Satay Thai Bistro & Bar

Every year at NAB we book this restaurant for a private party. Every year, the food has been excellent. Because the party is so busy, service can be a little slow, but I imagine that would not be an issue under normal circumstances. The veggie dishes are yummy, especially the fried tofu.

Panang curry was very nice, I also ordered the eggplant dish pretty darn average. My coconut I had wasn’t fresh had moulding on the outside. The lunch specials and happy hour would be the best time to come in save some money. Not the best Thai food in Vegas but it’s okay for a cheeky little stop.

Food is sooo good! Highlights:
Drinks — Ask Manager Hicham for their secret signature Coconut Mojito! Love fresh coconut & Thai boba.
Appetizers — Satay (Skewers), Thai wings, Tom Ka Soup (Tom yum soup with coconut milk, so good!), Basil Fries!
Main Dishes — 1) Pad See Eew (Stired Fried Fat rice noodle w. Beef or Chicken, I like beef better), 2) Curry (definitely it’s a must! If like a bit sweeter, I love Penang Curry, if not, Mama Curry is less sweet) 3) Curry Laksa (curry noodle soup, so authentic Malaysian food!) 4) Thai Basil Fried Rice
Desserts — 1) Mango Sticky Rice (mmmmm…) 2) fried Banana (love it with Ice-​cream! Hot & Cold)!
Service — Everyone is very friendly & helpful!
Atmosphere — hip! Play upbeat Coffee House music!
Good for — lunches, friends’ gathering, business, or banquets, big party booking, family dinners. Oh, they have a indoor-​patio, sometimes they have Paint Night with Wine & Food! Fun! Or buy-​out for private events.
Happy Hour: Yes! Mon– Fri 4−7pm. Omg! Basil fries and Salt & Pepper shrimp are my fav! :)

I got the lemongrass chicken with coconut rice. For my friend and I, we couldn’t really taste the coconut flavor. We also got an order of the roti. It was ok.

I’m just writing this review based on the chili fried chicken because it’s probably the best fried chicken from an Asian restaurant I’ve ever had. Yes, customer service was great, and I did order mediocre honey walnut and shrimp and Mongolian beef, but the fried chicken is to die for which is why I’m giving this place 5 stars!!! The texture of the chicken is so pristine; it’s crunchy with every bite you take. The chili sauce adds to the chicken to give it an immaculate taste. I loved the sauce so much I found myself dipping my broccoli from my honey walnut shrimp into it and eating it. You guys need to come to the Bay Area because I for sure would be there all the time just to order the fried chicken! I don’t know how popular this place is in Vegas for locals but it deserves to get recognized for their amazing fried chicken!
*request to owners: can you guys brighten the restaurant little bit? I wasn’t a big fan of reading the menu under a dim light where I was seated. Thanks!

I’m from Orange County, CA but I’m in Vegas for the weekend with a friend and we wanted to eat something different for dinner tonight. We found Satay on Unilocal and knew it would be a good choice. I got the Thai iced tea and my friend got the taro slush, both were perfect. We ordered the Tom Yum soup with chicken which was so delicious and the perfect appetizer. So flavorful and the perfect amount of spice. My friend ordered the panang curry and loved it! I got the drunken noodles with chicken and they were amazing as well. Some of the best Thai food I’ve ever had and I’ve had a lot being from OC where we have lots of Thai options. Next time I’m in Vegas I’ll be back and will tell people about it if they’re ever in town!

We have been coming to this place for the last 3 years and it has been a hit or miss in the service department. The food for the most part has been great, but the staff quality has depreciated. You never know if you will get the right meal on time or who your server is half the time. They are busy during lunch and never increase staff or service quality during rush hour.

On my first visit, I tried the garlic basil fries and the vegan egg rolls and they were delicious! The garlic basil fries were crispy and not greasy. You could taste the basil and if you like spice, dip your fries in the chili sauce. The vegan egg rolls were nice and crispy as well and not mushy. You could readily identify every vegetable in the roll and it also paired well with either the sauce it came with or the chili sauce. Although I do not eat meat, my friends got the chili chicken wings and they smelled amazing.
On my second visit, I tried the curry samosas and the flavor was a savory blend of curry, potatoes, onions, and carrots. I am not sure what the chutney dip was that’s served with this, but it was sweet and I definitely used all of it. I also shared the Pad Woon Sen with my friend and we had it made with tofu and it was just the right amount if you are sharing and getting an appetizer. The best part of the entire meal was the dessert! I am normally not a big fan of mango any other way than freshly sliced… until I tried the mango sticky rice. The mango, sauce, and sticky rice was delicious and was a light finish to a great meal.

