    My favorite restaurant I been here many times and every time I came back i always try to get new things in menu , so delicious i like all the food

    Half my left over tofu rolls.

    Service is amazing. I could not ask for more. Our server was extremely attentive during a time when 5 sets of customers were in here holding it done by herself out front. Check the pics for the vibe. Laid back and perfect time on this hot day in June. We ordered some Thai salad roll. Both my wife and I thought it was impeccable! The sauces were on point especially the peanut sauce. We also order the pad kee mao. At spicy level 3 which I think is perfect for a guy who likes flavorful spice. On point will come back.

    Delicious authentic Thai food in the heart of Salem. Ordered take out, and they made sure my tea was freshly brewed. The inside of the restaurant is clean and very much has a vibe. Pad Thai, Tom kha soup, and spring rolls were good! Will be trying them again!

    Excellent Thai restaurant with high marks for food, service, and atmosphere…read more I've tried the Thai fish cakes, sweet and sour saute, pad bus sa ra com, mango sticky rice, and Thai iced tea and coffee. The savoury dishes were all super flavourful, cooked well, and generously portioned. Maybe this has something to do with the dishes I got, but I think the flavours here are generally more intense than the other Thai restaurants I've tried in Bloomington, and their spice levels might be a little higher. I've been somewhat underwhelmed by level 3 (out of 5) at other places, so I tried level 4 the first time I ordered here, and it was a little too hot, so I went back to level 3 the next time, and it was just right. The Thai tea and coffee were both very good, especially the coffee. It almost tasted chocolatey. The service is consistently on top of it. I was there on Valentine's Day, and they were slammed but had enough staff on the floor for it; the food was quick as usual and everyone was still very friendly. I also love the atmosphere here. The building is one of the converted houses on 4th St, and there are different dining rooms, some with lots of windows, all filled with interesting decor, and there's also a very nice patio during the warmer seasons. The only problem here is, unless there's a back entrance I don't know about, I don't think the building is wheelchair accessible; you have to go up a few stairs to get to the main entrance.

    Party of six, four adults (there is a children's menu). We had a variety of dishes, including Pad…read moreThai, Massaman Curry, Pad Woon Sen, and appetizers like fish cakes, spring rolls, and their crab rangoons. All were great, fresh ingredients, served in concert, and quickly, too. This was a family meal, and all were delighted, including the children with chicken fingers and fries. We're trying to expand their horizons, but picky eaters are tough. The appetizers were especially good, and each has their own different sauce. My order was well-spiced, and there was enough taken home for a second delicious meal. This is perhaps the best and most consistent Thai food in Bloomington. There are rivals to this high throne, and we try them, too, but this is our go-to for no-compromise Thai, every order consistently great.

    Came for sushi for lunch. They have a pretty extensive menu of both Thai and Japanese-style food…read more The design of the restaurant is beautiful yet subtle with artwork, fountains, and soothing colours. There are two dining rooms, and I think one is meant to be in a more Thai style while the other one houses the sushi bar, but both the Thai and sushi menus can be ordered in either room. I got a spider supreme roll, a Thai iced tea, and green tea mochi ice cream. The entree order included a complimentary soup. The soup was kind of odd but good. It had the broth for Japanese clear soup but contained diced carrots, peas, and corn (like the mixed vegetables you can get in the freezer at the store) plus the usual green onion. Again, it tasted fine but not like anything I've seen passed off as Japanese or Thai before. Spider supreme roll was pretty good. Maybe a little too saucy. The wasabi had kind of an odd blue tint but tasted alright (not great quality but not like the super cheap stuff), but that's minor. Decent Thai tea. The mochi ice cream itself was good, but I thought it was overdressed. I was skeptical of both chocolate and strawberry sauce with green tea, but it was actually a pretty good combination. However, the two sauces plus the whipped cream plus the sprinkles was just too many different flavours and textures, which took away from the simple mochi ice cream. It might've worked better with the strawberry or vanilla flavours to keep things simpler. The service was okay. The waiters were polite but a little inattentive. They seemed busy though. It wasn't bad food, but my impression is that this is not very authentic execution of sushi. I haven't had much sushi in Bloomington yet so I'm not sure how it compares to other sushi spots.

    I loved this place! I was in town visiting family and had the pleasure to eat here. As soon as I…read morewalked in, I knew the food was going to be delicious; the aroma of spices wafted through the beautiful, colorful Thai decor.

