Contemporary, long-running locale featuring a menu of Thai classics plus lunch combos until 2PM.
Delicious food. Many options on the menu. Prepared fresh, very tasty. Wonderful customer service. They are very helpful and accommodate any request. Online ordering is very easy. Prices are reasonable and portions are very generous. Thank you Tasty Thai and Sam!! We will be ordering from you again soon.
Tiny little restaurant tucked in the side of the shopping complex. Very accommodating, was a bit dark inside. The food was delicious. A good variety of Curry sauces/flavors. I ordered yellow curry with potatoes and carrots and steak and it was amazing. My son ordered the Panang curry and that was delicious as well. Portions are large enough that we always bring some home with us.
Walked and asked if they had Vegas options. Was told anything could be made vegan. Ordered the Rama Noodle. Vegan. No egg no fish sauce. Add tofu. Got it to go. It is delicious. Thought I’d save half for lunch tomorrow but I will finish it tonight. Came out quickly and hot. I recommend.
$8.95 Thai Lunch Buffet on Tuesdays and $10.95 rest of the days.
Amazing value for the lunch buffet!
The pad Thai here is still tasty!
The chicken is moist with the pad see ew full of flavor as the yellow curry.
Everything here tastes fantastic!
That is why I always bring my coworkers, friends and family here.
Great service and will they will assist your group!
The Kai Tod crispy chicken is the best flavored crispy chicken I can eat everyday!
I come back here all the time over and over for the chicken!
We did not originally intend to visit this restaurant but our original choice was closed.
Service comprised of 1 table busser / counter worker and who presumed to be the owner in the kitchen.
The building was mostly empty but while waiting for our food there were multiple pick-up orders to-go for takeout customers, so might just be empty cause covid.
Food was pretty reasonably priced at about $12 for curry (beef and other meats than chicken are a $1 or similar upcharge). They were out of beef for my red curry but they gave me a drink from the mini fridge for free ($1 allegedly, which is pretty good a full size drink)
Red curry was excellent once loaded with rice, but was quite thin and watery in the container.
The yellow curry was also great but also suffered from being thin and a little watery.
Would definitely think about grabbing takeout again from here if I was in the area!
Overpriced. 5 piece spicy wings for $8.95 were dry and mostly bones, and the sauce was only sweet and sour. Their tempura veggies had 3 small pcsof sliced sweet potatoes and 3 small pieces of broccoli. Pad Thai was too sweet and barely nutty taste, it would've been nice if they included lime wedges on the side. Fried rice was bland. Only the Pad See Eiw was decent. No wonder why their rating is so low. Never again.
This was very nice very small Thai excellent food taste, me n all my family like each one of their dishes. Quality n honesty is cook in preparation.
Small selection of food for buffet. Food was average at best. You can order off the menu. Service was excellent. Atmosphere was below average. We probably won't be returning. Decent value overall.

Their weekend lunch Buffett has a great selection of food and everything taste good!

The food is really good and the customer service is amazing. The buffet they have is definitely underrated. I would highly recommend checking it out!

Excellent Thai food and excellent service! Thank you Sam! Lunch buffet on Friday - Monday.
Yikes. I don't think I've ever given a restaurant 1 star. I'm doing this almost as a public service announcement. I ordered chicken pad thai and this is what it looked like. And it tasted like ketchup. The sauce was gloopy, noodles were way overcooked, and there was hardly any vegetables save the odd bit of cilantro. I stomached down about half of the container because I was at work and hadn't eaten anything all day. Thank god I had the next day off because I had horrible diarrhea all day. I threw the leftovers and the other unopened container I ordered out in the garbage. 40 something dollars and a very uncomfortable day later all I have about this experience is regrets.
The LUNCH BUFFET is back weekdays and weekends
Very reasonable prices and great quality
Have been coming here for years
the reason like this tasty thai they allways serve good food and the atmosphere is allways great and they have good service and good food make your mouth water the greatest in the world with good food is tasty thai and i would order tasty thai again and enjoy it in my house
Their thai buffet is back! (Fri-Mon) . You truly cannot find a better selection of Thai food. You get everything you could want for a meal and very affordable for a buffet. They have the popular noodle dishes, pad thai and pad sei ew, veggie dishes, curry, this amazing sweet and sour dish Kai Tod that’s perfectly breaded and crispy and more. Loved this place for years. Definitely worth a try for the buffet and any other time.
