Update: food is now mediocre. Not authentic. Pad see ew was overcooked and too sweet. The noodles were soggy and stuck together. The portions have really shrunk. Would not recommend anymore.
Recommended by friends as we look for a dinner spot later in the evening. We arrived around 8pm and we waited about 25 minutes to get seated. The host told us 10-15 but it was happening in there so we expected a wait. Once seated, we waited another 10 minutes before we were offered water. So far, the service is not impressive and I would advise not coming super hungry because you will end up being hungry by the time all is said and done with food put in front of you.
I forgot to take a picture of the menu so I apologize in advanced for the vague description of the upcoming dishes. We tried the spring roll looking thing. It was actually really good. A bit of a kick with something crispy/ crunchy on the inside, wrapped with Lettuce and rice noodle paper.
We also had the chicken wings as the appetizer and they were very very good. It's a lime pepper salt coating and it was delectable. I could eat a whole basket of this. The steak salad was good as well. Not my favorite starter dish but definitely was not bad.
The 4 of us split the pad see ew, Tom yum salmon, duck fried rice and mango crispy catfish. Everything was very good. The pad see ew was probably one of the better ones I've ever had in the states. Everything tasted very authentic.
The ambiance has a hip high end feel to it. It makes a great date night spot and an intimate dinner with close friends.
I would say the service needs to be improved as we were only checked on once after our food arrived. And once we were done, we waited another 15 minutes before we saw any service, and that was only when the server came out of the kitchen to clean up the table next to us before she saw us sitting there with all our empty plates. We had wanted to get the honey toast but knew it would be another 15 minutes wait and we were too tired to wait any more.
The price is not that bad considering the quality of food and ambiance. I would...
Read moreMother's Day Dinner at Lamaii Thai Food.
This Mother's Day, my family and I decided to celebrate with a dinner at Lamaii Thai food in Henderson, and it turned out to be a delightful experience from start to finish.
The moment we stepped into Lamaii Thai, we were greeted by a warm and inviting ambiance. The decor exuded a casual yet charming vibe, setting the perfect tone for our evening.
As we perused the menu, we were immediately drawn to some of their signature dishes. We started off with the Tom Yum Goong soup, which was a burst of flavors—spicy, tangy, and absolutely refreshing. The balance of lemongrass, lime, and chili in the broth was spot on, and the generous portion of plump shrimp added a delightful touch to the dish.
Next up were the garlic green beans, a simple yet incredibly tasty side dish. The beans were perfectly cooked—crisp yet tender—and infused with just the right amount of garlic flavor. It was a wonderful complement to the other dishes we ordered along with chicken fried rice, and it did not disappoint. The rice was fragrant and fluffy, with generous chunks of tender chicken throughout. The flavors were well-balanced, and each bite left us craving for more.
Throughout our meal, the service was attentive and friendly, adding to the overall pleasant experience. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu and offered helpful suggestions, making sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our evening.
As we finished our meal, we couldn't help but reflect on what a wonderful dining experience we had at Lamaii Thai food. The combination of delicious food, welcoming ambiance, and excellent service truly made our Mother's Day celebration special.
In conclusion, we wholeheartedly recommend Lamaii Thai food to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience in Henderson. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply craving authentic Thai cuisine, this restaurant is sure to exceed your expectations. We're already looking forward to...
Read moreWe were looking for a Thai restaurant with a little bit of ambiance as well as good food when you walk in the door you see their massive wine selection and the restaurant is decorated really nice you see booths and you think oh great I'll get a nice comfortable Booth but then you sit down and there's no padding in them they're very hard also the seats are just wide enough for two people that weigh 90 lb but if you weigh any more you couldn't fit two on each side. I had the fried prawn pad thai and the best I can say about it is average it didn't have a lot of flavor there wasn't a lot of greens or onion bits in with the pad thai or anything it was pretty plain my partner had the duck fried rice and again maybe even below average the rice had no character very little flavor very few vegetables in it and the duck was okay but at times tough. Then I had one of the signature cocktails and I was shocked what a tiny drink you get for 14 or $16 it literally was about three sips. Unfortunately it's getting where you just have to stick to beer and wine when you go to restaurants. The service was below average. We needed knives for cutlery because you just can't eat this stuff without a knife but they don't bring you one my partner wanted to ask for one no one came around and never got it and I was completely finished my meal before my partner got her meal. The tomka soup was good but for $16 it was pretty expensive but it was enough for two people. I wasn't a fan of the inedible lemongrass all throughout the soup that should really be taken out before the soup is brought to you or left in large pieces so that you can remove it easily without having to reach into your mouth and pull out all this fiber. Too much of the menu included fried food which I really didn't want to have at a Thai restaurant. A waitress took my partner's food to put in a box and we waited 10 minutes for it to come back we...
