" This restaurant is an absolute must for anyone craving authentic Thai fare. My first taste of their spicy basil chicken made my evening; it delivered on both spice and flavor. The staff was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and helped me pick the best dishes. I also appreciated their willingness to customize the spice levels. The cozy yet minimalistic dining area made it an enjoyable setting to eat in. I will definitely be back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a rather disappointing experience at 1st of Thai. While I was excited to try their acclaimed pho, it was just average. The broth lacked depth and the ingredients seemed basic compared to what I expect at an authentic Thai establishment. On the bright side, the service was attentive and friendly, which I appreciated. I think I might give it another chance in the future, as not every visit can be spot on. Overall, I give it a 3, leaning towards a better rating if I find it improves. " (*Curated Review*)

" Just finished a great meal at 1st of Thai! I was really impressed with their attention to detail in preparing the dishes. The pho was sublime, with rich flavors and fresh herbs. It felt like a piece of home. The prices are worth it for the quality. The only downside? The ambiance is a bit lacking; it feels like they haven't invested much in decor. Nevertheless, the food and service were top-notch. I’ll be recommending this place to my friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently visited 1st of Thai for dinner and was thoroughly impressed. The egg rolls were perfectly crisp, and the spicy seafood stir-fry had just the right kick. I was surprised by the generous portions, making it a good value for the price. Though the restaurant's decor is quite simplistic, the cozy feel and the aroma of spices make it feel authentic. Our server was polite and efficient, making our dining experience enjoyable. Definitely a place I'll return to. " (*Curated Review*)

" I wasn't a huge fan of the food here. The spring rolls tasted a bit stale, and the curry was overly spicy without much flavor. The service was friendly and prompt, however, which made the experience a bit better. I think I'll try somewhere else next time, unfortunately. " (*Curated Review*)

" Dined here last night and it was delightful. I had a spicy noodle dish that awoke my taste buds. The flavors melded together perfectly. The service was quick, and I was impressed by the friendly staff. The only disappointing aspect was the simple, no-frills decor of the restaurant. Overall, I would say great food, great service, but just an average atmosphere. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a somewhat bittersweet experience at 1st of Thai. My lunch was delicious—complemented by great service—but my spicy curry turned out to be excessively hot, overshadowing the other flavors. Nevertheless, I walked out satisfied with the overall experience. I would still try other menu items in future visits. " (*Curated Review*)
