| - I've got Le Thai at a 3.5 out of 5 Stars. Pretty good with some flaws.
Le Thai is a strange one to me, I can't exactly put my finger on it, but I don't mind eating there often (mostly because I live across the street), its better than most all restaurants around it, and its a pleasant dining esperience overall - it just doesn't get me that excited.
I've been here a few times and I've had the Pad Kee Mow, the Pad Thai, and the Awesome Noodles dishes. The meat choices are beef, pork, chicken, or tofu. I wasn't crazy about the Awesome Noodles, a bit too bland for me. The Pad Kee Mow might be my fav of the three, but the Pad Thai is also good. I think the noodles are a tad over-cooked and the meat is typically a bit too dry. Not enough to make me dislike the meal, but still noticeable detractors. There is also a pork jerkey on a stick type appetizer that i wasn't crazy about, too fatty/rubbery for my taste.
The meal selections are tiny, which isn't the end of the world, but there could be a bit more. They use the same noodles for each dish and although different flavors, each dish seems omewhat similar for that reason.
I like the selection of beer and saki, especially the saki.
The atmosphere is kinda cool, with trendy inside and outside seating, but the inside area is really cramped with tables squeezed next to each other.
The service I've had has been hit and miss. At times its been very good, and other times I'be been left alone for too long without refills or check ups. I wouldn't go as far as to say that the service is poor, they are friendly enough, it's just inconsistant.
Pricing is very reasonable.
Location is good because Fremont has really been missing decent quality restaurants
In the end i would never steer someone away from dining at Le Thai, it's just that i wouldn't rave about it either.
