Thai Thai

I love their spring rolls and their chicken satay. I tend to always get the Pad Thai with chicken, and sometimes get shrimp as well. I love everything I’ve eaten there. The heat scale is 1 – 10, but the heat is intense. I love hot foods, and can’t go over a three! Sometimes the service can be a bit slow, but I still love going there.

PART 2: …of what I assume was dressing on it, although it could hardly be tasted. Now… let me say, we weren’t even expecting a salad at all, so my gripe here isn’t so much about how the salad looked. In fact, it actually gave some comic relief to how horrible things were going up to that point. We actually looked at the «salad» and looked at one another and laughed. My son asked the girl what was going on with our food, and told her how long we’d been waiting and she said it was coming now. She got our refills, finally, which were the first ones we’d gotten since being there, and the first thing that we get is the fried tofu app. It was utterly boring and bland and tasted of NOTHING. They added no salt or seasoning of any kind to it, and to top it off, it was cold. To wait that long on something, and then for it to be so unsatisfying on every level, I was like… are you kidding me? We ate a couple pieces and immediately lost interest. Even as hungry as we were and all that waiting… what is the point of eating something that has no taste what so ever? I was just praying that at least the soup would be good! 10 more minutes pass and finally, we get the soup. My son dipped in with the bent and mangled spoon he was given, and at first he said the broth was good. Then, upon his 2^nd bite, his face changed and he said, something wasn’t right. I quickly realized what he meant when I tried to eat mine. At first, I thought it was going to be good, but as I began eating it, I realize that I was chewing on all these fibrous, tough, pieces that tasted horrible and they were so tough and bitter, there is no way they could be eaten, so I spit them out. I picked out what the pieces were… what I first thought were scallions… and with every spoonful I tried to eat, mountains of these tough, pungent, root-​like slices kept coming up in every bite I tried to take. I realized there was no way I could stomach eating these things, so I started picking them out of my soup and laying them to the side. There was so much of it, it was literally like 80% of what the soup consisted of. By the time I fished them all out and laid them on my plate, the only thing left in the bowl were 3 little shrimp, a tiny piece of tomato, and broth. My son had the same problem with his. He said they were horrible and he couldn’t eat them either. Instead of picking them out like I did, I just pushed his soup aside and said FORGET IT! I wasn’t going to eat mine either at that point, I just wanted to see how much of it was in my soup. After all that fishing out and picking through it, it wasn’t appetizing to me at all. We still couldn’t get our guy server’s attention, but were able to flag the girl down again. We asked her what the heck that stuff was, and she said it was raw lemongrass and raw ginger. RAW. And she said, «Oh you’re not supposed to eat that. It’s too tough to eat. We just put that in to flavor it!» WHAT??? Okay… if they acknowledge you’re not supposed to eat it, then why leave it in there??? Is that not a sign of a lazy chef? I mean I understand using things to flavor a stock, but why not strain the stock before adding the ingredients you are SUPPOSED to eat? And why did something I’m not supposed to eat, that they admit is too tough and strong, why did it make up ²⁄₃ of my bowl? It was really bad. At this point… I am PISSED. And kind of sick at my stomach. In the middle of this conversation, our entrees arrive. My son, who ordered his at level 1 spiciness (the lowest level), took one bite and said it was all heat. He couldn’t even taste any other flavors, because heat is all he could taste. I tasted of his and he was totally right. Mine was a seafood dish. I love seafood. But when I saw my plate, I almost threw up. It was a bowl of oily, off-​looking broth, with scallops, a muscle, and some shrimp, and on top of all of it, was a grungy, foamy, gritty, gray, filmy, SCUM. It covered everything on the plate. I said, «THAT IS IT!» I called our guy server over to the table and told him we were done, I wanted our check, and the ONLY thing I was paying for was my son’s drink (I had water), and the fried cardboard… er…I mean, tofu. Because that is all we had eaten. I pointed out the gray sludge on my plate and went into all of our complaints and the waiting, and I was not paying for anything else. We were leaving. He offered no apology or explanation and got our check. From here on out, we’ll stick to Thai Express. They are cheaper and the food is fantastic. We’ve never had any issues there with quality or with getting our food in a timely manner. I find it hard to believe that Thai Thai has such good reviews on here. This was truly one of the worst dining experiences I’ve had ever! Don’t go to Thai Thai unless you love less than mediocre food and service, and you have 2 hours + to kill kill!

