    I really enjoyed the food! I ordered on DoorDash because I haven't had a chance to get to the itself! I love the Thai and soul food blend. I had the fried salmon with yellow curry and white rice. The food was so delicious and packed with flavors and spices that are magical! I had never had a dish like this or fried salmon and the flavor was spectacular on all ends! I would have given a 5 stars but the operations could be bigger for the high price point! I highly recommend trying the food! I plan to go back and experience the food in the establishment itself!

    First time visit for a friend birthday. Was very excited to try this fusion restaurant. We opted for sharing dishes so we could all try a little bit of each entrée Shipping and grits: there were only three shrimp but I like the flavor just wish there were more shrimp. Dirty rice: I love dirty rice like from the south usually made with sausage so having it with ground beef, add a different flavor not better or worse just different. Okra: the fried okra was a very small portion with three of us to share. Garlic, green beans with tofu: this was a tasty side dish and there was definitely enough to share. Sticky mango rice: this was the dessert that we shared. I was full, but I still wanted to try it because I love sticky mango rice. I have never had it with the purple rice so that was a little different had more of a earthy flavor to it. The service was excellent. Our server was very pleasant. The ambience of the restaurant was very bright, colorful and definitely set the tone for a nice sitdown dinner with some friends. $$ :Overall it was a good experience. It is a little on the pricey end. I realize that eating out is a little bit more expensive these days however, some of the portions didn't seem to really reconcile the cost. Will definitely return with some friends and enjoy this truly unique diverse menu.

    Finally got around to checking out Blai for dinner. The weather was nice so we went with the patio, which was a great call. Smooth grooves playing outside, chill vibe all around, and the waiter was quick. When I saw tofu gumbo on the menu I was genuinely excited. That's not something you come across often since most places that serve gumbo don't bother offering a vegetarian version. It came out quickly and it was delicious, all the right spices, no complaints. Blai is a solid spot and I'm looking forward to going back and trying more of the menu.

    We were greeted and seated immediately asked if we wanted water and handed menus. The staff is very friendly and patient . We ordered and within a few minutes were being served . The place is small but comfortable, I love the decor and they play great upbeat music . The place sits in a parking lot that gives 2 hour parking with validation otherwise you might pay $9 for parking. The food is a mix of Asian and soul food and the flavors are delicious we ordered the fried okra , egg rolls , combination rice , lobster garlic noodles and shrimp and grits . I will definitely be back to try more of the menu .

    I discovered Blai by accident while browsing a few neighboring restaurants. First thing's first, Blai is inside a private area that has paid parking BUT it's free with validation - huge plus! Parking is plentiful, too. Blai specializes in blending soul and Thai food, and I was in the mood for Thai, so I had their Khao Soi. Their fried crispy noodle on top was tasty, and all the ingredients were great, too. The broth was a very sweet curry, and it was just perfect at mild. The noodles were not the texture that I was expecting, but the dish itself was still tasty. Overall, Blai sports a comfortable atmosphere with wooden benches and light cushions to sit on. Alternatively, regular tables are available. On future visits, I'm going to need to try their fusion items; gumbo and grits but Thai-influenced too? Yes, sign me up!

    Mango sticky rice
    Jenn H.

    First time here so tried a little bit of everything. Okra $9.95. Seasoned batter was good. Okra pieces were super small. Maybe it's not in season? I would have loved a sriracha aioli instead of a sweet chili sauce. Something creamy. Green Curry Grits $27.00 - green curry served on the side. Thank goodness we did this because the green curry was HOT . Grits were super creamy and plenty of cheese. The shrimp were big but only 3 shrimp were served. Worked out because there were 3 of us but I would have liked more shrimp. Pad Thai w/chicken $16.95 It was okay. Not the best pad thai. Seemed a little dry. Not enough bean sprouts or peanuts. Dirty rice $8 - this was my favorite dish. I've never had authentic dirty rice from the south so it tasted good to me and the way I've had it in SoCal. My friend who lived in the south said she's not used to ground beef. She's always had it with sausage. Jasmine rice $3.00 Came out at the very end. I forgot we even ordered steamed rice. It would have been better in the beginning. Garlic green beans w/tofu $16.50 - They were very crisp. A little dry. Usually you can see the oil they were fried in. Maybe because we told the server that 1 person does NOT like heat. Thai iced tea $6.50 each. Mango sticky rice $12.95. I was sooooo full, uncomfortably full. But the one bite I had was good. It was a purple rice which was very unusual. I did like the coconut syrup because it was super light and flavorful without it being super heavy like the normal condensed milk. Andrew was super sweet and made the meal enjoyable. Very friendly and didn't make us feel bad with all our requests. We needed a full size plate instead of the tiny plate to share our meal family style. We needed more serving spoons instead of a small fork to serve. I needed a large glass of ice because the green curry had me sweating. The restaurant had some nice prints on the wall of elephants. I liked their lighted sign. Chairs were uncomfortable metal chairs. Maybe would go back to try other dishes. The service definitely would be the main reason to come back.

