Amazing food and service. You feel like family when you’re here. We were greeted warmly, met the owners/chef. Everything was exceptional from the smiley waitress/daughter to the amazing food. Literally what a hidden gem. It was our first visit and we will definitely be back.

Absolutely amazing! Ly Cuisine is truly a rare gem. Located in an indiscript shopping center (but don’t let the the extrieror fool you). Once you taste the food with its fresh, vibrant flavors you will be impressed. THE absolute best authentic Thai cuisine we have ever had! This unassuming restaurant uses the highest quality ingredients that is expertly prepared at very reasonable prices.
The top notch service was warm, genuine & friendly. We were treated like family..
The unanimous consensus was that we can’t wait to go back (that is before we even left the parking lot!)

Remember the time you could eat real home cooked food at a local Mom & Pop restaurant, surrounded by friendly patrons all discussing how amazing the food was?
This was our Mayberry experience.
Xeem (pronounced ‘Sang’) who is the owners son, runs the front of house of Ly Cuisine. He was super friendly and incredibly helpful showing us around the menu. What a wonderful employee.
Dishes tried:
The cheese wantons were delicious and original. The cheese mixture was perfect. We ordered two
The pad Thai was wonderfully done. It had that special flavor that so many restaurants seem to miss. Well done!
The pad Thai sesame chicken was a surprise. This tasted absolutely home made. It was very tasty and quiet original. All the flavors were amazing and complimented each other.
2 apps and two entrees $44.

So i am not one to just leave reviews lightly and I must say that truly this is a hidden gem in Albemarle. At first glance it doeant appear to be hitting on much from the exterior but like the quote says dont judge a book by it cover. I reached out to the owners via Facebook messenger considering some questions/concerns as I was considering trying them for the 1st time. Within 1 hr or so I was given response….I was a little disappointed at first with the answer but appreciated the honesty and transparency of the business explaining the need for changes to the menu. Long story short the owners really treat you like family and make sure you enjoy the meal. I was able to customize the Drunken noodles with adding fresh thai chillies and some fresh basil to the order. Spicy 4 of 5 and I must say while hot the flavors were still there and perfect for me, reminded me of being back in Thailand from when I was over there in 2017 for travel and leisure. Will definitely be back on occasions and prefer them over Thai spice as this is more authentic in my opinion and flavors are way better. Next time I ask if they have some Nam Jim Jaew (crying tiger) sauce and try the Zhoua’s chicken as I believe that is like a Tamarind sauce the way it is worded. ABSOLUTELY love the owners and their complete transparent nature and traying all like family as they know their repeat customers by name
Looking forward to more eats. If you havent been you need to go.

First time eating here, and it was excellent! The food was very, very good; my wife and I both enjoyed our meals. She had drunken noodles, and I had yellow curry, and they were both so good! The service was very friendly, and it definitely has the feel of a friendly family-owned restaurant. We will definitely be back!

I needed comfort food on cool dark night. Dragon noodles with sample platter. I like it ️ ️ ️, but working toward ️ ️ ️ ️. Sitting at home eating in pajamas priceless.

I have been here twice now since moving into the area, and this family owned and operated business is amazing! Best Thai food I’ve had in my life. In particular, on my last visit I ordered the Kaeng Karii (C8 on the menu). The best curry dish I’ve ever had!
My wife and I will be repeat customers for sure

5/2/25UPDATE: Had Nhia’s Steak. Absolutely fantastic. 12-16oz? Great flavor. Nice take on a very American meat- the Ribeye. The pic doesn’t do it justice.
SIDE NOTE: The steak is only available on Fridays and Saturdays
Great people.
Very good food and service. The mom and the youngest of the family are fantastic. Very friendly. Very accommodating.
Have been twice already and will definitely be back. Want to try the steak items that are only served on Friday and Saturday nights. This a hidden gem. Not just in Albemarle but in the region.
Just beware, it is a very small place. Maybe 10 or so tables.