Went there for the widely-advertised Fri - Mon lunch "buffet".
Well, the food is great, (like all Thai cooking - I mean, how can you not like Thai, right?), however, it is only "somewhat" of a buffet.
They have 2 choices of rice, and 4-5 choices of chicken. No beef, no pork, no salad(s) of any kind, nothing else.
All that is strictly "metered" in small tubs, (or, whatever you call those things), and put out in very limited, tiny, quantities.
For just 5 bucks more, you will get the same amount of food you will eat there, if you order a take out from them.
...
What I absolutely disliked was that they, actually, ASKED me for a tip! For a self-serve meal, self-pick up utensils, basically, "everything self", they ASKED me for a tip!
First and foremost, a tip is a purely voluntary thing, and of course I could throw in 2-3 bucks, (which would make it a 20% tip, for a lunch "buffet" - my friggin' morning coffee costs almost $5 these days).
It's the fact that they ASKED for it, having put in the minimum amount of effort, (read, NO effort, for all practical purposes, and with the "neediness" in their voice, too), was what turned me away.
I, myself, am needy like that when I AM LOOKING FOR A JOB, and not begging for a 2-3 dollar tip.
And the most degrading thing was that the guy who asked for a tip was the actual owner of the restaurant! - There were NO servers, of any kind, there - Period.
I know that place. He works there by himself, (all the time), with an occasional family member for help, and a cook, (and, the latter might just be a family member, too).
I highly doubt his business is doing that bad that he needs to ask for a 2-3 dollar tip, 'cause, his delivery side of the business is BOOMING!
And, all he has to do is to just cook the meal, and put it into a plastic bag! - THAT'S ALL!
...
Anyway, I feel like I just had to express my opinion, in this case...
...
I'm sure there will be some of you who feel otherwise, and you are perfectly well entitled to have an opinion.
i always loved getting food from this place, sam is always kind, respectful, helpful.
He always puts out a great menu
Always love the food here, a staple in vernon hills
classic comfort food
good food and options, inexpensive
Love the buffet! cheap prices for amazing food
excellent and fast service highly recommend
So fast, so polite!
Went in for Thai Tea to go and it was super sweet. When we opened it , there was white powder on top of the ice. Compared to other placed I have had Thai Ice Tea, this was the worst. It was so incredibly sweet and we just had to throw it away. Thai Tea is black tea and milk not powder and ice.Just from that experience, I would not go back to try the food.
CHEATS, if you use Uber eats, they say they have a promotion where you can get buy one get one free green curry for $23! The thing is green curry only cost $12 usually so they are promoting that they are giving you a deal but really they’ve just overhyped the price to double and you get no deal. It’s very shady.
Very good food and service would recommend to anyone looking for something new and tasty
Amazing food 😋
Fantastic service 👏
10/10
DO NOT EVER ORDER FOOD FR8M TASTY THAI...TRULY THE WORST!!!
The worst Thai food I have ever eaten, complete waste of $100. Thai chicken wings were close to being jerky. Chicken Pad Thai, some of the meat was spoiled and it tasted like it had ketchup in it. Red curry was watered down with little flavor. The lemongrass beef had some Thai flavor, but very little and the meat seemed like rehydrated beef that was thin and tough.
I have to throw out everything and I ordered 2 for 1, many dishes haven’t been touched. Yes, my stomach is paying the price this morning. What a disgusting meal!
Not sure how it gets good reviews with such horrible, rotten and tasteless food. I am calling the health department today to file a complaint.
food is tasty and freshly made. store owner is kind and connects well.
however sometimes the desk is operated by other employees who are just inexperienced i suppose, and the service level falls off the cliff.
