The best Thai food I’ve ever had! Service was great, space was clean, and food was absolutely incredible. The flavors were amazing and diverse. The crispy pad Thai was uniquely different and so flavorful. Definitely get the Pak Mor to start. The drunken noodles were out of this world. Can’t wait to return!!

Drove from pennsylvania on the way to maine and read google reviews to determine if we wanted to eat here. Everything was so good from the cocktail list, appetizers (dumplings) and entrees (seafood and duck). Outstanding quality and packed with flavor. The atmosphere was very nice. I would definitely return when passing through new hampshire.

I understand NH has a very different palate than Thailand but the papaya salad barely tasted of anything. It’s okay to use fish sauce! It was missing all spice and fermented dark sour sweet flavor. I also am not sure I understand a solid brick of lettuce with it as filler in the takeout tray???
The “sticky rice” came in a plastic bag and looked like it was quickly reheated in a microwave or dumped into lukewarm water- which I actually don’t mind. I get you can’t cook everything to order. But it was the most plain and flavorless rice I’ve ever had and was a solid brick that had the density of chewing gum. Sticky rice is supposed to have flavor!
The shrimp was solid and the noodle dishes are typically fine but it tastes like the owner purposefully white washed Thai food so it was bland enough for NH.
Years ago this was my favorite restaurant and the food is passable enough for every couple of months for me to try it again, but the past 7-10 times I’ve been left feeling very MEH. For the prices they are charging, it should be much better than consistently flavorless “MEH”

My go to lunch spot I’ve never had a bad meal here. This time got the chicken and shrimp spicy fried rice and it was a large portion for about $14 so great deal and 5 spicy is a great heat to it too!

We go to 5 Thai bistro regularly. The most outstanding part of a visit is the superlative service. The nicest staff in any restaurant in the Seacoast. The food is equally up to the task, always fresh, hot and flavorful. It is the only Thai restaurant that we go to

Went for lunch with family. Everything was fresh and tasty. The Jay Drunken Noodles were amazing! My favorite app was the scallion pancake. The fresh roll and spring rolls were great too. One sister had the Pad Thai which she said was good, get extra peanut sauce. The other had Red Curry, which she said was excellent and she’s a curry snob so it must be good.

Sometimes you have great food but the service is lacking so you take off a star. But this food was so good that I’m gonna let it slide this time. Oh my God, give me more Pak Mor! I’m going to be dreaming about those dumplings tonight. Sooo delicious. The peanuts and coconut milk shine! Don’t get nervous when you see turnip in there, I wouldn’t have noticed it. We also got Drunken Noodles, which we usually get to test out a Thai restaurant, and they were some of the best noodles we’ve ever had. Everything was plated beautifully and the atmosphere was pretty fancy, while not being overly expensive. We shared the appetizer and entree, and got 2 mai tais and it was around $55. As far as service, we waited longer than expected at the door, and then MUCH longer for anyone to come over for drinks and to take our order (to the point we almost left, which I’m glad we didn’t), but after that we weren’t lacking anything or left waiting super long, but we didn’t see her again. Someone else brought out the food and nobody ever came back to ask how it was, but that’s ok because it was amazing.

Spicey chicken wings are delicious – and yes it’s spicy – but more flavorful than just heat. Give it a try!
Nice customer service.
Nice atmosphere!
Great place for after work cocktails or dinner with friends/colleagues.
