When I visited this restaurant I did not have the highest expectations due to the atmosphere and general decorations, which usually doesnt bother me because some of the most amazing food is hidden behind ugly places. That being said, my experience was not the best. Seaweed salad was good, but the spring rolls were almost burnt, due to excessive frying. I could barely taste anything besides the batter from the fry. As I know this is a Thai restaurant, but the sushi was far from perfect. The fresh fish on the sushi was warm, and the selection of rolls was not limited but seemed to be repeated

This is the most inconsistent food I've ever had. Some days its incredible and so delicious and some days I have pink chicken and dry noodles. Its a gamble if it's going to be good or if its going to poison us. Atmosphere is meh, but thats kind of common for tiny hole in the wall restaurants.
Lately its been more bland than good.

This is my son's favorite Thai restaurant in San Antonio. It's a very nice restaurant, but I think it's too pricey. They are currently repairing their outdoor eating area, which is pretty nice when its open. We didn't do any take out so I didn't see if there were plastics or other options for take out. It is a place that is not too noisy inside. Patient servers and cashiers which I needed, because I had a complicated credit card situation.

This is literally the best Thai food Ive ever had in America. The service is as good as the food. I have always had an amazing experience here for years and I cant recommend this place to everyone enough. It doesnt feel like eating at a restaurant, it feels like youve been invited into a kind familys home for a delicious home cooked meal. 6 stars

Mon Thai has been around for awhile and kinda still feels like it. Seems to need a bit of freshening up with decor and ambiance. Had Pad Thai and unfortunately, noodles were sticky and mushy. Service was ok but expected a bit more overall. Might eventually try again to see if I was there on an off night.
