You could get a whole fish for the same price at any other Thai takeout restaurant. The sauce was old and tasted like it had been reheated in a microwave. After a few tries to eat it, I gave up and threw away almost everything.

We shared two main dishes and a pad Thai - the Chicken Teriyaki and the Bhan Thai crispy duck. Every bite was incredibly delicious and we cleaned our plates. The service was friendly and attentive. I will definitely be coming back again.

The fried squid was crispy and beautifully presented. The weeping tiger sizzling beef steak was cooked perfectly medium. I also recommend the soups, pad Thai, and the authentically spiced green curry. We didn't have dessert, but it looked tempting. It's best to make a reservation in advance for the weekend, as they are open most, if not all, days.

I picked it as it was a midway location for the two of us, so mindful that the location made it an ideal place to eat I would have been happy it the food had just been average, but it turned out to be the best Thai meal I've ever had!!! The restaurant itself is a casual setting (cafe style) but the food is absolutely superb! The staff were fabulous too, so friendly yet extremely professional and welcoming. I am already planning my next visit to Bhan Thai and can't wait to introduce more friends to the place
