Fav Bistro is a hidden gem and the best breakfast in Salt Lake City! Don't let the fact that it is a Thai restaurant keep you away---they make the most amazing breakfasts, both Thai and American styles. On Father's Day we tried to get into other breakfast restaurants and the wait was up to an hour and a half. There was no wait at Fav Bistro and we were so glad we went there---great coffee, great omelets, and every meal comes with lots of perfectly cooked vegetables---the plates are beautiful. And their Thai food is the best we've had in SLC. Seriously wonderful. read more

Love the massaman curry and pad Thai in a blanket. Staff is really polite and friendly. Great restaurant!

This place is an unsung hero. The neighborhood doesn't have many restaurants so I'm glad that fav is here. We have done brunch and dinner multiple times. Brunch is a unique experience, they offer classic Asian breakfasts like egg and rice porridge with chicken as well as yummy American cuisine with an Asian flair; ie amazing coconut milk pancakes. Dinner is a huge menu all of which has been yummy but it's definitely the Asian food not the European that shines. My "favs" at fav have been the soft shell crab and the scallop green curry. Soooo tasty. They offer a truly melt in your mouth, perfectly cooked, seafood flavor explosion. read more

The pad Thai is delicious. It was enough for lunch and dinner. the service was great. Highly recommend this if you like Thai food!

Very very ordinary Thai curry. I've been eating and cooking my own red and yellow curries for a long time and this one wasn't pleasant. The potato wasn't peeled, it felt like it had been cooked in the microwave and was all wrinkly and shrinking. Gross. Also, the curry had slices of tomato in it. I've been seen that. A fruit doesn't belong in there IMO. It was barely edible. No love at all. Upside, my kids PB&J and fries were great. read more

Amazing Food, Filtered water. I have thoroughly enjoyed this lunch. I recommend Thai lovers should drop by!

Awesome place. Great food and service. I had the lettuce wrap (yeah, vegetarian), and my daughter have the seafood pho. So huge! All of us LOVED the food. The owner chatted with us and she is delightful. Do go to this one!!! It is a keeper. read more

This is a tough one to rate. Let's start with the positives...the food is amazing!! We've been 3 times and ordered different items each time. All of them have met or exceeded our expectations, and we set the bar higher than most. The pineapple fried rice, panang curry, kale and dill curry, garlic green beans, and mango sticky rice are especially delicious. The downside is the service. The staff is friendly, but really, really slow, and forgetful. You can see it on the faces of all the customers. Twice we've watched a table sit there for 15-20 minutes waiting to put in their order and clearly getting frustrated. I hope the owners are reading this because we want you to stay in business!! The inconsistent service will keep people away. Also, just a side note for greater appeal. The patio could really use better upkeep - weeds pulled, roses watered, and plants trimmed up some. read more

Authentic Thai food. Super friendly staff. Meats perfectly cooked in the soup. Very relaxing music too. Love this place, rare to find amazing Asian food in Utah. read more

FAV has become my boyfriend and I's go-to restaurant for date nights (or any night, really). After a couple visits, we have become regulars. The always friendly staff basically knows our order (for me, chicken pad Thai without bean sprouts). They also know much we love boba, and trust me, they have THE BEST boba in the valley (can't go wrong with taro or avocado!). The food and service is always consistent. The restaurant itself and clean and beautifully decorated. The best part is that the owner is often there as our waitress, so you know she's super involved with her businesses. If you want more recommendations, I recommend the massaman curry, pineapple fried rice (served in a pineapple), or the fresh spring rolls with peanut sauce. read more

My wife and I love going to Fav Bistro. The pineapple rice is amazing and the curry is fantastic. The prices are very reasonable and the service is great. We will be back soon. read more

Great place for both American and Thai traditional breakfast. Nice decor, relaxing music, wonderful brunch menu complete with mimosa's and bloody Mary's. I haven't tried their non- breakfast dishes yet but we will be back looking forward to trying their lunch and dinner menu read more

They took forever, were over priced, and the food wasn't all that great. They also try to make everything slightly unique which is cool but the execution failed. Go across the street to Tosh instead read more

Shortly after my original review, Fav added all the things I felt were missing to their menu. It's now one of my favorite Thai places. Be careful when you ask for spicy tho. 1 star is like a 5 anywhere else. read more

I love this place. So glad you came to the Holladay/Millcreek area. I love soft-shell crab, which is not necessarily easy to find in Utah, done well. The red curry/soft-shell crab dish here is delicious. It's a bit spendy, but worth every penny. Bravo, Fav Bistro! read more

I have to agree with some of the other reviews on here. If you are in a hurry, avoid coming here! The food is always good, and I love that they have lots of healthy, vegan options, but the service is slow. Tonight it was PAINFULLY slow. My friend and I both left saying that it was one of the worst experiences, service wise, we have ever had. read more

Yummmmmy!!!! Love the Wasatch Savings Book. We decided to try a new place. I'm so glad we did! Wonderful food, atmosphere, and service. The cookies at the end were a nice touch, too. Loved the curry and stir fry. Boba drink and lettuce wraps were amazing, total winner!!! Thanks! read more

I went there with some of my family recently. We really liked it. I got the Thai Fried Egg. It probably wasn't my favorite breakfast but it was really good and it was different and I appreciate that. We all shared the Gypsy French Toast. It was great. All 5 of us had something different. All 5 us left really happy. The service was really great too. read more

I love Fav Bistro! They have a plethora of vegan soups, salads and entrees for me and meat dishes for my husband. Favs food is light, healthy and flavorful. The wait staff are prompt and courteous. read more

The food is soooo delicious! We always get the yellow curry with chicken and the fried spring rolls!! You are guaranteed pure flavor and yummy in your mouth!! read more

This is our favorite Thai place in SLC. We love the sticky wings! Every dish here is great, can't go wrong if you love Thai.

