Delicious food! Great service! Will definitely be back!
The wings were very flavorful, the yellow curry was amazing, and the chicken house fried rice was tasty. Loved how fresh the mango sticky rice was. Lastly the Thai Tea was delicious, lots of flavor as well as I’ve had bland ones before, this was great!
Also week days they have a $3 Thai tea and spring roll combo add on to any entree, totally worth it!

Okay, what just happened... this food was amazing! I RARELY leave 5 star reviews but Gen Thai Street Food absolutely deserves it. We got the Pad Thai (my go-to and litmus test for Thai food) as well as the basil chicken (never had it before). The pad Thai was great even if it was just the slightest bit drier than what I would call perfect, the flavor was on point. The basil chicken- highly, highly recommend! Instant staple dish. It was crispy and flavorful even after having it delivered. Also had the papaya salad which was a great side dish, and it was quite a bit cheaper than what I've seen before. Prices are solid; $12 - $13 for a healthy sized serving which will serve as lunch tomorrow. Recommend with enthusiasm!

Great food. I had the pineapple chicken curry and my husband had the yellow curry and egg rolls. The spice was just right and the vegetables and the curry were fresh. Amazing flavor. We will definitely be back.

If you lived in the area before, you would know the previous place was also a Thai restaurant. This place is much better than the old one that was there. So much flavor in all the dishes we have tried so far, to the point Ive started to try dishes I haven't before. We will continue to come back more.

I was so excited to try this place because I was craving Thai food. The restaurant was clean.I ordered the Panag curry with chicken. The chicken was overcooked, chewy and dry. The rice was on the side and presented in a to-go bowl, which would be handy if I had leftovers. But it did not keep the rice warm while I ate. Half the veggies were undercooked as well.
The music choice during lunch was similiar to 93.3 radio station, great for your commute, but not ideal for lunch.
