The Pad Thai had no flavor and the Khao Soi tasted like it was from a can. Very disappointed experience and too pricey.

This was a delicious discovery yesterday, Thai fusion that really landed and delivered a great dinner for our first yellow-phase date night! We arrived at the restaurant, that provided limited and spaced-out dine-in, which was only one of a number of COVID-19 precautions we observed. We are grateful for those precautions, and the opportunity to dine-in and feel a little reminder of life prior to the pandemic. The food was brought to us, picnic-style, prepared for takeaway, but we plated up our chicken lettuce wraps, spring rolls, wontons, and dumplings and enjoyed the most chill dinner we recall this year. We loved our experience here and appreciate the opportunity to try a new restaurant and support local businesses. We look forward to future evenings at Fav Bistro! Thank you. read more

The food is fabulous! It's one of my favorites for Thai. The garlic green beans are to die for. The owner is very attentive.

Fav Bistro is a wonderful place to dine. The flavour in their dishes is unmatched in my experience around this area. It is my favourite place to eat and nervous times I have gone up for take out as I want to relax at home with a good meal. Great job in creating such wonderful dishes. read more

Our first time ordering, the food was terribly disappointing. I had Chix Pad Thai. The noodles were gummy, no flavor & overcooked or maybe had been sitting all day. The chicken was thin and tasteless. The Vegetable Fried Rice was mushy and greasy and it seemed like it too had been cooked this morning!! My husband also ordered the grilled steak. He said his was just ok. Bummer! Won't order from here again. read more

Great Local Thai Food! You can order pickup a d they will deliver to your car! (During this Covid-19 time) I love the curry and they serve Boba tapioca ball sweet tea! My only complaint is sometimes the noodles are overcooked and the food is slightly under seasoned. read more

We had brunch at Fav Bistro and absolutely loved it! Located in Holladay, the restaurant is beautiful inside. The service is attentive and they make you feel so welcome. We were even lucky enough to meet the owners, Anny and Jeff! Hearing their philosophies on second chances, supporting growth of local businesses (competition is good!!) and promoting healthy living from their purified water on up to encouraging fermented foods and kombucha gave us huge amounts of respect for them. Not knowing what to expect at brunch at a Thai restaurant I was initially relieved to see the menu features American style entree's as well as many Asian influenced selections. Fortunately for us we were encouraged to try some of the Asian breakfasts and they were AMAZING! We started with their Thai Omelet. It is so so yummy, the batter is made from egg and coconut milk. It was filled with chicken and served with raw veggies on the side for that added crunch. There is THE MOST delicious sauce to pour over the top as well. We also shared the Joke, which is rice porridge and a hugely popular breakfast food in Asia. Not only was it so delicious and flavorful, it was also somehow comforting, if that makes sense. I can see why it's such a loved morning tradition. It has chicken, egg, ginger, green onion, carrot and cilantro. From the American side of the menu we shared the very unique Breakfast Salad. I never would have thought of having a salad for breakfast but it works! It has a mixed greens base topped with carrots, hash browns, bacon, tomato, poached egg and drizzled with a delicious dressing. The Gypsy Toast was not only beautiful but SO DELICIOUS! It's stuffed with mascarpone cream cheese and topped with yummy berries. The Thai Fried Egg was a surprise hit - underneath the egg we found a huge pile of rice and veggies!! We're talking broccoli, zucchini, carrots, mushrooms and red onions - a ton of them!! My new favorite thing ever is the Kow Gunn Mai and Ginger Sauce - chicken and the best garlic rice ever with an amazing sauce for the top. Holy. Yum. We can't wait to get back to try more deliciousness!! (I have my eyes on the Thai Coconut Pancakes with Chai butter ). Thank you to owners Anny and Jeff for sharing your incredible food and your life philosophies with us. Brunch at Fav Bistro is amazing. read more

This place is adorable and every thing our whole table got was amazing. Pad Thai, Tofu Curry, Spring rolls. The service was wonderful as well. Will definitely be coming here again! read more

Super great massaman curry some of the best I've ever had! Wish the veggie included tofu instead of having to additionally add it, this was a bit overpriced in my mind but overall definitely worth it! read more

Wonderful food and service! It is a wonderful setting as well. Have been multiple times and will be back.

