Soi 5 Thai — Restaurant in Clinton

The staff didn’t speak a lot of English but were very friendly and helpful.

I ordered chicken pad Thai (spicy level 3), bbq pork buns, crab rangoons, egg rolls, and a side of fried rice.

I’ve eaten a lot of Thai food, coming from a larger city and this place was decent. I enjoyed the pad Thai. It was good and I loved the spicy level, it was hot and I’m a big spice fan. My boyfriend got his a level one for the beef pad Thai and thought it was just borderline too spicy.

I didn’t eat the crab rangoons but my bf said they were decent. He finished them all. I wasn’t a huge fan of the egg rolls because I don’t like white pepper and there was a fair amount inside these. So I probably wouldn’t order them again. We both enjoyed the BBQ Pork Buns. Those were good and I’d order them again. As for the side of fried rice, it was just okay. Nothing memorable or special. Next time I would probably skip the side order of it unless I got a meat to go inside of it as well.

Overall I would go back. If you haven’t tried Thai food this is a good place to see if...

So i will start by saying this was my first experience here, and i will go back for a second chance. But unfortunately my first experience the food was not good at all. We got the pineapple fried rice, and it had way too much chicken bouillon. That's all you could taste and smell. The pad see u was cold, and it was all very dry. It was like it was old and reheated. We also ordered the Larb Esan and got the Larb mae janal. But i do understand everyone has off or bad days. And the language barrier didnt help when trying to ask questions. The lady just kept pointing to the menu. The building was very clean and they where very nice. So hoping this was...

If you love authentic Thai food and you happen to live in Clinton, IA then you have to go here. We couldn't believe we found this treasure while passing through. This is like NYC, LA, SFO good.

We had the larb nae and the pad kee mao. The larb nae was spicy like it's supposed to be. It's legit.
