I hate to give a bad review but felt that I should share our experience with this food for other's reference. There are a lot of great reviews here, so maybe we just got them on a bad night? The portions were unusually small. The soup was separated, not flavorful at all and very small portions for the price. The curry shrimp "entree" had maybe 2 or 3 shrimp and again didn't taste great. This was takeout for a group of old friends and sadly it was such a disappointment. Also FYI, they must have raised their prices from the website's price list because it came out to about $7 dollars more than what those prices (plus tip) were calculated. I don't recommend.

Diner Review №3

The Siamese Noodles with chicken, Tofu Pad Thai and Pineapple fried rice with shrimp were all delicious!

Diner Review №4

This place is a hidden gem! It's our go-to Thai restaurant and we absolutely love the owner. Such a nice man who knows how to make amazing food!

Diner Review №5

Diner Review №6

The food is phenomenal! This is the only Thai restaurant I'll order from. Everything I've ordered has been incredibly flavorful. They're a serious cut above all of the other Thai restaurants in the area. My favorites are the drunken noodles and egg rolls.

Diner Review №7

Star Thai is a fantastic hidden spot with absolutely delicious flavors! While the portions are on the smaller side for the price, it’s completely worth it because the flavors are so incredible.

Some of my favorite dishes include the Larb and Papaya Salad, which are always fresh and flavorful. I usually don’t enjoy Pad Thai, but theirs is the only one I’ve found that I genuinely love—it’s perfectly balanced and so tasty. The Thai Fried Rice and Panang Curry are also standout dishes, each packed with bold and satisfying flavors.

And don’t skip dessert! Their Mango Sticky Rice is a must-try—sweet, creamy, and the perfect way to end the meal.

This sweet, family-owned restaurant delivers on quality and taste every time. Highly recommend giving it a try!

Good service, they are the best

Diner Review №11

Great affordable thai food! You won't go wrong supporting your local thai business :) keep this place alive!

Diner Review №12

Very mediocre.

Diner Review №13

This is a takeout-only establishment, so the "atmosphere" category doesn’t apply. However, for the "service" category, I’m giving them a full 5-stars. The service was fast, friendly, and efficient with no issues or complaints. They truly excel in this department. The gentleman behind the register was super sweet, nice guy.

Now, let's dive into the food. First, the good news. In terms of taste, the dishes were indeed very flavorful and delicious. The medium heat had a good kick to it, which might be considered "hot" by the standards of other local Asian-cuisine restaurants. The crispy eggrolls (three per order) were among the best veggie eggrolls I've had, far surpassing the usual bland, soggy versions offered elsewhere. Both my dad and brother commented on how soft and fluffy the rice was. So, it's an A+ for the eggrolls and the rice.

Now the bad news. If I were rating solely on taste, I'd award the food 5 stars. Unfortunately, my overall experience falls short, resulting in a 3-star rating. The dinner portion sizes were disappointing, more fitting for a lunchtime serving—chintzy at best. Given the price of the entrees--we tried the Pad Gra Pow (basil stir fry) and Pad Gra Thiem (garlic pepper stir fry), $12.95 each for dinner--I expected at least double the amount of food compared to what was actually served. This was particularly noticeable when compared to other Asian restaurants in Lakewood, which typically provide decent-sized portions.

The Pad Thai was another letdown, surprisingly made with angel hair noodles instead of the thicker, flat Pad Thai noodles that are standard for this dish. It was also quite greasy. While the portion size for this dish was somewhat better than the other stir fry entrees, the amount of chicken included was dismal, hardly qualifying it as a dinner entree.

Given this experience, I’m hesitant to return and risk being short-changed again in the portion department. It's a shame because, as I mentioned, the food was tasty. However, the lack of sufficient portions and the unexpected deviations in standard dishes make it unlikely that I'll be trying this place again.

Diner Review №14

As of May 2024, they are TAKEOUT ONLY. I suspected this ahead of time but can confirm Google is wrong and I don't think I can change it. Just a heads up. The couple who runs the place is nice and the food isn't bad.

