Thai Bistro

The food was delicious. I got drunken noodles and the sauce was perfect and the noodles weren’t over cooked. The atmosphere was excellent, it was perfectly lit and nice and quiet. The service was absolutely amazing. the food was delivered fast, and the servers were super kind.

Thai Bistro offers good quality Thai cuisine, the interior vibe and decorations are remarkable, it’s so cozy and iconic that you may feel it’s a restaurant belongs to downtown. The downside is that it’s slightly on the expensive side and also the portion is not as generous as it should be according to the price, so prepare to order a little bit more if you really want to fill your stomach.

First time for dinner here and it didnt disappoint. Druken noodle and papaya salad was so good. Right amount of spicy. Pad thai was excellent as well. Will definitely come back.

First time here! I got level 2 of 5 spice and could feel an enjoyable level of heat, felt my sinuses clear. Complimentary salad had delicious dressing and the Pad Thai had good flavor. Nice portion for the lunch special.

I had the yellow curry with tofu and it was delicious. Just the right amount of sweet and savory. A very generous portion of food too. For that alone I’m glad I didn’t get an appetizer because I wouldn’t have finished my plate. I’ll have to go back to try the fish balls. The server was so kind and the restaurant was clean and pleasant.

I had the best salmon green curry I've ever had in my life anywhere on Earth at this restaurant! And I've been to Thai restaurants all over the US and many countries. If you want to know what is the best tasting food for what you're looking for talk to your server Amy who is extremely helpful and humorous. I read on Google maps that she will treat you like family and that is certainly the case. My photos are of salmon Green Curry, the regular green curry and the vegetable medley. There were four summer rolls but we ate two before thinking about taking a picture cuz they were so good! Do not pass this place up because it is very tasty and even though you might read on other reviews that the portions are small it must have been because the food was so good they ate it faster than they thought. I highly recommend this place even though I live out of state and won't be back for a long time. I wish Thai bistro was in my town!!!

Food is really good. I lived in Thailand and they do a great job for Boise Thai food. The only complaint I have is the spice level is really inconsistent. My house normally orders a “2” and probably 60% of orders are at that level. The other 40% are pretty darn hot. Very different from what we normally get. It’s still good but if you don’t like heat, it’ll be hard to eat. When I get a super spicy order, I normally see a lot more pepper seeds in the dishes. That being said, solid Thai food option for a town that has a hard time getting good ethnic food.

Excellent food. We ordered appetizers for lunch. I will go again!

We have only ordered take out, but the dining area and bar are clean and well laid out. The foods is delicious and spicy (if you so choose!). Highly recommend. I will update once we get a chance to dine in.

Inside out: parking is easy, in a shopping complex at the end. The inside is modern decor but it gets loud fast as there doesn't seem to be much noise dampening from the design. If you have sensory issue with sound- bring loops or ear protection if it's busy. Service: Standard and nice! Food: Delicious! I did the pineapple curry as spicy as it could go and it wasn't too spicy for me, but I'm a monster. The portions are generous and the food tasted fresh! My family got sweet and sour something and said it was a little spicy for them but they are very low spice tolerance. Over all I say it's a great place, maybe not the best for a date when it's busy because conversations may be difficult, but it's clean and lovely!

would rate 6 stars if I could. the people are incredibly sweet and the food is amazing with good prices :)

Had food delivered. The crab rangoons were fine but nothing special. Ordered the pineapple fried rice. Good flavor, they put in shrimp which was not ordered and left out the beef. 2 people could not have due to the shrimp. Very disappointed

Wonderful food, warm and welcoming staff, great service. Nice, comfortable dining area. Easy parking.

We really enjoyed our food at this restaurant. They cooked it very quickly, and the owner even came out to greet us. Food tasted great. The lady who waited on us was very helpful. Definitely Two thumbs up.

Love the green curry with chicken and brown rice. A go-to favorite place to eat this comfort food close to home!

