Delicious Thai food!!!! Loved every bite.
Got a place to eat in on a busy Friday night. We got the khow suey and the eggplant and beef curry. Both were delicious. Next time you're craving good Thai food that's not going to pinch your wallet - go here!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0 - Aug 29, 2024
I had high hopes for Ben Thai, after so many mediocre Thai restaurants. Perhaps it's because American palettes are so sensitive to spice and chilis.
Sadly the food was just meh, no big flavors or spiciness. Honestly, it was way too bland.
It's always sad when immigrants open restaurants and feel they have to dumb down their cuisine to suit the local market.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Raymond Y.Alameda, CA32026Aug 26, 2024
Ordered the Pad See Ew and it was quite solid! Very decent portion and the ingredients tasted fresh, and not too oily. I thought it was a bit weird to see broccoli in this dish, but it felt a bit undercooked (too hard) though complemented the dish noodles well. The noodles themselves are quite soft and chewy, my ideal texture
It's quite small inside and I was in a party of 6, and we were seated at this rather small wooden booth. I thought it was quite cramped with 6 people, but with 4 it would've been perfectHelpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Aug 17, 2024
We got the Pad Thai and Ka-Ree Curry for the main dishes, and both were very tasty!
For the Pad Thai, I thought it had a good balance of sweetness and savoriness. The curry was full of flavor and packed with veggies. Do note that it does not come with rice, so you'll need to order that separately!
We also got the Fresh Roll w/ Prawns as a starter. The rolls themselves didn't have much shrimp and they were also quite small in size. But I did enjoy the dipping sauces - there was a sweeter one with a consistency you could drizzle over each bite, and the other was thicker with a strong peanut flavor.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - 2993994Aug 8, 20241 check-in
We took our family here because we were craving this cuisine after a day out. Immediately we were sat and the service was all very quick. We all tried something different: pumpkin stew with rice, pineapple fried rice, roast duck soup with a side of rice, and Emperor Khao Soi. We also ordered the Ben Thai platter (not pictured) to share, and we all loved it so much we forgot to take a picture of it. It has a little of everything so it was great for the table.
I ordered the Emperor Khao Soi, and if you are looking for something RICH IN FLAVOR, this is a hit. It had oxtail, chicken, and duck all in a soup with egg noodles. It was so rich from the fat from the duck and oxtail, I needed a break from eating it and took the rest home. Nothing bad to say about any of the dishes we ordered. It was all good.
They have lunch specials and if you check in with Yelp you get 50% off of a non-alcoholic drink. The street parking are all meters, but we didn't have a hard time finding parking in the area.Helpful 1Thanks 1Love this 0Oh no 1 - Jul 29, 20241 check-in
Where to go when you're buzzed & hungry in the Polk Gulch adjacent neighborhood? In the mood for Thai food? Check out Ben Thai for yummy food! We ended up here after drinking at nearby Blind Pig & ordered chicken satay, pumpkin curry, pad Thai with shrimp, murder wings & papaya salad. My favorites were the chicken satay (tender) & pad Thai. They ran out of sticky rice so I wasn't able to have mango sticky rice as our dessert & we had the fried banana with young coconut ice cream which was pretty good.
Service was warm & friendly. Ambiance is casual.Helpful 3Thanks 2Love this 3Oh no 0 - Aug 2, 2024
Food - ordered online the panang curry ($16.50) and pad se ew with chicken ($16.50). online order came with a 0.25 bag fee.
Panang curry - I chose mild but I felt like it had a light hint of spiciness. As you can see from the picture, the container is quite small and it wasn't even filled up to the top. Just filled slightly over half. The top of the lid also had curry on it, so it just felt really messy. Normally my panang curry would come with some potatoes and stuff, but this one was pretty basic with chicken, maybe like 2-3 pieces of brocolli and some cucumbers. Felt a little skimpy on the portion.
Pad se ew - tasty and good.
Service - ordered online and pickup was easy.
Ambiance - It looked kind of busy when I went around lunch time but looked like ample seating.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Jul 31, 2024
The duck red curry is rich and filling. The duck is cooked for the perfect bite with tasty amount of spice on the curry. Well worth the cost. The calamari has great amount meat in it.
Good service and chill ambiance. Nice lunch spot with lunch specialsHelpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0
