Khun Chai Thai Restaurant

I came here with my brother and my sister-​in-​law at around 11 PM. The place was empty aside from us, which was good, because there was only one server. She was friendly and served us all of our dishes in a timed manner, so it seemed like we were eating a three-​course meal.
We ordered the chicken satay, the duck curry, the pumpkin curry, a salad, and a catfish dish. The chicken satay was great. I loved the peanut sauce and how tender the chicken was. The salad was a little bit too salty for my taste, and I expected the duck curry to be a bit bigger and to contain more pieces of duck, but else than that, the entrees were delicious. They came with two bowls of rice.
And there is live music! We got somewhat of a private performance since we were the only guests in the restaurant at that time, and I enjoyed every second of it. When the singer first came out, I assumed he would be singing traditional Thai songs throughout our stay, but he actually sang modern English songs like «All of Me» by John Legend, as well. (According to my brother, he also sings Spanish songs. What?)
This is not the cheapest Thai food in Vegas, but considering how their seats are super comfortable and spacious and how they hire someone to sing live music throughout your stay, the prices aren’t unreasonable. The portion sizes aside from the duck curry were fine.
This place is open until 2 AM. I definitely recommend it for a late-​night meal.

Best Thai food in Las Vegas…
If you want authentic Thai food, this is the place to come.
I judge Thai food based on how well they make Larb since not all chef make this food delicious.
I have tried larb with spicy being 3… (they have range 1 to 5 but still 3 is very spicy… I wonder how spicy 5 is. just don’t want to think about it.). Unlike other Thai restaurant, plenty of food and mixture of basil and mint. just made it so good. I ate this for lunch and I love it so much now I am back for dinner. For dinner I tried yellow curry. SOOOOO GOOD!!!

Tasty Thai food. Negative points because the waitress refused to put in our order to have the bean sprouts cooked for the Pad Thai. She just explained that the bean sprouts are cooked with the noodles and then raw/​uncooked sprouts are added after they are cooked. I continued to request the bean sprouts to be cooked. When we got the Pad Thai it had raw bean sprouts sprinkled everywhere that it was hard to pick out.
And just be careful if you sit in the booth, it tends to tip forward if you sit wrong– needs to be secured down. A slightly dangerous place to eat if you’re expecting…

We got into town pretty late and decided to come eat here for dinner. We used the Unilocal check-​in for a tempura shrimp and egg roll was a nice treat before our entrees. My husband ordered the Kung Pao Chicken which was flavorful and good. I got the seafood salad and it has a good portion that we shared, it taste was mediocre. I expected it to be more spicy, but it was not. There was a 2-​man band that was entertaining because we kept catching him mis-​pronounce words in the songs– he mostly sang Ed Sheeren and some other top 40’s. My husband kept waiting for him to play 80’s– which he did not. I did notice there was a child still up and playing when it’s so late into the night, but I did come in on Saturday night. This place wasn’t so bad, but it didn’t stand out or make an impression on me either.

Here on a Saturday night around 8−9pm and pretty slow, started with the crab rangoons and chicken satay, not too bad, all flavors were there, entrees were yellow curry noodle soup, crab fried rice and beef pad see ew. Soup on just a tad salty side for me, rice was good too and real crab, the beef on the noodles were flavorful and noodles right texture. Now portions of everything were good amount to share, not at all family size but between 2 it’s good. Service was on point with refills. Dessert was only available with one item which was the Thai coconut custard dip with cut up sweet rolls, and that was pretty legit. They also pack your food up for you too… assuming because it was slow or if it’s their standards lol.
Décor was interesting… it’s like a karaōke style kind of place, live 2 man band one on guitar and keys.
All in all decent price, good food, and listening to live band was cool.

I arrived at 11pm on a Monday night, and the place had only 3 tables filled. I really enjoyed the Pad See Ew with fried tofu, and the complimentary eggroll. The flavors were great and the texture of the noodles was perfect. Looking at the pictures of the other dishes (including desserts), I’m guessing that just about any dish here is delicious. The waitress was really sweet and helpful. The table seating was very spacious.
This place takes pride in their music. There was a live singer on stage who did an amazing impression of Bob Dylan’s Knocking of Heaven’s Door. And when he wasn’t on stage, they played a mix of rock/​classic pop. The volume was a bit too high for me, but that’s because I normally like quiet places. But as far as the food and everything else, I was thoroughly satisfied.

