Tip Thai is in the former location of Thai Country, in the Wistar Center off Staples Mills Road.

Thai County, which I reviewed over a year ago, was a delicious escape from the typical Thai cuisine one could find in Richmond. It clearly was “tops” in terms of flavor and value. It was then sold, and the resulting restaurant received one of the lowest ratings I ever bestowed, in a review.

The Phoenix rises, however. Tip is a call back to quality food. Each visit, they have not had many customers, but they should. Friendly, efficient service, coupled with simple, yet flavorful dishes can be found here. Typical favorites like Pad Thai are excellent, as are their dishes that cater to spicy tastes. Spring rolls here, both fried and fresh, are delicious appetizers.

I have only dined her twice, but enjoyed the experience. The menu is large enough (and printed in a luxurious fashion, I might add, in full color) to satisfy most tastes.

Recommended.
