I’ve always seen this place when I’d be craving Thai food in the area and they’re open fairly later than most places so I decided to stop by this place on a Friday evening. It’s a fairly big restaurant that’s already in a big plaza so that’s a huge plus. The high rated reviews for this place brought me in, but another big reason was the $1 Thai Tea check-in offer. When I brought it up to my server, he clearly told us it’s valid only for a Thai Tea with their smallest size that isn’t on the menu. Anyways, here’s what we ordered: **Pad Thai with Chicken: For myself, I like to try pad thai before I try anything else because that’s the dish that needs to shine. I’ve definitely had better, but at the same time, it wasn’t too bad either. The portion was pretty big for the price. It’s a decent size and could possibly be eaten as “family style.” Pretty above average in my opinion. (4/5) **Pad See Ew with Crispy Pork: My friend ordered this and I tried a little bit as well. I wasn’t the biggest fan of the pork because it was deep fried and it was too fatty as well. However, it was decent as well. (3.5/5) **Cream Cheese Wonton: This was really good. The sauce was on point as well. I just wish it was a bit more crispier when served, but no complaints at all, really. (4/5) **$1 Check-in Thai Tea: When the server told us it’s a small size, I was expecting a small cup, but when it came out, I was a little impressed. It was served in a smaller beer glass. It came out with your tea layer on top with the creamer on top, which was nice. I did mix it up in the beginning and it was really sweet; a little too much for my liking. But hey, for $1, totally worth. (3.5/5) Even though the restaurant was big and packed, better service at a Thai joint from my many experiences. However, it was difficult to wave someone down to get your check and for them to take your money as well. I’d go up to the front if you want to save time to pay. This was my first visit, but definitely not my last.

Lucky’s Thai Pantry – Menu with Prices – 934 N Tustin St, Orange

Let me say first…this is not a new place per se, as someone else mentioned. They were in another location, and moved here some time ago. Maybe a year. So the “bugs” in their systems should have been fixed long ago. We stopped in here for the first time for dinner on a weeknight. We each ordered Pad Thai with chicken, and an order of pork satay. The pork satay is supposed to be an appetizer. It didn’t come out for quite some time, so I asked about it. The server said “it’s being made right now”. Right then, our Pad Thai (main course entree) arrived, and it was delicious! Usually you get sides of various spices and sauce with Pad Thai, but they didn’t offer it. Kind of disappointing, but each place is different. After we were done with dinner, I figured they had forgotten about the pork satay. Nope, as we were getting up to ask for the check, the pork satay finally arrived at the table! We ended up taking it home with us; even re-heated it was delicious. Tonight we decided to try their online order process. We got the same items again; you’d think we’d learn! Two Pad Thai with chicken, and an order of pork satay. The order was supposed to be ready in 35 minutes. My husband went to pick it up at the designated time; nothing was ready. He was told “the pork satay is not cooked yet. If you want chicken, you can have that right away, otherwise you’ll have to wait.” So if I ordered it online, and the order was supposed to be READY IN THIRTY FIVE MINUTES, why had they not even started cooking part of it? Ultimately it took them over an hour to get the order ready. When my husband got home, and we unpacked the order, the pork satay turned out to be CHICKEN. He had to wait 1/2 hour for them to cook the pork and they gave him chicken. The worst part was the fact that the chicken satay was…..RAW. It had grill marks on the outside, but taking a bite, it was completely raw inside. We put it in the microwave to finish cooking. Just absolutely NO EXCUSE for serving raw chicken. I initially gave them 3 stars, but raw chicken gets them one. I called and spoke with someone there; she checked with the person who did the cooking; came back and told me “that was not chicken, it was pork”. Seriously, I can tell the difference between chicken and pork, especially when I’ve had their pork satay before. She offered to give us a free satay next time. I just hope they cook it.

