Prices were reasonable and service was great. Bathrooms were very clean. Highly recommend!

The restaurant itself is located in a hip neighborhood with many other restaurants nearby, with minimal car traffic (Not sure where you park). The interior is not the largest, but it does offer a peace and tranquility with a fair amount of seating. The staff that greeted and served us during the meal was quite friendly and quick in terms of help and serving food. The menu itself is English friendly along with a few other languages, which is a plus! While I was not starving, I did not opt for any appetizers sadly, but they looked delicious. We ended up getting a large bowl of Tom Yum and Pad Thai. The restaurant was not too busy as it just had opened, but the food came out within 20 or so minutes, so I figured it would not be too bad (Quick food out of the kitchen worries me, not gonna lie). As mentioned initially, the flavors were unique, not what I was used to in regards to the Tom Yum, but that does not take away from the flavor at all as it was quite good. Serving size was quite large, enough to make me feel better about not ordering an appetizer. As for the Pad Thai, my travel partner mentioned it hit the spot and again they gave her a TON of it. Finally, price wise, do not expect to drop too much in terms of cash as it was very fair for the city and proximity to downtown. Well worth it if you are in need of some Thai goodness.

Not that I'm harsh but it wasn't quite Thai.. The herbaceous quality of the dish was there but it was lacking that Thai taste, especially when they don't even speak the language. The Larb was immensely bland with lacking that umami taste that fish sauce brings. The Chicken satay must have been marinated in salt and some other spices that it's overwhelmingly salty but no true flavour of the satay marinate. The Tom Ka Kai Soup lacks the sourness of lime. The lemongrass and kafir lime leaves were present but with out the lime, it's just another creamy soup. The chefs truly does not understand the importance of acid in Thai cooking especially in soups and the salad dishes like Larb. Then.. The Kai Krapow was just salty and bland. The presence of correct vegetables used but how can you appreciate the ingredients when the lack of flavours is a distraction. Honestly, I feel that the people of Brussels/the diners there deserve a better Thai experience and a better Thai restaurant. The prices are pretty steep for dishes that weren't even truly Thai and portions that leaves you bewildered. Truly confirms my theory of having Thai food in some cities. How can you cook Thai when you're not Thai? I get that you're running a business but don't call it "authentic" when it's only inspired to be Thai. If you follow me on Yelp, you know I rate how good a Thai restaurant is based on 3 dishes. Larb, Pad Kra Pow and Green Curry. Brussels have a few authentic Thai restaurants but tonight, I didn't find it. Yes, every city's culture influences and inspire some of the unique taste of Thai food. I have to say, of all the places that I've traveled, London, Sydney, Melbourne and Fairbanks, AK have the best Thai food outside of L.A. and Bangkok.

Oh, but Thai Talks? Thai Talks did me so right. I liked the look of this little spot right away. An older Thai lady, in a tiny kitchen facing the street; four tables at max squeezed in the rest of the small space. I got the green papaya salad, a curry and some noodles. The standout was, without a doubt, the bright and piquant green papaya salad. I would've kept shovelling the stuff in my mouth had the portion not run out. Both the curry and noodles were nice, and it was clear to me why so many locals popped in for takeaway whilst I sat eating my dinner. One dude from a shop across the street came to pick up his plated food and return awhile later to deposit his dirty dishes. The most I ever felt at home in Brussels was during the meal I had at Thai Talks. When you tire of the city's ubiquitous moules frites, meander over here for a taste of Thailand you won't soon forget.

Very minimal noodles, and the wrong type - definitely not wide-rice noodles, which was a total bummer. Still, worlds above many NoVA/DC Thai venues, and - according to Wikipedia - there is no standard noodle style for this dish. (I haven't been to Thailand yet.) Overall, I recommend, as the flavors were good.

Again I don't really eat in Thaï restaurants because I find that Thaï restaurant interior designs are usually tacky. But at Les Larmes du Tigre, the deco is alright.

The mango stick rice was really good. Although by dessert time, I was pretty full. They have Asian beer here! I saw a lot of food delivery people coming in and out.
