Baan Thai in Lehi, UT: A Culinary Oasis Worth the Visit

Step into Baan Thai, and you'll find yourself immersed in a symphony of flavors and visual artistry that transports your senses straight to the heart of Thailand. Nestled in Lehi, UT, this charming restaurant delivers far more than just a meal—it's an experience.

The dumplings, bathed in a luscious creamy sauce and adorned with an elegant orchid, set the stage for a culinary adventure. Each bite revealed tender, savory perfection that balanced indulgence with a refined presentation. It’s the kind of dish that leaves you pondering whether it’s acceptable to order seconds before finishing the first.

Next up was the dynamic duo of dishes: a soul-soothing curry and a lively plate of Pad Thai. The curry, rich and fragrant, cradled tender chunks of chicken and fresh vegetables in a coconut broth that could warm the coldest of hearts. The Pad Thai was a delightful tangle of noodles, peanut crunch, and bright lime notes—an orchestra of sweet, savory, and tangy flavors that left no taste bud neglected.

Presentation was clearly a priority, with edible flowers gracing the plates like VIP guests at a five-star gala. The ambiance was modern yet welcoming, and the service was as warm as the spice in the curry.

If you're looking for a place that brings together authentic Thai flavors with a flair for style, Baan Thai is the answer. This gem in Lehi doesn’t just feed you—it impresses you. Five orchids...

Simply exceptional. I am half Thai. Born and raised there as a child. Thai food is especially near and dear to my heart. The first visit to any Thai restaurant for me includes a plate of Phad Khee Mao (drunken noodles), chicken, 3-stars. It is the dish that I measure every Thai restaurant by because it is so commonly made wrong or poorly.

The flavor was exquisite. The sour of the vinegar was well balanced. Enough to get your attention without blowing out all of the other sauces that round out this plate. The sweetness level was also perfect. All too often Thai restaurants add way too much sugar because they claim Americans like it that way. If you’re going to eat Thai food, eat it like they make it in Thailand… not America. The chicken was tender, the vegetables were cooked through but still had a snap to them, and most important for this dish, the noodles were whole and not mushy. I can’t tell you how difficult it is to get all of this right. Baan Thai got it right.

I was too full for dessert right away so I ordered the mango and sticky rice to go. If it’s anything like the Phad Khee Mao, I’m in for another treat. It looks great.

I came at lunch on a Saturday. The service was attentive and pleasant. The decor was modern and clean. And, the food came quickly and hot.

I am from out of town (Seattle area). If I lived close by, I would come often and try more of the menu. I suggest you do the same. I will come again next time...

Food and service is fine but the price doesn't match what you get IMO. I've eaten a LOT of Thai food in SLC. I'm not saying that to direct you to somewhere else in particular, just to let you know I have experience to compare. Veggies were undercooked in both dishes (massaman and pad see ew). Flavors were to be expected. I liked the noodles a bit more than I usually do but my wife is the Pad see ew lover and they weren't as good according to her.

I would have been perfectly content with the meal though if it weren't for the price ($20+ per person)! I'm not too picky and average Thai food is still good food in my book. But, hibiscus flower on my meal aside, there wasn't some incredible ambiance that I would want to pay for, nor anything unique that I could see that would justify the price. I can only imagine that the reason for the price is the location (Johnny Rockets is next door and also super average food/overpriced. It at least has a unique vibe.) or because the other Baan is in Park City.

Probably won't go here again unless someone in my group of friends insists. There's above average Thai for lower prices all over SLC and Happy Valley.

However, if you like way overpriced product for average experience this place might be for you. (I'm talking to you, people reading this on your iPhone while drinking from your...