spicy 9 thai Menu with Prices 1984 Nome St, Aurora

I would call myself a “Thai Food” Lover! I usually eat Thai Food about 5 days a week. I have been all over Colorado and have eaten at most of the Authentic Thai places. Today I have seen this place pop up on yelp and so I decided to give it a try. I started with the Vegetable Egg Rolls which I would say are “just ok”. They are the same traditional frozen egg rolls I have had at other places. I personally prefer them made by hand, especially if I am paying $5.50. Next the young man brought out my Thai Tea which I was surprised to see it come to my table with a sealed lid, as if it was made outside of the restaurant. This is the 1st time I have ever seen this. Most of the time the Thai Tea is made fresh daily at the restaurant. The Thai tea was too sweet to drink. Not sure how many grams of sugar were in it, but it was overpowering the tea. Next was the Nam Tok Noodle Soup which also was “just ok”. When it comes to Thai Soups it’s all about the broth and flavor, Only 2 Pork meatballs were a disappointment! For a $11.00 soup I expected more. I have had $6 Thai soups that would blow this soup out the water. I am very picky about my Thai because I eat it almost daily, maybe my expectations for supposed to be “AUTHENTIC THAI” are very high. Based on my visit today this is a decent place for people who don’t really know Authentic Thai Food.

Liberty Diner – Menu with Prices – Newark Liberty International Airport, Terminal B Gates Level Concourse, Newark

Well, we did actually have a bunch of time to kill so it wasn’t a total nightmare but I can truthfully say that this may be the slowest service I’ve ever received at any full service restaurant EVER. It started off promisingly enough…we were seated in a cute booth and the tunes were a nice accompaniment to the retro diner styling. Our drink orders were taken quickly but that’s when things started to get weird. The adult alcoholic beverages were brought about 12 minutes after ordering and we were told the waters and sodas were coming right up. During the time we were waiting for our server to come back, an additional server stopped by and asked if we wanted to order something to drink. We told him we were waiting for our other drinks and already had a server. A manager stopped by as well and it was clear we were still waiting on our drinks and asked if we were ready to order. We were, but mistakenly thought we’d wait until our server came back with the waters and soda to do so. Eventually she brought the other drinks and took our order for food. 14 minutes after we ordered, the manager came back and ask if two of us would like to order something else because the items we ordered were not prepped. We said we would wait and they were able to get all the meals out together in another 15 minutes. We had to ask for silverware and ketchup and were told they had been busy earlier and had run out and they had to prepare more. Sigh. The food was fine…nothing amazing but certainly acceptable . We indicated we were finished and were told that our server would be back to pick up our plates shortly thereafter but it took about 10 minutes for her to return, clear the plates and give us our check. We went to pay and after we gave our card she realized that the check was incorrect and then went to correct it and brought back a check that was $12 more than the original. Because the payment was done on a mobile device she asked us if we would be tipping and how much. Odd. If an apology had been offered and a free drink or food item had been offered, I probably would be feeling a lot better about this place. I totally get we were at the airport but wow, this was pretty epic in its overall incompetence. Peace.

Thai Garden – Menu with Prices – 432 University Ave W, St Paul

We went there yesterday afternoon based on the reviews but were sorely disappointed and ended up leaving right after TRYING to order. First we ordered an appetizer of spring rolls but were told that they were out of spring rolls! Upon my asking how a Thai restaurant could be â??out of spring rollsâ?, the server gave multiple excuses – there were only three people working, they just had a large group of people that had ordered spring rolls, they were behind. I thought this was outlandish but because we were there as a birthday lunch for someone in our party, I tried to make the best of it. As I always do when I eat at Thai food restaurants, I wanted to order the Pad Thai, but found the description of â??sweet, sour, saltyâ? on the menu confusing as Iâ??ve never known Pad Thai to be sour OR salty. When I asked the server why they described their Pad Thai this way, she asked me what color the sauce was on the other Pad Thai Iâ??ve eaten. I thought this was a strange question but I answered â??brown I guessâ?. She then said â??we make our Pad Thai different than everyone else and our sauce is orangeâ?. Ummm, that sounds like a sweet & sour sauce to me. At that point, I knew this place wasnâ??t what the reviews seemed to indicate and we left without even completing our orders. As Iâ??ve seen in at least one other review, i donâ??t understand how this place has such a high rating and it doesnâ??t seem this place knows how to cook Thai food. I would never recommend this place to anyone. There are many other Thai food restaurants in the Twin Cities from which to choose.

