The Best Green Curry in Carpinteria!
Lao Thai is an absolute gem! I just had their Green Curry, and the flavors are incredibly authentic and fresh. You can taste the quality and care in every bite—seriously delicious! Beyond the fantastic food, the service was so kind and friendly. I appreciated the warm welcome and will definitely be back to explore the rest of the menu! Five stars!

Now this is a gem! Small family run Thai restaurant in Carpinteria. We came in for dinner with voracious appetites after an evening at the beach. Everything was cooked with care to perfection. We had the Tom Kha soup and the Laarb followed my Pad See eew and Drunken Noodles. The flavors and spice were perfectly balanced. Would definitely Do Over !!!

BEST THAI RESTAURANT IN SANTA BARBARA COUNTY!!! My husband I are either done in or get takeout from here an avg of 1-2 times a week. It is our favorite spot! Super cozy when eating there, and you must order their ginger tea! It’s unreal. Family run and they could not be more wonderful! The food is absolutely incredible, and has safe gluten free food for people that are gf. You’ll be surprised just how amazing it is. Many people I know also claim this is the best Thai food in SB county. It’s unassuming from the outside but a MUST!!!

We’ve been to a lot of Thai restaurants and this one is very good. The pricing is reasonable, the portion sizes are fair, they hit on all the dishes with excellent flavor and taste while not being overly oily or salty. The pineapple rice comes in a cut-out pineapple and thus far every dish we’ve ever ordered has been really good! We’ve eaten here about 5-8 times and it has become the go-to Thai restaurant. The other Thai restaurant in town is also good but the service is slower, they make mistakes on the order and I don’t think the food taste quite as good.

It was our first time there. The food was excellent. Best Thai in town. The service was great. The atmosphere is small, simple Thai decor, cozy. Expensive, but nice sized portions so for us we have enough for 2 meals each. We will definitely go back. We had golden spring rolls, pad Thai, tom kha soup and a flat noodle dish with peanuts. I don’t remember the name of that dish. We loved everything. An earlier reviewer said they served rice with the pad thai. They did not today, which was fine we didn’t expect it.

Never miss this place when you visit Carpinteria. The food was awesome. Just drafting this review in middle of Shrimp Pad Thai and Spicy chicken fried rice. Tum kah coconut chicken soup was top notch. Awesome food. 100% taste guaranteed

I am a Thai food fanatic and I was excited when this little family owned business opened. I had heard that it is good but a bit pricey. I agree that it is slightly more expensive than its competition in the area (Siam Elephant, Meun Fan Thai, etc), however, their portions are a good size and delicious.
The interior is simple with minimal decor. It appears to be more of a take out spot. Nonetheless, the staff is super welcoming and friendly.
I came in for midday for the lunch special which comes with an entree, soup of the day or salad, white rice and a crispy wonton. The soup was Tofu Tom Kha, very flavorful with coconut milk, slight acidity from lime juice and a hint of fish sauce. I ordered Pad Thai with cilantro added as my entree. The tamarind sauce was not overwhelming and the noodles were nicely cooked. I also appreciated that it came with white rice which is abnormal for a noodle dish.
All the all, a great Thai spot in Carpinteria with a lunch special that is worthwhile.

When this place opened, I gave them 5 stars. Last few times, they have gone downhill. Tofu is inexpensive, yet a $17 meal like Pa-Ram or Pad See Eiw will have just a few pieces. I just picked up a small Tom Kha Soup with tofu–6 small pieces. They made me pay extra to have vegetables in it–LITERALLY one piece of broccoli, one piece of zucchini, a few slices of carrots. Almost $15 for coconut broth. Might be my last time there. This local will go back to Siam Elephant.
Here’s a photo…pathetic.

We liked this restaurant so much we ate here two nights in a row! The first night, we had the green curry and pad see iew with chicken (no photos). Both very delicious and had a beautiful presentation.
The second night, we tried the satay chicken, pad see iew with tofu, and chicken with ginger and vegetables (photos below). The servers were friendly and attentive. Dining area is clean and has lovely decor. This restaurant is a big asset to Carpinteria. Highly recommended!
