Secret’s Out about Secret Thai Restaurant in Chalmette
Reviews
I highly suspect the ingredients might not have been fresh because of the smell – it strongly resembled rotten eggs. When I asked the staff if that was the intended scent, they confirmed it was. It is possible this is just the traditional style, but the egg smell was so dominant and unbearable that it was the sole reason I had to leave the food behind.
The spice levels here range from 0 to 5 with increments of 0.5. I ordered a 3, and honestly, it was not at all spicy. The portion sizes are huge – much more than necessary – but even that couldn’t compensate for the smell. Despite usually never wasting food, the scent was simply too much to handle.
Food and Drink
The Ghost Pad Thai is the main draw here, but be warned that it has an extremely strong, sulfur-like egg aroma that can be very off-putting. While the portion sizes are very generous, I had to leave the meal unfinished purely because of the unbearable smell. Regarding the heat, the spice levels (0-5 scale) seem mild; a level 3 had almost no kick at all. If you are looking for heat or are sensitive to strong egg scents, you might want to look elsewhere.
Every bite was an explosion—like fireworks of flavor going off in my soul.
But the real star?
The crab rangoons.
Life. Changing.
The staff was lovely, Incredible service, incredible food, and I’m already planning my next obsession-level visit.
10/10. Five stars. I would give them my social security number.
We also got the massaman curry, which was so fragrant and rich. The egg rolls are huge and clearly handmade. Definitely a step above your standard takeout egg roll. Tom Kha (not pictured) was so creamy and authentic tasting.
Now, a word of warning: the spice levels here are NO joke. I usually go for a medium spice at other Thai places, so I ordered a ‘1’ here. My husband, who loves heat, thinks ‘3’ is spicy, ‘4’ is very spicy and ‘5’ is sweating spicy (TUMS required). So, definitely err on the side of caution when ordering spice here. I’d say a ‘0.5’ is more like a standard medium.
The atmosphere is really cute and eclectic. It’s not a fancy place, but it’s cozy and colorful. The staff was friendly and attentive. And the Thai tea? Delicious! So creamy and flavorful.
Overall, I’d definitely recommend Secret Thai as an all around good Thai restaurant. The food is great, the atmosphere is charming, and the prices are reasonable. Be prepared for 3 days of leftovers!
EDITED TO ADD:
Basil fried rice is incredibly flavorful and delicious. Has a sweetness. Personally I would chose over the tbaj fried rice.
Ghost gate pad Thai (omelet on top) is superb, it’s somehow the same but different. I find the egg soaks up the sauce and becomes even more flavorful.
Green curry was tasty. Huge chunks of eggplant. Spicy at baseline so be careful adding more.
Egg rolls are definitely homemade, comes with a unique sweet chili sauce.
Orange chicken again 10/10, enough food for a village. Probably a whole chicken.
