Diner Review №1

Wow! One of my friend who owning a Thai restaurant was recommended to me about this place. So! I came and tried. Excellent , amazing Thai foods. I love it and will come back soon

Diner Review №2

By far the BEST Thai restaurant in Louisville!!!
Customer service, food and cleanliness are all 5 stars.
They offer gluten free soy sauce, and will adjust their dishes to fit your dietary needs.

Diner Review №3

I'll start with portions are quite small and I'm always disappointed by this (somehow I keep forgetting this when I return each time(. That said, food is decent (hit or miss depending on the dish)!

We tried:
- shrimp salad: fresh shrimp and great spice flavors (probably my favorite dish there)
- drunken noodles: just meh. Hardly any protein. Definitely didn't see any basil
- panang curry: could this dish be any smaller and lacking? They basically just gave us curry liquid.
- seafood stir fry: decent except the liquid was a bit tart (could go without the imitation crab)
- ginger fish: love the crispy fish filet in this dish
- cashew chicken: liquid in this dish was a bit salty but the overall dish is good
- Thai tea: WAY TOO SWEET

I did not like that they removed the Thai names of dishes from the menu. But, I overheard a table next to me expressing great pleasure in this change. So probably the right move for their customers.

Bahn Thai used to be our favorite spot in Louisville but it's only mid now.

I've regularly eaten at Bahn Thai (about once a week) for a few years now. I've tried nearly every item on the menu and the food is always consistently good. To top it off, the staff are always helpful and friendly. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone - it's among my favorites.

Diner Review №5

This used to be a go-to for wonderful food every time, but unfortunately they have become very inconsistent with the quality of the dishes. Some days are excellent! But more and more frequently it seems there is someone in the cooking rotation that does not do a very good job, especially with under seasoning and making really bland dishes or making things too sweet. It’s started to feel like a gamble on whether we’ll get the delicious food we love or the incredibly disappointing versions. I’m holding out hope on being able to take this review down and return to 5 stars, but also feeling reluctant to order again.

Diner Review №7

Fantastic food. Small restaurant, but great for carryout.

Diner Review №8

This was probably our favorite vegan meal while we were visiting in Louisville. We got the tofu soup for an appetizer, and then we got the panang tofu Curry with potatoes added. It was delicious, had lots of veggies, and was vegan. The price was reasonable for what we got as well. The service was also fantastic! We would highly recommend!

Diner Review №9

Authentic Thai food at a reasonable price.
Nice little restaurant for dine in or carryout.

Diner Review №10

Worth visiting this place. They have always serve great food with a great hospitality.

Diner Review №11

A little pricey. Good food and service! Could be cleaner!

Diner Review №12

Stopped here on our way back to Louisville after a day on the Bourbon Trail. Service and food were excellent. Appetizer platter, cashew chicken, and sweet-and-sour chicken all hit the spot.

Diner Review №13

Meal ready in 5 minutes. Very good. I love they coconut soup too

Diner Review №14

One of the best restaurants in the entire city and definitely the best Thai restaurant I’ve ever gone to! I try something different every time I go and I’m never disappointed :)

Diner Review №15

The first time I ordered from here was about three weeks ago, and it was so sweet that I actually have to throw it away. I couldn't even eat it. So I decided to give it a second chance since I didn't tell them to hold the sugar the first time, and ordered 2 dishes. I specifically asked them not to put any sweet. I can't eat sweet. I took the food home and it is so sweet again. It's so sickening sweet that I cannot eat it. I have wasted twenty nine dollars plus tips and again I have had to throw it away. I will never go back.

Diner Review №16

We actually came to the area to try the Mediterranean place next door, but it was closed. We were hesitant to try here because we were recently burned by a new restaurant experience. I’m so glad we continued.

I’ve never had Thai food before, but this was soooo good. My kids got chicken nuggets and fries and they devoured them. That isn’t always something they do. I tried a nibble and they were tasty.

My husband got a seafood noodle soup and he liked it. I tasted a scallop and the broth out of it. The soup was flavorful and the scallop good.

I got the beef garlic stir fry. I was in love with it. I’ve attempted to make a dish like this at home and it was nowhere near as good as this place. I’m craving more of the sauce.

We left all happy and full but not disgusting feeling. We are already discussing when we can go back.

