Taste Of Thai Restaurant

Usually great!. We've been to the Taste of Thai many times. We are grateful, though, that they ask you what level of spice you can handle (we always say "not spicy", because sometimes it's still a little spicy.) But, we've always gone for supper in the past. Recently we went at lunch and were surprised that the portions were much smaller. We like to eat family style where everybody shares, but there was not enough to share really.

So, go for supper. But the food tastes great anytime! =)…

I feel Morally obligated to mention.... After being a very good customer of Taste of Thai for several years, my wife was served food which was clearly bad. Everyone at the table agreed as we smelled it too! To give them some props, they offered to replace the dish, but understandably she had lost her apatite and just asked they take it back.

When it came time to pay I noticed the offending dish was on the ticket. Pointing their mistake out they refused to remove it from the bill. Not to make a scene we left the restaurant having paid for bad food which was obviously not eaten!

I always had found the employees there a little off-hand, but this was ridiculous. Needless to say, we no longer eat there.

As a footnote, I should mention that this is the only time my wife has ever sent anything back in a restaurant.…

Best Thai in Knoxville... maybe anywhere. Seriously... I travel around the US for business and their food takes the cake. I chuckled when I read the con of, "No room for dessert" because I've ate there atleast 100 times (Yes, seriously) and I've had dessert once I can remember. My friend and I made up the "Taste of Thai Challenge" You have to eat there once a day for a week... we beat the challenge (Twice).

If you think I am exaggerating any of this, eat there. The service is AMAZING, you receive your food in uner 10 minutes when its slow and under 20 when its busy. Thats another thing... over the 4 years that I've been going there, I've watched the business grow. We use to go in on a Friday night and sit down right away. Now there is sometimes a short wait for a table. Part of me almost doesn't want you to go because I want my table:-p.

First thing you must order is the Drunken Noodle. The dinner portion is so large that you have to make sure you don't eat before hand... or you won't finish it. My ONLY problem ever was with a new waiter who didn't put in my soup as spicy as I wanted it. I had a friend come in who doesn't like spicy food so I had them lower the spiciness of my soup (Which I had just ordered) and the waiter said, "Don't worry, I told them to make it a 3." The spiciness ranges from 1-5 and Thai hot... I had ordered a 5. I was unhappy about this... but for that to be the WORST thing that has happened to me in 100+ visits, I am quite pleased.

If you think I'm lying about going over there 100 times... find out if I'm in Knoxville and go to Taste of Thai... I'll be there. My last 2 day visit had 3 trips to Taste of Thai.

Pros - SPICY! (If you want) Fast service, Beautiful women, Amazing service, Amazing food, Fresh ingredients, Home owned feel, New Flat screen TV in main room, Quiet restaurant, Large portions, Across the street from Best Buy, Near West town mall.

Cons - You can't stop eating... I've overate a few times... ALWAYS FINISH YOUR PLATE!…
