This is the most authentic, flavorful, cozy food in town. The Chanon family have created the best Thai food ever!

Such a nice place on 9th. The staff are so friendly and super attentive. I got the massaman curry with tofu, with brown rice and their tom yum soup. The curry was a bit sweet for my liking, but the portion was good, and the potatoes and onions were cooked perfectly. Not soggy at all! The tom yum soup had so much flavor and had a good amount of tofu added. I also the curry puff appetizer and those were my favorite! Perfectly flakey with a side of sweet chili sauce. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. Parking can get tricky especially during lunch time. read more

Chanon Thai Café, a family runed restaurant opened for 20 years, and it has always been my most favorite Thai restaurant in Utah. All of the dishes are freshly made per order, the taste is rich and flavorful, bit just right, portion is planty, you can't go wrong with anything you order. The place is small cozy and is always packed, and the owners are kind and welcoming. It is definitely a place to try if you like Thai food. read more

Located in a busy area, parking isn't the easiest. It is a small store front with limited seating. We went on a Friday evening and it was bustling for sure on take out orders. However we weren't too impressed with the food quality or the service. The waitress seemed rushed unable to give us recommendations. We got the T2 duck curry and 38 spicy pork; the food seemed priced high for what it was and the duck was extremely fatty. Not sure we would come back again as we have some other preferred Thai places in the SLC area that are better priced and better quality. read more

I love the people working at Chanon - they are so kind and helpful. When I went they also had some free donated bouquets of flowers for everyone to take home - I took some pink roses and it was so nice. I love Thai food for its balance of salty, sour, spicy, and sweet flavors. However, everything I tried at Chanon was too sweet for my taste. I went with a big group of people so got to try at least 5 different dishes. Nothing really stood out to me as exceptional. I do appreciate some menu items (duck, crab, etc.) that are more unique compare to its peers. I do think there are better Thai restaurants in the valley that have more refined flavors and focus on fresh ingredients. read more

If you're craving delicious mom-and-pop Thai food, Chanon Thai is the place to go. Their family-run restaurant is a true gem in Salt Lake, serving exquisite dishes made with both imported and local ingredients. This spot has become an institution, and it's easy to see why--the food is simply outstanding! Some of my personal favorites include their golden calamari, num tok, tom kha, yellow curry, pad gra prow, and the unforgettable fried bananas with homemade coconut ice cream. Each dish is crafted with care and bursts with flavor, making every visit a treat. What makes Chanon Thai even more special is the way they put their own creative flare on traditional Thai cuisine, incorporating seasonal ingredients that keep the menu fresh and exciting. Beyond the food, they are deeply committed to the community. From small acts of kindness to larger initiatives, their generosity shines. Don't be surprised if you walk in and see a box of items available for guests to take home. It's a beautiful reflection of how much they care, not just about their customers but about the community at large. Chanon Thai is more than a restaurant; it's a place built on love, flavor, and giving. I truly hope they thrive forever. read more

Green curry was absolutely phenomenal! Tofu was perfectly cooked in a medley of veggie goodness and served with fluffy brown rice. Quaint and welcoming, the staff were kind patient and very knowledgeable! Their lunch specials are a rare gem A+ read more

Nothing terribly impressive about this place. Food was average, prices were on the high side for the quality, and visually this place is a mess for a sit down restaurant. Service was good though. There are much better Thai restaurants in the salt lake area to take your business to. read more

Love this place: don't ever change! The food and family are just the absolute best! Other places just don't taste as authentic. Everything super fresh and delicious. I hadn't been here for a while bc I was out of state, but when I went back I couldn't have been happier. I felt truly welcome. No matter how busy they get, they are always so kind. read more

All my reviews are just reminders to myself. Best Thai restaurant I've been to yet!! Must go again if i ever go back to Utah. Suggestions of which sauces to use by the owner? made each dish even better. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. Som tum - papaya salad that is done very well. Feels fresh and the seasoning was just perfect. Lard naa - savory dish that is on the saucy side, had some smoky flavor to it similar to wok hai in chinese cooking, adding the suggested clear condiment (i don't know what it was exactly) made it twice as good, Gang dang - a curry with depth to it, had rich taste without it being heavy, mild is really mild so go medium Mango and thai custard with sticky rice - the custard tastes like when i stream eggs mixed with milk/condensed milk but with pandan added to it, sticky rice perfectly fine with mellow sweetness, mango is mango read more

