Very good option for Thai food midtown. The spring rolls were amazing. The fried rice was good, but not the best we have ever tasted. Service was very quick.

After a hiatus of four years, I made my grand return to Little Thai Kitchen, a culinary oasis that still shines brightly amidst the chaos of the world. Nestled snugly in its new, expansive abode, the restaurant has expanded its horizons, quite literally, while retaining its impeccable standards of service and cuisine.Stepping into the revamped space, I was immediately struck by the warmth of the atmosphere and the inviting layout. It's as if the restaurant whispered, "Welcome home," as I took my seat. With the Central Synagogue as a neighbor, this eatery undoubtedly holds its own as a must-visit destination.Now, let's talk about the food. Oh, the food! Little Thai Kitchen continues to be a haven for lovers of Thai cuisine. From perfectly cooked prawns to tantalizing shrimp pad Thai and sumptuous Thai chicken curry, every dish is a symphony of flavors dancing on my taste buds.And let's not forget the desserts. The coconut ice cream, chocolate custard, and mango sticky rice are like a culinary love letter, each bite leaving me swooning in gastronomic delight.But what truly sets this place apart is its libations. Whether it's the delicious wine that complements the meal or the refreshing Thai iced tea, ice tea, or chocolate frappe, every sip adds an extra layer of bliss to the dining experience.What's more, the convenience of food delivery only adds to the allure of Little Thai Kitchen. Whether you dine in or opt for a cozy night at home, the flavors remain just as impeccable, thanks to the dedication of the kitchen staff.Speaking of staff, the team at Little Thai Kitchen deserves a standing ovation. Their patience and dedication to providing top-notch service are commendable, elevating the dining experience from great to extraordinary.And while some may argue that prices are average, I say they're a steal for the quality and quantity of food and service you receive.In conclusion, if you haven't yet experienced the magic of Little Thai Kitchen, what are you waiting for? Treat yourself to an unforgettable culinary journey, where every bite is a passport to paradise. As for me, I'll be back again and again, for this is more than just a restaurant—it's a culinary sanctuary where dreams come true and taste buds rejoice.

Upgraded location of an old takeout spot - interior is gorgeous and they've also expanded to an upstairs which includes a tea parlor I have yet to check out. It's intimate downstairs, not so many tables so it feels quite cozy. The food is always pretty good - a 9/10. Ignore negative reviews of the usual folks who think Asian food is too spicy or want dishes made with totally different ingredients. Ridiculous, eye roll. I am partial to the roti and noodle dishes here, but the curries are also good. Service is friendly and everything comes out relatively quick, so a good place for lunch or dinner that won't take hours.

Pad Thai was weirdly sweet. Not ordering from them again.

Thai tea was perfect, the drunken noodles were soft, flavorful, and delicious. The service was a little slow, and the restaurant was freezing with the cold outside. Food was great and a great price, I'd recommend.

Good Thai food. For the French fortunately there are photos to help and signage for the pepper level ???. No regrets about going there (completely by chance)

Ive came here a couple of times now and i can confidently say I Love everything here, i always get the papaya salad and its just amazing never disappoints. Ive tried the volcano chicken, pineapple duck curry, taiwanese pork rice bowl, and a few other dishes and they are consistent with their quality. I haven’t had a bad meal yet, my sister and i love this place and will keep coming often.

Pleasant staff and clean restaurant. I had Massaman curry with beef. Although beef sliced thinly it was very tough and inedible- visible grizzle. The massaman curry was very good and I ate that with the rice. FYI on the weekend dinner prices only even if you eat at lunchtime. I missed that information.

Decent Thai place that's good for a quick bite. They had lots of options on the menu and prices were affordable, but don't expect to be blown away.I got the basil tofu & mushrooms and it was exactly as the menu promised. Portion size was reasonable and the food came quickly.