Loved it. We ordered pretty much everything on the menu. Some notables was the chicken pad thai, garlic veggie dishes, chicken wings, green curry and Tom yum soup. Our waiter Manuel was awesome. We really enjoyed our meal and at as much as we could. I’ve been to Thailand a few times and this food is genuine.

Tasty! Full of flavors. The Staff were friendly and helpful with the items on the menu. The restaurant has a nice cool vibe. The food was full of flavors! Entrees were: Calamari, Chicken/​Beef Satay, Chicken Pad Thai, Duck Curry, Lemongrass Chicken & Garlic Eggplant with Veggies. Desserts: Mango & Sticky Rice & Fried Banana Fritters with Vanilla Ice Cream.

The servers were nice but I got the red duck curry and it was the greasiest, worst duck curry I’ve ever had :(literally about a half inch of grease on top of some badly mixed curry. The spices were very sub-​par and bland, almost flavorless except for the heat-​kick of the spice and basil after taste. The duck itself was full of gristle and slightly over cooked.

Perfect Place to unwind great quaint clean atmosphere. Server was attentive and sweet:) Singha beer and Chicken wings are perfect combo the wings were DELICIOUS! I had to get and order to go! LOL. Recommend you try both. I will come back soon for dinner:).

We had dinner here a few days ago and had a great experience. Staff was friendly and the restaurant was cute and clean. The place was a little empty so we actually had 2 waiters and therefore were well taken care of.
The food was delicious! We ordered a variety of things from the menu and everything was great. My dad especially enjoyed their orange chicken. It was crisp and sweet and not all greasy like other places. We’d definitely come back the next time we’re in Vegas.

Thanks to Unilocal and Unilocalers I was able to find this place. This place is just a couple of streets off the Vegas strip. The location is just near Caesars Palace and MGM were we stayed.
After walking in there is a nice bar towards the back and plenty of open seating areas. It’s definitely above average. The waiter was nice and service was good.
I ordered the Laksa noodles, small plates of duck and Thai beef jerky. My son had the lemongrass grilled chicken. Everything was excellent. This is by far my second favorite Thai restaurant in Vegas. It’s my favorite for serving Laksa. The beef jerky was great too. It wasn’t hard and chewy but just soft and lean with a little crisp. The dipping sauce was very good. The lemongrass chicken dish was very good too. Nice marinade and grill to it.
When and if in Vegas again I will return to this place for some awesome Laksa.

I only ordered one dish cuz i was in a hurry but I was impressed! I had the spicy flat noodles and it was delicious… no leftovers! Probably not the most authentic Thai joint I’ve been to but who cares if the food is good!!! Inside was a bit dressier than casual when I went cuz lots of people were on dates. I was dressed in my coaches gear so I stood out. Might be casual during the day but evening looked more date night casual. Good service, good prices… would return!

A nice Thai joint off the strip. Just short walk, across from The Hard Rock Hotel. Great food and good prices. Menu had a great selection of entrées and small plates. Portions were perfect. Not too much, not too little.
We came in for lunch and the service was attentive and friendly. The restaurant wasn’t too busy so it was a nice, chill ambiance. Most of us ordered from the Lunch Special menu.
I enjoyed my L3 Spicy Basil with beef and coconut rice. It was wok-​fried with green beans, bell peppers, & basil leaves. Yum! And washed it down with a Thai Iced Coffee. You can choose your level of heat (1 – 10) on most of the dishes and i enjoyed a level 5 for my dish. I may try a 7 or 8 next time.

I was in town for a convention and added Satay to my regular dinner rotation.
The first night I went I tried the Crab Rangoon and the Pad See Ew. The Crab Rangoon was alright and arrived quickly. I usually order Pad Thai and decided to try the Pad See Ew instead. It was good but I think I was looking for a different flavor.
The second night I ordered the Pad Thai. It’s a solid sized portion and full of flavor. A nice version of a classic dish.
Service at Satay is friendly and fast. Whether I was sitting at a table or at the bar the staff as always attentive and polite.

