4 /5 Steve Deligan: Nice take-out Thai place in PT. There is better Thai food in PT though if you’re more concerned about the food than convenience.
123 Thai does have tables, but they’re pretty sketchy and the place really isn’t intended as an eat-in restaurant.
The menus really need a refresh. And I literally mean the menus… They are taped to their large refrigerators and have all their prices taped over. You really don’t know how much anything costs. It’s weird.
Service is nice. The main guy who usually runs the front is super nice. They have a large crew working the completely open kitchen. Service is fairly quick though not “fast food” by any means.
So… the food: It’s very good but not great Thai food. It’s usually a touch soggy and just slightly bland compared to better sit-down restaurants. For example, their Pad Thai actually tastes and eats better when it’s heated up later or the next day. Straight from the restaurant though, it’s soggy. That said, the Pad Thai is really pretty good all things considered. Fried egg rolls are generic.
If you want quick Thai to take to the Pourhouse or home, then this place is fine. If you want high end Thai, there’s a better spot in town… just look it up (there are only two in PT).
Prices are not cheap though and are just slightly less than the full-service Thai restaurant that has better food. For value, it could be better.
All in all, this place has a big local following and is quite popular. Solid food with nice and quick service. Just know what to expect from this take-away spot.
