Overall 3.5 stars
We ordered pad kee mao and khao soi. Every other pad kee mao I have had, it’s always more spicy than I can handle but I love the kick it usually here but here it was not at all spicy. The khao soi was better and had a slight spicy kick to it but I had higher expectations of the place since it has such great reviews from others.

This was the BEST food !!! I had the panang curry two times in one week because it was that good. Our server Anui was so kind and attentive. I highly recommend this place to everyone. It also has a nice relaxing atmosphere and was very clean.

One of the best Thai restaurants I have ever consumed food at. If I could I would give it 100/5 stars. The food is immaculate!!! Atmosphere is super cool. Lovely decorations for the Christmas time! Not to mention…the service!!!! Wow!!! Aun and Pui took amazing care of my family and I. If I could, I would eat here every night!!!! Can’t wait to be back soon!!

This place is cute. Came here with my friend we noticed the cute ambiance from outside and decided to give it a try. We waited a good 10 min before we got a waitress to come over. But once we got service it was super fast. Food was good and tasty tho my friend said there could have been bigger beef portions, and they forgot the tofu on my plate. The drinks didn’t have a lot of alcohol but still yummy.

What a find. I came on a recommendation by a friend. We made a reservation for 3 at 8pm. They seated us immediately in a corner with a good deal of space. The ambiance was so classy and made you feel warm. The service was just the icing on the cake- they were funny and friendly, made sure we consistently had water, got us wet napkins for the wings, and gave my husband free ice cream for his birthday. Such a special experience. Food review below.
Appetizers: Golden Bags (A MUST HAVE), Murder Wings. Review: The Murder Wings had good flavor but the Golden Bags easily stole the show. So fresh and crispy and full of flavor.
Mains: Gra-Prao Fried Rice with Chicken, Pa-Nang Curry with Chicken and a side of Jasmine Rice. Review: Both were just incredible and not too spicy. The fried rice was devoured instantly.

My experience at Ben Thai Restaurant was a culinary voyage through Thailand, and it left my taste buds singing with delight! The Khao Soi dishes from Northern Thailand were a true standout – rich, flavorful, and the squeeze of lime elevated the experience to another level. The Larb White Fish, representing the bold flavors of Northeast Thailand, had a kick of fish sauce that might catch you off guard initially, but after a thorough mix, it unfolded into a burst of deliciousness. Ben Thai Restaurant is a must-visit for those seeking an authentic and diverse Thai culinary experience. The harmony of flavors in each dish is delivering an exceptional dining experience.

This place was solid! The wings were good and I love that they serve them saucy and crispy (A hard combo). I knew the wings were good when I seen white people licking their fingers! The pad se ew was solid and very familiar if that makes sense. The waiter was fun and made us feel prioritized and cared for.
They will always get a mandatory visit from me. The atmosphere was basic and I actually liked it that way because obviously they care more about your tastebuds.