OOOH MY GAWD!!! So good, clean and Miguel was phenomenal!!! Please open one in Phoenix! So glad we came…

Great Thai food!!! service was quick and friendly. Food was amazing! great options and prices were reasonable. presentation was cool too. will be back next time in town!

Had a great lunch here with my wife. We ordered shrimp Singapore noodles and shrimp phring Khing (spelling???). Both were excellent. Service was good as we had a late lunch (2:30) and there were only 5 – 6 tables filled. Nice ambiance. I ordered my entrées with 6 – 7 spicy, which was perfect. Spicy enough to treat your tongue without overwhelming the flavored of the other ingredients
Coming here again next time in Vegas. Highly recommend.

Great place for locals and tourists, service is always on point. It’s been the same guys for a couple years now so they know what they are doing.
Food is very good, broad selection, very good quality and authentic for American Thai. Lived in America 5yrs been eating there for 4yrs and will continue.

Awesome food, beautiful ambience and terrific service !! Their chicken pad thai, beef rendang and panang curry are out of this world !!

So since my first review, my boyfriend and I, along with several combinations of friends and my parents, have been here probably more than half a dozen times. I still LOVE the Thai beef jerkey and the nasi goreng. I order these every time without fail. Their Boba slushies are also very good. A friend of ours who has come several times seems to really love the curry.
The staff here are always friendly and attentive. I like that they will still refill your water even when you’ve already paid the bill but are just hanging out catching up with friends. It shows that they appreciate their customers and are not trying to rush them out. We have used the point card religiously and have gotten the $ 10 off coupon 2 or 3 times already.
My dad is one of the pickiest eaters out there and when he and my mom visit from Hawaii, this has been one of his favorite places. Take it from me, but also take it from my dad, when we say this place is awesome.

I work near by so I am some what a regular here. :)
Love the staff! Fast and efficient service and amazing food. Some of our favorites here are Basil Fired Rice, Spicy Basil Chicken, Garlic Chicken, Pad Thai, and Thai Beef Jerky. The best taste each and every time, they have yet to fail me. :)

This long established Thai & Malaysian restaurant has been flying under my radar until recently. We shared orders of pad prik khing with shrimp (wok-​fried shrimp with green beans & lime leaves in a Thai chili galangal curry) and char kway teow with chicken (flat rice noodles wok-​fried Malaysian style with chives, bean sprouts, & eggs). Both dishes delivered a generous portion of protein and had good flavor.

We came in party of 6 around 8pm. The establishment did not even half of the room filled. We were seated and were not greeted with drink orders until someone finally came to us 15 or so minutes. Server never checked up on us only came to take and bring orders in a half empty room. Wonder how the service would be in a full room.

Celebrated my sis in law’s birthday here and we had a very good experience. I had been craving for laksa, and this place serve them so we thought of giving them a try. Iam very pleased to have tried this place. Their laksa is very good! Comparable to those i have had in singapore. We also got some stir fry noodles and they were awesome. In short, this place has good food and good ambience. I secretly asked Gina (their staff that day) if i can buy a dessert and have them put a candle on top of it for my sister in law and she said she would do it for free! Awesome! She’s very sweet. The dessert we got was a sorbet topped with fruits and it was the bomb. They even sang happy birthday to my sister in law. If ever im in vegas again, im definitely coming back.

Best curry in Vegas.
Servers rock
The place is super cute and clean.
No complaints! ^_^

Alright look, I won’t be long. Just needed to say:
1. The fried rice was amazing, and every bite almost made me tear up.
2. I really enjoyed the music playing while we were there. Our server put me on to Black Coffee, so thanks man.
Can’t wait to come back and try more of their menu.

