Hey Foodie Fans! You guys know we love Thai Food and they didn't disappoint! Thai Garden 1 is so delicious and it's one of our favorite restaurants to eat at. We've been back once already. They have a wonderful woman at the front of the house that we always greet saying "Hey Momma"! She holds it down! We order the Tofu Gang Dang. I like rice noodles on the side , and my wife does a side of rice. We do medium spice and it's perfect for our liking. We also order the Samosas and they are soooo good! Whoever is the chef in the kitchen knows what they are doing! The food is always fresh, hot, and so full of flavor! If you are ever in the Leo area and love Thai food, be sure to check them out! 10 out of 10! Happy Eating!

The soup is simple but flavorful. We ordered crab rangoon. Also Pad Thai & Pad Met MaMung. You can choose your meat for dish and spice level and stays same price. Best Thai food in the city. This was our 2nd time in. Will definitely be back as regulars!

Saturday lunch, I tried Thai Garden Restaurant in Leo Crossing. It is in a strip near Nolt's. Pictured below, is Pimpa from Bangkok, Thailand. She has been following my page for a little while and invited me to come see her. I'm so glad I did. I started off with an order of crab rangoon (how do you not?) It came with four pieces along with sweet and sour sauce. They were very full and definitely real crab instead of the junk some places sell. They came out smoking hot and fantastic. The sweet and sour sauce is a little more sour than sweet. Different than I'm used to, so it's worth mentioning. My entree came with a chicken broth soup. It was also served steaming hot. It looks similar to what you get at a hibachi restaurant, but a totally different flavor. Really good stuff. My main dish, Pad Won Sen, comes with crystal noodles, carrots, broccoli, bead sprouts, a little bit of egg, and almost any meat choice with no additional charge. You can pick a beef, chicken, pork, or shrimp for the same price. For 2 more, you can get the seafood one with scallop, muscle, and shrimp together. I ordered mine medium heat, which means something a little different at each business. This dish definitely was right at the peak of what I could handle heat wise without being inedible. It came out steaming hot (video below) and obviously spicy hot as well. It's one of my favorite dishes to get at Thai restaurants. The building wasn't over decorated, but enough to not feel plain. The tables and chairs are in great shape as well. If you notice in the pictures, the corner that looks like a small bar rail, that is supposed to be a little sushi bar soon. I can't wait to see how that turns out. I appreciate them having pictures of each menu item next to the description. It helps people so much when they're deciding if they want to try something new or different. Pimpa took great care of me, and is a total sweetheart. If you visit, tell her I sent you. #onforkstoforks #foodie #thaifood #asianfood

This restaurant is amazing, and so is the owner! We started with papaya salad that served with sticky rice. Very tasty. We ordered medium heat and it was perfect. The Thai iced tea is just the drink to cool the heat. Then we had Masaman curry. Cooked to perfection. The potatoes were just the right texture. And the curry... definitely the stuff I'll have dreams about. For dessert, definitely don't sleep on the mango with sticky rice. Wow! The mango was so fresh and paired nicely with the coconut cream. Definitely check this one out!

Authentic Thai food, A menu with delicious choices of proteins,meats,seafood and vegetables. Choose your spice no heat mild, medium,hot and Thai hot. This quaint welcoming fresh and clean Thai restaurant is the place to eat. If you want AUTHENTIC THAI food or SUSHI AND AN ICE COLD THAI BEER, I highly recommend eating here! This restaurant will not and does not disappoint. Located at Leo crossing in fort Wayne you will be delighted. The owners take pride in the food they make and serve and it shows! See the menu and pictures I have included.

Family of 5 with toddler. We loved the food and the service. The server was very kind. They have a nice menu. Reasonable prices. Quick. It's in a strip mall setting and decorated nicely with plenty of seating. Parking is plentiful, too.
