“ The food is always great from here. I got the spicy Mongolian beef extra spicy and it was perfect. The staff is always friendly. We go here often and will definitely be back. ”
“ We had heard great things about this restaurant and were not disappointed! The service was great and the food came out fast. We ordered the chicken satay, crab rangoon, and Tom kha soup for starters. We then tried the peppered steak and basil chicken with rice. Everything was super fresh and tasted amazing!! We would have gotten dessert if we were not so full! We will definitely be back soon! ”
“ Super beautiful ambiance inside, a little small but decorated really well! The Thai Fried Rice was really yummy with a good amount of veggies and the Basil Duck was great especially with the sauces they provide at the table!! Would totally come back again! ”
“ A few friends recommended Thai First so I ordered takeout. The Chicken Panang Curry was so flavorful and delicious that I almost ate the whole serving in 1 sitting. I would have finished it easily if I wasnt full. It wasnt overly spicy either maybe more towards medium. It also comes with a side of white ride. ”
