The food is amazing and service nothing to complain about at all as the owner visited for a few minutes with me. Food is cooked fresh so being in a big hurry defeats everything. It is a busy little place but obvious why. Portion was generous.

Always our favorite local go to for excellent Thai food in Nampa. They are always busy, unless you go during off hours, so it's best to order by calling ahead. The food is authentic, tasty, and fresh. The cook is from Thailand and super friendly!

Been hearing about Lamai Thai food for quite some time. Decided to try it today. It was ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! I ordered the chicken cashew. It was hot and so fresh. I've already let all my friends and family know they've got to eat here. Will definitely be back.

Do yourself a favor and stop by, she does close for a few months to go to Thailand, she will reopen in the early spring. We as an office have been eating here for several years, everyone at work enjoys her food, we genuinely crave her food!! It is OUTSTANDING! Fried Pork is so delicious, the sauce is spicy but not over the top. Cashew Chicken is great, actually everything here is great! Very favorable, she uses the freshest ingredients every time. It is a busy little place but worth the wait! Portions are very generous. Noi has excellent customer service.

It’s a delightful food truck in the Asian market parking lot. We have been eating here for years and I only now though to leave a review. Everything is delicious and I mean everything. Tonight we had drunken noodles. If you like spice but want to still feel your lips then you’ll love this. Skilled in the kitchen and proceeds also help a village in Thailand. Who wouldn’t want to eat here?

Most flavorful Thai food you can get, it is so so so good. Wait time can be long, so just plan ahead during peak hours. Not a drawback at all because the food is worth planning your day around! Green curry and drunken noodles are personal favorites!

First time eating here after hearing fantastic reviews for the past few years. Green curry was incredible. Will have to go again and am not happy with myself for not eating here much earlier and often. (Curry and rice is a substantial amount of food for the price and quality)
