Lanna Thai Restaurant

"Visited 02/29/2024: 4/5- Very nice restaurant, superb service & great food. You're in Thailand when you walk inside. Flavors are authentic but lighter aromatically than your your typical Thai. Most prominent flavor is sourness. Five spice levels: 1-mild to 5-Thai spicy. Their Thai spicy is a typical medium spice level. Owner checked in and we had a pleasant conversation about the food (she informed about the spice level and appreciated the comments- that was nice when owners/ managers visit the tables). Definitely check it out- will be back for sure. First time here so I ordered a few dishes: 1. Beef Laab 3/5 (spice 5/5): Very tender sliced beef, proportioned vegetable/herbs to meat, and generously portioned. First several bites were great but over time it was very sour. Could have used more fish sauce, rice powder, and chili peppers to my liking and less sourness. Nonetheless, worthy dish. 2. Som Tom Papaya Salad 3/5 (spice 5/5): Very Thai! Perfect texture and portion. Great if you love sour papaya but after a few bites, the sourness was very prominent. Comes with sticky Rice! Still a great Thai dish. 3. Thai Chicken Wings w/ Cilantro lime dipping sauce 3/5: Perfectly cooked- Crispy and hot! Awesome appetizer for sure. Three sauce is supposed to be a chili lime sauce but it was a tangy cilantro lime/ vinegar sauce. Not bad but would prefer nam jim. Still good though. 4. Nam Ngiao 4/5 (spice 5/5): Very decent curry soup. This dish is great because it doesn't have coconut or evaporated milk like typical curries. The spice was very mild but I loved the meat texture, the diced blood & generous broth and herbs. Could have been more pungent with aromatics but a lovely dish. 5. Pork Spring Rolls 5/5: Excellent spring rolls. The noodles, vegt/herbs and meat was proportionate and that's hard to find! Favorite selection of the day. The dipping sauce was very sweet though. 6. Shrimp Tom Yum Soup 4/5 (spice 5/5): Very delicious bowl of soup. Had only 2 lg shrimps but they were perfectly cooked. Very flavorful and tangy. Would have preferred a touch of fish sauce and a more aromatic kick of spices and lemongrass. However, 2nd best dish for me."

"Excellent food and service!! We had the Lana spicy fish curry, som tum (papaya salad), roast duck curry, and mango sticky rice for dessert. All the items tasted great! Heat - the “Thai Hot” is actually pretty hot. If you have low tolerance, avoid it. Hot and very hot level felt pretty much the same. Ambience - very cute and cozy place. It’s a smallish restaurant but well laid out. If you are coming with a group bigger than 4 people, reserving ahead might be a better idea since the restaurant does get packed. Overall, highly recommend this place!"

"My boyfriend and I dined in last week and ordered the pad Thai, which was excellent! My favorite pad Thai I’ve ever had. It’s a week later and I’m now sitting in front of my takeout order for a night in with the same dish. Really great food, but the pad Thai in particular has a unique flavor; almost a sweet buttery smoothness to it. A must try!"

"Ordered thru DD and everything tasted amazing. We had pad prik khing w chicken medium spice and it had such great flavor and nice heat. Well balanced. The egg rolls and cream cheese wonton were awesome. Love the dipping sauces and the fact that you can order extra."

"Loved Lanna Thai! Great service from Quan. He's efficient, super friendly, and always smiling (even told me a funny joke.) Apple, the owner was very friendly, she came over and made sure everything was to my liking. I ordered the Pad Thai lunch special with Cream Cheese Wontons, Fresh Pork Spring Rolls, and Chicken Pad Woon Sen. Everything was delicious with well balanced flavors, not too salty. Nice portion sizes. Gluten free items were clearly labeled. Restaurant was very clean, even the bathrooms. I highly recommend this female owned business. I'll be back!"