Always great food and service. They even have live music during lunch. I recommend he pad Thai. The lunch special is a steal at $ 6.99.

Open late and more authentic than the Thai places I’ve eaten at on the strip (such as Lemongrass in the Aria, which I enjoy but not quite as much as this place).
On my last visit I ordered Pad Thai and Tom Kha Tofu — both delicious and only $ 32 after tax and tip, which is around the price of one entrée at Thai restaurants on the strip.
It’s a charming break from the flashiness of strip restaurants. Never been crowded when I’ve eaten here, and while there’s a stage and mic set up, I’ve yet to see anyone performing.
It’s a go-​to if you want good Thai food in Vegas.

The pad Thai is great but the check in Unilocal offer is a bit off you can’t use it almost any of the time. Not for pick up. Not for happy hour, not for lunch time. Only if you dine in at dinner time. The Thai tea is also amazing. It’s also a smaller sized Thai tea than normal size for the check in. Other than that I love the food.

This place is a hidden gem and has hot pot open till 4am. Get their fabulous checking free Thai tea. Great food and great service!

Table she seat us was wobbly and dirty chairs with stains all over. We moved ourselves without asking. I don’t think she liked it much. We went at almost midnight but there were several kids (I assume owners children) still playing around inside of restaurant. Between the loud music, children screaming and the night club lights keep on circling around ceiling, I couldn’t really enjoy the dining experience. Red curry was OK. Fried rice OK. Service is OK. Nothing special but got aggravated late at night. Unilocalers who gave 5 stars must have came during day time. I am very disappointed.

This Thai restaurant is AMAZINNNGGG! Like literally they close at 4 am, the inside looks super hip, it’s super clean inside and there’s a giant stage in the middle for people to sing and perform for the customers. They have quite a variety of stuff on their menu but I ordered the hot pot Tom yum, hot pot wonton and a plate of crab fried rice.
Lemme tell you the crab fries rice was ⁵⁄₅
The Tom yum was probably ³⁄₅ at a level spicy of 3 of 5
And the wonton was super delicious no problems with that one ⁵⁄₅
Oh! And if you check in they’ll give each one of you at the table an egg roll, a shrimp tempura and a Thai tea free
The pricing isn’t too bad it’s like $$ moderate.
The service was pretty good ⁴⁄₅ they really tried to talk to us and help us decide on the items and they’re really kind (I think this place is family owned) but they did a good job on this restaurant, definitely coming back every night now LOL

Have been here several times but this may very likely be the last
Wan’t to like this place but when you serve me old vegetables that won’t help matters. .
In the curry, cauliflower had a rancid taste and broccoli was discolored and yellow in many places showing it’s time to either toss it or at a minimum cut off the obvious bad spots.
Staff was nice until I called and asked to please speak to manager, man answered «they not here» click hangs up phone.

Stopped in Las Vegas for the night on my way back to Phoenix. The ladies and I decided we would dress up and go out for Thai food. We got to Khun Chai Thai and it wasn’t very busy. It was pretty empty actually. The server was really nice but also really timid and awkward. The food looked and tasted really good. My only complaint was that medium spiciness was too hot. I’m from the Caribbean and I love my pepper but the heat was a bit too much for my pad kee mao. I’d return if I go back to Vegas.

After a debacle of a late night meal the night before, I convinced my not so sharp buddy to come along again for another feast. I don’t know what possessed me to pick this place, but I don’t ever want to have that hunch again. Please Lord, no.
Upon entering, we notice nothing but six or seven employees seated around the front table snacking and chit chatting. Professional.
At this point in the summer, my throat is completely scorched to the high heavens, so soup is always my number one option for middle of the night coma food. Stuck with my staple: Tom Kha Gai and it was good enough. Tasted like how it should and no weird fusion slant on a traditional dish. I was feeling pretty good about my selection.
We also got complimentary pad thai spring rolls and they were pretty solid and flavorful with a nice crunch.
Then all the stars came raining down… with our order of the roasted duck salad. My goodness. Was this duck brined in 90% salt solution for the past several years. WTF and no that’s not an Asian acronym about food, I really mean, WHAT THE FUCK!!!
I mean we should’ve known when my buddy questioned the waitress as to why her reaction about us ordering that plate was one of disgust. She played it off like English was her seventh language and giggled and said, «no, no, it’s very good». We told her it was absolutely disgusting and awful, to which she just smiled some more.
Good to know management cares about how their paying customers feel about their experience here. I can’t believe we got charged for that salad, but not sure why I’m shocked since they had the balls to bring that crap to our table.
If you’re ever so far in the dumps that you’re considering eating somebody else’s, the roasted duck salad here will work fine as a substitute and you won’t have brown schmears all over your face. You’re welcome.

