Second time coming here and it was better than the first. We had the sausages fried chicken papaya salad gowlow duck salad and drunken noodles. They were all pretty good. But do not get the Ladna here because it’s not done correctly. It was very watery the last time I got it.
My family and I love the staff, service and the delicious food. My daughter and I tried something new today. We had the chicken satay before and thought to try the Tofu Satay. We were not disappointed. It had a light honey curry brushed on it and a nice dipping sauce on the side.
The BEST pad Thai and Thai tea! Their egg rolls are delicious as well. Love this place. Get level 5 if you like spicy foods. Thank you!
Absolutely delicious! Some of the best Thai food I’ve ever had. Great vegetarian selection and if you like it spicy this is the place for you! Just order a spice level 5 + chili oil and I guarantee you’ll feel the burn. A lot of places lack when it comes to the heat but the chili oil here is next level. Great pad Thai, great everything.
AMAZING. I'm from Washington state and stopped by while in town visiting family. The food blew me away, everything I ordered was superb and I did not order a single dish that I didn't like. I felt like I was eating Thai food in Seattle. This restaurant has mastered fried food to make it light and crispy without being too greasy. They also really know how to balance flavors. All menu items are highly customizable and there are plenty of filling and unique vegan options. They also have a QR code you can scan to pull up their website and see pictures of the dishes. Each dish on the website also lists modification options and prices of add-ons so it can be helpful to look at before you order (I personally thought it was more helpful than the printed menu). The staff were also extremely welcoming and helpful when answering questions. Service was provided with a smile, I didn't get the feeling like I was inconveniencing the staff. I even got complimented by the waitress for knowing my way around a Thai menu :D I would highly recommend ordering: - Vegan pho (the broth was light but flavorful, not watered down; make sure to order with tofu AND veggies since the tofu-only option does not come with carrots, broccoli, and mushroom). And anyone who is vegan knows how hard it is to get veggie pho that also does not use bone broth so take advantage of this option. - Drunken noodles (noodles were soft, fresh, and bouncy; brown sauce was savory and super spicy, they use both thai chili oil AND fresh jalapeños for both the noodles and pho so be mindful of spice levels when ordering!) - Fried oyster mushrooms (reminded me of my ones my mom makes!) - Salt and pepper tofu (strong flavor without tasting overly salty, LOVED the charred onion and bell peppers in the dish, fabulous crunch, sauce went well with the dish too and jasmine rice on the side was a bonus!) - Mango sticky rice (THE BEST I HAVE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE, pandan-infused rice paired really well with the other flavors and sticky rice had great chewy texture; mango was so fresh, soft, and juicy despite being out of season; toasted coconut on top added crunch and depth to flavor profile) - Thai tea (not overly sweet; could tell the tea was brewed (as it should be) and not from a mix; many milk options from almond, coconut, and regular/dairy milk) I will definitely come back here again before I leave town and I have saved this restaurant to my favorites to revisit in the future. I hope to one day try everything on this menu. Thank you for the satisfying meal and hospitality.
Went to lucky thai with a large group (8) on a Saturday evening. We were seated quickly and served our drinks. First off, the pad Thai (with chicken, spice level 4) was phenomenal, one of the best in town. Everything else though was honestly mediocre. The red curry (with chicken, spice level 4) was way too sweet, with barely any chicken. The portion was small compared to other places in town too. Also personal preference but it had a lot of Thai eggplant which I don’t love. The spice level was very inconsistent, a friend got a 3 in his Thai veggies that tasted like a 5 and he couldn’t finish, and my curry at a 4 was barely spicy. Service was slow and everyone’s dish came out at very different times. This place could make some improvements but I do recommend the pad Thai!
Visit #12 - delicious food and friendly staff. Love this place. Sooo good. Such nice people. I have now been here twice in 2 days and and can see why it's called Lucky Thai. Because I feel lucky to have found it. The 1st day they were very busy but I could tell they make their food to order so even though it took a little longer I was excited to have fresh well prepared food. It did not disappoint when it arrived. Well worth the wait. I had the fried dumplings which were very well made very flavourful and had a simple and very tasty dipping sauce. I also had the chicken red curry, the fried sausage, and the chicken drunken noodles. It was awesome. Both the staff and kitchen who delivered food were very kind and you could tell that customer service and the quality of their food is important to them. All across-the-board excellent in every way. In only 2 visits I can tell you I'm already a regular.
