Summary: 5.0 Food; 3.5 Service; 4 Ambiance…read more My wife and I enjoy the Thai food here about twice a year, usually with friends. The food and experience never disappoints, and we leave afterwards and say to each other, "That was good!" The food is always tasty and fresh, but on our most recent visit, the apps and entrées seemed fresher and the taste exceeded the Thai dishes we'd eaten over the past year elsewhere. Somehow, I always order the Spicy Basil, medium heat, and this time I ordered it with eggplant (for an up charge). The veggies were crunchy and the basil seemed freshly picked. The sauce was flavorful and the heat tilted toward the mild side, but additional spice options were brought to the table when I asked. My wife ordered the Sautéed Mixed Veggies, as usual, and complimented on the freshness of the veggies, the goodly amount, and the overall flavor. The summer rolls were a satisfying appetizer with a peanut vinaigrette that might have used hoisin sauce as one of the ingredients and its addition provided an overall different, but good, taste. The indoor seating is modest with maybe 10-12 booths and covered outdoor seating is also available. The tables seem to turn over fairly quickly. The exterior is also very modest, and you might drive by the restaurant without knowing it. Service is solid. Food is the star here. Thai-licious food at Thailicious!

I'm absolutely blown away by this hole in the wall. So tired of having sushi, so we opted to Thai…read morefood. After an hour of research - we chose this place due to its small, simple menu and reviews. In this small restaurant, only has about 10-12 tables. We sat in the booth and were served immediately by Myka. Happy hour beers for $2.50. I got the mild yellow curry with shrimp and fiance got the pad see ew with chicken. Shared the fried strawberries and green tea ice cream for dessert. Shrimp was fresh! I've been to Thailand before and this food was truly a moment of happiness taking the first sip of yellow curry. Generous in portion and the mild was the perfect spice - and we all know how spicy Thai-spicy can get. The joy on my face every bite. It's phenomenal. I've written over 580+ reviews and I've never used the word phenomenal. I'm blown away by their flavors. Always been a fan of Thai food and this place made me love it more. Thank you, Myka for being so friendly, patient as we decide our entrees and never letting our glasses be empty.

This restaurant checks ALL the boxes and just became my favorite Thai restaurant! Most importantly,…read morethe food tastes amazing and it's all presented beautifully. I really liked the low lighting atmosphere and the attention to detail like the little lamps and oragami shaped napkins on each table. They also had this awesome labubu dressed in Thai clothes. Service was great (shoutout to Jan for being so friendly) Food we ate: Praram Chicken Curry: 10000/10!! I've never had it until I came here but it's now my new favorite (even more than drunken noodle). It's sweet, creamy, and nutty and it's delicious with the chicken and rice. They also add a fried sweet potato which is really good. Level hot was really good mixed with the sweet Drunken noodle: This is my favorite Thai dish and they do it right!! Very very good. Tom Kha: Very yum. Usually I like it with a bit more coconut milk, this one was strong on the lemon grass but I still loved it. Golden puffs: crab Rangoon's can never go wrong and the plum sauce was tasty. Sushi - Dynamite: Not the best but not definitely not the worst. I think I would try the shrimp tempura instead of salmon next time.

Crispy duck curry and lychee snapper?? How wonderful. This menu easily made it into my top six this year. I didn't get a sense of the ambiance, because I got the whole meal takeout. I kind of didn't get a sense of the service, but I will warn all y'all to always scrutinize your bags before you leave the restaurant. They forgot one of my apps. I would have been so mad. Good catch, me. The food was incredible. Perfectly cooked coconut shrimps, crispy egg rolls with a ton of nice filling. The crispy duck was very tender and packed with well-cooked veggies, and the snapper was awesome. Just a touch of sweetness from that lychee. Very good with the white rice. Overall, a little good, a little bad, but it scored all the points needed in the part that matters, the food. I was very happy about this place's menu during MDM, and I hope other restaurants look at it in awe and show their same courage.