The menu is very vegetarian-friendly since you can choose tofu as a protein for most entrees, and even vegan-friendly since they have nondairy milk options for drinks and some entrees can be easily customized to be vegan (order with tofu/no meat and remove egg). I got a matcha latte with brown sugar crystal boba and the Pattaya pineapple rice. Matcha latte: The matcha was decent - it had the flavour of matcha latte mix rather than pure matcha, but it wasn't unpleasant, and it was strong. I like the brown sugar crystal boba as a topping - the flavour is very similar to brown sugar tapioca boba, but it doesn't sit as heavy. It's a different kind of chewy than tapioca, but it's close enough that it basically gives the same kind of experience as regular tapioca boba in a drink. Pattaya pineapple rice: Really good! The rice was well-seasoned and the pieces of juicy pineapple and raisins added some sweetness that contrasted very nicely with the curry-spiced rice. They have 5 spice levels (mild, medium, hot, extra hot, Thai hot). I usually went for medium heat when I lived on the west coast, but since this is the Midwest, I tried "hot" and found it had a bit of a kick, but the heat was still secondary to the other flavours, so it was the right choice for me. Very good service. The waiter was very friendly and attentive without hovering - he came by at just the right times. My drink and food came out not too long after I ordered. The place is nice. Like the other restaurants in this area, it's situated in a small house-like building. The atmosphere feels down-to-earth. There were lots of things on the menu that caught my interest, so I'll definitely be back!

    I know we just moved here, but this might be our go-to choice for Thai food in Bloomington!…read more The restaurant is small, but still maintains a good atmosphere.

I showed up about 50 minutes after ordering and my food was hot and ready on arrival. The host who greeted me and brought out my order was very friendly. While I was waiting for him to get my food from the back, another staff member also came by to check that I was being helped. I ordered the fried eggplant stir-fry with tofu and the coconut ice cream. The stir-fry tasted good, but I selected spice level 3 "hot" (and the takeout container had a "3" written on it so I know they got it), yet there was not a hint of spice in the dish, not even a single chili flake. I don't know if they messed up and forgot to add the spice or what, but I was kind of let down. Taking the heat level out of the equation, it would rate it about average for American Thai food. I wasn't really impressed by the dish, but I enjoyed it (spicy is nice but not a must-have for me if there are other flavours). I liked the coconut ice cream dessert. The included banana spring rolls were helpfully packaged in foil separate from the ice cream, so I warmed them up in my oven a little, and they were very good warm. I'm pretty sure that what the menu calls "homemade coconut ice cream" was actually vanilla bean ice cream with shredded coconut on top. Which is still delicious but not what is written on the menu. Based on my single visit, I don't think this is close to the best Thai in Bloomington, but it's alright, and I might come here again because it's closer to home than the other places I like. I might have even given the food 4 stars if it had just been described differently on the menu, but the lack of spice in a dish that was supposed to be made hot plus the "homemade coconut ice cream" not being that left a little bit of a bad impression.

We ordered carry out from All Thai'd Up, a new restaurant in the former home of Gasthaus. Ordering on Toast was easy, and the food was ready quickly.

The food stayed warm throughout the drive back. Everything we tried tasted wonderful - from the mango sticky rice to the pad see ew, and the pad Thai. Portions are a generous size and I ate most of my dinner, leaving about 1/3 of it for another time. This is one spot I'll be adding to my list to hit up again!

    Decor is cute. Feels Thai. Service was good. Waitress was very friendly. Food was blah…read more The pork and shrimp dip was fine. I appreciate the fresh veg to also dip. The crackers are extremely thin and makes a mess unlike the traditional rice crackers usually served this dip. We ordered pad kraw pao and boat noodles for entrees. The pad kraw pao was extremely salty. Almost inedible but the rice saved it kind of. I regret not tasting the liquid before spooning it on to my rice though. The boat noodles tasted off. Like the blood added for an emulsifier was old or the temperature was off when add. It really threw the soup flavor off that even adding condiments couldn't save. For dessert we got mango sticky rice and the coconut ice cream. They both looked delicious. However salted coconut cream that was on top of the ice cream was ridiculously salty too. Luckily we didn't pour it on the mango sticky rice and were able to control the saltiness. I really wanted to like this place since it was advertised as authentic Thai and I'm always searching for that but unfortunately the food just didn't hit. And it may be authentic in technique but the flavor is not for me. But there were plenty of other patrons that seemed to enjoy their food.
