This is a multi Asian style restaurant. The Thai food is horribly prepared and not culturally correct. I had the Penang curry and there was no sauce, it came out as soup. The second dish had peanut sauce and it was unrecognizable, a goopy gelatinous mess barely resembling anything peanut.
Pick what you want to make, but don't try to attempt Thai, Vietnamese, Chinese etc. They are all very different and the cooks are definitely not Thai at this restaurant.
I will say they removed my entree and I reordered and that did was fair. I do not recommend this restaurant for authentic Asian.

Lai Thai Kitchen offers an authentic and flavorful Thai dining experience. The tom kah soup is a standout, with its rich, aromatic coconut broth infused with a perfect balance of tangy lemongrass and creamy coconut milk. It has a soothing depth that pairs well with the fresh herbs and tender proteins. The red curry, especially extra hot, is another favorite. The heat level is spot-on for those who crave a fiery kick, and the curry itself is fragrant, spicy, and packed with layers of flavor. The combination of bold spices and tender meats or vegetables makes every bite exciting. If you love bold, well-crafted Thai dishes, Lai Thai Kitchen is a must-visit!

This place is great. It's a no frills Thai olace. The portions are big, the food is delicious, and the food comes really fast, which is great when you're hungry.

I ordered $120 of food for my family and I to enjoy. Should have read the comments... Worst thai food iv ever had. The pad thai was sweet and weird tasting. Mongolian beef was water with chewy meat and raw veggies BLAND!!! Basil fried rice was so spicy I couldn't even eat it and was bland. Red curry was light pink curry sweet coconut milk water. Yuck! Everything has been thrown away. TRASH!!!! Wasted money, wasted time. And my family didn't get to eat because everything was horrible. Shame on this place.
