Best Pad Thai I’ve had in Fort Myers. Lunch portion was generous and fairly priced and included a small soup and spring roll. I got the chicken ordered hot.. I could’ve taken it a little hotter, but I wasn’t about to do Thai hot… Good portion of chicken and it was plenty saucy and not as greasy as some of the other places in town… based on the Pad Thai, I will be back to try a lot more even though it’s a little out-of-the-way for me.. solid recommend!
We have been coming to this restaurant for the last 3 winters and always leave very pleased. We’ve tried several of the curry dishes and the Pad Thai and Pad See Wee. They are all great. Their lunch special is exceptional as it comes with a delicious egg roll and small bowl of soup. Their service is always very good to excellent. We often come with a group of friends and it is easy to visit as it is not a noisy restaurant as so many are. We love this little gem.
When we go out to eat it is not only for food but also for the service. The hostess was rude, when we told her that we were next in line she started looking at other guests as if she didn’t believe. I was there with my daughter, and after much wait she seated us and still went to the person who she seated after us to ask for his order. We didn’t stay and walked away from the place without even informing them- we felt so unwelcomed. Perhaps we were not her prime customer, but I would have tipped generously if had stayed. Due to this rudeness I would never go there ever.
This place was amazing! Everyone agrees! MELISSA was our waitress. She made the experience beyond Words. Amazing! Ask everyone. I got the most delicious thing on the menu. You should try it.
Walked by this Thai cafe several times and seen the beautiful dishes and had to try it. It did not disappoint. The hostess pleasantly greeted us and had us seated right away. They have indoor/outdoor seating. The waiter was super friendly and funny! He was a delight and made our day! He showed us their great lunch specials and gave us perfect suggestions for our three different likes. The plating was beautiful. I ordered the eggplant dish with chicken served with a spring roll and thai chicken soup. My friends ordered the vegetable mix in garlic sauce with chicken, and the steamed vegetables with steamed tofu. All were delicious! This will be a new Thai place to visit often. Service and food were all excellent! Thank you for the great experience!
The pad Thai was amazing. I added shrimp and they were huge. Many places use tiny shrimp and this place had large shrimp. The dish could easily be split between two people. Large serving!
I also had the Thai iced tea and it was good! Very sweet.
The reason for 4 stars is due to the $11 I paid for calamari. I received an extremely small portion and they didn’t taste right.
I will definitely be back for the pad thai!
FYI: I ordered food online and picked it up. The parking situation is terrible (not their fault). It is a very busy area. If you are ordering from grubhub, I imagine your food is coming to you cold because it takes forever to find a parking spot and then you walk into the shopping area to get to the cafe.
The interior design of the restaurant is chic and unique. Our waiter was beyond friendly and professional. The food was delicious, flavorful, and the chef clearly enjoys their job, as their love can be tasted within their art. 10 out of 10 would come again.
Good food! Lots of flavor. Melissa was an excellent hostess. The lunch special comes with soup and a spring roll.
delicious food, even better service, Made was a great waiter, very professional and welcoming. 10/10 great place.

Crowded and busy, but you forget about that once you are seated! The service was amazing from beginning to end and the food was oh so good! Thank you 🙏🏾
Great experience! Excellent food and great service. Will be back!
Another great place to get authentic Thai food!

Wonderful meal and nice atmosphere. G was my server today and the service was wonderful, as usual. The restaurant has great lunch prices and a nice menu selection.

Preamble - We eat at several Thai restaurants in the area and we know Thai food and often buy our favorite dishes.
I certainly cannot give this restaurant a good recommendation for their food and the service and atmosphere here were basically "meh". The only reason I am giving a two star rating is because the appetizer and one(1) main course was good. Otherwise the rating would be lower.
We came in for dinner after an FGCU game at Hertz. We had the spring rolls as an appetizer and those were good. We ordered the garlic chicken, massaman curry chicken and phad thai.
The garlic chicken had no flavor and was like eating just plain chicken with vegetables; no garlic at all. We will probably eat those leftovers but first add the missing garlic. A boring meal for the taste buds.
