    Crispy Duck
    Eljay C.

    I came here after work and tried their crispy duck. I didn't think it was that great. Deep fried w/ sweet n' sour sauce and a little dry. If you're paying $23 for duck I would have expected something better like it being roasted and a bit more tender. Overall, it was a good experience.

    I want to thank Yelp for helping us find this restaurant. We were craving Thai food and Sushi so my Mr. looked up a couple in the EastGate area and found this. The ratings and menu were very impressive that we had to check it out. So glad we did. Everything from beginning to end was perfect! We dined in on a Friday night. They were steady and had a lot of take out on orders. We were seated and waited on right away. They have everything on this menu. Sushi, appetizers, salads, entrees, bento box, lunch specials, full bar however no specialty drinks. They only serve hot sake not cold. We ordered: Drinks: Pinot Grigio Singha Appetizer: Thai Rolls Dinner: Crispy pad Thai (add tofu) Philadelphia roll Salmon avocado roll The Thai rolls came out first and following the sushi. Both were delicious and paired well with our drinks. We wanted to split the crispy pad Thai. I haven't had one in years. The spice level, medium. It was so good! Not Americanize (sweet) and great flavor. We didn't get to finish the paid Thai because they gave us a lot. So we took the rest home. The restaurant is very clean and open. Very welcoming. The service was great! Attentive and friendly. I cant wait to come back and try something different. I would say they are on my top three for Thai restaurants in the Cincy area.

    Thai rolls

    My lady and I were heading to Eastgate and wanted to get some sushi, so I looked here on Yelp for a good spot, and happened upon this place with some great reviews. Glad I found it because the place was excellent and easy to find. Plus we had more than just the sushi. We stopped by on a Friday night for dinner. The place itself is very nicely decorated and actually reminded me of my time in Thailand many years ago. Can't say that of many Thai restaurants. Their menu is a nice combination of Thai and Japanese cuisine so I'd say they have something virtually anyone can enjoy. They also have a full bar and a good list of libations, but I was a little disappointed by the lack of sake (they only had one hot sake option). All the staff were super friendly and worked as a team. We started out with an order of Thai rolls, a glass of pinot grigio for my lady, and a Singha for me (one of my favorite Thai beers). The rolls came out pretty fast and were very tasty. They were even good without the sweet and sour sauce. After that, we ordered two sushi rolls (one Philadelphia roll and one salmon avocado roll) and an order of crispy pad Thai with tofu (medium spicy). Again, we didn't wait long at all, and everything was delicious. The sushi tasted very fresh and the pad Thai had a nice spicy kick. We both definitely enjoyed the experience and are already planning on going back. I really want to try their rad nar, which is one of my all-time favorite Thai noodle dishes. So maybe I'll try that next time and introduce my lady to what I consider the perfect Thai comfort food. I have a feeling theirs will be good.

    Crispy Duck, pad Thai and Thai Roll

    So much better than I thought I would be. Crispy duck is a must order. Pad Thai is good everywhere and the rolls are really good also. They were really quick. Ordered on the spot and it took about 12min. Place looks nice inside as well. Would order from again.

    We have been coming here for a while now. Each time has been a good experience. Good atmosphere and service, and the food is consistently excellent. Can't miss with the crispy pad thai.

    Curry

    We came here because I was craving Thai food from our move. It was nearby and it looks like it had really good ratings. When we got there I was surprised how fancy the restaurant looked inside lol, I was not expecting that. Anywho the staff was really attentive and our food came out super quick. We ordered the wonton cream cheese crab rangoon and that was pretty good. It came out within like a couple of minutes of ordering and it came out hot. Pretty tasty. My husband and mother-in-law ordered Curry and they both really liked it. My husband really liked his because the sweet potato was something different and he really enjoyed it. My mother-in-law, it was her first time eating Thai food and Thai curry - she really enjoyed it. Her only feedback would be that she would want her veggies to be cooked a bit more and less crunchy, otherwise it was good. I ordered their pad Thai and it was pretty good but what I didn't like was that the noodles were really short. I'm used to long rice noodles so this was kind of new to me. Other than that the flavors were good, I wish it was spicier though because I ordered a level spicy and I didn't really taste any spicy at all. Anywho... nice gem in the Eastgate area if you're looking for some good Thai food.

    This is not based on the food "yet." This little cup full of ice of Thai tea is $4. It was bland and watery because y'all filled it up with nothing but Ice. Coming from San Diego and LA. I'm having a hard time finding a good Thai spot out here. Extremely disappointed.

    Pad Thai with Chicken: Thai Spicy

    The Pad Thai is superb! The best I've ever had, once a local favorite for me, now is a destination! Service here is impeccable! And Ban Thai has a pleasant atmosphere for lunch that becomes romantic as the sun fades!

    It was an interesting experience, from trying to make reservations to actually find hidden this…read moregem of a restaurant . My husband set an alarm for 5:58am to get ready to go to the site and try to get reservations for 7pm Saturday night. However, in the couple of seconds it took him to figure out how the reservation site worked, all 8 spots for the 7pm time slot were taken. 5pm was not our preference so he got lucky to get 2 spots at 9pm. Yay. All the sashimi was very tasty and super fresh. The range of flavors varied from creamy tuna taste to some fishy sardines. My favorite, a fish I never tried before, is Jackass - very delicious. Btw it was our first Omakase experience ever, and we look forward to trying more of these places in the future. With only 8 spots per seating, I really enjoyed the intimate ambiance, of talking with the chief and hearing him explain each dish.

    I've never been to Japan...but I came here with my wife who has been and she felt this was the best…read moresushi she's had outside of Japan; which is quite a testament for a landlocked midwest city! They are reservation only and it can be a challenge to get a reservation, so make sure you check their Instagram to figure out when they become available. We came here for a dinner reservation. For the vibes, they have 8 seats and sell out basically every single reservation. There were 2 people making the sushi and they were both super friendly and made great conversation. Each bite was carefully crafted and came with a thorough explanation of the individual parts and how they fit together. I don't think my words will do enough to explain each bite, but check out the pictures if you are interested. They have a few beers, cocktails, sake, and whiskey if you are interested in a drink to go with your meal. Overall, worth a visit for an excellent omakase experience!
