Thai house has historically been a Thai and Chinese fusion restaurant. My family and I have been coming here since I was in diapers.
This location useds to be a "fish bowl" restaurant & the OG Thai house location was on roswell rd near a laundromat.
Since the pandemic I haven't been able to go till this weekend. I was honestly so excited because I missed their food so much. I am always creature of habit so my go to dish was always Pad See U. I saw so many people at the restaurant so I had high hopes.
While, the food wasn't bad. I will say it is NOT AUTHENTIC. They changed the chef and I could tell immediately by the taste of the food. This was not the same person or the same flavors.
Wallet it wasn't completely terrible. I don't think I would recommend this restaurant if you're looking for Thai food specifically.
I wouldn't call this a Thai house or any Thai restaurant. We ordered from the Thai menu and the Chinese menu. The general tsao's chicken was the wrong color of chicken. Usually this chicken is a darker brown color and a more richer flavor. This tasted like a really bad sesame chicken. It really lacked flavor and it was more on the sour side.
Another item we ordered was pad see u, which is from the Thai Menu. The noodles when it came out, wasn't the correct color which meant it lacked the correct seasoning. The noodles Itself was so salty and no other flavor, but the eggs were so sweet. This used to be my favorite dish at the restaurant along with the Tom Yum soup.
It was from eating the soup. I knew the chef was not cooking Thai cuisine. While it didn't taste bad it also wasn't good. I ordered Tom Yum, but I got a soup that tasted like Gaeng Nor Mai Som. Which is a soup from Laos. Which has Tamarid in it. I could definitely taste that tamarin flavor. Well, Tom yum is a little bit sour. It's from lime juice. Tamarid just has such a distinct flavor, which I don't hate, but that's not what I ordered.
Out of curiosity, we asked the server where the chef was from. The chef was from Laos. Again, I have nothing against Laos cuisine. I actually quite enjoy laos cuisine it except it wasn't what I wanted to eat. I wanted Thai food! The chef didn't have to be from Thailand. They just needed to cook proper Thai food. And obviously Chinese food because that was low-key worse than panda express.
It was my fault for ordering samosas at a "Thai" restaurant, but my mom wanted samosas. I don't think I need to explain the authenticity because they don't even look like traditional Samosa, But my mom did enjoy it.
The spring rolls were edible, but they weren't spring roll filling. It was more like an eggroll filling. There was just straight up, cabbage in it. Normally eggrolls, have cabbage and pork. Spring rolls have veggie and sometimes the glass noodles and carrots. This was a big bite of fried cabbage rolls in my opinion.
If you're looking for a Asian restaurant with an identity crisis, this is a great place to go to! The only thing authentically Thai was the Thai tea. Would I come back here again probably not but like I said it wasn't terrible. Just It just wasn't authentic or even remotely close to the original flavor this restaurant had. read more
