Thai Original BBQ Restaurant

I normal go to the location of flamingo and jones but this one is closer to my house.
The location is much bigger and has more available sunlight that the jones location so I do like that. The dining area is clean and well kept. I have never been in their bathroom so I cannot comment on that.
I ordered their Thai Beef Jerky with a side of sticky rice. This dish is always good and the dipping sauce is tasty. I also ordered chicken Pad Thai. I asked for medium spice. My pad Thai had no spice at all… Just that slices of bell pepper were added to it… Never ever have I had or seen bell peppers in pad Thai. So I was extremely disappointed that was added because it distinctly changes the chemistry and flavor. That jones and Flamingo location has never put bell peppers in my pad Thai. And there was no lime on my plate so when I asked for lime… I was disappointed to find out they had no limes just lime juice.
Food overall is still good but I prefer the jones and flamingo location.

My family & I usually go to the location on Flamingo & Jones but came to this location instead since we had a big party of about 20 people plus 1 child and 2 babies.
The food was good like it always is. It’s family style so you can share everything. They were out of beef satay :(& only had sodas, Thai tea & water available to drink which was a big inconvenience for the babies & my niece since they wanted apple juice.
Also, there was only 1 server the whole time we were there. Luckily there was only 1 other table eating when we arrived. I felt bad for the server for having to take care of such a large party by himself but he did a good job on checking on us and making sure to take away each cleared plate.
The bathrooms are pretty gross. They smelt weird and need some extensive cleaning.
Overall our experience was normal but I’d much rather go to the other location.

We’ve been coming here for 10+ years. Always seem to get the beef satai. Cucumber salad mixture is good but we always steer clear of the peanut sauce dip. Thai iced tea is easily the best in town with a caffine kick. Free refills make it a steal. Barbeque chicken is very very good. Always busy but service is fairly quick.

Surprised to see that this place was pretty empty when I came in on a Saturday evening (I think this place caters mostly to the weekday lunchtime crowd) though it could be attributed to the fact that the inside is much larger than what the storefront suggests.
Atmosphere was pretty ambient and soft, and food was pretty average for Thai food. The spicy catfish, chicken and garlic chicken were too sweet for Thai food and not as spicy as some other places (definitely a more Americanized version of Thai). Still, a solid choice for Thai. Service was quick and the waitress was really friendly (came in every ten minutes to check in on my party).
In all, I would still prefer some other Thai choices that are in the immediate vicinity, but would definitely come here for the lunch specials.

Oh no, don’t expect me to give this place a 3 star or higher rating.
I got home late one night and all of my roomies ate already and didn’t save me any dinner. I was like a hungry child from a third world country.
Decided to hit up this place cause it’s seriously near my house. Got the pad thai and asked for #7 spicy. Nope, not spicy at all. I had to put sriracha on it.
The service was… eh. Girl was confused the whole time. I asked her if there was a minimum on the card and I got a blank stare and she recommended me to get the egg rolls on the menu. Seriously.
Oh yeah, btw no free refills on thai iced tea. I don’t even like thai iced tea. Haha.

Great food… really good serving portions and friendly service

Ordered take out for the wife and I. We ordered Tom Kha Gai soup, chili beef, and ginger chicken.
The soup is always tasty wherever we get it. It has a nice tartness and richness to it. Lots of good flavor.
The chili beef had a lot if flavor. I would recommend it. Spicy and great taste. The ginger chicken was also good. A lot of ginger though. My wife loves ginger and absolutely loved this dish. I like ginger and didn’t really care for it.
Overall a good experience.

We came in, and knew exactly what to get… Thai Tea… unlimited refills is absolutely amazing. The Thai tea has unlimited refills because they make the Thai tea themselves. Many restaurants buy them in bottles or large volumes, pre-​made.
The service is incredible.
For food, I got the beef satay dinner which comes with a large amount of food for anyone 6 satay sticks and two huge scoops of shrimp fried rice.
The satay beef is extremely flavorful, and you can tell they are authentic by the way they marinated their beef for days. The panang curry is perfect because the beef is not just solid meat pieces, but includes plenty of fat which makes any/​all curries delicious!!!
A must try for Thai-​lovers!

