| - I was quite impressed with Le Thai! A few coworkers and I ate "family style" there today so we could give the place the "Thai test". I can safely say that this place was a hit. The atmosphere, especially outside, is really cool. It's casual yet sheltering from down town Vegas. There were heat lamps this afternoon since it was a little chilly which made the comfort level quite nice. To top that off, the service was excellent. Food came right away to our table, and the waitresses made sure we were happy from start to end.
First off was the Tom Kha Khi (chicken). I ordered some lime juice on the side, as i usually do for this dish. The soup was quite delicious, perfectly sour with my addition of lime juice. Very nice coconut broth, lemongrass, generously sized and plentiful mushrooms, and a few chunks of chicken filled our bowls. The mixture of herbs was masterfully prepared I thought, but there really wasn't enough chicken.
Next up was the garlic fried rice with beef. This was perfectly prepared, and again the herb flavors where just amazing. The beef was flavorful and not at all chewy. There wasn't too much grease, but there was tons of flavor! Just how I like my fried rice.
We also tried the Awesome Noodles. They are indeed awesome. There is a similar dish served at Thai Style Noodle House, and Le Thai does a better job. Light smokey flavors balance the lightly sweet sauce. This dish is kind of a cross between Pad Thai and Pad See Ew. Very nice, I would order again!
Last up is the infamous Three Colored Curry. I have to say that this was much better than the version we had at Mixed Zone. It was light, but flavorful enough on my brown rice. I would love to try a more "powerful" version of this curry.
For dessert, we tried the Roti with Nutella. This was definitely the most unique version of a Roti dessert that I have had. There was fried egg in it, along with yummy Nutella, and topped with powdered sugar. Very rich, very different. It reminded me of French Toast with chocolate.
I am giving Le Thai a 4.5, rounded up to a 5. While this place doesn't trump my two or three favorite Thai restaurants in Vegas, it is definitely up there. The food is slightly Americanized, but my only real beef is the spiciness of the food. This is definitely American spice levels, not Thai levels. Of course that is nothing a little chili powder can't solve.
