We ended up dining here before a concert at the nearby Mystic Lake Amphitheater (which was…read morecancelled). We didn't know what to expect since food in the suburbs can be pretty hit and miss, but Soi21 was actually really, really good. We got the Moo Krob, the red curry, sticky rice, and both the roasted eggplant jeow and the roasted tomato jeow. We also both got a cocktail. Service was fast and the inside was pleasant enough (it must have once been a Caribou, it reminded me of one). The food was definitely really good. The stars of the show were the jeows, some of the best we have had. The curry was flavorful and tasty, as was the Moo Krob. The cocktails were good; I would not come here expecting the same quality as a cocktail bar, but for a mom and pop thai restaurant, they were definitely above average. All in all I would definitely reccomed this place, especially before a show at the new amphitheater.

If I could, I would suggest no corn starch. It adds nothing to the flavor and only thickens the soup...which should be fluid and not a thick bowl of gravy or similar. Lastly came the schewan chicken...a stir fry dish with red peppers, vegetables and some heat. I ordered a 4-star (0-5 scale). My dish arrived quickly and steaming hot. Unfortunately, the sauce was very sweet...no hot spice from the pepper. I could only eat about half of the schewan chicken before just needing to put down the fork. And while the soup was tasty, the heavy handed use of corn starch and I could only eat a few spoon fulls. All in all: a 5-star on service and great conversation with the nice older woman serving me...and a 2 for my meal. I am giving them an overall 3-star. Sorry, I truly support local family businesses, but I won't be back anytime soon.

The restaurant itself is pretty old and could use some updating, but the staff was friendly and welcoming. We ordered a variety of dishes, and our favorites were the Papaya Salad--spicy, sour, and oh-so-good; Green Curry--creamy, spicy, and full of flavor; and Chinese Broccoli with Rind Pork--crunchy and savory. Our least favorite was the Tri-Color Dessert, which honestly had to be one of the worst desserts I've ever tasted. The textures were really off-putting, and there was hardly any liquid, so the overall ratio felt completely off. Everything else we tried was just okay. While there were a few standout dishes, I'm not sure we'd come back.

I'm not sure how we didn't find out about this place until almost a year after it opened. Apparently, they've been around since July 2025. The interior of the restaurant looks clean and nice. I already want to go back to dine-in sometime and I'm interested in their weekend buffet. We ordered takeout on a Tuesday for dinner and chose Medium spice for everything. I got the Butter Chicken, and I think it was the best Butter Chicken I've ever had. For the price, I was hoping the portion would be just slightly larger, but taste-wise, it was absolutely amazing. We also ordered the Wet Chicken 65 and really enjoyed that as well. The portion size was pretty decent for this. I would order it again, but I'm also very interested in trying the Chicken 555 next time. My wife got the Szechuan Noodles with Chicken and liked them. I tried some and liked them too. The noodles come in a great sized portion. My Butter Chicken came with rice, but I had to order Garlic Naan separately for an extra $4.50. The Garlic Naan was fantastic, but I was disappointed by how little came with the order for almost $5. Next time, I would be tempted to order two, but then the price starts increasing pretty dramatically. Basically, if you're ordering more than one curry style dish, you'll probably need multiple orders of Garlic Naan unless you're fine eating everything with rice or on its own. During the week, it seems like the restaurant doesn't open until 5 pm. I get it... it's probably slow between lunch hour and 5pm. But it was a little frustrating because we like to pick up takeout shortly after work. When I tried placing the order around 4:45, the earliest available pickup time wasn't until 5:30pm. I really wish they allowed customers to schedule online orders for pickup at 5pm or even 5:15. They do not charge a service fee, which is a big deal for restaurants in 2026. There was no credit card fee either. That also contributed to why I rounded the rating up to five stars. Overall, I would definitely recommend trying this place. It will likely become our new regular Indian unless we want to eat earlier and don't want to wait until 5:30. I wish the Garlic Naan portion was larger, and that the Butter Chicken came with a little more food for the price, but the food is still fantastic.

There was plenty of seating options and I overheard them be very accommodating to a family with kids while eating too. My biggest critique is the restroom, it's located down a flight of stairs and its door was broken from the frame so the sign was to make sure to knock before opening.
