L' Thai Restaurant and Wine Bar

I went here a year ago and the food was great, and then I went again recently and the food was just awful. it seems like something has changed. and the food is overpriced. if you want good thai, go to Spoon. more

Though the menu states the curries can be vegetarian, they are not. After numerous visits and questions, a staff member finally admitted they put fish sauce in the curries. So if you are vegetarian, avoid the curries. There are other dishes on the menu that are suitable for vegetarians and vegans, but not the curries. Pros: Organic Cons: curries not vegetarian, menu misleading about vegetarian options more

I'm not sure what some of these negative reviews are about. I doubt that L'Thai is making up their own reviews-- that's a little paranoid. I lived in Thailand for two years and have been looking for authentic Thai food in Atlanta to no avail until I ate at L'Thai. I thought the food was fantastic and as close to authentic Thai as I have found in Atlanta. It's expensive because it's organic and it's not Thai takeaway. You get what you pay for! I thought it was a little gem. My husband, who also lived in Thailand, felt similarly. more

I do admit, L'Thai is quite tasty, and with the location being tucked away in the outskirts of town, you do not expect it to be so packed. Unfortunately on the weekends the place is packed like any other typical Buckhead restaurant. The food is good but the prices are too high. The portions are decently big also. It is too dark inside the restaurant I almost have a hard time reading the menu! The waiters are limited, they should hire more people. I think the waiters are friendly, and I have never had a problem with poor service. Pros: food, location Cons: dark, limited service, too hectic with the limited # of waiters more

Hi, \r \r Customers be aware, I think this site is rating it's own resturant, thus- the 50 reviews. \r \r I wen't there because of the reviews, however I am not a repeat customer, I think that the meal prices are not accurate on this page- too pricey and needs more of an authentic flavor.\r \r I think it is good that they have plenty of vegetarian choices but I just don't see how this places get's it's 5 stars. You can try it, but do be aware of the ratings! Don't have too high expectations. Pros: More vegetarian options, water is friendly. Cons: Pricey, Overrated, Brown rice is not really brown rice. Organic choices are limited. more

Although I had only gone to Le Thai once before, and was pleasantly surprised with their food and service, I am prompted to discourage anyone from going to this restaurant on holidays such as MOTHER'S DAY! We (six adults and two one yr olds) had made reservations for lunch time and they seated us fifteen minutes after our reservation time. First off, it is not baby friendly... I had to change my baby's diaper on a chair (since they don't have changing stations in the bathroom) while we waited to be seated. To our dismay, once we were seated, they didn't have a highchair for my daughter. They only have TWO highchairs in the whole restaurant! In terms of customer service: no one came to ask what we wanted to drink, ten minutes later they brought the menus, and ten minutes later came to take our order, we sat for one and a half hours and our food hadn't arrived. My nephew and daughter were restless..and it was absolutey ridiculous that we were still sitting around waiting for lunch at three in the afternoon while our reservation was for 1 pm! We ended up getting it to go. I think they are short staffed, need to make special considerations with families with kids and do a better job at providing optimal service. There was absolutely no apologizing on behalf of our server and there was definitely lack of consideration on their part. It was my first mother's day and unfortunately, it wasn't enjoyable. My husband and I ended up eating in the car on our way home :( Pros: the pretty fresh orchids on the tables Cons: customer service, lack of highchairs/changing station more

This place makes the best Thai food (the Pad See-Ew is incredible). They are kind of on the outskirts of the city, so you don't have to worry about long waits on the weekends. It's a gem in the middle of a normal shopping center. \r \r Pros: Great food, no long lines, plenty of parking Cons: Not central to the city more