Visiting our daughter in the area she suggested this restaurant for lunch . I'm no expert on Thai dishes but we all enjoyed our selections and the service was great considering we arrived right after they opened . Enjoyed the feel of the inside of the restaurant and the food was authentic and delicious. I had the Pad Thai but I had no use for the egg blanket over it but the flavors were my reward . My wife had a stir fry option and my daughter a yellow curry selection . They have many choices on the menu so go and enjoy... read more

Terrible service! I went for lunch. The food was delivered and no one ever returned to my table until I had to repeatedly try to wave down a server ( any server!) for a take home container. Food is decent, served hot, but the service was so bad that I will not return. They were not very busy (4 tables, 2 servers). read more

I love this place. I've lived just up the street for over a year and I'm so disappointed in myself that I've just barely discovered this gem! I believe that a Thai restaurant can be fairly judged on the quality of their yellow curry. A simple dish, but when it is done right it's a party for the taste buds! The yellow curry is to die for, and I hate to admit that I even ordered it for take out back to back days. I ate it on a Tuesday and loved it SO much I couldn't stop thinking about it. So I got more for dinner Wednesday! Great portion sizes, plenty to share with two people (or just one if you're a curry fiend like me!) Owner and chef Annie is awesome. I see her in the restaurant working almost every time I go in, and as a chef and fellow business owner, I appreciate and value that! read more

Fav Bistro - Yellow curry (DROOL) - Desserts Near Me - Holladay, Utah

Food was delicious and service was quick and attentive. Everyone in the party enjoyed what they ordered

The food is amazing! Full of flavor and comes out nice and hot. The service is hit or miss but never horrible. I love how it's covered with plants, feels nice and calm. It has vegan, vegetarian, and meat options. Nice to have options for everyone. read more

Went on a busy Saturday night without reservations. Took about 15 minutes to get a table but it was well worth it. Ordered Pineapple curry, pad thai, and cashew stir fry. Everything was delicious. Nice size portions so we can have some leftovers at lunch today. Friendly, nice homemade touches like sauces, cookies, and teas that you can take home with you if you check out at the counter. I'll probably stop in to try their boba teas and cookies at lunch time one day soon. Definitely will be back! read more

We love Thai food, what we got tonight was pretty much inedible. Pad Thai with chicken, chicken was so dry even my dog wouldn't eat it. The noodles were overcooked and a stuck together heap. Chicken panang ordered one step above mild was so spicy my husband couldn't take more than a few bites, he normally orders spicy but this was over the top. We ordered takeout otherwise would have sent it all back. Would not recommend. Giving one star for ease of ordering. read more

Unassuming quiet and quaint. Some of the best curry I've ever had. The beef salad is bright and succulent. Friendly and fast service. Easy parking. Have ordered delivery and quality is still the same. read more

If you are looking for a fun, unique brunch experience, look no further. Arrived on a whim as per my usual and was pleasantly surprised. I ordered the Thai fried egg brunch which was different and pretty delicious. They had a delicious semi-spicy sauce on the side (which I honestly could have used more of) which made the entire meal go from meh, to great. The fried egg had vegetables scrambled inside and sat on top of a bed of rice. I never thought of rice as a brunch food, but somehow it seemed to work. The seating and arrangement inside was comfortable, and service was friendly, but a bit slow considering not many customers were there. Overall, I will return and try this out again, and probably order a different item off the menu. read more

Fav Bistro - Thai fried egg. Definitely could have used more sauce, but very unique and delicious. - Desserts Near Me - Holladay, Utah

The atmosphere was excellent and service was great but the food is not Thai. The pad Thai was okay but the portions were too small for price. The Tom yom tastes too sour. If you want slightly Americanized Thai food and overpriced small portions, go for it. It's certainly a nice enough place to eat lunch, but I'm very disappointed that the dishes did not meet the beautiful ambiance. read more

VERY good Thai food for a reasonable price, and very good service. We dined at the restaurant one night, and then ordered takeout on another night, during our recent week-long ski trip. Very extensive menu with a lot of vegan and vegetarian options - - will definitely return on our next visit to the area! read more

A family favorite, it's a very well known restaurant in Holladay within the Salt Lake Vally it's 3.4 miles if you live in Millcreek area and we highly recommend that you try it! Try their red curry and unique pad Thai it's blanketed with egg over the top locking in amazing flavor! (It's not too sweet like other Thai restaurants prepare it dripping in sweet sauce, I don't like that version) Any dish can be made with Tofu, it is perfectly cooked and delicious! I love the tender chicken they give generous amount in each of their meals, we enjoy their fresh rice paper spring rolls they can be made with either avocado or shrimp! Ordering and pickup are very quick! read more

Traditional American breakfast with added Veggies Eat one... get one for a friend you can't go wrong with the Stack breakfast. I add veggies and some house hot sauce . Delicious. Keeps me coming back Breakfast served daily so be sure to give it a try read more

Fav bistro was absolutely delicious! Loved the service and how quickly our food was brought out. Thanks for the great recommendations, I can't wait to go back. Update: Came in for a quick lunch, big mistake. 15 minutes for a table another 10 for a server to greet us. The server wasn't pleasant to speak to. She seemed a little pre occupied and when I asked if she was alright, she said, it's just hot in here. It's quite humid inside. Sad that my experience has changed. If you have time, come on in, the food is always delicious. Most worth the wait, but not when you're in a hurry! read more

