[...] We covered Tasty Thai back in May of 2009 and have been going back consistently ever since. It is now our to go choice for an affordable and enjoyable meal. The restaurant also recently received their liquor license too, allowing those fiery curries to be washed down with an ice cold beer. [...]

I’d love to try Lotus of Siam in Vegas, I have read endless praise about it as well.

As for back here in SLC Pho Green Papaya gets our thumbs up but Indochine routinely gets very mixed reviews from what I read.

I took your advice and gave Thai food one last full effort shot. We went to Lotus of Siam in Las Vegas (off the strip). Amazing! I highly recommend anyone who happens to be in the area (business or weekend trip) try it out. It is touted as, arguably, the best authentic Thai food in the country. The atmosphere does not live up to the food, but I find that a little charming. Best yet, the food is extremely affordable. So glad we continued our pursuit, I finally found my Thai stardom! We also visited Ichiza, a Japanese joint also off the strip (Spring Mountain Road). The food was incredible, the atmosphere simple but great (at one point we were the only diners of non-asian origin) and prices very reasonable. We will certainly visit these two again! Yum! Locally, we tried the vietnamese restaurant Pho Green Papaya and had a great meal. (Somewhat similar food anyway). I also have a neighbor that loves Thai food and recommends Indochine. Any thoughts?

P.S. Wen(dy?), I’m always game for Stu’s Thai feast! I always come with gifts, empty belly, open mind, and cheerful disposition!

aww, I’m jealous about Frontera Grill, and I’d love to try Topolobampo too. On the Thai subject, I’d like to throw Pawit’s Royal in Holladay into the conversation. While Thai Garden is good, something about Pawit’s pushes into the great category for us.

I personally wouldn’t go back to Chanon the way we got treated. Tasty Thai is our new favourite Thai spot, we’ve been back tons.

I’m jealous of your Chicago trip, I really want to try Rick Bayless’ food. I went to Alinea in Chicago a few years back, that was amazing.

Thanks Stu and Wen. We’ll give your suggestions a try. I love places that have poor service but serve good food, really! I saw there is a new thai place opening near 9th and 9th. Oh only could I be so lucky that it would be great (as its close to my house). Off to Chicago this weekend. Food plans are Frontera Grill (I’m becoming obsessed with great Mexican food), deep dish pizza at Burt’s Place, chicago dogs at Fat Johnnie’s, and Charlie Trotter’s anniversary dinner. One of the guest cooks for the Trotter dinner is the head chef of Arzak in Basque country, Spain. Not to brag or anything! Super exicited! Chow.

Hi Muncher, another option that everyone seems to be crazy about (just don’t expect any service, if you go in expecting the strangest most lackadaisical service ever, you will only find it slightly stranger than you expected)is Chanon Thai on 900 East and about 300 South. I really enjoyed my larb tofu from there too. I’ve heard lots of people swear it’s the best place in town. Maybe worth a try. Oh, don’t go on Saturday. They are closed on Saturday. Open every other day though. Good luck with your search for Thai food search. Stu makes a mean Thai basil chicken and his green and red curries are pretty darn awesome too. If all your restaurant options fail to pass muster, we may have to have you over for Stu’s Thai feast.

Hi Charles, I find the family that runs Tasty Thai very warm and friendly too, something that is frequently overlooked, but so important these days nevertheless. I have also decided they have the best tofu larb in town. I think I might just ask them if I can move in.

I just ate at Tasty Thai with my wife and daughter and I can say that this was one of the most pleasurable eating experiences I’ve had here in Utah. The food was excellent. We had spring rolls, chicken curry and some dish with flat noodles and tofu with vegetables. My 6 year old daughter is very, very picky but ate all of her vegetable spring rolls and fried won tons. That’s a minor miracle. The family that runs the place were very warm and friendly and took the time to explain the menu. I will say the food is extremely spicy. Really…use caution when ordering the spicier items. My hope is that once they gain a following they will upgrade the decor a bit but other than that this place is my new SLC favorite.
