Lai Thai - National City

The food at this restaurant is delicious and authentic, which is key. I highly recommend it. The staff is incredibly friendly and kind.

I loved eating and the atmosphere absolutely! the waitress was very sweet and patient with all my asking and the service was super fast! the items are family style (big enough portions to share and try several dishes! . they have some of the best I had in a long time, and there are so many other options, out. I have tried the panang curry with chicken, the crispy duck with crispy nuds and sweeten and their sampler. everything was very delicious. they can choose the height of the warmth they want as well as the is a great bonus! do not fit the thai milk tee simply skrumbling and definitiw on the point! only on the bottom I would like to point out (and it is not really a reflection about it is the parking can be somehow crazy. the restaurant is located in a very busy shopping center. Now, it is worth it!

This Thai restaurant is a favorite among families. The service is always excellent. We recently celebrated a birthday here and everything was wonderful. The friendly staff quickly accommodated our party of 15. I tried the garnelen tom kha gai soup, which was delicious with plenty of shrimp and mushrooms. The falling ersatz ribs were tender and flavorful, a definite crowd pleaser. The fried pineapple was also a hit. I highly recommend everything on the menu.

I really liked the food, really tasty. I think that it is quite overpriced, though. I got the spicy noodles which was a $13 for a very small plate, so if you're quite hungry or thinking of sharing, you might want to buy an extra dish. The staff wasn't friendly at all, they felt a bit rude or cold... It might be because of their culture, though, but having a restaurant requires you to have great customer service skills, which I didn't experience here. The ladies here talk to you from far away to take your order and to tell you the total of your bill. I didn't feel comfortable or welcome here. By the way, there's no dining-in right now.

I came here for lunch and ordered their panang curry lunch special. The small bowl of soup that was served first was cold and bland. The panang curry was pretty flavorful, but erred a bit on the sweet side. I chose a 5/10 spice level, which is usually my standard at any Thai place, but there was no heat at all. I also found a piece of hair in my curry, and the portion was small. It looks larger in the photo, but the dish that held the curry was extremely shallow. I ended up ordering their fried banana with coconut ice cream for dessert because I didn't feel full. The dessert was the best part about my meal- the bananas were nicely fried and the coconut ice cream was smooth and yummy. My server charged me a dollar extra for the dessert than what was advertised in the menu, but she gladly adjusted the price after I pointed it out.