Diner Review №15

This is a tucked away gem. The food is phenomenal! Every time I come, I try and order something different, and every dish has been amazing. Take out only. No frills, just good food.

Diner Review №16

Best Thai curry in Colorado!

Diner Review №17

Diner Review №18

Diner Review №19

Takeout only. Best Red Curry I've had in the state.

Diner Review №20

Tried different curries at mild and medium spice, devoid of flavor, nothing but coconut milk and chili oil.

Diner Review №21

Looking for Thai food to pick up or for delivery? Quit looking, Star Thai is the best damn Thai food in Denver or the USA for that matter. This stuff is straight gas, straight 5/5 stars. Michelin stars? Doesn’t matter, this stuff is better than that marshmallow looking dude magazine rating. If you need Thai food just go ahead and order from here and thank that crazy dude from Google later. This is the best.

Diner Review №22

Great food! I don't think they're dining room is open right now. Amazing takeout food for sure though!

Diner Review №23

Amazing place!

Diner Review №24

One of the top Thai places in Denver. All their ingredients are so fresh and flavorful. And the couple that runs it are so kind. Can't recommend this place enough.

Diner Review №25

***TAKE OUT ONLY*** Excellent spicy flavors and reasonable prices. I like spicy and have eaten food in Thailand, and the "medium" is plenty spicy for me. Free parking.

Diner Review №26

If I could give them 20 stars, I would. I got the Panang curry with chicken at medium spice. The flavors pop, it tastes authentic, the price is RIGHT and perfect portion size in my opinion! I was pleasantly surprised on the first bite! I'll definitely be back and very soon!

Diner Review №27

Best place ever!

Diner Review №31

Delicious authentic Thai food!

Diner Review №32

I ordered food to go and got basil fried rice hot with egg rolls. The egg rolls were great, but the basil fried rice, which I have had before was tasteless. The only flavor was the heat which was no flavor at all. Sorry to say this place has gone downhill

Diner Review №33

Great little hidden gem. Delicious food. The pad Thai, a basic staple of any and all Thai spots was unique.

Diner Review №34

Star Thai has captured my heart with its authentic Thai flavors, warm ambiance, and attentive service. This charming restaurant in Denver offers a culinary journey that transports me straight to the vibrant streets of Thailand.

Upon entering Star Thai, you are greeted with a welcoming and cozy atmosphere. The traditional Thai decor, soft lighting, and friendly smiles from the staff create a comfortable setting that makes you feel right at home.

Now, let's talk about the star of the show—the food. Star Thai's menu boasts a delightful selection of Thai classics and innovative dishes that cater to all tastes. Each dish is crafted with precision, showcasing the aromatic herbs, spices, and fresh ingredients that are the hallmark of Thai cuisine.

Diner Review №35

I’ve been craving this dudes green curry for the last 4 years… SF, LA, idk I’d put this man’s green curry against the world. There is a place in SF called mangrove, but I’d say star takes my 1st place spot.

Diner Review №36

Green curry and Drunken Noodles ❤️❤️❤️

Diner Review №37

Did they permanently close??

Diner Review №38

Love the Pad Thai.

Diner Review №39

Found this place because of its proximity to my work. The food is so good.
It is Thai like I never had before. So flavorful and amazingly delicious. Had the garlic pepper and pad thai.
Definitely will be back.

Diner Review №40

A little Lakewood gem! Delicious Thai food and we can’t wait to try other things from their menu.

Diner Review №41

Best Thai takeout I’ve had in the Denver metro. Everything tasted incredibly fresh. The chicken and pork were hot off the wok. Looking forward to trying the Thai hot spice level eventually!

Diner Review №42

AMAZING!!

Was very impressed by Star Thai and will definitely be back again!

Quality - delicious! Was very impressed by the flavors. Especially loved the red curry chicken (ordered medium)! Great flavor profile, lots of meat & veggies. Drunken noodles had a bit of a smoky (almost burned?) flavor I hadn’t experienced before, but was good nonetheless.

