A warm yellow eatery with dark-wood furniture offering a menu of Thai soups, rolls & curries.
First time here as I heard good things, but unfortunately expectations felt short. Their chicken satay was savory…..and sweet? (This confused me, why sweet?!). Appetizer sampler platter was just OK. Panang chicken curry 🍛 left me wanting (wishing I ordered something else). Thai iced tea lacked a bit of flavor. Ambiance was good, and service was friendly and helpful though! Not enough for me to come back.
My husband & I love Thai Drift so much! By far the best Thai in the county--we've tried several others, but nothing comes close. We love all their curries--the pumpkin, pineapple, & massaman are my favorites.
Thai Drift is also an office favorite. Their lunch specials are great--yummy and a good value for the amount of food you get.
And they're so friendly--I love being greeted by name & being able to order "the usual."
The Food is absolutely delicious, and by far the best Thai that we have eaten both here in the US, and also the UK.
The appetizer sampler is great value for money, and perfect to try several Thai Specialities, And is plenty for 2-3 people to share.
We have tried each and every single one of Thai Drifts mouthwatering curries, they are all individually packed full of flavor, and contain a very generous portion of meat, and vegetables.
Our personal favourite being the Pumpkin Curry, and we can always request the level of spice we require without any issue.
The staff are always incredibly friendly, greeting us by name and even memorizing our orders.
They clearly care about their customer base, unlike many other restaurants.
This is Not just our favourite Thai restaurant, But our overall favorite restaurant within Utah.
You will not be disappointed!!
Thai Drift is one of my favorite Thai restaurants. The food is fantastic! Their Massaman curry is better than any I've ever had. Their egg rolls and pork dumplings are excellent appetizers, and I highly recommend. I also recommend looking at their lunch specials - great prices and decent portions.
The service is efficient and they'll get you in and out quickly, so it's perfect for an hour work lunch. You may need to be proactive on seeking out refills or getting someone's attention, so don't be shy. Thai Drift has amazing food and great bang for your buck.
This was a delicious restaurant with kind staff and great service.
They had very yummy flavors for food and great appetizers. However, my bowl and a spoon of another guest smelled like a barn. It was weather difficult to avoid that smell that was very strong and potently coming from the utensils. The food didn’t taste like the smell, luckily, but it was a rather weird thing to cope with while eating. Other than that I would highly recommend it! My previous times eating here have been delightful and always delicious.
Had seen this before while driving, but finally the stars aligned and was able to stop for dinner service. We were seated right away, and the location was clean with a nice ambiance. We ordered pot stickers for appetizers, and by the time we were starting them our entrees were ready. We had tamarind chicken and pineapple curry and we both really enjoyed them. All in all we finished all the food, and I felt the price was reasonable for both the quality and quantity. Really can't think of a complaint! We'll be back for sure!
The service is amazing here! They’re so kind and quick to help. Portions are generous. Massaman curry is amazing, the curry soup is as well. The pad thai was not super flavorful. Otherwise, we will be back!
Best Thai food around. Best lunch meal in town. On Mondays, their Yellow curry is top notch! On Thursdays lunch, their massaman is amazing too! Comes with dumplings or spring roll or egg rolls depending on the day. Definitely my go-to restaurant.
Tasty Thai food for an affordable price. I got the green curry, very satisfying.

I order to go here regularly and love the food. All the employees are so kind, and the lunch special prices are unbeatable.

The pumpkin curry is amazing!
Tom Yam, massaman curry, ice cream all wonderful.
The massaman curry is really tasty here! My wife likes their pad Thai too...but it was strange tonight. Flavor was off on the Pad Thai. We'll definitely give it another go in the future though because we've always had really good food here.
This is our overall favorite place to eat in Utah County. The staff are always attentive and friendly. The food is amazing, especially their curry.
Best thai food hands down. Been coming here for years. My favorite people ❤️
Cream cheese wontons… amazing! Love the yellow curry also!
I’ve eaten here many times. Everything is excellent. Quality of the food is fantastic and the lunch specials are easy on your wallet. Great value, great people and great food you can’t ask for more
Hands down, this place is THE best Thai food!
The service is amazing here! They’re so kind and quick to help. Portions are generous. Massaman curry is amazing, the curry soup is as well. The pad thai was not super flavorful. Otherwise, we will be back!
