We frequently order the papaya salad, crab fried rice, pad see ew, and of course, the pad thai, accompanied by a Thai tea. The papaya salad is wonderfully flavorful, featuring green beans, cherry tomatoes, and peanuts—it’s a very refreshing dish. The pad see ew is also quite good, with a distinct wok hei flavor. My fiancé loves the crab fried rice, which is packed with crab meat. The Thai tea tends to be on the sweeter side; I always forget to ask for it less sweet. We tried the chicken wings once but weren't impressed, so I’d advise skipping those. The coconut soup is delicious, rich in flavor and seafood. We’ve also tasted the spicy basil beef, which was just average. The mango sticky rice is delightful as well, and we order it whenever we have room for dessert. The service here is consistently good, with staff checking on us, refilling our water, and clearing our dishes. Although there isn’t a parking lot, there are metered parking options available, or you can find free parking on nearby residential streets. We will definitely be returning.

However, the chicken wings were somewhat dry and lacked flavor. Overall, I would definitely recommend this place!

The food was delicious with the perfect amount of spice. We were the only dine-in customers between 7 and 8 PM on a Wednesday night, although there were several DoorDash pickups. So come on down and enjoy dining in!

The food was fantastic, and we asked for a very spicy dish—which they delivered perfectly! The heat was intense but well-balanced, complementing the fresh, flavorful ingredients beautifully. Everything looked great and tasted even better. Thank you, A La Carte Thai Bistro! We will definitely be ordering from you again.
