Food was good. I had the beef noodle soup and it hit the spot on this cold day. My friend had the salmon bowl and said that it was good. Only problem was that I was given a glass with a chip on the rim. -
Went for a Saturday date night. Cozy atmosphere with holiday decorations, and there were a few tables open so no wait. My go-to roasted duck curry was a winner as usual, and we tried their new pho-style beef noodle soup that was delicious and generously portioned. The fresh rolls we had as appetizer were ok but nothing to write home about - somewhat dominated by lettuce.

I debated on leaving this review because I used to love this place and typically had a good experience. They even won an Indy last year. However, the last time ensured I won’t be back.
We arrived about 30 to 40 minutes before closing which we didn’t realize and that’s on me for not checking but the employee inside was extremely rude about it stating they close in 20 minutes. She was just cold and may have been having a bad day but it just seemed unnecessary. We got takeout (which I regret) because I’m pretty sure the food I received has been what caused an upset stomach for the past few days.
In summation, the staff member was rude and the food was rushed to be prepared. They could have just told me they were closed and declined my service if this was going to be my experience. I won’t be back. There’s much better Thai in RTP. -
You can always count on Thai Cafe for great food and atmosphere, and fabulous and friendly service. (Not to mention that they saved our family Christmas Eve outing this year by scrambling to welcome us as walk-ins after a nearby restaurant failed to honor our reservation.) P.S. If you still need another reason to go there: COCONUT CAKE!!!!
