I went for the first time yesterday with my friend Dennis, and then again today because the soup I wanted wasn’t available yesterday. I never know what to think about Thai food. I like curries, but Thai noodles aren’t really my thing. Dennis had a shrimp-in-a-blanket appetizer and some kind of pork. I had chicken wings for my appetizer and red curry (beef) as my entree. The shrimp, wrapped in egg roll dough and fried, was pretty good (and I’m not even really a fan of shrimp). The chicken wings kinda sucked. Dennis wasn’t super happy with the taste of his pork dish, but he ate it. I liked my red curry, but it would have been much better without all those green beans in it! (I wasn’t aware green beans in curry was a thing)? I took a sip of Dennis’s Thai tea, and it was actually pretty good (and I hate tea)! It tasted vaguely like a Creamsicle.

Thailand Kitchen – Menu with Prices – 86-05 Jamaica Ave, Jamaica

Wanted to try this restaurant as it is the only option for Thai food on Uber Eats. As we came to the restaurant the outside looks a bit shabby so we were reluctant to go in, once inside we had to sit ourselves as it was empty with 1 other patron. The place is clean but very outdated decor. It only has 2 staff members working there the owner who is an older woman, and her assistant. The wait is a bit long, but my boyfriend and I ordered the spring rolls as an appetizer,chicken green curry, and chicken pad Thai as our main courses. For drinks I got the Thai iced tea, and my boyfriend ordered the tamarind juice. Spring rolls were good and tasty, our drinks were good (Thai tea was creamy), and our food was actually very good. Food came out very hot so be careful. The green curry was flavorful but I also felt that it was a healthier version than most green curry I’ve had ( not a lot of additives), the pad Thai was also flavorful and saucy ( I hate dry pad Thai). The owner was very friendly and made you feel welcomed.

The Similans Thai Eatery – Menu with Prices – 13005 Lee Jackson Memorial Hwy, Fairfax

I had my first taste of Thai food 15 years ago: Pad See Ew with Beef at a Thai chain (which will remain unnamed), and my taste buds did somersaults at the first bite. But after 15 years of trying Thai here and trying it there, it began to taste about the same. Then came Similans. The best Thai I’ve had in years! On a recent snowy day, we ordered delivery – Pad See Ew with beef (can you tell this is my standard?), Hawaiian Fried Rice, Crispy Rolls, and Party Wings. Within an hour, the food was at our door and everything tasted fresh, hot, and absolutely delicious. The Pad See Ew is some of the best I’ve had in years. Every ingredient – rice noodles, Chinese broccoli, egg, and beef strips – is cooked perfectly on its own and together, the dish comes together beautifully. As many times as I’ve had this dish, it’d been a long time since I’d enjoyed like that. A must! The Hawaiian Fried Rice was a really nice surprise. The curry was light, not at all overpowering, which was important for a rice dish that already has a lot going on, packed with chicken, shrimp, pineapples, cashews, and veggies. A wonderful, comfort dish. The crispy rolls were as good as any you’d find elsewhere, but the wings were pretty special – crispy skin, tender meat, slathered in a sticky sweet and spicy sauce that begs you to lick your fingers. I may have just found my new Thai obsession.

