" I don’t usually comment on restaurants, but Baan Thai deserves commendation! This is my go-to for Thai food whenever I'm in the area. The flavors are just incredible, everything from their green curry to the tom yum soup had such depth and freshness. The service is always fast and friendly. Plus, I love that they have several vegetarian options that maintain authentic flavors without using fish sauce. A must-visit for anyone who enjoys Thai cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" Baan Thai has become a favorite for my family and me. The food is always fresh, and the flavors are vibrant. I particularly enjoy the drunken noodles, as they have the perfect bite. Service was attentive yet unobtrusive, and we appreciated how they could accommodate dietary restrictions easily. The ambiance leaves something to be desired, but it’s cozy enough to make us feel comfortable. Will continue to visit frequently! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're craving Thai food and are near Vandalia, Baan Thai is well worth the stop. The menu is extensive, showcasing traditional dishes that truly reflect Thai culinary culture. My partner and I shared a couple of dishes, including the seafood basil and green curry. Both had distinct flavors and generous portions that left us full and satisfied. The service was delightful—our server checked in regularly without being intrusive. A bit of a decor update wouldn't hurt to make it more inviting, but overall, a wonderful dining experience!

Both dishes were fresh and exceeded my expectations. The restaurant was busy, but our server remained attentive and friendly throughout. Portions were generous. I can't recommend this place enough if you love Thai food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I stumbled upon Baan Thai during a road trip, and it was an amazing find. The staff was incredibly welcoming, and the food was authentic. I tried the Panang curry and pad Thai, and they were both full of flavor. What really stood out was their willingness to customize my dish according to my spice preference. The portions were generous too! Don't miss the Thai iced tea, it perfectly complemented the meal. Highly recommend this place if you're driving through Vandalia! " (*Curated Review*)

" Baan Thai is an absolute gem of a restaurant! We went there for dinner not expecting much in such a small town, but boy were we surprised. The ambiance is charming albeit simple, but the food is where this place shines. We ordered the crab rangoon and the Massaman curry that melted in our mouths. What impressed me was the authentic flavors that reminded me of Thailand, unlike many other ‘Thai’ restaurants that I’ve visited. The dessert was complimentary for our birthday celebrations, which added a very personal touch. I will definitely recommend Baan Thai to anyone traveling through. " (*Curated Review*)
