Lemongrass on 2nd and Santa Fe in Edmond.
Tana Thai, just south of Hefner on May.
Thai Kitchen at Harvey and Dean McGee downtown is supposed to be great.
Ditto Lemongrass in Edmond!
Sweet Basil in Norman. Sometimes slow service but best Thai around.
Thai Raja and Pad Thai in Norman are also good. Both around Jenkins and Boyd.
I've heard good things about the two in Norman but I've never been to them.
In Norman, my favorite is definitely Thai Raja. I haven't tried Sweet Basil yet.
In OKC, my favorite is Thai Kitchen downtown. They are very friendly there and their food is great.
Sweet Basil is ridiculously overpriced. You can get better Thai in the Asian district for half the price of Sweet Basil. Pho Saigon has some really good Thai dishes and Thai House has a decent buffet.
Panang on SE 89th / Penn is also very good.
They also have a unique weekday all you can eat lunch special.
They list 8 items on a table card and you choose 4. The main entrees are cooked to order. You can have as many as the 8 items as you wish. The owners did away with the buffet because they felt the quality/freshness of the food was being compromised by sitting in a heating tray.
Elephant Cafe
38th & College - Bethany
440-2811
Open 7 days a week
Cute little place, they serve Fine Thai, Japanese, Asian Cuisine per the illustration on the window.
I had a Bento Box - cute little compartmented platter with steak teriyaki + tempura veggies + jasmine rice + green salad with mint cucumber dressing.
He had the Red Chicken Curry - 5 stars (spicy)
We shared an order of Bangkok rolls
The menu is vast and we intend to go back for more!
They really are serious about the freshness thing huh...whenever we go they seem to make our orders individually so usually my fiance is done before I get my food...annoying but I really think only one or two people are actually working in the kitchen.
Still good stuff though!
I will 4th this recommendation.
The owner takes his food very seriously. It will be hot and it will be tasty. It will not be greasy, undercooked, or displeasing. If it doesn't meet this criteria he'll make it right.
I've been going to Panang since Mack bought the place back and the Evil Jungle Chicken and Massaman curry absolutely cannot be beaten. They also have some of the best spring rolls and fried rice I've ever had.
Oh, and the mango and sticky rice is to die for. My girlfriend almost cried the last time we went because the mangos at the market that day weren't good enough to make the dish.
However, the service is ssllllooowwww. They'll bring your food out when it's done, not before. And yes, there are only two people in the kitchen.
Thai Garden on S. Western. They opened up another location in Midwest City a few months ago, taking over Hong Thai. I LOVE their food, and the owners are very personable.
the BEST thai in the metro is SALA THAI on 23rd...
my second choice is thai palace (used to be owned by the same ppl) in edmond on 2nd & fretz
Thai Palace on 2nd & Fretz in Edmond.
Nick will take care of you and make anything you like, whether its on the menu or not.
He'll probably seat you, take your order, bus your table and be your cashier, too!
I'll throw in my vote for the Thai Kitchen downtown. Fantastic food and the friendlist owners I've ever met in Oklahoma.
The husband (Thai) and the wife (Burmese) make for some interesting combination recipes. I hope they succeed.
Thumbs up!
My favorite is Pad Thai in Norman.
Best in the city, imo, is Moon Thai on 23rd. The buffet isn't that good but it's pretty solid if you order off the menu. High quality ingredients, good flavor and no mystery meat. Pad Kra Prow.
I used to like Sala Thai but it has gone downhill. Lemongrass in Edmond used to be Thai Basil and is pretty decent. Pad Thai south of 240 has changed hands but is still as good as the original in Norman, from what I understand. Had Thai House II buffet about a year ago and it was garbage.
Thai Kitchen is also open for dinner....
