Amazing food, every time. I ordered three entrées, three appetizers and one dessert last night. Every item was delicious. This is the safest bet for a vegetarian or vegan. They are very conscious about dietary restrictions. Almost every other Thai restaurant in the metro area will tell you different things every time you ask for a dish with no fish, shrimp or oyster sauce. One time I would be told that it was free of those ingredients and the next time another employee would tell me that it wasn’t vegetarian. Or if you have other places make something that they can assure is vegetarian or vegan, it has a bland flavor. Highly recommend this restaurant!Dietary restrictions: The best Asian vegan and vegetarian menu in west MI.

Ever since the new owners took over the food has been mediocre. 2 times ago the veggies in my curry were raw and not even cooked, and the last time I ordered food and it was burnt.

I ordered some veggie Tom Kha to go. Order was filled immediately. The place looked inviting. The soup was fantastic!! The best I have ever had. Seemed pretty pricy however. $11.50 for maybe 2 cups of soup. Keep in mind this was a veggie Tom Kha. Maybe that is normal for Grand Rapids MI, but pretty sure I can get it cheaper or with shrimp in Milwaukee.

Loved my Thai food here. So excellent. I normally like red curry American hot and was advised that was about a 5. I could have done a 6 or 7.

The place in GR for great Thai. Typical strip restaurant feel but whether dine in or take out the food is great. Service for either is exactly the same… great!

I've always ordered the same Curry dish there for years and it's always wonderful, but this time I thought I would try something different. Bad decision lol. Ordered garlic chicken medium spice and it was dry and flavorless and full of carrots. If you order garlic you should taste garlic! Back to my old standby, curry...

The food was good and really nothing exciting but still not bad. I would for sure give them a second try next time I am in Town.

Very kind and quick service here. Got the green curry and vegetable steamed dumplings. It was delicious and lasted me for several meals. The restaurant was extremely clean. Seems like a popular place for takeout as there were lots of people coming in to pick up orders.

I love this place, the people that own it and I love the food. Best Gang Pa! But one of the best things in they are now open all day Saturday and Sunday! Try to find Thai food on a Sunday in the GR area. A lot of the Thai restaurants are closed.Vegetarian options: You create it if you wantDietary restrictions: They can adjust any dishParking: Right in front of Lai Thai never a problem

Everything had a lot of sugar in it, that may be well for some people, but was not for me. Was my first time there, probably my last, for that exact reason. When I say Everything, I mean everything I ordered, had tons of sugar in it, I know a lot of times sauces are based on sugar and vinegar, but this was over the top. I had the green curry, wife had a noodle dish (sorry can't remember her order) but both were too sweet.

Some of the best Pad See Ew I have had in all the land. Service was fast and friendly. Prices are fair and the location convenient. Soups are also really good. Location is on the smaller side size wise. Booths are also small but functional. This was a really nice find on my recent trip to Grand Rapids. Will definitely go back on my next trip. It’s only been one day and I am already craving the taste.
