" I recently celebrated my birthday at Planet Thai with family and they handled our large group gracefully. Each dish was hot, fresh, and full of flavor. The red curry was the star of the show! The wait was a bit longer than I expected, especially during peak hours, but the food made up for it. A huge thanks to the staff for making the occasion special! " (*Curated Review*)

" The dishes served at Planet Thai remind me of my trip to Thailand! The flavors are fresh and amazing. I could just live off their green curry. The atmosphere may not be lavish, but the taste is outstanding! Service has always been friendly and accommodating. I can't recommend it highly enough if you want authentic Thai fare. " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, I'm a bit disappointed. I had heard so much hype about this place, but my Pad Thai was bland and lacked the texture and spice you’d expect. The noodles didn't have that signature chewiness. I noticed some other tables receiving better dishes, so maybe it was just my bad luck. The atmosphere feels a bit dated, but the service was decent. I might give it another try, hoping for better results next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" The food at Planet Thai is incredible! They have mastered the balance of flavors, especially in their curries. The portions are satisfying too! The only downside is the inconsistent wait times; sometimes it's quick, other times it takes longer. But I would still recommend it every time for great food at a fair price. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're looking for authentic Thai, Planet Thai is the place to be! The flavors are vibrant and the dishes feel homemade. The service staff is warm and welcoming. The only downside would be the wait time during busy hours. Order the Drunken Noodles if you want a dish that truly delivers on spice and flavor! " (*Curated Review*)

" Planet Thai definitely has potential. I enjoyed the panang curry, which was rich and creamy, but I thought the spice levels were underwhelming. The service was pretty good, but the place could be more inviting in terms of décor. Worth a visit if you're in the area, just don't expect the traditional spice levels! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was disappointed in my recent visit. The Pad Thai had a strange, overly sweet taste and the service was quite slow. The ambiance could use a refresh as well. I've had better meals there before, and I hope they can get back to that standard. I might return to give it another shot. " (*Curated Review*)
