Unfortunately, our experience was disappointing before we even had the opportunity to try the food…read more When we arrived, there were several open tables throughout the restaurant. However, a senior staff member, who appeared to be the manager or owner, informed us that no larger tables were available for our group. It seemed that combining a couple of tables would have been a simple solution, but no effort was made to accommodate us. We were willing to be flexible and agreed to sit at two separate tables instead. However, when we asked to place a high chair next to one of the tables, the same staff member objected, despite the hostess appearing comfortable with the arrangement. The interaction felt unnecessarily inflexible and unwelcoming, particularly for a family dining with young children. Rather than working with us to find a reasonable solution, it felt like our presence was an inconvenience. As a result, we decided to leave and dine elsewhere. Hospitality is about making guests feel welcome, and unfortunately that was not our experience here.

One got the sense that the other diners that evening felt much the same way. It was a weeknight, and with a lower customer load than might be the case on a Friday or weekend, she had ample time to spend with each party, regaling us all with fun conversation. It goes without saying that the company in one's own party makes a whale of a difference, and in that regards I could not have asked for better. This is to take nothing away from the food, which was absolutely delicious, flavorful and mercifully not too spicy - our aging gastrointestinal systems are sadly just not up for the violent torment from a chilli assault like when we were younger, and felt invincible. The mango rice dessert - enough for two to split - was sublime. And the town of Naugy itself - for both of us an unknown quantity til that evening despite having whizzed past it a ton on Route 8, hammering down the famous Naugahyde River Valley - is intriguing. Naugatuck offers gorgeous and fascinating architecture from the last two centuries at least, evidence of thriving mill-driven industry in years past, very easy access from the highway, and lots of close on-street parking, at least on a Thursday evening. BYOB if you are that way inclined, as they don't have a liquor license. Will we be back to Chiangmai Thai? Abso-frikkin-lutely. I've you've already been, then go back again, and soon. If you haven't had the pleasure, get moving now and thank me later.

It's not too often I get to go back and revisit my reviews, but yesterday I think I've had enough…read morechange in opinion about ThaiBowL (still can't get over that capital L) that I think an update is an order. This was originally review 148 (149 if you want to count the one review I had that had been deleted) out of all the reviews I've done. Before I get into what changed, I will point to the one thing I stand most by: the Crab Rangoon. This time I had it served to me on a plate, with a separate section for the plum sauce, and this time I had a small pile of shredded carrot and a leaf or two of greens. My opinion about the Crab Rangoon remains the same, which is to say they're outstanding. The plum sauce I've come to learn is the sweetest part of the dish and was a big reason as to how the dish ended up being so sweet. The filling to breading ratio is top-notch, the breading is crispy without feeling like I'm eating mushy bread, and the flavor of the filling is divine. So into what changed. You might have gotten the hint when I talked about the plating of the Crab Rangoon, but I dined in this time, and honestly, it's much better to eat this in the restaurant than to just go to the take-out window. If you have time and are in Watertown, I would definitely recommend parking your car and coming in. It's a cozy interior that's very casual. It's not quite at the level of fine dining, but it is still an intimate place to eat, maybe even romantic. It's very well-decorated, and the employees here are very friendly. Would I say they treat you like family? Ehhhhh..... I don't know about that one, but maybe the next step down it's a little clearer. As for what else I had this time around, please give a warm welcome to the Thai Iced Coffee, the Red Duck Curry with white rice, and the Fried Ice Cream! The Red Curry is spicy, but not unbearably so. The Iced Coffee actually pairs perfectly with this to cool down the heat (I actually had to order 2 of those coffees believe it or not). The duck was crispy and tender at the same time and the vegetables in the curry were for the most part great. My only knock on the dish would be the eggplant. That did come out mushy, but luckily there were only like 2 slices of it, so it wasn't a big deal. You can use the spoon they provide to ladle some of that sauce onto the rice, which actually gives the rice more flavor. As for the Iced Coffee, it was a great coffee and I would definitely have this iced coffee any time I come here and have one of their curries. Does it carry the whole meal on its own? No. But as a drink to help balance things out, it's a winner. As for the fried ice cream, they did phenomenal. You actually have to let the ice cream melt slightly to get into it because the ice cream inside the coating is still cold enough to be hard to cut into with a spoon. But it was a delicious dessert to end things off on. I would like to have this with chocolate ice cream, but that's just a personal preference and not sure how that would work. lol I think now that I've had the full restaurant experience here, I can safely say I was a little harsh giving this a 4 the last time around, and even that was still a good meal. The ambiance, the service, and the fact I got to try more things I ended up liking enough to recommend to others was enough for me to bring this up to the full 5. This will definitely be my Waterbury area option for Thai food going forward.

