6 reviews for Bahn Thai Restaurant
Like in the first review I too started by reading what others said about this restaurant since it is in an 'iffy' section of town. The decor was decently with a Thai flair bordering on trying-too-hard. The food was higher priced and smaller portions than I am used to from other Thai places. The food tasted Thai but was nothing I couldn't cook at home from a box. There was no "zing". The service was pretty good and they were helpful.
Be mind-full that they have a lunch buffet which I have yet to attend and then close for a few hours and re-open later for dinner. So plan accordingly.
I lived right by Bahn Thai and would only go there because it was convenient. I used to be a huge fan of Bahn Thai in Gainesville, but found the Tallahassee location to be lacking in service, flavor, and cleanliness. If you want to try this place, then I recommend their lunch buffet. But, get there early when the food is fresh and before they are mobbed with people. This place seems to be filled with state office workers and students for lunch, because of it location and speed.
One time I found a huge gray dust bunny hairball in my Pad Thai, ugh.
Bahn Thai is expensive and inconsistent. It can be good but usually isn't. I have given up on it, which is a shame, because they remember repeat customers there.
I love Thai food. Whenever I travel it's usually the first type of cuisine I try. Bahn Thai is alright. Portions are fairly small and decently flavorful. The owner doesn't do much to accommodate people who request specialized orders. The dishes are way expensive for the portion sizes. The lunch buffet is pretty good, cheap and has an extensive vegetarian selection. Overall, Bahn Thai is a decent restaurant.
The only thai place I went to while living in Tallahassee. The servers were always nice (even when my mom gets drunk and acts crazy, they loved it hah) and the food was good. I can't remember each experience exactly, but I remember always leaving fat and happy :]
I went to this restaurant because I had done a little research online and there were some favorible things said about this place. Well let me correct their statements. The restaurant is located in an iffy part of town. Then the interior of the restaurant is dark and the temperature was kind of warm. On to the food. I started with a bowl of soup, which did come out hot and I must say there was a fair amount of stuff in it, so that was okay. Then came my Chicken Satay. The chicken tasted pretty good, though a little overcooked. Finally was my meal. I ordered the Panang Beef, but what I got was somethng totally different than the normal Panang. There was cabbage and squash and many many vegetables mixed in there (which I have never seen) and the sauce was watery and not curry like at all. Then to top it all off they put it on a sizzling hot plate like it was fajitas (????) I had asked for them to make my food Thai hot, but it tasted mild (nothing spicy about it) The only that was extremely positive was the service, they were at the ready to fill my water glass.