Ok place. Got takeout and their portions seemed to be lacking compared to norm when I’ve gone previously. Also they put my food in a Styrofoam box and it deformed and fused to it so that sucked

Fresh and hot (spicy)! Hot hot hot as you desire. Loved the shrimp wonton soup. Spring rolls were tasty. Pineapple fried rice was plated so nicely with fresh pineapple. Basil chicken was good as well. Lots of fresh vegetables. We arrived early around 5:50. Our waitress was nice, friendly and very helpful. Just wished that the dishes were served more promptly.

Really good thai food, if you are up for a spicy pad thai or fried rice. I had both of them with a spice level 7 out of 10. Darn hot indeed but equally delicious. Though the restaurant was a bit skimpy on the serve size and they charged 20% service fee over the dish prices without asking anything. Well it might be a bowling green, Kentucky thing. If you are a ‘spicoholic’ like me, I definitely recommend this place for you palate.

Went to go see a friend of ours in Bowling Green Brandon, on our way out of Bowling Green, my girlfriend Toey was starving for Thai food. So I Unilocal it and came up with Thai Thai, which had the best reviews and they were right.
So my girlfriend ordered for us since she was Thai. She ordered some type of beef salad which was great, tasted a lot of basil, which is my favorite. Chicken Pad Thai, the sauce was flavorful and wet pad Thai. I like it runny. The fish cake appetizer was great. Overall when we come back to Bowling Green we’re make a special trip to eat here again. By the way the two daughter of the owners, did a great job on service. Thanks again

Im a sophmore at wku and ate here for the first time yesterday on a date, and I wish I’d found this place sooner! Oh my gosh.
I got the cashew plate, with a spicy-​ness of one. It was AMAZING.
I’m here again today with my parents, there’s so much more I want to try on the menu! Awesome atmosphere too, though I really wish they played more traditional music.

Thai Thai has the best Thai food in the city. The service is a little slow but the outcome is well worth it. The restaurant is very beautiful and is a casual setting. I have been going to Thai Thai for years and the food has always been amazing. I would always recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for good Asian food.

Two friends and I came tonight (Monday) for dinner. We were the only table in the restaurant so I was expecting attentive service. We were promptly seated but the server disappeared for about 5 minutes before she took our drink order. I ended up ordering Spicy Noodles with chicken, my friends ordered Crab Fried Rice and Massaman Beef. Thirty minutes later the salads were delivered and were very skimpy. It took another 20 minutes for my entrée to arrive. Another 5 after that for my friends’ entrees to arrive. The food was delicious. Two of us ran out of drinks and with having spicy food was not a good thing. The service and speed was horrible. If it was busy I would have expected some delay. But if they have trouble with one table with three diners, I would hate to see what would happen if all the tables were full.

Literally the best, most unique restaurant in Bowling Green! I love the ginger chicken. The chef is a prodigy. Since there is only one chef, the food takes a little longer BUT WELL WORTH THE WAIT. it is consistently delicious and a great place to go to eat with a group of friends.

Excellent! Service is sometimes slow, but well worth the wait. Watch out for the spice scale. 1 means 4, 3 means 8, you get the point.

It’s food is very spicy for most people so be sure to get a 0 or 1 on there scale of spiciness. The price is ok the one bad thing is there is only one cook so it take a while for them to cook it but she is an amazing cook so it’s worth the wait. Best Thai food in Bowling Green.

We returned at the behest of good friends and had a much better experience. My entrée was very good and service time was reasonable. We will most likely return.

Not the best Thai I’ve ever had, far from the worst.
The space is very pleasant. I think it was a house at one time. Service was prompt and friendly.
My only gripe is that my dish, despite requesting «2 out of 10» on the Spicy scale, was still too damned spicy. Fortunately they kept me supplied with water.
I’m sure fans of the hot stuff will love it here. For me, not planning to return.

Visited my girlfriend’s family who lives in Bowling Green, and this is where we decided to go for dinner. Being from Chicago, I am no stranger to Thai food, so I thought hey, what the heck, let’s try it out!
When we arrived, we were seated and informed that there are people ahead of us, and the wait would be 30 mins. I come from a place where its expected to take at least 30 mins to get your food, so we agreed. Much to our surprise, a minute or two later, our waiter came back and took our drink and food order. Drinks arrived promptly, so any concerns about service were moot, especially when I saw their beer prices. At $ 3/​bottle for a Blue Moon, these were MUCH cheaper than I am used to (In Chicago, soft drinks are $ 3 at restaurants!).
Menu was pretty standard, and I ended up ordering the See-​Ew with Chicken. Here at Thai Thai, they ask you to rate your desired spiciness from 1 – 5. Liking a little bit of kick, I made the mistake of ordering a 5. Let me tell you, this scale is certainly not the gringo scale of hotness! WOOWEE! Did my taste buds ever hate me! This was one of the HOTTEST dishes I have ever ordered. EVERYONE at the table was struggling to finish our plates. The food was good, but DEAR LORD was it hot! Like PAINFUL hot! Next time, I would be hesitant to get a 1 on the hotness scale — it was THAT hot. Luckily the waiter saw our pain and ended up making sure our pitcher of water was always full. Even my gf’s brother made the comment «I am leaving here with my hat in hand».
While I cant comment on Thai Thai in comparison to Bowling Green’s other offerings, I can say that I would go back. Good service, decent prices and plenty of spice make this restaurant worth checking out. Just be careful how you order!
EDIT: One thing worth nothing about Thai Thai: While their food is HOTT, they don’t appear to include the pepper seeds in their seasoning. This is a very good thing. I frequently get severe GI issues when I eat spicy foods. I had no issues with Thai Thai. I surmise its the seeds that irritate the mucous membranes of the digestive system. Without these, one can eat very spicy foods and notice no issues the next day.