This is my favorite Thai place in the valley! The food has been consistently good every time, and the service has always been great.

Not authentic
Chicken was dry
Pad thai was flavorless, no spice
8/05 Monday dinner. Ordered drunken noodles and thought the ingredients were not fresh as I was eating it. My husband suffered from food poisoning that evening and I had a stomachache all day the next day. / Visited 2023 Nov for lunch. The staff lay down on the table chair to say goodbye. I probably won't visit again.
Delicious! Highly recommended
Waitress charged more of a tip than what I wrote. Only a few bucks, but it goes to show the ethics of the business and staff. They steal from their customers.
Excellent choice options for vegetarian & vegan needs. Attentive service.
Best Thai food I’ve ever had. This is the only place to get it!
I love their Masaman Curry!
I came in for a lunch order to take out. I’m not super familiar with their lunch specials and thought the sides were the same every day. Apparently they’re not and the woman (who said she was the owner) sure made me know that I was Wrong. She was rude and condescending.
I left a note on my receipt saying that I understand they are busy but it’s not cool to treat people that way and we love it here so it would be sad to lose this place over horrible service.
She proceeded to cancel my order void my payment and tell me to never come back.
I’m a server and have worked in the food industry for a while now and I would NEVER treat someone the way she did. I would MAYBE understand if I was being a total Karen. But I was Nice and when I talked To her I was nice just disappointed.
I’m sorry, no matter how busy you are, you never treat a loyal coming for years customer that way.
Great food
We had Pad Thai and Sweet and Sour Chicken. The food was excellent. The service was friendly and quick. We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch.

Good Thai food in the Orem Area.
This is definitely one of my go to places for lunch! Food is delicious, the service is fast, and the prices are outstanding!
Vegans or those with severe fish allergies beware. I've been to this place three times, and usually, the staff has been awesome about making their yellow curry “vegan” for me. I always stress "no meat, just tofu, and no fish sauce." But today, the person serving me dropped the bomb that fish sauce is everywhere and can't be skipped. It's a bummer realizing I might've unknowingly had fish sauce in my meal. Seems like some folks there might think being vegan just means no meat and forget about things like fish sauce. If that’s the case, the only vegan thing there is spring rolls with veggies only.
Ordered a masaman curry and pad thai. The masaman was good, but the pad thai had literally NO flavor. This is the second time this has happened there. Wouldn't recommend.
The latest ownership/management has placed nickel and diming over customer service.
The food was okay. Overall, the flavor was good, but it seemed to be lacking in freshness. Exceptional service, in spite of who I presume to be the owner, loudly chastising her employees throughout the meal. Very awkward, but nice venue.
Sadly, this place is a shadow of it's former glory.
5/3/2023 I ordered several of my favorites. All were lacking. The beef waterfall salad has very few herbal notes it's famous for.
The pad thai and mussaman curry literally has no salinity. No sense of fish sauce.
I'm so sad as this place was one of my go to places to get food.
I called to speak to the manager but she was unsurprisingly not there.
Nice place for lunch.
It was delicious and I'll definitely go there again. They have fabulous lunch specials, too! The only thing I thought was odd is that they are using serving dishes that are take home containers. Our sticky rice came in a plastic bag and our soup came in a styrofoam bowl. Other than that, it was amazing!
We have eaten here and ordered take out so many times from Thai Drift. Its our go-to for Thai food, even though its is about 8 miles away from us. The Massaman Curry is the best. We can eat that every day.
UPDATE:
We just ate here on Sept 23, 2023 and it was just a good now as it was in this 2 year old review! I always eat way too much. Love this place!
I love this place
Pretty good food. Staff was very friendly.
Really nice food with great quantity. People were really welcoming and food delivery was quick.
The portion is huge, it taste great, it's vegan, gluten free, super flavorful, veggies are fresh, tofu is cooked perfectly. As a person with digestive issues, it's exciting to find a place that has a dish that is perfect for me. It has none of my food sensitivities in it, and, it is curry but isn't spicy. Which I need something not spicy. Excellent, new favorite place.
The tamarin chicken was delicious!
#ThaiDrift is in a corner strip mall and has easy parking in front. They do a lot of delivery and take-out but I like sitting down. I was seated right away. I love fresh spring rolls so started with #FreshSpringRolls made with pork which is definitely a plus, often they are only made vegetarian. I also ordered the Friday lunch special of #redChickenCurry with fried #Dumplings and rice. It all tasted great, a wonderful lunch.
