Bai Thong Thai Cuisine

Delicious food and never a long wait. I went out on a Saturday and found all the restaurants on Hayes was full and had long waits so I went over a block to Fell and found this gem. I live a block away but never tried it. Was very pleased with my drunk man's noodle and masaman curry. Take out is pretty good here with decent proportions. Very nice service here as well.

Good food, decent prices. The Pirate Soup was very tasty with tender squid and prawns and other seafood. Large size is a good appetizer for two, but not big enough for a main dish for one. Panang Curry was very good, as was the Mango Trout. Trout was fried, which meant the few bones still in there were crispy and edible. Also meant, however, that the trout walk a bit overdone and dry. Big problem for me was that the trout arrived first, way ahead of the soup, and I had eaten both half already before the brown rice arrived. Service was ok

I liked this place quite a bit. Ate here 6 months ago and forgot about it - didn't remember until they started getting shafted by Yelp and good reviews not showing up (the story made it onto a few local and national newspapers this morning). I remember being impressed that the veggies were so fresh and the sauces so light - I hate heavy brown sauces on wilted veggies, something that is often a staple of Thai restaurants in the US. The fact that they used real Thai eggplants and loads of garlic and basil on everything made my mouth very happy.

Nice decor, fast service and no wait for a table. The thai tea is delicious and sweet. The pumpkin curry is tasty and a little bit spicy. The pad see ew is very good too. The side of rice comes in a heart shape-- very cute! This place feels like sitting in a Thai family's home with lots of authentic decor. Many people come here for takeout.