Portion sizes - a bit smaller than your average Thai restaurant, but so are the prices! I’d say sizes are fair for the price.

Spice levels - proceed with caution! Saw mixed reviews on the spice levels. I have a decent spice tolerance and the hot drunken noodles was at the upper end of my enjoyable spice limit.

Diner Review №43

Diner Review №44

Pad Thai was bland. Hot was less than a medium even by American standards. Hardly anything in the noodles.

Diner Review №45

Food is delicious!! But portions are small

Diner Review №46

I’ve been coming here for about a decade. Every single time it’s delicious with fair prices.

Diner Review №47

Great Thai food but small portions for the price.

Diner Review №48

My wife and I have eaten here twice and the quality is good. We both get massaman Curry. The reason for three stars because twice have gotten it with chicken and there's barely any chicken in there and I'm still hungry afterwards. I'm not happy paying $13 for a meal and still being hungry after.

it would be two stars but my wife is satisfied with the amount of tofu she gets with hers. Since I'm not getting the value I expect, I will no longer be eating here.

Diner Review №49

Hands down the absolute best authentic Thai food you can get! This truly is a hidden gem! This is a must to add to your takeout list! The couple who own and cook are so adorable and friendly! 10/10 cannot recommend more!

Diner Review №50

One of my favorite places to get Thai food in town! The massaman curry is absolutely delicious. Can't go wrong with it.

Diner Review №51

Tried for the first time tonight. Absolutely awful, won't be back. Everything we ordered was terrible. Surprising considering all the good reviews. Maybe they were having an off night but we won't be taking our chances again.

Diner Review №52

Probably the best pad Thai I’ve ever had

Diner Review №53

Very tasty food, partner got the Fried Rice (Kau Pad) and I got the Star Thai Noodles (Pad Kee Mao, aka Drunken Noodles), but the portion sizes were very disappointing. The Kau Pad was a more decent size, but the Pad Kee Mao was incredibly small and about a third of it was just onions, another fourth of other vegetables, and there was barely any meat or noodles. While the flavor is delicious, this is just not a very good deal for the price and not feeling full afterwards.

Diner Review №54

ALWAYS AMAZING!!!!

Diner Review №55

Homemade style great tasting food, fast and friendly service. One of the best Thai spots in the denver metro area, IMO.

Diner Review №56

green curry is really good

Diner Review №57

Love this place, great low key Thai restaurant. With some of the best pad Thai and the best sesame chicken I've had. Great customer service and a great Thai spot.

Diner Review №58

Takeout only! We decided to order at the last minute and just waited in the parking lot. Super fast, affordable, and the food was DELICIOUS. Best pad thai I’ve ever had!

Diner Review №59

We've been getting our pad Thai at a Thai place a couple miles away for decades but it's been hit or miss lately so we decided to give Star Thai a try. We called in our order and it was ready when we arrived 15 minutes later. (Note that they are currently only open for takeout orders.) We got home within 10 minutes and the food was still nice and hot. While the pad Thai didn't have scrambled eggs or tofu like we are used to, the chicken tasted great and the pad Thai was amazing. The medium level had just the right level of spiciness for me. The mild tasted just right for those in our group who can't handle spicy foods. We'll definitely be back!

Diner Review №60

Diner Review №61

Friendly people but I was disappointed with the outcome of the meals I ordered. Quality of food is ok-ok.

Diner Review №62

Restaurant had sign on the door saying they were closed until mid-August, yet online information did not indicate this, so we made the drive there for nothing.

Diner Review №63

Love the food here. James and his wife run it by themselves and cook each order fresh. Been going for years.

Diner Review №64

A very odd restaurant with only takeout and the weirdness from the owner. The food is incredible

Diner Review №65

Diner Review №66

Diner Review №67

Diner Review №68

The only Thai place you should ever go! Pad Thai? Out of this world. Egg rolls? Amazing. Bean thread noodles? Ridiculous flavor. 15/10.