Picked up take out for my daughter and me to eat in the park our only night together as she was on her way back to Colorado. Two long pieces of hair in her fried rice! It was so gross we called go all the way back they only give a refund on her portion. Didn't care that it completely ruined our only time together. Zero customer service. We definitely felt like the staff didn't care that we spent our entire only time together on their lack of hygiene. So check your food carefully. Unsanitary will not return which is a shame because they have delicious food.
Very Authentic and delicious Thai food.
Cheap very cheap, my food tasted like rotton broccoli and canned corn. They saw i wasnt eating and they asked what was wrong, they just took the food away. This place is gross, duct tape on seats pealing paint, avoid.
The Galanga Coconut Soup is life changing
My favorite Thai food in Utah county. Friendly staff and competitive prices. I recommend the beef waterfall salad.
Great food, from the service, would go again
First time here with our family. We love Thai food and have been to most Thai restaurants in the Utah Valley.
When we arrived we were seated quickly and the staff taking orders seemed very kind. They took our order and brought out some appatizers. The satay chicken and spring rolls came out in about 5 minutes and did not taste fresh at all. They both lacked flavor and had to be drenched in the sauce in order to taste good. The rice that came with the satay chicken was in a sandwich bag and was very hard and sticky. Almost tasted a few days old. The spring rolls seemed very limp and skinny and the beef was very bland. They looked nothing like most springrolls. We were not impressed with either of those.
We all ordered some curry and that came out hot and delicious
It tasted great and actually came with fresh rice. The only issue with it was that it only had a few cashews in it. When we asked if they has a small cup of cashews that we could dump into the curry the waiter said " I will ask them but I am not sure if we can or not" He came back and told us that they said "no we cannot do that" Very odd to deny a customer such a simple and small request.
The appetizers were seved on glass plates but the curry and rice came in to-go boxes and paper to-go cups. It just didn't give a nice sit down restaurant vibe. I was wondering why nobody was refilling our waters when I realized there was a vase of water on the table that had been there the entire time. I thought it was for flowers originally, until they informed me it was drinking water. Not too sure how long it was sitting there.
We let the staff know that we loved the curry but that the appetizers were very bland and didn't taste good at all, and they just said "I'm sorry about that" but didn't do anything about it.
I think this place has some good potential and can make some great food. They just need to iron out the edges first. I hope they improve so that I can go back again someday with a better experience.
I love the food here, and my family eats here often. The service here is usually great. They really deserve 4-5 stars.
Today I sat down to eat lunch, they have specific menu items for each day and at the top of the lunch menu it says "no substitutions" which is understandable.
I'm gluten-free, however, which limits what I can eat. I asked if they could substitute one of the appetizers for a gluten free option from one of the other days (they only offer gluten options on Tuesdays, though on Mondays they offer a spring roll, which is gluten-free).
The waitress initially said no, but because of my dietary restrictions, she went and asked the kitchen. The kitchen said no as well, because today is Tuesday.
So I left to eat lunch somewhere else. I could've gotten a full entre, but I was looking to spend <$10 on lunch. I still love it here, but I wish they were slightly more accommodating.
I still highly recommend eating here, just not if you're trying to get a gluten-free lunch on a Tuesday.
Great Food.
First time here and it was delicious!! They seated right away and the staff was helpful and friendly. Will definitely return.
Great food! The service was excellent as well.
Thai Drift is a hidden gem! Their food is always full of flavor and surprisingly not too heavy on the stomach. The price point here is also really good, which makes it even better. I've been to Thai Drift multiple times and I'm never disappointed. Highly recommend if you're in the mood for some delicious Thai food!
The food was super good. First time visiting, would definately go again.
There's a reason they've been ranked the best Thai Food Restaurant in Utah! We've loved everything we've tried. You won't be disappointed!
Great tamarind chicken. Fried pork dumplings were delicious!
We recently started going to Thai Drift after I received a celiacs diagnosis. They have good gluten free options and the food has been wonderful. We usually order the Massaman Curry and the Me Gra Tee. The Chicken Satay appetizer and Mango Sticky Rice dessert are also favorites.
