D E Thai Kitchen — Restaurant in Las Vegas

This place has inspired my appetite for Thai food again!! Finally a Thai restaurant that serves Thai cuisine vs Westernized/localized taste. Thai spicy! So from a range of 1-10, 3 is Western mild/medium which is good for me who enjoys mild (Spicy 1 is nothing). Con is that we were really thirsty after :( So ingredients used aren't as clean as we wished. But the taste is way better than other local places in the Westside area.

Small place good for parties of 2-4. There are 4 tables that fit 4, and 2 tables that fit 2ppl. Don't get it confused wity Bangkok Street Food in DTLV. When I yelp, I accidentally searched that company vs DE Thai Restaurant. We walked over from Bangalow Coffee Shop.

The Thai items offered are general popular favorites. Exception regional specific food: Northern Thai's $17 Kao Soi, and Southern Thai's $17 Kua Gling, and $24 Ka Nom Jeen Nam Ya Pu.

$12 Papaya Salad. $16 Pad Kee Mao (Drunken Noodles) with crispy pork. Other proteins are lower in price, except seafood at $18. The noodles surprisingly was really good, egg pan fried. But the sliced mushrooms was a weird surprise haha $19 Spicy Catfish. Texture was good. Slightly fishy but expected for catfish. $3 per bowl of Jasmine rice.

No tap/house water. When you order water, it'll be an order bottle water. $4 coconut water. Not fresh version. Just the generic brand vita coco. $5 Palm Juice bottle.

I normally would pick Kao Soi and/or Catfish dishes. Interested in trying next time: $17 Kao Soi A spicy basil plate Larb $24 Ka Nom Jeen Nam Ya Pu $20 Beef Waterfall $20 Crying Tiger sausage, crab fried rice .....too many items I'm interested in trying. I'm pretty picky with boat noodle soup so I'm a bit hesitant to try. This place seems good for...

I live on the east coast, so while I have Thai food available, I think the ingredients are harder to come by out here. DE Thai was an incredible meal and some of the best Thai food of my life. The restaurant is small, so going at a less traveled hour is advised. I went midafternoon and was seated immediately. There are about 6-8 tables, with maybe 2-4 able to accomodate more than two people. I believe the proprietor was our server. And while she was busy multitasking she was attentive, friendly, and patient. Our appetizer came out quickly. The food was incredibly fresh and piping hot. I’m a vegetarian and prefer to not eat egg (adding the word vegan here in case it’s helpful for someone). I ordered drunken noodle with tofu and my partner ordered basil fried rice with tofu. The tofu was cooked perfectly; they accommodated my no egg request without question. The noodles appeared thinner and lighter than what I am accustomed to, but they were the right level of chew while still somehow being delightfully delicate. The fried rice was delicious. The spice level is 1-10 there, I ordered at a 4 because I usually get a 3 on a 1-5 scale on the east cost but figured I’d play it safe. Glad I did.

Also this food was insanely affordable.

It is hard to eat well on vacation in very tourist ridden destinations for vegetarians but Vegas does have a lot to offer if you know where to look. Thanks internet strangers for rating this place so highly. I was so pleased...

Yum for sure! Glad I stopped by after seeing all the recommendations.

I was lucky enough to snag a table for a lunch on a Monday. It definitely is pretty small inside with only a few tables but worth still either calling in ahead of time or checking it out if you're in the area if you wanted to eat in. It also looked like they were doing a lot of takeout orders. There is a fun 'hidden' menu on the chalkboard that I hope to try out next time.

The cashier/waitress was super nice - we had a great convo about the food and where I came from.

I ended up going with cashier recommendation which was the kana moo grob - the crispy pork with stirfry Chinese broccoli. It comes with a side of rice and can choose the spice level. I went for the spicy! The food came out in about 5-10 minutes. It has a bit of broth which I used to dunk my rice in. The pork was crisped perfectly - a nice crunch and well-seasoned. And the spice level was just right for me - had a few moments of tears in my eyes (of happiness) from the added spice. All-in-all, it was a great lunch dish that was filling and tasty for under $20.

Hope to...
