Great venue for authentic Thai food with courteous and prompt service and accommodation when we needed to order a take out dish because my mom couldn’t join us to celebrate Father’s Day. Presentation was wonderful and we will be back soon as we have family gatherings!

“Ordered for carry out today.”
Ordered for carry out today. Food is great and what an excellent customer service. I went in to collect my order, the man at the checkout was not only super nice but also offered me some extra sauce. I love their vegetable dish and fried egg rolls🥰

Nice thai restaurant place in arlington height and close to train station. The food is delish. We tried the spring rolls, pad thai, shrimo fried rice, cucumber salad, crab rangoon. It was good. Love it. Would comeback again to try another dish

“The food was very tasty.”
The food was very tasty. I got the Panang curry, and my husband got the garlic chicken. The portion size was great for the price, and the spices were on point. It wasn't just the food though, the staff was also very friendly and attentive.

“We have been going to this restaurant for years.”
We have been going to this restaurant for years. Their food quality have consistently been great. Last year they were only doing carry out and delivery but now they have opened up completely. We dined in here after over a year. This place gets very busy so recommend making reservations before going otherwise you will be waiting for a while. They have limited staff so service can be slow but they try to be efficient.. The food is consistently delicious and comes in good quantity. We always start with cucumber salad and spring rolls that comes with sweet plum sauce. Their pad thai has good amount of peanuts and topped with strip of beet root. Pat se eew is very soft and delicious. Overall a great place to eat and happy that their dine is now open.

“Alt Thai has been one of our favorite restaurants.”
Alt Thai has been one of our favorite restaurants. We went for dinner tonight and were pleasantly surprised to see they had expanded and changed the decor. Beautiful ambience and of course, the food was delicious !! We ordered veggie egg rolls, red curry with tofu, and pad kee mao.

“The food was tasty.”
The food was tasty. The dishes are pretty big sized. The prices are very reasonable for the quality of the food they serve. Kids friendly, but some kids were at the restaurant playing and a bit loud, and the staff looked irritated and even told them not to misbehave. Parking is available, but can be limited depending on the time and the day
