    Sweet Rice with Mango
    John C.

    Food still awesome as usual. One thing they took off the menu was sweet sticky rice Thai custard. Their Khaw Soi makes up for it as the taste is amazing!

    We went on a lunch date on a Saturday to this little Thai place. The food was very delicious. We got the curry puffs, massaman chicken curry, and penang curry. It was my first time having the curry puffs but I totally think they're a food I'll find in heaven - it was that yummy. The massaman chicken was a generous portion (got the dinner portion even though it was lunch time) and I had some left over for the next day. The penang curry was very spicy even though we didn't ask to raise the spice level, so just be aware of that. I think the massaman was a spice level 1 and the penang a spice level 2 but the actual spiciness was quite dramatic. The restaurant has an open seating vibe so don't go here if you're looking for a private eating area. There was a table on the far end of the restaurant who had a guest with a loud voice and it was distracting. That's not necessarily the restaurant's fault (or the speaker's), just something to take note of. Our server wore a mask and stood about 6 feet back from our table whenever he spoke to us. He swooped in and cleared the table and refilled our waters as needed. Otherwise, it was nice to 1) not have constant interruptions and 2) feel a little safer during these weird COVID times. As my photo notes, this location is going away on August 28. They do have an email list you can add your info to to stay apprised of where their next location will be.

    Khao soi
    Jeffrey S.

    Anyplace that serves up a mean khao soi is automatically lifted in my estimation. And since Nuan's made a really nice version of it, I'd go back just for that. Part curry, part noodle; khao soi is a really special treat that just seems to get no love from many other Thai joints. When I inquired about it, I hadn't even looked at the menu, and they looked at me as if I was an alien. But a good alien. As they explained that yes, they do have it on the menu, they also asked why I had asked about it and were very excited to serve it to me. We ordered a few other dishes to try--a curry, a noodle dish, and the tom kha gai soup, and it all hit the table about the same time with love from the kitchen. The soup was a hit, khao soi was also popular. The noodle dish was pretty good--very similar to other noodle dishes elsewhere but no complaints. And I really wanted to love the curry more, but it had an off taste. Not like it was bad, but it didn't do that complex curry flavor that I've grown to love; instead it was a little one-note and stayed a little flat. A little while into the meal, the chef herself came out to say hi. She's very passionate about what she does, and her focus is trying to be as faithful to original Thai recipes as she can. They eschew all the sweetness of Americanized Thai and go for the herb and spice flavors more localized to the region. That's going to mess with your senses a little bit, but she's really dedicated to the proposition of it and you'll need to adjust your expectations. Once you do, I think it's actually a really nice addition to the Thai scene in Utah. I have to mention the same things that others have, though. They NEED to address the situation at the front. If someone comes in, they need to have a server stand, or at the very least some kind of signage to direct people around that wall. A "Please wait to be seated" or "Come in this way" or something. It was totally awkward and it's turning people off. Secondly, they need some kind of hold music in there. The young server was super nice, but he was following along our conversation from across the room and while it wasn't anything private, it was still awkward when he jumped in. Other diners don't want to listen to each other, either. These things made it sort of awkward and I guarantee are driving people away. Those are easy fixes. Hopefully they're addressed, and this will grow into a nice, neighborhood Thai spot.

    Pad see ew and yellow curry. Big enough to be shared.

    Nuan's is our go-to local Thai spot. Consistently good food and quick service. If you're brave, ask for spice level 5..good luck!

    If you're craving delicious mom-and-pop Thai food, Chanon Thai is the place to go. Their family-run…read morerestaurant is a true gem in Salt Lake, serving exquisite dishes made with both imported and local ingredients. This spot has become an institution, and it's easy to see why--the food is simply outstanding! Some of my personal favorites include their golden calamari, num tok, tom kha, yellow curry, pad gra prow, and the unforgettable fried bananas with homemade coconut ice cream. Each dish is crafted with care and bursts with flavor, making every visit a treat. What makes Chanon Thai even more special is the way they put their own creative flare on traditional Thai cuisine, incorporating seasonal ingredients that keep the menu fresh and exciting. Beyond the food, they are deeply committed to the community. From small acts of kindness to larger initiatives, their generosity shines. Don't be surprised if you walk in and see a box of items available for guests to take home. It's a beautiful reflection of how much they care, not just about their customers but about the community at large. Chanon Thai is more than a restaurant; it's a place built on love, flavor, and giving. I truly hope they thrive forever.

    Such a nice place on 9th. The staff are so friendly and super attentive…read more I got the massaman curry with tofu, with brown rice and their tom yum soup. The curry was a bit sweet for my liking, but the portion was good, and the potatoes and onions were cooked perfectly. Not soggy at all! The tom yum soup had so much flavor and had a good amount of tofu added. I also the curry puff appetizer and those were my favorite! Perfectly flakey with a side of sweet chili sauce. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. Parking can get tricky especially during lunch time.
