Food prices do not match quality and quantity. Spices were nice. When I think of Thai food, I think aroma of lemongrass and basil. That 'touch' was not there.

Vegetarian options: Summer veg rolls were ok, Veg fried rice was great

Enjoyed the poor man’s noodles with ground chicken though the medium spice level wasn’t really spicy at all. Service was good. Didn’t love how they brought the check before I’d even drank my tea, but would come back to try another dish.

The most disappointing takeout I’ve probably ever had. Definitely the worst Thai food. Noodles were absolutely flavorless, the roti soggy and drenched in oil, and the curry watery. Im usually one to disregard one star reviews, but I wish I hadn’t.

First time having food at this restaurant and the food was really good. This is a small place with very few tables. The customer service was good. Ambience nice. Definitely recommend the sticky rice with banana and the coconut ice cream. It was the best. Try any dishes from the menu you will not be disappointed.

Many years ago I had dinner at Zen Yai. The food was OK but the atmosphere was not appealing. THIS HAS ALL CHANGED.Recently we went back to have dinner at Zen Tai based on a recommendation of a trusted friend. All the items we ordered were fresh and delicious and the interior of the restaurant was greatly improved. I look forward to returning soon!

I've had Thai food across the US, Canada, and Thailand and this was absolutely the worst phad thai I've ever had. 0 spice, it just tasted like tomato sauce. The noodles were soggy, stuck together and just terrible. The Thai tea was amazing though.

***Beware*** Such a bad experience! We went there and asked for spicy food and they just said we can’t make spicer than this and it was not at all spicy also it’s little pricey and portion size was small. It looks way different in person than in pictures. There was nothing compared to pictures. They should at-least make it little clean and improve on their customer service. Overall not great experience!
