Thai Garden at the Ranch — Restaurant in Newport

This place is a gem!! I was so excited when I heard there was a Thai restaurant opening in Priest River as it is one of my favorite cuisines! It did not disappoint. The atmosphere is beautiful and they have a cute patio with hanging flower baskets and tables to eat outside. It was a little cool, so we opted for the comfortable booths inside. I had the Tom Yum soup and my friend ordered the Yaki Udon. The soup was delightful to look at with all of the beautiful colors and textures of the various vegetables and shrimp! I should have taken a picture, but I was hungry, so just dove in. I love spicy, so I got it seasoned 5+ (as usual) and it was perfect for my palate. We were also given the option to add our own spices at the table, if wanted. I ordered a Drunken Noodles to go and my husband said it definitely ranked with the best that he's experienced. I will be back for sure and highly recommend...

Really great AND FRESH Thai food. My friend, his buddy and I rode our motorcycles out to this new place to try it out and it was REALLY GOOD food.

Decent portions, coming from a big guys perspective, and tasted fresh like each plate was made to order. Good service and CLEAN restrooms.

The only two issues I can see with this place is them needing a bigger parking lot and dining room as this place becomes more well known in the future.

If you are in the area of Newport or Sandpoint’s area or passing through, give it a try. It was worth the trip.

I had the Thai fried rice with shrimp and spice level 3, like decent amount of black pepper and not too spicy…for my taste as I added 2 more spices to add a bit more flavor. May raise to 4/5 next time. Though spice is a relatively personal tolerance. Also had great fried spring roll appetizer...

Drove all the way from Sandpoint to try this place with high hopes after seeing a favorite dish--Kao Soi-- on their menu. It did NOT disappoint!! Husband ordered the pad see ew and said it was the best he'd had in YEARS. My soup was fantastic as well, and indeed very authentic. The waitress seemed a bit inexperienced/uninformed on the menu and couldnt describe the pad thai to us (we just wanted to know if it involved the ketchup-y style sauce, or the REAL stuff) but everything turned out great! My only regret was that we were too stuffed to try the mango sticky rice after. Next time ;) Overall, we're STOKED that there's Thai food this good...
