Lac Thai 7 - Restaurant in Thao Dien, District 2, Ho Chi Minh City

It was such a great friday dinner at Lac Thai. All the dishes were top-knot and tasting. Highly appreciate the service from Ms. Huong as well.

The price is more expensive for Thai restaurants in the market. The Tom yum was good, the fried glass noodle with shrimps is also good. The drink with hibiscus and lychee is good. Thai restaurant but the menu doesn’t have any Thai dish name, everything is explanation in Vietnamese and English. The price on the menu is not included with VAT and service charge. The size of the portion is quite big, so you cannot try more dishes if you are with few friends. The staff were very quick to ask to remove the dish while some food is still on the pot. There are outdoor area and indoor area, street parking for motorbike, no car parking at the restaurant property.

We had such a wonderful experience enjoying Thai cuisine in Thao Dien. The food was absolutely delicious—authentic flavors, beautifully presented, and full of depth in every dish we tried. The setting is just as impressive: stylish, comfortable, and perfect for a relaxed evening out. It has a warm, intimate atmosphere that makes it an ideal spot for a date night. My wife and I truly love this place and always look forward to coming back. Highly recommended for anyone craving great Thai food in a lovely setting!

For a mid-to-upper casual restaurant, the experience did not quite match the final price. Compared to other restaurants in the area, it was disappointing. The atmosphere felt flat for a Friday night, and while the patio is lovely in the evening, the service felt disengaged, with empty dishes left on the table too long. We ordered the green curry with chicken, mango sticky rice for dessert, and two drinks. The green curry was enjoyable with a mild spiciness, but the mango sticky rice looked far better on the menu than what was served, and the cocktail was overly sweet. As noted at the bottom of the menu, the bill includes 8% VAT, a 5% service charge and a 10% charge on alcohol.

This place offers a great balance between authentic Thai flavors and a comfortable, social dining atmosphere. The setting is warm and inviting, perfect for sharing dishes with friends or family, especially in the evening when the space feels vibrant but not overwhelming. The food is clearly meant to be shared and enjoyed together. The pineapple fried rice is fragrant and well-seasoned, served generously and full of texture. The hot pots—especially the Tom Yum–style soup—are rich, aromatic, and comforting, with a good balance of sour, spicy, and savory flavors. Ingredients taste fresh, and the portions are satisfying. Drinks are refreshing and pair well with the food, helping balance the spice. Service is attentive and friendly, with staff checking in at the right moments without interrupting the flow of the meal. Overall, Lạc Thái is a great choice if you’re looking for a relaxed Thai restaurant where good food, shared plates, and a lively atmosphere come together naturally. A solid spot for a long, enjoyable dinner
