Thai House — Restaurant in Tooele

In the interest of full disclosure, I currently work at Thai House, but I have been a regular customer for years.

That said, I feel I have experienced this restaurant from a variety of different perspectives -- I hope to give a fair, well-rounded review of what you can expect at Thai House.

I lived all over Thailand for two years while serving as an LDS missionary. At one point I lived about an hour away from the province from where the chefs are from. My wife is native Thai, and we regularly cook together. It is my humble opinion that you would be hard pressed to find another white guy who knows as much about Thai food/culture.

I have been to many Thai restaurants in Utah. Some are better than others, and each seem to have their specialty. The food is usually good, but rarely is it quite the same as what I ate in Thailand. Many restaurants add extra sugar and tone down the flavor, which damages any claims to authenticity. Some ingredients are hard to come by in Utah.

Thai House is the exception. The dishes at Thai House are among the most authentic I've eaten in the United States. They go out of their way to stay true to the traditional Thai recipes and are passionate about offering quality customer service. The chefs are cheery and very eager to share their culture with you!

I invite you to come by sometime! Excite your curiosity and embark on a culinary adventure! You won't be...

I have eaten there twice now. The first time wasn't much different than this second visit. I wanted to give them the benefit of a doubt so I went back. I will never be eating there again. I've eaten in a plethora of Thai restaurants and this is one of the bottom totems on the pole. I ordered my food to go so I could have a night at home. They said it would be 30 to 35 min; I finally got my food an hour and a half later. They sent me home with food I didn't order. I didn't realize I was at a fast food restaurant and needed to check my bag before I left. I ordered three full entrees, white rice, and dessert. The portions were so small I had to make more food. I will admit the food was very good, but their service is poor, it takes forever to get your food, and the portions are really small especially for the price. This meal was $45. Luckily I didn't have to leave a tip because it was take out. The first time I went it was the same. :( I have to say, I'm really disappointed. I'm forced to drive to Salt Lake for Thai food...

Edit: just tried 2. Here’s my conclusion of their spice levels. (I hate to be THAT white personal who can’t handle spice. Ugh.) 0- tastes like nothing 1- boring but not bad 2- fire and brimstone. 3- Actual hell. 4- Satan himself. I will never try 4 but considering I’m fighting for my Life and doing positive self talk to get me through the pain imma say I’m right. Still love their food. But I’ll be sticking with level 1 for the rest of ever. Send prayers as I power through this level 2 meal. There’s really no difference between 2 and 3.

Their spice meter needs better explanation because 0 and 1 are totally bland and kinda a weird flavor so I skipped to level 3 and now I feel like I’ve just made out with fire and brimstone. My husband said my lips are swelling. Granted I’m a spice pansy but I like some zing…this ain’t no zing it’s like I took a bite out of the surface of the sun. BUT I am hopeful I shall enjoy level 2 when I recover enough to...