Sabai Thai Eatery – Menu with Prices – 1113 Corydon Ave, Winnipeg

My husband, a friend and myself went to eat here after work this week. The restaurant is small but inviting. We were seated in a leather booth. You know, the kind that squeaks a bit when you fidget around. Their menu contains two pages of food choices. This is a plus for the hubby. He has a hard time making choices. After some contemplation, the waitress arrived and we were ready to place our order which consisted of: Drinks: husband and I had the Thai iced tea- really tasty but 3.50 is a little steep. Friend ordered the monks blend tea which I have to say, is really good. I’m no tea snob but was quite impressed. It leaves tasty little aftertaste in your mouth for a few seconds which I quite enjoyed. Appetizer: thai’d up shrimp: this was exactly what it sounds like. 6 pieces of shrimp, each on a skewer wrapped in vermicilli noodles and fried. Served with peanut sauce I need to learn how to make. Overall simple dish but quite good. You can never go wrong with meat on a stick. Main dish: Hubby: pad Thai – they didn’t ask him how hot he wanted it. I guess it comes with one option – really f’n hot! He can handle his spice and this plate was making his nose run. He ate it all though and enjoyed it. I snagged a single, lonely bean sprout off his plate and had to immediately douse my palate with some water. Too hot for me. Friend: green curry chicken: We were told that the green curry was hotter and were expectingas such. This dish however, was not hot at all. I really enjoyed it and found it to have a very smooth taste. Would recommend this one. Me: BBQ duck in a red coconut curry with lychee. $18.00 This dish is found in a section with a note that says something a little different and that’s exactly what I got. I was quite surprised to learn that duck and lychee, though an odd combination, compliment each other quite nicely. This dish was pretty darn tasty. My only complaint was the bones. I had to ask for a knife to seperate the meat. The neat was cooked well and was not overly fatty which is always a concern when I order duck. Side: rice $2.00 (I feel the rice should be free or a smaller bowl included with the curry dishes) Overall, we were all very full and satisfied after our meals and will go there again. I’d like to give a 3.5 star rating but yelp won’t let me so I’m going with 4. Though my dish was one of the more costly items on the menu, it is duck… And I’ve paid a he’ll of a lot more for duck than 18$ before. Decent prices go a long way in my books.

Siamese Kitchen – Menu with Prices – 4352 W Olive Ave, Glendale

My roommate needed a night out so we came here since I was also craving thai. They had great reviews and it seemed pretty cheap, so obviously I had to give them a try. The restaurant doesn’t look like much from outside and it doesn’t look like much when you go in either. It’s not a fancy place for sure. My roommate was a little concerned since we were the only ones there. I still had faith. My roomie started with the spring rolls, which was basically egg rolls, and I ordered a thai ice tea. To me, spring rolls are not deep fried but are sticky rice paper. Had I ordered this, I would have been really disappointed. I didn’t try the egg roll but from what I could see inside it, it probably wouldn’t have been something I would have liked anyways. I saw mostly glass noodles and what I would assume was cabbage. If you have read any of my past reviews, we know how I feel about this. The thai ice tea was really good. I would guess based on how it came out and past experience it’s from a bottle and probably not house made. Still good though. For my entree, I order the pad thai. I was really happy about the fact that they have the pad thai here come with both shrimp and chicken and for a really cheap price. I asked for my dish to be hot and probably should have asked for it to be thai hot, which was the hottest option she gave me. Hot wasn’t hot at all for me. I would say it had a little kick but when I eat thai food, I like it to be really hot. There was a lot of food and a more than reasonable amount of meat. The shrimp and chicken was cooked perfectly. This was honestly the best tasting pad thai I’ve ever had. I plan on going back in the next week or two to get more pad thai. My roommate ordered a curry dish and he said he loved it. If you haven’t been here, it’s definitely worth a trip. Thank you Yelpers for pulling through on this place.

Charm Thai Kitchen & Sushi Bar – Menu with Prices – 960 Schillinger Rd S, Mobile

I was going to head to one of my favorite stops named Taste of Thai that sits between Mobile Alabama and Pascagoula Mississippi. For some reason they were closed today which is a Monday so I decided to find me a new Thai restaurant. The layout in here is very nice. It also has a full bar. Between 3 p.m. and 6 p.m. there is happy hour. Happy hour has $5 drinks as well as by one appetizer get another half off. I wish I would have checked on Yelp before I went here as I would have got the check-in special which was two Thai teas! I definitely have to go back to get that. Everything was very good. My son always likes to get the crab and cheese rangoon’s. They serve them here but they were called crab angels. This is usually a crab and cream cheese fried in a wonton. There’s had a yellow texture in the middle and it had a strong Curry Taste. It wasn’t bad just different. I also ordered me the firecracker appetizer which was good. It is imitation crab meat and cream cheese stuffed in a jalapeno and lightly fried. We then ordered our favorite which is the red curry with pork. That was very good. The presentation was very nice. If this place was closer I would definitely be a regular

