Review: Logan’s thai house
I don’t think there’s anything better than eating at local restaurants and trying out different cuisines, so when I had the opportunity to eat at the Thai House (51 W 200 S) in Logan, I was thrilled.
It has come to my attention that some people do not know of the goodness that is Thai food, so this is me illustrating its glory. Thai food, for those who haven’t had the pleasure of eating it, often includes five main flavor towns: salty, sweet, spicy, sour and bitter. Salty as in a light note that is hardly noticeable until after your third bite of food, you find yourself in need of water. That salt is nearly untraceable because of the sweet flavor (which is completely addicting, by the way). Spicy as in your nose turns into a waterfall, spicy. I could go on, but the conclusion is the same: Thai food is delicious.
Because I understand that my taste buds are different from other people’s taste buds, I decided to conduct a sort of Thai House experiment. My hypothesis? Thai food, specifically Thai food at Logan’s Thai House, is a delicious experience for people with different preferences. My subjects? A picky eater and a foodie. Oh, and me (a bridge between the two).
Self-proclaimed picky eater Shelby Gatherum ordered potstickers, an ideal choice for her palette.
“The potstickers were yummy,” Gatherum remarked. “They didn’t fall apart, which was nice. I could bite into one and not worry about it falling apart. The ginger soy sauce that came with the potstickers was tasty and tangy but didn’t hurt my mouth.”
Not hurting her mouth was a critical part of Gatherum’s takeout experience.
She confidently stated, “I would 100% go there again.”
Shelby wasn’t the only one who enjoyed her take-out experience.
Natalie Lott is a self-proclaimed foodie, which in her words means that she likes trying new foods. She has been to Logan’s Thai House before, so she’s had the opportunity to try several menu items.
“I like the Thai House because I like the atmosphere and the food,” Lott explained. “I have had the curry, the lamb, the pad thai and most of the sides … my favorite thing I’ve had there is probably the pad 
.”
Lott thoughtfully described her favorite dish at the Thai House: pad thai.
“It doesn’t have too much fish oil, it’s more peanut-based, so it’s heartier,” she continued. “I am a hearty noodle type of gal.”
Lott also highlighted another Thai House dish.
“I like their curry because it is delicious, but I also like the curry at Tandori Oven. If you like Tandori Oven you would like the Thai house curries.”
Like Lott, I am thoroughly obsessed with the pad thai at the Thai House. As a gluten-free, dairy-free human being, finding restaurants I can eat at has been a real struggle and a constant source of anxiety. Luckily, the Thai House pad thai is both gluten-free and dairy-free and includes a vegetarian option. It’s honestly the best pad thai I have ever had and is enough for two meals (unless I’m feeling particularly starving).
But food isn’t the only thing worth mentioning at the Thai House. Both Gatherum and Lott remarked on the wonderful staff there.
“I was extremely impressed with how fast they got us our food,” Gatherum said. “She had said our food would be ready in 15 minutes and then it was like two.”
“We always get the same waiter and she is so nice!” Lott said.
Good food and great service? Need we ask for more? Due to COVID-19, the Thai House has switched to take out only, with dinner beginning at 3 p.m. For those of you in need of good date ideas, look no further.
As Natalie suggests, “You will be like, ‘Yo, I’m not going to take you to the same place you went last week because this is new and this is different.’”
Needless to say, my hypothesis was correct. No matter your personal taste, you’re sure to find something to eat at the Thai House that will satisfy your stomach and your craving.
