I've been to Xay's Danbury at least 3 or 4 times. What sets them an apart from all Thai restaurants…read morein Connecticut is the freshness of their ingredients and the tastefulness of their dishes. Admittedly I've never tried their Thai curries so I can't comment. My first trip here was to try the Pho. It was good, but it was on subsequent trips that I explored their Yums. Today I had Nam Khou which was crunchy rice, scallions, cilantro, and Laos sausage pieces served with romaine lettuce leaves on the side of the plate. I took that to mean I should scoop some of the dish into each leaf and it was delightful. While it is supposed to be two peppers hot, according to the menu, it was not but it was very flavorful nonetheless. You can always scoop some black chilli oil on top as they graciously keep condiments at each table. I also tried the summer rolls again. Now my favourite summer rolls used to be the ones in West Hartford with crispy pork and shrimp in them. However, I will say just the plain shrimp ones were wonderful. One nice touches they provide a little espresso spoon in the peanut sauce so you can scoop it's on top of each bite without having to dip and have it fall apart. The CREW was kind of quiet today but I came in mid afternoon so they were catching up on other stuff. However, the service was still great. I almost hate leaving this review because this is like my private spot that no one knows about. That's about to change.

Waiter immediately comes over to get our drinks order. When he returned, asked for egg rolls as appetizer. Then we ordered Pad see ew and Beef Kao pad. Egg rolls were so good!

During this time, two more couples arrived. And although we were done, they didn't come by to find out how we were doing. It seemed a little odd, but we patiently waited.

Not sure if they were bought out or had a change in chef's but this food was the worst Pad Thai and Drunken Noodles I've ever had any time anywhere. I don't normally include pictures but have here. The Pad Thai is red. The chicken in the Pad Thai was overcooked as well. It was for my wife, she couldn't eat it because it tasted so bad. I said I'd eat it, and after two bites even I am tossing it out. This was take out, so as far as the service they were polite, friendly and courteous. Again it was take out so the ambiance was my living room. In a sad turn of events, we will need to find another Thai restaurant. 0 for 2 screams there is a problem here. I hope they fix it and perhaps in a year or so I'll try this place again

The ambiance is very modern and colorful, with brightly colored walls and murals and really nice family photos and thai decorations up making it authentically thai-american. My favorite dishes here are the guay chai appetizers-- which are fried, deeply savory and chewy-- and their pad see ew which has a umami, wok hei flavor and a silky texture on the rice noodles. My only note is that sometimes the rice noodles come pretty broken up in pieces from the stir fry. Their red curry and pad Thai are also great, very flavorful with a fair portion. I appreciate how now they give you a spice rack to self-customize your spice level instead of relying on the kitchen. I only recently realized how GOOD their drinks are too. By far the best matcha lattes in Putnam county, as a matcha lover I like how you can really taste the matcha rather than just the milk. Their cocktails during golden hour are also amazing, and extremely creative. They also host events like trivia nights and open mics that I would love to attend one day. Thai golden has really set themselves up to be a wonderful hangout spot, and a nice third space to be a part of the community in. Great food, drinks, and vibes all around.

The place had a really nice and chill vibe, really nice decor and a great spot for a somewhat nice lunch.

But the stand out was the pad Thai. I've never had a creamy pad Thai and this was amazing. So flavorful. I didn't know what to expect with the mussels but I loved the mussels in the shell and it added a great flavor to the dish! I will definitely be coming back again to order this, and try some of their other items!
