Bahn Thai Restaurant

From a Pavilion (Sala) to Home (Bahn).

"It'll be at least a 45-minute wait" said the hostess at a nearby steakhouse from the Down Unda.

"Oh look, the dining room at the Thai restaurant is open now."

Knew nothing about Bahn Thai (Formerly Sala Thai), no expectation was set as it has been mostly misses than hit for Thai restaurant exploration.

It was cold that evening, two soups kicked off the experience.

Tom Jued Woon Sen Gai- clear, savory broth with clear mungbean noodle is certain to thaw your soul.

Tom Yam Gai- clear (sometimes reddish) savory and sour broth with a spicy kick and hint of lemongrass/citrus to surely set your senses run wild.

Pla Pad Khing- Gingerly overloaded with crispy fried fish bedding under assortment of veggies, covered with deep flavored sauce.

Gaeng Panang Nuea- Beefy Curry Creamy Tasty. No other curry dishes at other Thai restaurants so far is this flavorful. The correct cut of beef was used and sliced properly.

Bahn Thai (formerly Sala Thai) prepares the most AUTHENTIC Thai dishes in Greater Louisville, so far. The dishes are rich in flavor and character.

Superb service.

Though the ownership and the name have changed, the same family still runs the show.

Skip Pad Thai and Basil Chicken (and no doubt they're delicious here), but try different dish at every visit.

Highly Recommended.

Usually 5 stars and our go to place when we are in town, but today, I have to knock off one star for the long white hair I pulled out of the drunken noodles and another for the hours I spent on the toilet this evening. First time they’ve disappointed.

Management seems to be nicer that the previous one. Food is still great but pad thai seems less tastier than before?

This restaurant used to be named Sala Thai. The new owners have kept the exact same recipes and cooks. Everything we've tried has been excellent!!

Formerly Sala Thai, this is my favorite restaurant in Louisville. Their curries are fantastic, especially panang, yellow and jungle. Drunken noodles and pad thai are also delicious. Also try their basil fried rice! Staff are always friendly and service is great!