Last night, my wife and a group of ten friends took me out for my birthday dinner at L'Thai as they know I love Thai food. It was my first time there. Upon entering the restaurant, I was impressed with the decor, a big tree in the middle of the dining room, waterfall, a very peaceful ambience. The owner (I regret I forgot his name) immediately greeted us to the table-- talk about impeccable details with real orchids on the table!! And for the meal, it was MARVELOUS. Every bite was delicious?the Samui shrimp appetizer, the Tom Kha soup, and I didn't even expect the green salad to be that good. Having been to many Thai restaurants in the city, I have to say that L'Thai outdid them all with extensive food menu, wine list and beer list. The freshness of their organic ingredients and the dept of their curry flavors of Roasted Duck Curry had me not wanting to stop eating even though I wanted to save room for my birthday cake. We brought our own cake and for $10 cake fee, the server took care of the rest. However, they also brought me a complimentary homemade ice cream which was SOOOO GOOOD. End up everyone at the table ordered ice cream to have with their cake because they saw me enjoying it so much. It was, by far, the best birthday dinner I?ve had. Thank for L?Thai for making this such a wonderful birthday experience. See you soon!!! Pros: Food, Service, Ambience, Value, Parking Cons: Exterior, Location, but worth the drive. more

Despite the strip mall exterior, the decor inside was quites nice. The food was excellent, the service was prompt, and the pour on the glasses of wine we got was, well, wonderful!\r \r Do yourself a favor and check it out! Pros: Great food, nice pour on the wine Cons: Srtip mall exterior more

First, I would like to address the reviewer regarding: Worst Waiter Service ever. I was tooling around city search and wanted to see how L Thai was doing and came across this review. I and a coworker happened to be in the restaurant the day this event occurred and overheard the whole thing. The server did not at any time call him N or MF. I showed the review to my co-worker, we both laughed reading his review knowing what actually happened. Let?s just say that the guy lied. He should be ashamed that he left such a nasty review. Don?t take that reviewers comments to heart and keep you from going to L?Thai. It?s a wonderful, wonderful place with a very polite wait staff. \r I have been coming to L?thai since the first day the doors were opened. Hands down it?s my favorite restaurant. Being a regular I can tell you the owner and staff takes great pride in their service and quality of fresh organic produce and meats. It?s unlike most restaurants today because of the care that goes into each detail of their operation. You can always find the owner on the floor going around greeting the guest. He?s always enthusiastic when you ask him about the organics they use or his recommendations for a dish. Needless to say I love it and feel so fortunate to have a restaurant of such quality in my neighborhood. Hopefully more places like this will follow and kick out all the chain junk. Pros: Great all around more

I have always held that the best Thai cuisine in Atlanta was Surin of Thailand. Now, L?Thai has taken it to the next level. Fresh and organic is the theme, but the exquisite flavorful results make every bite special. For example, the Tod-Man appetizer served at most Thai restaurants is from pre-made frozen. L?Thai makes them fresh, which delivers a surprising fresh herb taste and just-right texture that makes them seem more like a treat than just an appetizer. The soft shell crab (best ever) that is available often is made lightly crispy and served with fresh vegetables and is available with a red curry or basil sauce (the curry is best in my opinion). Also they have a wide variety of wine (some organic too) and beers from around the world (some organic too). But that is not all. New menu items are constantly introduced whether traditional or derivative with the come theme of ?yummy?. All the high quality and exquisiteness is due to the pursuit of excellence by the owner and staff. L?Thai is a delightful and healthy pleasure that should be entertained as often as possible . Pros: Best Thai Food In Atlanta Cons: You may have to drive to Tucker to get there. more

Finding good Thai restaurants in Atlanta is often h it or miss. While Thai is a popular cuisine here, the number of bad or mediocre restaurants FAR outweighs the number of good examples. Of the dozens upon dozens I've been to, I can count on one hand the number of good ones. \r \r It is with great pleasure, then, that I can add another to the list. L'Thai is an excellent example of Thai food done right. While its location is a bit far for the average in-towner, it's well worth the excursion outside the perimeter. \r \r The ambiance is pleasant and decorative without being gaudy, and although the strip mall in which it's located is hardly indicative of fine cuisine, the restaurant itself is an absolute jewel. \r \r I had a sumptuous red curry, and my companions had duck, chicken, and fish. The duck was quite tasty, and although the chicken itself was a trifle on the bland side, the sauce with which it was flavoured was superb. \r \r Our waiter, Montri, was incredibly friendly and helpful, guiding us to lovely wines and offering his opinion on various dishes. Having seen Montri before at his own restaurant and prior to that at Tamarind before it closed, I was delightfully surprised and pleased. As always, he offered a consummate level of service and iced the perfect cake of an evening. \r \r Do yourself a favour and check out L'Thai. Pros: Excellent food, fantastic service Cons: A long distance from civilisation more