The server/owner is so kind. She recognizes us whenever we come and is so personable. My kids love to come with us and she always interacts with them like they are family. We have been coming here for about 6 months and we will keep coming back for sure.
I’ve been here a few times and every time I’m not impressed. I wanted Thai but didn’t wanted something close, I decided to give this place one last shot. Every menu item I have had there has been disappointing compared to every other local Thai place. There are way better options in the same price range. Never making the mistake again.
Wait staff was polite. Food was pretty good. Shrimp were perfectly cooked in my panang. I will go back. Not the best Thai I have had but pretty close. We teased the wait staff when they turned on the lights to clean up. We were the last people there but they broke the mood with the abrupt brightness. Not complaining, just amused.
Best Thai place around. My wife and I order from here once a week!
Good food and service. Attentive servers and prompt responses. Even better that I wasn't paying and it was a business lunch.
Their Tamarind Chicken is to die for... I think I might have an addiction...
I gave them five stars because the servers have always treated me kindly and been so attentive to me. For example, today, I got back from a trip and craved Thai, so I called 15 minutes before close (rude, I know, don't do what I do...), And they were so accommodating! They were kind to let me place my order and had it ready for me quickly, and they did it with a smile even though I am sure it was such a bother.
Definitely the best Thai food in the area. The food is great quality, delicious and well-priced. Many of the menu items can easily be modified to fit a vegan or vegetarian diet. The wait time for food is short; even when the restaurant is full. The servers are kind, helpful and attentive. This is one of my favorite destinations for lunch and I highly recommend it!
favourite coconut soup
I got the seafood entree and it was delicious
Awesome flavors. We had the Massaman Curry, so good and filling. We also had the Tai noodles, delicious and peanutty.
I used to rave about this place. The flavors are good but I've noticed, sadly, the quality has gone downhill. I ordered the spring rolls today and they were the thinnest spring rolls I have ever seen(usually very well made)and I get then often from different location's as they're my favorite. The spring rolls had barely any veggies and the pork didn't taste like pork. Very disappointing. I have also experienced the curry being more watered down than in the past.
Since the new year they have switched to plastic plates and serve the food in to go boxes. I get that most people ask for to go boxes but isn't that part of any business practice? To have to go boxes for ppl who need them after they're done eating? My plastic plate kept moving around as I was trying to eat my curry because it didn't have that nice weight to it that the previous dinnerware had. Since the switch to plastic the experience is not there. It has changed the esthetic of the whole place in my opinion.
On top of the downhill quality, I don't feel like going to a restaurant to eat on plastic for a lunch or dinner date. Unfortunately, my Thai experience will have to go elsewhere. With a family of six and regular date nights, that's a lot of money that will go elsewhere. Big bummer Thai Drift.
“Best Of Utah Valley”?? Try: Most Rude to Staff, Most Paranoid, Most Cheap, and Most Empty of Utah Valley.
The sticker on the front door of Thai Drift says “Best of Utah Valley: 2016”. They should take it down if they don’t believe they’re the best.
Upon entering Thai Drift you’ll be greeted by a woman yelling at the waiter to seat you. Well, she said “…please?” after yelling at him so she’s only a little rude. This was not a child. This was a store worker yelling at their employees. The most rude and offensive treatment of an employee to a high school worker I have ever witnessed.
The award for first sit-down restaurant on State Street to go ALL PLASTIC goes to… Thai Drift. I felt like I was at a 4th of July picnic. Did Covid cause a glass plate shortage too? Fastest way to loose customers and sell restaurant equipment on KSL: cut corners with your customers (and make sure you tell them about your All-Plastic policy by taping signs next to each table). Get out of the restaurant business if you treat your customers like a nuisance to your family life.
We were the only ones parked in the parking lot and only ones in the restaurant. So long Thai Drift. You’ll be bought out by Pier 1 Imports in less than 6 months. They’re always looking for sad, empty buildings to move into. At least you’ll equip them with enough security cameras - 6 to be exact. Two were pointed at us the entire meal.
It’s reassuring to know the customers at Thai Drift are also the enemy. Sit down, relax, and enjoy being filmed by creepy management watching every bite you take. They filmed one of their last customers. Good riddance
I love this place, the meals are cheap and absolutely delicious
Pumpkin Curry is my consistent choice. Love the little bit of spice with a little sweet from the pumpkin! The perfect comfort food combo!
