Chanon Thai Cafe

Tonight's order from Chanon really disappointed. The Guya-Teaw Pad Kee Mao (#28) had literally no sauce on it or flavor at all and was way more noodles than vegetables. The Pad Thai (#25) also seemed to lack sauce and flavor. This was not our experience last time so we were surprised. Will try again and hope this was just a fluke.

Incredible cuisine and stellar service! The atmosphere is warm and cozy and I felt very at home. The staff was incredibly attentive and friendly. The menus are informative and educational. Cannot recommend Chanon Thai Cafe enough!

My first visit there with my wife was phenomenal - great food, friendly staff, and they shared some delicious Kombucha samples. So much so that decided to go out of our way to go there again this past Friday night, which is saying a lot given the choice of Thai places around.
We were pushing for time, as their website and Google said they closed at 8:30. We arrived at 8:15, were seated, then the waitress abruptly came back, said they were closed and took back our menus. No apologies, she just walked away.
Now, I understand if they wanted to close early on a slow night. There were only 3 other

Excellent food!! Calamari, Pork Potstickers, Gang Massaman, Lard Na all excellent!! Owner took our order and very courteous. There were several customers picking up take out orders.

Good? Yes. Great? No. Not much to say except they have a huge selection, the food is good, it feels authentic, good service. If you want a solid Thai dining experience, this place usually delivers. Don’t expect your socks to be knocked off.

This thai place used to be great when I used to come here years and years ago and I am happy to report that this is still the case. It used to remind me of having dinner with family with mismatched dishes and kids artwork and it was lovely to see the same essence after so many years.
The place was busy as you can see phones ringing and people coming for take out orders. There was one person handling the phones and the tables so it seemed a bit chaotic but she always had a smile on her face and was gracious. We ordered the food but our toddler was hungry so they got her some rice and peanut sauce

This place has some great food ! No doubt we decided to try something new & as always trying new places to eat is always challenging weather to see if it's going to be good or bad so here's my review.

Pros: Great amazing food , so many choices to choose from , service is good too they are really friendly & always asking if you need something . Overall a great vibe & friendly home style food , it was our first time trying Thai food & we loved it!

CONS: If your planning to dine in expect to wait a little longer they get really busy here and it seems little they also do

Solid home style Thai. The larb chicken is the best that I've had; juicy, flavorful and served with fresh veggies.

This place does get busy. Our takeout order took about an hour so I'd definitely recommend placing your order online well ahead of time.

My husband and I stopped in here on a whim and we are so glad we did! It appears to be a family run business, a bit of a dive atmosphere inside (they also have outdoor seating), but that only adds to the charm. We sat in a corner filled with plants of all shapes and sizes accompanied by a card that explains the owner rehabilitates the plants on the brink of death and then sells them for charity - love it!

As for the food, the Tom Yum was fabulous, chock full of veggies, as was both curries that we tried. The service was quick and friendly, we even ordered more to go!

Very chaotic restaurant, slow service - but we came for the food. Spring rolls were very average (frozen maybe?) but curries were great. The only thing that I would change about the curry options is more spicy curries. I love spicy food and i would love something with good heat. We might come back!

This is my favorite Thai place! The quality of food is amazing. One time I accidentally ordered online on their day off, and they called me to let me know! I was able to delay my order for the next day (and had a dream that night about the coconut curry). I've always been able to easily order takeout, which is fantastic.

The people commending the pad Thai in other comments are out their minds. The Tom Yum soup was so delicious I had high hopes for the pad Thai and couldn't have been more disappointed. The dish was basically dry, stuck together rice noodles with some scrambled egg, peanuts, and pork thrown on top. It was quite literally the dryest pad Thai I've ever had.

I wish I had looked at the photos before ordering. Take a look. The pad Thai even looks dry in the photos.

Chanon step your game up

Staff is beyond incredible. 5 stars for customer service and friendly service. Ambiance is eclectic and enjoy the outdoor dining. Can be a bit too sunny with limited shad options. I like my Thai with more sauce. Felt a bit bland. Meats were tender and cooked well.

I had one of the best meals of my LIFE at this cafe. I was craving larb, so we stopped at this small restaurant for dinner. The staff was so warm and funny, and I love the laid-back atmosphere of this place. They were clearly slammed in the kitchen, so we waited a while for our food - it was SO worth it. The pork larb was honestly one of the single most flavorful dishes I have ever eaten, and I was losing my mind - I couldn't even talk, I was so blown away by this meal. My partner got the khee mao noodles and seemed happy with his food. We will definitely come back to Chanon when we are

This is our favorite Thai place in the valley. I have never had a bad meal here.

