Delicious pad Thai and spring rolls. Owner/cook was very friendly. It's a clean atmosphere with nice decor.

Id been going to Ban Thai for many years for the fresh cooked food, flavorful and full of delicious flavor, but the last few times have been an utter disappointment and Im not ordering from there again. I think the pandemic just killed this place. The food was heavy, greasy (and that old greasy taste, if you know what I mean). My noodle dish had a mass of gummy noodles in the center, very little vegetable and hardly any flavor. The fried rice used to be my favorite dish but I had to throw it out as it was so greasy that it gave me a stomachache. I loathe the use of styrofoam for takeout, as the plastic scent permeates the food. Worst of all is the customer service; short tempered, dismissive to the point of rude, trite responses to questions its all so disappointing for what was once a great, family owned and welcoming place to eat. One star is generous for how far this place has fallen.

First time ordering from Ban Thai Restaurant. We did take-out and took them about 30-40 mins to get our food ready. Customer service - my husband went in to order and he felt the service was not the greatest, but it is what it is. I am always searching for the best drunken noodles or better known as Pad Kee Mao. When I saw that Ban Thai make Pad Kee Mao, I had to give them a try. So far its good. The flavor is different from others that Ive had. Their seasonings is their own. But I enjoyed it. The noodles were soft, just how I like them. The only downfall is their pork was a little bit on the drier side. I rate it 4/5 stars. Wouldnt mind ordering it again tho. Their Bangkok Spring Rolls were okay. I order it with pork. Maybe next time Ill do their shrimp instead. The sauce was okay too. I had to make my own for me to enjoy it more. They really fill it up with veggies and herbs. I love that it was packed with veggies haha. I rate it 3/5. Beef fried rice was bomb!! My husband thought it had too much black pepper, but once I mixed up the fried rice, you can barely taste just the black pepper. I love that they cut up the beef in thick slices. Its soft and flavorful. Not too salty. Its perfect. I rate it 5/5. The cream cheese wonton was not a hit for my little family. My kids love cream cheese wonton, but this wasnt it for them. It had a good amount of cream cheese filling. But the wrap was more on the soggy soft side. Usually the cream cheese wontons are crunchy. But if you like your wraps soft then maybe this is for you. I rate it 2/5 Chicken wings were also not a big hit for us. Its your typical basic oven baked seasoned with salt n black pepper chicken wings. I mean thats what I tasted when I took a bite of it. I wanted more flavor to it. Overall, I wouldnt mind giving this place a second chance. Maybe dine in next time and try their pad thai, pho, and curry selections.
