Great Food!

by LoveFood

I always try to eat here every time I get a chance. I came here last tuesday. Even though the food was great, but the service was slow. They only have one server working that day. She was running around trying to serve other tables, therefore there was a delay to get service at our table. I'm guessing economy is bad, that's why they cut employees off and only have one server work that day? But she did an ecstatic job when we finally got our food order and service was on a roll. I hope the next time we come again, service will be faster because that was unusual.

• Pros: food, service, place
• Cons: need more employees in the front

One of the best Thai places in Atlanta

by apache6131

Whenever I have to do some work in Tucker, this is the place I go for lunch. The Prik Khing is amazing and the curries are all very good as well. The prices for lunch are great and service is good as well.

The only thing odd about the place is the location, in a small strip mall on Lawrenceville Hwy. I think they'd get more business if they were located somewhere inside the perimeter, not in the mostly industrial area where they are located.

• Pros: Very good food, low prices
• Cons: Location seems a bit odd for a place with food this good

Wonderful Experience

by BrittanyFlint

I came for lunch today and I enjoyed it so much! The food was great, and the service was wonderful. They have a beautiful tree in the middle. Everything looks clean and neat. I absolutely love the ladies uniform, they all match and looks very feminine. But I wonder why this restaurant don't have uniform for the men? He only wore an orange t-shirt. I recommend you guys do the same for the men, so they can look professional too! Overall, I had a fantastic experience. I recommend this place to everyone if you haven't been, you're missing out!

Excellent Thai

by Joyolife

After having been hearing so much about this place, I finally had to give it a try since my friend, Meg and I were in the area. She couldn't beleive this was my first time to L'thai since she knew I'm addicted to Thai food and eat Thai at least twice a week. This place was so very cozy with low lightings, soothing music and sound of the waterfall, and the food was truely superb. The coconut soup I had was the best I've ever had, the Panang curry was also out of this world, I got to taste Meg's Pad Thai (they called it old fashioned way) and it was awesome, and best of all, we shared a dessert called FBI, fried banana with mango ice cream. This alone would have me drive from midtown every week. I have eaten at just about every street corners that have Thai Restaurants. This is by far one of the best in Atlanta. PS I also ordered the Pad Thai to go for my husband, Gary. He took one bite and said "Holy food, let's go there tomorrow!". We give this one a 5 stars!

• Pros: Clean and fresh tasting in every bites
• Cons: none

Great food, filthy environment!

by foodisheroin

It's been a couple months since I took another visit to L'thai. The food was delicious as can be, but I did not enjoy sitting at the booth last time, nor did I like to sit at the table this time. The booth is very uncomfortable, and I learned my lesson the last time to dine in it. So, I went for the table this time, but while enjoying my food, a drop of water fell on my head. I thought it was just me, but it happened constantly and I soon found out that they have leaking ceiling! Not only that, but the place where we ate was so dark, it seems like they were out of electricity? Also, later we order togo and they pack our food in an aluminum container? How can you call it togo if I have to use my own bowl later to microwave it? The food is not even secure, my curry spilt everywhere and it seems like the box was smaller than before! I will never order togo at l'thai again. Maybe not to dine either. It was a bad experience, even tho the food and service are good but it's not worth the trouble with the bad environment.

• Pros: food, service
• Cons: environment

Sorry for your unpleasant experience with our dim lighting, firm booth and waterdrops from AC condensation. But to say that it's filthy may be a unfair choice of word. Regarding our to go aluminium containers which 4-5 times more expensive than foam boxes, it's our intention to use only recycling products that detered the use of microwave ovens, especially with our food. We work very hard to prepare our food in such a way that preserved all enzymes and nutrients of organic ingredients. Nuking it kills it inside out. It has been proven that using plain water and water that had been microwaved to water two separate plants in the same controled enviroment, the one with microwaved water didn't do as well and grew only 60% of the other in 3 months, and eventually died!!!

Fabulous experience!

by brittaspen

My friends and I decided to try out this relatively new restaurant in the West Village in Smyrna for a little change of pace, and we were pleasantly surprised! The spring rolls were fabulous and our entrees were top notch as well. The staff was super courteous and helpful. Highly recommended!

• Pros: Great food, nice selection!

Unpleasant, Dusty, Not Totally Organic as Advertised

by apple5000

Bad service. Seems like only 10% of the food on the menu is "organic" (if that)? Seems like they use a lot of non-natural flavorings in the food- hard to tell but at the very least a lot of salt is used. Some food is not prepared on premises like the so called fresh "seaweed salad". Dusty fake plastic plants make most of the decor. Hideous large plastic tree in the center of the restaurant; a faux "tree of life" so to speak. Old uncomfortable and cheap furniture and chairs. Bathroom not very clean, I can only imagine what the kitchen looks like. Overpriced. Significantly. If you want true organic, clean, healthy food you should go to somewhere you can trust like Whole Foods Market or Five Seasons in Alpharetta is very good and doesn't try to pretend to be something it clearly is not. Go eat at L'Thai, if you are brave or like being fooled.

• Pros: None I can Think Of
• Cons: Food and Cleanliness

"Seems like" you have other intention beside being a contribution. I wonder, based on your outspoken nature in this review, when you have a "bad service", would you say nothing to no one, then come home and write a bad review? I also wonder how often do you eat at L'Thai to know that only 10% is organic? Do you know the difference? Our regular customers especially ones with health conditions and special diets know. We're home to many who have hard time eating elsewhere. If you're in doubt, come in to our kitchen. With few exceptions, we use USDA Certified Organic products to assure our integrity and to protect our liability. "Seems like" you've NEVER been to our restaurant because we've NEVER served "seaweed salad". Most of our plants are real except those behide the waterfall and the big tree, and they're dust free. Our bathrooms are always cleaned and our food are pure and consistent because our regulars are keeping us afloat in this economy. Be loving, be well and be peace.

Awesome new location in West Village

by hotelechopappa

Last night a group of us tried L' Thai for the first time but, we went to the new location in West Village. I highly reccommend you pay this place a visit! The food was fantastic! I had the drunken noodles with steak & spring rolls and, it was sooooo good. The service was good! Like Thai food and you live in Smyrna? Do yourself a favor and swing by!

• Pros: Fantastic Food!

Wonderful Valentine's Dinner

by PatPada

After hearing so much about L'Thai, my husband and I went there for the 1st time last night for our Valentine's dinner. We got there early around 5:30 pm to beat the crowd and almost didn't get seated because we didn't have a reservation. They were booked for special 5-course menu at $39.95 per person, which after seeing what they had to offer, it was reasonable. For appetizers, I had Vegan Rolls which was superb, and my husband had Blanketed Shrimp which he said was very good. Then we both had coconut soup which was also very good. For salad, both Green Papaya salad with bay shrimp and Grapefruit & Berries salad were light and excellent. And for entrees, the Sea Bass with 3-flavor sauce was the best fish dish we've ever had, and the Angus Filet Mignon with curry sauce were absolutely out of this world. By the time we get to dessert we were so full, but whatever they bought us (called TLC) was very good and got finished. The service staff was also very courtious and professional eventhough they were jam packed with a line at the door by the time we left. We had such a wonderful time last night. We will be back often and wil recommend L'Thai to everyone.

• Pros: Food, Service and Ambience
• Cons: Shopping Strip
