I ordered seafood delight. Food was almost raw. I tried many thai restaurants, this was the worst.

Came for a work lunch and was pleasantly surprised! Make sure to ask for the lunch special menu, otherwise they just give you the traditional dinner one. It came with a soup and wonton appetizer. The soup I got was chicken and rice and it was super simple but comforting (it did have a pretty strong ginger taste as well). The pad thai and fried rice both tasted very authentic! The chicken was cooked well and the noodles were the perfect texture. The server provides hot sauce to adjust the spice level (which in my opinion was needed, but if you are sensitive to spice it's perfect). I will definitely come again!

Drove from Oswego for this and it was well worth it! Food was so good. Ordered egg rolls and pot stickers for appetizers. Will definitely be back soon!

Thai First is an amazing restaurant with kind service, and the food is delicious! I just had a basil fried rice with shrimp and it was amazing! The shrimp is very good! Some places use a lower quality shrimp from what I’ve seen but the shrimp here is phenomenal! Especially in the fried rice, that dish was so good. I also had a pad thai with beef, easily one of my favorite dishes I’ve ever had. I highly recommend this restaurant. Prices are decent and the service was wonderful. 10/10! :)Vegetarian options: The menu allows people to order tofu or mixed veggies with their meal, which is very nice!
$4 extra for 4 shrimp? That is extortion! I will not be back. Do not patronize this business! If you are going to have a $4 surcharge for shrimp charging $1 a shrimp is a rip off and unprofessional. They also do not devine their shrimp which means you actually eat shrimp poop when you order their shrimp.

Im sorry I was really hoping this place was gonna be great but it highly disappointed me, I ordered the pad thai, pad se ew, and the pot stickers and both of the noodle entrees were really dry and the potstickers were 6/10. I have had thai cuisine multiple times before and it was my first time checking this place out, it just wasn't worth the money to be honest. ☹️
Just had the Panang Curry and LOVED it! Not everyone can make favorable curry. The sauce was NOT too spicy, just a hint of spice. The rice was soft and tender, while the vegetables were slightly crisp, but smooth enough to mix easily with the sauce, and the rice. Absolutely loved it !!!!!!

Tasty, but VERY expensive. $20 for our entrees. If their prices were more reasonable, they would actually have customers. As it was, we were the only people in there. It ended up as expensive a meal as at Cooper's Hawk, which is a pretty pricey joint with great service, atmosphere wine club etc.

Priced-right lunchtime menu. I had the Chicken Pad Thai, which was sauced with just the right amount. The sauce was savory and not too sweet. I added some chili paste for a kick. The ginger chicken soup was delicious, as was the homemade pot stickers. The dipping sauce was a liberal amount, though.
Fried rice was burnt.