I was extremely pleased with my experience with Tasty Thai. I had a big catering order and they were helpful. Called the night before to make the order and they helped stay on budget and get the most options. The order was ready on time and they helped with loading the food in my car. They food was well received by the group! They also had plates napkins and cutlery ready for me. Very pleased will definitely be back.
Great place amazing food have gotten takeout here plenty of times before, can even eat in the front!
I had takeout -- panang curry🍛 delicious!! + great way to support local family businesses. Ill be ordering here more often!
Delicious food. Many options on the menu. Prepared fresh, very tasty. Wonderful customer service. They are very helpful and accommodate any request. Online ordering is very easy. Prices are reasonable and portions are very generous. Thank you Tasty Thai and Sam!! We will be ordering from you again soon.
I ordered the chicken and vegetables, supposed to be spicy, it wasn’t and there was no flavor. Very disappointed, first time in all the years I’ve gone there. The shrimp dumpling were okay, nothing special. Not sure if it’s new owners, but it'll probably the last for me.
We could give 0 star if there is an option we should have read reviews before come in here. So bad food! Very smelly inside the restaurant. Smelling like damp rug. Tables are covered with table cloths and so sticky and dirty. Overall very poor experience. Please stay away from this restaurant if you want healthy food and environment
Tasty Thai used to have a buffet lunch...since they stopped it (another COVID excuse) it is very very very average...not spicy enough...not authentic enough...small portions...watered-down coconut milk in curries and soups.
Delicious good consistently over the years. Love Rama chicken and fried rice. Yummy pad Thai and curry as well! Owner is a great guy! Support this local business!
The restaurant is modest but the food is always delicious. I’ve been coming to Tasty Thai for years.
Don't go! Tasteless food that is highly overpriced. Restaurant was empty. We should have turned around and left. Gives Thai food a bad name. How do they stay in business?
The absolute best Thai restaurant. This place has been around for a long time now. Modest interior, but the food here is amazing. Try the red or yellow curry. Honestly one of my favorite restaurants, period.
Was pretty dark inside, but some people like that. Our appetizers were very good, but small. I ordered the 'choose your own Curry' the yellow creamy kind with steak and I requested that potatoes be added to the sauce. Somewhat spicy, but delicious. I left full with half an order to take home. Other members of my party were equally satisfied.
Maybe I should have read the reviews first. I ordered the cashew chicken but it was so sweet it tasted more like orange chicken. Tom Kha soup was also very sweet but flavor was ok. The chicken tasted like it had been cooked and then frozen and then thawed again, it didn’t taste like fresh chicken :(
Service was bad. Server was rude from the beginning. She also messed up our order but the food was okay overall.
I had a fantastic and peaceful experience! The server and, I think, the owner/cook were extremely friendly. My coworkers and I had dinner there, and it was a great experience. The service was outstanding, and the food was delightful! We didn't manage to take any pictures, but the Stay chicken, Fried squid, Pad Thai, Panang curry, and shrimp fried rice were all tasty! I highly recommend trying out this restaurant :).
The food was amazing very Tasty! Definitely coming back for more!
The owner is very kind and the food is delicious! I have always had a positive experience here.
I ate at this restaurant for years before I moved to Florida. The food is delicious, best Pad Thai in the area.
Delicious food and you can't beat the pricing. The owner is a nice guy and this place should really be more popular! Pad thai, cashew chicken and the kai tod are amazing, as are the crispy egg rolls 😀
Lunch is ok with panang curry, fried rice, tomyum
good food great value
Our family was in town for a basketball tournament and I was craving Thai food. This place popped up right behind our hotel and I had to try.
When I go to Thai restaurants, I now ask if they serve their Pad Thai sweet. I ask, because that is what I avoid personally. Every Thai place is different and there seems to be about half that serve it this way. Nothing against, just not for me.
I ordered mine to go but staff was friendly and answered my question about the sweetness. They affirmed that theirs is sweeter. So I went with the basil fried rice (hot) and an order of egg rolls. My food was excellent and I would totally come back to get more of what I had.
I see plenty of reviews saying the food was too sweet and left negative reviews. I think this is tough because they are probably just used to their local place that doesn’t serve it this way.
