I don't know if I would say Lao Thai is a great Thai restaurant, but i would definitely say Lao Thai is a great restaurant that happens to serve Thai food. The atmosphere is relaxed, the service is fast and friendly, and the past 2 times I was there they were rockin some pretty awesome 80's jams. They have an impressive menu, with plenty of vegetarian options and I thoroughly enjoyed my red curry, even though it wasn't very spicy.
