Diner Review №1

Standard order of Pad Thai with chicken. Got a miso soup on the side. Chicken was tough, dry, and flavorless. Noodles and flavoring was okay when you could taste it. Miso soup was okay. Much better than the pad thai. I’ll be looking for an alternative. This is not my first pad thai, but it will be my last at this place. Service was slow, lady was nice, but 25 minutes for an overcooked pad thai with 3 tables in the dining room? Meh. Overall underwhelming experience.

The Ka Proud Lamb was sooo delicious!!!

Closes at 9:30, but said we need to call by 8:30.

Ranks high on the BS meter.

Diner Review №5

Went with 6 other ladies. Service was great..our server was outstanding. Between remembering what we ordered and numerous other request, he never missed a beat. Everyone agreed the food was delicious..from appetizers to dessert (yes, we tried them all!). We will be back!

Takeout after 5pm is unbelievably slow. The food is good, but the wait is always an hour or more…

Unfortunately there was a plastic tie mixed In the batter of the chicken. Very careless. Someone could have choked and died. Highly recommend not going.

Diner Review №11

The food tastes really good and prices are pretty reasonable. I like that they can adjust level of spiciness. Martinis are tasty and generous. Coconut cake is our favorite.

Diner Review №12

Fantastic fresh cuisine.

Diner Review №13

Best cafe in my area, does a great bacon and egg roll too

Diner Review №14

This has been one of my family’s favorite spots for years; however, in recent years the food quality has changed and definitely isnt as good as before. Still good and decent service though.

Diner Review №15

Good Thai food for sure the pot stickers came with a coconut peanut sauces that while a surprise was delicious

Diner Review №16

Pros: Food was prepared quickly, still hot when we made it back home (take-out order), and the vegetables were fresh.

Cons: Flavor is lacking and overall tasted bland. It is missing the sweet, savory, umami flavors that make Thai food unique. We were very disappointed. Although it is the closest Thai restaurant, we will not be returning.

Diner Review №17

I was visiting my family in town and wanted thai for dinner at home, Thai Cafe did not disappoint!! The Crab Angels are the best crab rangoons l've ever had, hands down - and I have eaten at several thai and sushi places in Charlotte! Everything was also fresh and ready to go when I ordered late on a Sunday night which I appreciate. The Tokyo Double sushi roll was also incredibly delicious, again of the best l've had. The Chicken Pad Thai was also yummy.
Will be back next time I'm in town!

Diner Review №19

Food is very good, sometimes if you ask for mild it is still quite spicy. I have also requested extra broccoli and noodles in the past and paid extra then got home and saw another meal was the same without anything extra. Not gonna take off any star maybe was an isolated incident.

Diner Review №20

My wife and I ate here twice and both times the food was outstanding! I had the Penang chicken my wife had the rice noodles with shrimp and some kind of peanuts and sauce. The potstickers were Amazing also along with the dipping sauce.

Diner Review №21

Service and food were outstanding. Food came out in a timely manner. The choices on how spicy you wanted the entree were excellent. Our waiter was amazing, polite, kind and very personable.

Diner Review №22

Our favorite take out spot!

Please, for the love of all the is holy, try the drunken noodles.

Diner Review №26

Got takeout. Really good Thai food. Everything we got was phenomenal.

Diner Review №27

I was excited to try a new Thai place but was disappointed in the food. I ordered the vegetable stir fry but it had no flavor and didn’t resemble Thai food at all. Service was okay, atmosphere was nice. I would not revisit.

Diner Review №28

If you like spicy food, it can be found at the Thai Cafe. I love spicy Asian food. Unfortunately, I can't eat hot spicy food, so I ordered a mild dish that was delicious. They also had mouth-watering desserts ( coconut cake).
Our waitress was very was very friendly and professional.
I highly recommend this restaurant!

Diner Review №30

Excellent food. There were 10 of us, and everyone loved their food.

Diner Review №31

Good food, good service, good prices, clean restaurant. Don't know why they aren't more busy but works for us!

