Begun by Suweera Thongthaisiri and Sutsawat Promkul in 1976 Weera Thai-Larb Ped still stands in Chiang Mai, and since 2010 son Peter Thonguthaisiri has opened three Weera Thai Restaurants here in Las Vegas expanding on that concept.
Most recently launched at the corner of Rainbow and Warm Springs, an expansive footprint including the fast-paced kitchen open from 11:00am to 10:00pm daily, it is amidst flowers and medium woods that guests are invited to begin with Cocktails, Thai Tea or Coffee.
Referencing Isaan traditions and Thai Street-Food, golden Pastry packed with Chicken Curry decidedly the latter, Suweera’s ground duck with Herbs, Lime and Chili is a signature for good reason while Thai Beef Jerky is excellent with or without dipping Sauce.
Less impressed with Tom Kah, thin and without the expected complexity, Issan Sausage is best saved for Lotus of Siam which will leave more room to indulge in deep-fried Papaya Salad served with Dressing on the side to preserve its texture.
Offering crispy Duck with an assortment of Rice and Noodles, its addition to traditional Pad Thai magnifying neither though both are good, Pad See Ew proved a bit stick while Beef Panang Curry came loaded with Meat and a good bit of heat.
Diverse across the Dessert menu, Durian and Taro offered alongside fried Bananas and Mango Sticky Rice, those seeking something less commonly found in Las Vegas should consider Roti that is crispy but pliable beneath housemade Coconut Ice Cream.
