I would advise against ordering the peanut sauce in general, either as a side or with the praram tofu. It's literally a solid blob. See pic and video. The lemongrass stir fry with shrimp is good. Nice and spicy like I was hoping for. The crab cream cheese puff is really good too.. but I just can't get past the unappetizing peanut blob. It makes me leery of what's in the rest of my food tbh. UPDATE: There's hair in my lemongrass shrimp. And since I've been COMPLETELY BALD since 2018, I'm confident it didn't come from my head. I can't recommend this place at all now. read more

Food is a must try! We had an order of crab cheese puffs (comes as an order of 4 with a generous filling portion), chicken pad Thai, chicken red curry, and a Thai tea. Service is fast and friendly. The restaurant is nice and clean with gold accents throughout. read more

My partner and I got the garlic stir fry and the tamarind stir fry. The tamarind stir fry was very good. Unfortunately they were out of duck which we had been hoping for. Service was good and the Thai Iced Coffee was nice and strong. read more

Would go back again; best Thai in the area. Food - Pad Thai made well (think sliced chicken, sauce is on point and you can customize spice level) the tea is a bit sweet so I recommend asking for light sugar. Service - is mostly take out and the front desk is warm and receptive. Ambiance - looks and feels authentic, although the seating is a tad dated. read more

The best meal we've had in Watertown! Authentic, family-run Thai cuisine from Bangkok. The service was also five stars! Gold decor to admire whilst eating incredibly yummy food, and we noticed the old couple working away in the kitchen through the open service window, too. So memorable! read more

We stopped here on our way back from Alexandria Bay.. The food was amazingly tasty, the portion sizes were large enough that we needed takeout boxes. Authentic Thai flavors without sacrificing the taste. The ambience was casual. Service was fast enough that we didn't have to wait for a long time to be served. read more

Great Thai food for such a small town in west TX. A must have when stopping by Alpine!

Excellent Pad See Ew and Drunken Noodles. The Pad Thai wasn't as good, as it was missing the Cilantro and the soy beans were hot and soggy. The flavor was too strong. I lived in Thailand so maybe I'm just picky. I can't wait to try their curries. read more

Consistent quality of food and service, despite sometimes being overcrowded. Highly recommend!

This Thai food is as close to authentic as it comes. Favorites of mine include the Laab, Som Tom and curries. The flavors are on point, how wonderful to have this Thai restaurant in Watertown. read more

Read all the reviews and was sold on eating there... reviews are great. We (family of 4) got there at 8:20. Website says they close at 9 pm. We entered and sat down. One table was eating. They came to the table and told us they were no longer serving. Website clearly states closes at 9 pm. Where is the integrity of this business. When I was a waitress, we took orders up to the minute of closing and stayed late to clean up. To further annoy me, they let a family of 4 come in, sit down and eat as they had ordered ahead ( even though their order was not ready!) BEWARE. read more

This was my second meal with Wish Thai Kitchen. First time was back in September 2024 & was a dine in meal. For that meal my son, DIL & I ordered, Vegetable Spring Rolls, Crispy Tofu (fried perfection), Tom Kha Gai Soup, Pad See Ew & Hot Basil Fried Rice. The meal portions were big enough to have leftovers & was so delicious! My second visit was a take out order in December 2024. Placed a big order for 5 people for pickup. With the food tasting so good from my first visit, we basically ordered the same meal, but added Pad Thai, Golden Triangle Puffs, Panang Curry& Mixed vegetables. Again the food was so delicious! Owner was a delight! He felt badly that our order took 45 minutes because he had 3 parties come in for a dine in just as we were calling in our order. Told him it was no big deal because I knew the food we ordered would be tasty. If in the area I definitely recommend Wish Thai Kitchen for your Thai food cravings whether it be dine in or pickup. read more

Food was delicious,and the service was wonderful. If you don't like real spicy food order mild! Lol

The menu had lots of choices and is very traditional. I got the drunken noodles and my wife got a lemongrass dish. The spice of the drunken noodles was true to how it was rated on the menu, 3 peppers which was plenty spicy. I may ask to turn the spice down a bit, next time (and there will be a next time). My wife's dish was rated 1 pepper , mild. Both dishes came out quickly and were steaming hot. It's nice to find a more traditional style restaurant in a small city, like Watertown. I've been to traditional restaurants in big cities, like NYC, Toronto and Ottawa and this was as good as what I've found there. read more

We went to Wish Thai for dinner last night and were pleasantly surprised! We ordered the papaya salad, pad see ew, spicy basil fried rice, and Thai Ice tea. The customer service is amazing, the gentleman took our order and served our food was very friendly and attentive. The Pad See Ew was a big sweeter than I prefer, but still delicious, I think I would like to try the Pad Kee Mao next time, but the rest of the food was so good! The only complaint was that they serve in disposable Tupperware/to-go containers, paper plates, and plastic utensils. It came in handy for left overs, but I'd like to dine in with real plates and utensils. And for environmental reasons, this seems quite wasteful. We will return and recommend this restaurant! read more

The area inside is a bit cluttered, but it's not anything to distract from the food. I had the shrimp fried rice. It tasted great and the service was quick and polite. The sushi is decent. read more