Diner Review №69

Some of the best pad Thai I’ve had in a while. The garlic pepper chicken was also super good. Perfect amount to split with someone and have some leftovers. The hot was hot on the pad Thai btw def cleared the sinuses. Can’t wait to try some other things!

Diner Review №70

Best Thai food in the area. Taste like it’s made fresh and has great flavor. My only negative is I ordered it Thai hot and it barely had any heat to it.

Diner Review №71

As someone who frequently eats different Thai restaurant I will say this is one of the best in Denver. Fresh flavors, nice portion sizes, smells amazing. . I ordered the papaya salad and chicken pad Thai. I had enough food for and lunch tomorrow. I know it's gonna taste even better tomorrow because I almost couldn't stop eating it. I ordered mine hot! It is perfect. Wish I ordered a few other items since it was really cheap now after seeing the quality.
It was also done very quickly. 15 minutes and the nice man ever brought my food to my car! Amazing experience I will be back before the weekend to try more items!

Diner Review №72

Star Thai is so good! Go there!
...Note: take out only at the moment. It's usually ready very fast, one time they were busy and it took maybe 15 minutes. Inexpensive.
...As somebody who has been fond of Thai food for a good ten plus years now and tried to find the best places in different parts of the country I've lived in, I am very impressed by Star Thai. You get the impression they are a purely family owned and operated place, and that they take pride in their food and maybe even joy in sharing it. I appreciate them.
Highly recommending for anybody reading this whether you've tried Thai food or not. (Thai food is my "I could eat this everyday and be happy" food, and I know many others who feel that).
Go to Star Thai! That is all!
-
-what I've tried:
Three noodle dishes
Panang
-all were great, I'm hoping to try everything eventually

Diner Review №73

Perfect all around. Super sweet owner(s), delicious food, great portion sizes and prices. One of our favorite places in the area, and best Thai we've had in Denver.

Diner Review №74

Tasty food and great prices!

Diner Review №75

Best Thai food I've found in Lakewood.

Diner Review №76

Diner Review №77

Best home cooked Thai food in Denver - potions are smaller yet more than adequate, and this is reflected in the lower prices - I find their food to to be a bargain - under $10/dish. Best red and green curry I have tasted in Denver. Take out only during Covid, so no dine in...

Diner Review №78

Always great food, good quality and on time.. The gentleman is very very nice, he’d always offer to help or bring it to your car however he can help.

Diner Review №79

Eat a lot of Thai food and Star Thai’s green curry may be the best I’ve experienced. Also really enjoyed other menu items. Authentic establishment

Diner Review №80

Yes for the people wondering it is Takout only but they do also have the menu setup at the front door and the very nice employee meets you to take your order. Did not wait long maybe 10-15 minutes for 2 entrees and an appetizer with the sides. The salmon curry was an explosion of flavor and will be getting that the next time I visit. The Thai fried rice was pretty good although I feel like it was missing something very little that would give it that final kick Like the curry. Over all great food and service, would definitely recommend.

Diner Review №81

Please do update that restaurant service only take away, it's very disappointing to come there and see it services takeaway only

Diner Review №82

Amazing Tom Yum soup and really really good panang curry. Loved everything, they are take out only so order before you go.

Diner Review №83

Yummy, home cooked food. Best Thai in the area! Super friendly people too. They have lots of different spice levels depending on what to you want. This is a takeout only place. Well worth calling ahead and picking up!

Diner Review №84

This place is take out only due to covid still. The couple who runs this place is really nice and the food was good for a really cheap price. I got the green curry medium spice and it was good

Diner Review №85

Update 11/13/21: Unfortunately we can no longer recommend Star Thai. We got Chicken pad Thai and drunken noodles here about 3 or 4 weeks ago and were very disappointed. The chicken pad Thai was completely different, the noodles were strange and the seasoning and sauce was very smokey flavored and no hint of peanut sauce whatsoever. It was almost inedible. Also in both dishes, we had only a few pieces of chicken. They have always been light on meat but the flavor of the dishes, price and the authenticity of the cuisine were enough to make up. But this was unacceptable. It seems like they are trying to cut costs even more which is a shame. I’m not sure we will ever choose to order from here again.

