The appetizers: fresh wrap and deep fried tofu and drink were great. However the chef special Volcano combo was not that good. Chicken, shrimp, vegetables and the gravy were not integrated well.
We had the Weeping Tiger, Pad Thai, Pad See Ewe, Waterfall Beef Salad, Laarb, Pork Skewers, Papaya Salad, & Larb meatballs. We spent about $160, which is on the high end imo.
The weeping tiger was really good along with the dipping sauce. The steak was really well seasoned & charred. Wish the piece of steak was bigger though.
The Pad Thai was good. I’m a bigger fan of Pad See Ewe though, & theirs is great as well, a must-order everytime I go. The portions of their Pad Thai & Pad See Ewe is really good.
The Waterfall Beef Salad is also a must-order everytime I go. I love this dish. My only complaint is that the portion is very small, I usually would order two whenever I go, & it’s still very little if you’re sharing.
The Laarb was pretty good. Small portions though.
The Pork Skewers were okay, not something I would care to order, but I just ordered it because we needed more meat dishes. So I had to choose between that or the chicken satay skewers.
The papaya salad is Thai style, which is not my preferred style. But it’s still good if you like Thai style. The portions are small as well though. Also, we asked for Lao style, but it did not seem like Lao style. I see on one of their reviews, another person had the same issue asking for Lao style. Maybe our understanding & the restaurant’s understanding of Lao style papaya is different? But from my experience, Lao Style is darker & they use padaek.
Prior to going I checked out their menu to see what I wanted, & saw this dish called Larb Meatballs, which I thought was interesting. I’ve never heard of it before. Once we got to the restaurant, this dish was not on the menu, but I asked them about it since it’s on their website, & they said that they can make it. I thought it was pretty good, I would definitely order it again. I just wished the portions were bigger too though, more than 4 meatballs.
I think overall, this place has really good food. Other things that I’ve had in the past that was really good was the Duck Curry (really good), the Crispy Squid, Chicken Wings, Volcano Chicken, & their fried rice is good. They also give you level of spiciness options. I’m Asian and medium (their 2nd level) was pretty spicy already lol.
My biggest complaint about this place is, their prices are very high & their portions for most of their dishes are very small, mostly their meat dishes. Like the portions on the Pad Thai & Pad See Ewe is fine, but everything else I’ve had is small, which is why for stuff like the Waterfall Beef Salad, I would always order two. One time we got the beef brisket dish, & it was like $25 for two small pieces of brisket. Me & each of my friends probably got like one small bite only. As I mentioned, we spent over $160, & that’s a lot for small portions imo. That’s why I had to add appetizers like the pork skewers, so we’d have more meat to eat, & adding from the appetizer list is cheaper. When you compare the price & portions to other Thai places in town, it’s a big difference. Before going, I even contemplated, because I was looking at menus from other places, & we would’ve spent less but gotten bigger portions elsewhere. Sweet Basil in Franklin was where I debated on going to instead, because I’ve been there before & it’s good too. Over there they have a few Family Platters that range between $36-$39. Two of those platters probably would’ve been more food than we got at Appethai & at just half the price we paid.
I love Appethai though, their food is really good. Might be the only good Thai restaurant on Milwaukee’s Northside. But I just always wished their portions were bigger, especially for the prices.
The ribeye was tender with good flavor. Green curry was great for the spice level and taste. Pad Thai was a good presentation.