Diner Review №32

First time here for dinner!! It was well worth my time!! Spicy Basil Thai Chicken and spring rolls. All delicious and my favorites. Will return for lunch again soon!! This place has not missed yet for me. Very quiet, as most people seem to pick up their food.

Diner Review №33

Beautiful food presentation. Interior very spacious. Plenty of parking outside. Gluten free and vegan options.

Diner Review №34

Ready quickly. Solid “Thai hot” pad Thai. Shrimp decent. Green curry chicken very good. Fresh rolls not so great.

Diner Review №35

This is the best Asian cuisine I've found in raleigh. The flavors are more authentic than any Thai food I have had before; It's far more fresh and unique. The preparation of the food is excellent quality, the fried chicken isn't greasy and the batter is perfect. The interior is simple and cozy. It has a private feel to it which I like. Awesome, delicious food!

Unfortunately, there is a newly hired waitress I encountered during my last visit to pick up a Togo order who was terribly rude. It's unfortunate because this experience was enough to make me not want to go back for a while.

Diner Review №36

Amazing Thai Food

Diner Review №37

Food is always great! Wonderful staff and service! Lunch specials are worth checking out!

Diner Review №38

My first time trying this restaurant! The food was great! The atmosphere was clean, comfortable, quiet, and enjoyable for conversation. I was seated quickly as it wasn't too busy for lunch. Now I know why it wasn't busy for lunch. Extremely slow service. There was only a guy and a girl waiting tables. The guy was on top of his job, but had to keep reminding the girl to wait on us. I think it was well over 30 minutes before she took our order and then maybe about that long getting our meals! I know my friend was late back to work and thankfully she has a forgiving boss. I'm wondering if this is common occurrence as I did read some reviews expressing the same thing. I would still come back, but only when time was not a factor. It is a bit pricey and much more for dinner.

Sushi was delicious

Diner Review №41

Have been long time customers but it seems that the quality has changed recently. Carry out—checked order before leaving and missing an item. Catfish was soggy and lukewarm. Potstickers were hard. Coconut cake was stale—usually moist and creamy. Disappointed.

Diner Review №42

First time there today food came out very fast we took it to go and everything that I had or we had was very good We would definitely go back staff was very nice food was very good
Had to add and adjust my rating.... Not sure what happened between the first time and this recent visit... But service was slow .. food took forever and some of the food tasted bad... Not sure if we will go back

Diner Review №43

No restaurant should ever forget to give you untinslels it’s 2024…

Diner Review №44

I love this place. It's kind of a hike but my husband and I would be in real trouble if it were any closer! Excellent dishes.

Diner Review №45

Service is very bad waiter completely in to phone and not checking the customers we ordered basil fried rice but got normal fried rice we have been to this place multiple times but the service is completely changed the way it is 1 year back I suggest the owner to look in to this matter.

Diner Review №46

Firstly , The ppl working here dono know how to take the order , gets a wrong one! Very unpolite staff ! Food standards are really low and cheap. Highly dissapointed!

Diner Review №47

Completely new experience first visit. The waiter was EXTREMELY HORRIBLE, SLOW & NOT CONSISTENT.

Had to ask for items twice waited on my drink which was just before food arrived.
Food was ok ...more americanized compared what I'm used to.

Diner Review №48

Fantastic food and service!

Diner Review №49

Diner Review №50

I've noticed a change in the quality of the food the last couple times I've been - the textures aren't as good as they were before (tough/dried noodles in my last order), but the staff is still very friendly, and the food comes out fast. Lots of gluten-free options.

Diner Review №51

Excellent Thai food. Friendly staff

You gotta try the coconut soup.

Diner Review №55

This place is blah. Service is okay, food not so great. Definitely have been to better Thai spots in Raleigh & in other states. Not sure where all these good reviews come from. Maybe this is all people know without any comparisons?

Diner Review №56

Diner Review №57

This place had amazing food with good service and it was open with no wait. Reservation on Christmas Eve was made and we were able to walk in amd sit at out reserved table. Meals we great. I loved the drunken noodles and the Pad Thai. I would and will eat there again.

