Secret Thai Restaurant was a major disappointment for me. I traveled a long way specifically because this place was highly recommended and for the “Ghost Pad Thai,” which is supposed to be a rare find in the US, but it really missed the mark.
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.

The absolute best Thai food in Louisiana! Don’t go over a 1 in the spice level… the .5 is good for me. I reccomend ghost pad Thai, crabmeat Rangoon, tom yum or tom kha soup, massuman curry, cashew chicken, soft shell crab curry, orange chicken with sauce on the side, seafood delight, drunken noodle and basil rice. I’m still trying new menu items. I am editing my review today. I was there on Saturday with 6 guests at 5pm. They were out of crab Rangoon, eggrolls and mango sticky rice. We ordered Tom kha soup, chicken satay and 6 different entrees. Our waitress, a ponytailed brunette ignored us, forgot the thai tea and basically abandoned us after the food delivery. A male waiter took over and saved the day. I would never employ someone as rude and negligent as she. In spite of the bad service we tipped her well. Get the hook! You can’t afford to have employees treating your patrons poorly.

I walked into this Thai restaurant expecting lunch… and instead experienced a spiritual awakening. The portions? Giant. Mythical. I’m convinced the orange chicken alone could feed 3 grown adults.
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.

Go t the spicy basil eggplant with chicken and it was amazing!!!! We also had the tom yum ka(shrimp) 32ounce soup and it’s the best tom yum I’ve had…. However there could be some mushrooms and tomatoes like other tom yum…. Makes me think they forgot. So it was the lime leaf, the galangal, onions,and shrimp…but it was still tasty. We ordered the spice on the side!

Good food, I think the portions are too large, it kinda goes away from the whole Thai street food concept I was hoping fore to be able to order more plates to share instead of having one over sized plate of one thing. Again not bad at all but that’s my recommendation to the owners. Small plates with more variety of shareable plates.

Surprisingly (from a Thai Restaurant)The orange chicken was fantastic. Crispy, flavorful, and not overly sweet like some places make it. The pad isn’t the ‘typical’ pad Thai we’re used to but it was packed with flavor. The fried rice was a solid side, nothing fancy, just good, classic fried rice.

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.

OMG can I just say this place is everything. The food was delicious, portion size humongous. I ordered the orange chicken and my friend ordered the Drunken noodle. Will be returning. Sam was our waiter and she was very sweet.

The spice levels here are insane. Though we ordered spice level of 1 (and as Indians we are used to spicy food) this was so strong on the soup and red curry that we could not enjoy it. Just go for 0.5 only. The portion sizes are big .

I went to this restaurant in 2023. I’m sorry it took me so long to write a review, but I’m doing it now. The food was excellent to me. It had a little more oil in the dish than I’m used to, but it was still great to me. The portion sizes were very generous. The decor was nice, but it didn’t stand out to me. Take them serious when they ask you about your spice level. I think I did a “1” and it was spicy for me. I haven’t made it back due to the distance from where I live. I struggle with my weight so that’s probably a good thing for me. I would definitely recommend you try them the next time you think you want some Thai food. I posted before and after photos to show how much food I had left because I barely made a dent in the food.
