| - Granted, I've only been to two Thai restaurants in my life. Compared to the other restaurant I went to, this is, in fact, not the best Thai food in the United States, nor even in Las Vegas. Going by taste alone, I enjoyed my dinner, but having ordered the exact same thing elsewhere, it did not match up. It should not matter what menu I order from, if something is served on the menu from a restaurant touted as the best in the United States, I shouldn't have to limit myself to a particular item or set of items to taste this quality.
The location, as others have mentioned, is absolutely horrible. Off the strip on Sahara, it's hidden away in an area that makes me feel uncomfortable every time I go there. The interior was nothing special and did not stand out to me...seemed quite unauthentic, way to strip-mallish, but alas I've never been to Thailand, I would not know what is truly authentic. We happened to sit nearby a group who met with the owners, who both seemed nice but Bill was quite dressed down for whatever he was doing that evening (sweatshirt and sweatpants...not quite what I was expecting). Like I've mentioned in other reviews, appearance and first impressions mean a lot when you eat out...much of the reason why many never come back.
To have to put so much into going here (reservations a week in advance or waiting a few hours if you come unannounced, I was expecting more. The reviews here were for the most part spot on, but to each their own I suppose. I came with high expectations and left wishing I'd never came.