———————————

Old review: Excellent!! My husband and I just spent 3 weeks in Thailand and were looking for good Thai takeout in Lakewood. This place hit the spot! We got chicken pad Thai with pork egg rolls and it was amazing!! The man who runs the store was very nice too. We will be regulars here now!

Diner Review №86

Diner Review №87

This place is so good and will make it a staple. They are truly authentic and make dishes to your preferred spice level.

Diner Review №88

This is is the place we go for fast, delicious Thai food. We order here at least one time per month. ❤️❤️❤️❤️ We always love the food. Support local!!!

Diner Review №89

The man in the restaurant was nice but the food had no flavor whatsoever. I do not understand how they could call that a Chicken pad Thai. I will never return.

Diner Review №90

I cannot believe this place is rated over 4 stars. The food is horrible. No flavor. The peanut sauce is thin & runny & has zero peanut flavor. Awful. Nothing we got was good. Never eating here again. What a huge disappointment.

Diner Review №91

Best Thai!

Diner Review №92

This is my go to thai place. The prices are reasonable and the guy there is always super nice. I think I come here on average once a week honestly, it's that good. Notable favorites include tom yum soup, larb, papaya/beef salad, ALL of the curries, and prik pow noodles. But I doubt you could go wrong. Good people and good food period

Diner Review №93

Diner Review №94

Incredibly tasty and authentic Thai food 💯

Diner Review №95

Got pad Thai medium spice. There was no spice to it at all but the flavors are really good. Lemon chicken also was very good and light. Would recommend this place!

Diner Review №96

Been enjoying Star Thai for 15+ years. Amazing owners and food!

Diner Review №97

Greatest food can be done by kind and lovely people. This is a case with Thai Star.
Very delicious, authentic, genuine Thai food.
Moreover, they beat all prices.
May God give you and your family great health.
Thank you million times!

Diner Review №98

Diner Review №99

We ordered two drunken noodles and asked if they could be made vegan, they said yes. However when we got the food and got home there was a bunch of scrambled egg in it and seemed like there was fish sauce too. The person on the phone was also pretty rude when I was ordering. If you have dietary restrictions, do not order from this place. The portions were also pretty small!

Diner Review №100

James is the man and we don’t go anywhere but Star Thai! Combo fried rice and combo lo mein are our go-to’s. Absolutely delicious.

Diner Review №101

Hands down my favorite Thai take-out place. I’ve visited roughly 10 times, and have never been disappointed. Service is great, food is even better.

Diner Review №102

Killer food! Masaman Curry is my favorite. Med is hot btw!

Diner Review №103

The gentleman was very nice but this food is as bland as can be. I'm sensitive to spice and so I order medium on the Pad Thai and there's literally zero spice. No yummy sauce or peanuts either. It's like oil and lemon juice or something.

Diner Review №104

Pad Thai is very weak. The sauce is black pepper and lemon juice. It's over flowing with bean sprouts and not much of anything else.

Diner Review №105

Diner Review №106

Best Thai food around! Not only delicious but it has an authentic and mom/pop vibe! Friendly, great deal, and so good!

Diner Review №107

Mediocre at best! The curry is "spicy" but has No flavor 😕 I didn't know it was possible to make a green-curry with absolutely no flavor.. The rice was mushy (over cooked) the potstickers had pan fry marks on the outside but were dough/raw on the inside, the teriyaki chicken was a super thin piece of chicken, barely cooked all the way through, with a side of watered-down teriyaki sauce.. I've actually had worse but not much. Take it from me: go somewhere else.

Diner Review №108

Food was amazing but the customer service was lacking. I stood at the door trying to call a worker for a good two minutes for utilensils and still couldn't his attention.

Diner Review №109

I really enjoy their of Pad Thai!

