" I wouldn't call this place the best Thai in Charlotte. The food was just okay, and the authenticity seemed lacking. I’ve had much better dishes at other Thai places in the area. However, the service was excellent and really attentive, and I appreciate that. Overall, I’d say it's worth a visit, but don't go in with high expectations. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you’re looking for authentic Thai food with fantastic service, this is the place! The staff is incredibly friendly and the food is bursting with flavors. I particularly loved their basil fried rice; the portions were generous, and I could easily share it with another person. Overall, highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for good Thai food! " (*Curated Review*)

" It took me a while to find a great Thai restaurant in Charlotte, but I think I’ve finally found it at Rai Lay Thai. I had the Kao Soi, and it reminded me of my travels through Thailand! The noodles were delightful, and the broth was rich and satisfying. The only downside was that it took a little longer for the food to arrive than I would have appreciated, but it was still worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a mixed experience here. The ambiance is lovely, and service was pretty good, but the Massaman curry was a letdown. It was too sweet for my liking and didn’t have the depth of flavor I expected. I ordered it very spicy, but I felt it lacked enough heat. I may return to try something else, but this dish will not have me rushing back. " (*Curated Review*)

" We were really excited about trying Rai Lay but ended up disappointed. The food lacked authenticity, and the flavors just weren’t vibrant enough for a Thai restaurant. The decor was nice and service was friendly, but they really need to step it up in the kitchen. I don't think we'll be returning soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" My friends and I stopped for lunch and found the place to be charming. The atmosphere feels authentic, and the service was exceptional. I had the basil chicken, which was flavorful, but I felt it could use a tad more spice. Also, the portions were decent, just enough for lunch. I'd recommend it for a casual meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" Tried their lunch special, the Pad Thai, and it was a solid meal. I genuinely didn’t find it too unique, but it was decent. Service was quick and polite, which is always appreciated. The atmosphere is a nice touch as well. It’s not the best Thai I’ve had, but it’s worth checking out now and again. " (*Curated Review*)