I am more about Mexican restaurant or my favorite halibut place, or Olive Garden, but not much for Thai. Until today. It was the last day My grandson was going to be here. He's now on a trip to Alaska to work and he wanted to take me to this restaurant. He said when he lived on fourth E. that he went there at least 2 to 3 times a week. He ordered yellow curry and I ordered an appetizer plate. I frankly do not know how they make that chicken on a stick taste so incredibly delicious and the texture is just awesome. And the shrimp tempura is a shrimp lovers dream .! The cheese wontons were different than I've ever had, they were tempura coated, they were just awesome. The gyozos we as expected , very good and the eggrolls wonderful it also came with a salad, and I had the peanut sauce on it, very good But the find in all this were the two darling waitresses ! just a joy, friendly warm, and to me the most important thing about any restaurant!!! thank you both for a very, very enjoyable meal! Please try this restaurant, a very local one and if you're not a big fan of Thai and your partner is go there, you will be wonderfully surprised :-) read more

Ordered delivery via their website. The food came 30 minutes late and was the blandest Thai food we've ever had. The veggies weren't even cooked thoroughly. read more

Sure, we come for the amazing food but, also, this place has, absolutely, the best people in the restaurant business. They aren't owners/employees/servers/cooks. They are family. It's just who they are to everyone. They treat us like guests in their own private homes and are the very sweetest family of people you will EVER find in ANY restaurant anywhere in the world. Very important to me- They use all the organics they possibly can. I appreciate that so much because it's critical for us to consume clean food not sprayed with chemicals. *I'm so NOT Thai. I'm a white kid from a small town in Wisconsin who never even tried it until moving out west. The great joy of Chanon Thai is the broad menu of things to order and absolutely NOTHING is mediocre. Every single dish is mind blowing, FULL of flavor, and just absurdly great. THEN, Bah hits us with the homemade coconut ice cream for the closer. Beyond ridiculous. Make sure you don't leave without ordering that to finalize your dining experience (until next time). I love you all so very much and it's souls like all of you who make SLC and the world a better place. Thanks for always making us feel welcome and thanks for always putting so much love into your craft. It makes all the difference in the world. Oh, and, if they have some, pick up a Kombucha on your way out. Natnicha (little sister) makes the very best organic kombucha you will ever taste in your life. It's truly extraordinary. read more

Along Harvey Milk, you'll find this always busy neighborhood favorite. It's small and they do a lot of take-out, so be prepared to wait. It's worth it. We visited this week on a tip from a local. So glad we did! Everything seems delicious. My stand outs are the Pad Thai seafood, Thom Ka, and spicy fish. The plates are healing with flavor and the portions are big. They have alcohol as well as Thai tea and sodas. The service is top notch here. Everyone is welcome. There is much more you could want in the friendly city of Salt Lake. See website for hours, location and menu. read more

They are better than my mom's cooking...the best authentic thai food in slc. Should order online...doordash!!

This place is a favorite of mine. I always go early because they get BUSY. Be prepared to wait if you go with a large group or you get there past 6. It's so worth it, though. The food is delicious. I've never had anything here that I haven't enjoyed. read more

This is our favorite Thai place in the valley. I have never had a bad meal here. I recommend the waterfall salad (Num tok). It is perfection and the flavors are bright and fresh. I have had waterfall salad at a number of places and Chanon has the best. Their Mango Sticky rice is also my favorite I have had a round. The flavor and texture is perfect and I liked it served warm. We have also tried many of the curries to our delight. One of my favorite Thai dishes is The Tom Kha soup and the one here is perfection. The fresh lime juice is something you don't want to pass up. It is almost in the vein of a Brazilian Limeade. The service is quick and friendly and the staff are happy to make suggestions. read more

Hands down best Thai place in SLC! I've tried many while living here and this is the best bang for your buck. You get tons of great food for a great price. Plus the staff is awesome, involved in the community, and tries to reduce their waste by reusing boxes, not providing silverware unless needed. They are great and their food is great! Also don't forget to grab some homemade kombucha! My personal fav is the massaman curry, I get this at least once a month! read more

This is the best Thai restaurant in all of SLC!! Their service is spectacular as well. Immediately upon entering, the servers treat you like family and really makes the whole experience feel homey. It's as if they invited you into their home and cooked you a great meal. Can't recommend coming here enough. Their food was also very very good. We ordered the duck curry, which is probably the best duck curry I've had. There was good amounts of duck meat and the flavors were great. We also really enjoyed their drunken noodle! All around great experience! Definitely will take my out of town friends here. :) read more

The food is really good. However, I'd you order takeout in person be prepared to wait WAY too long. They seem pretty disorganized. Sadly, is rate the service, "one star," but the food, "five stars." read more