The massaman curry chicken also did not have any flavor. Where was the curry? There was no flavor whatsoever. The potatoes and carrots were close to al dente and the food was not hot nor did it feel like it was cooked long enough. Another boring meal for the taste buds.
The only saving grace of this dinner was the phad thai as that was a decent main course. The other two main courses were terrible; no taste and boring. We visit other Thai restaurants in the area and the food is much, much, much better. The total, with tip, was one hundred dollars ($100 dollars). I'm sorry. The food is not worth that kind of money. Look someplace else for Thai food. Two thumbs down on this restaurant. 👎🏻👎🏻
The food is top notch!
Authentic, fresh and appealing. Never had a bad meal ever. I go twice a week and bring my out of town friends here. A smile goes a long way.
The service was great, the entire staff was very nice and accommodating. The food was great.
We recently visited this restaurant and had a terrible experience. We felt like the food was overpriced and not very tasty. Moreover, we were only a party of four and they automatically applied a 20% gratuity to our bill.
The only place I go to eat in Estero.
Best Pad Thai I’ve had in Fort Myers. Lunch portion was generous and fairly priced and included a small soup and spring roll. I got the chicken ordered hot..

No longer as good as a couple years ago Small portions Over priced I won’t order again from here
Very authentic Thai food with good lunch special. Love their Thai basil leaf and spring roll!
Staff were great. Food was ok, but Mai Phed….
The exceptional food wasn't comparable to the outstanding service!! Can't say enough good about this place. Highly recommend the volcano chicken!!
Great Thai food! The starter was a great appetizer, as well as the pad Thai and ramen! Portion sizes for the dishes were excellent and prices were very fair as well. Staff is always so friendly and attentive!
Amazing food, the sampler is a great choice for the starter for two people. Any of the noodle dishes are to die for! Amazing service, I love supporting local businesses and this place makes it easy to love it! Highly recommend!
Excellent place for Thai cuisine.
Thai Udon is the best! I love the Massaman Chicken Curry, light curry flavor with big cashews, sweet potatoes and avocado. I rarely order anything else! My husband enjoys the Pad Thai and their potstickers are perfectly cooked too! The wait staff is very attentive and kind!
I ate al fresco with a friend and it was delightful.
AMAZING food! I had the massaman curry and it’s one of the best dishes I’ve ever had! Our server was very sweet. It was a bit busy when we came, so it took a while to get our drinks and order our food, but so worth it!
Yummy, fast, reasonably priced lunch. What more could you want?
Two words. Food poisoning. Idk from what i got panang. The krab rangoon is rly good here tho
A great location with good food and excellent service. You cannot go wrong coming here, although for me the food spices were a bit off. Atmosphere was above average. The staff had one of the most pleasant attitudes I have seen in the area.
Good value for the food, service was quick and friendly, good atmosphere wasn't noise ridden. Would recommend for a night out, no waiting for seating.
The best Tom Kha soup in all of south Florida is right here in Estero at Thai Udon Cafe. I've order Tom Kha at many other restaurants throughout south Florida and all others have disappointed until trying here. Service staff are amazing! Chefs are amazing! Every dish ever ordered here by myself and my family has been amazing! We have eaten in and ordered carry out and food has been consistently amazing!! I honestly do not have a single "con" to note about this humble gem of a cafe.
Lunch specials are affordable and yummy
Order a Thai tea and relax.
Anything on the menu is great.
Best Thai in Naples
I’ve eaten here with my wife for both dine in and take out over a dozen times by now so it feels justified for me to write a fair review.
The food has been spot on every time. Subtleties of flavor in a simple “chicken and rice” soup which has little to none of both but it doesn’t matter - it’s perfect. Balance and harmony among ingredients in a dish every time. A true red curry with immediate flavor and complexity. Other dishes we’ve tried are just as good, but I’ll save you the long read.
I cook for a living and we have a tough time going out and finding something that’s better than what I can make at home and they never let me down. I hope they stay in business forever.
My only suggestion would be to have an alternative choice to the fried appetizer that comes with meals like the spring roll subbed out for a steamed dumpling.
Food was great, the staff was very friendly!! The red curry, green curry and tempura were really yummmm!! Some extra gratuity charges were a surprise
Always AWESOME meals and friendly Service!