Read the reviews and then weigh the probability you'll receive edible food.
This food was terrible. Do not eat here. The worst shrimp pad thai I've ever had. Appetizers where over fried. The food smells like dirty feet. All the 3 of the 6 tables there had dirty dishes. There where flies in the place. We took 2 or 3 bites and complained but he would not discount or refund any of the bill. The cook/bus boy came out from the kitchen covered in hickies. Very unprofessional. My kids and I do not recommend this place. It really needs to be inspected by the health dept. The bathroom where also dirty w/ overflowing garbage & had a very bad odor.
This place is SO underrated. Please try. You will thank yourself and me. Try the Kai tod chicken. I live in the city and miss it so much. no thai restaurants do it as good as them. Every time I come home I go there.
The food was delicious and the owner is such a nice guy. If you love Thai food it’s a great place.
Authentic & Delicious! I order from there frequently and have been going there since 07’!
Everything we had was crazy sweet. Maybe we just don’t eat enough sugar but this did not taste authentic at all. I had the Pad Thai and it was inedible. Sopping wet, sickly sweet. The tofu had been frozen and was very chewy. Plate was hot like it had been microwaved. Gordon Ramsay gives this two fu*%^# thumbs down.
Tempura vegetables came with three pieces of broccoli and three pieces of thin sweet potato that was hardly worth the near $7 the sauce that accompanied it was overwhelming sweet
Pad Thai was doused in sugar
Tom Kar Soup was very very sweet with no lime like it was described on the menu and was lacking in flavor. Vegetables were essentially raw and uncooked in soup.
Thai iced tea was very sweet too even for someone who likes sugar
Overall experience was very lacking, restaurant smelled dirty and table was sticky. No table touches after food arrived. Left to go find lunch elsewhere. Food is overpriced and not pleasing in any way
Yes this place isn’t super nice but the owner which I think does everything is very friendly. The food is amazing!
Best Pad Thai, Great location, very friendly and fast and reasonable prices
The staff is super friendly, the food was hot and delicious. Do yourself a favor and check it out
Food is ok - not great, but not bad. Noodles are too sweet and mushy, and appetizers are average 3/5. Soups were a 4/5. However, they didn't put any hot sauce or peanuts on the side, despite me asking on the order several times 2/5
Yuck......everything was overcooked and so DRY. First time ordering and my last. Meal was like in soup not thick. Just awful.
Worst Thai food ever! Ordered thom kha soup which was sickly sweet. This is a staple of thai food and this was the worst ever. Also ordered pork panang curry and it smelled like the meat was rotten. Will not return. Shame on you for making inedible dishes! The meat smelled like death in the soup...i felt bad for my garbage disposal having to deal with that nastiness!
Tried this restaurant for the first time tonight. The flavors and textures were off. My pad Thai had no onion or bean sprouts and the noodles were so mushy I had to CUT them. While eating I found a hair in my food. I will not be a returning customer.
Dying in place. Dark filthy dirty, falling apart. Will never return
Overpriced. 5 piece spicy wings for $8.95 were dry and mostly bones, and the sauce was only sweet and sour. Their tempura veggies had 3 small pcsof sliced sweet potatoes and 3 small pieces of broccoli. Pad Thai was too sweet and barely nutty taste, it would've been nice if they included lime wedges on the side. Fried rice was bland. Only the Pad See Eiw was decent. No wonder why their rating is so low. Never again.
I used to go regularly for the lunch buffet. There is no buffet anymore but Sam has kept all the favorites as part of Lunch specials. The spicy basil ground chicken, Kaitod crispy chicken and cashew chicken are awesome. Fried wontons and egg rolls are fresh too. Excellent portions and price compared to other thai places around here!!!!
We did not originally intend to visit this restaurant but our original choice was closed.

The yellow curry was also great but also suffered from being thin and a little watery.
Would definitely think about grabbing takeout again from here if I was in the area!
Nice people great food as always.