You know it's a good sign when you walk in the door and hear Thai coming from every corner of the restaurant - from both the diners and the staff. Everything from the flavors, to the presentation, to the warmth of the service made us feel like we were sitting down to an authentic and wholesome meal in someone's home in Thailand. The lunch special portions were great, and they even refilled our rice automatically when they noticed we were running low. The menu is also extremely vegan friendly. Recommend the pad puck, pad kee mao, panang curry, and tbh probably just everything! read more

Great Thai food in an enjoyable casual dining environment. We came just after 5:30 on a Sun night and were able to get seated right away. Interesting experience as it seemed the owners kids were the "hosts" seating us, providing menus and getting us water. Pretty funny. My son went with the Pad Kee Mao ($11) with drunken noodles and really enjoyed it. I ordered the Gang Keow Wan/Green Curry ($11) and it was excellent. Generously loaded with chicken. The place was hopping with people dining in as well as take out orders - so it was a little slow as a result. Service was very friendly. We would definitely come back again! read more

Ok I just have to say that this is probably the best Thai food you will find in the city! The owners are incredible people and the service has always been great. If you live around liberty park you will for sure turn into one of their regulars. I love the family vibe and the laid back ambiance! They serve their food on regular dishes, so you really feel like you are getting a home cooked meal! Now for the food! It's incredible! If you are looking for an authentic Thai taste this is definitely your place. Everyone I bring to Chanon Thai has only had good things to say. read more

This place has some great food ! No doubt we decided to try something new & as always trying new places to eat is always challenging weather to see if it's going to be good or bad so here's my review. Pros: Great amazing food , so many choices to choose from , service is good too they are really friendly & always asking if you need something . Overall a great vibe & friendly home style food , it was our first time trying Thai food & we loved it! CONS: If your planning to dine in expect to wait a little longer they get really busy here and it seems little they also do take out orders , food delivery services therefor there's only one person taking orders. Other thing is place is clean but just enough , the tables were a little sticky & the chairs felt super loose Besides that it's a great place to try out ! read more

Best Thai food in Utah in my experience (i was visiting and only came to this place haha) I can tell it's home cooked, the owners and workers seemed to all be family, the chef came out and was eating with family members. It felt like we were intruding on a family dinner in the restaurant but somehow felt welcome at the same time. The food was just, muah. Ordered the papaya salad which is known to be spicy, but this was SPI-CEEE- so beware. But it was so good, i also got some skewers which were full of flavor and filling. read more

The food is excellent and the service is very good. We came just as they were closing, but they opened up for us. You should try their homemade kombucha! read more

My husband and I stopped in here on a whim and we are so glad we did! It appears to be a family run business, a bit of a dive atmosphere inside (they also have outdoor seating), but that only adds to the charm. We sat in a corner filled with plants of all shapes and sizes accompanied by a card that explains the owner rehabilitates the plants on the brink of death and then sells them for charity - love it! As for the food, the Tom Yum was fabulous, chock full of veggies, as was both curries that we tried. The service was quick and friendly, we even ordered more to go! read more

I went to eat dinner here and they were too busy to acknowledge I came into the restaurant. Therefore I have no idea how the food is, they were busy but lacked the ability to manage the restaurant and let people know expected wait times or take to go orders. The restaurant is small and it was very load when I was waiting to talk with a hostess or someone. They had a sheet for you to put your name on to get in line but it was not very clear. I may try to go here again but most likely not. read more

Have only ever heard good things. We ordered Drunken Noodles, Massaman, Egg Rolls, Potstickers and Thai Tea. Our meal was excellent. Flavorful, filling, and hot!! We are used to spicy foods, but Chanon does a number on your tastebuds. Even a 2 on their scale is almost uncomfortably spicy, still worth it :-) The biggest downside was that they completely forgot the noodles for my Drunken Noodles so it was basically just a veggie stir-fry. Delicious, but I wish I could have a do-over to get what we actually paid for. Biggest bonus/surprise was the bouquet of free, beautiful flowers they gave us with the order. It was a lovely and fragrant addition! read more

Ordered takeout for the first time from Chanon. Always wanted to give them a try, so we figured it would be a nice break from the Thanksgiving leftovers. Sadly, I was not very impressed. Eerie feeling when I walked in to pick up the food, very disorganized and frantic, guess cause it was a busy night? Other patrons awkwardly sitting around waiting for their takeout as well. The owners children were running around and screaming... Food was ok. My husband and son said theirs was good. I got green curry, usually one of my favorites. I like spicy, so I got medium. Good heat level, but it didn't taste like anything, if that makes sense, it was just hot....oh well, back to Thanksgiving leftovers.... read more

My favorite yellow curry in salt lake! The inside is small but worth the wait. Or you can always easily order to go!