I recommend the waterfall salad (Num tok). It is perfection and the flavors are bright and fresh. I have had waterfall salad at a number of places and Chanon has the best. Their Mango Sticky rice is also my favorite I have had a round. The flavor and texture is perfect and I liked it served warm.

We have also tried many of the curries to our delight. One of my favorite Thai dishes is The Tom Kha soup and the one here is perfection. The fresh lime juice is something you don't want to pass up. It is almost

Second time here. Still really good! Calamari was a curve ball when it turned out to be Octopus!! Sauce was great, Octopus wasn't that good. Not sure how that got by.

Great food in customer service! Warm atmosphere, we came from California and look forward to coming back.

Found this place by chance after another local Thai place had closed down. Awesome food, great prices, wonderful service. Loved this place. Fun to eat out on their front patio on a sunny day. Gang Massaman was tasty, and their Mango Sticky Rice is unreal!

Wow was this incredible. A flavor punch with every bite! The homemade kombucha was a delight and BBY at the best I've had.

Beef salad
Papaya salad
Yellow chicken curry
Fig blueberry orangezest kombucha

Hands down best Thai place in SLC! I've tried many while living here and this is the best bang for your buck. You get tons of great food for a great price. Plus the staff is awesome, involved in the community, and tries to reduce their waste by reusing boxes, not providing silverware unless needed. They are great and their food is great! Also don't forget to grab some homemade kombucha!

My personal fav is the massaman curry, I get this at least once a month!

Have only ever heard good things. We ordered Drunken Noodles, Massaman, Egg Rolls, Potstickers and Thai Tea. Our meal was excellent. Flavorful, filling, and hot!! We are used to spicy foods, but Chanon does a number on your tastebuds. Even a 2 on their scale is almost uncomfortably spicy, still worth it :-)
The biggest downside was that they completely forgot the noodles for my Drunken Noodles so it was basically just a veggie stir-fry. Delicious, but I wish I could have a do-over to get what we actually paid for.

Biggest bonus/surprise was the bouquet of free, beautiful flowers they gave us with

Ordered takeout for the first time from Chanon. Always wanted to give them a try, so we figured it would be a nice break from the Thanksgiving leftovers. Sadly, I was not very impressed. Eerie feeling when I walked in to pick up the food, very disorganized and frantic, guess cause it was a busy night? Other patrons awkwardly sitting around waiting for their takeout as well. The owners children were running around and screaming...
Food was ok. My husband and son said theirs was good. I got green curry, usually one of my favorites. I like spicy, so I got medium. Good heat level, but it didn&apos

This place is one of local favorites and we want to support small businesses. Unfortunately they do not seem to be following any of the COVID precautions. Upon picking up our to-go order, there were 5 employees and 0 of them were wearing a mask. There were also children here (likely family) who were unmasked and running around the dining room.

Sadly our take-out order was also delayed by nearly an hour for some unexplained reason. No acknowledgment or apology was offered. This was definitely out of the norm for them but disappointing nonetheless.

Great Thai food in an enjoyable casual dining environment.

We came just after 5:30 on a Sun night and were able to get seated right away. Interesting experience as it seemed the owners kids were the "hosts" seating us, providing menus and getting us water. Pretty funny.

My son went with the Pad Kee Mao ($11) with drunken noodles and really enjoyed it. I ordered the Gang Keow Wan/Green Curry ($11) and it was excellent. Generously loaded with chicken.

The place was hopping with people dining in as well as take out orders - so it was a little slow as a result.

Service was very friendly

Hands down, my favorite place for Thai food in the Salt Lake Valley. I've only visited a handful of times, but every time that I do go, I am just blown away by the depth of flavor that their dishes hold.

The people who work there are so genuinely kind, caring, and attentive.

I have tried the pad thai, curries, stir fry, and papaya salad dishes.

All of the ingredients are very fresh !

Endless options for vegans and vegetarians.

I love that they have spice levels (mild, medium, hot, 1-10). I've asked for a 7 before and it did not disappoint.

Very good Thai food in a small strip location. Service was good and the menu has a good selection of dishes. We ordered shrimp tempura, massaman curry, chicken noodle dish, and everything was delicious. They bring the dishes out as they are finished so it is hot and made to order. They offered Brown, white or a sticky rice... the brown rice was well cooked. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

Not very impressive with the food--most of them were way too sweet. Not a whole of herbs in the Tom yum but a LOT of mushrooms floating and some tiny shrimps. Moo Yang was a bit tough. The duck curry tasted good though. But the service was extremely slow and not very warm in my opinion. Oh yes, expect a long wait with all the available tables just right there but nobody came to seat you.