This Thai food was AWESOME! Very flavorful yet authentic. We put this down as family place to come to whenever we are here! I had the shrimp and salmon with pynang curry 🤤. Family had Pad Thai and beef pad see ew - all very good!
Great food! So delicious. Will be back
We've been Florida irregulars for 5 years and Thai Udon consistently delivers the best food. Service is also great. A shout out to Gee for her thoughtfulness!
Gee is our favorite, very efficient and friendly she the best!!
Suck
This place was very good. The service was friendly and quick. The green curry, spring roll and house chicken and rice soup was amazing. I would definitely recommend.
This has become one of our go to places to eat. The food, staff and atmosphere are all above your best expectations.
Great food, service and clean place! Will return!
The food is excellent and everyone at Thai Udon Cafe Estero is very friendly and caring. Highly Recommended!!!
The food was ok, but the price for 2 meals was crazy expensive.
Great lunchtime menu. Fabulous tasty food. Can't fault it. One of my favorite places to eat.
Tom kha soup, Crispy duck un red curry and pad see delicious!!
The pad Thai was amazing. I added shrimp and they were huge. Many places use tiny shrimp and this place had large shrimp. The dish could easily be split between two people. Large serving!
I also had the Thai iced tea and it was good! Very sweet.
The reason for 4 stars is due to the $11 I paid for calamari. I received an extremely small portion and they didn’t taste right.
I will definitely be back for the pad thai!

If you are ordering from grubhub, I imagine your food is coming to you cold because it takes forever to find a parking spot and then you walk into the shopping area to get to the cafe.
We ordered crispy duck, noodle soup, and pan-see-yew, everything was delicious. Moreover, the tempura cheesecake and ice cream is now our new favorite dessert. The service was excellent as well. Will come again if we visit the area.
Service and food was phenomenal. Best Chicken Pad Thai I’ve had in years!
First time here and the food was pretty good. We got the chicken fried rice, pad thai, and panang curry. The miso soup was great, and the little spring roll on the side was too. Would definitely come back again! 😁
Food was great and fresh.
Excellent menu options.
Highly recommend.
****UPDATE
2023 I have become a Regular eating dinner here twice a week.
Maybe take out was off the night of my original experience 🤷🏼♀️
But dine in is FIRE!
CRISPY DUCK salad, Thai salad, krab roll, ramen, sticky rice and mango for dessert are all out of this world!!!
See new Pic!
ordered take out. Ramen noodles and pad Thai. The ramen was good, not great, could have used more flavor, but it was definitely good.
Pad Thai with tofu was flavorful yet lacked the bamboo shoots and chives that have accompanied it at other restaurants.
I may try to eat in next time and see if that makes a difference.
Amazing Thai food- I have been in Thailand many times and it’s the only place that is comparable to it kapunkap!
massaman curry is amazing! The spring rolls and Thai tea are great! Fast service and good prices.
Nice Thai restaurant and food was delicious. Will come back when next am in the neighborhood.
Best Thai in SWFL!
The only problem is the take out orders at getting smaller. Ordered out 2 weeks ago, food is ashtrays great but should be bigger portions
Had 2 separate diners in the restaurant. Both times were above average. So many places in the Estero / Bonita area were lacking. Lived here for 20 years. Best so far.
Extremely fresh salmon!
Today, my wife and I celebrated our anniversary here with a dinner at Thai Udon Cafe and we had the best restaurant experience ever! The food was absolutely delicious and flavorful. The service was top-notch and amazing, and the atmosphere was amazing! We will be coming to Thai Udon Cafe in the near future. The Boneless Crispy Fried Duck was very delicious 😋 👌🏾
The food was really good! Our server suggested the vegetable spring roll and it was awesome! This is definitely a great little restaurant, and a must try!
Food is always good, staff very friendly. Went to pick up lunch for two of us. Both had vegetable mango curry, one with chicken one with just vegetables. I had one piece of mango in my lunch and my husband had three. That was it for $40 to go. A bit disappointed, delicious but it's someone got lazy I think. 🤔🤷♀️
This is the only place I will go to for Thai food. It is my absolute favorite! So delicious! The pad Thai and mango sticky rice are to die for! And the staff are all so friendly and kind. 100% recommend!
