Finding good Thai restaurants in Atlanta is often h it or miss. While Thai is a popular cuisine here, the number of bad or mediocre restaurants FAR outweighs the number of good examples. Of the dozens upon dozens I've been to, I can count on one hand the number of good ones. \r

It is with great pleasure, then, that I can add another to the list. L'Thai is an excellent example of Thai food done right. While its location is a bit far for the average in-towner, it's well worth the excursion outside the perimeter. \r

The ambiance is pleasant and decorative without being gaudy, and although the strip mall in which it's located is hardly indicative of fine cuisine, the restaurant itself is an absolute jewel. \r

I had a sumptuous red curry, and my companions had duck, chicken, and fish. The duck was quite tasty, and although the chicken itself was a trifle on the bland side, the sauce with which it was flavoured was superb. \r

Our waiter, Montri, was incredibly friendly and helpful, guiding us to lovely wines and offering his opinion on various dishes. Having seen Montri before at his own restaurant and prior to that at Tamarind before it closed, I was delightfully surprised and pleased. As always, he offered a consummate level of service and iced the perfect cake of an evening. \r

Do yourself a favour and check out L'Thai.
Pros: Excellent food, fantastic service
Cons: A long distance from civilisation
