Reviews

I'm a fan of Thai food, and as expected for someone in the Reno area, I've already reviewed a few restaurants that fill this niche. Up to now, only Bangkok Cuisine and Thai Chili were worth mentioning. A Taste of Thai changes all of this, and earns my highest praise. In full disclosure, I've visited A Taste of Thai only twice, both times for dinner. 

It is my opinion that A Taste of Thai offers all the things any good Thai food restaurant should: clean facility, authentic food, and prompt service. The menu is very large with color photos and original dish names, so you might be overwhelmed. I start every meal with their chicken satay or Lakeside Rolls (fresh spring rolls), and chase with a Thai iced tea in a big glass. 

Because of their location, A Taste of Thai is never packed. I've been there for dinner on a Friday evening, making a total of four tables seated. Because they're removed from the downtown area, clearly location has had an impact on their business level. If you want to enjoy your meal without the packed crowd that fills some restaurants, A Taste of Thai is your place. 

The decor is very upper-end Thai, and the restaurant is immaculate. Colored cloth napkins and nicer utensils make the difference, and set the mood. The fact that they're tucked away in a secluded Lakeside shopping center makes this location a best keep secret. 

I've had two meals myself with others, and we have all raved about the food. The menu items aren't made to be as mainstream as I've seen elsewhere, but they'll prepare anything you explain (replacing onion for basil, for example). The portions are very good, and you'll be fat and happy by the time you leave. 

The prices at A Taste of Thai are very reasonable. They don't try to offer the least expensive meal in town, but their prices are actually as-good or better than my favorite Thai restaurant. A dinner for two with appetizer and drinks usually settles in the mid-$30 range before tip. 

Overall, A Taste of Thai is enough to earn my nod and become my new favorite. Sure, Bangkok Cuisine and Thai Chili still have a place for me, but I (now) consider A Taste of Thai to be the benchmark for Thai food in Reno, with an overall rating of 5 stars.

This is one of the weakest Thai restaurants.  Flavors are pretty bland in the dishes I've tried.  I do like some good heat, but balanced with flavor.  They can't seem to find that balance here.  The last time I ordered Kee Mao, it was hot, and tasted oily. The entree portions are smaller than the other Thai restaurants (I haven't tried the lunch specials so can't speak to those portion sizes).

My god that was good. We just finished our meal and we're both stuffed and ready to be mounted. Service was prompt and excellent, Evan was our waitress. And the food spectacularly flavorful. 

We started with the Tom Kha coconut soup. God it was good. Then the app, Lakesidge ricepaper spring roll with two dipping sauces...so good. Then the main courses: Nevada Curry and Panang Curry. Jesus Christ I couldn't shovel it my mouth fast enough, so spicy, so many flavors. 

But the best...the best was the desert. Sweet Sticky Rice with sliced Mango. I have to tell you, I'm a mango snob. It's easy to get crappy mango. But this dessert was damn delicious. The sticky ice was warm with a gooey glaze saddled with sliced mango, again, me shoveling in my mouth not fast enough. 

We will definitely be back.

My favorite Thai restaurant in town! By far has the best Thai tea, and the price is very reasonable for the quality. I highly recommend this restaurant.