Diner Review №58

Diner Review №59

Not the best atmosphere, but the food was pretty good and the service was also pretty good

Diner Review №60

First time here. It won't be my last. The food was excellent, great service and wonderful atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Diner Review №61

This is one of my favorite restaurants- service is great- food is tasty- try the curry chicken noodle bowl.

Diner Review №62

We were served old dry chicken. The server was rude. Our waitrer never helped us. Another manager said they would not charge us for that meal. Our other 2 meals were not good at all. Shrimp pad thai had 3 shrimp and it had no taste. I am disputing this charge and will not let them get away with this insult.

Diner Review №63

We were craving Thai/Chinese this Saturday evening and looking for something casual. Our 1st visit and frankly I can’t imagine why some rated it low, we had an excellent experience and the restaurant was full of diners.

You can dine outside or in, we chose inside at a table but they also have booths or seating at the bar. They have a full bar, so martinis, beer, wine, whatever you want. The wine list is basic but expected for a casual restaurant.

We brought my mother, so 3 adults. We had a Sauvignon Blanc, iced tea and a coke. I like extra ice, asked for it and she brought me a huge glass of ice on the side and refilled it 3x. We all had a starter… wonton soup (HUGE bowl) and it was tasty with freshly made wontons and very clear broth, the spring rolls (delish), and a rainbow roll which was BOGO, so 2 rolls! Zero complaints so far.

For dinner we had the Panang Curry with chicken, Broccoli lovers with chicken and tons of shiitake mushrooms and the Broccoli lovers with beef, both Thai hot spice level. Our meals were huge, delicious, our spicy level was excellent… if you like spicy, they actually make it HOT.

Our server was excellent constantly checking on us, there were lots of employees working so it seemed like a well oiled machine. We have zero complaints and will definitely return. Our bill was $95 plus tip which was a great deal for all we ordered.

Why 4 stars not 5? Just for the overall casual decor/atmosphere. It was 5 stars for Thai and fully acceptable for what it is.

Diner Review №64

Great food, great music and great service!

Diner Review №65

Really good classic tom ka soup. Also great crab Rangoon.

Diner Review №66

The drunken noodles were bland and didn’t taste good at all. It was barely spicy and I didn’t feel like it had any sauce. The crab angels were also disappointing because they lacked cream cheese. I don’t recommend the ginger dressing either.

Diner Review №67

Our wait person was so helpful finding a lunch menu item with salmon and the food was delicious and beautifully displayed. The atmosphere was calming and paceful.

Diner Review №68

Diner Review №69

Fine food, fine service.

Diner Review №71

Delicious food. Amicable staff

Diner Review №72

I ordered to pick up, and I really wish I’d read the individual reviews instead of looking at a high average rating and trusting it. Baby food Thai. If Chef Boyardee ever made Thai food, this would be it. If I hadn’t spent so much, or if the portions had been more generous, I could have been happy doctoring it up with the contents of my fridge. I’d rather make it myself than to do that again. Anyone know if any of the local markets carry green papaya?

Diner Review №73

The food, and service were great.
Nicko did a great job.
If you ever come to this place, asked for Nicko

Diner Review №74

Great food and great service. I was visiting fron out of state, Nico and his team did a great job with the food and service. Excellent customer service. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Diner Review №75

Nico the server was very helpful. We had a large party of 20 people and had a great service. To Nico 💯

Diner Review №76

I am from Colorado and definitely very impressed with the amazing food I had ! The staff is amazing especially Nico who was charged with taking care of us! Thank Nico you were great

Diner Review №77

Nico great server

Diner Review №78

Ordered take out, the lamb was severely undersized. For $22 this is what I was given.
Other food was adequate to tasty, but this is just insulting.

