Editorial Review for L' Thai Organic Restaurant and Wine Bar – by Jennifer Soong
The Scene
Tucked away in a shopping center off Lawrenceville Highway, L'Thai attracts patrons to its soothing environment, complete with a small koi pond and waterfall. Decorated with peach-colored walls and lush greenery, there are two main rooms with elegant booths and Oriental seating. Elegantly garbed servers are polite and deliver steaming dishes swiftly from the kitchen.
The Food
Trumpeting itself as the "only organic Thai restaurant outside of Thailand," L'Thai focuses on fresh, organic ingredients including grass-fed beef. Health-conscious diners will appreciate the large selection of vegetarian dishes. The must-try starter is stuffed wings, delightful with seasoned chicken, minced onion and garlic. Entrees are generously portioned; the basil chicken is sauteed with crushed chili peppers and bell peppers in a fragrant sweet sauce. Curries are a house specialty; green curry, cooked in coconut milk with green beans and bamboo shoots, has a potent kick. Save room for homemade ice cream.

I've never considered critique a restaurant, but this one is exception. I live in San Francisco and have come to Atlanta for business meetings this week. After knowing that Friday night dinner is Thai food at L'Thai, and since I love Thai food and have visited Thailand several times, I couldn't help but to check out this place here at Citysearch. I was rather both excited and skeptical with all the great reviews, recognitions and awards this place received. We went last night, and the experience was exceptional. My Crab Rolls was superb, my Tom Kah soup was excellent, and my Roasted Duck Curry was incredible. Everyone else also seemed to thoroughly enjoy their meals. Besides their great ambiance, their fine food and service, they also have exceptional beer and wine selections I've ever seen in an Asian restaurant. In conclusion, this is the best Thai dinner experience, both in US and abroad. I wish their continue successes and hoping they consider opening one in SF.
Pros: Organic concept
Cons: Not in SF

Never thought of driving to Tucker for Thai food since there're several decent Thai restaurants nearby in Vining and Midtown already, but was invited to a friend's BD party this pass weekend. This place was in an old strip mall near Home Depot on the corner of Jimmy Carter and L'ville Hwy. Not a very good first impression regarding location, but when I went inside, it was totally unexpected. The ambience was relaxing with the sound of water fall and soft music. The menus and the beer and wine list were quite extensive and at very decent price. But best of all, the food was excellent. There were 8 of us altogether. My wife and I, and another couple eat meats, but my friend, her husband and the other couple were vegetarians. So after a few sips of gewurztraminer, we ordered some different vegetarian appetizers to share. All were exceptional. For salad, we all shared organic mixed green salad with oil-less peanut dressing. Quite nice and lighjt. For entree, I had the sea bass with ginger sauce which was probably the best I ever had. My wife loved her fried lobster tail with curry sauce. She said it was better than at Pano's & Paul's. I tasted it and it was superbindeed. Other couples seemed to also enjoy their meals as well. After the meal, the waiters brought my friend a complimentary dessert with candle and sang her a happy BD. It was custard made with tarot root. She let me taste it and it was also very good. For my wife and me, we shared a dessert called FBI, which was fried banana with cream cheese and mango ice cream. It was totally exquisite. Others also loved their desserts, especially one had flaming coconut ice cream. The whole evening was quite an experience with great food, great wine, and great companies. As we parted, I asked my friend how she found this place since she lived in Roswell. She said she was invited to a BD party as well, and had been coming back since. Well, my BD is coming up in three weeks, so I guess I'll be back sooner than I thought.
Pros: Food, Ambience, Beer & Wine List, Service