Always a great experience. Wonderful food, and nice prices.
Very disappointed. Took my friend from out of state here for dinner. Our dishes were served in Styrofoam ToGo containers. Our sever never came back to check on us. When we were seated there was a carafe of water already sitting on the table. I don't know how long it had been sitting there so we weren't comfortable refilling our cups (not glasses) with that. After we left all our clothing smelled like fried food. When you dress nicely and take the time to go to a sit down restaurant this is definitely NOT the experience you are looking for.
Best Thai Food I have ever eaten and quality of service is fast, efficient and friendly!!!!!
Traci Maye
We love thai drift and have been coming for years. Always fast, friendly and delicious!
Thai Drift is a family favorite and the food 8s excellent.
OK food fast service kinda dumpy
As a native Thai, I avoid going out to eat Thai food at restaurants because I don’t always get authentic Thai food when I do go. However, I decided to check out Thai Drift earlier today because I had heard so much good about this restaurant in Orem, Utah. I was pleasantly surprised by the food and the friendliness of the owners and the workers. The food was authentically fantastic, just like you get in Thailand. The portions were great and the prices were reasonable. You will not be disappointed with any dish at this restaurant. I highly recommend it.
Amazing Thai restaurant!
Best Thai curry in the area. Spring rolls are incredible. To-go ordering is quick. What's not to love?
Super delicious!
This is a quaint little place. It is by no means a fancy or upscale Thai restaurant, but it does have pretty good food!
The waitress was really rude, the food was not worth the money and the atmosphere was down beat, ne er eat there again
My husband and I come here all the time and we always order the same thing. Thai fried rice and massaman curry. We always have to order an extra side of rice because they never give you enough with take out. Unfortunately, the curry has been very hit or miss recently. Some days it’s great and some days it’s got an odd taste to it. Some days it’s also very watered down and has no flavor at all. The Thai Fried rice however is always good and i like the Pad Woonsen but we don’t get it every time. Unfortunately with the inconsistencies i can’t give it any more than 3 stars. :/
I ordered takeout and asked for spicy chicken Pad Thai. I paid $12.98 it was small, had no spice, and was kind of bland. Would not recommend.
We were very disappointed. The "spicy" rice had no spice, and every entree was excessively sweet. I love Thai food usually. The service was great and the food looked ok. It jst didnt taste good. We wont go back.
Love their food!! If I'm craving Thai food, this is the place I go!!
Went here tonight and had an awesome server. He was attentive and super nice. Tall blond curly haired high schooler. There was a mix up with orders and another waiter took a Yellow Curry to the wrong table. The customers were asking where their food was and the 2 servers quickly got it taken care of. However the female cook, who is likely an owner was yelling at them throughout the restaurant. She was very upset at this simple mixup. She continued on for several minutes and even came out to make an observation as to what table got the wrong dish. Twice! She was very unprofessional and was verbally abusive to these poor young servers. She kept going on even minutes later, yelling at them from the back kitchen. The customers in the restaurant including us were looking at each other very uncomfortable. What a turn off! Don’t go here unless you want to hear a rude Taiwanese woman yelling at her high school employees who are just doing their best. I tipped him $20.
Food was delicious, service was ok.
This is a wonderful Thai restaurant. I have had curry at dozens of other places. The curry here is the best hands down. Servers are always kind and helpful.
I didn't liked the restaurant decorations. Food was moderate.
Did management change? Ordered a to go meal that took an hour to make even though they gave me a half hour time frame. Restaurant only had a handful of customers in there when I picked it up.
And the meals that we get regularly from this place were way overpriced and very very bland. Massaman curry and pad Thai did not taste the same. The rice was mushy and the curry had no flavor and the pad Thai was very basic. Sadly we can’t justify giving this restaurant another try.
The Fried Rice and Wonton were delicious! However I heard the manager (I am not sure if it was either manager or owner) yelling at her waitresses about being on their phones too much. It was dead when we got there and they were young teenagers who served us. It was very unprofessional and I felt bad for them. Regardless of the situation you do NOT YELL at your staff! I do not care how young they are or if those are family members. There’s a way to say things in a professional environment. You are encouraging toxic work environment!
Great food. It was our first time eating here being out of state and all…The staff was friendly and patient(we had a few modifications) The vibes are chill.
Always delicious! And many vegan options.
