There’s a special kind of restaurant where you walk in as customers and leave feeling like family. Sirinna’s Thai Kitchen in Summerville is exactly that kind of place. Tucked just off of Old Trolley Rd., this hidden gem is serving up incredible Thai food with a whole lot of love—and a story that’s just as flavorful as the food.

This family-owned restaurant is run by a husband and wife duo: he’s a proud U.S. military combat veteran 🇺🇸, and she’s originally from Thailand 🇹🇭, bringing authentic recipes and warm hospitality to every table. What started as a pop-up tent in Goose Creek in 2021, grew into a food trailer, and eventually blossomed into their first sit-down restaurant in 2023. Just over a year later, they proudly earned the title of Best Thai Restaurant in 2024.

When we visited recently, we had an experience that reminded us why small, family-owned spots like this matter so much. The staff—especially our server—went above and beyond to make our family feel welcome. Without us asking, she brought out our kids’ food first, made sure our baby had extra water in his cup, and was just genuinely sweet to them the entire time. Those little things made a big impact.

The food? Fantastic. The boys devoured their fried mac and cheese balls (we may have snuck a few bites—no regrets 😄). And as someone who needs gluten-free options, I love how many different dishes they’re able to customize safely and deliciously. It's rare to find a place that blends authentic flavor, dietary flexibility, and top-notch hospitality so effortlessly. And like so many other Summerville families, we’ll be spreading the word—because food this good, and people this kind, deserve to be known.
