We were looking for a place that was inexpensive and stumbled upon Beyond Thai. It's an unassuming place tucked into an old neighborhood strip mall. You'd blink as miss it, which is a shame because it's one of the best Thai food restaurants around.
The host/waiter sat is at a table and immediately brought us water and gave us time to look at the menus.
We ended up with the pad thai with tofu, the basil entree with chicken and sesame chicken.
The pad thai as not heavy and the tofu was pretty darn good (as far as tofu goes, and the medium heat we requested was just that, perfectly seasoned. Not too hit and not too mild. It was the Goldilocks of spice.
The basil entree came with mushrooms which the dish normally does not have anywhere else, and yet, worked really well in the dish.
The sesame chicken was lightly fried which is a rarity. These were perfectly fried in a light sesame sauce and the white rice was light and fluffy and sticky. You could get brown rice for an extra two bucks.

Read moreLiterally the best thai place I've ever been to in my entire life. I crave the food here all the time. My partner and I eat here or order from here at least once a week. If I could afford to eat here twice a day, every day, I would. I swear, this place is THAT good. You can't find these prices anywhere anymore.

Writing this review is making me crave Pad Thai and a cucumber salad now. Will be ordering for lunch or dinner for sure tomorrow 😍🤤 I recommend the following dishes: Chicken Pad Thai, Cucumber Salad, Green Curry, Panang Curry, Pot Stickers, ...
Read moreI always check reviews before making a decision on something, especially food. I’m shocked they aren’t rated 5 stars.
I called ahead to pick up my order and it was ready in exactly 15min during the 2:30pm ish hour.
When I pulled up to the place, I noticed that it looked like a hole in the wall, low key kinda spot. Basically the diamonds in the rough of food lingo. Lol. Boy, did it exceed my expectations with timeliness, food quality, and service. I’d say the prices are fair for what you get. I got the Shrimp Pad Si Ew Lunch Special with a Thai Iced Tea for $20.
The shrimp was cooked perfectly and the sauce for the Pad Si Ew brought me back to my childhood. The lunch special came with a fresh salad and egg rolls of your choice that are light and crispy to the bite. The Thai Iced Tea was EVERYTHING I wanted and more. Two toned and mixed perfectly.
I definitely found my new favorite Thai spot for my...
