**Heng Tai Thai Restaurant: A Pork Lover's Paradise**If you're in the mood for Thai cuisine that tantalizes your taste buds, look no further. This gem offers a culinary journey worth savoring.I recently had the pleasure of dining at Heng Tai, and I must say, their pork dishes are a revelation. One standout dish that stole the show was their crispy yet tender pork. With each bite, I savored the delightful contrast of crispy outer layers, giving way to succulent, well-seasoned meat.The attention to detail in seasoning elevated the dish to new heights, showcasing the chef's mastery of flavor. Each bite was a harmonious blend of spices that danced on the palate, leaving a lingering satisfaction that kept me craving more.Beyond the pork, Heng Tai's ambiance and service were equally commendable. The cozy atmosphere and attentive staff enhanced the overall dining experience, making it a place I'll surely revisit.Whether you're a pork aficionado or simply seeking authentic Thai cuisine done right, Heng Tai Thai Restaurant exceeds expectations. Prepare to indulge in a culinary adventure that will leave you craving more.****

This review is just about the service the woman that worked yesterday provided. I have a colonoscopy coming up and I just wanted sticky white rice and a plain shrimp. (Like what you would get if you get shrimp pineapple fried rice, they give plain shrimp). I would've paid whatever price for it. I told this woman I can't have vegetables (or fruits) right now. She catches an attitude and pisses me off. I ended up getting the coconut shrimp with sticky white rice. And it had a freaking side of salad. Now why the hell would you have salad there if I said I can't have vegetables? She literally did not listen. I threw out that salad obviously, it was not eaten. But the fact that she didn't listen is what really ticked me off. Food is OK. I just wanted to go here because I thought they'd be accommodating. I would MUCH rather go to sweetgreen, hot pepper, chipotle, or other restaurants around here but because I'm low fiber right now I couldn't go to the other places listed. But yeah about $17 for 5 coconut shrimp with a salad + sauce and side of sticky white rice :). Will not buy food from here again.

No complaints. Ordered on DoorDash. A solid Thai food option with exactly what your expect. The pork drunken noodles were a tasty option. Wed order from here again.

Prepare yourself for a flavour-packed journey through authentic Thai cuisine. This spot isn't just another Thai restaurant; it's a gateway to tantalising tastes and aromatic delights that transport you straight to the heart of Thailand.From the moment you step in, the aroma of lemongrass, chilli, and exotic spices dances in the air, setting the stage for a culinary adventure. The menu? It's a treasure trove of traditional Thai dishes bursting with vibrant flavours and textures.Whether you're craving the tangy punch of Tom Yum soup, the comforting embrace of Pad Thai, or the aromatic allure of Green Curry, Heng Thai brings the essence of Thailand to your plate with every dish.But it's not just about the food; it's the attention to detail and authenticity that makes this place shine. The balance of sweet, sour, spicy, and savoury flavours is a testament to the chef's dedication to delivering an unforgettable dining experience.So, if you're longing for a taste of Thailand without the plane ticket, Heng Thai is the perfect spot to embark on a culinary escapade through the rich and diverse flavours of Thai cuisine.
The $12 lunch special is no longer available. The "lunch special" is now any full-priced dish with a free appetizer. The lunch menu at the counter is deceiving as there is no price listed. Also no longer offering discount when paying in cash. Chicken Pad Thai was bland & very few pieces of chicken. Paid over $17. Gave one extra star for courteous staff. Sorry this regular lunch customer won't be returning.

Would give it 0 stars if I could. The food isn't just gross but extremely overpriced. They don't make it from scratch it is premade and microwaved. Do not eat

I really love Thai foods, but the food at this restaurant I had was the worst Thai food I've ever had. I couldn't feel any taste. It was just a mildly sweet taste. The service level is under average, but the prices are high compared to the quality of service and food. It's a place I'll never go to again and not recommend visiting.

The food was horrible. Ordered 2 sesame chicken, there was no sauce, very dry and the chicken very musty, no flavor at all. Dont bother coming here.

They double charge taxes on their food! There's other options in the area, check them out instead.
