Outstanding! Our family of 5 enjoyed a delicious dinner. We started with appetizers of pork dumplings and edamame, and then thoroughly enjoyed chicken with peanut sauce, red curry to die for, and various seafood woks. We will be back! Great place for dates. read more

My first 5 star rating! For a small state, we have tons of Thai restaraunts but Rainbow Thai is a must. The food is beautifully presented and tastes amazing. Servers were very courteous and made us rad na even though it wasn't on the menu. The view of the river also makes the restaraunt a very relaxing location. read more

Rainbow Thai - Thai Near Me - Westport, Connecticut

I loved the atmosphere of this restaurant, but the shrimp pad Thai was bland and the noodles were overlooked. I was excited to try this restaurant after viewing the pictures of the pad Thai on Yelp, but I later realized they were posted over a year ago. Maybe it was an off night for the restaurant, but my pad Thai did not look nearly as good as the pictures. read more

3 stars only for the food and the view. The host was really rude. Reading all the reviews, looks like it had great staff at one time. Sadly, not any more looking at the most recent reviews. I did go in with an open mind. Oh, and parking's a b*tch. read more

Tastes great, less filling... Well, beer commercials aside, this place is ok. Fish was not particularly fresh. Sauces were nice. Service was good. Portions were "petite" to say the least, in consideration of the price. Would not drive very far to repeat the experience, but I've had worse Thai food in CT. read more

Outstanding Thai. Had the Pad Thai and Drunken Noodle lunch special. Will definitely be back. Although Westport tends to be little hoity toity, the little strings of shops in this area looks solid. Also looking to try the highly-rated Japanese place a few doors down. read more

Thank you Rainbow Thai for AMAZING FOOD and AMAZING SERVICE!!!! You are our number one go to restaurant for consistently delicious food.

Recently shifted from jersey and wanted to try Thai since I love it.. I was craving for ##Roti Canai and found it in only this Thai restaurant. We were a group of 6 and we all loved what we ordered. place is little small but nice and quite and hospitality was great!!!! Spicy fried rice and Roti Canai was a big hit n fav among our group. read more

This place is our Jam! We order take out from this restaurant a min of 2 times a week and it's not unusual 2 times. The food is super fresh and always delicious! We like the staff, they are accommodating and at this point remember us. This easily compares to our Thai regular spot in Brooklyn before coming to CT, so, that says a lot. read more

The best thai food I've personally EVER had. I love, love, love their chicken pad thai. I always order that SAME dish! I'm hooked...no one does it better. They deliver and their food is always so fresh and so tasty. The red curry, basil chicken, green curry and drunken noodles are also GREAT! I'm in love with this place. read more

best Shrimp Pad Thai in the area; very nice Tom Yung Goong soup pleasantly spicy and quite nicely flavored - the one thing they could do is change to a different shrimp vendor or change the cooking technique because they are coming off as sort of "twice boiled" and that is not what you want. Some dishes really call for the shrimp to be sauteed, not boiled - and if you swap in the boiled ones it's not an enhancement. In the Shrimp Pad Thai - the shrimp should be a little bigger, and they should be sauteed not boiled. However, the noodles are quite good as is the sauce. Overall, still the best Shrimp Pad Thai in the area. Also, a quite nice view of the river and boats nearby. read more

Fantastic. Far and away one of the best experiences I've had. Having visited twice with a group of four, we tried different dishes each time. Every item ordered was perfect. I highly recommend the chili lime shrimp appetizer, which is beyond incredible, and the curries - having tried their red, yellow, and jungle styles - were each excellent with the exact right amount of heat requested. The drunken noodles and sambal are also flavorful and prepared with a touch you would expect from a master chef. Prices are very reasonable for the portion size, and the service is friendly, swift, and accommodating. If the tables are open, you can even have a view of the water while you enjoy your meal. Each visit to Rainbow has been a pleasure and I will surely return many, many more times. read more

