This is supposedly the best Thai restaurant in Connecticut. Delicious!…read more Crab Fried Rice: The rice grains were separate and refreshing, but lacked wok hei 鑊氣, resembling crab meat and scrambled eggs mixed with rice. The sauce was similar to Thai seafood sauce, but thicker, with a very strong garlic kick. Mixing it into the rice added a clever touch, cutting through the richness without making it soggy. Long Island Duck Pineapple Curry: Recommended by the owner. My first time trying a sweet and sour curry; the refreshing pineapple balanced well with the rich curry. The duck was just okay, mainly because it was too dry. Mango Sticky Rice: A pleasant surprise; my parents also loved it. The coconut milk had a strong sea salt and caramel flavor, likely due to the addition of coconut sugar or palm sugar. Steamed Vegetables: Just steamed vegetables, without any seasoning. A sprinkle of salt would have made it tastier.

Thankfully, we had reservations, so it was not much of a wait. Unfortunately, due to a busy weekend, our seating options were limited and not ideal, even for only 2 of us. Also, because of how busy the restaurant was, service was a little slower than I would have liked for them to take our order and for the food to come out. The good is that we enjoyed some good drinks and settled in, focusing on the restaurant's good energy and vibe. We shared the Flank steak special, pork wraps, and pad see-ew with flank steak, all of which were so good and a little too much for the two of us. Pricing for everything was reasonable given the type of restaurant and the Yale clientele who come to this place. This restaurant is a RESY location, and it did not disappoint. We will definitely return.

It's small but the food is excellent. They know what they're doing in the kitchen. Food 9/10 Service 9/10

Shhh, don't tell anyone!…read more But also tell everyone you know! Let it Be is a chic, cozy little hole in the wall spot on Dixwell which although you can easily miss, you won't want to because it's a legend of a Thai restaurant. AMBIANCE - 8/10 When you walk inside, you're greeted by a familiar friendly smile (? one of the owners) before being seated amongst brightly colorful interior decor. They play relaxing Thai classics and sometimes switch it up with familiar and vibey pop songs. It's a small space, but is never overcrowded, and there's conveniently plenty of parking in the back. FOOD - 9/10 The food here is incredible. I've tried multiple Thai places in and around the New Haven/Hamden area and Let it Be has got them all beat. Not only are the flavors authentic and high quality, but prices are fair and the dishes are well-portioned. Best of all, they're made with so much heart. Every bite has felt like a journey back home to South East Asia. SERVICE - 9/10 The service here has been phenomenal. Our friendly server is welcoming, prompt, and responsive to our needs. When a dish we asked for wasn't available, he took the time to find similar dishes for us. He also takes the time to make friendly conversation and share with us the history of some of the special dishes. Visits here always just feel like a pitstop at a friendly neighbor's. The only thing is that it can take a bit of time for the food to come out, which is natural as the dishes are likely made to order. OVERALL - 9/10 From the Thai staples (pad thai, red and green curries) to the more avant garde (larb kai but in a bánh mì / hoagie style sandwich?! woah!), this place does it all the right way. If you couldn't tell by now, this is my absolute favorite Thai place and I could not recommend it enough. Ally's Recs: Pad Thai (8/10) - cannot go wrong with a classic Pad See Ewe (9/10) - another classic! tastes great with a squeeze of lime Let it Be Thai Curry (9/10) - delicious house curry; they combo the curries well to create a creamy sweet and savory mixture that always leaves you wanting more Thai Tea (8/10) - if you're down for a treat, the condensed milk hits every time! Longan Juice / Tea (7/10) - refreshing and comes with a bunch of juicy longans on top. such a unique offering!

Hopefully they're doing a big takeout business because we were the only ones inside for dinner. Granted it was 8:30pm, but they are open until midnight. They were accommodating by turning the heat up on this chilly night. They also put on current Thai music for us after we asked about the American music being played. They offered my wife a syrupy lychee drink on the house to take care of the extra heat that she wasn't expecting. They put a bit of a different spin on their version of some popular dishes so don't be mad if it's not what you get at other Thai restaurants. Check out our pics. It was all excellent!

After basically being baited to disappointment in my attempt to find something from Pho Thai, I…read morelooked around to see what was open I could get that wasn't pizza-related. I need a short break from pizza if I'm being honest. So when I came up on this Thai place, I read the sign to make sure I could go in. Thankfully, it had said last call would be 10 minutes before close, and it still wasn't quite at that moment in time yet, so I went in. Even though they were cleaning, this time the employee who greeted me let me come in to have something to eat. Success! And just looking at the atmosphere of the restaurant, it is certainly more on the intimate and maybe romantic side. It is elegant and classy, but not something that would require me to dress to the nines. I was directed to a booth spot looking right at the window. Honestly, after a trip to Long Island going into Suffolk County, I needed something like this before commuting the final stretch back home on the 229. It was something different, and not far in cuisine from where I had originally attempted to go anyway, I promised I would be quick to order and not go for something that would take them too long. Immediately the shrimp tempura was calling my name, partially to continue the trend tonight of picking something different from what I might have gotten usually that I still really liked as a food. I got that, the yellow curry (I chose chicken for the protein), and a Shirley Temple. You can select how spicy you would like your curry to be. I told my waiter I'd like for tonight's dish to be on the medium side. Spiciness is leveled from 1 to 5, with 5 being the spiciest. He recommended Level 2 which he said was the medium level, and I concurred and went with that. Service was quick, and the pricing of the food was actually pretty reasonable for what I got. The bowl of curry was massive, and the shrimp tempura had excellent presentation. It also came with a plum sauce, which I have already learned is a sweet yet savory and delicious dipping sauce for fried appetizers in Thai cuisine. For $4, the glass of Shirley Temple I got was really good, and it was worth those 4 dollars. I had three cherries on the top of mine. The curry was flavorful, and the spice was the right level for this particular dish. The vegetables in the dish had a good crunch to them, and the potatoes were piping hot. The chicken was cut into thin slices, but that's fine by moi. As long as it tasted good and brought out the best in the dish, and it did. I had to take a to-go container for half of my curry because I knew I couldn't finish it tonight. The rice was maybe my only thing I would improve. It was a little stuck together for my liking. I tipped generously for this one. I felt it was only right to do since I was allowed in as the last customer of the night. So for a $28.88 bill, I made my total paid an even $40. Thank you guys for letting me eat here! It was delicious, and the service and atmosphere are great too! :)
