A Thaiger: Reviews & Ratings
Update. 11/9/24. Went here for my birthday! This isn't a restaurant, it's an experience! Josh is amazing as are the other servers. The food, the best Thai, Japanese for hundreds of miles! Great great great! Saki amazing! Update 12/16/23 Another 10* Dinner. Josh and C.J. amazingband then the food! My wife had 2 appetizers, the Cocunut Shrimp and the Spring Rolls. I had Eel (Unagi) Sashimi which was perfect. The presentation was great and even was placed on a small bed of Sea weed!. Main course was chef speciality seafood curry spice level 5. I enjoy intense spice and hear. This food was perfect. c.j. introduced me to some different types of Saki. Many thanks C.J. will be back again and again. For my money, the best place for Thai food in the Hamilton / Missoula area, hands down! What a great find. My wife and I were looking for something. What a great surprise. I had the special Chef's curry with Calamari. Heat at 4. It was so amazing! Then some eel and wow! My wife had a combi roll with the coconut shrimp. She raved. We will be coming back and often! The wait staff was fantastic as well. A 5 star experience. Many thanks.
This is a great restaurant and my food was delicious and so was my company’s. There wasn’t really a wait to be seated, the place was packed for a Tuesday night, it seems everyone had the same idea as us and I am pretty sure everyone came just before us! The staff was friendly and accommodating, the wait for the food was longer than I’d expected but I do believe it’s because everyone came at the same time to eat. They have a huge sushi menu plus lots of options for vegan and vegetarian food and gluten free. Bonus was there was an adorable black salamander in a tank who seems to like people plus four white ones in another tank, plus some wild 3D light things that were interesting to watch. Large selection of beer and Japanese or Thai sodas as well. Had a fabulous time! Definitely will eat there again when the mood strikes me!
Great menu selections. Food was delicious. I travel all over and it’s not easy finding a place that does it everything so well! I’m looking forward to coming back and trying different items on the menu.
Walking through through the modest side street door of this joint is like dropping through a hidden trap door to someplace much livelier than a small high mountain valley town. The food is remarkable. Only someone who flew in from a coast where depths of flavor in a broth are taken for granted could fail to appreciate how much work must go into these meals. Unfortunately, such fools crawl all over this valley. Ignore them as best you can. They will adapt, or eventually, finally, thankfully leave us locals in peace. Until then, just go, enjoy, and know this Thai food is on par with some of the best you could find in NYC, LA, or wherever the heck else the honking Mercedes-drivers in this overrun little town hail from. Enjoy! It's yummy! For goodness sake have the pho, you can thank me later.
Loved it, always fresh, delicious. And a very helpful staff, t is a must go if you are in Hamior visiting. Nice open atmosphere, wll lit. And a menu for probably anyone.
A Thaiger is an explosion of flavor. The curry is rich and bold, with just the right amount of heat to keep things interesting. It’s a bit on the pricey side, but honestly, it’s one of those “just take my money” places because the food is that good. The flavors are incredibly balanced, with every ingredient working together perfectly. They know exactly how to season — not too salty, not bland — just right. Every bite feels intentional, like it was crafted with care. The way the flavors build and layer is impressive, and it’s clear they know what they’re doing in the kitchen.
One of the best places in town. Sitting gets filled fast, went in Thursday and got busy. Server are nice. Thai food was best had in Montana, sushi is what you would expect in Montana. Definitely will be back. Also has many gluten free options and soy sauce.
Great service, Anthony is a lovely server. Food full of flavor and done well. Ordered the garlic butter edamame, Thai iced tea, pad thai, and red curry dish. I travel a lot and have lived in big major cities, and am always looking for a great Thai place as it's my favorite food. This place really surprised me in a small town. Definitely going back!
