Awesome food and great prices.

Had the "Tongrito". Amazing mix of Hispanic and Thai food. Absolutely wonderful. Highly recommend! The Thai Tea is delicious. The serves was outstanding. This was out first time here.can not wait to come back and bring others! Love love love
Tong's is hands-down the best Thai restaurant in the Springfield area, combining mouth-watering flavor with just the right amount of heat in their meals. The staff are knowledgeable, helpful, friendly and funny. There's limited seating, so if you have a group over 4, it's a good idea to get a reservation.
Delicious food, and prices are around $10ish range. Service is fine. Nothing to complain. Atmosphere is fine.
Food was delicious each time I've been here. Nothing wrong with the service. Atmosphere is warm.
The Drunken Noodles with beef are amazing! We like to add the garlic sauce with ours. The server recommended it and he was exactly right. Some of the appetizers weren’t for us (tried new things) but the items we did order were outstanding. Already been back again!
Service was prompt, food was excellent, and the atmosphere was nice! Great Crab Rangoon. I had the yellow curry with lots of chicken and vegetables, the medium heat was perfect for my palate.
Ok who forgot to tell me about Tong's? I mean that is just cruel! If I had known about Tong's, this review would be five years old by now! I'm glad tho, because I've, unfortunately, had a recent rash of one star reviews. When I started writing reviews, I swore to myself I would not inject more negativity into a world that's already bursting at the seams with it. However, some experiences are so dreadful they need to be shared as a warning to others, in order to try to help them avoid a similar experience. I felt obligated to break a promise I made to myself multiple times and it was getting me down but now I get to write another, well deserved, five star review!
Okay you're probably wondering "what about Tong's? ". What about it? After sixteen years of industry work and 15 more years of appreciation, I've experienced a lot of culinary delights. I have enjoyed many delicious sensations brought on by a lot of various culinary practices from across the globe. I'll put it like this: my taste buds are jaded and they're used to just about everything. I'm hard to surprise. Tong's literally gave my mouth sensations that I had never experienced before. My wife and I ordered a salad, appetizer and two entrees, and the flavor combinations used in the entrees (all so So SO delicious) were so different from the other, it was surreal. I tried the entree she ordered after taking a few bites of mine and everything just kind of faded away as I got lost in the flavors, it seemed like none of the same seasonings were used however both dishes had flavors that would change and evolve in your mouth, while you chewed! We talked about it while we ate, she's an industry veteran as well. You know that after glow feeling new couples get after they romance each other? Well I have a quite similar after glow feeling from eating Tong's food lol. It IS that good! I have so many words at my disposal: I'm a published journalist (75 + articles, but that's an entirely different story), but all of them miserably fail to impart how good this food is. I'm speechless. Anyway, if you don't know, you should enrich your life by finding out. Who knows? Maybe you'll find your purpose in life! Maybe you'll quit drinking! Maybe your depression will be cured! Maybe you'll invent faster than light travel! I don't know, but I do know you'll be feeling better off in general after eating at Tong's! Go tomorrow!
Spicy Hot Siam beef was very good along with the crab ragoon appetizer we had. Will be going back for more menu items!
Pleasant service, but I don’t understand the 5 star reviews. I guess if you’ve never had Thai food you’d think this was it idk. The food is salty, and not prepared well.
The very best place in Springfield. Love the ambiance, the frienliness of the owner and staff. Prompt service. Best Grouper ever! I can never wait to go back.
Always have had a great experience here! This place deserves to be way busier than it is! Most entrees are only $10-$18!
A newly found gem (they've been in business for many years). Food was fantastic service was top notch. We will be back.
