil fried rice was good and its taste was consistent with basil fried rice I have eaten at other restaurants. It comes prepared at a medium level of spiciness.
Seven dollars for five chicken wings was a disappointment.
Three stars for this visit. There are some other dishes I would like to try from here, but not the wings for my next visit.

We tried this place when we found it on scoutmob. It’s a small inconspicuous place. Inside the décor is simple. Nothing fancy. The service though was pretty much perfect. Our waitress was pleasant and knowledgable. The food turned out to be outstanding. We started with the spring rolls. Once they cooled below a nuclear blast we were rewarded with sublime texture and taste that ramped up our expectations for the main course. I had the duck curry. It was crazy good. Just enough heat to clear the sinuses but full of flavor. The wife had the chicken and rice with curry. It was another excellent choice. We enjoyed the experience enough that we will return. Excellent quality and all around good experience.

This is by far my favorite local Thai restaurant. When moving to the area, it was one of the first things I tried. I have gone back so many times that every waitress there remembers my order as soon as I walk through the door.
My mom and I routinely order our pad Thai with EXTRA lime and it always seems to please. For an after meal sweet, I actually order a cucumber salad that is refreshing after a somewhat heavy meal.
Whenever I have a bad day, I always count on Lime Juice for my comfort food.

Scout Mob led us to Lime Juice. I’m a sucker for a good deal and have been on the hunt for great pad Thai since moving to Georgia. It didn’t hurt that Antiques and Interiors is right next door, either.
Armed with low expectations, I got the pad Thai… and have gotten it literally every time since. Just once we also tried the drunken noodles. Disappointed. Tasted really fishy to me… though there isn’t seafood in it I’m guessing they use fish sauce? Great Thai tea completes any meal here. Thanks to Scout Mob, I’m a fan and will return again and again!