Best Thai food I've had in Utah. Love this place. It's run in a strange way... maybe it doesn't function like a normal restaurant but they really get the food right. Thats what matters anyways. read more

This is the best thai food in town! All of Annie's restaurants are amazing and authentic Thai. I haven't had a bad item yet!

Pro tip: Get take out or Door Dash. Food is phenomenal--we've tried several things on the menu and it's always great. Atmosphere is also good. Service is simply awful. They are nice, but slow, neglectful, and not knowledgeable. read more

This place is pretty dang good. Everything my mom and I ordered was delicious. I couldn't figure out what I wanted so I just got a vegetable pho. But even something as simple as the pho was super delicious. The spring roll appetizer was very delicious and so was our other dish. Our server was also incredibly patient despite allllll of our question lol and the restaurant was cute, clean and relaxing. read more

Love this place. Never fails it's always delish. Sometimes service is a little slow but I don't mind when the food is BOMB!

Hidden jewel, My first time I had the Creamy Seafood - WoW loads of seafood, some tempura, some curried in a coconut! ( became my take home box. Fantastic flavors, best curry I have ever had - I like it on the mild side. Everything fresh. Good service, some of the waiters are a bit newer and don't know the menu as well. Traditional Thai, and Fusion, which I liked. The chef takes real pride in their work and the decor is nice, nice design. I recommend it - but would also like to have it all to myself. read more

The service is nice but the food is sub par. The patio looks cute but I won't ever come back here. Ordered the red curry and it was meh and ordered a cinnamon roll to go and it was rock hard and disgusting. I tasted a nibble and threw the rest out. Waste of money. I have a lot of experience with Thai food and would not recommend eating here. read more

Overall, satisfying and tasty. I had the yellow curry noodle soup, and the flavors of the curry were definitely reminiscent of tea rose. I didn't know Anny opened this restaurant until reading other reviews, though it makes sense now why the flavors were so similar. My friend ordered the rice/veggie/egg dish, and though I can't remember the name, it was also delicious. We both ordered the kombucha--which definitely tasted homemade--totally worth it. Service was decent and the place was clean. I can't vouch for the dinner menu, but for lunch the price and amount of food was fair. read more

This place is super over priced. Food is good but not great for the price. It is clean. Staff are friendly but not helpful when ordering when asked for recommendations. We both ordered soup, beef pho and Tom Kah. The Tom Kah was almost $20. While the components were fresh there were chunks of coconut shell that were tough and left sores in my mouth. The beef pho had a curry taste too it. It was not gross just different than traditional. read more

The food is great, and you can try things you haven't had before. The owner is so friendly and helpful. Love this place, try it for breakfast. read more

We went here last night because we have a Wasatch Savings card. They were pretty busy considering it was 8:00 PM on Labor Day. The service was very good and the Pho was excellent. Sitting on the patio is the way go, provides a very nice atmosphere. Will come back again. read more

I love this place!!!!!!! Everything is delicious, love their breakfast. They make the best latte!!! Deserts and cookies are amazing too. I just found out they are starting to serve sushi also! Can't wait. read more

This has become my favorite restaurant. My husband and I have eaten here several times. Each time we've had something different from the menu. We've tried items from the breakfast, lunch, and dinner menus. Every time it has been fantastic! The ingredients are so fresh and the flavors so vibrant. The taste differences in the dishes are so diverse, I could eat here everyday and not get tired of eating here. They are very accommodating to our vegan diet. They've gladly made everything we've ordered vegan for us. The servers are gracious, the service is quick, the restaurant is very clean, and the atmosphere is peaceful. A perfect place for any meal! read more

Dinner for two on a Wednesday night. First visit. Service was chaotic and slow due them being short handed. But the Curry Puff, Tom Kar and Shrimp Panang Curry were all excellent. We'll definitely give them another try. read more

The staff is always so nice and welcoming. The food never fails to impress! They offer thai and american brunch options both of which are incredible. They even offer kids plates that are unbreakable which meant our baby could feed herself and she loved it! They went out of thier way to make sure not only where my husband and I taken care of but so was our baby. read more

A Singapore breakfast, Asian hash (not that kind) Thai eggs .... Something different and delicious and very unexpected for SLC. You won't be disappointed! read more

We love the food and if you haven't tried Fav Bistro for breakfast than you're missing out! The patio is lovely and the wait staff is friendly and take good care of their patrons. read more

Best Tom Kraw soup, ever!!! Despite being the last table of the night to sit down, we were given the full-service treatment. We enjoyed both the food and the conversation with the owner and want her to know she has made repeat customers of us. Can't wait to come back! read more

Four of us dined at Fav last night and we're all fans now. The suggestions from our server (the owner?) were delicious and spot on. The service was perfect and dishes arrived in a timely manner. We ordered the red curry crab, shrimp and grits, and the coconut soup over rice. Coconut 'meats', milk and coconut juice all simmered with tasty veggies over rice. We loved the roast cauliflower appetizer too. Three entrees and an appetizer shared amongst 4 people and we still had lots of leftovers so the portion sizes are perfect for sharing. My mom brought me a salad a few days earlier with fried tofu and I'd never order that, but everything else and more, I'd love to try. They have a decent selection of wines at not outrageous prices. We'll be back... I think Mom's going to camp out in their parking lot for daily meals. :-) Thanks, Fav Bistro! read more