This is my favorite place for late night Thai cravings and when I’m feeling under thee weather. It’s in the same complex as Pool Sharks and Jjanga on S. Decatur Blvd. in between W. Twain Ave. and W. Spring Mountain Rd.
My usual soups for the soul are Tom Yum Seafood and Tom Yum Sukothai Soup. Tom Yum Seafood consists of rice noodle with shrimp, squid, fish ball, ground pork, ground peanut, and lime juice. And Tom Yum Sukothai consists of rice noodle BBQ pork, ground pork, and green bean in spicy broth. Both soups had the balance of sweet and sour, but Sukothai is spicy, unless you request otherwise. I took the leftovers home and heated it up the next day. It was still as good as being in the restaurant or I could even say it’s more delicious. The flavor was there and it tastes like home. Tom Yum is known to help cure colds due its potent combination of herbs and spices. If I’m extremely unbalanced, I’ll ask for some minced garlic and lemongrass to be added to the soup. So soothing and the deep-​seated flavors in this soup makes me regain my appetite even from smelling the aromas! Nummy!!!
One time I broke free from a high fever and regained my appetite, which was around 3:30am! With the help of Unilocal,I found this Thai restaurant that. not only opened late, but delivers as well!!! Yaaaaaaaay! I ordered two soups. I was starrrrrrrving and actually finished both that night. I felt like a savage person, tearing apart my soup and having the broth drip all over my chin. So sexy, I know! Even my dogs looked worried as I devoured my meal within a few minutes. The delivery was quick and neatly packed. I ordered from EAT24. I apologized for ordering so late, but the delivery man was pleasantly happy to do so and kept a smile on his face the whole time. Nice :) I didn’t feel so bad after that.
All the times I have dined here and ordered for delivery, the service was polite and attentive. The young gentleman with black frame glasses is kind and sweet. When I was leaving the Chef came out and said thank you, good night.
They have a few specials like E-​San Classics where you choose two food items from a list, comes with appetizer, soup, salad, and steamed or sticky rice for $ 10.99 ;) I’m planning on trying that on my next visit!
This restaurant has free Karaōke after 10pm, free wi-​fi, online ordering (last call for delivery is 3:50a.m.) and live music nightly. The host/​dj was singing some of my favorite 80’s, 90’s music. I was swaying my head side to side while eating and enjoying the entertainment.
I’m a huge fan of this place especially satisfying my late night food calls for Thai ;) Their food that makes me say mmmmm mmmmmm mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

TASTY THAI PAST MIDNIGHT
It’s a Thursday evening and the choices for Unilocal 4 star rated restaurants opened beyond midnight are lmited in a city that never sleeps. Decatur is being repaved and it’s just before our destination north bound. So be careful when driving. Do recall this restaurantat at one time being Vietnamese that we had tried years ago and never returned for good reasons. For whatever circumstances subsequent restaurant operators have been unsuccessful. The reviews to this new Thai restaurant were overwhemingly positive. Plus the photos were too enticing to pass up.
Here’s what we decided to order:
Appetizer: A20: Pork Jerky … having had beef jerky elsewhere, the option of trying pork was a nice change … it was certainly just as flavorable and more tender … rate ⁵⁄₅
Curry: C8: Duck Curry, red curry paste with coconut milk, roast duck, pineapple, raisin, bell peppers, tomatoes and basil leave … wasn’t water downed soupy bowl of curry sauce … plenty of duck … seasoned perfectly but a tad too spicy hot for my personal preference … rate 4.5÷5
Noodles: N3: Combination Pad Thai, the famous dish of rice noodle with Thai special sauce, scallions, bean sprouts, egg and ground peanut … huge serving … expertly prepared … loved the thin chewy noodles … again a tad too spicy … 4.75÷5
Our young Thai server was very pleasant and attentive during this late evening. He even boxed our leftovers. (so many servers just hand you the boxes) Unilocal Check In bonus includes a complimentary Thai iced tea and two fried rolls with sweet chilli sauce that was all most delightful .At 1:00 am there at least a dozen dine ins not to mention numerous takeout orders. After seeing other orders for other tables especially the Yum Sam Krob, a return visit is a definite must.
Word of warning, spiciness is calibrated from one to five. We are adept to eating spicy and so ordered at two. Yu-​go enjoyed it, but I found it to be too powerful to enjoy. If you can tolerate your eyeballs sweating acid, I will assume three will more than adequately take you to code red. LoL