We went in about 45 minutes before closing thinking it could sour the experience. Couldn't be further from the truth. The team welcomed us right away and sat us in a booth of our choosing. Gave us ample time to order and didn't rush us at all. The food was out quickly and was piping hot, delicious, and precisely as described on the menu. They checked on us and got us our bill when we were ready. Great food. Great service. I look forward to going back again. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Big fan of their work. Great Pad Thai like delicious unbelievable delicious. Would recommend to a friend

Very enjoyable, green curry chicken, three stars for dinner at Thai Bistro. Tuesday night dinner had a small crowd. Place is clean and bright at the end of mall by the DQ. Green curry was creamy and packed full of flavor. More rice than many other places serve. Price was about $16 and well worth it! Will come again for sure!!

Never disappointed, love their combo papaya salad, fried chicken and sticky rice. So good. Thank you.

I've come to Thai Bistro every now and then, and I always enjoy the food here! The service is always good when I've been there and my meals have been quite dandy because I'm a fan of good Thai food! I hope to be back again soon.

Always good food and so fast for takeout. Everyone is always so nice as well, great service.

Decent Thai food. We mainly choose this place because it's nearby, but it's decent Thai food. Can't say I've had anything bad there.

This is the best Thai restaurant in Boise! The staff is friendly, the restaurant is extremely clean. The food is like you're traveling to Thai Land. The Red Curry was just as good as having it across the world. I will definitely be back! I give this place 5 stars! If you like Thai coffee don't skip the deliciousness!!

Great Thai food that is reasonably priced. This place has become my go-to for Thai, especially takeout. Their pad Thai is superb and so are the spring rolls- they even customized the rolls for me and it was all correct, which is rare with takeout these days.

Surprising little find in Boise! This spot is so tastefully decorated inside and feels nice and peaceful. The employees there were so kind and welcoming. I got their pad Thai with chicken lunch special, which also came with a salad. The pad Thai portion was so flavorful and delicious! And the portion was so big that I was able to take about half home to have for dinner. I'm definitely taking my mom here at some point as she is a huge fan of Thai food!

Just opened in the SE Boise location that has been graveyard for at least two, maybe three, other Thai restaurants in the eight years I've lived here, most recently Thai Basil. (The Meridian location of that brand is still open.) While touting itself as new Boise business, curious that their "About Us" on website speaks to a place where "people from all over San Francisco can meet..." Ooops. See below: "Thai Bistro was founded by a team of like-minded foodies; a group of friends who have always liked to eat, drink, and create amazing food together. Our hobby quickly led us to opening this Restaurant, a place where people from all over San Francisco can meet to enjoy our special dishes and comfortable atmosphere. Freshness and creativity are our favorite ingredients. Our menu is varied and the service is unmatched. If you're looking for a superb culinary experience, call us today to make a reservation!" The menu is relatively free of surprises and has good price points (about $10 to $20'ish) for the usual rundown of Thai options for American audiences in starters, soup, salads, curries, rice and noodle dishes. Most other Thai places in town are similarly structured. (Exceptions being Nahm Thai & Burmese (Park Blvd just off downtown offering extraordinary food and these mom n pop owners are also from SF), Mai Thai (downtown), Boise Thai Noodle House (west Boise off Chinden).) A nice surprise here is Kao Soi on the house specials menu, a Northern Thai (Burmese really) noodle dish that is not always found on menus. A good start. Some processes improvement wood to chop but that is so for any new eatery. There is an audience for them in this part of town. Hopefully they can make this location that has been unlucky for others lucky for them. ACCESSIBILITY: The parking lot has the same ADA non compliance problems as the predecessors but that is the strip mall owner's failure and not the restaurant's. All on one floor and accessible standard height seating inside.

This place is bomb. Had it both dine & on ubereats and both time, rocked my stupid world. The drunken noodle has a very good flavor and portion/prices are great. Service and vibe was very friendly & neighborhood spot energy so I'm here for it. This spot smokes the Pad Thai House

Delicious and good portion Authentic Thai food! The atmosphere is very welcoming, very friendly staffs. I am adding Thai Bistro to my favorite Thai restaurant!

Fantastic soups! And the satay was perfect; very moist not dried out. One of the best Thai restaurants I been to

Best Thai in Boise. Shrimp dumplings are great. Beef Penang curry was fantastically flavorful with the right amount of heat, and of course the pad Thai is delicious.

