" I’ve been to many Thai places, but Chao Thai felt special. It’s genuine and authentic, from the dishes to the décor. I ordered the crispy duck bathed in curry sauce, which was heavenly. It had the perfect level of spice and a generous portion. The only downside is that it’s cash only, and it’s quite small inside, so you might have to wait during peak hours. A wonderful experience overall! " (*Curated Review*)

" As a huge fan of Thai food, I have to say that Chao Thai impressed me from the get-go with their unique offerings. The jungle curry was my highlight, perfectly spiced and rich in flavor. A bit on the pricey side compared to other spots, but the quality and portion size justify it. The ambience is cozy, but I wished for a little more space to breathe; it felt a bit cramped during rush hour. Overall a worthwhile experience with a friendly staff. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Chao Thai with a large group for dinner. The service was surprisingly quick, considering how busy they were. We tried multiple dishes, and all of them had great flavors. The beef sauced with basil was wonderful! However, the place is cash only, which was a bit inconvenient as nobody in our group had cash on hand. Nonetheless, the experience was delightful overall! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't say enough good things about this place! The Thai iced tea was refreshing and the pad Thai was flavorful with generous portions. The staff were polite, and the atmosphere cozy despite being small. I loved the family feel and how quickly the food was served. I recommend the mango sticky rice for dessert! Will definitely be back again! " (*Curated Review*)

" Chao Thai has a gym-like vibe with delicious Thai cuisine! Their green curry was incredibly rich and inviting. The service was swift, and it didn’t take long to get seated, even during the busy hours. The atmosphere is indicative of a local eatery, which I really appreciate. Will come highly recommended!

" I finally found my go-to Thai restaurant! The moment I walked into Chao Thai, I felt right at home. The atmosphere is cozy, and I was greeted with warm smiles from the staff. I tried the crispy duck salad, and it was hands down the best I've ever had. The balance of flavors was exquisite! I also had the jungle curry, which was authentically spicy. Don't skip dessert; their mango with sticky rice is a must-try. I can't wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Although it’s a tiny space, Chao Thai packs a real punch when it comes to flavors. The drunken noodles were perfectly cooked, and the portion was generous. Customer service was excellent; the staff took the time to recommend items that suited our preferences. Can't recommend it enough to anyone who enjoys bold, authentic flavors! " (*Curated Review*)