La Culichi Fresa – Menu with Prices – 1517 N Baker Ave, Ontario

Honestly this is the worst restaurant experience i have ever experienced. The first thing i asked for was a margarita(which was on the menu). The server came back & said they didnt have alcohol. Then when i asked for pozole (which is on the menu) she said no once again. Then i asked if they had wings (which is on the menu), i was once told no. We were never given silverware until asked for. Then last but not least, i asked for the fettuccine Alfredo pasta. Waited an hour for it, then the server comes out & tells me they dont have Alfredo. Then when i go to pay for my food, waited 15 min for my check, my gaucamole wasnt in my togo bag that i asked for. Which i was charged for. Then had to wait an extra 10 min for them to make the guacamole for me. I will not be coming back.

Kings 9 Thai Cuisine – Menu with Prices – 635 N Main St, Corona

Found a new Thai food restaurant. This is one of the best Thai foods around. Got the yellow curry on lunch special. It came with a salad, cheese wontons, brown rice, and a huge portion of yellow curry. I’m stuffed! Two promotions – 1. Check in on Yelp and you get a free Thai tea. 2. 10% off your bill. Food is awesome. True, authentic Thai food. Restaurant is very new and clean. Amy took good care of me. She was a great server. Paid $12 including tip. Very reasonable.

Penn’s Thai House – Menu with Prices – 724 W Sunset Rd, Henderson

BLUE COLLAR THAI It’s the closest Thai restaurant to my home. I recalled when it was the foodie hot spot for all of Henderson. Food critic Max Jacobson in 2012 named Penn’s Thai House the best Thai restaurant in Henderson. Like finding a diamond on the street. After all it’s located in a modest business strip center surrounded by auto body repair shops. It certainly wasn’t the aesthetics that brought diners in. Yelpers also flocked in droves too like lemmings. LoL. The frenzy felt artificial. I visited a couple times but never really was stimulated to writing a review. This most recent lunch visit changed my mind. Not because there was a table of Thai ladies or the Thai servers’ mannerism. It was simply the food. Granted the egg flower soup wasn’t Thai. But the peanut-less Pork Pad Thai and Thai Boat Noodle Soup just reminded me of what Thai cuisine should truly taste like. Lunch specials are of excellent value. Noodle soups are delightful and generously filled with expertly seasoned meats.

Brasserie Circa – Menu with Prices – 4420 Forsyth Rd, Macon

I have been looking forward to coming to this restaurant for some time and on yesterday I celebrated by sisters birthday with her. I was running a little later than the party and when I arrived everyone else had already ordered, which is understandable! The server brought me a menu and I ordered within 10 minutes of me sitting down. Well he brought out everyone else food and 2 people sent their food back because their items weren’t cooked well done. This is where the problem started….the server brought my sisters steak back after she had sent it back…everyone’s eating and I’m still waiting, I had a steak no issue until the server came out and said he gave my steak to my sister and her steak was still cooking and if I could take hers…. she had the NY Sirloin & I had a Ribeye…she had cut into hers before she sent it back and was eating mine when he came back to tell us! I was livid! I am a manager of a eatery and I understand customer service…he never apologized for his mix up! I didn’t want to mess up my sisters birthday dinner so I went along with this foolishness! He then brought our tickets out and had added the gratuity as if he had given great service and he didn’t . Other people at the table had to continuous ask for items they had ordered. The food was decent however the customer service by this one male server was tragic!

Sen Thai Bistro Menu with Prices 11395 W Palmetto Park Rd suite d, Boca Raton

I came here after I brought my kids to Lalaland next door. After checking out the menu I already felt like I hit the jackpot. I’m always in a hunt for good Thai restaurants. Their menu was so easy to read and wasn’t overwhelming at all compared to other restaurants that put so many mediocre items in the menu “booklet” which weakens the focus on their specialties. I ordered fireballs on stick for my appetizer and Boat noodles with pork for lunch. The fireballs were amazing. The fish balls were my favorite and the sauce was really good. The boat noodles was definitely something to come back multiple times for. It was unfortunate that they don’t serve the crispy pork belly during lunch but the regular pork with the pork rinds were as good as I imagine the pork belly would be. For dessert, I ordered the mango with sticky rice. Don’t leave without ordering this because you’ll definitely miss out on a good dish. One thing I noticed though is that there was only one person working as a server for lunch. The place was busy and there were definitely take out orders handed out nonstop. So yeah, the place is great but it’s small and it’s really busy. But the food was so good so it was worth the wait.

