Friendly atmosphere in a local setting. We came out during a power outage; it had a very 'A Christmas Story ' vibe. The service was friendly and very quick. The potstickers were really good. I had the pineapple fried rice, which is served in half a pineapple. The kids were very impressed. They have vegan options, if you're into that sort of thing. Overall, a fun and tasty option. Would come again!

got the beef garlic stir fry on the lettuce. it was okay. their pad Thai is pretty good though. you don't need to make a reservation or anything, it wasn't crowded and there wasn't a wait or anything. good service too. got our food quick.

Great food and service! The curry doesn’t come spiced, so be sure to ask for the spice rack to add some heat.

Had a very tasty meal of drunken noodles. The coconut cake was a great way to end the meal. Staff was friendly and attentive

I love Thai Cafe! Always friendly service and a great time. Good prices and portions as well. My favorite is the pineapple fried rice(extra cashews of course) and drunken noodles!!

I had a nice dinner with family at Thai Cafe! The service was great but food wasn’t exceptional. I got the yellow curry with pork and the flavors weren’t as robust as I’d hoped. A lot of vegetarian options as well!

Interesting menu choices designed with Thai flavors in mind plus the usual Thai dishes. Prices a bit high but generally worth the extra cash. The soft shell crabs are great!

We had the BEST catered lunch from Thai Cafe at our office last week! Gade was so wonderful to work with, too. She made sure all our dietary preferences were accounted for. Don't sleep on this place! Office favorites were: Chicken Pad Thai, Panang Chicken, Ginger & Mushroom tofu, and the Spicy Beef salad (she modified for our vegans to have tofu), mango sticky rice, and the most incredible coconut cake I've ever tasted (The chocolate cake was exceptional, too). You will love your meal and the service!

Only tried the pad Thai. I ordered it spicy but it wasn’t spicy, at all. Instead it was pretty sweet. The server was hard to come by, so by time I got the spices and lime to cut the sweetness it was cold, tasted better though. Even better I’m sure if it was hot in temp. I wouldn’t try the pad Thai again because of all the hassle. Might be willing to try a new dish here though, since it’s so close to my house.