This place has the best crab Rangoon and fried spring rolls I’ve ever had. I also got the green curry and it was amazing. Can’t wait to eat my leftovers for dinner lol
This place is an absolute gem! Wonderful service, & the food is meticulously prepared & presented—come and visit this lovely small business-you won’t regret it!
Best Thai food ever!
The food is awesome!
Love their food. We got take out mostly. Always prepared quickly and still yummy as leftovers. Vegan and vegetarian options.
Great food and service
Outdoor seating
Very good!
The food is great. I recommend ordering takeout. Inside service is pretty awful. The moment we sat down we were asked to order our food. Straws were thrown on the table with frustration after establishing we needed a minute to look at the menu. It was unpleasant service. Love the food, but I don't think we'll eat in the restaurant again.
Best Thai food I've ever had in my life
I’ve been eating Thai food for 3 decades and have been in search of very good Thai food in SWFL for almost 5 years. This place is by far hands down the best Thai food I have had in this area.
The lunch special started with a delicious small bowl of chicken broth soup along with a very tasty spring roll. I ordered the Shrimp Pad Thai that was one of the best I have had in long time. The healthy portion of food served will surely satisfy any Thai food connoisseurs pallet. The service was fast and efficient. So, if you’re craving Thai cuisine this is a sure thing!
Highly recommended.
Love everything on the menu! Always fresh and delicious 😋
Very nice for a quick meal. Food was great. Service was excellent. Will be back.
This was an unexpected pleasure. We went based on a friend's recommendation, and what a winner it turned out to be. Great food, good service and pleasant surroundings. Highly recommended.
Great food
Absolutely delicious. Best Thai food I have had outside of Thailand.
Really nice outdoor setting, great service, good variety of food, reasonable lunch prices for what you get.
Great mango curry lunch!
We eat here almost every week and this place never disappoints. The red curry is one of the best I’ve ever had and the egg rolls are impossible to resist. The staff are super nice and always instantly address any issues. Only thing to note is that the spice levels can change from day to day and a medium spice level is really from mild to hot.
Love this place and the food!
Food was great. Service was a weird experience. The server was kind of pushing to sell rather than helping. Their behavior was unexpected and almost rude. I will come back because the food really is good
Decent food. Could be better on the flavor...
For being a Thai restaurant their flavors were absent. We got nam tok, papaya, and Tom yom soup. Everything was missing seasoning and was barely salty. Portion was very small- snack size?? Would not recommend if you’re looking for authentic Thai food. Service was great though.
Parking lot is small so we had to park across a busy street. Not very convenient if you have kids.
Clean , tasty Thai food. Prices very affordable.
Food is really good here. The atmosphere was nothing special but we will definitely be back.
I can’t remember how long it’s been since I’ve had service this terrible. I would recommend going elsewhere with your time and money.
Terrific atmosphere! The service was great and so is the food. Thank you!
For a college student, the food was expensive, but delicious. The look of the place was also interesting, but felt a bit cramped. Definitely worth a try!
Most Authentic in town. Love this spot.
Delicious and fresh food! The Tom Kha Kai is creamy and sour and well made. The curry dishes have beautiful depth of flavor and the rice is always perfect. The ramen dishes are so flavorful and hearty. The Thai tea/coffees are also tasty and always prepared well. You really can't go wrong!
Never made it. We called at 9pm asking if we could order food if we made it there in 5 minutes, and the lady very rudely said that it was too late but to hurry up. Given that they closed at 10pm I assumed the kitchen would close at 930... Well, anyway, not really feeling like going to place (to eat) where I was just mistreated over the phone and clearly not welcome.
edited to add: The next day I was contacted by the manager who mentioned that one of her employees in her absence must have interacted with me, but that is not the spirit or policy of the restaurant. She apologized and offered to make amends and asked how she could make it right. I really appreciate her calling, and while i understand that sometimes individual employees may not reflect the restautant overall, it certainly affected our experience.