Tom Yum Thai Restaurant – Menu with Prices – 859 Sherbrook St, Winnipeg

There aren’t a lot of restaurants near HSC hospital but this at the corner of William and Sherbrook is pretty decent for Thai food. Their spice level is serious so if you choose 7 or higher it is spicy! I had 8 once and it was pretty spicy – the kind that’s still good but you’re getting a runny nose and drinking lots of water and I have a decent heat tolerance. I’ll go with 6 and it’s just right. There’s a lunch time buffet but it doesn’t appeal to me so I usually share a few dishes with friends. The green curry, red curry, panang curry and pad thai are all decent. They all average about $10 per dish when you select chicken or beef. Service is fast and efficient.

Tuptim Thai Cuisine Menu with Prices 4896 Washtenaw Ave, Ypsilanti

Me and my husband both are huge fan of Thai cuisine. After leaving San Diego we never got many good Thai place to eat in Michigan, specially in Ann Arbor. Tuptim Thai Cuisine restaurant is just near my house but still I was reliant to try this place reading the reviews. Today at lunch I took my chances and went there. It wasn’t a bad experience but not a very good one either. They do have plenty of free parking space both sides of the restaurant. As soon I walked in I was seated by a very serious man. Both the servers one man and woman were nice to me, they came to ask if everything was ok but none of them smiled for once. Anyway back to the main thing – food. I am a huge huge fan of Penang Curr duck. As it was my first time there I wanted to order something safer. So I ordered Penang curry chicken. It came with a side vegetable tofu soup and one spring roll. The soup was simple yet fresh. The spring roll was ok. I never find much to compliment a spring roll as it has literally nothing inside of it. The curry on the other hand wasn’t good. It was simply pale. One of the main reasons I love Penang curry because of its coconut sauce which should always has a sweeter taste to it. In this case it was more towards spicy and paler side. Still it was ok but the vegetables they put in that curry was simply taken out from frozen bag and put it in there. Green peas, beans and carrots. The whole packaged vegetables they just threw in that curry. I couldn’t even eat my vegetables. I was very hungry when the food came. Seeing the portion of the rice I was thinking that I might have to order more but at the end I couldn’t eat the rice because the entire curry was so bland. I just picked up the chicken pieces and ate. The pricing is good. Specially with their quality of food I think it’s justified. I will probably go back again to try few more dishes and see if my idea of the place changes or not. This place is not terribly bad. I will be back I want to update my review based on my recent experience in this place. Last night me and my husband went there for dinner. We went around 6:30 pm and the place was quite full. The service this time was pleasant and prompt. Atmosphere was nice. We ordered Thai chicken fried rice and chicken Penang curry. The curry came with white rice on the side. I must say the food was good and huge portion. Specially the fried rice was excellent and very large portion. Usually around dinner time my husband’s appetite is skyrocketing. And he loves eating rice. So we have to order tons of rice. Yesterday also we were thinking we might have to order more rice but at the end we happily shared that one plate. In each bite we got huge size chicken. It was really well prepared dish. Although the curry on the other hand has the same problem I faced last time. They don’t prepare their veggies and chicken separately at all. The broth of the curry was really flavorful this time but the chicken was extremely blunt and flavorless. If they could have sautéed the chicken little bit before putting it into the curry it would have been a great dish. May be I am this critical about these preparations because I keep on comparing them with my west coast experience. We ended our dinner with their mango sticky rice and I must say that is one of the best mango sticky rice dish I have eaten in long time. It was cooked to perfection. Though I am not fully happy the way they cook their curry but I will still go there and experiment more new dishes along with excellent mango sticky rice.

