The Pad Thai was fresh and delicious. The spices on the side let you customize the spice level. Large portion, so now I have lunch for tomorrow! The Crab Rangoon was perfectly crispy and the dipping sauce was tasty. Will definitely order again (:

Would highly recommend checking this out. Thai food in a small town can be hit or miss but this was AMAZING!!! The curry was strong, and the amount of rice they give you is a lot. Really good!! Tastes like authentic thai :)

There was a Thai place in Springfield IL that closed down a long time ago and I really missed the amazing food! I have lived in Effingham for awhile now, but just discovered this place (I regret not eating here sooner) and it tastes exactly like that amazing Thai place I loved! Baan Thai 2 you have a customer for life!!!!
