“ I had high expectations for the disco fries. They were good but I don’t know if it was my favorite combo. I got the dessert the coconut sundae and it was incredible! The staff was really accommodating and nice and the inside was really fun. They do have a bit of a. Wait for food but overall a great experience. I’d want to come back and try more food. ”
“ Very good food. Really like their Green papaya salad (must-try). Disco fries are pretty good too. Laab is on the spicier side, but it’s very flavorful. Laab comes with a bowl of wild rice. But due to its spice and flavor, I would order additional bowl of rice if you are in a group of 2-4 people. ”
“ Thai Diner delivers a lively and transportive experience with its woodsy & Thai-inspired decor throughout, though note that the seating can be a tight. From the brunch menu, the Kai Soi stood out - a baked egg dish with Khao Soi curry, crispy noodles, and roti on the side, bursting with flavor and incredibly satisfying. A flavorful and memorable Thai spot in LES. ”
“ We came here for breakfast. Overall, it was an enjoyable experience. I liked the welcoming staff, very nice. The food was okay. I very much enjoyed my crispy rice eggs, it was great. My french toast was underwhelming. The taste didn’t suit me. But the egg sandwich was enjoyable. The original sauces for everything are unique and tasty. ”
