I may regret reviewing this...it is seriously Salt Lake's best kept secret. – The prices are average to slightly high for most dinner dishes. This, however, is more than made up for with the intense and rich flavoring of the meals. It may take a little effort to find because it is an old strip mall; but according to Freakonomics that makes for a great tasting restaurant (lower facility costs = better tasting food). I am seriously addicted to their Som Tum (I'm checking in to Papaya Salad Eaters Anonymous), Green Curry, and a... read more

LOVE IT!!!!!!! – I've been to Thailand a few times and to Thai restaurants around the US and this place is the best Thai food I have ever had!!! Friendly service and delicious food. What more could you ask for? Oh yeah, the food isn't expensive either!!! Must go there to experience it...... Every time I go there I enjoy it more. Every time I take a new friend there they love it as well... On Valentines day I took my girlfriend (now wife) there for her first time and now she begs me to take her there every week!!! It definite... read more

this is the real deal – If you want real thai food, you need not look any further. This is the real deal, as hot as you can handle it, or americanized, like thai siam. sawadee

cozy, delicious and the best in town – We just moved here from the Portland area where Thai food is readily available. This is the best I've had!

Best Thai food I have ever had (really)! – I had the pleasure of dining at Chanon Thai Cafe while I was visiting friends in Salt Lake. What really amazed me about the food was how authentic it was (where the heck do you get galangal root in SLC?). I've eaten Thai cuisine in many cities and several countries, and this was hands down the best. And as a plus, if you ask for it really spicy, that's the way they'll serve it to you. Friendly people, good hours, amazing food. I hope you SLC folks realize how lucky you are! :-)

Fantastic and Authentic! – My husband and I recently moved to Park City from Washington, DC - a town full of great thai restaurants. We've tried virtually every thai restaurant in Salt Lake and came across Chanon by accident. It is the best we've tried and they are very willing to make the dishes the way you like them. Try the green chicken curry. I like mine with eggplant and they are willing to "doctor" it up to my request. All around great food!

Best Thai restaurant, best Thai curry! – I'm a Thai who has been always looking for a place that can offer 'real' good Thai food and I have to say that Chanon is my #1 place that I'll recommend to my friends or anyone who wants to eat real Thai food! If you want to eat sweet Thai food, don't come here, they don't make sweet food. I've tried every Thai restaurant here and I have to say that nobody can make real good curry like Chanon does. They have the most cozy, cute place. The price is very reasonable. My husband and I fel... read more

Best Thai in Salt Lake City. – Chanon Thai Cafe is consistently amazing. I've been going there since it opened about a year ago and I've never had a bad experience. It's cozy and comfortable, the staff is friendly and remembers me every time, the coconut soup and noodle dishes are to die for (especially the pad thai, which is usually way too sweet everywhere else I've been in SLC), and everything's fresh in perfect portions. The lunch deal is great, too - my friend and I had lunch and spent around $15 together. I hope this p... read more

Best Thai in town – I am a fan of a couple of other Thai places in town, but Chanon is the best in my opinion. It is also surprisingly cheap (especially at lunch). The spring rolls are their weakest offering but their soups and entrees are amazing. The service is excellent although English is an issue sometimes. They are happy to customize dishes to accomodate vegetarians etc. And if you need dinner Sunday night, they are there for you. They do serve wine and beer.
