Thai Taste West Chester (new management) — Restaurant in West Chester Township

Delicious & Delightful

We Non-Christmas celebrants are always grateful to restaurants that are open during the festivities. We've had busts, mehs and triumphs with Thai Taste definitely leaning toward triumph.

We're foodies in our family and soy sauce runs through our veins. Sushi has always been our food of choice for celebrations, mourning and everything in between. I have sushi as the top 1/2 of my sleeve tattoo. Yes, we're THAT dedicated!

This Christmas my mother, my son, a teenager (aka bottomless pit) and I attempted to go to a place that offers decent choices but, more importantly, great economy. The teen inhales sushi, so it need not be fancy. Closed. We went to Thai Taste for a late lunch and were the only customers at the time. We read the menus as there were items with which we were unfamiliar and some favorite flavors creatively reinvented.

The teenager mentioned above is on the Autism Spectrum and self-limits what he will/won't consume. Pizza, burgers, pasta, soup and cereal? NO. Squid & octopus? Yes, please! And may I get one to go for later? He tried 3-5 new things and made yummy, sated noises. Usually he talks non-stop, so you KNOW this was special!

Decor is a little sad and not all lighting worked. At this price point I would think and hope that could invest some back into the ambience.

By the time we received our platter of sushi choices the place was PACKED! So glad 2:00ish on Christmas was blessed by the gods and goddesses of sushi!

Food is 5 stars, dining room 4....

Ahoy, fellow food adventurer! 🍜

So, I set sail to Thai Taste on a quest for the ultimate pad Thai, and boy, was it an expedition! Now, with more Thai restaurants in town than I have fingers and toes, you've got to sparkle like a disco ball at a '70s party. Thai Taste? Well, they might be more like a shy glow stick.

The pad Thai, matey, was just okay, like a pirate who's forgotten where they buried the treasure. It didn't make me want to do a happy dance, but it also didn't make me walk the plank. It was somewhere in the culinary doldrums.

Now, I don't want to be a Debbie Downer of the Seven Seas, but when you're surrounded by Thai food titans, you've got to summon your inner flavor buccaneer and sail into uncharted waters. Thai Taste, you're a good sailor, but you're not swashbuckling with the best.

In summary, Thai Taste won't make you sing "Yo-ho-ho!" from the mountaintops, but it won't make you cry "Davy Jones' locker" either. It's a safe harbor for a decent meal, but I'll be setting sail for new gastronomic horizons soon. Arrr, adventure...

Currently eating Thai Taste's take out, and unfortunately I am not impressed. I consider myself a connoisseur of red curry (or any Thai curries for that matter), and so sad that this one was sub par. The veggies were mush, and you would think that the curry sauce itself was made from water, not coconut milk. I love that they include SO many veggies in their curry (green beans, bamboo, zucchini, peppers, etc), but it's not executed the way it should have been. I did order a side of wanton soup, and it was ok. I really love the addition of cilantro, but based on the texture, the wantons have probably been sitting in broth for a while. And no, I was not late to pick up my food, I was actually there early. I will say that the interaction I had with the worker was very pleasant. Probably won't be going back, good proportions but...
