Ban Thai

I stopped in for dinner last night with my daughter but it will be our last visit. We ordered the Between the Sheets appetizer and two Sushi Deluxe dinners. We were served one order of Sushi Deluxe. Then about 10 minutes later the appetizer came out. We started to eat the appetizer and it was pretty good. I wouldn't have ordered it again if I would've returned - as it was basically chicken strips with sweet Thai sauce. Neither of us could detect the shrimp that was supposed to be in the with chicken. Didn't see it or taste it. We waited for at least another 10 minutes - because we were trying to get someone's attention - before I asked when we would get the other sushi dinner. Apparently, she didn't understand that we wanted two dinners. I'm not sure why since we both spoke/ordered separately. They apologized and we both told them it was no big deal. Stuff happens. I started to eat my sushi and realize that the texture is just 'off'. Nothing smelled weird but the taste was just kind of blah and the texture of it all was tough. Then when the tuna fell off of my rice I could see that my rice was pink from the tuna. Not a good sign when gas or color is pumped into the fish to make it appear fresher. Fresh, unaltered tuna does not leave a pink ring of residue on rice. In the meantime we're still waiting on my daughter's sushi. I'm looking around and see that it's sitting on top of the sushi case and the server is leaning on a counter nearby. A different lady - who had come out of the back to help with the tables - noticed that the sushi dinner was just sitting, asked the server about it and then brought it our table. (they were not busy - the server was just not good)My daughter said the same thing about the sushi. The texture was off. Neither of us finished the sushi and when the server came around and asked if we wanted a box we told her "yes". The sushi chef came over to the table to apologize again for the mixup and we assured him that it was fine. He said that he had taken the appetizer price from the bill. We said that was not necessary but appreciated it. We left and then dropped the leftover sushi into my daughter's outside trash can. Still - that's not why the 1 star. The 1 star is for the HAIR in the appetizer that I ate and didn't know I ate!!! Yep, a hair! I saw it in the picture I took. Saw it even without zooming in that much and I have bad eyes. That's why I didn't see it in the dimly lit restaurant last night. I'll post the picture and you can clearly see black hair on the chicken. I believe it's the first piece that I grabbed. I'm so disgusted!! I guess it's a good thing that I was not charged for the hairy appetizer. Seriously, I have been so grossed out all day knowing that I consumed someone's hair. And that's on top of the low quality sushi and the bad service. Ugh!!

My lady and I were heading to Eastgate and wanted to get some sushi, so I looked here on Yelp for a good spot, and happened upon this place with some great reviews. Glad I found it because the place was excellent and easy to find. Plus we had more than just the sushi.We stopped by on a Friday night for dinner. The place itself is very nicely decorated and actually reminded me of my time in Thailand many years ago. Can't say that of many Thai restaurants. Their menu is a nice combination of Thai and Japanese cuisine so I'd say they have something virtually anyone can enjoy. They also have a full bar and a good list of libations, but I was a little disappointed by the lack of sake (they only had one hot sake option). All the staff were super friendly and worked as a team. We started out with an order of Thai rolls, a glass of pinot grigio for my lady, and a Singha for me (one of my favorite Thai beers). The rolls came out pretty fast and were very tasty. They were even good without the sweet and sour sauce. After that, we ordered two sushi rolls (one Philadelphia roll and one salmon avocado roll) and an order of crispy pad Thai with tofu (medium spicy). Again, we didn't wait long at all, and everything was delicious. The sushi tasted very fresh and the pad Thai had a nice spicy kick. We both definitely enjoyed the experience and are already planning on going back. I really want to try their rad nar, which is one of my all-time favorite Thai noodle dishes. So maybe I'll try that next time and introduce my lady to what I consider the perfect Thai comfort food. I have a feeling theirs will be good.

I want to thank Yelp for helping us find this restaurant. We were craving Thai food and Sushi so my Mr. looked up a couple in the EastGate area and found this. The ratings and menu were very impressive that we had to check it out. So glad we did. Everything from beginning to end was perfect!We dined in on a Friday night. They were steady and had a lot of take out on orders. We were seated and waited on right away. They have everything on this menu. Sushi, appetizers, salads, entrees, bento box, lunch specials, full bar however no specialty drinks. They only serve hot sake not cold. We ordered:Drinks:Pinot Grigio SinghaAppetizer:Thai RollsDinner:Crispy pad Thai (add tofu)Philadelphia rollSalmon avocado rollThe Thai rolls came out first and following the sushi. Both were delicious and paired well with our drinks. We wanted to split the crispy pad Thai. I haven't had one in years. The spice level, medium. It was so good! Not Americanize (sweet) and great flavor. We didn't get to finish the paid Thai because they gave us a lot. So we took the rest home. The restaurant is very clean and open. Very welcoming. The service was great! Attentive and friendly. I cant wait to come back and try something different. I would say they are on my top three for Thai restaurants in the Cincy area.

We stopped in here because we were shopping at Jungle Jim's. We live about 20 miles away and I used YELP to help me find a good restaurant in the area. YELP, once again you game through and steered us to a "hidden gem." The food was spectacular and the service also. Ban Thai is in a shopping center, but The interior was very nice! We also thought it was very reasonable and we are looking forward to coming back here with friends.

So much better than I thought I would be. Crispy duck is a must order. Pad Thai is good everywhere and the rolls are really good also. They were really quick. Ordered on the spot and it took about 12min. Place looks nice inside as well. Would order from again.

They always have flavorful dishes with a good range of spiciness. I particularly like the green beans with pork, Pad See You, Udon Pad Kee Mao, and of course the Pad Thai. The curry can be mild enough for a child, or hot enough to make an adult perspire- just ask for your preferred spice level. Service is fast except when there are over 10 tables seated but even then, the serving time is reasonable. The 2021 remodel makes this a much warmer feeling restaurant but it's still good for great food in a casual environment. Put it on your bi-monthly rotation.

The Pad Thai is superb! The best I've ever had, once a local favorite for me, now is a destination! Service here is impeccable! And Ban Thai has a pleasant atmosphere for lunch that becomes romantic as the sun fades!

Service was great. Food was delicious. I got beef with crispy pad Thai noodles. No complaints at all.

We came here because I was craving Thai food from our move. It was nearby and it looks like it had really good ratings. When we got there I was surprised how fancy the restaurant looked inside lol, I was not expecting that. Anywho the staff was really attentive and our food came out super quick.We ordered the wonton cream cheese crab rangoon and that was pretty good. It came out within like a couple of minutes of ordering and it came out hot. Pretty tasty.My husband and mother-in-law ordered Curry and they both really liked it. My husband really liked his because the sweet potato was something different and he really enjoyed it. My mother-in-law, it was her first time eating Thai food and Thai curry - she really enjoyed it. Her only feedback would be that she would want her veggies to be cooked a bit more and less crunchy, otherwise it was good. I ordered their pad Thai and it was pretty good but what I didn't like was that the noodles were really short. I'm used to long rice noodles so this was kind of new to me. Other than that the flavors were good, I wish it was spicier though because I ordered a level spicy and I didn't really taste any spicy at all. Anywho... nice gem in the Eastgate area if you're looking for some good Thai food.

What? Come on Ohio people this place is delicious! Had sushi and some other dish food was very good
