The food here is a little odd. It's like the first few bites tasted pretty good, but then the more…read moreI ate the less I liked it, and by the end I was not a fan. The Hunan chicken was fine, the egg roll was pretty tasteless, but the Hot & Sour Soup was where it got weird. The soup tasted like sweet & sour sauce mixed with chunks of hard boiled eggs. I've eaten a ton of different types of hot & sour soup; none of them have looked/tasted like this one. I think there was tiny shrimps in it, but honestly there was a bunch of unidentifiable things in the super gelatinous bright yellow broth. At first the surprising flavor was intriguing, but it seemed to turn a bit funky after a few bites. Overall it wasn't terrible, but I would recommend skipping the hot & sour soup.

The food was about what I expected, some was fresh and hot some was cold, most was okay at best. I did like the homemade spring rolls though. Definitely turned off by the desert bar. They had cantaloupe sitting out which was attracting flies, and the flies consequentially ended up in the other desserts like the pudding and etc. Their ice cream station was self serve; just an ice cream scoop sitting in a soapy bowl and a freezer with different family sized containers of ice cream. Felt like a health hazard and my tummy is feeling it the day after. Maybe when they are busier they're more attentive to the food quality and cleanliness but I know I certainly will not be back.

They had some very nice pieces of Asian Art all throughout the place. The food was great. The presentation was exceptional. The soup was delicious. The spring rolls were delicious.

Our server did a great job. I believe they said he was the owner. He checked on us often. He offered suggestions. He kept our drinks full. He was very personable. Additionally he had a wonderful since if humor. I left very impressed and full. Everything was reasonably priced. There is parking in front. The one area in which they need some improvements was the restroom. It needed to be updated to reflect the rest of the restaurant.

I shop and dine just down from Bann Thai and never knew it was there. Seriously, I drive up and…read moredown Rte 157 and never noticed this little strip center that sits off the road and down in a hollow. It kind of makes it a hidden treasure and I'm glad that I found it. My visit was during a Saturday lunch and I was impressed. I started my meal with Fried Spring Rolls filled with vegetables and served Thai Sweet Chili Sauce. They were a thin crisp shell, that still gave a nice crunch when bitten into. The sauce was a accompaniment. For an entree I chose, Drunken Noodles and added Beef for my protein. I was torn between Pad Thai and the Drunken Noodle and when I asked my server, she said their most popular dish was Drunken Noodles. Then when I went to add my protein it was between chicken and beef. She said beef was her favorite add, so I went with her recommendation. Once my entree arrived to the table I was surprised by its size. It was huge. It was so big, it could have been a meal for two. Guess who had leftovers for lunch the next day. The noodles were flavorful and lots of tender beef and had plenty of veggies. My spice level was 3 out of 5 and I still was sweating along my hairline. Next visit I may have to scale back to a two. The service was attentive and the young lady who was my server, had a bubbly personality. I also had a young man who brought me my order, checked on me and I wasn't even his table. Now that I have found this hidden treasure, I will definitely be back. When: March 7, 2026 Why: Lunch

Unfortunately, the food didn't live up to the service. The portions were disappointing for the price, especially considering our total bill. The lo mein had an off flavor that reminded me of a dirty wok or old cooking oil, and neither dish met our expectations. I genuinely wanted to like this place because the people were so nice, but the food quality and overall value just weren't there for us. I hope they take this as constructive feedback because the customer service was the best part of the experience.

The lamb pieces used to be small but they are huge now! Appreciate the owners taking the feedback. I think they make the tofu in house. They are huge thick soft pieces with enough crispness on the outside. It's a good introduction to how seriously Chinese people take tofu and how in other countries they have a huge variety of tofu, vs the select few we have in the U.S. And I used to be partial to the spicy fried fish at cate zone, but chilispot has upgrade this dish a lot. It's perfectly crispy and hot!!! Even if you don't like fish, it's a great dish and also makes for great leftovers. I know the fried chicken is popular but I find the chicken pieces are too small. Even with two heavy eaters, we still have leftovers for another meal

It was excellent and had just the right amount of heat. I also enjoyed the smoky ham fried rice, although it lacked the distinct smoky aroma I was expecting. Some of the other dishes didn't quite land for me. The fish soup wasn't my favorite, and the beef noodle soup wasn't especially memorable. The cumin lamb, however, was better than expected and ended up being one of the stronger dishes we ordered. That said, the service was friendly, the portions were generous, and there are plenty of interesting options on the menu. I'd definitely come back to try some different dishes next time.
