I have obviously been on a Thai kick lately with all these Thai reviews 
For Valentine’s, my fiancé and I decided to go out to eat on Friday (so we wouldn’t have to wait so long on Saturday). We chose Gah Bua Kham in Hampton. I never knew about this place until recently after doing a seach for Thai places in Hampton Roads. It’s tucked into a small shopping center at the corner of Executive Drive and Hardy Cash Road (near the Coliseum area).
When we got there, we were surprised to see that there was a wait. It was about 20 mins but felt longer since we waited outside. It’s a small place so we didn’t want to crowd the inside. Because it was so busy, we thought the food must be really good…
We were right. The food was really good but what we really loved was the service. This is a small family owned restaurant and it shows. They are so friendly and seem to know their customers (regulars). I ordered Thai Tea and Pineapple Fried Rice with Tofu. They make sure to ask you if you want eggs since some vegetarians don’t eat eggs. My fiancé got Pad Se Ew w/Tofu. He said it was good but again – not as good as Pattaya. Still tasty but just not as much flavor as Pattaya’s Pad Se Ew. We also got Mango with Sweet Rice for dessert. It was also good but not the best I’ve had.
I would definitely recommend this restaurant both for their service and their food. They also only charge $1.95 for their Thai Tea (which comes in a big glass) which is the same they charge for sodas or regular tea.I liked that since I absolutely LOOOVE Thai Tea.
