This by FAR my favorite Thai place in Des Moines. I have NEVER had a bad meal, and never not had the BEST service. I've had a lot of Thai food from every major city in the US, and this is the best Thai cuisine I've ever had. The folks that run this place are also so kind and wonderful!

Thai restaurant right off of 22nd and University. Nice little place. Family owned with a traditional menu. Wife got Spicy Basil chicken with excellent flavors and a heat scale of 4. Gotta sày i expected it to be hotter. It was delicious though.
I got Red Curry chicken heat scale of 3, and it wasn't spicy enough either, but it was also excellent with plenty of Thai flavors. I have had coconut based Thai food In the past, this was the tastiest by far. We both got...

If ratings were based on percentages, rather than stars, I would give Eat Thai a 99%. Certainly worth any kind of distance you need to travel to get here, I was just taken aback by one tiny detail.

Thai food is one of my top two favorite cuisines, so I am quite finicky about how it's done. I worked in a Thai restaurant (in Ohio) for a year and had my expectations raised quite high on what good Thai food looks and tastes like.

Eat Thai...
