Ive been going here since Summer 2008, and this place is consistently delicious and friendly, with fresh ingredients and authentic Thai flavor that is quite a bit better than Wild Gingers (I do like Wild Ginger as well, though). This is also my favorite restaurant in CO Springs, which is awesome since prices are so reasonable (especially during lunch hours). Skip your daily fast food crap for lunch, and eat here every other day instead and you will spend the same money with INFINITELY better quality of food (oh, and eat here over the garbage Chinese food places in CO Springs that taste nothing like real Chinese food). Anyway, keep in mind that they are currently closed on Mondays ;) Lastly, for your first time here if you are kind of shy of the more flavorful Thai food such as the strong soups, make sure to get the eggrolls, chicken satay, pineapple curry, and maybe even some drunken noodles while you are at it.

I am Asian with Thai background. Both of my parents are excellent cook. I know a lot about Asian food, especially Thai. Due to so many great reviews I checked this place out for the first time last week, a to go order. I ordered Chicken Pad Thai & Ginger Chicken. Pad Thai was so so but Chicken Ginger really made me sick. It seems like I was given leftovers/microwave food in 1/2 cup but in a container, chicken & vegies were shredded into tiny pieces, didnt see until I got home, very disappointed. In my honest opinion, this place is over rated. I wouldnt go back.

Great decor but food is lacking right flavours. This is a wonderfully decorated small restaurant with a French cafe feel atmosphere. Everything is well cooked but compared to other Thai places, the food flavouring is off. The spring rolls were bland. House salad was a mix of common veges but the peanut sauce was heavy on the sugar. Tasted like syrup. Singapore noodles and the green curry were well cooked but again sugar overwhelmed the other flavors. Everyones palate is different so I recommend a try but skip the appetizers.

I was skeptical of this place at first, and not a huge fan of Thai food. I was pleasantly surprised at how fresh, simple, and delicious everything was. I had the sesame chicken, and it was absolutely the best Ive ever had. My boyfriend had the drunken noodles...also delicious! The dishes are creative, beautiful, and flavorful. The restaurant itself is clean and open and well decorated. The staff is friendly and attentive. Hannah is the best though. Definitely worth a try, even if Thai isnt your thing.

I used to eat here at least once a week. I received takeout with raw pork in it twice. Both times the restaurant refused a refund and offered a new meal in its place. They did not honor the replacement meal offer either time. I really liked this restaurant so didnt quit after the first bad experience. Two bad experiences was enough for me though. The food is good when cooked, but the odds of it not being cooked are high when you order takeout.

The Crab Rangoons were the best Ive ever had - which is saying a LOT since I LOVE them and order them everywhere. The Pad See Eew definitely lived up to the last syllable - so inedible I sent it back once. I swear they just warmed it up and slapped some more sauce on because it came back nearly inedible again. The Thai Tea wasnt nearly as sweet or creamy as Im used to. On I search for a decent Thai restaurant in this city...

Narai -- serves some of the best Thai food in the city. Not only is the food delicious, authentic and reasonably priced, but they are incredibly quick with getting the food out. They are very willing to adjust the food to your spice liking along with other preferences. The owner is very friendly and the serving staff is learning new items daily :) Lastly, the ambiance in this restaurant is very homey and delightful.

The place is okay. Honestly, I believe it has great flavor most times, however the portions are very small. Youd think lunch portions would be different than dinner based on price diff but theyre the same. I feel the amount of meat they put on their curries is very small too; when getting it to go it looks promising but when you start eating it you realize there is just too many veggies and not so much meat.

I just moved here to Colorado Springs, from Orange County, and I have been to many Thai restaurants in California, and this is far one of the best Thai restaurants I have ever been to. The staff is very professional, and polite, and the portions are really big and nice. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants to try gourmet, authentic, Thai food. Will be back very soon!

We just moved to the area tried out this place we got shrimp fried rice very disappointed I paid for extra shrimp it came with 2 shrimps. Then I told a lady about it she had the nerve to charge me more for it. I said F this snatched my card from her and walked off without the food. If you arent a regular staff are very rude. I went back a few months later for dine in same crap.

Very good food. Lunch portions were just the right size. I had the Yellow Curry. Very tasty. Im a sissy when it comes to hot food so I had it mild but it was still a little spicy. Couldnt imagine what Thai hot would be. Only knock was the speed. Got there after the lunch rush and it took quite a while for the food to get out. Overall I was very satisfied.

me and my husband went for the first time this past weekend based on all the reviews and we both got food poisoning half hour after we left there. then we asked the waitress if we can change our noodle dish cause it was so watery and runny and she told us thats how its made and refused to exchange it for us. we will not be going back!

Decent food, the music is way to loud and I couldnt hear the people right next to me... I have ordered the pad Thai and drunken noodles and they were both decent. The servers only come by to give you food and take it away. I never got a refill. I would personally recommend hot basil, very good food at great service.

By far the best Thai food Ive ever had. On vacation here from Michigan and it tops all Thai Restaurans Ive been to in the Midwest. Prices arent bad either. Thai tends to be more expensive back home and I was stuffed on delicious Pad Thai for only $12. Oh yeah, get the crab rangoons....you wont regret it.

The food here is amazing. The wait staff remember you and are all very nice, and the service is fast! I am never waiting very long for my food at all. This is perhaps the best Thai restaurant Ive ever dined at, would absolutely recommend this to anyone in Colorado Springs.

This is a pretty good Thai place nestled into a small corner of the shopping plaza. The atmosphere is nice, the food is nice, thats really all there is to it. Its not your typical carry-out Asian places, and the prices reflect that, but its still definitely worth trying.
