The food here was yummy. We had an appetizer that was a Thai chicken curry puff which was excellent. My husband had a mango chicken entree which was just the perfect sweet and spice. I had a green curry chicken which was equally good. The service was friendly attentive and quick. The perfect size resturant not to big and not to small. We will be back. read more

Bummed. We are not normally in this part of the state, but we were and decided to search out dinner on Yelp. We do this often with great success, but sometimes it's a miss and this was. It's likely the best Thai restaurant in the area, if not the only Thai in the area. In general the dishes were sweeter than the same at other three other Thai restaurants in the Fairfield/Bridgeport area, including the coconut soup and Massaman curry shrimp. Sweetness is a key flavor in Thai, but so it the heat, which was lacking. Nice people, great service, busy (but able to get a table quickly). I won't be back, only because I am never in this area and would likely go to the Lebanese place just down the road (also positively reviewed on Yelp). read more

Hit or miss, sometimes it's very good, sometimes it's mediocre. Gotta think it depends upon the chef.

I've tried a few things here, so I can rate the things I've tried. Crab Rangoons: Delicious and creamy. Crab Rangoons at other restaurants have made me sick but these have never done that. Very crabby and tasty. Fresh Spring Rolls: They have a little too much cilantro for me because I don't like cilantro, but other than that they're refreshing and have shrimp in them which makes them flavorful. Fried Tofu: definitely a must-get if you like crispy tofu on the outside and soft on the inside. Their sauce that they give with it is also different and interesting. I enjoyed it. All their sauces contain peanuts. Squid Pad Thai: The squid was perfectly cooked. It was melt in your mouth good which you wouldn't expect from seafood but it worked with the squid. It wasn't overcooked and rubbery. They put too much peanut sauce on the dish which ruined it for me. It was sickening sugary. Next time I will get a different squid dish that isn't pad thai. I wouldn't order it again because of the overly sweet saucy noodles. Pad See Ew: It had a delicious salty brown sauce on thick noodles. It was like the Thai version of chow fun. I love chow fun so I loved this dish. That's all that I've tried and I would go back here again. Overall: good place but never order the pad thai. I've had better pad thai from a street vender by Yale University. read more

Absolutely delicious. We are Thai food addicts and this place is wonderful. Highly recommend.

Outstanding Thai cuisine! All freshly made noodles are amazing as well as their dishes made with various curry sauces. Extensive menu with wonderful appetizers. Great selection of Asian beers I am a fan! read more

Had the minced chicken, drunken noodle and wild boar basil. Fresh and authentic ingredients, very friendly staff, big portions. Will definitely be back! read more

FINALLY! After a three month search since moving to Bethel CT we found this little gem of a Thai Restaurant. Nothing and no where we tried until this place measured up to our standards of what authentic Thai Food is. This place is that. We asked for our food to be made "Thai Hot" (which is not for the faint of heart, but typical of how it's made in Thailand) and boy did we get it. Face melting hot and incredibly good. Other places we had asked for it to be made this way required us to ask for a side of chili to make it even a quarter of what this was. Just this alone told us they are the real deal. Sate chicken = sublime. Basil chili chicken and lemongrass chicken, amazing. Larb Gai (salad) incredible. No dumbing the flavors down for the locals for a change and boy, it was delicious and just as it should be! We will be going back again, and again, and again! So Happy! read more

This is the best Thai restaurant I've ever been to. Don't let the understated exterior fool you, the food is authentic and absolutely incredible, and everyone on the staff is always so sweet and accommodating. On busy nights, there might be a short wait but it is WORTH IT! Whatever you order, you can't go wrong. Thank you Thai Delight for always being incredible! read more