Diner Review №110

I can't say enough about this little place. Run by a super sweet couple. The food is AMAZING! I've tried 7-9 places around Lakewood and this place is by FAR the best. The prices are so low that I tip $5 each time. They deserve more. I order the Massuman Curry almost every time and it just makes my day. I've promised to treat myself once per week. Show them some love and appreciate what they do! :) If you know/like Thai food, you will really enjoy this.

Diner Review №111

I ordered drunken noodles as I saw someone say it was the best ever. IT WAS NOT. I was so disappointed in the wantons also they were fried beyond edibility! The portion size was also disappointing as most of the reviews rave about size and quality. I wasn't impressed unfortunately.

Diner Review №112

Local gem. Spicy and tasty food in generous portions. Fried rice is my favorite.

Diner Review №113

Always delicious authentic thai food.

Diner Review №114

Food was fine, but double check price before ordering. Online menu says $5.25, but I was charged over $11 after tax and a small tip.

Diner Review №115

Food is great, even though cook, register person is the same

Diner Review №116

Great service and food!

Diner Review №117

Delicious!!!

Diner Review №118

Diner Review №119

It was just a stale unappealing & a wrong type
of food.. the menu sounds nice but in real case it’s actually vomiting experience...
When we opened it we thought we’ve got a wrong order...
I had ordered sea food combination with shrimps , scallops and fish...sounds nice, huh? Lol
What I really received is: simulation crab sticks that was dissolved in murky gray water - called sauce, lots of onions, grey mushrooms and carrots.. no shrimps and again overcooked pieces of fish was was swimming in the grey puddle in there... My partner supposed to have simple chicken pad Thai, instead got some seaweed looking substance that he didn’t look forward to get into....🤐
I don’t know how this business is still in business, we wanted to support local business in these tough times, but we totally felt taken advantage of and we won’t order from them ever again🤮

Diner Review №120

I have been coming here for well over 12 years and I will always come here for pad Thai. It’s what I measure other pad Thai’s up to and they never add up. If I could, I would give this place 10,000 stars! The best place for Thai in the US!

Diner Review №121

The Tom Ka Gai was fabulous. Both other dishes were also excellent. Service was prompt. Take out or delivery only.

Diner Review №122

I grew up in the neighborhood behind this strip mall. I've eaten here since I was 10 years old, and I can tell you that even 11 years later the food does NOT disappoint! The food is extremely consistent in taste and quality, both of which are excellent. You can take comfort in knowing its cooked fresh and to order by sweet hard working people.

Diner Review №123

The best Thai food made by the nicest people.

Diner Review №124

Diner Review №125

Great value Thai. Can't go wrong with Panang curry

Diner Review №126

Amazing curry and iced thai tea, the food was so good that I don't even care that I had to do take out because of covid

Diner Review №127

I've had a fairly bad luck at finding decent thai food in the western suburbs.

But, this place was the exception so far. #1 the location itself was a very.... unassuming hole in the wall setup. Like, inventory stored everywhere. Weird star wars dolls and lego vehicles scattered around.

"A place like this, decorated like this. It has to be good."

And so far, so good. We tried 3 entrees, and all had good flavor. Plus tofu option for just about everything. We'll be back to other things.

Diner Review №128

Great Food Everytime Affordable Super Friendly

Diner Review №129

Amazing authentic Thai food. The shop is owned and run entirely by a super nice old Thai couple and their food is about as authentic as it can get. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for the real deal thai food!

Diner Review №130

Hard to appreciate the food when the front room looks like the chefs live there - I wish them the best, but when ordering food that is only carry out only I hope to see something clean and tidy. Chef Ramsey would not be happy

Diner Review №131

Food was very good, but the serving of chicken was sparse in the entree

Diner Review №132

Diner Review №134

Always love Star Thai!

