Rai Lay Thai south Blvd

Greatest restaurant on earth if they would start putting forks in to go orders.

I love coming here for Thai, but had a really bad experience last time. Do not use their website to order pickup. I placed an order, it said it did not go through, so I placed another order. When arriving at the restaurant they had two orders for me, had charged me twice, and refused to give me a refund even though it was their system's issue. My $25 lunch turned to a $50 lunch.

Intimate space. Delicious food. Friendly staff. I had the Lad Na[h] gravy noodles with tofu and veggies. Could have had more tofu and veggies, but this was a very tasty dish, and the sauce was excellent. The serving was very generous and I was only able to eat about 1/4 or 1/3 of it.

Would give them 6 stars but they're not open on Mondays and with the amount of times I've forgotten that and tried to order anyway, at this point, I should sue for emotional damages.

The service and atmosphere were great. The food was good but reminded me of a super modern take on Thai food. I ordered shrimp Pad See Ew and it had carrots and broccoli which seemed weird. I was looking for something more traditional.

Portions have decreased significantly! $18 for what was supposed to been dinner which was no more than a lunch portion.

Everyone was very nice and the food was delicious! The papaya salad was the best I’ve ever had and the green curry noodle soup was okay. The drunken noodles were fantastic and the mango sticky rice dessert was phenomenal! The warm rice, cold ice cream on top, tart mango, and condensed milk was out of this world. The waiter checked in often to refill water, brought boxes and food quickly, answered questions, and was very hospitable!

The waiter and hostess were incredibly kind and patient, came to check in often, and was very knowledgeable. Food came out quickly and it was the best Thai food I’ve ever had. The papaya salad and drunken noodles with chicken and shrimp were so amazing! I’m definitely coming back and I’m so happy that I found this restaurant.

I can for Dine in at 8:15 pm on a sunday. I was told they only have takeout because of deep cleaning on sunday.

Now I understand you might need to close early for that, but considering you close at 9:30 pm, thats over an hour before your closing time.

Thing is I had called around 7 pm, asking for a reservation. They said it is “first come, first served”, which is entirely fine. But the staff should have taken care to inform about the earlier closing time.

Whoever among the staff answers that call should have the awareness to forewarn customers, especially when closing more than an hour early.

Hope that changes, but otherwise I have heard all good things.

I arrived to the restaurant at 8:30 pm with my girlfriend. There was a sign on the door that stated, their dining room was closed at 8:15. We could only place a to-go which was fine.

We asked to see a menu, and then asked if the fried rice can be made without butter and egg. The hostess checked with whomever and then she told us that it could be made with out egg but not butter. Apparently they cook everything with butter…even the vegetables.

However, their menu has a vegan and GF menu available upon request. This was not given to us considering that I’m vegan. It felt as if they were just trying to rush us out the door. Plus she mentioned they had to clean the floors.