    We came here to celebrate a family member's birthday and had such a wonderful experience. Our party was pretty large (15 people!) and they were incredibly accommodating, which made the whole evening feel easy and enjoyable. The Thai iced tea was especially memorable, and I loved that they served the ice in the authentic metal cups you'd typically see in Thailand such a unique touch! Every dish came out hot, fresh, and absolutely delicious. The flavors were incredible and the portions were just right. Even the picky kids in our group were able to find something they loved, which says a lot. Our main server, Dylan, was fantastic very attentive, friendly, and on top of everything for such a big group. I also had the chance to speak with the owner, Donerick, and mentioned that the only thing that might make things even easier would be having reservations available on the website. He shared that they're already working on it with their vendor, which was great to hear. He was super sweet and came to our tables to make sure that we were all enjoying our food and making sure we were comfortable and happy. Our entire family had a great time and truly enjoyed the food and atmosphere. We'll definitely be back! Especially with that playlist that just had us dancing the whole time.

    I'm given this place 4.5/ 5. Hospitality was good 5/5 Parking can be a challenge and limited since it is inside corporate office industry and shared with other vendors but it can be validated. Food was good 4/5 for all. It was good serving. Seasoned well and cooked to order. The place cramp up as their space was small but accommodating. Overall it was a good experience

    Blai Gumbo and Thai Tea
    Diana S.

    I kept seeing this place all over social media, so I decided to try it for lunch on DoorDash. It was my first time having Thai tea, and it was so good! I really loved it. My dad is from Louisiana, so I've had a lot of gumbo in my life. This gumbo was a fun mix of two different styles of food. It tasted good, but I think the cherry tomatoes could be left out. Next time, I want to go in person and eat there to get the full experience. There are so many other items I can't wait to try. Keep shining and bringing new flavors to the valley!

    Noodles. I already had eaten into it.

    I was in the mood for Thai food and my cousin referred me to this restaurant. At first, I was skeptical about the fusion of Thai and Soul food, but let me tell you the food had great flavor; the food is very fresh. The portions are average size, however; I got full and even took some left overs home. The price is decent. The service is good.

    Pad See You
    Adriana G.

    Delicious food, cute dining vibes, and good service! I've been craving Thai food and it definitely hit the spot! The pad see ew was so tasty! I got mild but would probably get medium spice next time. The egg rolls were also so fresh and crunchy with a tangy sweet sauce. Definitely coming back!

    Garlic Chili Edamame 5/5
    Reta B.

    Found this place randomly after wanting to go to boiling crab near by and the wait was 2 hours Anyways we decided to come here and it's in a campus plaza so you need to validate the ticket It was four of us and we got two appetizers and 4 dinner plates. Service was good. They have a robot that brings you water which was cool. They have lots of stuff to offer but in my opinion I think they are pricy for their portions 2/4 meals were great. Appetizers were good as well. Pad Thai was medium spice and it was really good. Pad see eww was also medium spice and it was good. You can actually taste the flavor and it was good The chicken gyoza and garlic edamame were good. Def would get the edamame again! Now the Panang curry and fried rice I was not a big fan of. I make Panang at home and usually it's thicker and that wasn't the case here. My husband and I love Thai food so Panang is one of our go to dishes but we didn't feel like the consistency nor the flavor fit for panang curry. The rice portion was really small! So got an extra one! As far as the fried rice, it came with jalapeño's which is fine because it's spicy fried rice but asked without onions and it came w onions so they remade it! Taste wasn't great for me! Again, I believe that portions were really small for the price they charge.

    An Instagram reel sent me here; a unique concept of southern soul food with Thai food. We had the crispy okra, which came with the sweet chili sauce and was delicious. We also got the cornbread which was super hot, buttery and sweet and I've never had cornbread like this before. We also ordered the chicken pad see ew and blai gumbo. We ordered the medium spice for the gumbo and it was spicy! Everything was flavorful and the staff were all accommodating and nice! I loved reading about their conception story in the menu, mixing their love for southern food and Thai cuisine

When we were ready to close out, I asked the waiter as he was clearing some things on our table, if he could bring some to-go boxes when he had a moment for things we didn't finish so we could take them home. He had a butter knife in his hands and threw it onto the table. Rough day I guess. I personally would not come here myself, but continue to do so for my wife. Will update my review when I visit again. Until next time. . .

It gives you options for crispy, spicy crispy, mixed, and grilled. I clearly checked crispy. What arrived? Spicy crispy. How did I know? Because one bite and I, who don't do spicy, had my mouth lit on fire. Now, this was a late-night order, but so what? If the people there cannot see a clearly marked crispy, not spicy crispy, not mixed, and not grilled, then they should try to look more carefully. I had to toss the food and get a refund from DoorDash. Out of fairness, I will give it another try, although the bad reviews here leave me worried, and I'm happy to amend this too spicy review. This should have been a crispy review and it would have been had it not been spicy. Get my drift?
