Not writing or acknowledging the existence of Le Thai while working and living in downtown should be a misdemeanor. This restaurant has filled a need for not just a great Thai restaurant downtown but just a great restaurant downtown. There is not one dish I wouldn't recommend. My favorite's the Thai salad.
Typical lunch crowd consists of table-fuls of Zappos people, talking Downtown projects or lawyers coming up for air from 16.1 discovery. Night time is a more eclectic assortment of people, unified in their readiness to sample the bar as much as the food.
The staff is always nice even when they're busy. I can easily eat there everyday. But I'm Asian, so eating Asian isn't out of the norm, it's like eating pizza and hamburgers all the time for Americans. The only competition with the food is the great ambiance. A late lunch with a good friend can easily turn into a early start on the weekend with drinks. Life is good here at Le Thai.
