Thai First is an amazing restaurant with kind service, and the food is delicious! I just had a basil fried rice with shrimp and it was amazing! The shrimp is very good! Some places use a lower quality shrimp from what I’ve seen but the shrimp here is phenomenal! Especially in the fried rice, that dish was so good. I also had a pad thai with beef, easily one of my favorite dishes I’ve ever had. I highly recommend this restaurant. Prices are decent and the service was wonderful. 10/10! :)Vegetarian options: The menu allows people to order tofu or mixed veggies with their meal, which is very nice!

$4 extra for 4 shrimp? That is extortion! I will not be back. Do not patronize this business! If you are going to have a $4 surcharge for shrimp charging $1 a shrimp is a rip off and unprofessional. They also do not devine their shrimp which means you actually eat shrimp poop when you order their shrimp.

Im sorry I was really hoping this place was gonna be great but it highly disappointed me, I ordered the pad thai, pad se ew, and the pot stickers and both of the noodle entrees were really dry and the potstickers were 6/10. I have had thai cuisine multiple times before and it was my first time checking this place out, it just wasn't worth the money to be honest. ☹️

Tasty, but VERY expensive. $20 for our entrees. If their prices were more reasonable, they would actually have customers. As it was, we were the only people in there. It ended up as expensive a meal as at Cooper's Hawk, which is a pretty pricey joint with great service, atmosphere wine club etc.

Priced-right lunchtime menu. I had the Chicken Pad Thai, which was sauced with just the right amount. The sauce was savory and not too sweet. I added some chili paste for a kick. The ginger chicken soup was delicious, as was the homemade pot stickers. The dipping sauce was a liberal amount, though.

The food is delicious and the sweet/sour sauce was absolutely the best I've had. It's not too sweet and the chicken is not fried. Wonderful.Wheelchair accessibility: There is a good ramp and that makes it more available.
