Thanks to Urbanspoon (and iMaps Siri) we found this unassuming gem.<br/ <br/ We were welcomed by aromas of galangal, lemongrass and chilies and because we were in a hurry we chose to graze the buffet. The kitchen kept the food fresh and hot, and there was enough variety to keep things interesting.<br/ <br/ Of note: Thai hot and sour soup; sweet glazed pork tenderloin stir fry; pork in yellow curry; chicken with hot chilies and veg stir fry; and, very good special fried rice with sweet liver sausage and egg.<br/ <br/ The Laotian owner (Kam) is attentive and welcoming. We'll be back, and will order from the menu next time.<br/ <br/ Highly recommended.

Best customer service in town by far. Family owned and run. Slightly over priced but best bang for your buck. read more Best customer service in town by far. Family owned and run. Slightly over priced but best bang for your buck.

My family of four has been to Thailand and Vietnam many times and the food was very authentic and delicious! The server was the sweetest man and if we ever come back to this town we will definitely be going back for more! Highly recommended! We had the yellow curry with chicken, pad Thai, panang curry (was the best) and vermicelli noodle bowl. Yum!

After reading reviews on Yelp, we came across Wasana Thai and we were not disappointed. This small, family-owned restaurant offered exceptional food and service. My wife enjoyed the vegetarian Pad Thai while I tried the Shrimp Pad Thai, both of which were generously portioned and delicious. If you find yourself in Brooks, be sure to visit Wasana Thai.

From basic Pho to coconut based curry, most of their dishes taste fresh and light and they make them as spicy as you want.