So I wanted a good meal for my visiting family. Looked up restaurants and came across a review for Thai Delight, stating that it was ranked #2 for Thai cuisine in CT. Home run, I thought! Three of us enter a sketchy locale with great trepidation due to 1) multiple hand-written signs stating that NO ONE COULD USE THE REST ROOMS unless they paid. We assumed that the (defunct) gas station next door must have been bringing in riff-raff, and were pleased that we planned to pay for our meals and could use said bathrooms if need be, and 2) the fact that this hovel was sandwiched between the aforementioned defunct gas station and a spooky quarry or landfill of some sort. The exterior did not prepare us for the quaint interior which looked as if it was someone's living room decades ago. Not yet put off, we agreed that the menu items sounded good. I ordered laab, which I regularly make at home (but I use ground beef versus the ground chicken laab on the menu) and typically enjoy. My sister ordered #50 - Pra Ram chicken (peanut sauce), and my son ordered #53 - chili-lime chicken. In addition, we decided on fresh spring rolls for an app, which were brought out quickly and were edible. But that was pretty much the only edible item we received... our meals were absolutely among the worst we have ever had the displeasure of ordering ANYWHERE. My sister's Pra Ram was gloppy slop with a tinge of plastic taste, with over-cooked veggies and a side of rice that was simply a solidified starch ball . My laab was overwhelmed with chopped raw red onion and NO OTHER FLAVORS. I could not taste any lime nor sweet due to the piles of red onion. Took 2 bites and gave up. I tried my son's meal; he had less problems than my sister and I, but it was pretty nasty too. He didn't finish it- a college boy who hadn't eaten all day AND who NEVER snubs his nose at Asian cuisine...we tried to smother the flavor initially with some (requested) sriracha, but it WAS NOT SRIRACHA! We had been given some weird smoked paprika/cayenne sauce that had been masquerading as a sriracha because it was in a sriracha bottle (we KNOW our hot sauces)...to summarize, steer clear! What a shame that our adorable waitress totally knew that the food sucked- she was friendly and efficient but did NOT ask how our meals were- she knew...! read more

Really enjoy this hidden gem. Located on Stony Hill between Exits 8 & 9 off I84 in an unassuming little building, the atmosphere is warm and the food is very good. The Panang, Pad Thai, Drunken Noodles are very nice. The Tom Yum Goong soup is exceptional. Worth visiting and much better than Danbury's other Thai restaurant. read more

Thai Delight Restaurant - Coconut and Tom Yum soups. REALLY good. - Thai Near Me - Newtown, Connecticut

I had lunch here based on the good reviews on Yelp*, and I went on a weekday as a break from work. The food is very good, but I found the portions small and even stingy given the prices. For an appetizer I had a spicy vegetable dish with four breaded shrimp. It was very good, and the shrimp were not doughy, mushy, or over breaded as is often the case with fried shrimp. It was $7.95. For a main course, I had four shrimp (unbreaded) in a green coconut milk sauce with cooked vegetables (zuchinni, eggplant, and something else (?)). It was delicious, but the four shrimp were very small, and the vegetables sparse and few. It was $10.95. For desert I had coconut custard ($3.95). It consisted of three small bowls of non-dairy "custard", served warm. I don't know what else it contained other than sugar, but it was nice and fairly sized. All together, the cost was $25 before tip. I'd go there again, but ask the waiter for larger servings. read more

To echo a previous reviewer's sentiments, pay particularly close attention to your takeout orders. Twice now I have come home to find meat in my order, despite being very clear (the employee on the phone even went so far as to ask if I was okay with egg in my meal.) This restaurant started strong, but has waned in recent months. I won't be going back anytime soon. read more

Pretty good for Thai not too expensive. The only odd thing is they play the kiddie music satellite radio channel so it is like eating Thai in a nursery school read more

Truly the best Thai food we've had in Connecticut so far. Been to a few other places that just had the flavors all wrong! Coming from Hawaii, we can't help but know great Thai food, and compared to NYC which kills the Thai food this place was pretty good. read more

Nice little place and the food is typical Thai, it's good for the area (not many choices). Avoid the pad thai, go for the lemon chicken. Service is rude, server had an attitude and would not refill water. Huge sign outside saying bathrooms are for customers only, it should give insight to the attitude of the staff. read more

A pretty good option in an area with limited Thai competition. Quality is reasonable and prices are fair. The wild boar basil and drinker basil chicken were both above average. Dumpling appetizer was mediocre. read more

See all

Excellent, fresh food!! We most enjoyed the winter shrimp, papaya salad and coconut soup. Everything else was also fresh and delicious. Good service, comfortable prices. The only thing that was a problem is that I don't like spicy foods at al but wanted to order certain dishes.. they were not able to make them not spicy. For example, you can't order eggplant dish unless it's spicy.. it frustrated me to try to find dishes I could eat that won't burn me. read more

Favorite for take-out. Never get tired of the Cashew Chicken. Spring rolls are good too! :)

My initial review was negative, but they corrected the problem of the food tasting kind of like butane. Everything was good today. Super nice waiter. read more

A very welcome addition to the neighborhood! Excellent food and friendly service. Dishes are fresh, well spiced and not too heavy. Everything we have ordered here, we have enjoyed! read more

I was in Danbury for 2 nights and had to have my Thai food. Looked up this place and decided to go in for lunch. The service was pleasant. I ordered the red curry . It was too sweet for my taste, I felt like it was missing something. The ginger hot tea was really good. But if you are in town you should try it you make like it sweet read more

When Thai Delight first opened, we were ecstatic to have finally found delicious Thai food in the area. We frequented often and it was never a disappointment - until recently... Our last several visits have been mediocre. The Thai is certainly still one of the better in the area, but I feel the caliber has gone down substantially from when they first opened. :( read more

Very good food and service.crab Rangoon was really delicious. We went with big party and service was quick and very good.

