Well, fortunately for us, Las Vegas has tons of excellent Thai food restaurants. But to me, there are a few that stand out.
The Other Amazing Thai Food Restaurant
Nittaya’s Secret Kitchen is amazing. This is one of the best hidden Thai food restaurants in the city, and it is my favorite date night spot. The menu is very Thai yet very unique. The World-Famous Spinach Salad is amazing. The Crying Tiger makes you want to cry tears of joy because it’s so delicious, and the FOB rice dish is served in the pineapple itself. And yes, they have dessert on lock. I suggest the Thai Donuts. If you live in Summerlin then you’re in luck because they are right around the corner, located on the corner of Rampart and Lake Mead.
Pin Kaow is one of my go-to’s whenever I want to grab Thai for home or a casual dinner outing. It’s the first Thai restaurant I checked out in Vegas, and it’s still a fave. I’m a fan of their Thai beef jerky. The sauce that comes with it is fantastic. I almost always get the Thai basil chicken and the drunken noodles. They have two locations. One on North Rainbow at Lake Mead and the other on Eastern near St Rose Parkway
Le Thai is another great choice, and it’s located in a fun spot that’s perfect for pre-party activities. It is located downtown on east Fremont and is my go-to whenever I head downtown for a show or bring my out-of-town friends to go do “Vegas.” Go Pow is my favorite dish here because while it’s a spicy basil dish that many other Thai joints have, Le Thai puts a friend egg on it for an extra something special. Le Thai is great for a hang-out spot because the bar is pretty slamming.
Yes, so many people tell visitors that Lotus of Siam is the best Thai restaurant in town, and it has won lots of excellence awards, so they’re not wrong. But for me, the places I just spoke about have a place in my heart.
