| - Took my wife here on her lunch break this afternoon. This place managed to get us well fed and on our way in under an hour which is a pretty great accomplishment in itself.
But that was the thing that impressed me least. This restaurant is a modest little space tucked away in retail center that you might miss if you aren't looking closely. The parking lot is tight, and often full.
I'm not sure why, but the restaurant only had a few other tables when we were there during the peak lunch hour on a weekday. I can't really complain though, the place was quiet and provided the perfect atmosphere for an afternoon lunch date with my wife.
The place is impeccably clean, and well put together. The decor is less like a traditional Thai restaurant and more like a modern bistro you'd find in an urban restaurant district.
We had two different servers waiting on us, making service as quick and efficient as we could hope for given the circumstance.
I love Thai food, but I can't say I've been the most adventurous when it comes to the menu at most restaurants. Poke fun at me if you must, but I usually get pad Thai, garlic string beans, or basil chicken.
I tried the pad Thai here, which proved to be an excellent choice because it was one of the most enjoyable renditions I've ever had. Not too soft, with a bold, well-balanced smoky flavor.
I'm not sure why, but I always request the highest spice level (5 at this restaurant), and Thai restaurants never deliver the heat. As with every place, the server asked me if I was sure if I wanted it so spicy, and when I said "most definitely", I was brought a mild dish. Maybe they've had too many past experiences where people have requested full spice and couldn't handle it so they didn't want to risk having to remake any more food. I don't know, but when I say I want it hot, i'm not playing games! No worries though, like all great places, Table Thai has a spice assortment of powder and sauces to kick up the heat of the food to your liking.
My wife got the yellow curry chicken, which she seemed to love, and while it did look delicious, I don't enjoy curry so I can't comment on the flavor of her dish, except to tell you she enjoyed it immensely.
They serve an excellent Thai iced tea in a mason jar glass, which adds an interesting touch to the classic drink. Very nicely done!
The food and drink portions were enormous, especially for a lunch special, which is an impressive $7 meal that includes a soup and salad.
The only item I didn't care for was the soup. It was a little light on flavor in my opinion: a simple broth/onion soup with broccoli and a dumpling. I almost feel bad griping about it because it came with my meal so I didn't pay any extra for it and my wife seemed to really enjoy it.
Overall, I think Table Thai is one of the best Asian restaurants I've tried so far in Las Vegas and I'm so glad we found it!
