"Update: We went again to thin gem. The food and service is really consistent with last time. What a great place Lai Thai is a real gem in Aachen! The food is authentic, full of flavor, and beautifully presented – just like in Thailand. Every dish tastes fresh and carefully prepared, with that perfect balance of spices. On top of that, the service is impeccable – warm, friendly, and genuinely welcoming, which makes you feel right at home. If you’re looking for traditional Thai food with outstanding hospitality, this is the place to go. Highly recommended!"

"Good Thai food. Had soup and main course for two. Meals were served promptly. Elaborate menu, helped by their zero to 3 peppers spicyness rating. A 2 pepper rated wok prepared octopus was spicy enough for me. Prices are fair. This restaurant is a hidden gem. Literally 2 side streets away from busy tourist filled Markt/Town Hall square. No need to make reservations on a Saturday afternoon. Quiet open location between residential appartments."

"Miss Thai food so I came here with my family. The food is delicious and very authentic. A bit sweet though. Rice is served for free and the dishes are very big. The staff are kind and helpful. It is very crowded so I think if you want to dine in, you should make a reservation in advance."

"Hi! I was traveling today around Aachen Cathedral, and I stepped into Lai Thai restaurant. I was quickly greeted by hearty hello from a very young lady. Very important that menu is translated to English. Allergens are also described in menu. Big yes for that :) Unfortunately I do not remember the name of the dish that I did order but it was fried rice with eggs, soya sauce and vegetables. Ofcourse I couldt resist to not to try Thai beer and dessert (fried banana with crumble made of coconut flakes). The dish was ready fairly quick and I really appreciate that the waiter served me the dessert after I finished. Trust me, it's very common in many restaurants that staff will serve you dessert before you finish main dish and your ice cream will be melted or you will have to ask for glass of water when ordering an espresso! There was only two weird things; One: they do not accept credit cards. Personally it's not a problem for me coz I support cash payments but restaurant is located in city center of big town in germany and we habe 21st century. Two: when I received the bill the waitress was waiting at my table with her wallet. I felt that this could he an result of waitress inexperience because it was a little awkward moment for me, or probably restaurant is facing a lot of people who don't pay for service which is really sad. Overall I give 9 out of 10! There is also nice decoration of real plants! Power to the green!"
