Thai food is great, but there are a limited number of Thai restaurants in Las Vegas. If you don’t know where to look, it’s easy to miss the excellent Thai cuisines that the city has to offer.

So, I recently went out of my way to find all the best Thai restaurants in Vegas, both on and off the Strip. After some searching, I found these to be the best places to eat Thai food in Las Vegas.

Las Vegas Thai Food

1. Lotus of Siam

Lotus of Siam is one of the best Thai restaurants in Las Vegas. They have two locations in the city, but the one on Flamingo Road is the only one open right now. The head chef here, Chef Saipin, has helped the restaurant win many awards over the years for its extraordinary Northern Thai cuisine.

Some of the distinctive items on the menu include garlic prawns, pad Thai, mango sticky rice, soft shell crab, and roasted duck curry. Lotus of Siam serves lunch and dinner Friday through Monday, but only serves dinner Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.

2. Lemongrass

Lemongrass is a popular Las Vegas Thai restaurant found inside the Aria. It’s one of the few places to get Thai on the Las Vegas Strip. This eatery serves modern interpretations of food from Thailand.

A few of the featured dishes here include shrimp pad Thai, Singapore noodles, Maine lobster curry, and drunken noodle seafood. They have a ton of sides and unique desserts on the menu as well, along with an extensive drink menu that includes signature cocktails and sake.

3. Le Thai

Le Thai is one of my favorite places to eat Thai food in Vegas. This restaurant has two Las Vegas locations, but the one on Fremont Street in downtown Las Vegas is the most popular. The head chef at Le Thai, Dan Coughlin, showcases his culinary skills by making one of the best Thai curries in Vegas.

I highly recommend you try the 3-color Thai curry, but the Thai noodle soup, ga pow stir fry, and thai pad are also really good. Le Thai has an excellent selection of Thai dishes, plus some top-notch customer service. The prices are very reasonable too.

4. Noodles at Bellagio

Noodles is another one of the Las Vegas Thai restaurants located on the Strip. This Pan Asian restaurant, which can be found inside the Bellagio, serves a combination of regional dishes from Thailand, China, Japan, and Vietnam.

Some of the appetizers on the menu include spicy Thai shrimp noodles, pot stickers, udon, calamari, and pad Thai. I really enjoyed the Chinese doughnuts as well. For entrees, you’ll have your choice of a variety of beef, chicken, pork, and seafood dishes.

5. Nittaya’s Secret Kitchen

Nittaya’s Secret Kitchen is a Thai restaurant in Vegas found in the Summerlin neighborhood. It’s about a 20-minute drive from the Strip, so this is one of the restaurants frequented by locals. If you’re looking for authentic Thai food, this is a great spot to check out.

Chef Nittaya prepares the food served here using secret family recipes from Thailand. A few menu items include Thai wings, fried tofu, crispy pork belly, muay-Thai-fried rice, Thai BBQ hen, and various curry dishes.

6. Plumeria Thai Cafe

Plumeria Thai Cafe is another local Vegas Thai restaurant. You can find this family-run cafe in North Las Vegas serving Thai curries, Thai noodles, and other Thai cuisines prepared with fresh, high-quality ingredients.

Dining at Plumeria Thai Cafe is always enjoyable since the service is fast and friendly, but you can also order takeout and delivery. Just know that they are closed on Mondays.

  • Location: 6710 W Cheyenne Ave, Las Vegas, NV

7. Pin Kaow Thai Restaurant

Pin Kaow Thai Restaurant is another one of the Vegas Thai restaurants with multiple locations. You can either visit them in Henderson or Summerlin. Both restaurants have a traditional Thai house atmosphere and a team of highly-trained chefs in the kitchen.

The menu at Pin Kaow Thai Restaurant features dishes like spring rolls, tofu soup, avocado curry, Bangkok seabass, chili fried rice, and salmon pad Thai. If you want to eat here, I recommend that you call and book a reservation ahead of time. Reservations are a necessity at Pin Kaow Thai.