Diner Review №17

I have been to alot of Thai restaurants, but this one takes the prize. I drive over a hour to just eat at this restaurant and it's always worth the drive.

Diner Review №18

I absolutely love this place! I drive an hour just to eat here and it is well worth it! The atmosphere is so friendly and the Ragoon is amazing!

Diner Review №21

Food is all fantastic. Though we mainly get it delivered or go for lunch since they don’t serve alcohol and I like to have a glass of wine with date night!

Diner Review №22

The best pork dumplings I've ever had! Rangoon was amazing. Pad Thai was amazing. I got a level 3 and it was pretty spicy. Highly Recommend!!

Diner Review №23

My #1 Thai place to go. ❤️

Diner Review №24

Great food. Great service. Great prices.

Diner Review №25

We went to Bahn Thai looking at the great rating. I should say I was a little disappointed. Ordered jungle curry tofu, cashew chicken, chicken pad thai, and red curry chicken. The jungle curry was better than the others. Cashew chicken was full of soy sauce. Red curry chicken was quite mediocre. Chicken pad thai was a tad too sweet. The positive thing is that it is wallet friendly but I guess, you get what you pay for!!!!! All in all, it was just ok for me, and I don't think I will be returning here. I felt there are better thai places in Louisville.

Diner Review №26

The basil pork fried rice is the best dish here. 100/10

Diner Review №27

The food and service was excellent! It is a little confusing as to "seat yourself" or order at the counter and I think it's because they get more take out orders than dine in, but we enjoyed our lunch very much and we will be back. We had the Basil chicken and the Chicken and Vegetables. Both were delicious.

Diner Review №28

Excellent food. Chicken Pad Thai, crab rangoon and hot and sour soup. Friend had the tofu curry and really enjoyed. I have yet to have anything I didn't like.

Diner Review №29

The service was quick, the staff was friendly and the food was amazing! I've finally found my go-to Thai place.

Diner Review №30

We've NEVER had a bad experience rather we did take out or dined in. I love their food so much! Tried something new today, the Chicken pad Thai and it is so stinking good. I usually get the drunkin noodle but this Chicken Pad Thai is the best I've had so far. 10 stars if I could! My husband and I both love their food. We also got 2 orders of spring rolls which are amazing

Went here for lunch while in the area for work. Great service and very fast. Prices on par with other establishments. I had the Pad Thai and Satay Chicken, both were delicious! I love Thai food and have been to many Thai restaurants, I would place Bahn Thai toward the top of list and highly recommend.

Diner Review №44

The spring rolls are the best I've ever had. The entree was excellent as well. Will definitely go often

Diner Review №45

This is where I usually suggest meeting with people for lunch. Great authentic Thai food!

Diner Review №46

Name changed, still same menu and delicious food that Sala Thai had.

Variety of noodle and curry dishes with your choice of spice levels and meat (or vegetables).

I got the mung bean noodle with chicken, substituted onions for mushrooms Thai spicy and my partner got pad Thai chicken.

Another huge improvement is the music change. Finally not playing the religious junk. Hate having religion shoved down my throat.

Diner Review №47

Best most authentic Thai food in the area. Staff is always friendly. Food is always brought out quickly. I have nothing to complain about. Even the restrooms are very clean.

Great food, lovely staff! Super picky with my Thai food and this is the best I’ve had in Louisville!

Diner Review №51

Best Thai food! Love all the curry dishes

Diner Review №52

Do you need more info than the photo? Not worth $14-15 for the pineapple curry. Literally looks like they dumped a can of mixed veggies and pineapple in curry paste

Diner Review №53

Usually 5 stars and our go to place when we are in town, but today, I have to knock off one star for the long white hair I pulled out of the drunken noodles and another for the hours I spent on the toilet this evening. First time they’ve disappointed.

Diner Review №54

Management seems to be nicer that the previous one. Food is still great but pad thai seems less tastier than before?

Diner Review №55

Outstanding. Best Thai in Louisville!

Diner Review №56

This restaurant used to be named Sala Thai. The new owners have kept the exact same recipes and cooks. Everything we've tried has been excellent!!

Diner Review №57

Formerly Sala Thai, this is my favorite restaurant in Louisville. Their curries are fantastic, especially panang, yellow and jungle. Drunken noodles and pad thai are also delicious. Also try their basil fried rice! Staff are always friendly and service is great!