Diner Review №79

Never again. Way over priced for mediocre Thai food. Ordered from the lunch menu but waiter brought us the “true cup size”, so he said we had to pay for the soups even though they are included with the lunch entree. Then asked if we wanted another soup or salad to go with our entree since it came with the meal?? That makes sense.🙄So, we agreed to the complimentary salads, but he never brought the salads. Then the waiter brought the wrong entree to my husband. The food was not good. The lamb entree had two thin tiny chops smothered in sweet syrup. The Pad Thai was not anything like what I have had at other Thai cuisine restaurants with a sour orange sauce. And my son’s chicken was floating in sweet/sour sauce making it a soggy soupy mess.

The waiter said he would remove the “cup” price from the bill since he got us the wrong size to begin with and then forgot to bring our salads. We were going to pay the bill and then he brought a revised bill with the soups added back to the bill. He said the manager wouldn’t omit the soups even though they are part of the lunch deal. What a rip off. We will stick with Lemongrass Thai in Raleigh. The service and food there is far superior.

Diner Review №80

Brought the wrong food. Manager would not honor lunch deal even though we ordered from the lunch menu. Waiter sucks. Manager sucks worse. Never again.

Diner Review №81

Great place to eat.

Diner Review №82

Always consistent. Great food and staff.

Diner Review №83

We really enjoyed our lunch. The food and service was great. We will definitely be frequenting again.

Diner Review №84

We go to thai cafe once every month and that's how much we enjoy the food at this place. Although the interior is not something to boast about, it's clean and decent. Food options are huge and my best bets are Pineapple fried rice, volcano chicken, Yellow curry, Drunken noodles, Potstickers, Chicken Satay, Coconut soup and Coconut cake. Yet to try other stuff but the food is really good and the portions are great too. I highly recommend this place and it's the top thai restaurant in wakeforest.

Diner Review №85

We love Thai Cafe! The staff is very attentive, and the food is super fresh. My favorite dishes are the pad see ewe, and the Massuman curry with avocado.

Diner Review №86

The Tall young man working this afternoon provided excellent service, very kind and polite. Great Hire!

Diner Review №87

Good food and good service! Recommend you at Thai Cafe Wake Forest!

Diner Review №88

Love this place! Good Thai food (a little high priced but good portions). We've never had bad service either. Definitely recommend! (Our server tonight was Grant and he was awesome)

Diner Review №89

Good food - consistently. Attentive service. Strip mall atmosphere - as expected. Reasonable price. Overall, an experience that exceeds expectations.

Diner Review №90

The food is always fresh and tasty. It is quiet whenever we are there but the takeout biz is constant.

Diner Review №91

Food was great and I received excellent service from the young man who grabbed my pick up order.

Diner Review №92

Diner Review №93

Diner Review №94

Got this place confused with a different Thai place we order from, but it was still pretty good! I’d definitely go back for another round. We ordered the drunken noodles, basil fried rice, and papaya salad.

Diner Review №95

Our planned lunch place wasn't open so we noticed this "Authentic" Thai and decided to give it a try. On walking in it was clean and well staffed with nice people, we were immediately seated. My partner and I both ordered Jasmine Tea and that was our first clue. "Authentic" Thai doesn't bring a cup of hot water and a tea bag.

Again we both order the same, lamb chops and a salad. The salad was a few huge leaves of lettuce with some dressing, using my fork I managed to cut into mouth sized pieces. When the entree came it was two of the smallest chops I've ever seen on a plate full of sauce. The chops annd sauce was good but hardly worth the price. We were not visited again untill time for the check.

Summary, clean, quiet, roomy, tasty entree, but won't be returning.

Diner Review №96

This is one of the best Thai restaurants I’ve been to. I’m always surprised how empty they are. This place is on regular rotation for dinner.

Diner Review №97

Diner Review №99

Red Curry was watery, bland and nothing but pieces of chicken in soupy curry. There was not one vegetable or pepper or anything in the curry. I lived in Thailand for many years, and this is NOT Thai curry, it's lazy. The pad Thai was good, but nothing special. I used to eat here all the time, but something has definitely changed. New chef, maybe? Waiter was awesome and atmosphere is great, too. That's nice, but I went there for the food.... so I won't be back.

