    Food great. Service good. Hours of operation not so good. Never open for lunch. I'm hoping that they can adjust their schedules to accommodate more people

    We went to forest thai when it opened for a late lunch/early dinner! I admit that parking was a bit hard to find, but we ended up finding open spots on a nearby street We were the only people there besides one other person dining in, but we saw a lot of people coming in and out to pick up take out orders. The woman serving us was really nice and the first thing I noticed was that the prices were really good in comparison to other Thai restaurants I've been to. We ordered curry puffs as an appetizer, sheimp pad thai, and chicken pad see ew. The curry puffs were pretty good and served on a cute leaf plate, but I do wish the outside was a bit crispier. The main dishes were the perfect size and the pad thai looked especially appetizing with a pile peanuts on the side and a lime slice. My favorite part of the pad see ew were the noodles and there was a nice balance of broccoli, egg, and chicken. I admit that the chicken was drier than I would've liked, but otherwise the pad see ew was really good! My boyfriend thought the pad thai was a bit sweet, but other than that, he was satisfied with his shrimp pad thai. Overall, I had a great experience at Forest Thai and would come back!

    Ordered to go from here and the food was really good ! Crab fried rice had a really nice kick to it! I usually eat spice and i felt the spice they sprinkled over the fried rice ! Their fried fish with basil was also SO delicious. Lady at the counter was exceptionally friendly. The restaurant is nicely lit, nothing fancy but perfect for family dinners/goto spot.

    My first review was around 8 years ago. I'm so happy that this little family restaurant survived during the Covid-19 pandemic. I have been a patron during that period. First, Forest Thai cuisine is the best on this island. I know that 8 years ago when I went there for the first time I compared their Pad Thai with a historic restaurant in downtown Manhattan near the old fish market called Benny's which sadly has permanently closed. I miss that place. With that said let get back on track, Forest Thai reminds me of that place. Then the pad that was really good. Today, I don't know, could it be my palate it lacks the freshness of the authentic sauce. Something is amiss but it's better then the others on this island. I've tried many dishes: the curries, their specials, great appetizers, the vegetarian dishes, they are all excellent. I'm not rich so just to mention, the prices are a little steep and the portions are barely enough for one person so don't plan of sharing there is not enough to share. I limit myself to visit the place on occasion just because of the prices and portions. I do not blame any small mom-and-pop shops to charge these astronomical prices; the pandemic has caused a domino effect on price gauging.
