Barn Thai Restaurant

I like that place quite a bit. The food is good and spicy, although I limit myself to medium, in regards to spiciness level (could go hotter but then I'd have to deal with the heartburn). The waitress, who could be the owner, is super nice and always smiling. It's best to get there early for lunch because it gets packed quickly, compounding the fact that the place is small. If you get there at 12, you will probably have to wait 10-15min to get your dish. It's not a problem but something to be aware of.

Very unassuming storefront, I just about walked in to Metro City Sports Bar & Grill by mistake and my co-worker had to steer me over to the Barn Thai entrance. Fairly plain interior, our server was so nice and laughed at our corny and barely funny jokes. Only 2 of us on Tuesday nite, seated immediately, only one other couple at the time. We ordered the Crispy Thai fried wings, the roasted duck curry and the shrimp & fish curry, with hot jasmine tea. Barely a 10 min wait and we were served. The aroma of the dishes was so intoxicating (maybe the fact that we're famished made it better 😉). Wings came first so we attacked them - they were crispy outside, very hot to the touch and only a hint of spiciness. I think it could have used more spiciness/heat, but they were tasty not overcooked and 6 wings for the 2 of us guys seemed not enough. However with the rest of the dinner, it really was just right. We shared the duck and fish/shrimp curries. The duck curry was very sweet (a little too sweet for my taste) and I think that overpowered the curry flavor. It was very good, savory but just too sweet. The duck had nice roasted taste, although I think it was just a bit overcooked, it wasn't tough, just slightly overcooked. I would order it again and request for less sugar and more curry (cuz I like the flavor). My coworker said he liked it just fine.🙂 He must have more of a sweet tooth than me. The fish & shrimp curry had more of a curry flavor, the shrimp looked 👌 really good, but I couldn't eat it 😫 due to my gout. The fish was a non descript white fish (maybe some type of cod) and definitely NOT overcooked and very tasty. I thought the sauce was too salty, probably could cut it by 50% for my taste (then again, my diet has less salt and any dish my wife and I do not prepare ourselves is a little too salty for me). Great dinner, terrific companion and fun and friendly service - we will go back.

The food was just okay. I had the Devil Wings and also ordered a Green Curry. The curry was delicious but the Devil Wings were not so good. They were drowned in batter and the batter was very hard. The meat itself was good, but it would have been better if they were not immersed into Sweet Chili Sauce. That ruined the flavor. Other than that, the service was also okay. Nothing to scream "wow" though.

Barn Thai is my all-time favorite Thai place!! Sandy, the woman who runs it, is the sweetest person I’ve ever met. She’s so wholesome and makes the entire experience so lovely! Their food is sooo delicious! I try a new dish every time I go there and it’s always really special. I would 100% recommend to anybody looking for delicious Thai food and a wholesome experience.