HORRIBLE, SLOW SERVICE!
I went to Thai Thai with a friend about an hour and 15 minutes before a show we were going to a couple blocks over at the SkyPac. We sat down and ordered some beers and our food. Our server was extremely slow and took about 10 minutes to get our beers out to us.
We waited and waited for our food to come. We finished our first round of beers and were going to order more. We waited for our server to come back to the table, but she never even came to check on us. We had to call her over to even order a second round.
After about an hour of being there, we still had no food. We couldn’t wait any longer because our show was about to start. We had to tell our waitress to cancel our orders, but once again, she was no where to be found. I actually had to get up out of my seat and walk around the restaurant to even find anyone at all (let alone our own waitress) and tell them we had to go. They seemed extremely confused by this, and we still had to pay for the beers, even though we had received no food at all in over an hour of waiting.
I will definitely not be back. The service is way too slow. I don’t even know how their food is, but after my first experience, I’m not even going to give it a second change. Siam Thai is way better.

When I arrived at Thai Thai I thought the little house was cute, but there were only three cars in the lot (at 5:30 on a Tuesday) so I almost thought it was closed. But when I came in, someone eventually found me at the door and sat me in a room all by myself. I looked at the menu, made all of my hard decisions about what to order, and then continued to sit there for about fifteen minutes before anyone came to take my drink order. But the waitress was apologetic, and after that incident of being forgotten she was very prompt with everything.
The thai iced tea was great, but I wish they’d had an option for boba. I got the Thai Thai rolls which were delicious. I also got the pineapple fried rice which was everything I wanted and more. I asked for it with no chicken or shrimp, and the waitress asked if I wanted tofu (which I didn’t know was an option) so I added that for no cost. She was also thoughtful to ask if I still wanted the egg, which I appreciated.
I wished there were more clearly stated vegetarian options. I’ve seen many places give an option of what protein they want to add — chicken, shrimp, or tofu, instead of creating the hassle of asking for substitutions. It’s a minor detail though that I don’t mind too much.
Even though my experience didn’t start out great, I was so very happy at the end. I had a serious craving for the kind of Thai food I had in California, and Thai Thai definitely satisfied it.

Great food, but as most reviews have stated, the service was extremely slow. We had a group of 8, which I know larger groups can be difficult, but our food was brought out at different times. A couple at our table got food about 15 minutes after everyone else. Every 5 to 8 minutes a couple of plates were brought out. Some were finished eating before the final plates were brought out. Now… despite the slowness, the food was great and I will go back. I’ll just make sure to have lots of time.

I have been here four times and the food is excellent and I am a picky eater. My husband calls me Sally from «When Harry met Sally.» Anyway, as the other reviews have mentioned the service is slow due to the fact they don’t have adequate staff, so be willing to wait. Also when choosing the heat anything above 4 or 5 is going to be really hot. My husband is from southern AR/​LA area and puts hot sauce on everything and the first time he got an 8 and almost couldn’t eat his meal ;-)
Update 1÷13÷12 I have been to Thai Thai several times now and the food is consistently good and I’m happy to report that the service has improved as well.

To celebrate my brother’s birthday, we chose Thai Thai. When I called to confirm our reservation for 15, I was asked if I’d like to order some food then. Turns out they only have 1 cook, and she was concerned that he would be overwhelmed. This was a flag.
We arrived and were shown to our table for 15. We were greeted and drink orders were delivered. Our orders were then taken, and then our meals were delivered. All within an acceptable time-​frame.
The food was fresh, hot and tasty with the appropriate heat ordered. We were all pleased and happy with our meals and service.
Separate checks could not be done, so checking out at the end of the night took some time, but was relatively quickly.
Definitely good and tasty and will come back time and again!
