Food was delivered hot and fresh. Crispy rolls were very crispy and yummy. The standout dish was Tom Kha soup. Perfect balance of sweet, salty, spicy, and sour. The herbs take it up a notch. Their Pad Thai was good but have had better. We added prawns for an extra $3.00. Received 5 prawns. I also had the best brown Jasmine rice I've ever had. I think it protected my sensitive stomach from the spice!

Fresh rolls and curry puffs

Hubby took me today for a Valentine late lunch. Wow. I really have no negatives about our experience. Place was clean and beautifully decorated. Service was friendly, helpful and efficient. Menu carries appetizers, fried rice, dishes, noodles, curry, and desserts with beverages. Food arrived hot and everything was fresh and was well presented. We had red and yellow curry with side rice and some fresh rolls and curry puffs. Sauces were very good! Bathrooms are clean and well maintained. Dishes can run 20+ dollars. I highly recommend giving this place a try.

I was still hungry after I was done eating

Todd tasted good but the quantity of food didn't even fill me up I had to ask if this was the lunch size I ordered prawns but they were just shrimp 28.00 with jasmine rice even the rice bowl is small 12.00 for spring rolls and it was tofu not shrimp I will never come back and you should never eat here

Lanna Thai is always super good! I live super close and love to grab food from here. I dined in with a girlfriend who hasn't been before we love the ambience. Looks like they got new dishes as well! I did notice the portion sizes decreased significantly over the past 2-3 years. I understand the economy isn't particularly great... but ouch! Taste is still good as ever. Love our service too! I tried their roti for the first time yesterday and loved it. Will definitely get that again! Eggplant with prawns: super good! I love this dish as well as their yellow curry and pad Thai. Lots of flavor and fresh ingredients

Good food meets good price and decent place. First time to be around this area and decided to try this restaurant. Pad Thai is always my go to Thai plate and it was good, pretty much enjoyed it. They also served a small bowl of sour soup which is pretty tasty! If it weren't a hot day I would have wanted more. Also tried the spring rolls and always a good side item. The Thai Iced Tea with Boba is refreshing and the boba is soft. They have limited number of staff, so getting your order may take a bit when there are more people, but the kitchen is fast and the food was served fast, too. If ever I'm back in the area, would definitely eat here again.

mango sticky rice

Came Sunday for lunch with my family! The place was empty except for another group that came later. I ordered the yellow curry with pork and a thai tea. I forgot to get a picture of the curry but it was filling and flavorful, as well as the tom kha soup! The thai tea was also a good sweetness and size for $6. My family and I tried all the desserts too and were happy that the mango sticky rice was in season! It was great. We also had the fried banana with ice cream which was really cripsy and the tartufo chocolate which was creamy with gelato. I think there may have been only one waitress but she was super nice, helpful, and attentive. Something I just like as well is that the menu has pictures of all the food LOL, and as an fyi parties 5 or larger have an automatic tip added to the bill.

The service was good. The food was OK, good but not amazing. If you like to eat a lot of rice, order a rice dish.

I asked while pointing to my Pixel Wings, "Are these wings double-fried?"…read more My waiter gave an emphatic, "Yes!" The Pixel Wings were deeply golden, with crunchy ridges that were audibly crisp. The chicken wings were adorably small, but every wing was crunch-worthy, with tender, juicy meat inside. Paired with the bright, chili-flecked house sauce, this small plate left a big impression! This was the second time my husband and I visited Must Be Thai. The other times we attempted to come here, the restaurant was packed, and we had to go somewhere else. This time, we found a nice window of opportunity for a Monday lunch. I enjoy this restaurant because it has a unique way of organizing its menu, emphasizing the regions of Thailand from which the dishes originate. It encouraged my husband and me to explore something new on the menu, as though we were traveling to that region ourselves. Besides the Pixel Wings, we traveled to Southeast Thailand to try The Ex Rockfish. The presentation was wonderfully dramatic. The whole rockfish arrived opened and deep-fried, curving around the bowl while a colorful tumble of buttery pieces of fish and peppers filled the center. A zesty green dipping sauce was also provided to cut through the richness of the dish. Pair that with a bowl of jasmine rice and some Thai iced tea and *chef's kiss*. This was a dish we had never tried before, and I'm glad our waitress recommended it! Another thing I enjoy about this restaurant is the youthful cheekiness of its ambiance. The dining room has a playful, urban-industrial aesthetic softened by warm wood and light colors. It feels both relaxing and energetic. The mural boasts a chaotic depiction of what appears to be a tuk-tuk and Godzilla fighting off some durian. The menu has a similar vibe. Despite all this playfulness, they don't mess around when it comes to food quality. Friendly service, great food, and a fun ambiance - we'll be coming back for more!

The good -service was excellent even with a smile. Parking is easy too…read moreThe bad- food is lacking in almost every way. Fresh spring rolls with shrimp we're served instantly which is always a sign they've been prepared and sitting in the fridge therefore clear wrap is hard and not soft as it should be. Patay with chicken okay but lacked in flavor. Tom yum fried rice extremely salty. In fact I couldn't eat it. The shrimp and calamari in it were okay and not salty like the rice. I ate here 2 years ago and wasn't impressed then, but my friend wanted to go here so I thought I'd give it another try. Never again. I will stick to the Thai restaurants I know.

Very small informal but well appointed space. We stopped in for a quick dinner before a show at…read morethe SAP center. It is the kind of place that you line up to order and are given a number to take to your choice of open tables. There were several people in front of us and it did take longer than we thought it would. But the delay was because people were all chatting and asking questions of the staff. Not in anyway delayed because of the staff. They are very friendly and attend to each customer fully in their turn. The taps are VERY unique and they will offer you a taste of their special brews. My wife got a sour and enjoyed it. I played it safer and got a ca of cider, which was delicous. For food we share a salad and and veggie burger. Both were good. The food takes a few minutes. So don't expect fast-food. This is a slow food place that makes ever item to order and tastes like it. Everything we had was very good. Note - This is a vegetarian restaurant that offer vegan options too. So, you need to know that going in. If you're in the area I recommend this place.

Such a "not so hidden" gem…read more Very generous portions. Flavors overall are solid and very hearty. Appreciated that they have 5oz beer pours to make your own flight. Blue corn polenta (5/5): This was the MVP of the meal. Amazing hearty and umami flavors perfect for autumn. Highly recommend. Half funky nachos: Half portion was huge! Flavors were fine. Mac and Cheeze: Solid and portion was enough for an entree Pretzel with beet beer mustard: Solid Service is friendly. Would recommend for those in the area!