My first and last time eating at Thai Original BBQ. Oooooh, how dramatic! I bet you can’t wait to see what disaster I incurred! Well, none. I got the right food that I ordered, it was close enough to being available at the time promised, and the service and price were fine.
No, the reason I won’t be back is that compared to all of the other quality Thai offerings Vegas has to offer, it simply wasn’t good enough. I will be the first to admit that Thai BBQ is suffering the affect of being the ~21^st Thai restaurant I’ve tried here in Las Vegas, many of which are outstanding in every aspect. I can’t help but compare any new Thai restaurant to class acts such as Weera Thai or Prommares, neither of which is exceptionally far from this location of Thai BBQ. All that being said, let’s get to it:
I called in my order of a Chili Chicken lunch special because it seemed closest to what I normally order when I get Thai and also because of the lovely photo uploaded of the same dish in the photos here. No seriously, look at this beautiful dish:
I was told it’d be ready in 15 minutes and I arrived probably a few minutes beyond that.
Upon entering it took a few minutes for the solitary server to get my order. It wasn’t an extremely long wait and she did seem very busy waiting actual tables so it didn’t bother me. If she was on her phone using snapchat or tumblr or sextor or whatever new app the kids use nowadays, I’d be a little more bothered by this.
Got back to my office and was a little disappointed in a few things. 1) That pic I posted above? Mine looked nothing like that. The chicken was chopped up sloppily and not beautifully ground up as you see above. It was like going to Wendy’s and expecting to get that 99 cent burger that can barely fit in Wendy’s mouth on the commercial, only to receive one that your pet hamster can gobble in one bite. 2) No eggroll. As a matter of fact, there was nothing but the chicken dish and the rice. Now nothing extra was promised or advertised, but it seems pretty customary for most Thai restaurants to provide SOMETHING with the lunch special besides the discount. If anything it adds a little value that I could have used after being charged $ 2 for my brown rice upgrade.
The food that WAS provided, tasted okay, but not great. The rice seemed a little mushier than I prefer, and as I mentioned before the chicken was pretty haphazardly chopped up.
Sorry Thai BBQ, that ultimately winds up being worth 2 stars. If you’d have gotten to me a year ago, you probably would have eeked out a 3. Where’s Doc Brown when you need him?

My husband and I usually order take-​out once a month from Thai BBQ. It is a pretty decent thai restraunt where you can get a good deal for your money. We’ve tried a lot of items from the menu such as the drunken rice (awesome), all of the curries, tom kha and all of the lunch specials. The only thing I am not crazy about are their noodles, but other than that the food is solid and well priced!

Located next to the Sunflower grocery store, it’s a nice Thai restaurant with plenty of booths and atmosphere, but the only vital thing lacking was air conditioning and a friendly smile.
Wanted the hubby to try the Beef and Chicken Satay that I had last week here, a bit pricey for satay in my opinion. Not too crazy about the cucumber salad, peanut sauce good and so was the Thai ice tea. Glad I got take out! Saw some girls eating here and they asked for a portable fan to be turned on? Huh? How about turning on the AC?
Just missed the lunch specials which would be worth the price.

Oh no. I previously gave this place 4 stars based on their Thai BBQ Chicken. I still love that dish but I made the mistake of attempting to order their Pad See Ew. It’s a dish with flat rice noodles sauteed in soy sauce with chinese broccoli. I love this dish at Thai restaurants. If it’s done well, it’s quite addicting. As for this dish…
Way too much pepper! It was more like Pad See EWWWW! I took my first bite and wanted to spit it out. I guess I should have mixed everything together, but cmon, should I really have to do that? It should have been mixed together for me already. There was no balance of flavors. It was just pepper and a lot of it. It wasn’t too bad after I tossed everything together, but I was still traumatized from the first bite that I was scared with every bite after that.
Not a good dish from there at all. However, their bbq chicken has saved them from total downfall and I probably will attempt to order a different dish from their establishment (just not the Pad See Ew).

Yet another great experience I went here with my friend Tracie another fellow Unilocaler.
Great food as usual I got the BBQ Chicken lunch special which came with their delicious fried rice. I also ordered the crab rangoons which i must say were a little disappointing, I didn’t taste the cream cheese or crab so I wont be ordering those again. Of course the BBQ chicken was o so tender and flavorful as always, with that sweet special side sauce and to wash down this wonderful meal I had their thai tea which was yummy.
I do recommend this place if your a fan of good quality food for a good price!

Ok so by now you all must know how much I really dig Thai BBQ!
Does not hurt that it is located super close to my house either, lol.
This time I decided to order delivery rather than dine in, yeah one of those lazy days, wanted to enjoy my bed with some good grub. wink…
Delivery service fantastic!
I kid you not, my food showed up at my door in 15 minutes and piping hot off of the grill!
I thought the portion was good when you dine in, wow tons of food loaded to the top!
What I got…
BBQ Chicken & shrimp fried rice
Pork Pad Thai
Crab rangoon appetizer
OK so I had enough food to last me a couple of meals, mmmm yummy.
As always they never let me down!
Dine in, take out or delivery is great either way!!!

