Lisu's Thai Taste is (mostly) a nice restaurant.
They have a wonderful assortment of Thai dishes, all of which for the most part are very flavorful and on par with Thai dishes from other restaurants. I have tried many of them and been satisfied with all of them. And all for an affordable price and big portion as well. However, I must say that occasionally the quality will not be the best. For example, the Pad Kee Mao is often flavorless, and the Massaman curry is sometimes far too watery, and the Pad Bai Krapao often lacks flavor too. And when you order something "with spice" it seems far too often that the "spice" is merely dumping a hefty amount of chili flakes on top of the dish at the end. But beyond these occurrences, everything is quite good.
The service is typically wonderful here, the employees are always so kind and nice to everyone in the establishment, and are always paying attention to caring for the customers in the restaurants. It's truly wonderful. Although, it's not always the fastest service. There's been plenty of times when takeout orders seem to take far too long, and are occasionally filled with incorrect items, even when the restaurant is not busy at all. But, the service for the most part is very nice.
The ambience is nice too, however it seems to almost be trying a bit "too hard" if you know what I mean. Apart from the typical beautiful Thai decor, there is a rainforest image simply plastered onto the wall, and looks out of place, with a single tv screen playing a constant image of a waterfall in the corner. It seems nice, but also unprofessional and over the top in a way too. Beyond those obscurities it is a nice, quiet restaurant at most times, apart from nights they are very busy.
All in all, Lisu is a nice establishment, and I recommend it if you're looking for some Thai food in the local area. Is it the best food? Not at all, and its quality can be rather unpredictable at times. It is still a nice place and I'm sure they will continue to do well.
