Be prepared to wait for good food.

by ReviewerD

I LOVE the food here, I've tried several things on the menu and not a single thing has disappointed me. Unfortunately it's usually very busy and you can wait for more than an hour just to get a table. I wish they would expand!

• Pros: They have really great food.
• Cons: This place is almost always crowded.

Best authentic Thai in SLC.

by littlemiso

Honestly, I think it's funny when people say they have terrible service. These are usually the people who have no patience or any sense of what a family business is capable of with limited staff. They're busy, all the time; why? Because their food is AMAZING. They're not a corporate restaurant chain; give them a break!

I've never had a problem with service; sometimes things can be slow, but I expect that when I go in - they're usually crazy busy. They always make my meal as spicy as I want = hot, hot, hot. The food always tastes great. I love the people that work there. They know my face and exactly how I like my food.

It makes me hungry thinking about how amazing the food is.

• Pros: They can make my tastebuds burn!
• Cons: None, really...

Best Thai Food in Town

by Super Dave

This quaint little restaraunt has the best take-out anywhere in the County. So many of their dishes delight the palette, and they have a wide variety from noodle to rice to potatoe style entrees.

• Pros: Great Take-Out
• Cons: Terrible Service

It really is that good

by murraymale

Heard about it, went to it, and fell for it. Quaint, good selection, prices are modest,

servings are plenty, taste is great. I esp. loved the curry chicken, pad thai noodles,

and don't forget to order the banana and coconut ice cream desert.. yumm-0!

• Pros: Taste, selection, ambience, fair prices, location, helpful staff
• Cons: A little cramped, service can be preoccupied

I may regret reviewing this...it is seriously Salt Lake's best kept secret.

by vanw0297

The prices are average to slightly high for most dinner dishes. This, however, is more than made up for with the intense and rich flavoring of the meals. It may take a little effort to find because it is an old strip mall; but according to Freakonomics that makes for a great tasting restaurant (lower facility costs = better tasting food). I am seriously addicted to their Som Tum (I'm checking in to Papaya Salad Eaters Anonymous), Green Curry, and an authentic eggplant dish (I can't remember its name). I have eaten at every Thai restaraunt in the wasatch front except two and these are by far not only the best tasting, but most compliant in tailoring or personalizing dishes. You gotta try it...but don't tell too many people I like this "best kept secret".

• Pros: Food, taste, service etc.
• Cons: The restaraunt is quaint, not elaborately decorated.

LOVE IT!!!!!!!

by bularchingu

I've been to Thailand a few times and to Thai restaurants around the US and this place is the best Thai food I have ever had!!! Friendly service and delicious food. What more could you ask for? Oh yeah, the food isn't expensive either!!! Must go there to experience it...... Every time I go there I enjoy it more. Every time I take a new friend there they love it as well... On Valentines day I took my girlfriend (now wife) there for her first time and now she begs me to take her there every week!!! It definitely is addictive.... Check it out

• Pros: Delicious food, fun atmosphere, reasonable prices
• Cons: None

this is the real deal

by louzuhr

If you want real thai food, you need not look any further. This is the real deal, as hot as you can handle it, or americanized, like thai siam. sawadee

• Pros: real thai food
• Cons: location, seating is tight and limited, it's a family business

Best Thai food I have ever had (really)!

by genegreger

I had the pleasure of dining at Chanon Thai Cafe while I was visiting friends in Salt Lake. What really amazed me about the food was how authentic it was (where the heck do you get galangal root in SLC?). I've eaten Thai cuisine in many cities and several countries, and this was hands down the best. And as a plus, if you ask for it really spicy, that's the way they'll serve it to you.

Friendly people, good hours, amazing food. I hope you SLC folks realize how lucky you are! :-)

• Pros: Amazing food, great service, good for vegetarians
• Cons: That they haven't opened a branch in Albany, NY
