Thai Kitchen on 33rd. East Moon Bistro if you’re willing to venture down to Lehi.

I wouldn’t even feel comfortable asking someone about their sexual proclivities with humans, let alone this.

Although I've seen some disagree, I think the SLC has several good Thai places.

Sawadee -- Downtown area, draws a more upscale crowd. Seems like solid food, more refined vs more of a home cookin' type place. They don't ask how spicy you want stuff, or at least didn't when I went. Some things on the menu are just listed as spicy. I thought some of their stuff was really good and some pretty underwhelming.

Here's my Yelp! review of Sawadee

New Thai Cafe -- This has been my family's goto Thai place. It's close enough to our house and it has been very consistently good for many years.

Thai Delight -- Very nice fresh flavors but I think they use a different spice scale for white folks or this place just doesn't go too far with the spice. I order a 5 (their highest level) and it's not hardly spicy at all for me. I do see a lot of older customers so maybe that's their market.

Here's my Yelp! review of Thai Delight

Mekong Cafe -- Really nice place that's been around a long time, easily since the very early 90s. This is their third location but they've always been in Midvale.

Tuk Tuk's -- I just recently discovered this place and I've only been once, but I was really impressed. I need a few more visits to make the call but I think they're my favorite.

Thai Star -- Not going to say much, it's out of my way and not a place I seek out when I want Thai food.

Dee Garden -- One of the newest places on the list. They have both really good and pretty disappointing so far but maybe they will figure it out.

Gee thanks @Gameface now I have to rush to get this spreadsheet done because I spent an hour reading your dumb reviews.


Good stuff by the way, and great reviews, well-thought-out and well-written. Would read again.

You are inspiring me. My wife and I are now empty nesters, in fact empty-nesters-from-the-entire-state since not one of our kids even lives in California. So as a result, we have some disposable income we never really had on this level before, and we love eating at restaurants and trying new things in general so we have wanted to start a blog or doing reviews or something and ferreting out the hole-in-the-wall joints all over the LA area and write about them. I'm looking forward to it. This weekend we are planning to go to a persian place in Anaheim that will probably be our first joint review. Using your reviews as inspiration on how to remark effectively on the establishment. Thanks @Gameface !