Great food, cheap lunch menu. Portions are large, staff is friendly, one of my favorite Thai spots in the area. Will be back.

My wife and I have enjoyed eating at Thai Delight for several years. This is a hidden treasure in the Danbury, CT area. My wife is particularly picky about food prep. Thai Delight continues to keep her happy, and, as we all know, a happy wife means a happy life. Enjoy read more

Made a reservation for 8 for Saturday lunch. I was asked to pay the appetizers and any food. I was surprised because I've always paid food ordered on the day of our reservation. I paid it anyway. She asked me what kind of meat I want in pad Thai, I asked why because in Samui Thai and other Thai restaurants, they never asked, it has chicken, shrimp and vegetables. This is when she rolled her eyes and gave me a face!!!!! How unprofessional! I was just asking anyway. I will never ever go back to Thai delight! read more

Great food and service. Note the restaurant is small so if you go at a primary time you will have to most likely wait. Pineapple rice dish is the best!! read more

I'd heard of this restaurant from friends who'd eaten there and raved about how good it was. I decided to try it and was not disappointed. My wife and I had the Thai curry puffs (which were excellently flavored, light and fluffy) and fried squid that were scored, lightly breaded, and cooked to tender perfection. The Pad Thai was flavorful and the noodles cooked to perfection. The ginger chicken had lots of tender chicken and vegetables with just the right amount of ginger. The restaurant itself is very cozy and intimate with excellent service where the staff was very accommodating and no request was too great. The Thai iced tea and coffee were liquid desert and I wished I could order them by the quart. My friends were right and I will be going back to enjoy other dishes. read more

Thai delight is awesome. It's good food and good service. It's not quite the 'me and the guys' atmosphere, but a romantic, 'treat your lady with something fine and unique. I was passing through and came out glad to have run into this tasty Thai restaurant. read more

This place is fantastic! Their pineapple fried rice is the best fried rice I've ever had. I definitely recommend it. The staff was really nice too. I'll definitely be going back in the future. read more

A small place with surprisingly good food. I think the best Thai food in the area. Everything I've tried, and I've been several times, has been excellent. read more

It is always very cold during every season. I took my family there in August. The waitress got every single order incorrect. What a way to ruin a birthday celebration and spend all that money. I tried reaching out to the owner and the waiter asked if this was a complaint. I said I wanted the email since he couldn't provide me a phone number. Ahh detective work told me it was not the owners email but the servers email. Will I ever go back? Hell no. read more

Been eating here since it opened - innumerable meals. Over time the experience has gone downhill food wise. Just seems "tired" and overpriced for what it is. Left feeling hungry and sad with a lunch bill of $45 for two (no drinks even). I don't really understand the decline in food quality and taste. read more

We have eaten here more times than we can count. Over the last 6 months, the quality of the food has significantly decreased. We are quite disappointed and likely stop ordering. read more

It's hit or miss. Not always the same taste, if there are different chefs cooking or what. I ordered more than one basil fried with 1 star spice and others normal taste but it ended up all taste the same spice level. I may not visit again... read more

The place was freezing, the plates and bowls were ice cold and the Papaya salad was inedible. I don't know what was in it but it wasn't papaya. The fried tofu appetizer was cold and watery. The sauces were bland and the coconut soup was too sweet. The veg fried rice was mediocre. All in all it seems like there is not a lot of care given to to preparation of the food here. The place looks seedy too read more

Excellent food and good service. The pad Thai was excellent. Thai ice coffee was amazing.

Don't be put off by the five (yes, five) signs on and around the front door warning you that the bathrooms are for customers only. Once you get inside, the staff is actually very nice and the food and drinks are fantastic. Have been here a few times, shared many dishes, and have yet to be disappointed by anything I've ordered. read more

I was in the area for work and found this place. The staff was great and the service was prompt. The food was delicious, I had Pad Thai and it had a nice flavor. I will stop again when I'm back in the area. read more