My friend and I were in the area to catch a movie and came across this place. It's now our favorite Thai restaurant! The service is fast and friendly, the food is fantastic, and is an overall cute restaurant. I will be taking my family and more friends here for sure. Also, I forgot to take a photo of our meals because we devoured them so quickly, lol. read more

This is a local favorite and frequented at least once a week. Love the food! Try them for breakfast too. A bit short staffed which affects their service. read more

Sadly overpriced and bland, flavorless food. We came for breakfast, myself and my boyfriend after church, and had their hash entrees. I had the garden hash which has half cooked veggies and cabbage, with soggy potato shavings. Or waitress came over four times correcting our order and stated my hash did in fact not come with eggs after previously coming back to our table asking how I would like my single egg cooked. She said they charged a dollar for each egg so I asked for one. Once the food came out I had three eggs on my plate which they charged an extra $9 for. That's $3 for each egg that I did not ask for. Service was poor and the food was even more disappointing. I do not recommend this place, at least for breakfast or lunch. read more

Very good Thai infused food. The wait staff is very helpful for ordering. The hot wings appetizer is definitely worth ordering. Kombucha bar is great. read more

Love this place. We've been regulars for years. As well as her Sandy place called Chabars. My favorites include Drunken noodle, coconut soup and Kow Soy (wrong spelling). And she has some twists on American food and brunch that are so tasty. read more

Hands down best thai restaurant in town. Run by kind ,hardworking and very successful couple. They have very creative yet traditional dishes. Must try place read more

Name a Thai place in Utah that is better than Fav Bistro... you can't. They have perfected the Pad Thai. The curries are amazing too. The thing to top it all off are the mini orange flavored cookies they include with each order. read more

Nice atmosphere. Seated right away. Have good curried. Pineapple Chicken Fried rice is the best!

Quirky is probably an apt way to describe FAV Bistro. That can be both a good and a bad thing, depending on how you look at it. FAV Bistro is located in the newer building that used to house Cafe Normandie on Murray-Holladay Road. Owned by Annie Sooksri, who also runs Chabaar Beyond Thai, the Tea Rose Diner and the Siam Noodle Bar, FAV Bistro seems to be a sort of mishmash of American/Thai/pan-Asian dishes. While it can be charming to have an eclectic menu, restaurants that don't have a solid sense of gastronomic identity often manifest this with inferior food. I was very pleasantly surprised by the excellent execution of several dishes I ordered. The Hainan chicken and rice was surprisingly tender and delicious, as was the rice soup (jook). Service is a mess. There is poor coordination between the servers and most of the staff is inexperienced and somewhat clumsy in their customer service. My food was excruciatingly slow to arrive, then came all at once, without explanation or apology. There is a sizeable private parking lot behind the restaurant. Prices are reasonable for the quality and quantity of food. While I would advise against bringing a large party to dine at FAV Bistro, it merits a visit, if you have the patience to wait for your food. read more

Terrible lunchtime service! After a 45 minute wait we received water. We finally left since the waitress was still unable to take our order and the kitchen was running 30 min behind. Excellent food but avoid during peak hours. read more

UPDATE: The owner reached out to me with a very thoughtful gesture and apologized for the lunch service. She was so great! I really appreciated her accepting the feedback and offering to pay for my lunch. Great response time. I'm definitely open to trying FAV again. Went for lunch. Took a seat at a bar table until the server could help. Waited 15 min to get a menu which was a bit confusing. Finally ordered, and paid $17.00 for a salad with added tofu. Unbelievable. I wish they had more help. Friendly service if you can get it. read more

Fav Bistro - This was $17.00 - Desserts Near Me - Holladay, Utah

This review is based solely on dessert. LIKES: A group of us came here after having dinner at another restaurant. They have a unique selection of desserts, some of which look pretty amazing. I enjoyed the passion fruit sugar cookie. It had a nice texture and the icing tasted great. Our favorite thing was the cinnamon roll. Nuke it for 45 seconds and it is delectable! The woman at the counter was very friendly as was our waitress who saw what I ordered and complimented me on it. We then had a great conversation about Thailand. DISLIKES: The passion fruit sugar cookie just tasted like a standard sugar cookie. I would've loved more passion fruit flavor, especially if it was slightly tart. The tapioca had a very faint coconut taste to it but was otherwise flavorless. read more

Fav Bistro - Tapioca. Very little flavor. - Desserts Near Me - Holladay, Utah

Nice atmosphere, I've tried the green curry here before and loved it. Got a sampling of the coconut soup and it was very good. Pumpkin curry puffs are delicious. Maybe a bit pricey, but--at least with the curry--you get a lot of food! read more

I've had many of the items on the menu and have never been disappointed! I love the pineapple fried rice, pad see-ew and the pumpkin curry just to name a few. It is a MUST try if you are anywhere near here! read more
