Good lunch spot
This is a very apt lunch spot. I ordered the lunch special, Tom Yum soup with mixed seafood. The soup was really tasty, there was tons of seafood, mussels, squid, and shrimp (all frozen I'm sure). There was also a lot of wide rice noodles, which were a bit overdone, but tasty. It also had crushed peanuts, which I liked. I will say that the soup was a bit too oily for my taste, but I am assuming that it is probably not the most unappetizing thing I can have for lunch. but speaking of the most unappetizing thing, the appetizer that I chose to go with this meal was the golden bag. Now there are two schools of thought on this.....If you want something delicious, get this, its incredible! If you are watching what you eat, then don't eat it. This is why I only ate one of the two that I got. These are little deep fried balls of dough, with the most spectacularly yummy stuffing, and served with a really good sauce. They had this ready for me in minutes after I placed my order. The prices were reasonable. Oh and they also throw in a drink.

I will never recommend this place
The service was rude and plain bad! The food was nothing special. The BYOB is the only thing alluring about this place. There are so many Thai restaurants in this area, so chooses elsewhere. Don't waste your time with unprofessional, rude people. I will never send my guests here.

Huge Lunch Portions
I was in the mood for some Thai coconut soup and began to scour menupages for a place nearby my work. Based on most of the reviews I picked Thai 51. The place is a bit pricy for a regular meal Thai but the lunch special is a good value. I order the coconut noodle soup and was expecting a small container. I was VERY wrong! I received a large container stuffed with a ton of chicken and noodles! The flavors were pretty good - hard to tell about the broth because there was way too much packed into the container. This would be my 0nly complaint - I wanted soup and it's like I got a noodle dish instead (with really runny coconut sauce). Next time I'll have to ask for less ingredients so I can taste the broth more....

Poor quality and rude
Will not return. The dish I ordered [chicken] was of fair quality chicken. Tasted strange. The service somewhat abrupt and slightly rude.

Not recommended
Chicken tasted spoilt and the noodles simultaneously had no flavor and a really strange aftertaste. took one mouthful and threw it out.

Great food
I went to Thai 51 with my husband and a couple of friends the other night. We had a great time. Its a small place, so don't go with a big crowd. The food portions were perfect and the food was very fresh.

Delicious
After a recent recommendation from a friend, I had to give Thai 51 a try. Awesome red curry--packed with flavor! I also ordered the green papaya salad which was lovely and refreshing. Delivery was speedy. Will definitely order again!