Diner Review №135

A few weeks ago, we celebrated my grandfather's birthday with a physically distanced lunch in the park. This restaurant was nearby, and, having read good reviews, we decided to give it a try. The reviews were right! I will say that I haven't had a whole lot of Thai food, so I don't have much to compare it against. That being said, the flavors were absolutely incredible. I had the #13, Siamese noodles (Pad Se Eyw). It was incredibly tasty. The price was perfect, as well, and the place itself is cute. I'd highly recommend it, and I'll probably be visiting next time I'm up in the area (which won't be for a while, due to the virus.)

Oh, and speaking of the virus: I appreciate the steps they've taken to make sure everyone is safe. They've moved a table near the door so that there's only room enough for a couple people to be inside at one time. Everything is take-out now, but the food was fresh and hot.

Diner Review №136

Wow. Best Thai food I have ever had!!! Tasted like what I imagine a home cooked Thai meal would taste like. Excellent customer service and seriously amazing food. Their drunken noodles were the best I’ve had yet, and had the perfect amount of spice. My boyfriend said his Thai bbq chicken was the best he has ever had. 100% recommend! You will not regret!

Diner Review №137

Diner Review №138

Amazing place!! The man who took our order, who I believe was the same man cooking AND helping customers, was very polite and very fast! He never stopped moving!! We ate our food in the parking lot and it was perfect! The noodles were perfectly cooked, and the sprouts were VERY fresh! Absolutely recommend this restaurant!

Diner Review №139

My husband and I eat here at least once every other week if not once a week. The owner is the most hardworking person I have ever seen! During COVID he has been tackling orders alone and is constantly on the go. We love being able to support their business. Portion sizes are perfect. My absolute favorite is the cream cheese wontons and they give you like 6. Every where else you only get 3 or 4.

Diner Review №140

My favourite Thai joint in all of Denver! Literal Mom and Pop local hole-in-the-wall that is so knock your socks off good I've gone here for my birthday dinners! Family has asked me, "where are we going for your birthday meal?" and consistently star Thai is an excellent choice. I ALWAYS get the pineapple curry, and at least one order of their custard or mango and sticky rice... Excellent and friendly service, fast and reliably excellent cuisine, and wonderful homey feel in their restaurant. I love the Lego sets they have on display for all of us takeout and Togo orders during this time, and I can't wait to dine in again! Love supporting my favorite Thai food and family ❤️

Diner Review №141

After 15 years of visiting here, the bigotry comes out. Never going again.

Diner Review №142

Was excited to try this place! We got the yellow curry and the pad see ew.

Portions were super disappointing, especially for the pad see ew, but the food tasted excellent! Just wish that portions were more generous, our serving of pad see ew could have barely fed a small child, probably about a half a cup of noodles total. Would totally consider eating here again if portion sizes were reconsidered, as food was delicious!

Diner Review №143

Always great food and friendly service. I love this place

Diner Review №144

Diner Review №145

Super Nice and Friendly owner.

My go to for Pad Thai takeout. Everytime.

Diner Review №146

I always love trying new places for Panang Curry. I found Star Thai today. I am from San Diego and it definitely reminded me of the flavors from back home. I also had the Thai Iced tea and this had the right amount of cream. I definitely will be back and recommend.

Diner Review №147

Best Thai food in town

Diner Review №148

Diner Review №149

I've definitely become a regular, eating here or ordering takeout at least once a week. The owner is very friendly and the pad thai is awesome ! I highly recommend trying it out.

Diner Review №150

Seriously the best Thai food I've ever had in my entire life. Consistently delicious. If I was forced to choose one thing to eat every day for the rest of my life, their Tom Kha soup would be it.

The fact that they go back to Thailand and close the restaurant is indicative of how much they have committed to authenticity. Get it to-go, eat there... Just PLEASE make the trip. This is some of the best food you will ever eat.

10/10 always recommend this restaurant. Even if you think you hate Thai food... Do yourself a favor and GO HERE NOW.

