Overall: 4.3/5 [dine in]
We had a reservation so we were seated shortly after arriving. However, their service was slow due to the restaurant being packed, per usual. Despite being busy, one of the waitresses was very kind and offered to take a family photo for us with the Christmas tree as a backdrop.
Sugar Cane Coco Mojito ($14): A light, refreshing cocktail made of soju, fresh squeezed sugarcane juice, coconut milk, mint, & lime. All the ingredients worked well together to create a cohesive drink and was great for washing down the salty food.
Bangkok Mango Margarita ($9): A tequila-forward drink with lime juice, chili, and Hawaii black salt rim. It was tasty, didn't have an overpowering alcohol taste, and was at a great price point.
The Galaxy ($5): Refresher made with honey & limeade.
Crunchy Tofu ($10): I don't know how they did it, but this is one of the best fried tofu appetizer I had in my life! The exterior was perfectly crispy, while the interior remained soft. The sauce & peanut topping added incredible texture & flavor. This is a must try here!
Gai Zapp ($12): This is Thai crispy chicken served as a standalone appetizer. Unfortunately, it was quite dry, and the flavors felt flat.
Crispy Chicken Drunken Noodle ($15.95): I love the wide flat noodles which were also bouncy. The crispy chicken was delicious & remained crispy the whole time.
Spicy Basil Crispy Pork Belly ($16.95) + Add Ground Chicken ($3.50) + Fried Egg ($2): The pork belly was overly dry and hard which was disappointing since it was good the first time we tried this dish. Surprisingly, the added ground chicken worked better in this dish, complementing the sauce & flavors more effectively than the pork belly.
Cryin' Baby Tiger ($19): This citrus-forward salad comes with grilled eye round beef, red onion, green onion, cilantro, mint, grounded roasted rice, dried chili, and Thai spicy lime dressing. The grilled eye round beef was perfectly cooked and served in generous portions. However, the salad needs to be eaten right away because they put too much of the Thai spicy lime dressing which makes it too sour if left to soak.
Spicy Tom Yum Noodle Soup ($16): This hearty soup comes with egg noodles, stuffed wonton, ground chicken, shrimp, ground peanut, bean sprout, cilantro, & green onion. It exceeded my expectations and was perfect for the winter season - warm, flavorful, and comforting.
Lychee & Pineapple Curry ($20): This curry is made with a red curry base, shrimp, lychee, pineapple, bell pepper, and basil. It's served with a side of jasmine rice. While the concept was interesting, the flavors were too subtle and lacked the bold, umami-rich depth typically associated with a good curry.
Beef Short Rib Khao Soi ($19): The short rib was tender and easy to take off the bone & cut up. The khao soi broth was delicious and had the right amount of umami. We chose level 4 spice which the non-spicy eaters had no complaints about.
My husband and I dined here twice now and thought the first time was better. However, the food is still better than many of the other Thai restaurants we tried so I'm going to average...
Read moreI want to disclose that i'm a big fan of the food. I love the environment of the place as well. I've visited many Thai places in Vegas and Charm Thai by far is my favorite. I've met the owners before and they are very respectful. But I have a huge issue, which are the waiters. The servers are very inefficient. Ever since I started going there I haven't seen a single good waiter. Lately I have been served from a guy that works there, i'm assuming he is a kid. The first thing that was disturbing was when I asked for chopsticks, he hands them with No wrapper on them and was touching them at the end. Just from that incident my meal was already ruined. For some reason the other waitress opened the door and left it open until I requested it to be shut, which I thought to be strange in the first place knowing that it's very hot outside. It quickly became hot inside the restaurant. Then the food comes, I ordered curry and as the waiter set the curry on the table it was spilling all outside the bowl. As he handed me my rice I noticed the way he was holding the bowl, with his palms over it which is not how rice should be served. At this point I just wanted to storm out. Another thing, he is wearing way too many bracelets that have long strings at the end. It's very unhygienic because the strings are long and it touches the food. Another thing that happened last time I visited was when he was refilling my water, he puts the pitcher over our food and pours the water, and when he is done refilling, the pitcher spilt water directly on my food. He didn't say anything and walked away as if we all didnt notice. The servers at this place are not effecient, at all. Some of them have bad English and no people skills to serve. Like I mentioned before I really liked the food, and the owners are great. The reason why I am not coming back is the service from the waiters. They...
Read moreAn absolutely wonderful place - we were greeted by some of the kindest employees I've run into in a while. They were so bubbly and knowledgeable, knowing the menu inside and out and providing great recommendations. They checked on us regularly but not to the point of being overbearing or intrusive. They were even thoughtful enough to ask about allergies before taking our orders.
This is clearly a local favorite as they were slammed by both to-go orders and in-house diners throughout the evening. They moved like the wind answering phones, taking orders, serving refills, checking on patrons, and there were only three members of staff in the front of house. The entire time they had such warm and wonderful smiles on their faces paying tribute to the restaurant name.
The food was outstanding - the crab rangoon was light and crispy with a slightly sweeter, but still satisfying, filling. The fried pork belly (Happy Belly on the menu) left us with just that. It was fried but not greasy at all and the accommodating sauces were perfect. For an entree I ordered the 24-hour Beef Noodle Bowl and it was superb, and I could taste every delectable second of the 24 hours it was slow cooked.
If you have not had Thai food before and are looking to try it, or are a fan already, I'm not sure you'll find a better...
