I want to like this place, especially since we order a lot of catering from them for my work. When I visited them for the first time, my friend who was a regular find the food not as good as usual so their regular chef might be on leave. Being from Southeast Asia I hold Thai food to a high standard so it might still be nice to others. It was Friday evening so it was pretty packed so as soon as we finished eating we felt rushed to leave because the staff approached us apologetically and told us that there are people waiting for our table. I don't know if that's common in the US but I've never experienced that before. The timing was also difficult because my friend was crying and sharing her story at the time when we were told to leave. I know it wasn't personal but it wasn't the best feeling.
Authentic Thai cuisine with great explosive flavors. The curry had a good mix of spice and coconut flavor. The appetizer plate gave a good mix of all the favorites. Good pricing.
The restaurant is small with only 8 tables. They do a lot of take out which is a bit annoying if you sit near the door but the food more than makes up for this.
Went couple times now. Food was just ok. Rice dish was almost all just rice. Kind of boring. Curry is usually ok but nothing to write home about. In general barely any chicken on dishes. Definitely lots of room for improvement on flavor.
They are so nice here and the food is really, really good! Huge menu with everything thai food. Food came out so quickly that I was done even before the wife finished shopping at foodland 😆 located right next to foodland, not in the strip mall. …
I use to love this place. The shrinkflation is just so bad now. Same prices but this is the third time where there is a noticeable difference between the quantity of one order vs the other, even though they are the same type of noodle …
Good variety of tasty food. Lots of parking. The waitress helped make some suggestions of what to order, and everything was good, except, I wasn't crazy about the sticky rice. It had some hard, crunchy(dry) pieces, and for an individual serving, it was expensive. I would definitely go back, but no sticky rice
I've ordered from this place 2x. The first time the food was good. The second the food was so so. I was a bit disappointed as Thai food is one of my favorites. Parking is limited do to the lot being shared with multiple other businesses.
Really kind, personable service in this cute little nook of a Thai restaurant. There is a brisk takeout business, too. …
Ordered Tofu panang curry, summer rolls, pad thai, golden calamari and tofu green curry. The food was very good but I wasn't a fan of the calamari and the summer rolls. I do recommend the pad thai. It was tasty and flavorful!
Thai issan has great food and great service! I am a returning customer and will continue to come back, especially after today. I ordered a fried rice for to go one and it was a little burnt. I called them and they made me a new one with no questions asked. I really appreciated that. Thank you thai issan.