  • Location: 1974 N Rainbow Blvd, Las Vegas, NV

8. Archi’s Thai Bistro

Archi’s Thai Bistro serves Vegas Thai food in several locations throughout the city. This is another family-owned Thai bistro that offers authentic Thai food at a reasonable price.

If you take a look at Archi’s menu, you find classic Thai dishes like curry, pad Thai, Thai eggs rolls, Thai beef jerky, pad pak, and chow mein. The restaurant is open from 11 am to 10 pm every day. I like to eat here during their lunch special that runs from 11 am to 3 pm.

  • Location: 6345 S Rainbow Blvd, Las Vegas, NV

9. Weera Thai Restaurant

Weera Thai Restaurant is one more spot to grab Las Vegas Thai food. This spot serves plates of delicious Thai street food classics. You can order everything from crispy duck dishes to rib eye and seafood.

Like many of the other Las Vegas restaurants that serve Tahi food, Weera Thai Restaurant has a couple of locations spread throughout the city. You can find them in Spring Valley and in the southwestern part of Vegas.

  • Location: 3839 W Sahara Ave Ste 7-9, Las Vegas, NV

10. Komol Restaurant

Komol Restaurant is a Thai restaurant in Las Vegas found a couple of blocks off the Strip. This is one of the best spots to get Thai food in Vegas if you’re a vegan or vegetarian. Komol Restaurant has an extensive plant-based menu designed specifically for vegans. Many of the dishes are gluten-free as well.

If you do eat meat, this spot also has plenty of classic Thai dishes on the menu, like barbeque sliced pork, Thai-style sweet and sour chicken, pepper beef steak, Thai curry, and bean thread noodles. They are open from 11 am to 3 pm for lunch and 5 pm to 9 pm for dinner. There is a 2-hour period in the middle of the day when the restaurant is closed.

11. SATAY Thai Bistro & Bar

SATAY Thai Bistro & Bar is another Thai restaurant near the Las Vegas Strip. You can find it on Paradise Road, near the Wynn golf course. This Asian bistro is family-owned and serves a combination of Thai, Chinese, and Malaysian foods.

The chefs here are fantastic and are even able to prepare some Asian cuisines that aren’t on the menu. If you’re going to stick to foods on the actual menu, you’ll have your choice of dishes like wok stir-fry, lamb chops, curry samosa, and Thai pad. SATAY Thai Bistro & Bar also has a superb lunch special that runs from 11 am to 2 pm Monday through Friday.

  • Location: 3900 Paradise Rd, Las Vegas, NV

12. Arawan Thai Bistro and Dessert

Arawan Thai Bistro and Dessert is an excellent spot to eat Thai food in Vegas. The restaurant is located relatively close to the Strip, a few blocks from the Westgate Resort & Casino. They serve awesome Thai pad, plus most of the menu is vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free.

As the name suggests, Arawan Thai Bistro and Dessert serves plenty of Thai cuisines, specifically Thai desserts. Some of my favorite desserts on the menu include the mango gelato and vanilla bean creme brulee. There’s a reason why they get so many good reviews online.

  • Location: 953 E Sahara Ave E-14, Las Vegas, NV

Thai Restaurants on the Las Vegas Strip

Noodles and Lemongrass are the best Thai restaurants on the Las Vegas Strip. Unfortanelty, there are only a handful of restaurants on the Strip that serve Thai food (both are located inside major Las Vegas hotels). If you want more options, you can find plenty of restaurants that serve Thai cuisine a few blocks off of Las Vegas Boulevard.

Thai Cuisine in Downtown Las Vegas – Fremont Street

There aren’t too many Thai restaurants in downtown Las Vegas. If you’re looking to grab some Thai in the downtown area, I recommend dining at Le Thai. It’s located directly on Fremont Street, near El Cortez.
