Had a great lunch!

by ki5477

I like to eat fairly healthy stuff and I love ethnic food (it's like traveling without getting on a plane), and this place was great on both counts. I got the yellow curry with chicken, with an order of mixed vegetables and white rice, and it was a perfect meal. Flavorful -- the seasonings were ON POINT! -- and the portions were fine. Asian food means ordering a bunch of dishes and sharing them among your dining companions, right? I thought the place was yummy. And yes, the inside is a lot nicer than you would think from looking at the outside. A little treasure.

  • Pros: Some Thai places add too much sugar -- this was perfect!

Absolutely amazing!

by ASGopt

I got a pamphlet for this restaurant in the mail. Normally I don't check out restaurants based on fliers but I was craving Thai food so I decided to go there. Took a while to find, and seeing the outer appearance made me not want to go in.

When I went in, I was surprised. The restaurant is beautiful. I ordered a few appetizers and the pineapple shrimp rice. I have never eaten Thai food so perfectly made. And their service is crazy. I don't think my glass of iced tea ever got to halfway before it was refilled.

I would recommend the wontons and the chicken satay. Definetly a must visit!

  • Pros: Great food, service, appearance
  • Cons: Not a great area, sometimes hard to find parking

Best Thai in town

Contributor

I had seen this place over and over and never really had the desire to stop and eat there. The location is odd, the surrounding stores are old, but man oh man I had been missing out. Don't judge a book by it's cover really applies. The d??cor inside is beautiful, warm, and inviting. The food is delicious and a great price. My husband didn't like Thai food and he took me there one day just to satisfy my craving for Thai food. He loves there food!! He can't say he doesn't like Thai food anymore. The house special fried rice is the best! The rib eye Satay always juicy and tender. Everything made fresh to order. The service is great, always nice and polite. Their orange and lime drinking water is refreshing. This place is great! If you live in town or nearby, you should make a stop and try it."

Great customer service

by jjbart

Tthe thai food is great. It is soo authentic, that you feel like you are eating in Thailand! The atmosphere is really nice, and I like their background music. However, there customer service is a little bit foreign to me. The waitreess are too friendly. I am not use to this service, and it makes me feel obligated to tip them well. But otherwise this resteraunt is great.

  • Pros: Great food, and great ambience
  • Cons: Too friendly service by the waitresses

THE BEST PLACE TO GO!

by crazymandi143

I have been ordering from this place since it opened, and never have I been dissaointed! The food is always delicious, and the service is fantastic! I finally got to visit the restaurant for the first time two weeks ago, and was so impressed with how beautiful it was inside! I love how the staff remembers its regulars, even if we always order delivery!! I have tried almost every dish- each one is my favorite! I have recommended Narai Thai to so many friends and family members and even they agree! This is the new D-Town Hot Spot!! Ps- Try their Signature Drinks.. expecially their Sangria!

  • Pros: EVERY DISH IS AMAZING!
  • Cons: NONE
