We’ve been to Larb Thai Food & Tapas many times, and it never disappoints. We’ve tried a wide variety of dishes—from the perfectly balanced larb to the fresh and flavorful papaya salad noodle rice and more dishes—and everything has been consistently delicious. The flavors are bold and authentic, and the quality is top-notch every time. The staff is always friendly, and the atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming. This place is a gem, and we’ll definitely keep coming back!

The Food, The Service, The Atmosphere all 5 🌟. This place is amazing with a great vibe. We went there for lunch and enjoyed our time there. The place gives a old school vibe. Love all the posters and artifacts. We ordered pork over rice and it was soo good 😋 😋. The pork was tender and juicy perfect with warm and fluffy rice. The chicken soup was hearty and flavorful. We also tried the chicken and pork skewers which was perfectly grilled and complemented the beer. My belly was real happy after this meal. The service was nice and we felt very comfortable. Would definitely recommend 👌 💯......check em out yoo 🔥

Great small Thai food place. It was clean and quiet. The server was beyond friendly. Lots of options and the food was great.

The green curry surpassed expectations, offering a burst of delicious flavors, and the eggplant was a standout with its perfect preparation. The white rice was just that, white rice, nothing spectacular While the Thai tea was enjoyable, a touch more sweetness could enhance the overall experience.

The restaurant captivates with its beautiful and cozy ambiance, creating a welcoming atmosphere. I see where they were going with the posters but maybe should be bigger to fit better with the overall style.

Additionally, attentive service and a diverse menu contribute to making this a memorable dining destination.

The food and service were impeccable. Some of the best Thai food I've had since my days living in Thailand. We got the crispy tofu larb, khao soi chicken (curry broth was divine), dry Tom yum noodle with tofu and a Thai iced tea that was oh-so creamy (and not too sweet!). Plenty of vegetarian options. Our server clarified dietary restrictions carefully to customize the dish for us. The portion were extremely generous for the price.

Will definitely be back again.

Had a good lunch here! The food tasted good, but it was just standard for me.

Small but amazing place for authentic Thai food! Service was excellent, fast and efficient. We were able to be seated right away, order placed within 7min, water, drinks and plates were out right away and food was out within 10min! 👌 We ordered the Beef Noodle Soup, Signature Lemon Grass Chicken, Fried Calamari and Thai Tea. All dishes were delicious and had an authentic Northern Thai flavor. The Thai Tea was some of the best tasting I've had in a long time. I highly recommend this place and we'll be back for sure!

I recently had the chance to try Larb Thai Food, and overall, it was a solid experience. The restaurant has a cozy and inviting atmosphere, perfect for a casual meal. The menu offers a great variety of Thai dishes, making it a bit tough to choose, but I was excited to dive into some authentic flavors.

The food was definitely the highlight of the visit. The flavors were vibrant and well-balanced, and you could tell the ingredients were fresh. The larb was absolutely delicious—spicy, tangy, and savory, with a great mix of herbs and spices. I also tried the pad thai, which was flavorful and well-executed with just the right amount of sweetness and a nice touch of peanuts and lime.

The portions were generous, making it feel like good value for the price.