This place has the best duck I have ever it it was equally juicy and crispy with an amazing sweet and sour sauce the veggies were fresh and crispy and the duck was perfect with rice with a nice rich flavor well the chi tea was sweet it wasn’t bad honestly some of the best Asian food I have had had down in this area of Florida and it’s convenient location will make it a staple restaurant in my family.
The food was delicious. Service was very friendly, too.
Very clean flavors... every element comes through.
First time eating here. Excellent food and service. We will definitely come here more often.
Outdoor strip mall with glass to watch the passerbys. Service was exceptional. Food was very tasty.
Totally enjoyed a JAPANESE Udon soup. Really hit the spot. Price was right. Will gonagain this week.
Good and taste
The food is delicious 😋
Awesome food, great service, reasonable prices! Manager Melissa is a sweetheart. Ate there 3 times in 3 days after hurricane. It will be a regular spot for us.
Vegetarian Pad Thai. Delicious
Fried rice was good. I liked the chicken satay here . I wish they increase the fried rice quantity for the price.
This is one of my favorite spots to eat! The food is absolutely amazing.
Please don’t add MANDATORY 18% TIP. When there is minimal service. We were sitting outside and the waitress was too busy inside. It’s all understandable until they TIP THEMSELVES 🙄
Dinner was good and service was excellent
10/10
I really like the food here. The staff is very friendly. I would recommend to anyone looking for a great thai restaurant .
I love the Tom yum. And they've never got our order wrong.
ก๋วยเตี๋ยวเป็ดอร่อยมากครับ แน่นำให้มาทานครับ
Fresh and YES!
Very good food. Service was great. We enjoy their Thai tea and coffee.
We recently had a takeout order here and it was fantastic! You can never go wrong dining in or out at Thai Udon!
Best Japanese Udon noodle soup in town!
Always delicious!
Pricy. Service was mot good. Very slow .
Good Thai. Nice staff. Yum.
Wow oh wow! What a great find! Fantastic selection of Thai & Chinese food. My dish was excellent. Can't wait to go back and try the other menu items.
Massaman curry was excellent.
Wow! I’ve been to University Village for other restaurants there and Thai Udon Cafe always caught my eye, so now that I have finally tried them I can say that I am so happy we decided to go here for dinner! I ordered a bowl of the Japanese Ramen Noodles and being a ramen lover and having made the dish myself a few times, I was so happy with how this came out! It wasn’t too salty and it had just the right amount of flavor. There were so many vegetables which I loved about the dish even more. The shrimp was a perfect amount and it was served nearly boiling hot which is perfect for ramen from a personal standpoint. The atmosphere was very welcoming and clean. Our waiter “T” was so lovely and lively and made our dine in experience even better. I’m so happy I tried this restaurant and I will definitely be back in the future! (:
Best Staff, Great Food, Quick service! Fantastic atmosphere. Eat indoors or on patio!
love this place. menu is comprehensive, service excellent, delicious food and excellent value.
Super friendly service. Excellent food. The ingredients are fresh and the food is amazing. So glad we stopped here. Our family was so hungry and they served our dishes so quickly, yet the food was fresh and tasty. They didn’t have the exact dish my kids wanted in the menu, but they made it for them when we asked for it! :) Melissa is super sweet and helpful and perhaps the friendliest server we have ever met!! :) Thanks for a great meal, Thai Udon Cafe!
Best asian food around no cap. I would commit atrocities against the world if it meant I could feast on some Tofu Pad Thai… don’t even get me started on the curry.
Have been at least a 1/2 dozen times. The Tom Kha Is soup is amazing. Authentic, great food preparation, good ambience inside and out except when they are slammed during high season.
The absolute best crab rangoons and spring rolls I’ve ever had. This place is amazing. I drive literally 45 minutes to eat here 🎉👍🏼
Very slow to get your food out, but the food is good. Got our order wrong and didn't do anything about it, except Blane us for ordering wrong.
Service is fantastic, for in house and carry out. Very polite, thorough and they get it right. Food is fantastic. Veggies are fresh and crisp. Thai Udon is the top of my list for Thai food!!
Delicious avocado and crab salad was delicious
We just discovered this place. Excellent, service with a smile and very efficient. We will return