This small owner operated restaurant has received many favorable reviews on Unilocal and urbanspoon so we were very optimistic. Ann ordered the Pad Thai which was pretty good, but my order of BBQ chicken, aka kai yang, was amazing.
I received half of a chicken that was cooked until it was lightly crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside with a BBQ flavor that was not overwhelming. My plate also included a large portion of shrimp fried rice that was both moist and flavorful. Service throughout was excellent.
We returned the following evening to allow Ann to order the BBQ chicken while I tried another of the house specialties, BBQ ribs. We also enjoyed a Thai cucumber salad. My wife’s chicken was as good as the night before. The ribs were tasty, but too tough. Our server on both nights was excellent.

We went here a couple of months ago with my parents. They’re not big Thai fans, but we had a Groupon and were able to convince them to join us.
We ordered green curry, dearest crab, won ton soup, kai yang Thai iced tea, and Thai iced coffee. Everything was very good, and my parents admitted that it was good. They’re now a little more open to trying Thai food.
The bad news is there are still no paper towels in the restroom.

I’ve been here a few times and every time I leave thinking, meh. Honestly, the only reason I gave this place another try is because I got the Groupon. It’s just ok. Edible, but not exciting.
This was my first trying the Hawaiian curry. Horribly oversweetened and a weirdly thick consistency. It was like drink whipping cream. We had the BBQ ribs, which weren’t anything special. The only saving grace was the Pad Thai, but even that wasn’t spectacularl. Definitely better Thai in town. The ribs came with the shrimp fried rice, which I found to be the worst thing we ate.
Just eh.

The lunch specials during the weekdays are a nice bargain. And what makes it even better is the selections offered, which should offer something interesting for everyone.
My favorite is probably their BBQ Chicken, and is juicy and sweet. I can probably eat 2 or 3 plates of these while I watch a DVD: p
I usually try a curry dish at Thai restaurants, but have not been here enough times yet to give that a try, but they look really good. I tried the sate dish (pork) served with fried rice, and with the peanut dipping sauce was just plain good eats!
Their service was good, even when the restaurant is busy. But I suggests going early to beat the lunch crowd rush.
Looking forward to going back again, now that they have $ 10 for $ 20 Dinners Groupon promotions today.

Service: 4.5÷5
Food: ⁴⁄₅
Price: ⁴⁄₅
Location: Not close enough for out-​of-​town visitors relying on taxi for transportations, but great for locals working/​living in the SW.

I first fell in love with Thai food in Seattle. There was a little restaurant by the apartments I used to live in and would only order Chicken Penang Curry. Since I was craving for some, I decided to come here.
Their Chicken Penang Curry wasn’t as great as the one I had in Seattle but it’s good enough. It had the sweetness and spiciness I wanted. The only downfall to this restaurant is that you have to pay $ 1.25 for rice when most other Thai places will give it freely and no charge. Maybe the economy is affecting them that they have to charge for it.

Weekday lunch specials are always a bargain, and this was no exception at Thai BBQ on W. Flamingo.
From the outside, Thai BBQ looks like a fast food joint. But you’ll be surprised with the nice sit down restaurant feel inside.
There are about 14 choices under the Lunch Special menu, with only one of them being vegetarian.
I went for the L-​12 Beef Panang Lunch Special «Chunks of tender beef cooked in curry and coconut milk, served with steamed rice.» ($ 6.50). I was more excited about the curry and coconut milk than the beef part. The sauce was definitely tasty on the white rice, but the beef was a bit heavy. It made for great leftovers (with a bit of peanut sauce) says the Husband.
Whereas he chose the L-​14 BBQ Pork Sate Lunch Special «Marinated pork grilled on a bamboo skewer, served with peanut sauce, cucumber sauce, and fried rice.» ($ 6.50). He usually goes for the Beef Sate, but it’s not offered here during the lunch special. Nonetheless, we both really like it and I found myself nibbling more his protein than mine. The cucumber sauce is more like a a cucumber salad with red onions and jalapeño slices in a vinaigrette.
I really liked their version of the Thai Ice Tea ($ 1.95). It was strongly brewed and sweet! Yum!
Service was great. There were a handful of customers and the waiter was attentive and friendly. Definitely no problems there.
Sidenote: They could definitely update their bathroom though. However, I do appreciate the Charmin toilet paper they use!
