Eat Thai Thai Eatery - West Des Moines

The creative menu made it easy to order The Sampler which included Crab Rangoon, Tofu, Spring Rolls, Tofu and Dumplings (4 each) was scrumptious served my choice of herb seasoned Wonton Soup, and deliciously Fried Amazing Catfish, with a plethora of Beef Noodles. Each dish was packed with flavor. The ordering was quick and each made to order dish had a fashionable presentation delivered with a graceful smile The wait staff was courteous and very attentive to each patron that entered. The soft selection of music as well as the food colorful decor emitted a tranquil environment for those who stayed to enjoy a satisfying meal that was more than enough!

We stopped for lunch at this hidden gem in a strip mall. The dining room is simple but comfortable, with nice tables, chairs, and booths. We started with the crab Rangoon, which was light and tasty but a bit expensive. My sister ordered her favorite, cashew chicken with level 3 spice, and the waitress made sure she understood that three was quite spicy. My husband opted for the pad Thai with beef and asked for extra beef, which incurred a three dollar upcharge. He was happy he did, as it was worth it. I chose the fried rice with beef, opting for level one spice, but found it lacked enough heat. It was a bit plain tasting, similar to what I would make at home, but I added soy sauce to enhance the flavor. Overall, everything was fresh and delicious, and the service was good. I can see why locals love this restaurant.

Eat Thai is a hidden gem located in a strip mall. I had to try it after many recommendations and I was not disappointed. As you enter into the quaint restaurant, I received a warm greeting. I decided to try the Pad Thai with beef, a classic and my go to at any Thai restaurant. My order was ready within 10 minutes showcasing their efficiency and dedication to serving quality food. The food stayed warm on my ride home which I appreciate. The Pad Thai was delicious and flavorful but it left me desiring more of the succulent beef that I had anticipated. The lack of beef left me with a sea of noodles which was disappointing. I will definitely be requesting extra meat next time. Although I would have preferred more meat in my Pad Thai, the flavor and warm hospitality is enough for me to go back again!

I ordered take out from this place a while ago. I went to pick up and it was good just missing some sides I'm used to. Also most places give you lime, lemon and offer sauces for it. I had to ask for a side of chili sauce and it had no zest so I was a bit sad about that. I love lemon/lime with my fried rice especially when adding a bit of chili to it. I'll probably go in to sit down and try their food but for now this is my review for take out.

I 've given Eat Thai a few chances to find their way to my regular list. Here is where I 'm currently at. The staff are always friendly and pleasant to work with and the ambiance is pleasant and comfortable. I 'm never in a hurry to get out of there. Eat Thai 's Thai options are good, but not always memorable. In a town with a fair amount of Thai eateries, there is no stand out or signature Thai dish that draws me back. I 've had good luck with all of the appetizers, though (Mmmmm, Thai dumplings.... . Their what I would call Chinese-with-a-Thai-Twist dishes, on the other hand, are quite tasty and are good enough to keep me coming back. The Pepper and Garlic comes to mind: choice of meat sautéed with cilantro (none in mine, please. I 'm one of those people and garlic in black pepper sauce, topped with fried garlic. Served with steamed broccoli. What you need to know: Easy private parking off of 22nd St. in West Des Moines They are true to their spice levels.
