Chiang Mai Thai, Boise, Idaho Restaurant Details

Food:

Great food, good service. This is the best Thai food I have found since moving to Boise 5 years ago.

Food:

I love this place. Have eaten here since I moved here over 12 years ago. Will always go here as long as I live here. Try the sizzling beef with straw mushrooms and the sticky rice!!!

Food:

My "go to Thai food".
I love the taste of their steamed tofu in their curries. Tried them all. Toss up between the green and red curry.
Food is fresh not greasy.

Food:

Used to be my very very favorite restaurant, but I'm downgrading it. I'll explain in a bit.

The positives:
Great menu selection
Decent lunch prices for the portion size
Every dish I've ever had is very flavorful. Favorites include the Mongolian Beef, Chow Mein, Pad Prik King, Pad Prik Pow, Green Curry, Pad Thai, Massuman Curry, Happy Family....the list goes on.

I think their pad thai and fresh rolls are the best in town.

Improving:
Water service has gotten better over the years, although the ice cubes are too big. I know a little picky but when they have to refill your glass of water 6 times on a spicy dish because they won't leave a pitcher of water on the table and you only get about 4 oz at a time, it's a little irritating.

Negatives
OK - 10 years ago when they redid the restaurant it looked great. Then they put in a divider and repainted and it looked great. But now when I look around, it's starting to look like the neighborhood.
BIG MARKER grafitti in the men's restroom
Dirty grease prints on the doors, lightswitches, everywhere
Equipment stored in the bathroom.
A big bottle of dishwashing soap on the bathroom counter. Self serve please.
Greasy marks on the wall next to the table and paint peeling terribly
When you paint a wall next to booths, you should probably move them away from the wall. So that when they inevitably slide, you don't see that you didn't paint the wall under the booth back.

Unfortunately, although the food is still rave worthy, I'm almost more willing to go to Mai Thai downtown for the atmosphere or Taste of Thai a couple miles away which is simply decorated, but sparkling clean.

Food:

This place has been our favorite for years. The staff has always been wonderful and the food is the best Thai in town. I live their soups and their spicy noodle is the best. Ever!
