Mama's Dumplings were the best dumplings I've ever had! Phenomenal! Chicken Pad Thai was great, too!
I had take out last night. It was good. The scallion pancakes were good, the crab Rangoon was one to skip. I do think the decor inside is well done and so clean. I will go again Sorry I didn't take photos.
5 Thai has been a reliable standby for us for years. Top-notch food, nice ambiance and nice staff. Right in the walkable area of downtown, just a couple blocks from the huge parking garage. Highly rcommend!
It's been so many yrs since I've had Thai that tasted this good. Probably not since one of my trips to NYC. You take a gamble when you order duck. It has the ability to go sideways. I've had too many chewy ducks than I can count. Even at a Michelin star restaurant. The crispy duck and massamsan curry at 5 Thai Bistro was absolute perfection. It was crispy and fork tender. We also ordered scallion pancakes, crab Rangoon, chicken fried rice, and pad Thai. It was all very good. I had such a long day. This was exactly what I needed.
Went here for my friend's birthday the other day and this might be close to one of the best Thai dishes I have ever had. I got the Pad See Ew and it was fantastic. Everyone really enjoyed their dishes. The drinks are great too. A little on the pricer side but totally worth it. The service was also friendly. Smaller restaurant so make sure to make a reservation cause it can get busy.
