Thai Namtip

I love Thai food and normally go to the critically acclaimed Thai Taste on Crookshank. However, I wanted to take my husband somewhere nice and different so we came here. The appearance of the restaurant could use a little cleaning up; there are paper notifications kept under the glass of each table, which was odd. Also, the door hit me in the back on the way in because it swings shut quickly, so this needs to be fixed! Thai Namtip has a few vegan and gluten-free options, as is to be expected, but they are not marked. Still, it was refreshing to see some options that were different. The waitress was extremely friendly and always had a smile on her face, which I loved! The food was delicious and hot and came out extremely quickly. The biggest issue I have with Thai Namtip was the proportions of its dishes. The meals were comparatively priced to Thai Taste, yet there was about 40-50% of the food. It came out in these bowls that were comparative to a salad bowl and that was all you got (excluding rice, but those proportions were halved as well). So while the food was delicious, it was also expensive given how little of it there was. For this reason alone, we probably won't come back. I hope Thai Namtip will improve on these things. If they do, they would definitely be in the running for the best Thai restaurants in Cincinnati.

Great food, really awesome staff and some great gluten free options. The staff seem really concerned with ensuring food is what you need it to be and our waitress knew right away if things were GF safe
