Food came out out fast l and everything was great. I enjoyed the seafood pad Thai it was a hefty load of food! We had also gotten pad see ew but the noodles were slightly over cooked so the noodles were mushy.

Ambiance, just a standard home style area. -
So glad I found this gem of a Thai restaurant! Everything I've tried here has been delicious including BBQ ribs, beef sate, yellow curry, pad see ew, drunken noodle, pad thai, and eggplant. Protein options include pork, beef, chicken, and shrimp. My favorite items are beef sate appetizer served with a peanut sauce and pad see ew. The drunken noodle is very spicy (8/10) and full of basil. The chicken in the yellow curry is tender. Be careful when eating it because there tends to be small bones in the curry. You can't go wrong with any food selection. The portions are large which make these plates great for sharing.
There is usually a 20-30 minute wait on the weekends around dinner time, but it's totally worth it. Once you're seated, the service is very quick. They also offer take out for those not looking to dine in.
Thai Original BBQ is my favorite Thai restaurant. We love going on a Sunday so we can have leftovers during the week. Hoping this restaurant stays in business for a very long time!
Pro tip: Order multiple dishes with your party and share so everyone can try more than one food item. -
A go-to since I was in high school! I can always rely on Thai Original Bbq whenever i'm craving thai food. I always get their beef skewers and it's always so delicious - perfectly seasoned and super tasty. I will continue coming here for all my thai cravings! However, sometimes service can be slightly slow which is the only reason why i gave it 4 stars instead of 5.

I have been coming here for YEARS and I always recommend it to friends and family who visit from different states. They say that their food is all they think about once they fly back home. When I'm craving fried rice, I always think of their Combination Fried Rice. The environment of the restaurant has a comforting/home-y vibe to it. It is a great place to bring your loved ones and enjoy great food. Their service is amazing!! They always make sure that you have and need everything at the table.

Our family has been coming here for years! This is one of our go-to restaurants, when we want quick, relatively inexpensive, no-frills Thai food. There can be a wait and parking can be a bit tough during peak hours, but once seated, the food comes pretty quickly. My husband and I's staple orders are the BBQ ribs (aka S-2 House Special) and the pad thai. Service is matter-of-fact, but they do check on you regularly. The food is consistently tasty, and the portions are pretty good. The restaurant looks old inside, but again, this place has been here for as long as I can remember! Straightforward Thai food which we will keep coming back to :)
