| - I had been dying to try this place out for a while now because I've read so many great things about it. Instead of going to First Friday, my friend and I decided to beat the crowd and head to Fremont Street a little early and get some drinks. To my pleasant surprise, Le Thai was not very busy at all.
The restaurant is quite small with about 4-5 tables inside and a bar seating area that seats about 8 as well as the actual bar that seats about 8. It also has a back patio that has tables, as well as a front patio section. It's cute inside, but it was warm. Granted, it was about 110 outside, the AC was probably having a hard time keeping up.
Anyway, our server was nice but not very attentive. We placed our food order and told him we'd order drinks in a second since we never got a drink menu and had to ask him for it. He never came back to get our drink order so we asked the SA who dropped off our food and he had to go find him for us. Also, they dropped off food but never gave us untensils, so we also asked the server when he came to get our drink order.
We ordered the waterfall beef, which comes with a side of sticky rice. Holy YUMMO! This dish is out of this world. I could just eat this all day long. It totally reminds me of food my mom used to make for us growing up. SO EFFIN BOMB. It's basically sauteed beef drenched in this lime/fish sauce. The sauce wasn't very potent so those opposed to fish sauce might still even like it. I, however, LOVED it and was drenching my sticky rice with it.
We also ordered some Pad Thai to share. On a scale of 1-5 spicy level, I ordered a 2 and it was dang spicy! Even my friend, who loves spicy, agreed that it was quite spicy. Despite that, it was freakin' delicious. It's some of the best pad thai I've ever had.
The food here is off the chain. I want to go back and try EVERYHING on the menu! They have larb and I wanna see how authentic it tastes, coming from a family where my mom grew up in Thailand and cooked Thai-style food my entire childhood. The prices were reasonable as well.
