" Dining at 1st of Thai was an experience in itself. From the moment I walked in, the friendly staff greeted me, making me feel welcome. I tried their red curry and it was among the best I’ve had outside of Thailand—rich, creamy, and full of flavor. They allow you to choose your spice level, which is a great feature for those who like to manage their heat. The mango sticky rice for dessert was the perfect ending. It reminded me of my travels with its authentic flavors. I'd highly recommend making a reservation, as it can get busy! Overall, this restaurant genuinely captures the essence of Thai cuisine and I can't wait to come back. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was intrigued by the hype around 1st of Thai, and finally made it for dinner last night. The beef laab was fresh and bursting with mint flavor, truly hitting the mark for authenticity. The service was impeccable with waitstaff who seemed genuinely happy to work there, which made for a pleasant dining experience. The inside of the restaurant, however, could use a bit more decoration to feel welcoming. I will definitely return for the food, maybe during lunch next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had another wonderful meal here! Their spicy fried rice was just the right level of heat. Super friendly staff who always seem happy to see returning customers. I love that they take spice levels seriously. The restaurant does seem quite simple in decor; it could use some sprucing up. Regardless, the food keeps me coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I'm a frequent visitor to 1st of Thai. Their curry dishes are consistently some of the best I've had! I've brought several friends who also rave about it. I love being able to select my spice level; I can go all out when I'm in the mood. The staff are always pleasant, and I appreciate how fast my meals come out. They have gained a loyal customer in me. " (*Curated Review*)

" The food here is fantastic! I was blown away by the authentic flavors, especially in the yellow curry. You can tell the ingredients are fresh and well-prepared. The only downside is the dim lighting and basic decor which makes it feel a little uninviting. Apart from that, this is a solid choice for a great meal! " (*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*)