Ginger Thai – Menu with Prices – 27110 Cinco Ranch Blvd #1100, Katy

Decided we wanted Thai tonight and did not want to go to the usual place we almost always go to for Pad Thai. Small restaurant in a small strip mall on Cinco Ranch Boulevard. Very clean and organized. We were greeted by a young man who turned out to be our server. He was very friendly and polite. Very helpful too. We decided to get the green papaya salad. A spicy dish with green papaya shredded with carrots, peanuts, daikon, tomatoes and spices. All of the ingredients finely sliced. It was delicious. $9.95 for a large enough portion for 2 people to share. Although the menu was extensive with Thai dishes and Sushi we opted to try their version of Pad Thai. My wife ordered the chicken in a non spicy version. Her dish was $11.99. She loved it. Another huge portion. She loved how fresh all of the ingredients seemed to be. I had the shrimp Pad Thai $13.99. I ordered it by their heat scale of 2 out of three peppers. It was spicy but not overly spicy. Mine too tasted very fresh. It had 8 large grilled shrimp. Just wish they had taken the tails off before cooking or serving the dish. My wife had jasmine hot tea with her meal. $2.50. I had the iced Thai tea. $3.25. I have never had this particular drink before and probably will not ever have it again. It was way too sweet for my taste, plus had a kind of clove finish that I did not care for either. Just not my cup of tea I guess. Overall we had a very nice dining experience and will certainly return when the mood for Thai food strikes us again. Happy we found this place so close to home.

Tuptim Thai – Menu with Prices – 2121 N Rock Rd STE 300, Wichita

Everything had raw cabbage on it. I love cabbage but it would’ve tasted better with some pickling or cooked a little. We asked for Thai-hot for appetizers, and they said they couldn’t do it; only for entrees. We ordered the tiger cry beef appetizer and tuptim wings. Beef was dry and chewy; Wings were deep fried (no batter though) tossed in a sweet sauce. Meat was dry too. We prefer these exact apps from Thai Tradition. Thai Tradition has two types of fried chicken wings that are equally delicious. The tiger cry beef there is amazing too. Their appetizers are like flavor parties in your mouth; they will make it as hot or mild as you like! We ordered the Tuptim Passion as an entree and it had great flavor and was actually the perfect heat and spice. It just wasn’t my favorite dish because it had “land” meats lol. I’m a seafood gal. Thankfully, my boyfriend ate the beef, chicken and pork. It’s a nice restaurant. Very modern, romantic and clean inside. Service is good. I like the tray of chilies they bring out. If you know me, a meal is incomplete without heat! I am a chili pepper freak! Hot sauce in my bag, Swag kinda gal. The food is not mind-blowing good so I don’t think I will come back unless it’s the last Thai place in town.

Thai Kitchen Cuisine – Menu with Prices – 1400 Village Square Blvd #114, Tallahassee

One cuisine I have always felt Tallahassee was short of is Thai food, and great Thai at that. I went to the Thai Kitchen for lunch earlier this year. The restaurant has a quaint little setup in the corner by Home Goods. The staff are very friendly. At first, I was a little nervous about expectations because it wasn’t that busy, but I was definitely left not disappointed. Thai Kitchen has a nice selection of dishes to choose from and for the lunch selection, you get a house salad with ginger dressing or soup. I went for the house salad. Their ginger dressing is one of the best homemade dressings I’ve ever had! It was incredibly fresh and tasted as though the ginger was just ground up before the salad was served. For my entree, I ordered the Massaman Curry. This curry dish is not spicy and has a base of potatoes topped with onion and peanuts. The portion size was great and the dish was very pleasing. In addition, the cost for lunch is under $10, which is super affordable compared to other restaurants that leave you paying $10-20 even just for lunch. I was very pleased with my experience and knew I would make it back again. I went back for lunch a few weeks ago and had another equally amazing experience. I definitely could not resist the side salad with ginger dressing, which was just as great as the first time. I ordered the Basil Fried Rice with chicken. The dish consisted of fried jasmine rice, chicken, egg, onion, carrots, red and green pepper, green onion, Thai basil leaves and a spicy basil sauce. This dish definitely has a kick but it also has a bunch of wonderful flavors going on all at one time. In my opinion, this dish was even better than the Massaman Curry. The chef definitely does not skimp on portions, so I was able to get two lunches from one dish and at a super low cost of less than $10. Overall, I think that Thai Kitchen is a great local restaurant and I have no doubt that it will continue its success. I would highly recommend them!