This is my first review, but I've eaten at many Thai restaurants before. When I eat in a restaurant, I go by a couple rules before eating; 1: service, 2: cleanliness, and 3: food. When I went to this restaurant, referred by a friend, I got more than I expected. The staff always greets and treats me politely. The atmosphere is very soothing with the tree and waterfall. Oh, don't forget to check out the goldfish at the waterfall. Even they are friendly, hahah. The restrooms were clean; enough said. Most of the time I don't like to express my opinion, but this time I guess it wouldn't hurt. Food-wise, is where I'm most impressed. Any of the noodle dishes is a winner, especially the Pad Thai. \r I wouldn't hesitate to refer this restaurant to more friends. I also have to commend the owner on this smart idea of combining Thai and organic foods. Pros: Soothing waterfalls, great food and staff Cons: - more

Waiters at this restaurant are the most uncouth I have ever met. On Thursday and Friday, the 21st of Dec I visited this restaurant with my fiancee. I left 3 dollars and some coins as tip on Thursday and left. On this day when I got to their restaurant their manager came to me in a very rude tone ""what do you want?"" that was his way of saying the usual ""how may I help you please"" I noted the disrespect but I politely responded to place my order as well as my fiancee?s. Note that, before then I had sat there almost 30minutes waiting for someone to come take my order.\r Afterwards I left one dollar as a tip. I really wasn?t going to leave any that day because of the poor service received.We stepped out of the restaurant into the parking lot... then here comes one of the waiters ""an older short man? with a very thick Asian accent yelling ""hey.. hey ..hey.. you only give one dollar tip, yesterday too you give only 3 dollar tip that is not enough! \r Am like what? Not enough! The audacity! You don?t walk up to anybody and tell them their tip wasn?t enough. First off I don?t HAVE to give a tip. And they should know a tip is a gift given if good and courteous service is received. You DONT demand a tip! And you DONT tell people their tip is not enough. You will not believe this waiter?s attitude in the parking lot. Very loudly, he started cursing at me... calling me ?MF? repeatedly and the N word. He came all the way up in my face and shaved the hand to beat me up. For what? That my tip wasn?t enough? It?s not even that I did not leave a tip. I did, he has come to beat me up, curse at me, and call me the N word because he claims my tip was not enough. This waiter claims I should not come back to their restaurant. I wonder what his owner will think about that. I will like whole world to know this. I don?t know what kind of standards they trying to build for themselves when their waiters go around attacking customers, threatening to beat me and calling blacks the N word.\r \r \r Pros: NONE-Thier owner doesnt respond to customer complaints Cons: The most horible customer service ever. Waiter demand tips and dictate how much tip they want. And fights customers that dont give them how much they want more

