Boca Raton can be... polite…read more Safe. Predictable. A place where flavor sometimes shows up wearing loafers. And then there's Chow Thai Cuisine, which kicks the door in and reminds you that spice is not a suggestion -- it's a lifestyle. Let's begin with the Tom Kha Gai. This soup isn't comfort. It's therapy with a PhD. Coconut milk silky enough to calm your nervous system. Galangal and lemongrass punching through like they have something to prove. Lime snapping you back to attention. It's hot, bright, layered -- the kind of dish that makes you pause mid-sentence and just nod. Fire. Absolute fire. Then came the Spicy Virgin Chicken -- and whoever named it that undersold it. This thing was off the chain. Bold heat. Real heat. Not Florida "mild but we call it spicy." The kind of balanced burn that builds instead of bludgeons. Flavor first. Heat second. Respect maintained. You can tell when a kitchen knows what it's doing. This one does. And here's the real test -- the only test that matters: Would we come back? Not "maybe." Not "if we're in the area." Not "with a coupon." Yes. Without hesitation. The Thai tea deserves its own paragraph. Creamy, sweet, but with this subtle floral undertone that sneaks in at the end like a quiet encore. It doesn't scream. It lingers. It knows exactly what it's doing. Now the tragedy. I didn't order the spring rolls. Why? Because I ran out of stomach. Which is both a failure and a victory -- because now I have a reason to return. And I will. The decor? Unexpectedly transportive. You walk in and it feels like you left Boca for a minute. Warm lighting, layered textures, a quiet otherworldly vibe. Not cheesy. Not forced. Just enough to shift your mood. Some restaurants serve food. Chow Thai serves intention.

We stopped by for a late dinner and had a really great experience. The staff was very nice,…read morefriendly, and accommodating, and we enjoyed sitting outside for the evening. We ordered the spicy tuna roll (chopped tuna, kimchi sauce, masago, scallions, sesame oil instead of sesame seeds), the salmon skin roll (crispy salmon skin, cucumber, scallions instead of sesame, and eel sauce), and a seaweed salad. The rolls were absolutely delicious -- fresh, flavorful, and prepared perfectly. The only thing I didn't love was the seaweed salad because it also included cucumber, which wasn't my favorite combination. The restaurant is conveniently located next to MD Now and across from the 5th Avenue Shops. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area. Fun fact: the word "Osha" means tasty, delicious, or flavorful -- and I'd say that's very true here. Give them a whirl... you won't be sorry!

My meal was still steaming even when we got home. Since we did take out, and did not eat at the restaurant, I cannot give a proper review on ambiance.

My friend ordered the ramen, and I forgot to snap a photo, but she let me try a few bites and I very much enjoyed it. My friends also let me try a bite of their fried rice, which was deliciously seasoned with garlic and vegetables. Aside from the crispy noodle pad Thai, everything was 10/10!

They have great prices and food, the best. Service was decent and the restaurant looks newly renovated. For food, we ordered the popcorn chicken pad thai, the lunar roll, salmon roll, and chicken satay. My favorites were the popcorn chicken pad thai and the chicken satay. The pad thai flavor was spot on and the popcorn shrimp was more succulent than I thought it'd be. I love that the pad thai had plenty of peanuts, sprouts, and green onions. The chicken satay is juicy and the sauce is on point. The rolls had better quality fish than other nearby sushi spots. Both rolls were also decently yummy. I would order everything again. Next time, I want to try some of their cocktails. They were all about $8, such an incredible deal. Overall, I recommend Lemongrass Asian Bistro!

We walked in to the place and grabbed a couple spots at their bar. Its a nice unassuming place. There people hustling about including the bartender. But she had 2 drinks over to us pretty quick. I wanted to try something new so I got the Nam Gek Huay. It was a tasty beverage with tea as the mixer. There were cloves of something on the top that were a nice touch. We found ourselves to the back where the small stage was. It was a nice turn out of people. We all got to hear about a dozen songs. Meanwhile we tried the pad Thai. I would say it was above average. It was a good time, and we will be back to try more of the menu.

I have bookmarked this for a few months now and so happy to have finally dined here…read more Eathai is one of the most impressive Thai spots in Boca. The ambience, quality of food and service, plus the plating/presentation was top notch. Love the spacious and modern/trendy ambience. There's a wall that separates the left side (restaurant) from the right side (bar/cocktail lounge). There's ample parking in the plaza. The menu is pretty expansive and truly lives up to the "modern" yet authentic take on Thai food. The Crispy Brussels Sprouts was a standout -- perfectly blistered, sweet and savory at the same time with just enough crunch. Super tasty! The Dry Rub Thai Chicken Wings was another highlight. Crispy on the outside, juicy inside, and coated in a seasoning blend that hits you with layers of flavor instead of just heat. I am used to chicken wings that are drizzled with sauce and this dry rub wings was such a nice surprise. This is honestly some of the best wings you'll find in a Thai restaurant. The Grilled Lamb Satay was beautifully plated -- smoky, and marinated just right. Paired with the peanut sauce and the refreshing cucumber-onion relish, it was a solid dish. Would have preferred the meat to be more tender though. The Jumbo Lump Meat Crab Fried Rice was comforting, served with a spicy green chili sauce. I was warned by our server that the green sauce is spicy, so I tempered the heat by adding more fish sauce. Generous chunks of real crab, fragrant rice, and well‑seasoned flavors. Service is efficient (will update this with the name of our server next time) and warm. The chef/owner is So. He is funny, friendly and hospitable and he makes his rounds to visit every table checking how everything is. This restaurant is now in our rotation for top Asian eats in Boca. If you're looking for Thai food with heart, flavor, and attention to detail, this place is a must try!

Larb Thai-Isan is my favorite Thai restaurant in South Florida. I've been here a few times and it…read morenever disappoints. The staff are always kind and welcoming, and you truly feel like you're transported to Thailand from how authentic the food tastes and the vibe in the restaurant. This time around there was barely any parking available in the shopping center but luckily there was only a wait of about 20-30 minutes. We were seated, greeted and served very quickly. This time around I came with a few friends and to start we had the papaya salad (not spicy {we forgot to add spice}), and the chicken wings. Both dishes were very fresh. As my main dish I ordered the Pad Woon Sen with shrimp and one of my friends ordered the Pad Thai with chicken (spicy). Both dishes were incredible and I would order them again. To drink I ordered a Thai iced tea which was rich and silky. And for dessert we shared an order of the mango sticky rice which was so flavorful and delicious.

The dining room was a bit warm, but once we were seated, the service more than made up for it. The servers were attentive, friendly, and checked on us throughout the meal. The atmosphere was one of the highlights. The Thai music and simple decor made the restaurant feel authentic. We started with the calamari and the chicken larb. The calamari itself was good, but the real standout was the accompanying peanut sauce. It added a rich, nutty sweetness that elevated every bite. The larb was outstanding. Larb is a traditional northeastern Thai salad made with ground chicken, fresh herbs, especially fragrant mint, lime juice. The mint gave it a bright, refreshing flavor that balanced the savory and tangy ingredients beautifully. For our entrées, we ordered the pineapple fried rice and the Khao Soi. The pineapple fried rice balanced sweet pineapple with savory curry-seasoned rice, vegetables, raisins and protein, making it both comforting and flavorful. Khao Soi is a famous northern Thai curry noodle soup with a rich coconut curry broth, noodles, meat, and crispy fried noodles on top for texture. It was our favorite. Everything we ordered was delicious, and the portions were generous... more than enough food for two people. Despite the 45-minute wait and the warm dining room, the authentic atmosphere, attentive service, and excellent food made it a meal worth returning for.