Magic Thailand Restaurant – Menu with Prices – 842 Logan Ave, Winnipeg

Yum, yum, yum! Don’t let the location and the exterior fool you – the inside is packed with diners and the food is great! I’ve been looking for another Thai place to go to since Vanxai’s on St. Mary’s has been disappointing me in the last few visits. I haven’t been back to Magic Thailand in years because the location isn’t the most convenient. It is located in an industrial area and the exterior is not much to be desired but inside, the restaurant has been recently renovated. Nothing amazing, but it’s warm, bright and inviting with lots of tables inside to seat couples to large groups. As with most Thai places you can order your food from a heat scale from 1-10. I have a high heat tolerance for spicy foods so here a 5 is true mid-range for someone who eats spicy food. I tried everything at a 5 as the other people eating with me didn’t eat that spicy. Personally, I would order about a 7 for a real nice kick. For others who don’t eat spicy, I would suggest a 2 or 3. The Thai Chicken Skewers ($8.50 for 3) and it comes with a spicy peanut sauce. Not my fave appy as it’s just grilled chicken breast that didn’t have much flavour on it’s own so you have to rely on the peanut sauce which was very yum. For this price, I wouldn’t order it again as I’d rather get another entree dish to share instead. I really liked their “pad thai” with shrimp which was $10.50 and it comes with a side of bean sprouts. At a level 5, the spiciness definitely came through so I’d keep this as a 5. Great flavour in the pad thai mix. The green coconut curry stir fry with chicken ($9.50) had lots of vegetables in the creamy coconut sauce. Not the best green curry I’ve had but it was good. At a level 5 spice, it was okay, I’d definitely up it to a 7 or 8 as the heat gets a bit lost in the sauce. The Matsaman – potato, onions, red peppers, basil, peanuts with chicken ($10.50) is a great dish if you like more peanut flavour and heartiness of potatoes. Food service is fast but table side service is okay as you kind of have to flag down people to get more things. Overall, great place for Thai food!

Boun’s Restaurant – Menu with Prices – 4-208 Marion St, Winnipeg

The menu here is a bit confusing as this restaurant calls itself an “Asian” restaurant. So which country in Asia? Well, I’d say foremost it’s Laotian but Laos and Thailand share similar cuisine, so there is definitely the flavours and the heat of Thai food here. Then there’s a few Vietnamese dishes and then the random Chinese dishes. Prices are very moderate and fair as most starters are $3-9 and most shareable entrees are $10-$13. I tried 3 curry dishes and they were all delicious! Definitely come here and order a bunch of dishes and share family style as they will bring you a big bowl of rice. You can order dishes here ranging from a heat quotient from 1-10. I have a high tolerance to spicy foods and eat spicy foods often so a “7” is perfect for a good hit of heat as I could still taste the food and not down water like crazy. I would order an 8 or 9 next time to see what that’s like but I think 3 would be good for most palates if you don’t eat spicy food that often and don’t bother adding any heat if you can’t eat spicy at all. The “panang curry” ($10.95) with chicken has coconut milk curry with green peas and lime leaf had a great creamy texture but not a lot of complexity in the curry. Although I really enjoyed this dish, I preferred the other two curries more. The “basa curry” ($11.95) was recommended by the server and with good reason – it was so yummy! You can select red, green or yellow curry and I opted for yellow curry with a fillet of basa (a white fish) with vegetables. Amazing sauce – definitely try this one! The matsaman “potato curry” ($10.95) can be made with chicken, beef, pork or shrimp and is cooked in coconut milk curry with potatoes, nuts and basil. The beef in this dish was tender and flavourful – I really liked the crunch of the peanuts in this dish too. The restaurant is located near Lovey’s in the strip mall on Marion Street – there’s very limited parking here so you might have to park on the street but there’s plenty of free 1-2 hour parking on the street. The interior space here is bright, modestly decorated and clean. Food was prepared fairly fast and the service was very friendly and warm. A lovely place for lunch or dinner (plus some to take home if you order a few dishes to share).