I ate lunch here with a group of 8 other ladies. It was highly recommended by a colleague who had eaten there the day before. Our large group was seated immediately.
We were all very impressed by the menu. They have a TON of options, and lots of pictures to see what many of the dishes look like. I ordered a taro root boba smoothie, and a green curry with coconut rice. Their spicy-​meter goes from 1 – 10, and our server told us that it starts to get very spicy at 7. My dish was spicy, but I like a lot of spice, so our server brought some additional sauces for us, which some of us did end up using. My smoothie was delicious — nice and smooth with great flavor. My curry dish was also excellent, and I really like the cocount rice. I am not used to seeing that on menus, but it was recommended by our server.
All in all, everyone at our table was happy with their meals. The portion size was perfect. We were all staying at a hotel, so we didn’t want leftovers. The portion size was good and filling, without excess.
This place is definitely worth a visit, and I would go back the next time I’m visiting Vegas.

I am enthusiastic to write this review because the food was delicious, the service was great, and the ambiance is nice.
The food was exactly what it should be. I’ve been to Asian restaurants where the rice noodles were old and hard, or the food was too salty because someone drowned the dish in soy sauce. The beef char kway teow was none of thise things. I also ordered a side of coconut rice that did not disappoint. It even came with the hot red sauce that accompanies Singapore chicken rice, and that made the coconut rice more delicious.
I was ultimately very happy with my decision, especially in a city where it seems that most restaurants are serving burgers or steak.

I’m SO excited I finally got to try this place!!! We got the fresh rolls, pad Thai, combination satay, beef panang, and curry samosas! everything tasted so incredible. I took tons of pictures of this beautiful restaurant:) I gave four stars because the restaurant was pretty empty and they didn’t really check on us for water and forgot one of our orders. It was also really weird that they brought out our appetizers with our dinner LOL
Overall I will be back! This place is one of my favorite Thai places most definitely :)

This place is decent –not bad, but not fantastic. If you’re looking for Thai food, this is a good spot. It was 110+ degrees when I came, so I was hoping the AC would be better. Otherwise, service was good and we had a fair amount of refills for the water. I ordered the pad see ew ($ 12), which is a bit pricier than I’m used to, but I like that they put in the spice for you already. You get to choose between 1 – 10 spiciness level, and I chose 8 which was perfect.

Great lunch specials, food is good.
Came here one day for lunch since my buddy was working at a show at the convention center and needed to get some quick grub. The menu is extensive and there were several items on the lunch specials menu for $ 7.95−9.95. The prices are good compared to other restaurants in town.
We ordered a Pad See Ew and the Padang curry with brown rice. Both dish were very flavorful and tasty. The rice noodles were soft and fresh. The tables and floor are clean and so are the bathrooms. Service was efficient, although a bit slow at times. Overall a good experience.

Decent HH specials, full bar available, patio seating out front. Inside looks like it was once some sort of cantina, but menu is full Thai: appreciate that they have several apps and small plate options.
GARLIC BASIL FRIES were topped with a few basil leaves but no garlic whatsoever. Extremely disappointed, as they were the item I was most excited about. They weren’t even decent fries, they were overly greasy, limp, and unseasoned.
FRESH BUDDHA ROLLS are giant spring rolls wrapped in rice paper, good value at $ 5, add shrimp for a dollar more otherwise this is a pointless order. Majority of filling is browning iceberg lettuce with some basil. Confused about why the order comes with such a miniscule amount of peanut sauce– the cup was literally less than a third full. Not worth getting without adding the shrimp
SALT AND PEPPER SHRIMP: Shrimp did not seem the freshest, no salt and pepper present in the order. Shrimp seemed leftover and reheated with mushy breading, a few sliced fresh jalapenos were thrown on top.
Tossed 2 of the 3 items I ordered. Probably would not come back. I suggest going during HH if you simply have to try it out for yourself.

Unimpressive Thai food.
I ordered the Tom Yum Soup (Thai hot and sour soup) and the Chicken Pad Thai.
The soup was bland and had an overload of mushrooms. I love mushrooms but in a bland soup where the mushroom also has no flavor, it’s a bit of an overkill… I took a few bites before setting it aside.
When my Pad Thai came out, it looked delicious! Unfortunately, it didn’t taste as good as it looked. It was pretty dry and hard to chew, so I ended up adding in a few spoonfuls of my Tom Yum soup to break apart the noodles and make it easier to eat. Sad to say, I didn’t finish this either nor take it home.
The server we had was nice though! He was both working at the bar and serving tables. He’s the only reason I’m not giving this place 1 star.
I will not be back because of the food, and do not recommend this place for good Thai food.