Absolutely wonderful curries! The menu gives you lots of choices and options. The food is fresh, seasoned just perfectly. The Pad Thai is great. The staff are very friendly and welcoming.

Sooooo good!!! Every thing I've ordered from Thai Bistro has been so flavorful and I've had zero complaints! I ordered everything at spice level 3 and it was perfect for me. Spicy enough to have a kick but not over powering the flavors. I've only done takeout but the workers have been very friendly and our order has consistently been done on time. This is my go to Thai restaurant :)

Came in here for lunch with a colleague. The decor and service were acceptable. The place was clean, so that was good. I'm still determining what kind of Thai food this is, but it's more on the Chinese side per how the Cashew nut Chicken was prepared. The lunch special was affordable, and they give you a "free salad." The cashew nut chicken was super chewy, and it was fried. It was soaking in a thick brown sauce with a couple of cashews. It was different from what a typical Thai dish would taste or look like. I will have to give it another try, but there are so many other great Thai places around. It will be a bit before I am back.

Unassuming from the outside, but inside fabulous service and food await. The summer rolls were particularly tasty. Happened to visit on their one (?) year anniversary and was treated to a discount and coconut ice cream. Clean restrooms.

Excellent food! Pad Thai, drunken noodles, house friend rice, Tom Kai soup and orange chicken. We will be back! Open spacious dining area and insanely fast service! Highly recommend!

This place hasn't been open too long, so they've got some logistics to work out, but our plates were yum! Excited to have another good Thai place in town since the Thai Basil that was here before was a bit of a let down at times. Friendly staff and were super apologetic about the wait, because this place was hoppin' last night both inside and with to go orders. I hope they stay, and I give them a better review because I hadn't even heard about this place. There are a few new places in town that are all about talking themselves up that leave you with a stiff bill and mediocre eats. I would rather be pleasantly surprised than disappointed!

New Year's dinner at Thai bistro was very enjoyable. The food was excellent. Green curry and pad see ew were ordered. Green curry was nice and spicy. Large portions made for excellent leftovers. The service was attentive and quick. The restaurant was very clean and the booths were comfy. Will return soon.

Second consecutive day here, had the Tom Yum first then the Beef Pho Today, very authentic taste, love the food,atmosphere and the waiters are awesome, recommend highly

This place is very nice! I tried the red curry and it was delicious! Excellent flavor. The vegetables were fresh and still al dente. The service, as always, was very good. They didn't even mind me just sitting with a glass of water after my lunch.

Awesome Thai choice for takeout - always super hot and fresh when delivered, plus some of the best Thai flavors in Boise! affordable and great portions for each item. Love the panang and all the spice levels you can choose from!

My new favorite Thai place. The black pepper (filet and asparagus) blew my mind. It's my new go to plate. The restaurant is clean, the seats are spread out, and the food is incredible so far. I'm going to have to try some Pad Thai or something, although the filet was so good I'm reluctant to try anything else. Give it a shot! You won't regret it.

Drunken Noodle so yum. Not too spicy for my bum. Sweet staff, so very nice. I recommend the Curry with rice.

Every time we dine at Thai Bistro it's an excellent experience. Yesterday we had Pad Woon Sen and House Fried Rice. So delicious! And for desert, we had Mango with Sweet Sticky Rice. We always look forward to mango season for this dish. If it's available, you must try it! The service was very good. The restaurant and bathrooms very very clean. And the ambiance is nice and soothing.

Bad. I ordered drunken noodles, via Uber eats, on 3/2. It is my first meal at this place, but I heard some nice things about it. The order arrived and it was an extremely dry pile of wide noodles. It was extremely dry, with only a couple specs of red pepper and that baby corn- and felt like jelly inside. It felt to me like something was forgotten... sauce maybe? Anyway, the highlight of my take out order ($31) was a side of steamed veggies. I'd never consider going back. I've had Thai food all over the country. If this is the best around here (I read this) it's pretty sad. And they're closed on Sundays. ?