Great little hidden gem. Delicious food. The pad Thai, a basic staple of any and all Thai spots, was unique. Not overly sweet and spiced with a delicious blend of chilies. Supremely affordable. Totally worth a visit

We've been regulars here for over five years. James is consistently lovely and the food is consistently delicious and affordable. Don't let the location fool you, Star Thai is a hidden treasure. My favorites are the pineapple fried rice and crispy tofu.

Diner Review №162

Had the peanut chicken. Was delish!

Diner Review №163

Please do not tell anyone about Star Thai. They are that hidden place that has good service and makes the best noodles in Lakewood.

Diner Review №164

Hole in the wall and amazing Thai food!

Diner Review №165

Very authentic, reminded me of the street side cafes in Chiang Mai when I lived there. So far I've tried 3 items on the menu and they are all unbelievably delicious. I can't wait to try them all. You can't go wrong with the Pad Thai or Pad See Ew, and get the dinner side, because you will eat it all!

This is a place we drive over an hour to get to for the amazing flavorful food! The owner is very personable, and has a great memory. He always remember what we order. The entrees are generous portions and affordable. Highly recommend!

Portions are extremely small for the price but great flavor

Diner Review №170

This is by far the worst food I have ever eaten! The seafood stirfry was disgusting and leaking everywhere. I would never ever recommend or go here again! Worst take out ever!

Diner Review №171

We assumed the 4 star review was legitimate. And ordered stir fried vegetables, red and green curry and spring rolls. The spring rolls were wrapped in wanton paper not rice paper with no shrimp in them. The peanut sause was very thin and weak tasting. The stir fry was mostly broth and very few vegetables and the same with the green and red curry. The meal was extremely disappointing. Wish I could rely on the reviews. Will never go there again.

Authentic Thai food! And the portions are big. I think this is one of the best kept secrets in Denver Thai food scene. It's in a strip mall, and you won't even think that they are. But this restaurant has been here for a long time, and once you try it once, you will know why. Give this restaurant a try, and you will keep coming back. The Currys, all of them are amazing.

Great hole in the wall Thai restaurant that can really bring the heat on request.

The owner/chef is so nice and cooks delicious food so quickly. I always get the same thing, Pad Thai, and it’s always amazing, but I’ve also tried other dishes that are all always great too. The prices are unbeatable, portion sizes are perfect (more than enough for one meal), and I always love coming here. Highly recommend!!

Diner Review №177

Portion was small on both entrees. And neither entree was spicy at all. One was medium and one was Thai hot. Neither hot at all. Would not recommend them at all. I won’t be back.

This cozy spot has been satisfying our Thai cravings for years. James is wonderful and you'd be hard pressed to find a better value for excellent food.

Diner Review №193

So good! One of those hole in the wall places that is always amazing! Some of the best authentic Thai food I have had in a while. The red curry lit my face up. I will definitely be back!

Diner Review №195

Absolutely delicious, there is not much more to say, if you come to Denver, Lakewood area this is a must eat in my opinion ! Will be back 100% Hands down my favorite Thai takeout joint. Can't go wrong with the panang curry, pad thai, or pineapple fried rice. Do yourself a favor and stop in at Star Thai next time you have a hankering for some tasty takeout!

Diner Review №196

It took me a long time to give this place a try and I'm so glad I finally did because I will be coming back often!!!

Pros:
Fresh ingredients, the most authentic tasting delicious Thai food I've had in the Denver metro area, extremely great customer service (ma and pop kind of feel), very cheap and fair pricing, fast time to table from when ordered

Cons:
small portions even when you get the dinner size, could use an update or even a better location

Diner Review №197

Best Pad Thai I have found in Colorado. I’ll keep looking of course, but these guys do a fantastic job. They don’t have a problem if I change up the recipe either. Sometimes I’ll add an extra egg or order it halfway between mild and medium, or ask for carrots, etc. Really nice people, generous portions, fairly priced. Would recommend to everyone.

Diner Review №198

The service was excellent and the food was delicious with decent portions of food.

Diner Review №199

Best Thai in Lakewood and probably the whole Denver area! Cozy familiar place with a super kind owner.
