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’m obsessed with this restaurant! I have celiac disease and I’m a vegetarian and I’m allergic to lots of fruits & veggies so finding food I can eat out is really tricky and I have tons of options here 🥹 I pretty much always go for their gluten free drunken noodles though because they are SO good! Great portion sizes and everything keeps really well. The service is also great, one time they messed up my order and didn’t make it gluten free but they caught it and comped my meal and were so kind and genuinely apologetic, I didn’t even mind it happened because they were so lovely about it. Their gluten free coconut cake is also to die for! 1000/5 stars 😍 -
Very homey and cozy atmosphere with lots of seats. Service is super fast and the food comes out even faster. Delicious food with great portions and really good Thai Iced Coffee. I will definitely be back!! -
Not fancy, just good
Consistently good Thai food and service in a convenient location.
When we don’t feel like cooking or just want a quick break, Thai Cafe fits the bill very nicely.
We are creatures of habit who enjoy the nam tok, crispy catfish, red and green curries, and shrimp Pad Thai.
Highly recommended.