It’s good but you have to pick the right menu items. Some they execute better than other Thai restaurants and some they don’t.
The interior looks bizarre. Like somebody made a trip to the community garage sale to buy some stuff that might make sense separately but together? Not really. Stage for karaōke + Christmas tree lights + sparkly hearts + license plates on the wall + Home Sweet Home wall décor + Bob Marley. If you think about it, it’s genius! You don’t have to change decors for certain holidays. Christmas, Valentine’s Day, 3 – 11 Day, etc — they celebrate everything everyday.
The place was empty when we came here for dinner. We got free egg rolls and a small Thai iced tea for checking in on Unilocal.Their spicy scale is from 1 – 5 and 3 was pretty spicy. My eyeballs and pretty much my entire head were sweating uncontrollably.
Tom Yum Soup:
Tom Yum with chicken and mushrooms. A little salty, citrusy, sweet then the spiciness punches your taste buds. It’s a little sweeter than what I’m used to. ³⁄₅
Nam Tok Beef:
Salad with lettuce, roasted rice powder, grilled beef, mint, chili and lime juice. Great flavors: the acidity intensifies the heat from the chili. Spicy level 3 but felt way spicier than that. ⁴⁄₅
Combination Pad Thai:
This had the same issue as the Tom Yum soup. It’s sweeter than what I’m used to. ³⁄₅
Beef Panang:
Creamy curry and coconut sauce. They’re not too generous with the beef but it was still good. ³⁄₅
Sweet Sticky Rice with Mangoes:
Cute presentation. They look like sushi. The rice is perfectly cooked. Soft and it absorbs the coconut milk. The best version I’ve had. ⁵⁄₅
Thai Tea Ice Cream:
Generous portion and has sprinkles on top. I hate sprinkles but I love Thai tea ice cream so much. ⁴⁄₅
We also tried the grilled squid and fried rice. Too much food!

I’m very impressed with this experience we had here. I will point out one thing just so I can get it off my chest. we ordered our drink order and the guy that was waiting on us basically spilled like 4 drinks on our table as he was taking the glasses off his tray to the table so he made us switch tables. one thing that was kinda funny was he didn’t even offer to give us our drinks for free or am I asking for too much?? hmm i dunno how i shoudl feel about it because there wasnt any remorse for his actions and his apology wasnt genuine… overall the food was delish. everything was definitely authentic and made to our liking. I would definitely come here again but maybe for happy hour because it was a little pricey.
beef jerky
tom kha chicken
spicy catfish (rad prick)
crab fried rice
pad see ew shrimp
for those that know Thai food I seriously recommend this place… I normally don’t say alot of good for I am very skeptical when it comes to Thai food… only thing that wasn’t that great was beef jerky.

I love a good lunch special and one of the best around is at Khun Chai. They have a selection of dishes that include soup, salad and eggroll for $ 6.99. Which is plenty for me, but if you have a large appetite there is another option for $ 9.99 that has a larger portion.
Previously, this restaurant was Pam Real Thai. I was hooked on their pad kee mao and garlic fried rice. I sulked for weeks when they closed.
Fortunately, Khun Chai puts out one of the better pad kee mao’s around. The veggies are always fresh and crisp, the noodles are tender and sop up the delicious flavor and if you like heat — This is the place! Their scale goes 1 – 5, I like spicy, but I usually stick with a 2 here because I like the sweetness of the basil to shine through the heat. The Tom Yum soup is excellent. The salads are always fresh and you get your choice of dressing, I’m partial to the honey mustard. The eggrolls are always satisfying as well. It’s a great place to grab a quick lunch. My brother and I find ourselves there a few times a month. They also offer a discount when paying cash. There is often live music too.
