Thai-Li-Ba

The Thai dishes were not authentic Thai kitchen. We ordered: papaya salad, coconut soup, pineapple fried rice and beef curry. Papaya salad was lacking the fish sauce flavour. The beef used in the beef curry was dry and hard, curry sauce was not absorbed in the meat. Coconut soup did only have the coconut flavour, nothing more. Only the fried rice was ok. Presentation of food was ok, but that is the only positive aspect. It was basically a wok restaurant run by Chinese people. Based on the price per dish you would expect more.

As a Thai person, the food is not authentic Thai Food, it’s more like Chinese. The dishes were very salty. Very Big portion. Staffs are very helpful and kind.

Great food, generous portions, extremely good natured, friendly staff. Was an excellent dinner spot for a Friday night. The papaya salad with a good amount of prawns and the satay were amazing starters and the next time we will try the sharing platters for 2. For mains, we had the Duck with red curry and Prawns with Masamam curry, both were fantastic and the portions were hard to finish. Highly recommended!

The food was too expensive for the size of the dishes. Plus it was not good at all. I ordered a Tom Kha Kai and it was very disappointing. Tasted to sweet, half of the ingredients were hard to chew, the consistency was too liquid and there were only few mushrooms and lesser chicken

I was disappointed to find a mistake in the menu. I don’t eat fried food, so I was glad to see “baked prawns” listed. However, when the dish arrived, it turned out to be fried. I asked the waiter, and he said it was a translation error—but no one informed me when I placed my order. He didn’t apologize or offer to replace the dish, which made the experience even more frustrating.

Ate twice in this restaurant. The food quality is great but it can get pricey. Around 7 euro for 2 spring rolls (was hoping for 3). The shared platter was around 11 euro per person. We spent around 112 euro for 3 persons at the end.

Quick efficient service and clean venue. Tasty dishes with mild spice. Large portion sizes, can easily share each main dish between two people.

this is a blend of Thai and Chinese, I initially assumed it is Thai. The food is tasty and has good flavour, less vegetarians options. A bit salty for chicken dishes which I ordered. The waiters and chefs can accommodate customisations, we wanted to have kung pao thai than any other item listed.

This place is passable, but not great. Obviously it's probably difficult to find great Asian food in Europe. We got something that was supposed to be pad thai and then another noodle dish and some vegetables that were stir fried. Everything was edible but not great. The best dish was the tom yum soup. I would say if you're craving Thai food this will kind of hold you over. I do have to say that the food was not greasy though which is a huge plus. If I needed to, I would eat here again.

This review is for Thai-Li-Ba in the Rathausgalerien Having read some of the other reviews of this restaurant, I have to wonder whether I have been dining in the same restaurant! This restaurant serves some of the nicest thai food I've had - albeit perhaps a little 'toned down' to suit the European palate. Dishes described as 'scharf' are far from it! My only criticism is that I'd like things a little hotter, with a little more galangal and lemongrass where they're part of the dish, but I understand that the way the chefs prepare the dishes would suit the majority of people who dine here. The Thai Green Curry with Duck is an absolute highlight, as are the Grill Spiessen with Satay sauce as a starter, or the lightly battered coconut prawns with mango dip. For those who can't take any spice, the Indonesian Chicken Curry with Chinese Red Dates is lovely too. The Mai Thai cocktail is fab, but very potent! Thai Li-Ba is always busy - particularly on a Saturday night or on lovely summer days when you can sit outside on the terrace. Book ahead if you're thinking of having a meal here at these times. Service is great here - a couple of the waiters are particularly friendly and go out of their way to ensure you have a nice experience and enjoy your meal. The open kitchen is fun, and the decor in general is modern and stylish. A perfect choice for a meal with friends, family, or a first date. (Mains around 10-20 euros, starters 5 euros)

Just ok, the food was okay. The service was nice though. The Tom Kai soup was too bitter and not well balanced IMO. The glass noodles in my salad were not see through and chewy and instead a murky mushy white, and again overly sour without enough balance of sweet and salty. The Shrimp Pad Thai was decent. I cannot recommend.

Ich war vom Thai-Li-Ba enttäuscht. Es war mir als äußerst originell und gut empfohlen worden. Die Kokossuppe war zwar sehr gut, dafür war der Teller nicht sauber, was meinen Appetit stark dämpfte. Das Hühnerfleisch in meiner Hauptspeise war hart, zäh und geschmacklos, also offenbar zu schnell und bei zu großer Hitze gebraten. Das Coconut Smoothie war gut. Alles in allem finde ich die Tischdekoration sehr nüchtern und minimalistisch, die einsehbare Küche direkt im Restaurant nicht unbedingt appetitanregend und die Preise wesentlich zu hoch.

I do not recommend. Sat at a table outside and were told after my husband left for the bathroom that the table was reserved - yet no sign on the table. We were asked to pick a table in the inside dining room which we did. I ordered a Cuvée and received a chardonnay. The food was good, but it took over 30 min to receive our bill after the dishes were cleared away. It's almost 9pm at night and the customers are dwindling down, should not have taken so long to receive the bill. The next table were seated, had their order placed, and received their food before we were acknowledged sitting there with empty drink glasses.

This place is relatively new in the area (about 5 years old) but serves some of the best Thai food I have ever had. It is of the style of Wagamama and those other noodle chains in the fact that the kitchen is central and open and you can watch the 10 or so cooks getting to work. The staff are efficient but often a little unsmiling and keen to get you in, fed and out again. The menu however is very good and mains are around 10 euros but you'll need to add rice to the price. Not as cheap as some of the other thai places in Innsbruck due to the location this place occupies in a trendy shopping mall but it's worth the extra as a one off now and then. You can even sit outside in good weather.

Good Asian food, a bit busy atmosphere, often crowded

I got sick with their Tom-ka-gai soup, cononut milk wasn't fresh. Extremely overpriced for the quality of the food (average).

We discovered this restaurant by pure chance some years ago. One of our best finding ever!!! Excellent and friendly service. Outstanding food. We tried about everything possible now including soup and were never disappointed. Decoration is fine. You can see your meal being prepared in front of you in real time. Car park directly below the restaurant which is located in the Rathausgalerie. Reservation is highly recommended especially on Friday and Saturday and during holidays. Please note that the title for this restaurant is wrong on this site !!! You should read "Thai-Li-Ba, Innsbruck" instead of "Thai-Li-Ba, Inspruck" ... even though Insprucke was the ancient name of Innsbruck.

I like the food, but the service is a real problem. One of the waiters (probably the head waiter, age 30-40, bald, tall) is extremely unfriendly, sometimes even offending, if you ask him something. That's a no-go for me... It's a pity because the kitchen is very good, in my opinion..