Disappointed. Had Pad Thai lunch special. Was really excited to try this place. The Pad Thai tasted and had the texture of having been microwaved. Not freshly made. Couldn't find bean sprouts or egg. Egg rolls were ok. Only thing fresh was the side of rice. Noodles and Co. does a more proper Pad Thai in my opinion. At the very least the food was edible.
The spicy basil chicken is delicious. Portion is good too. Comes with a small side of white rice.
The food is awesome!! Green curry sauce and the wings are fire 🔥
The worst fried rice I ever had, I'll never order food frome that place again.
Food is not my family's taste... too sweet.
Nothing thai about this place
The egg rolls were good, but the Basil chicken with rice was like soup in a bowl and kind of nasty. It smelled like elephant. The restaurant is outdated and shabby and the owner is the only waiter so he’s in the back instead of taking care of the front of the house. I didn’t finish the food because the whole experience was making me sick. The owner asked me for a tip and I only gave $1 because the food and service was bad. Hands down the worse Thai food I ever had. I hadn’t been in years and I use to like it. Last time for me.
Excellent service and flavor.
The servers are always eager and friendly and really well informed about the food and drinks.
Told me I could eat outside but not inside…
I’ve been coming here for 20 years and they have always been consistently fantastic! Amazing flavors and friendly staff! Do yourself a favor and give them a try!
Well! I originally ended up here because I mistook the listing for another Thai restaurant I'd been to. Sorry, Tasty Thai! But I'm glad I made the mistake! This little hole-in-the-wall place has really tasty dishes that are yummy, light, cooked to perfection and easy on the wallet.
I had the red curry, my wife had the basil leaf chicken, extra hot, with fried dumplings. Both dishes were just perfect and we left wanting to try everything else on the menu to see what other delights we'd missed.
We had Thai tea, which is a very sweet tea topped with milk that was too sweet for my taste, but it was yummy nonetheless.
We arrived at noon and the dishes came quickly with only a few minutes' wait. I highly recommend these folks!
Had Tasty Thai for the first time this week, ate there twice this week for their lunch specials because it was so good. Under $10 for the dish, rice, plus two egg rolls! The vegetables were fresh and the taste was great! Staff was very friendly.
Just grabbed the beef hot n spicy noodles it was great first time here definitely coming back 💯🔥
We tried Tasty Thai for the first time and loved the food. We ordered Mus-Su-Mun curry and Red Thai Curry. Both were super delicious and the quantity was sufficient as well. We be back again to try more of their dishes. If you love Thai food, don’t forget to try TASTY THAI!
Restaurant Sam, always makes us feel welcome! He enjoys chatting with us. The food is very tasty. Come in to experience for yourself. He does an excellent pick up service as an add convenience. I like to support as many local establishments that are not a chain or a franchise.
The food tasted amazing but me and my girlfriend had food poisoning unfortunately.
Really good Thai food. Pricing is reasonable. We tried the spicy basil fried rice. It was really good. Portions are good.
First time there today. Got lunch special, great food and reasonably priced. Quick and yummy!
Best Thai food, ever!
Good price, delicious food 👌))
Disappointed. Asked for mild curry with noodles. Got spicy curry on top of italian pasta?! Who does that? Pasta got stuck together, so curry didn't evenly spread through it, but all the liquid went to the sides and bottom with spicy peanuts in top of overcooked ball of stuck together pasta. Didn't have more than 2 bites before throwing it out. Also ordered tom kha soup, it was so sweet, it could have been a pie.
First time eating here and it was bitter sweet. The food was great the service was fast and the owner or manager (I assume) maybe just a working guy but he was awesome as well. Ill will be eating here again. Bitter is when I look at the menu and see their lunch buffet and even the parking lot. Support these small businesses people. And I wish they would open up buffet lunch cause ill be there. Anyone willing to hide in fear while great businesses go under should be ashamed. Anyway... this is great food and highly recommended. Thanks for the extra cilantro
We ordered takeout last Friday. Wanted to try a new Thai place. Cashew chicken was chicken, cashews, green peppers and that was basically it. Chicken fried rice was bland with minimal chicken or veggies. Bummer of an experience 😕
I've been coming to tasty thai for years with my family and we have never had a bad meal here. Everything on the menu is delish! I recommend the Tom yum soup! (My fave!) Please help support this local business!!! ✌️
Foods always got and fresh.Great value to.
