| - LOCATION: I've walked past Le Thai so many times without ever realizing it. They don't have a sign! I went there specifically looking for it and nearly walked past it. I frequent Vanguard and its literally directly across the street.
AMBIANCE: Walking in, I immediately noticed the small space has such a pleasant decor that feels very home-y and welcoming. Lots of wood, wicker chairs, and an exposed brick wall--almost like a hipster apartment. I chose to sit at a table but you can opt to sit at the bar as well.
FOOD: The whole food menu fits on the back of the beverage selection menu. Makes sense, small restaurant small menu? But it won't disappoint. The menu is small but mighty. There's a selection of appetizers, soups, stir-frys, & curry. I was dining solo so I didn't get to sample much: Thai Chicken Wings & Chicken Ga Pow (Basil Stir-Fry). Chicken Wings were perfectly fried and quite spicy (in a good way) and the sriracha ranch it was served with was addicting! The Ga Pow had a kick. Wish it had a little more fish sauce but it was definitely some of the best stir-fry I'd ordered at a thai restaurant! Next time, I'm taking on the curry!!! I've heard only good things about it.
DRINKS: Decent size beer & sake selection. I was sick so I went for the House Green Tea.
SERVICE: When I first arrived, I felt like they were too busy to pay attention to me. They were taking a bit too long to take my order and they didn't come around enough to check on me or to refill my water. But as it got a little later and the place started filling up, I felt the servers became more attentive and the service got better. One thing, why you so stingy on napkins? Thai food means runny noses! I need more than one napkin at a time.
I'll be back!!
