Not Your Average Restaurant

We were excited to learn all about how Lamoon’s Thai Restaurant has been able to build such an impressive reputation, so we sat down with the owner, Lamoon Ertle. The first thing we wanted to know was what it is that makes Lamoon’s Thai Restaurant stand apart from their local competitors. Lamoon spoke of the quality that this restaurant specializes in. He told us:

“Our food is being made by actual experienced Thai chefs and family members with top ingredients. Our restaurant is family-run in all aspects. We cook, we clean, and we hand-pick ingredients. We run a tight ship and are very clean and organized for a small place… We have a great following.”

Building Success Through Community

In addition to the stellar reviews and pristine online reputation, Lamoon’s Thai Restaurant is incredibly focused on community involvement. Lamoon shared that they utilize every opportunity to take place in local charities and events. These events can both showcase their great cuisine, and get people active in a communal experience. Lamoon says:

“Dining is an experience, and we try to make it the best experience possible. If my customers enjoy food and drink, laugh, talk to people in nearby tables they never met, then I’ve accomplished my goal. We are becoming closer knit, forming bonds though food. It’s a beautiful thing.”

There are many businesses out there that are looking to build as impressive a reputation as Lamoon’s Thai Restaurant has managed to. We asked if Lamoon could share any expert advice to these companies. Here’s what he had to say:

“Quality over quantity. Serve hot fresh food that does not sit idle. Pay attention to customer needs. Run a clean kitchen and restaurant. Create a beautiful eating space.”

We asked if there was anything else Lamoon wanted to make sure we included in the article. He left us with this touching sentiment:

“Just to tell our customers thank you. And to new ones reading this article – please stop by. And don’t forget to rate us on Yelp and Google. These interfaces help improve our restaurant and also help guide you, the customer, to the best restaurants in your community.”


Congratulations to Lamoon’s Thai Restaurant for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner, and special thanks to Lamoon for taking the time to speak with us!