Still too expensive for what you get. Came in tonight for $46 of takeout (2 entrees & a single drink, w/tip) and the waiting area is full of people who'd been waiting almost an hour for carryout orders (30-45min beyond what was stated online). Ours is currently ~20min late. They close in 20min. Wondering if we'll get any food before they shut down the kitchen. Won't be coming back here - the food is good, but absolutely not worth it.

This is the most authentic Thai Restaurant in Boise so far. Well thought out menu with wide variety . We loved the flavors and the level of heat. Great selection of beers and wine. Definitely will go again and must try the PHO ! Thanks to our pickleball awesome ladies.

This is a fantastic new addition to SE Boise. The service was top notch and matched by wonderful food. The food not only tasted well, but was beautifully presented.

I really want to give Thai Bistro a 4 star rating because the food is good! But they will have to get their act together on service. It took an hour to get our food because they're cranking out so many takeout orders and they are understaffed-- on a Wednesday night.

I've been waiting over a year to get a chance to try this out. I stopped on the way home from skiing to get take out. I ordered the Yellow Curry, Pineapple Fried Rice, and the Pad Thai Noodles. Probably one of the best Thai places in the valley, and well worth the wait!

I have loved everything I have ordered. Green Curry, Red Curry, Panang Curry, Pineapple fried rice, Chicken Pad Thai and Yum Woon Sen. But the coconut ice cream and sweet sticky rice is HEAVENLY! I grew up having my grandmother's coconut hand churned ice cream, and thought nothing could beat that. But the toasted bits of coconut add such depth of flavor, and the sticky rice is wonderful. One of the best desserts I've ever had.

This place is not a good place. The service is a mess and the food not cooked properly. My wife waited for 45 minutes for her meal that was just warm and some of the ingredients were added later. My meal came out 30 minutes later. By that time my wife was just done with this place. I had them bag my dinner, took it home ate half of it and threw the rest away. The owner offered to reimburse me and to this date Gene has not followed through. Bad place from the owner down to the staff.

this place really does a nice job, my waitress was super friendly and attentive. i love spicy food, ordered the Thai Basil beef, Thai hot and it did not disappoint. free salad with the lunch special and a hot tee rounded out the meal, very reasonably priced for what you get and a good value. will for sure be back

Had lunch at Thai Bistro and it was very good. Had green chicken curry which was well done. My friend had the Drunken Noodle, and he enjoyed it. Took home an order of the General Chicken which was very good. Definitely will be returning.

Passing through Boise on our motorcycles and wanted some Thai. We found Thai Bistro and was greeted by Amy. And she was so friendly and helpful. Had three items. The fresh spring rolls with tofu were the best I have had and the peanut sauce so flavorful. Than the Mahi Mahi and Massaman Curry was truly exceptional. The Mahi Mahi, cooked to perfection, delivered a burst of fresh flavors that perfectly complemented its tender texture. The Massaman Curry, on the other hand, was a true masterpiece. Its harmonious blend of aromatic spices and creamy coconut milk created a symphony of taste that was both rich and balanced. The infusion of flavors was masterfully done, and the spice level was precisely on point, adding a delightful kick without overwhelming the palate. Both dishes showcased the chef's expertise in creating a culinary journey that was not only delicious but also a celebration of the senses. A must-try for anyone seeking an unforgettable dining experience. When passing through Boise, will make sure to dine at Thai Bistro again!

Ate here last night with a bigger group (7 people). Overall food was delicious and reasonably priced. Everyone loved their dishes! Massaman Curry and the Pad Thai was biggest hit for our group. My major complaint that dropped Thai Bistro from a 5 to a 4 star was their customer service. While the staff was very friendly, they seemed to not have enough staff. The restaurant is a decent size and only two servers for the whole place on a Saturday night!! Luckily we were not in a rush and didn't mind waiting a bit given how delightful our food was...though after over 2 hours there (with over an hour being waiting I am sure) we kinda just wanted to head home. Would like to enjoy the food again from here, but may go the to go order route next time to avoid sitting there forever.

Excellent service. Best Thai food I've had in ages. Highly recommend this local neighborhood restaurant.

I have to say hands down the best Thai in the Boise area. Amy is always on the spot. Amazing service, food is always fresh and hot. Very convenient in the small strip mall
