| - I am in undeniable love with their food! Eating at other thai restaurants in the city only makes this emotion stronger!.I think the key to the amazing experience I have always had( and I have been here many many times) is that their focus is only on one thing, the FOOD!
A simple and unassuming restaurant, the decor does not do much nor do their serving bowls. I have always had my curry served in a big plastic white bowl, with no frills or decorative food garnish. One bite into the curry though, my tongue experience excitement, happiness, contentment and wholesomeness all in one go. Being partial to spicy food, I always get their Green Curry with tofu, which is inherently spicy, at a scale of 4 on their spice rating. I once got a 5 and boy it was spicy!. The basil and thai eggplant which go into the curry are cooked to perfection. Just thinking about the green goodness makes me want to go back for more. I have also had the Panang with tofu which is as good as a Panang can get. Creamy owing to the peanuts added to it, the curry comes with perfectly cooked carrots, broccoli and bamboo shoots. Each bite wants you to keep going on without a pause. My husband has had the Masamun and is all praise for it.
While the fact that I do not consume seafood never enabled me to try any of their soups, I am willing to bet they would be equally delightful. We have also tried their fresh spring rolls and potato pockets from their appetizers selection and have found them to be excellent accompaniments to the meal. Their meals always feel fresh and portions generous! Truly generous. I have often eaten without restraint and still have had leftovers to go. Unlike other places, where the rice accompanying the curry is in much smaller quantities, Bahn Thai is generous with their rice too!. My husband and I have celebrated several important occasions here, choosing Bahn Thai over a fancier looking restaurant for one simple reason--The Food!. Their food, in the simple plain white bowl adds to any celebration magnificently!. What are celebrations about anyway? The joy of the occasion, the presence of loved ones and really good food! And thats exactly what you get! Without nothing to distract you from the food, I think Bahn Thai scores by keeping the decor simple and understated.
I would certainly go back to Bahn Thai as long as I am in Madison.
