Thai 1st Bistro

A few points the menu doesn’t tell you that you should know: 1) Soft drinks come in a can so that’s $1.98 each there. The iced tea is excellent and I recommend it. 2) Some ingredients are unavailable (e.g., cashews) but they will still sell menu items that include them. The online menu still shows cashews as being in massaman curry, but they don’t even substitute peanuts. They just don’t include them. 3) Their “Thai spicy” tops out at chili pepper/seed paste. This will be fine for most folks in the area, but if you were hoping for an authentic experience you will be disappointed. Overall, our food came out looking excellent. The presentation was lovely and the fried rice was above par. Chicken in two dishes was mostly excellent, but a couple pieces in both were dry and chewy. They’ve shifted to a hybrid counter service model. You order up front and they bring it to you and clean up after. This makes service a little slow when you need something.

I ordered 2 Dinner items on Friday, one was Shrimp Fried Rice. When we opened the container, we did not find enough shrimp for the money charged for. Ultimately, when we found a couple of them, they were having shell on the tail. It was very disappointing. Secondly, when I checked the Bill and payment receipt, I was shocked to see they added 3 % as Credit Card Commission to the bill. Usually, the customer is asked whether what Method of Payment he/she is using to settle the check. If the customer says that it is being settled by a Debit/Credit Card, the Merchant Establishment informs that there will be a CC Commission added to the check. Neither I was asked, nor informed about that. This is very deceitful practice. Hence, I request future patrons to boycott this place and other such places and teach them a fitting lesson that cheating on the quality of food and adding charges without information don't work.

I’ve always had great food and excellent service here! This was my first Thai food love! I ate here a lot with a friend. We would sit at the bar and order sashimi and the avocado appetizer! Oh it was so delicious just look at my photos!!! I highly recommend visiting this place for lunch or dinner. It gets busy just like you would expect. It’s a small restaurant inside and they have seating outside as well!