This place is amazing. Brandon took our order- he's part chef, along with his wife and his father…read morein law and his kids are back there helping as well (they're 18) so it's definitely family owned and operated. Brandon's wife's family is from Laos. The restaurant has been open about 6 years. Why did it take me so long to come here?? It was my dad's birthday. So we went to lunch and shared the papaya salad with Thai style dressing, the summer rolls with extra peanut sauce, and he had the pad Thai w shrimp and I had the pad see ew with chicken. Dad had a Diet Coke (can) and I had a Thai coffee with extra ice. Everything we ordered came packaged in to go boxes- so if you don't finish- it's ok! It's ready to take home. But since we were eating there, they gave us two plates and our choice of chopsticks/fork/spoon etc. The food is made to order but still came out fast. Two to go orders were processed while we perused the menu and another to go came in while we were eating. A table for three came in during that time as well. So this place is probably more take out than dine in. The iced coffee was as predicted - sweet. But not overly sweet. The extra ice toned it down a bit. The summer rolls were huge. He was right to suggest an extra sauce for $0.50 because my dad pretty much used the entire sauce ramekin for himself. The papaya salad was great. Lightly dressed. Lots of shredded papaya with a chunk of cabbage in it, some stewed? Tomatoes. They have the option for Laotian dressing but I am not familiar with that fermented fish sauce? So I went with the Thai style which is regular fish sauce. I probably should have been more adventurous. We got the salad mild so no spice. For my dish I went with level one spice which is mild medium. You could definitely feel the heat after you swallowed the bite. I can't imagine what level 6 spice is like! Pad see ew was delicious. Those chunky soaked noodles in brown sauce with lots of big veggies. I got the chicken. Next time I'll do double meat. I like more meat. Dad had the pad thai w shrimp medium spice. It was definitely more spicy than mine but tolerable. Again- I would get double shrimp, but that's my opinion. We did not get dessert. We thought about ordering the beef waterfall- that will be my next dish. And they had some new specials! So I will definitely be back. I love the Christian atmosphere- not overwhelming and honestly you could go in for take out and not notice it. They do a great job with the food and customer service. In fact, they gave us a discount because my dad is a veteran and he was wearing his hat which reflected his service, and the owner noticed it. He thanked my dad for his service :) the discount was not expected and was a surprise! Wow! I would recommend this place. Family owned and operated. Food is great portion and delicious, made to order. I will be back.

They package everything to-go whether you're dining in or not, which honestly makes it really easy to take your leftovers. I order the same thing almost every time because it's that good: the drunken noodles and the fried spring rolls. The food here is always incredibly fresh, and you can tell everything is being made to order. You will wait a bit if you order at the counter (because they are making everything fresh like I mentioned). If you're in a hurry, order online for pickup. If you like drunken noodles, you absolutely need to order them here. And if you've never tried drunken noodles before, this is a great place to start. You can choose your spice level with every dish, from no spice all the way up to super spicy, and their spicy is actually really spicy. I've also tried the massaman (yellow curry), which is really tasty, even at the lowest spice level it has a little kick to it. The wonton soup is good, the pad thai is good, and honestly I firmly believe that anything on the menu is probably going to be good. The portions here are HUGE - they are really generous with the amount of food you get. Service has always been super friendly as well. You order at the counter and grab your food when it's ready. Prices are really good for how much food you get, and the quality is consistently great. This spot is a constant go-to for me

There was no catering menu online, but walking to the owner, placing my order, I think the prices I was offered were more than fair. Everyone I dealt with was very friendly. As for the food, it was delicious. I have lots of veggie friendly staff, so this place was perfect. Vegetable spring rolls, no meat pad Thai, a chicken and a tofu yellow curry, which is a coconut, no-meat base. Everything was great. Very good flavor, a good crunch on the veggies in the pad Thai. And a metric ton of white rice, the best. Overall, I was very pleased with my initial experience at Pilin Thai, and I can't wait to stop in a eat there normally one day.

Siam O-Cha is genuine, delicious, expertly prepared Thai cuisine that's worth a drive to get. I've had just about everything on the menu, but let's hit some of the heroes. The dumplings are divine, both in texture and flavor. The chicken satay is really good, but even better is the peanut sauce and Thai pickles that are served with it. They've really taken a normal chicken-on-a-stick and elevated to something culinary. Finally, the green curry. I could eat this everyday. Sometimes, I do. Yesterday, I ordered it Thai hot, and lemme tell you, that's an adventure. Super delicious and alive with spicy energy, it's really more than just food. It's a journey in spice and flavors that are a cut above the rest. And the people are as friendly and helpful as they come. It's definitely just a take-out kind of place, so don't go with the expectation of dining in. But at least you can feel comfortable knowing that for the short time you're in the place, the people serving and cooking your food are top-class. And the food itself, excellent.

I didn't notice this on the menu, but to switch from the plain noodles to the fried rice made this meal come out to close to $17. The beef is very tasty but the fried rice isn't anything special. When mixed together with the chili sauce it really was yummy. The lettuce was undressed and took up a lot of space in my to go box. There was a liquid in the container that was placed in the box, of what I can only assume to be dressing but it had a really weird flavor to me. For the most part, this was kind of wasted. That said, even though the food was overall nice, I can't imagine paying $17 + tip for it again. If I had leftovers from this that would be another story, but unfortunately I was feeling pretty "munchy" about after eating just an hour later. I agree with the other reviewers that you just don't get enough of the real stuff for the price.