The food here is really good and they make it FAST. I’ve been here a handful of times, and the most I’ve waited for my food has been 10-15 minutes. I love coming here during lunch hours to get the daily special. The only downside is that the staff wants to get you out of the restaurant as soon as possible. In three occasions, the waiter/waitress brought the check not even mid meal, not asking if I needed something else or wanted dessert. Last time I visited the restaurant, the waitress told me my plate was too full and asked if I wanted a box 15 minutes after getting my food. The place was almost empty! Even with that, I recommend this restaurant, especially when you’re in a hurry but want good food.
Consistently good food and friendly service.
Not as good plus we found a piece of wire in my kids food brought attention to waitresses he just took it like not surprised I guess it happens very often there.
Delicious that food
Did a take out order. Drove 30 minutes home and they had gotten my order wrong. They forgot to give me the spring rolls that I ordered. I called them and they refused to give me a refund and said the only person that can process a refund is in Thailand. lol.
Also their Pad Thai is not great.
Best ever
Just tried them out tonight. I've had massaman curry from a couple other places and this one blows the others right out of the water. No flavors overpower the others, it's perfectly balanced. It's not spicy but it doesn't need to be because the dish is a symphony of flavors harmonizing in perfect unison! It's the only way I can explain it. The only thing is I would maybe like carrots in it but I'm not totally sure because it was so good I wanted to lick the bowl when I was done. I just found my new curry spot.
Great meals and the lunch special are an awesome deal. Ask for the spice on the side.
Amazing food.
Noticeably better food than many places. I have tried the beef waterfall, panag curry, and chicken with almonds. All were great. The chicken had a breaded crust but did not appear or taste like it had been fried. Most noticeably, the servers all seemed engaged and helped each other in genuine team fashion. Great experience each time I have been there.
Everything was overly sweet. Far from authentic Thai food.
Food was great, but service eating in the restaurant was really poor. Like about the worst I have ever experienced. Took about an hour to get an appetizer, waited for long intervals to get water, and food took forever. Frustrating watching all the door dash dishes being prepared while everyone is sitting waiting for food. Almost died of hunger! Well, maybe not that bad!😵
Delicious food. Service was fast and friendly. The food was sooo good. The pumpkin curry soup was soooooo food. Eat it over rice. Yummmm.
The drunken noodles are also a favorite.
We tried the sampler appetizer and that was good too. The sauces were fun to try.
My boyfriend and I came here and got the coconut soup and the garlic chicken. Amazing!!! Also, the staff was incredibly nice. In case you haven't heard, this place made top 100 in the USA for favorite restaurants to order from with Door Dash. Top 100 in the whole nation! That's amazing!
Ordered on DoorDash, it took a little long (well worth it) my order didn’t come with silverware that’s the only downside. However it was definitely worth the wait I WOULD DEFINITELY ORDER AGAIN and DID🤣, TASTE was immaculate. I got a Shrimp Red Curry and I added some veggies. The flavor was AUTHENTIC🫶🏼. DEFINITELY A RECOMMEND💙.
Great food. The thing I like most about the Drift is how consistent it is over time. We have all been to that amazing eatery and then go back only to be disappointed. Solid, consistent options, taste and service.
I had the red curry with chicken- med spice-
Daughter had the noodles with tofu
We also split the sampler- 5 stars just for the sampler!
The food here is pretty good
Amazing Thai food
Just moved to the area and trying out restaurants. Was excited to see a Thai restaurant close with awesome ratings…. We ordered Massaman curry medium and one spicy. Neither had any spice in them or a single carrot in them. Tons of over cooked potatoes and cashews.😖 Order two Thai Fries rice- one medium and one extra spicy. Unfortunately the extra spicy had barely any spice to it(I’d say it’s a mild). Disappointed- had so much potential.
Honestly the worst Thai food I have had. Even though it was a online order there is definitely no way it tastes good in the store. We had ordered the pad Thai (two orders)with beef and it had so much just chicken skin in there which was a big turn off. we also order the spring rolls which has like no filling.Honestly not alot of flavor going on and alot of wrong textures.even my spring roll lettuce was wilted on the inside. My dogs had a great dinner though ! Edit: I guess it's not chicken skin it's egg.