Craving some *really good* Thai, I thought I would give L'Thai a try. It's not a short drive from where I'm staying, but after checking their rating with the H.D. ratings - they got a good rating, I thought, ""Why not?"" So, I placed my order and picked it up about 20 minutes later. \r \r L'Thai is a mixed bag. I'm not into the whole 'organic' thing, and ordered four dishes. The 2 that stood out were the spring rolls (very good) and the Thai fried rice (good). What was NOT so good? The phad thai was a real disappointment. I have had *EXCELLENT* Thai food in Seattle and used to have a local 'hole in the wall' I used to go to regularly for some of the best Thai I've ever had. The phad thai didn't taste like it should. It was a congealed conglomeration that bore no resemblance at all to the true dish. I realize there are variants of this dish, but really - this isn't one of them. \r \r The other dish I tried was their 'tempura' shrimp. Unfortunately, they were greasy and very dough-like. True tempura is hard to do - Yamashiro in L.A. has the best I've ever had, bar none, and this was the quality of typical 'mall' tempura of the kind you get at the food court. It was edible, but nothing I'd ever go out of my way to get again. Also, the grease tasted off, as though it hadn't been changed in a while. A deep fryer should be changed regularly and consistently - all the time - to do its job. \r \r Also, the restaurant was almost EMPTY for a Tuesday night at dinner time. Good joints attract crowds all the time. Perhaps the kitchen was having an off night, but for what I got, I won't be going back again. My search for decent Thai in Norcross continues. You've been warned. Pros: Fried rice was O.K., spring rolls were also alright Cons: Phad Thai didn't bear any resemblance to the dish more

I dined at this restaurant for the first time today, with a friend, for lunch around 2:30 p.m. I had read so many glowing reviews and I love Thai cuisine so much that I drove well out of my way to dine at this restaurant.\r \r First, let me say that the staff is very pleasant and professional and that the spring rolls, Thai tea, and coconut chicken soup is delicious. For an entree, the waiter recommended the green curry over the panang curry and I went with his recommendation, which was a fantastic recommendation up until half way through my entree I spotted a long strand of some sort underneath a piece of the chicken. I proceeded to pull the strand, with my fork, and found multiple strands connected to a dead SOS (city search wont let me say the real word)!!!!!! The strands were the legs and antennas of the SOS, which was right there belly up, dipped in a very flavorful green curry sauce on my plate!!!\r \r I was so disgusted that I couldn't talk so I gestured for the server and handed him the plate. He instantly saw it, apologized very quietly, and asked if I would like it re-made for me! Re-make the exact same meal for me after a SOS was stir fried in my first meal????? I politely told him no so he then told me that my meal would be free, which was obvious.\r \r I am disgusted that his occurred and that I consumed anything associated with a SOS and I am also disappointed that the entire experience was not free! I have felt sick all day as a result and my lunch partner has been the same way. We should not have had to pay one single dime for this dining experience and should have been invited back free of charge but none of that took place or was offered. \r \r I am so upset and devastated that I plan to be report this incident to the Department of Health first thing Monday morning so if you plan to eat there, check your food closely because the last time I checked, dirty, disgusting SOS curry is not organic, healthy, nor offered on the menu. Cons: un-clean, xtra ingredients in meals that aren't supposed to be there more

I've eaten at some of the best Thai restaurants, San Francisco to NYC. Mom and Pop, to high-end white tablecloth. How in the world, I'm the last foodie in Atlanta, to have not eaten at L'Thai is beyond me. Last night, we made reservations. And I must say, those fresh organic flavors are still lingering. The menu is just wonderful. In fact, I made our waiter leave it for us to read and devour, even after we placed our order. I knew it was going to be something special. The menu reads like an elaborate Thai cookbook. But the Stuffed Wings w/chicken, onion, garlic, and served with sweet pepper sauce, blew us away. As did the Calamari Tempura with sweet pepper sauce and pineapple. The flavors, the right amount of heat. No Tom Yum, or Coconut Soup here, but the Crab and Seaweed Soup was light and clear, clearing our palates for the entrees. First entree was a Crispy Basil Boneless Duck with fresh ground pepper, basil leaves, and mixed bell pepper. Best duck entree ever! And we also split the Ginger Grouper, that was crispy fried with fresh organic ginger, scallions and mushrooms. Absolutely nothing was left on the serving platters. The fresh organic flavors, jumped out and spoke to us. Just the best Thai meal we've ever had. And the owner, Peter Kong, stopped by our talble to make sure everything was fine. It was not fine, it was excellent. Five Stars from us. Service and attention to detail, was beyond par. Pros: Amazing Organic Thai Menu! Service and Owner To Match! Cons: Wished I Could Eat Here Everyday! more