Noodle Wave – Menu with Prices – 1490 W Spring Valley Rd, Richardson

It’s Foodie Friyay so my coworker and I decided to check out Noodle Wave today. I had been here before, but I just didn’t remember my experience since it had been so long. We got there around 12 and we got seated immediately even though it was pretty busy. We noticed they had a lunch special that included soup, an egg role, pad thai, green curry, and a dessert all for $11. Now that is a deal!! So my coworker and I decided to order that. The server brought out the soup ASAP, but it took almost 30+ minutes for our food to come out. We got there at 12:10 and we didn’t get our food till 12:40, now that is ridiculous!! Also our server was VERY rude and I saw her snap at the table next to us for no reason. Also she didn’t feel the need to apologize for the delay in our food and was very rude when we asked to split the check. If I ever go back, I hope she isn’t my server again. Anyways now to the food. The egg role was pretty good, but you can’t really go wrong with egg roles. I wasn’t really vibing with the green curry. It didn’t have enough flavor and had more of a soupy consistency as opposed to a thick curry consistency. The pad thai was alright too, not the best but not the worst either. Overall it made me full so I can’t complain. We also got dessert with the lunch special so I got mango ice cream and I think that was the best thing I had there. The mango ice cream was soo good! I think I’ll come back for the lunch special because that was a great deal! I also think they change their lunch special every day so next time I’ll come on a different day to try something new. But overall it’s not the worst thai place nor is it the best. Also their service could use some serious work.

THAI STREET Menu with Prices Broadway Market 1640, Aliceanna St #11, Baltimore

YUM! I am loving Broadway Market so much and was super excited that Thai Street was here since there isn’t much good Thai in Baltimore. Lots of different options and I’ve come multiple times so far: 1. Pad See Ew: noodles were super tasty–perfectly cooked, just soft enough but not too soft that they were disintegrating. Flavor of the sauce was really good, sweet and savory. I added pork to mine which was the only thing I disliked as the pork was pretty dry. Wished it also had some more vegetables, but would try again 2. Crab fried rice: I wasn’t expecting much from this dish but wow, the rice is packed with flavor. Decent amount of crab, but really, the rice is the star! A bit on the pricier side 3. This past Friday brought the Bike Party to Broadway Market, and for the event, Thai Street had a stall serving grilled chicken thigh with sticky rice. It’s not on the regular menu but it totally should be because this is my favorite dish so far that I’ve tried from Thai Street. The chicken is super tender, juicy, smokey from the grill, and marinated in an awesome sauce. Simple, but amazing. 4. Mango sticky rice: just a lovely dessert. Rice is perfectly cooked, mango is fresh and beautifully plated. Coconut milk is subtly sweet.

Thai Treasure Restaurant and Bar Menu with Prices 3811 Fairfax Dr Ste 105, Arlington

Finally checked this newish Thai spot out after having walked, ran and driven past it many times. We came here for a late dinner Sunday night and found parking outside. It’s not a heavily trafficked area so I was optimistic seeing others inside the spacious, newly renovated room. While the service was quick, the food left much to be desired. For appetizers, we tried some staples including Spring Rolls, Chicken Satay and Papaya Salad. I had mistakenly expected a fresh roll, but it turned out to be fried and reminded me of the freebie you get in a Chinese takeout combo. They should probably specify that it’s fried on the menu. The satay and salad were decent. For entrees, we got the Thai Treasure Pad Thai and Happy Chicken. What made the pad thai slightly different from the standard was that it had crab, pork belly and apparently smoked gouda (noted on the menu, but I didn’t notice it). The pork belly was tasty, but a couple of the pieces had more fat than meat. We thought the pad thai was underwhelming for its cost ($18). Last but not least, the Happy Chicken was aptly named. It was perfectly crispy and delicious. As one of the only Thai restaurants within walking distance in Ballston, I’d probably try this place out again in a pinch.