Love the food here. My friend and I ordered green curries shrimp and pineapple fried rice. Both dishes were delicious and not pricy. The only thing I do not like that much is the vegetable soup. It was a little bit too salty. Overall nice environment and food. read more

I really love this place. I order the same thing every time: Chicken fried rice with an order of fried banana and mango and sticky rice (yes, I get two deserts with my one meal). I always order to-go so I have no clue how the service is for dinning in but I have never had a tummy ache after eating the food here and I thoroughly enjoy the fried banana dessert. The only wish I have is that they would give a bit more pieces of the fried banana. read more

BEST THAI restaurant around. The duck salad and the chicken pad thai are great! read more

Great Thai food, excellent service, and nice location. The drunken noodles, and chicken wings are a must try.

Quality and quantity has gone down. Used to come here and enjoyed the food. Now, the Roti is burnt and soft; pad sew ew portion was tiny. Ended up ordering 2 more dishes to compensate for the portion size. (Previous visits-no need to add more dishes). Something changed here...either new owners since the staff looks different too. read more

ordered take out from this place one and half hours later the rude host couldn't really care we are busy do you still want your order? doesn't matter if food is great or not avoid this place read more

We stopped for lunch on the way home from a weekend trip and were very happy with the food and service. Had the spicy crispy red snapper, pineapple fried rice and roti. They were all excellent but the crispy red snapper stood out. Sauce was delicious, with plenty of veggies and just spicy enough to enjoy without having to drink gallons of water. Service was awesome, with the Manager (maybe owner?) stopping by to make sure everything was okay a couple times. Parking lot has plenty of space and can't beat the water view. read more

Pros - food is good. Atmosphere is quaint. (Had the mango salmon, which was great.) Fair prices. Cons - very little parking; had to park down the road and across the street (on a Wed evening). So dark, I could barely see my food and read the menu. Waiter didn't speak English well so I couldn't explain that I wanted my meal not spicy but with a bit of a kick. Therefore, suboptimal meal. Also, he kept staring awkwardly. read more

Decent Thai in Fairfield County has been impossible to find for a long time. This is very good, for the burbs. One of the best Pad Thai's I've had anywhere - tasty, a bit dry. Try the Tom Kha Gai coconut soup! Small quaint, dozen tables, prompt cheerful service, very sparse modern clean locale. Long time, scruffy challenged little strip shopping "mall", restaurant is nicer inside than the exterior. Looks over unfortunate waterview in Westport, but it is somewhat bright and officially a "wet" view. If you are in this area of Fairfield Cty and crave Thai - about the best around - currently. Thai restaurants seem to "turn" quickly for some reason in Norwalk, Westport & Fairfield - hopefully this one will stick around. If you are tired of the same old Chinese haunts, this is worth a try. read more

Had the drunken noodle. Delicious. Small restaurant, great service, good prices, beautiful view.

Met a friend for a quiet dinner. Food was excellent! My favorite was the coconut chicken soup - and I got the pineapple fried rice with chicken. Will definitely go back! read more

Despite having a dizzying array of Asian restaurants including Chinese, sushi, Vietnamese, and fusion of those listed, there hasn't been a real Thai restaurant in the area since Shake Shack took over the location of the last Thai joint. I am happy to report that Rainbow is excellent basic Thai execution. The curries I ave had we're all excellent and authentic including the masamam, Penang and red curry varieties. I have both taken out and dined in. The food is tasty and inexpensive. It's good for lunch since its directly on the saugatuck river and offers the cheapest waterfront meal around. read more

When I lived in San Francisco I used to eat Thai food 3-4 times per week. Then I moved out to Connecticut and stopped eating Thai food because there were no good restaurants around until I discovered Rainbow Thai a few weeks ago. I've had the Roti Canai, the Pad Thai, and many of the curry dishes, all which were excellent. If you're looking for a Thai restaurant around the area, this is a no brainer. read more

