Thai Drift — Restaurant in Orem

First time here with our family. We love Thai food and have been to most Thai restaurants in the Utah Valley.

When we arrived we were seated quickly and the staff taking orders seemed very kind. They took our order and brought out some appatizers. The satay chicken and spring rolls came out in about 5 minutes and did not taste fresh at all. They both lacked flavor and had to be drenched in the sauce in order to taste good. The rice that came with the satay chicken was in a sandwich bag and was very hard and sticky. Almost tasted a few days old. The spring rolls seemed very limp and skinny and the beef was very bland. They looked nothing like most springrolls. We were not impressed with either of those.

We all ordered some curry and that came out hot and delicious It tasted great and actually came with fresh rice. The only issue with it was that it only had a few cashews in it. When we asked if they has a small cup of cashews that we could dump into the curry the waiter said " I will ask them but I am not sure if we can or not" He came back and told us that they said "no we cannot do that" Very odd to deny a customer such a simple and small request.

The appetizers were seved on glass plates but the curry and rice came in to-go boxes and paper to-go cups. It just didn't give a nice sit down restaurant vibe. I was wondering why nobody was refilling our waters when I realized there was a vase of water on the table that had been there the entire time. I thought it was for flowers originally, until they informed me it was drinking water. Not too sure how long it was sitting there.

We let the staff know that we loved the curry but that the appetizers were very bland and didn't taste good at all, and they just said "I'm sorry about that" but didn't do anything about it.

I think this place has some good potential and can make some great food. They just need to iron out the edges first. I hope they improve so that I can go back again someday with a...

“Best Of Utah Valley”?? Try: Most Rude to Staff, Most Paranoid, Most Cheap, and Most Empty of Utah Valley.

The sticker on the front door of Thai Drift says “Best of Utah Valley: 2016”. They should take it down if they don’t believe they’re the best.

Upon entering Thai Drift you’ll be greeted by a woman yelling at the waiter to seat you. Well, she said “…please?” after yelling at him so she’s only a little rude. This was not a child. This was a store worker yelling at their employees. The most rude and offensive treatment of an employee to a high school worker I have ever witnessed.

The award for first sit-down restaurant on State Street to go ALL PLASTIC goes to… Thai Drift. I felt like I was at a 4th of July picnic. Did Covid cause a glass plate shortage too? Fastest way to loose customers and sell restaurant equipment on KSL: cut corners with your customers (and make sure you tell them about your All-Plastic policy by taping signs next to each table). Get out of the restaurant business if you treat your customers like a nuisance to your family life.

We were the only ones parked in the parking lot and only ones in the restaurant. So long Thai Drift. You’ll be bought out by Pier 1 Imports in less than 6 months. They’re always looking for sad, empty buildings to move into. At least you’ll equip them with enough security cameras - 6 to be exact. Two were pointed at us the entire meal.

It’s reassuring to know the customers at Thai Drift are also the enemy. Sit down, relax, and enjoy being filmed by creepy management watching every bite you take. They filmed one of their last customers....

I used to rave about this place. The flavors are good but I've noticed, sadly, the quality has gone downhill. I ordered the spring rolls today and they were the thinnest spring rolls I have ever seen(usually very well made)and I get then often from different location's as they're my favorite. The spring rolls had barely any veggies and the pork didn't taste like pork. Very disappointing. I have also experienced the curry being more watered down than in the past.

Since the new year they have switched to plastic plates and serve the food in to go boxes. I get that most people ask for to go boxes but isn't that part of any business practice? To have to go boxes for ppl who need them after they're done eating? My plastic plate kept moving around as I was trying to eat my curry because it didn't have that nice weight to it that the previous dinnerware had. Since the switch to plastic the experience is not there. It has changed the esthetic of the whole place in my opinion. On top of the downhill quality, I don't feel like going to a restaurant to eat on plastic for a lunch or dinner date. Unfortunately, my Thai experience will have to go elsewhere. With a family of six and regular date nights, that's a lot of money that will go elsewhere. Big...