Don't Let Ambiance Deter You: Wish Thai Delivers Exceptional Dine-In and Takeout Experiences We bought a camp on Lake Ontario, and after a long week and an hour's drive, we usually get in around 7 pm on Friday, leaving us exhausted and uninterested in cooking. We stumbled upon Wish Thai in Watertown with little expectation. As a vegan, I always look for restaurants that cater to my dietary preferences while delivering authentic and flavorful Thai cuisine. Wish Thai not only met my expectations but surpassed them in many ways. Upon entering the restaurant, the ambiance may not immediately capture your attention. However, do not let that deter you. The true beauty of Wish Thai lies in the exceptional dine-in and takeout experiences they offer. While the interior may not boast extravagant decor, the focus here is on the food and the fantastic staff that brings it to life. Marlee, our waitress, is always outstanding. Her warm smile, attentive nature, and genuine care added an extra touch of hospitality to our dining experience. Interacting with the staff and even the owner made the visit all the more enjoyable. Now, let's talk about the food. Wish Thai's menu boasts a variety of traditional Thai dishes, and they offer a selection of vegan options. As someone who appreciates authentic flavors, I was delighted to find that the dishes at Wish Thai remained true to the essence of Thai cuisine. The spices were well-balanced, and the ingredients were fresh and thoughtfully prepared. As a vegan, be careful and ask questions. Some things are seemingly vegan but aren't. I love the Param Tofu (I substitute steamed tofu). The peanut sauce differs from any other, and I could eat it by the spoonful. Another standout dish, and my husband's go-to, is the Green Curry, a creamy and aromatic delight filled with fresh vegetables and fragrant jasmine rice. The curry paste's richness and coconut milk's creaminess resulted in a truly satisfying dish. You can customize the dish to your desired level of spiciness, though I recommend hot. Whether you dine in or opt for takeout, Wish Thai delivers excellence. While the ambiance may not be the highlight, interacting with the fantastic staff and owner is truly rewarding. Their dedication and passion for their craft shine through in every dish. mpany of the incredible staff and owner. read more

Number ONE Thai restaurant in Watertown!!! Very good food and very very nice waiter/greeter/clean-er-upper. read more

My least favorite Thai food yet sadly. I got two dishes for lunch, but got charged more than the advertised lunch prices online. The Pad Thai and Pad See Ew lacked flavor and any spice. I love little mom & pop restaurants and was hopeful based on the good review of this place! I should've been more concerned when they didn't ask for the spice level. The crab cheese puffs were pretty good. The noodle dishes did have a lot of protein which was a plus but the overall flavor was really disappointing. read more

We love Thai food and this location did not disappoint! We ordered the Pri King, Pad Thai, and Thai Fried Rice along with a few other items. The food was so amazing all around. Heads up it's on the spicy side which we love but you can order it mild. The service was great as well. Will and Tyra were very helpful in making sure we had a great experience. Whenever we visit Thousand Island, this will be our go to spot! read more

Grabbed takeout this evening to take to the local drive-in and it was amazing! Tonight I had the drunken noodles, and I love how fresh and yummy it was. Also they are great at keeping the spiciness to a minimum of requested. Still amazing flavor with just a little kick. Do yourself a favor and go here. This place is seriously the best! I had not been in for a while and the owners were excited to see me and my two lunch companions. They even shared some of their son's birthday cake with us and it was delicious! The food never disappoints and the service is friendly and efficient. I always go here when I want my Asian/Thai food fix because it is the best in the area! Another awesome meal here today! I dined with a group of 8 ladies and we all had excellent food! I had the pineapple curry as well as a spring roll and both were excellent! The owner also gave us all a bowl of soup since it was a chilly day! So sweet! Will be back soon! read more

Food was great. Good amount of spice. Not the most polished atmosphere, but the service is prompt and courteous. Definitely recommend and will go again when in the area! read more

Our family loves Thai food. We live on the road in our RV so we get to experience a lot of Thai Restaurants. Wish Thai is in our top 5 now, we had to come back a 2nd time before leaving the area. read more

Definitely recommend! Delicious food, prepared quickly and accurately and the customer service was great. We placed a good sized order for a family luncheon, some had never had Thai and I'm so happy that everyone thoroughly enjoyed the food. We ordered Chicken Pad Thai, Prik Pow w/Chicken, Broccoli Stir fry w/pork, Crispy Chicken Ka Pow, Curry Noodle with Chicken, Vegetable Spring Rolls, Golden Triangle Puffs, Mango Sticky Rice and Thai Iced Coffee. We were very pleasantly surprised with how quick the food was prepared, having it ready in 25 minutes and appreciate the friendly service. We will most definitely be ordering again. read more

Nice little restaurant in Watertown! The girl who sat us down was super nice and friendly! Pros: The service was fast. The girl was very helpful and suggested that if we don't know how spicy we wanted to go, to do mild because they can easily add more spice if we so desired. She kept checking on us to see how we were doing and if we needed anything, which is always nice. Cons: Personally the only con I would have is the portions are so so much which most people don't mind, but in my opinion less is more. Just got so stuffed so quickly, especially since the food was so good!! Will definitely be back for more! read more
