Reviews Summary
Like My Thai is celebrated for its delicious and flavorful Asian cuisine, with many praising Chef Mike's live cooking and the restaurant's welcoming atmosphere.

"In almost a decade of Like My Thai, I have never been served anything here that wasn’t absolutely delicious. Everything is always fresh and bursting with flavour- you cannot go wrong with anything on the menu. It is not pretentious, and the portions always fill you up. I love this place- I have had a lot of fun, and course of life changing memories in this restaurant. I wish Mike many more prosperous years to come."

"Very cool spot right in the heart of downtown. I got the pad Thai with chicken and shrimp level 5 spice (which is the max) and it was delicious. I will say it could have used a little more meat for the $15 price point and had a slight kick but I was expecting some serious heat. Overall very solid and would definitely hit this place again."

"Pros- Lucky to have a great Thai restaurant in downtown Erie that is all-inclusive. Friendly server & chef. Loved the local art on display. Clean restrooms. Good portions & great flavors! Chicken Satay Skewers; very moist & succulent with 2 dipping sauces; sweet chili & traditional peanut sauce. Both were perfect. They were very accommodating on the few modifications we asked for. I ordered a noodle stir-fry with delicious marinated tofu. Watch the spice level, though. I got 4 out of 5, but I should have gotten the 3 or 2. I like heat, but it was a lot for me, but still, I ate it all. Not outrageous pricing. We were full too.
.
Cons- Back restaurant seating and open kitchen were dark. Heavy metal, long-hair rock music with wailing electric guitar music was not appropriate, but probably favored by the owner/chef. Something mellower, international, would've been better. I asked if the music could be changed and was told no. Lack of parking can be an issue, unfortunately.
.
Definitely would return, but for less spicy, and I'll bring some ear plugs."
