Recently moved closer to this stop, Little Bangkok has always been our go-to for Tai. That said, Lai Tai is our new home. Nice atmosphere, courthouse and quick service create a great vibe! The Pho is pho-nominal! The drunken noodles left me in a nice stupor! Every entree is generous and turns into a fish’n/loaves thing! Can't wait for our third visit!

Pretty bland. Got the hottest spice. Definitely not spicy I have had most Thai places in grand rapids. The least amount of protein (beef) I've received from an Thai place in gr. Very average. Just being honest

Had the Peanut Pad Thai for takeout.
Ordering in person was quick and the food was ready in like 10 minutes.

Now I had the spice level at extra hot, and you can imagine the disappointing surprise when I tasted more sweetness than spicy. That being said they do PACK that takeout container with food. Probably don’t have to eat much for the rest of the day.

Only speaking for the peanut pad thai I think Lai Thai should reevaluate...
