Thai Palace Restaurant

Thai food is our favorite! We’re visiting from Arizona for our 11th anniversary & wanted to try this place out, despite the negative reviews (one of which we experienced during our dining experience). It’s pretty pricey for portion sizes, but maybe that’s just Montana. The service was excellent as there were two male servers who kept checking on us. We ordered vegetable fried rice & spring rolls (not pictured as it was brought late) & pad Thai with veggies and tofu. Spice levels are from 1-5 and we usually order #3. Ended up ordering a level 2 as we were told 3 is hot. Unfortunately, I didn’t taste any spice in either dish. Wish I would have gone with a 3 like I first requested. The pad Thai was very bland. Fried rice had a nice flavorful sauce. After asking for 2 extra plates so we could share food, my husband found a long black hair (2nd photo) in the food. One of the servers quickly took it back & the dish was remade but I had lost my appetite after seeing that. Every time we go out of state or out of the country, we go to a local Thai restaurant if one is available. Here, there just not enough flavor in the dishes we ordered. I feel I’m being generous by giving them 2 stars, and it’s really only because of the service. I would have never come here again, even if we didn’t find a hair in our food.

Friendly Thai servers, family owned restaurant. The menu is fairly large for a small restaurant. I ordered Pad Keep Mao with a 5 spicy (1-5 is the range). This dish was average compared to other Thai restaurants, the spicy level was more like a 5 on a scale of 1-10. Now, the Sum Tum was exceptional. The balance of sweet, sour, and spicy was very well done. portions were good.