Prompt and courteous service and great food!
Great food..!
Very tasty and delicious ! Tried green curry and basil fried rice
One of my favorite restaurants
Best Thai food in this area
Good food, good portions, fast delivery
Great price
I wasn’t sure when I first walked in but the food is so good and the workers were really kind. I was pleasantly surprised and I recommend checking them out!
Love the food and service. For the past ten yrs
It is so common that Japanese restaurant not owned by Japanese and Thai restaurant owned by someone from different country origin but at least the taste of food should represent whatever the restaurant describes for.
Small but excellent buffet, good spice.
Have eaten here several times with no issues until today. Picked up my food, went back to my office and discovered that my chicken was still RAW! Called to let them know what happened and SAM so RUDELY told me that the chicken was not RAW but he would give me a refund. Well you, SAM, have just lost a loyal customer!! Hopefully, you improve on your customer service skills!!!
Not my everyday restaurant... The pad Thai I got doesn't taste like what I had in Thailand.
Very tasty food. The decor is subdued.
Always my favorite Thai Restaurant!
Really good and affordable buffet! Everything taste authentic and wonderful! Friendly owner!
I love this place, food is fantastic, services is quick and friendly, prices are very affordable!
The steak had hair in it and it also tasted like someone threw up in it and you guys are the most weirdest restaurant ever.
I stumbled upon this gem and ordered the red thai curry + noodles for take out. I was BIGLY surprised and will recommend it 100x over. If you're hungry & reading this, you need to go order ASAP.
Polite staff if i may add
Service was slow, food was mediocre, not worth a second visit.
$8.95 Thai Lunch Buffet on Tuesdays and $10.95 rest of the days.
Amazing value for the lunch buffet!
The pad Thai here is still tasty!
The chicken is moist with the pad see ew full of flavor as the yellow curry.
Everything here tastes fantastic!
That is why I always bring my coworkers, friends and family here.
Great service and will they will assist your group!
The Kai Tod crispy chicken is the best flavored crispy chicken I can eat everyday!
I come back here all the time over and over for the chicken!
It was delicious and vegan friendly! It looks very modest and the prices are pretty low, so I didn't know what to expect but my husband and I were very impressed! It was simply delicious!
Best chicken pad thai in the area
Very Tasty food... I hope they make some more revenue and redecorate the place and hire more staff. Good luck to them!!
Absolutely love this place. Love the lunch buffet
Awful Pad Thai dish.
Since moving in this area we have been looking for a good Thai restaurant that we can continously go to. This Thai restaurant definitely has earned our repeated business. The food is very tasty as in the name. Not overly spicy but can definitely be is asked. Love the thai iced tea.
If you like Thai you need to eat here. Love those crab Rangoon!
Pad Thai is the most basic thai dish and it is up to my standard. Sorry
A Vernon Hills staple! Thai lunch buffet - go early if possible
Their food is excellent, the dining needs to be refreshed.
The lunch buffet is simple and delicious.
We ordered curry chicken fried rice and pad thai noodles.The curry fried rice was pathetic and myself and my kids got severe stomach ache after eating the curry fried rice.The pad thai noodles is the worst noodles I ever ate in my life...
Love this place, we go for the lunch buffet! It is always fresh and hot!
Worst Thai food I ever ate in my life. I ordered curry flavored vegetable fried rice and I can see that the vegetables are smelly outdated. Rice used in the fried rice is squishy and sticky.
Is this a Thai place? I got padthai and basil fried rice. Pad Thai tastes straight up ketchup. No peanuts. Asked for med. spice but not spicy at all. Basil fried tastes like a chinese fried rice that you get on the side in a lunch special. Found 2 basil leaves. If you ever tried Thai food before don't go here bc you will know this is not Thai. The prices were ok tho.
Really great yellow curry w chicken! Delivered to my home on time and hot!
