Excellent food. The staff was very friendly. Portions were excellent size for the price. For example I got the combination platter for $18. Comes with fried rice and tons of meat. Most of the time you get one piece of meat with other restaurants I've been to, but I got 4 shrimp in my platter in addition to the other things. So that was great.They of course also had great vegetarian options as well, my wife got the pad Thai. It was great as well.Highly recommend!

Almost Excellent!Occasionally, the dinners are not all the same temperature. When that happens, given the price, it's not quite the experience expected. Hard to complain when two of the three entrees scrumptious.Nice range of Gluten Free choices throughout the menu, if you are so inclined.

Great lunch option with delightful food and very good service. Visited during a business lunch, and although there was a sign at the entrance stating to please be patient with the staff as they were short-handed, our server Brianna was very attentive and friendly, and we did not have to wait long for our orders. I had the Thai wonton soup to start and finished with the Singapore noodles for my entree, and both dishes were very good. Will definitely return on my next business trip to the area.

We had a team work lunch at Chalit's - 15 people at a long table. The atmosphere with the large soft basket weave fans rhythmically moving back and forth along the top of the wall and the bamboo plants on the table invite conversation and laughter. Each dish can be spiced from 0 to 10 to accommodate different tastes. The vegetables are fresh, the brown rice is flavorful, the dishes are attractive and the curry is delicious! It was one of the best team lunches ever.

This is a very chic restaurant, especially for the area. You could tell they took pains to make the ambience feel exceptional, and in that regard they did well. I would say that the quality of the food is good, but not outstanding, and the portions to price may leave you wanting. However, if you are looking for a finer dining experience, Chalit's delivers ambience in full.

We stumbled on this place one evening while shopping. The atmosphere and food were far better than we expected. We were definitely underdressed compared to the other couples eating there. The food was phenomenal! My husband liked my pad Thai so much he ordered one of his own to go. The spicy fried rice was also excellent. My dessert, tempura bananas, was definitely made in house.

Service was great despite the restaurant being packed for dinner, and the food was great. The drunken noodles were delicious and with a good portion size, and you can alter the spice level of any dish. Also, the mechanical fans are delightful!

Great food, good service. Slow but good.*I love the snarky response to my 4 star review from the owner. If only the service was as quick and attentive.I have eaten here several times since my original review. The food is very good. I highly recommend it. Service is just slow.

Very bad experience! No manners of waiting tables in the serial order. Waited patiently for 45 minutes for our food. People who came after us were getting their food. They didn't care when we were leaving....Love Thai food,, but not going there again!

Went to Chalits for dinner tonite. Extremely slow service is understandable as everyone is short staffed due to Covid... waited 15 minutes for Spring rolls. After additional 30 minutes no food in sight. What actually frustrated us was that 2 tables that came after us got their food before us. I am appreciative of people who are coming to work in these conditions but atleast go in order.
