    thai green tea latte
    Samuel H.

    Standout: Service was excellent during our visit with very attentive workers. I really appreciate the diversity of their menu, as they have highlight dishes from different Asian cultures. My basil fried rice was tasty. Do note that I expected it to be saltier/more flavorful. You can ask them for hot sauce and chili sauce though. Chicken wings were crispy and has fish sauce on the side for dipping. Thai green tea latte was creamy and so good. Chill, cozy vibes inside with "World Market-esque" trinkets. There are also festive decorations everywhere when we visited in December :D

    Just bought this entree salt and pepper squid for $16 dollars . Extremely overpriced for the portion they give you. Plus half of food is onion. Idk how this could ever be considered an entree

    The food, when you get it is wonderful! The service however is lacking! I was dining in for the third time because the last were wonderful and the staff on those days professional and nice. I was seated by the waitress, a young girl in a baseball cap that had her phone on. Total ambience gone. I placed my order of the Panang stew and waited. And waited, while watching my favorite new restaurant became busy with uber eats, and other wonderful drivers waiting. I asked the baseball waitress if my dinner was coming out and I was informed that takeout is a priority for this restaurant. I ordered a white wine and an additional lettuce wrap dish to go. 15 minutes later, three parties sent away in the waiting area. Four delivery people sitting at the entrance, no room for patrons. Great food, less than acceptable service that night. If you see servers that treat you less than, leave!

    This place is legit! Can always count to delicious food with a great plating presentation. And it's in a great location that exudes class.

    Calamari with sweet chili sauce and Rockfish salad wraps (special, not on regular menu).
    Brian H.

    Great servers, high quality food, good portion sizes and all day happy hour on Sundays! Enjoyed dinner with a friend on Sunday. High quality calamari starter with nice batter and not overdone squid like some places. Chicken teriyaki was tender and good sized portion. Rockfish lettuce wraps had plenty of tasty fish portions over a nice bed of peanuts and diced veggies. Drinks were tasty and didn't skip on alcohol portion. Dinners were served only moments apart (unlike some places) and about our only suggestion would be better temperature control in dining area it was a bit cold. Pleasant decor for a neighborhood restaurant and nice touches like a blue fish shaped plate for the seafood dinner, and an excellent first time visit and will be back again!

    Green Curry in a cheerful little pot
    Penny S.

    We tried this little bistro for the first time and were impressed with the simple but elegant ambiance as soon as we walked in. The staff came across as warm and friendly and glad we were there. We enjoyed Tom Kha soup with tofu to start, which had a delicious depth of flavor. Next came the entrees: Green Curry with beef and Pad Lee Mao with Chicken. The latter was recommended by our server, who patiently waited as my husband scanned the menu and finally asked for her suggestion. Green curry is one of my favorite Thai curries, but I wasn't that impressed with this one, which is why I can't award 5 stars to an otherwise flavorful meal. Their green curry's sauce lacked flavor and salt. I had to ask for a salt shaker (I could've gotten soy sauce but didn't want it to overpower). The beef seemed to be just thrown in the pot and boiled, rather than sautéed first to achieve a nice sear. It was gray in color. The Pad Lee Mao, on the on the other hand was full of flavor and fresh veggies. I particularly liked the green beans, cooked to perfection. The noodles were wide, which I liked as well. We will come back again to order more things but I think we will avoid the curries. It's a pan-Asian place so maybe they just aren't as good at curry? Try this place for yourself at this Felida eatery.

    Tom Kha soup was incredible. I plan to enjoy more of their food if this soup is indicative of what they can do.

    Some of the best tasting Thai food I've had! Staff is attentive, nice, and welcoming…read more The restaurant is large and usually pretty empty, so service is quick. They have a small patio so outdoor seating can be had! Music playing throughout is a nice vibe! Literally everything we got was on point!

    I arrived at the Thai House for the first time around noon on Tuesday The restaurant was nearly…read moreempty which I immediately thought was not a good indication of what was to come. I approached a staff member as I entered and informed her that I would like to dine in. She didn't say anything as she led me to a table and handed me a menu. A few minutes later a gentleman approached with ice water and asked if I was ready to order. I ordered the Vegetable Pad Thai with medium spice. He returned about 10 minutes later with the dish. The Pad Thai consisted of 90% noodles and bean sprouts. I expected that since I ordered a Vegetable Pad Thai that there would be a variety of vegetables however there were only a few small pieces of broccoli and green cabbage. The noodles were overcooked which led to a mushy,gummy texture. I flagged down my server. He never introduced himself so I didn't catch his name. I explained to him and showed him that there were very little vegetables in the Pad Thai. He asked me if I would like the dish remade. I said that I would just like some more vegetables. He said that he would ask the cook. About 5 minutes later he returned with a soup cup full of steamed broccoli, carrots and green cabbage which I proceeded to add to the Pad Thai dish. I really expected a greater variety of vegetables with an $18 vegetarian dish. Overall my first experience was regrettable and will choose to go elsewhere for Pad Thai.
