Incredible food, great prices, and amazing service. This place is an underrated gem. The interior is a little outdated, but the food is clearly priority number one. It is packed with the perfect balance of sweet, savory, and spicy flavors. I took my mom and we loved the pad see ew, coconut curry, and the almond beef entrée. The owner took our order, got the food out incredibly fast, and was so warm and welcoming when we chatted with him. Portions are generous enough to satisfy a big…

I had a fantastic and peaceful experience! The server and, I think, the owner/cook were extremely friendly. My coworkers and I had dinner there, and it was a great experience. The service was outstanding, and the food was delightful! We didn't manage to take any pictures, but the Stay chicken, Fried squid, Pad Thai, Panang curry, and shrimp fried rice were all tasty! I highly recommend trying out this restaurant :).

I was extremely pleased with my experience with Tasty Thai. I had a big catering order and they were helpful. Called the night before to make the order and they helped stay on budget and get the most options. The order was ready on time and they helped with loading the food in my car. They food was well received by the group! They also had plates napkins and cutlery ready for me. Very pleased will definitely be back.

Tiny little restaurant tucked in the side of the shopping complex. Very accommodating, was a bit dark inside. The food was delicious. A good variety of Curry sauces/flavors. I ordered yellow curry with potatoes and carrots and steak and it was amazing. My son ordered the Panang curry and that was delicious as well. Portions are large enough that we always bring some home with us.