I ordered Nam Sod Chicken Salad for lunch and went and picked it up. I got back to the office to eat it and only had a pile of ground chicken with 4 slices of cucumbers. It is supposed to be served on lettuce. I called and was told they always do that when they run out of lettuce. I said he should have told me and his response was its what we always do. He did not inform me nor would he give me a refund. I did not get what I paid for.
Nice!
Not quite authentic Thai.
I've never really had a negative experience here. I don't frequent the restaurant often but when I do, I always get the lunch buffet. When the kitchen/employees are on top of getting fresh food out I find it delicious. I'm not claiming it to be authentic Thai food but it's still good to me. I gave it 3 stars because the restaurant is in DESPERATE need of a complete renovation. Like, take every single thing out and start from scratch. There is ZERO ambiance and I believe it takes away from the experience of eating there.
I was here a few months ago with a group for a friend's birthday. The food was great and the waiters were some of the sweetest servers I've ever met. So patient and attentive. Check them out. Their lunch buffet is a great deal because you get to check out all kinds of dishes for a great price.
Great Food, Great Prices
I'm giving this restaurant only 1 star because it's not authentic Thai food. I should have known as soon as I walked in and was greeted by the Greek guy. But I gave it the benefit of the doubt thinking surely the cook is Thai. Nope. Wrong. I could tell immediately. My wife is Thai. Im in Thailand about 5 or 6 times a year. I've had real Thai food. And I indersunde this isn't Thailand. But who runs a Thai restaurant without Thai people? Especially the cook?? I ordered my food in Thai, and the guy had no idea what I was saying. So in English I asked for the green curry with pork, spicy. I was there with my mother, she ordered a different dish. First, real Thai restaurants will give you a bowl of rice with EACH dish. Not one bowl for everyone to share. Second, my food was not spicy, and had things in it that didn't belong, like noodles and big chunks of bell pepper. Yet was missing some of the normal ingredients that always go in that dish. The whole flavor was completely different than what it was sposed to taste like. Very disappointing. Not to mention, our bill was nearly 30 dollars. That's a bit expensive for fake Thai food. You can buy our entire meal in Thailand for under 300 baht (or about 9 dollars). If you want real Thai food this isn't the place. If you never had authentic Thai food, you'll never know what you're missing if you eat here. I would suggest a different Thai restaurant. One that actually had Thai employees and cooks.
It's not the best Thai restaurant, but you can't beat the cheap lunch buffet. This is one of my go-to places when I'm craving Thai food.
We ordered the Pad Thai chicken noodles and the Thaid chicken fried rice. They were out of the sesame peanut chicken entree.The only thing tasty about this place is the name. The chicken was too bland and the noodles had too much souce. Me and the other person who had the noddles got sick after. The rice was a bit better but the chicken was still bland. The place looked old and dark. The service was good. I would never go back.
I was discriminated against today at this establishment...Tuesday buffet is advertised at 8.95...I get my bill for 8.95 during my 2nd plate...I go up a 3rd time to get just a little bit more and he changed the price to regular price and said he will lose money if he didnt up the price...did this to another customer before me too...BAD ILLEGAL BUSINESS
Friendly staff. Amazing food. Great food for the prices. Always a pleasant experience.
The great food !!!!
Great lunch buffet!
The food here is amazing! Authentic Thai cuisine. Their Chiw Fun noodles are to die for!
3 1/2 stars. Good value lunch buffet...$10.95. Food is tasty. 6 entrees vary in spice level for various tastes. Mixed appetizers and vegetables, steamed and fried rice. Or if you prefer you can order off regular menu.
Great food and great prices
Good and tasty food. Nice ambience. Good background music. Food is inexpensive.
This place is right next to indian restaurant aromas of india. I have been to this restaurant once and ordered the red curry with vegetables. It's an average place and doesn't look very clean. Vegetables were not cooked properly and it tasted undecooked. Its ok to have food here if you don't have any other option.
Great place. The owner works his behind off to keep this place going. The lunch buffet has hit the spot many times!
Good food, slow replenishing the buffet
Great lunch buffet! Chicken Kai Tod is one of a kind.
