151 Thai Bistro — Restaurant in Iron Mountain

The main reason this place doesn't have a five star rating clear across the board from everyone is the staff are quite rude. The food is phenomenal, top notch. The sauces, the appetizers, the main dishes...everything was absolutely delicious! But when we called in to place a pick up order the lady taking our order made us aware of added proteins being an extra cost- didn't tell us the upcharge price, just began using a judgemental tone with us to try and make us feel like we couldn't afford what we were ordering.... Continue on. After ordering a combo platter to split, 2 lunch dishes and a sushi roll; the lady actually laughed at me when she asked if that was all and I told her yes. Laughing at a customer and disrespecting them by making them feel like what we're ordering is too expensive or too much food, is ridiculous and uncalled for- I'm bringing you BUSINESS and you're going to have the gull to LAUGH at me?!?! We go to pick up the order and the lady at the register was rude to my husband. This is only the second time in my entire life that I've never left a tip. I was a waitress for years and over tip everyone all the time. But not here. I would've came back tomorrow because the food is so good, but due to the horrible customer service we will be going elsewhere. There's plenty of restaurants that know our money is green and will greet us with a smile. Thanks for lunch. Work on your manners if you want to actually ATTRACT return customers. Good food will never excuse poor...

I am so glad that I found this place! Very extensive authentic Thai menu. I am a curry addict and there were more varieties of curries than I have seen in many bigger city Thai restaurants. I always order the hottest level, they do customize and answer questions about your preferred spiciness, and I found it to be not that hot but still so flavorful. I ordered the Red, Green & Yellow curries and was very impressed with the differences between the sauces and veggies in the sauces. It was obvious alot of care went in to creating these recipes. I am excited to try some of the other curries and the signature dishes. Do yourself a favor and try this restaurant. There is something for everyone and it is fresh, flavorful and as spicy(or not) as you request. The waitress was so helpful and kind-she was confused about why I wanted 3 dishes...I tried to explain that I live more than 1 hour away and...

Don’t get the tom kha! Literally just the clear soup with added coconut milk. No spices or lemon herbal flavor/aroma (the pic is tom kha leftovers after sitting ~20 min). Crab Rangoons were basically cheese rangoons (all melty cream cheese, practically no crab or texture). I can get the same plate of chefs special General Tso’s chicken back home for $5. The peanut sauce also tasted very generic, like from a packet. Honestly felt like a Chinese takeout restaurant trying to trick you with fake Thai food and prices. That being said, the wait staff was especially fantastic and the interior of the restaurant was very lovely.

Update: I came across a review that mentions that the owners are Chinese and the restaurant used to be Chinese food. Which makes A LOT of sense considering how the Thai food on their menu was...
