  • I will start by saying that I love Thai, but likely what I enjoy is the Americanized Thai that doesn't burn my esophagus while going down or make me shoot fire..that being said I have one measuring stick against which I measure all other Thai restaurants. It is Malees on Main. If the food doesn't measure up to their delectable dishes, I will not bother to write about it. So, in order for me to write a review there really has to be something that stands out for me. Below are listed Lao Thai's pros: The first page is a menu of common Thai ingredients, such as lemongrass, kaffir lime, curry, and garlic. This glossary introduces you to the therapeutic effects of each ingredient, primarily on the digestive tract ;) The meal choices are seemingly endless, with page after page of curries, house specialties, varying meat and rice dishes, as well as vegetarian and vegan. Unique to this restaurant are the assortment of fresh fruit or young coconut smoothies for under $5. The mango smoothie is perfect for pairing with spicy foods. I order Thom Ka Gai at every Thai restaurant, and honestly they don't compare to what Malees has to offer...but their soup had a nice balance of kaffir lime, galangal root, lemongrass, and coconut milk. With juicy white chicken meat, it is a good appetizer before selecting your entree. The average dish is about $10, and the servings are generous and served family style to share. I loved the selection of curries, and ordered the Yellow Curry. This is as simple as Thai dishes get, with potatoes, carrots, and chicken. It was curious to me that the server did not promp for level of spice, and accordinly everyone's dishes came out tasting quite mild - but that is what the chili paste on the table is for. I prefer the fresh chilis and chili sauce at Malees and being able to request how mild or hot I would like my dish prepared. But I digress...the curry was very good, but not overwhelming. The menu selection here is vast and plentiful, the prices are very reasonable, service is attentive and friendly, the restaurant is tastefully decorated with Thai art, and the space is open and clean. It is not an overwhelming restaurant, nor does it underwhelm. As I mentioned before, it doesn't measure up to my measuring stick - otherwise I would be more generous with the accolades.
