Stopped in for dinner on our way home. The place was busy, so service was a bit slow, but understandable. The pad krapao portion was huge and full of flavor, with the Thai basil really coming through.
The papaya salad absolutely delivered on spice (ordered level 5), but the overall flavor was a bit flat and could have used more lime juice and fish sauce.
Overall, a great spot and I would definitely come back.

Might be one of my least favorite Thai restaurants we have ever tried.
Flavors were just off, and Combonation Fried tasted like it was flavored with wet veggies. Meats were bland. A slight hint of basil was present, wish there was more to like.
Wings, just don't waste your time.
Egg rolls were decent.
Tom Yum soup. Flavorless... just sour.
Papaya salad bland again.
However you will leave with your clothes and hair smelling like cooked oil and garlic.
It's also so annoying that you stand and order at the counter and guilted into 18% tip for self-service.

Delicious food and friendly staff. Great flavor. A little bit more cabbage than I like, the tofu was PERFECT.

I've been on the hunt for a great Thai restaurant in the area that is clean and has great food. I've tried several and Chai Thai-Lao is the best I have had. We had the vegetable Pad Thai and cauliflower with peanut sauce. We tried the roasted but next time we will try the dried cauliflower. The portions were large enough to share. I can't wait to go back!

Green curry, pad Thai, and drunken noodles were all amazing, as well as the tea. Staff was nice. Will be returning soon.
You can get stuff for less than 20 but a full meal will run you about that. Our meal fed 2 adults and a child and there was still at least 1-2 portions left over.

The food was mediocre. The curry chicken was so overcooked. They were like leather. Chicken wings were over fried too. Drunken noodles were decent though.

Food was great, I had the Thai green curry extra spicy with chicken and it was delicious. Came with a side of rice and ordered some extra steamed noodles on the side. Will be back to try out some more things but what I had was great
If you are looking for the best pad thai in Baton Rouge, look no further, plus the staff are kind and helpful

My boyfriend heard about this place through a coworker. He loved his pad Thai and was having a hard time finding a place as good as what he misses in Washington. I love a good curry, so I wanted my first dish to be their yellow curry, as a base line before I got more adventurous. It rivaled Thai Kitchen's yellow curry, of which I'm a big fan. It was SO delicious. Their crab Rangoons are more on the savory side than sweet, so I won't rank them high on my personal list, but they still were very good! Super crisp and flavorful. I cannot wait to try more of their menu.

I can't believe I've lived down the street from this place for a number of years and never knew it existed. Everything I've tried on the menu so far has been outstanding. I love their soups! I wish they stayed open a little later - I eat dinner later than most people so when Im hungry, they're often closed. But they're probably family owned and don't want to work all day and all night in the kitchen. I probably just need to adjust my eating schedule. But I'll definitely be a repeat customer!

I love Chai Thai Lao! Honestly, how can you beat this place for $12 to $13 at lunch compared to all the unhealthy fast food options around Baton Rouge? The portions are huge. Two people can easily share, or you can do what I do and bring half home for later. Definitely try the Thai Glass Noodles if you want something amazing. The flavor is incredible and the portion is easily sharable. You are getting fresh cooked, family style meals here instead of wasting money at Chick-fil-A or other fast food spots. The workers are always so pleasant and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. I go weekly at the very least when I am in town, and it never disappoints. Highly recommend!

We ordered quite a few items from the menu and only dish that had some flavor was dry tomyom ,definitely recommend trying that ,other than that everything was mediocre,