The food was alright, the flavor wasn't as strong like what I'm used to. If you don't like spice,…read morethis might be good for you. I would say the best thing were the spring rolls since they tasted fresh and the sauce was flavorful. Service was fast.

First off, the place is very cute looking, great little painted mural of an adorable scenery and hanging from the ceiling. There are booths and tables and plenty of elbow room. The menu is your typical time menu. We ordered the Giza and my husband ordered the pineapple rice and I ordered the green curry. Pineapple chicken were not bad, had some good seasoning to it and good flavor. My husband's rice dish, which is pork fried rice was rather dry and pretty bland in terms of Thai food. He had to ask for sauce to give it a little more zip, so the waiter brought him sweet-and-sour sauce. It didn't do the trick, but it was better than what it was before. My dish was good, I got it with sticky rice, but it wasn't great like typical Thai food is. I got the itch to come here, and I got it out of me now and I'm all good...

Very nice restaurant! Standard Thai flavor! I really enjoy the rice noodles and the sour spicy soup! We drove here for about 30 min. In the city life, it probably won't be acceptable, but I am getting used to it. And it was worth to travel. Things that you can experience in NYC restaurants, which is to eat at the table outside, can be experienced here as well during the summer. And it's even nicer than NYC. Well, it's actually debatable because some people will really appreciate the busy atmosphere of New York. But here, you can enjoy such a nice nature while eating outside. read more

I expected better price than Manhattan, but it was almost the same. However, if you go during the lunch hours, their price is pretty good. Lunch menu will give you less amount for main food, but will give you soup, salad, and one spring roll. I was quiet satisfied. There are not many Thai restaurants near here. Meantime, I recommend this place because taste of food here is pretty good, and I like the interior here. read more

My family and I travel up and down route 22 a half dozen or so times each year. On our drive south…read morethis weekend, we were searching online for a dinner spot that wasn't roadside pizza or fast food. We stumbled on Thai Baan and the Distillery. Let me say, we were very pleasantly surprised. For starters, the property and building are gorgeous. What a great way to be introduced to this Thai gem in the Hudson Valley. We walked the grounds a bit before sitting for dinner indoors, which was a wonderful way to enjoy the sun setting over the mountains to our west. Our pleasant server took our order for four locally-distilled cocktails and we ordered a handful of share-worthy appetizers and mains. It took a bit longer than we had hoped to get drinks to the table, but once they arrived, found them to all be imaginative and quite tasty. We very much enjoyed both meat and vegetarian dishes. The menu is relatively small, but sufficient for varying tastes and dietary restrictions. The dishes were all delightful, and standouts included the Massaman curry short ribs -- one of the best I've ever had -- and the pad Thai, which was unusually flavorful and delicious. Our chicken wraps had just the right spice profile and the spring rolls, while the most ordinary of the dishes we tasted, were crisp and flavorful. We shared a pork dish that I've not seen on other Thai menus, and my wife (who does not eat meat) ordered a sauteed eggplant and tofu dish that was excellent. All the dishes were beautifully presented. We finished with a Crème Brûlée that was also exceptional. The all-in bill (with gratuity) was $360 for the four of us with four cocktails, two appetizers, three entrees, a pad Thai and a dessert to share. The cost-to-value ratio was probably a bit high considering the location, but not out of the zone for the quality and experience. In short ... this is not your standard everyday Thai restaurant. You won't find many of the usual dishes. Instead, I'd describe Thai Baan as a highly curated Thai culinary experience in an absolutely gorgeous setting. We'll be back, for sure.

This was a second visit to Tenmile. The first was when Westerly Canteen was providing the food…read more That was superb. This time, not so much. What we liked: Lovely setting, widely spaced tables. What was disappointing: We ordered Thai Salad, but were delivered chicken in lettuce leaves. Then the order was corrected. The Thai Salad was a hefty portion of relatively common vegetables and a tasty dressing packed in a medium-sized bowl that was much too small for tossing. We asked for a bigger bowl. None available. Our main courses were Pork Belly with noodles and Pad Thai with shrimp. The Pork Belly included a few thin slices plus lots of noodles swimming in broth. An OK dish, but nothing special. The Pad Thai shrimp had tails. Should have been served with a knife to remove the tails. We asked for and got one. The background music was muddled. Most of the time we heard the beat, but nothing more. Service was friendly, but a bit confused. Tenmile has great ambiance, but needs a matching level of food. At the moment, it falls noticeably short. One more thing: $10 for bottled water!
