ON CHESTNUT Street, there\u2019s a quaint vintage house that\u2019s been turned into a restaurant. There, you\u2019ll find Thai Thai, which has some of the best Thai food in the South. On the walls of the dining area are signs that read something like, \u201cWe have a small kitchen, and it takes some time to make the food \u2014 please be patient.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Patience comes with many rewards at Thai Thai. Once you get your drink and place your order, you can go outside and pet the resident cats while waiting. That\u2019s just one of many charming aspects of this amazing restaurant. Another is the lovely back patio, festooned with cafe lights where you can see the owner\u2019s cats lounging on the furniture and rolling over, begging for affection. There\u2019s also a large koi pond in front of the restaurant where the fish are bigger than the aforementioned cats!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The menu is extensive for a kitchen this size, with both seafood and vegetarian options. You get your choice of heat level, which ranges from level one for no heat to level five, meaning \u201cThai Spicy.\u201d The spring rolls,\u00a0crispy and served with a delicious sweet chili sauce, are a must-get for appetizers, and so were the gyoza dumplings stuffed with pork and vegetables.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are numerous pad Thai variations with your choice of protein, as well as some fabulous curries and traditional Thai entrees. The Thai beef salad, called \u201cYum Nue,\u201d with thinly sliced steak mixed with red onion, green onion, cilantro, and lime dressing, is a standout. So is the \u201cThai Thai Phad Kra-Proa,\u201d a traditional Thai dish made with bell peppers, sweet basil, and your choice of protein. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
There is a limited dessert menu with Thai doughnuts, custard, and fried cheesecake. Also available is an extensive tea menu, featuring all sorts of herbal and traditional Thai teas, and a full bar, including wine and Thai beers such as Singha and Chang. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
There isn\u2019t a dedicated children\u2019s menu, but when I\u2019ve dined at Thai Thai, I\u2019ve seen plenty of little ones slurping noodles and eating the chicken satay. Just tell your kids it\u2019s like nuggets with no scary clown. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ta-Ta, the owner of Thai Thai, exudes charm and graciousness effortlessly. With her warm hospitality, she has crafted an exquisite and authentic Thai dining experience at an affordable price point. The charming ambiance, coupled with an extensive menu, truly sets this establishment apart, making it one of the premier dining destinations in Bowling Green.
