If Thai food in Cincinnati were a prize fight, this place would win by knockout in the first round…read morewhile the rest of the restaurants are still trying to find their gloves. Chris runs the place, and if kindness were a competitive sport his family would already have Olympic gold. Chris and his kids treat customers the way you wish every business in America still did..,,like you're a neighbor, not a transaction. You walk in hungry and leave feeling like you've been adopted. Now the food. The Thai dishes are the real deal, bright, balanced, and so good you start wondering if the chef has a secret tunnel to Bangkok. But the sushi? That's where things get suspicious. The fish is so fresh and high-quality it feels like the tuna signed a waiver before arriving. Their standards are higher than most politicians claim for themselves. The result: incredible Thai food, exemplary sushi, and a family running the place with genuine warmth. In a world full of chain restaurants that feel like airport terminals with menus, Chris and his crew built something rare, food that's excellent and people who are even better. Eat here once and you'll understand why regulars keep coming back. Eat here twice and you'll start wondering if you should just rent an apartment nearby. Cincinnati is lucky to have them. And frankly, so is anyone with a fork.

We each got an egg roll and the sauce that came with them was not like regular sweet thai chili-- it was far more flavorful. I loved it so much. We also got Massaman curry-- which I had been wanting to try. It was simple, but tasty and had a good depth of flavor. My 1 year old devoured it. We also got curry fried rice, which we'd had before, but it was even better than I remembered. SO SO GOOD I am not great with spice, so I got a level 1, but honestly could've probably gone up to a 3 because I tasted ZERO spice in the 1.

We were not offered compensation except for a free drink while while waiting. They were not busy. The food was not good. I had Pad See Yu and the noodles were mushy, it was ordered "hot" but had only mild spice level. The teriyaki vegetable dish was ridiculous; I had to make another dinner for that family member. The sauce was watery and not flavorful, and probably 70% of the "mixed" vegetables were large pieces of sliced carrot. The few pieces of broccoli had very long very hard stalks and small florets. This was also the case for the broccoli in my dish (see pic). We always eat our leftovers, but in this case no one wanted them. I did not return the food to the restaurant because we live 15-18 minutes away. It would have taken another half-hour at *minimum* meaning 8:30 or later for dinner, and everyone was already starving because it had taken so long. When I pay almost a HUNDRED dollars for 4 basic meals, one appetizer and a spring roll, I expect the food to be decent. It was not good AND it took exactly 52 minutes from the time I called it in. Previous orders of Ban Thai were fine-to-okay, but after this experience, I doubt we will be back.

Absolutely scrumptious Thai iced tea preferred over other local places. And the crab rangoons are light and crispy (think wonton wrapper --not egg roll). I've been here before, but tried a new dish today. I got the ginger stir-fry with only onion, snow peas, and ginger in it. It's a very thin and light sauce and the chicken is tender (NOT fried or battered). The only thing I'd change next time is swapping the steamed white rice for fried. I will definitely go back for this dish! My son opted for the basil fried rice w/beef. He's braver than I, and chose 2.5 on the spicy scale (1-3 are the choices!). He loved it and the crab rangoons, and he's not usually a fan of rangoons. It's family friendly and good for any small groups. Very friendly staff, as well. And save room for the mango sticky (black) rice dessert. ;)

You can pick your spice level from 1-5. 5 being the hottest. I made reservations on a Thursday night and invited some of our friends to join us. The restaurant has been there for a very long time and you can tell their clientele is well established. The inside is small but plenty room for dining.

My Mr and our friends enjoyed their meals as well. What a great experience and I can't wait to come back and try the rest of the menu.

The service is always great, the food always delicious, and the atmosphere is very relaxed. This most recent visit, my lady and I went with some friends for my birthday. I was excited to introduce my friends to the place. Our server, Patchurin, was awesome. For our food, I started with a bowl of tom yum soup, and had the larb gai (spicy Thai chicken salad) as my main. My lady had the pad sea ewe with tofu. I made a few suggestions to my friends since I know the menu pretty well. Everything was just as good as I remembered though I hadn't been in a while. I don't think my lady and I are gonna wait so long to go again.

We really enjoyed our dinner here last night…read more We ordered the Vegetable Spring Rolls for an appetizer. I ordered a water and my husband ordered a Tsingtao beer. We both liked the spring rolls. Nothing exciting about them. Just a standard spring roll. For our entrees we ordered the Red Curry Beef on spice level 9 (husband) and the Spicy Thai Basil on a level 5 spice. The spice heat is from 0-10 and we found it to be a good spice level for each of us. It is a little oily - less creamy and coconut-y than some Thai places we've eaten but we did enjoy our meals quite a bit. I do think that the Spicy Thai Basil dish needed a bit more basil in it. Overall, the food was very good and the service was ok. We'll definitely stop in again to try more of the menu.