Delicious. Another great addition to Westport dining! Rainbow Thai is delicious. I had take-out once and ate in a few times... and can't wait to go back. The pork dumplings as an appetizer are very good - the dough is thin and delicate, and the meat is well seasoned a juicy. I had the chicken pad thai both times, that how delicious it is. They have a full bar, and the restaurant is small but cute, without any frills... the special thing is the food! So, no pretension but a very solid delicious meal, and at a quite reasonable price. I was wearing casual clothes when I went in and didn't feel out of place at all. The only negative: service was a little slow, but then again they are so busy, that's to be expected, and they were very nice which made up for it. read more

excellent thai. one of the best red curries i have had in a long time. watch out for the jungle curry it is super spicy, it's what my wife had. fish cake appetizer was well done. pretty neat view of the river and bridge, if reserving, ask for a table right next to the window. great service. nice wine selection. fairly quiet atmosphere which is what we were looking for. affordable, great value for the quality of food. will definitely be back again. read more

Best thai I've ever had. Everything was great: food, service, ambiance. Will definitely come back! read more

Love rainbow Thai! A weekly staple for me since they opened. The staff is great as is everything i've ever ordered.

This was really good food! I stopped by there after the Korean restaurant was closed for a function. I wanted fried rice! The house fried rice was the best I have every eaten. So flavorful the scallions were tender and bright. The chicken was juicy. The tomato was cooked to perfection the entire dish was buttery and moist. I even returned the following week. It's never as good as he first time, but still very good food. The drunken noodles were good as well. Not over cooked! read more

In the short time since they've been opened, I've been there 3 times (2 dine in, and 1 takeout), and I can't wait to go back. It's about time we had a good Thai restaurant around here. Parking can be tough, and the service is a little slow, but I am hopeful that it'll get faster as they work out the kinks. But, the food was worth the wait, and the service is very friendly. Good luck Rainbow Thai! read more

Great Thai food in Westport. I really enjoy Thai food both in Thailand and in many cities outside. We were thrilled to try this restaurant because my son is a vegetarian and have been back 3 times in the last month. I found the papaya salad too spicy for my taste on the second occasion and the server took $5 off our bill spontaneously. The food is very enjoyable, but this example shows why this restaurant builds up loyalty above and beyond the food. We like the riverside location that allows us to look at interesting water fowl. I highly recommend, but emphasize that the spicing is true rather than being Americanized. read more

We ordered takeout and were less than impressed. The chicken wing appetizer was unplucked with the feathers still visible. Totally gross and inedible! The pineapple fried rice was mushy, and the pad Woon sen was just okay, but on the dry side. The only standout was the roti. We wanted to like this restaurant, but unfortunately this was not $50 well spent. read more

Best Thai around. Very impressed with food quality and good price for why you get. All the dishes I ordered were lite tasty and delicious. Would come again and really recommend read more

I got some quick last-minute takeout here when I was in town- Tom ka ga and spring rolls. I walked inside to find a beautiful interior. The resto faces the Saugatuck River and our apps were delicious. Will be back soon! read more

Rainbow is one of the best Thai restaurants in southern CT. The staff is gracious, well trained and quite eager to keep customers happy. The kitchen produces wonderful, delicious food. Our favoritie appetizers include larb and curry puffs. Their best entrees are Duck Choo Chee, Spicy chicken with Basil and drunken noodles. The atmosphere varies from quiet on weekday evenings to raucous on the weekends. All in all an excellent choice for Thai food lovers. read more

Solid Thai place. Food is great and the people are always super nice. The parking here is a little tight but I usually get a spot and can get a table with little to no wait. If you don't want to deal with parking you can get delivery or pick up, both of which are fast. read more

Best Thai food in the Fairfield county area. Pad see ew was spicy and saucy. Will definitely go back again

Food was decent. Service was meh. Staff was sort of indifferent to the fact that you are there paying for service. I can't reconcile a service business that doesn't care about service. Décor is mediocre. I hope I'm not being overly critical because the place is fine...There's just nothing about it that makes me want to go spend $30+ a head for it again. read more

Solid. Comp for us was Pinto in our old neighborhood in the West Village (high bar).
