If you have read any of my reviews, you know that I am a Thai food fanatic and I'm going to share a restaurant with you that I have a great passion for. When I travel through Salt Lake I actually schedule my flight so I can eat at Sara Thai Kitchen. Ohhhh mama. The Tom Yum is to die for. Deep flavor and just enough heat to make me get a good wave of heat from the tip of my toes to the top of my lip. Yup. And the presentation is lovely - a small chaffing dish with a fire under it so it's always bubbling hot. Also, do not pass up the lollipop chicken. It's my favorite starter- I have them box two and I eat one. The crab fried rice is Bkue fin crab- real deal. I swear they sprinkle some magic on it. You cannot go wrong with anything on the menu- but be sure to finish off with mango sticky rice. It's the perfect ending to a perfect date. You can thank me later.

Overall it is a good place for a quick late night comfort food but don't expect too much.

The food is masterfully prepared by a couple and the place is super clean. The food is truly amazing. I had the pad Thai with chicken and it was perfectly cooked, the perfect proportion of noodles to chicken and veggies. Since we ordered take out, the peanuts came separately, so they didn't get soggy until I ate. My husband ordered the chicken Thai fried rice and it was also delicious! A lot of chicken and veggies and seasoning was great. The mango sticky rice was fabulous! Mango was super fresh and sweet and served with the right amount of coconut milk. Highly recommend this place! Will be back when in SLC again!

Unfortunately I was careless with my plate and all the delicious sauce dripped out into the plastic bag that held the plate of food by the time I got back to work to eat it. Today I went back and made sure I was more careful with my plate and decided to eat at the few tables set up outside their storefront. I ordered the Khao Soi again. It tastes like a coconut milk based curry. Something about this curry is different. I can't quite put my finger on it, but it's probably one of my favorite things to try if a Thai restaurant offers it. Slightly sweet and savory. The chicken thighs (2 thighs) were falling off the bone tender. On my last visit, I got beef and chicken. This time I got chicken only. It comes with green beans, rice, and a spring roll for a little over $12. Really great flavor. I killed my whole plate. The shop is very small. There is a small bar type table to dine in with 3 stools. Just the kitchen, a cooler with drinks, and a small standing area to order at. It's mostly an order to-go place. I'll definitely be back to try other dishes.

The appetizer was a combination plate, even the fried tofu was good. The sauces that came with it was a mild spice that I actually enjoyed. It also came with a cucumber and carrot salad that I rather liked. We ordered the Pad Thai rice noodles with chicken. It was an odd flavor for me but it was good. I asked for no heat to the spice level. We also got Crab fried rice. There were plenty of crab and large pieces of vegetables. I did like this better, again it wasn't hot spicy at all because we asked for them both like this since I don't do spicy that well. The dish was flavorful though. Over all this was a nice and enjoyable experience, we will definitely be going back.

The restaurant isn't esthetically pleasing and was just kinda randomly put together with different pictures and decor. The hours here are strange too which is annoying but it is what it is. Personally I go to restaurants for the food and not much the decor so let's get into the food! I ordered the lunch pad Thai with soup and got pork pot stickers as an appetizer. Everything is made fresh to order so you do have to wait a little to get your food. Lunch specials are around $10 each which is great deal! I loved everything I ordered, it was fresh flavorful and delicious! I'll definitely be coming here again!

So I went the next day again and somehow it was even better. I was back in town tonight and couldn't wait to go there for dinner. I got there at 7:35pm and after a few min wait the waitress told me she won't seat me as they switch to "Take out only" at 8pm. I pointed out I'm a party of one and there is almost 30 min until the take out only time, and that runs for another hour. But no dice. She told me I can order take out if I like. I didn't like. Extremely dissapointing as I was really looking forward to it, leaving town tomorrow and don't know when, if ever, work will bring me back to SLC. To finish on a positive note - the lunch crew, especially Peter, is absolutely amazing. Great service, fantastic attitude!

The restaurant is in a very nice area (however parking might be a bit hard to find), the inside was very clean with up to date interior. We were greeted by a young man at the counter who was extremely well mannered and courteous! Such a young gentleman! He took our order and answered any questions we had and was also very attentive during our meal. A lady (we assume is the owner and the mother of the fine young gentleman) came out and spoke with us for a little bit and we had a great conversation with her as well! Honestly the people here are so friendly, warm and inviting. I felt like we were talking to family. The food was so tasty and the owner even explained to us a little bit about the origin of the dishes! Highly recommend this family spot for Thai food! I am sure next time we're in Salt Lake City again we will be back!

The shrimp spring rolls were HUGE, very fresh and excellent. Pad Thai was fresh and tasted so delicious. Took home half because the spring rolls were huge and so filling. The mixed veggie stir fry with a side of another salad instead of rice he said was terrific. If you have not been here you are missing a great meal, all for under $30!! Where can you find an excellent meal for that price and sit down with calm music to listen to..

I found the food at "Thai In Town" in Bountiful to be mediocre at best. In regards to "authentic…read moreThai", this place just definitely isn't it. I tried their Garlic and Pepper Stir-Fry (with steak), cream cheese wonton appetizer (comes with 6 total), and their Thai Iced Coffee. The Garlic and Pepper Stir-Fry comes with a fried egg which sadly was the whole highlight of the entree (the fried egg was cooked perfectly and absolutely delicious). Sadly, the dinner entree was more of a lunch entree in regards to portion size, and came across more like beef stew down to the thick dressing. Though I requested the spiciest authentic Thai heat level, it definitely didn't have much spice other than a bunch of ground pepper strewn about. You do get your choice of either Jasmine White Rice or Brown Rice with the entree. I went with brown, and that was a huge mistake. Completely bland. Tasted like cardboard. No flavor, no aroma, no nothing! It was gross to say the least and got tossed immediately after one bite. The Cream Cheese Wonton appetizer was actually pretty good and well stuffed; though the included "Chili Sauce" appeared to be nothing more than oil, vinegar (definitely had a strong aroma of it), and a few chili flakes. Fortunately the wontons were flavorful enough and didn't really need much dressing. The Thai Iced Coffee was the smallest that I've ever received. Put it next to a 12 oz can, and as you can see in the photo, definitely much smaller than a 12 oz regular canned beverage. I also had requested "low/minimal" ice and it had a cupful of it. Overall was not super impressed with this restaurant but it also wasn't exactly the worst that I've ever tried or had. Would I try them again? Probably. Just not any time soon.
