Lanna Thai Restaurant — Restaurant in Livermore

If you are not coming here for your Thai food, you are doing yourself a disservice! I just finished eating at this restaurant, and would like to place my observations first before I rate the quality of my food. The waiters bust the tables with immaculate precision and cleanliness. I watched over a period of 45 minutes each waiter and server and sure that, the amount of customers who came in were appropriately numbered, and given a correctly sized table, and within 30 seconds, everyone at the table had waters. Other couples who came in and asked for wine were promptly given the wine menu and had drinks at their table within under two minutes. Couples or groups who had finished their meals, had their tables bust at precisely the right time where it didn’t feel like the group was still trying to leave, but incoming parties were able to be sat down at clean tables and provided with fresh menus and cutlery. The atmosphere and environment was warm and welcoming, and, had plenty of space to be able to enjoy your meal and good company without feeling crowded by others. I ordered an entrée, the pineapple fried rice, and within seven minutes of ordering, my dish was served. It was piping hot, and the combination of spices and seasoning blends was absolutely first class. These cooks are clearly performing at the same top-notch level that the waiters and servers are trained at. I would highly recommend that you give this location your time and your hard earned money. It is an absolutely sensational restaurant and you will be taken care of, as if you were the wine-ed and dined...

We decided to try this Thai restaurant for Mother’s Day dinner. We are a family of four and definitely over ordered because everything looked delicious. The food was very good but the service was very poor. Not one time did they ask if we needed anything after they brought the food. We would have to ask them for water extra napkins hot sauce etc. waiting on the bill to come my family had went outside to the car it still took them about five more minutes to bring me a couple of to go containers and the check. When I received the check everything looked good very expensive well over priced for the portion sizes. I have no problem paying that Price if you’re going to put a good amount of food on the table. But I did notice a 18% service charge or gratuity already included in the bill and I was completely taken back. We were already spending about $130+ tax on our meal for two little girls and two adults. He removed the charge and then was completely rude to me after he had to remove it. I paid the bill with a $25 cash tip. Handed it to him and did not even get a thank you for coming. I thought we found a good restaurant but unfortunately We will not...

If I could give 2.5 stars I would and I don't feel I judged it too harshly because I kept in mind that it was delivered.

I have never written a negative review before so I will give the positive first because I feel bad.

My husband's Pok Pok Shrimp was great. It was crispy and had a great little kick of spices and flavor. The white rice was well priced and fine. The sweet chili sauce for dipping was delicious.

So I got the Pra Ram Chicken. It was filled to the top with liquid. So any peanut sauce that was put on top was watered down and it had no flavor whatsoever. I could only tell there was peanut sauce because of the little bits of chopped peanuts. My steamed vegetables were overcooked and didn't taste fresh in anyway and I couldn't eat them. Which is odd because I can eat grean beans from a can cold. I'm not a picky person. The spring rolls were soggy but I expected that due to the heat inside the container but the actual flavor of them was just off. It had such an odd after taste that I stopped eating them

Maybe this was just a fluke but I will go back to our usual Thai place in town...
