Recently renovated for a more contemporary feel, the Thailand Restaurant offers a great taste of traditional Thailand food with a modern touch. Having been to many crappy looking restaurants around Chinatown, it was nice to see the new upgrade. The all glass window side brings in ambient lighting which warm the look of the inside. It was especially nice the day I went when the sun was out.

The owners and people who work here consistently make excellent food. Every single dish is well done. The wait staff is friendly and attentive. The ambiance may be somewhat lacking but the place is very clean and not at all unattractive. Prices are reasonable. It’s all about the quality of the food and the cooking. This place is great if you’re looking for a Thai food experience!
