Food was absolutely delicious, but we waited well over an hour for our food at a table of 5.
Food was great, ambience was great. Only one server in the place, person should come and ask how food was much sooner than end of dinner.
The food was good, the noodles amazing. The only issue was we weren't informed that a part of our order wasn't available until all the food arrived, which means one person in our party had to sit and wait for a really long time until something else could be made. If you're out of something let us know right away.
My experience at The Taste Thai Cuisine in Amherst, MA, was a mix of highs and lows. While the food had its moments of delight, the overall experience left much to be desired.
We decided to opt for take-out and ordered the fresh mango roll, chicken red curry, and fried rice. Unfortunately, the fresh mango roll was a bit of a letdown. Despite its name, there was hardly any mango to be found. Instead, it was overloaded with cabbage and carrot, making it taste more like a vegetable roll rather than the delightful mango-infused treat we were expecting.
On the brighter side, the chicken red curry and fried rice managed to impress. The flavors were bold and authentic, and the chicken was tender, making the curry a standout dish. The fried rice was equally satisfying, packed with rich flavors that complemented the main course perfectly.
However, the service at The Taste Thai Cuisine left much to be desired. When we arrived around 8:40 pm, the establishment was already preparing to close at 9 pm. We inquired if they would still take our order, and they assured us it wouldn't be a problem, saying they would close around 9 pm. We were cautiously optimistic but proceeded to place our order. The confusion arose when we asked how long it would take to prepare the food. They mentioned it would be ready in 20 minutes. This raised a concern: if the restaurant closes at 9 pm and the food takes 20 minutes to prepare, we were unsure when we could actually pick up our order. It seemed like an organizational oversight that marred the overall experience. Additionally, when we requested plates for our take-out order, we were surprised to find that they had run out of them. This lack of basic supplies detracted from the professionalism of the establishment. The Taste Thai Cuisine in Amherst, MA, offered a somewhat mixed experience. The lack of mango in the fresh mango roll and the absence of plates were noticeable drawbacks. However, the chicken red curry and fried rice did manage to salvage the meal, displaying genuine Thai flavors that satisfied our taste buds. Nevertheless, the confusion over the closing time and food preparation left us feeling somewhat dissatisfied.

Came here while visiting friends at UMass. Seemed like a pretty cool place. I got the Massaman Curry and it tasted pretty standard. Great thai food in general, but the wait times were pretty long. It seems they're understaffed -- a lot of people came in with take-out orders and there was only one lady balancing that and all the dine-in orders :(
Very charming little restaurant in downtown Amherst. Always enjoy the food, my partner is obsessed with Drunken Noodle and this place passed her quality control with flying colors. Very clean, warm atmosphere great for a date night or a casual outing.
My family and I visited a couple weekends ago! Food was delicious.. our favorite mango/spring rolls were impressive, and the Thai ice tea! I actually went back just for their tea! We will certainly put as one of our favorites!