Solid food and excellent lunch specials. They are quick enough to sit down, order, and eat within an hour lunch break if you need. The seats and booths are definitely old and sometimes uncomfortable, but not terrible enough to not enjoy the atmosphere. Unfortunately, one of the waitresses tends to be a little rude and unaccomodating. Although my coworkers and I love this lunch spot, we will likely stop coming because we've had a few instances when this particular waitress complains about things, such as needing to split the check for us.
Good food!
This place is fantastic. My wife and I come here regularly on weekends and get the Pork Spring Rolls and Pad See Ew. The spring roll sauce is delicious, a sweet and sour with peanuts and a slight chili kick to it. Both are enough to fill us up and it's very affordable. It's our go-to thai place
One of the best Thai places I’ve had in Utah. They make great Pad Thai, Pad Woon sen, Currie, and Egg Rolls.
Always the best vegetarian yellow curry.
Great lunch specials! We had the Red Curry, it was absolutely delicious. I was having a hard time choosing between that and the Pineapple Curry. Next time I'll try the Pineapple and order some Red to go because it's so so good. I'm getting hungry again just thinking about it.
Also, everyone here was so sweet. It was the perfect lunch place for today. 😊
The best place in Utah county for drunken noodles (next to Sabaidee in Lehi).
I eat a lot of Thai and this place is great for the drunken noodles. Above average on everything else. Highly recommend. Expect to pay $12-$15 per person
Love the food, however, the owner has little to no people skills, which is ironic considering her chosen profession.
Very tasty and we didn't have to wait long at all. My wife always orders Pad Thai, and she loved this one. I got the beef stir fry and it was great.
The spring rolls were amazing and the peanut was to die for.
I love eating here! They have the best Thai food around. The service is great. The food is served quickly. It’s hot and fresh! Their lunch specials are the best!
I just went there for the first time today and had their massaman curry, lunch special. It was the perfect size and so delicious. I just want to go everyday now to try each of their specials.
Only get the curry, everything else was really bad. The panang was amazing. The guy on the phone was also awesome. The "stir fry" looked like soup. Tasted like brown gravy. The pad Thai was oily, bland and was a solid block of noodles when we opened the container. Very little meat in any if the dishes
The pork had less than an ounce of pork between all 4 rolls. What a waste of 45 bucks! Will definitely not be back.
I have been coming to this wonderful restaurant for over 10 years. It has a great lineup of curries and noodles and soups and salads that never get old. They've become extremely popular and this has resulted in slightly longer wait times. Add to this the fact that you can get food delivered from there by many of the delivery services and they're very busy all the time. So plan on a little longer.
Amazing food and incredibly kind staff. Love this place!
Tough choice between 3 and 4 stars. The dishes here (massaman curry, and then everything else that isn't massaman curry) are all above average, but I didn't write my mom about it. However, it's not a disappointment. I enjoyed every bite. The main reason I went with 3 stars is the Tom Kha soup. This might be the style you like, and it was certainly tasty. I just prefer more lime flavor (there was none) and more coconut milk. I essentially rate every Thai food place mainly by the Tom Kha.
Fresh, tasty and fast! Try the lunch specials during the week.
If you go here on the right day it is 5 star all the way. Unfortunately ever since the started opening other locations the food has been inconsistent. The flavors are perfect one day and bland the next. If you like a minor gamble this is the place for you.
Update: Rolled the dice tonight and got takeout. Pretty good untill I found a suspiciously curly hair in my curry. I am really hoping that it came from somebody's head 🙏
Had a hard time at dinner tonight. Waited 45 minutes to ask where our food was to be told they forgot to turn it in. Asked for an appitizer maybe.. and was told maybe and another 10 minutes. Other guests seated and served 20 minutes later still no food. Finally got it. Asked for a discount a wooden $2.00. plenty of staff. Just bad luck but it wasn't really cared about as a customer.
One of my favorite places to eat. Great food and friendly service.
This was a delicious restaurant with kind staff and great service.
They had very yummy flavors for food and great appetizers. However, my bowl and a spoon of another guest smelled like a barn. It was weather difficult to avoid that smell that was very strong and potently coming from the utensils. The food didn’t taste like the smell, luckily, but it was a rather weird thing to cope with while eating. Other than that I would highly recommend it! My previous times eating here have been delightful and always delicious.
Amazing lunch deals and the food is wonderful
Good cheap thai
Fast, easy-going, delicious.