Diner Review №100

Food was excellent. Our waitress was very attentive and checked with us often. Prices were reasonable. My daughter loved the sushi. The crispy calamari appetizer is very good too. It was a great experience for all.

Raleigh is a Thai food desert so thank goodness this place isn’t too far. I loved Twisted Noodle in Chapel Hill, but when I moved to Raleigh, I was excited to find my new Thai spot. I tried four different Thai places in Raleigh. They all had good reviews and they were all garbage. It’s just one of those “when you know you know” type of things. This place is a bit of a hike for me but I couldn’t be happier with the food. The other places I tried make this super oily, almost watery curry that has no flavor at all. I would get the extra spicy ones and while it rocked me spice wise. Somehow the flavor was just absent. It’s so oily that you can see the oil sitting on the top. I’m not sure if this is a different style or something, but I think it’s awful and tastes cheap. Thai cafe’s curry, on the other hand, is the perfect amount of thickness. It’s rich and creamy, but not too rich and creamy. In fairness I still haven’t tried every single Thai place in Raleigh, but this place is for sure legit and I will be frequenting this establishment.

Best place for Thai in Wake Forest! Their massaman curry is particularly good.

Diner Review №107

Solid little Thai restaurant.

Diner Review №108

Pretty good food in a calm and relaxed environment

Green curry with vegetables is one of my fav. Has good consistency in curry and enough veggies as well. Quantity is always more.

Could not send it back because I was short on time.
Will not eat there again.

Thai Cafe, Wake Forest, Raleigh
An unassuming restaurant with the most delicious Thai food being served.
The Spicy Drunken Noodles … you must have that. Very tasty .....
Service is quick. Generous servings.
They also have Sushi , but we were stuffed and could not try that.

Diner Review №123

I ordered their beef satay, Thai BBq chicken with shrimp fried rice for lunch takeout. I loved the beef satay: hot, savory, seasoned perfectly! The shrimp fried rice very tasty and the BBQ chicken was decent ( a bit dry)

I would have given 4 stars if the service had been more cheerful and friendly. I came in and was left standing there without a hello or hi.

Diner Review №124

Diner Review №125

The food was very flavorful and delicious.

Diner Review №126

Ordered the pork fried rice as an entree. Disappointing at best. Very uninspired. Steamed rice, huge chunks of bland pork and quarter sized cuts of tomatoes. A little egg and some onion. $18. You’ll get better from a mall food court. I wouldn’t order from here again based on this dish.

Diner Review №127

This place just received a "B" sanitation grade. :(

Diner Review №128

The massaman curry with shrimp is incredible. I love eating here!

Diner Review №129

Diner Review №130

Pretty ridiculous that we sat there for 20 mins and not one single waiter came to check in with us. Not even water. What makes it worse is that people who came in after us had their orders taken. Big let down, since they usually aren’t that bad food wise. But this was just BS.

Diner Review №131

This has been one of my favorite Thai restaurants in the Triangle area since I moved here 7 years ago. Sadly it's far away from me so I hadn't been in a long time, but it was still all excellent. The drunken noodles, curries, and Thai basil stir fry are all excellent. The coconut cake can't be beat- so light and fluffy she moist and coconutty. Delicious.

Diner Review №132

I have never had Thai food before. The food was very tasty. I had the spicy coconut soup with shrimp and Panang curry. Both were very good. I did notice they were a little in the expensive side. But I will be going back as the food was definitely very delicious.

Diner Review №133

We went with another couple so we were able to try a greater variety and it was all delicious. Service was fantastic and everyone was super friendly. Crab Rangoon (not what they were called but can't remember their name) were probably the best I've ever had. Super thin wrapper, incredible filling and fried to perfection. Yum!

Diner Review №134

First time eating here but not the last time! Very good food and friendly service.

Diner Review №135

Excellent Thai food and friendly service. Our friends took us for the 1st time tonight and it was very nice.

The spring rolls, crab angles and tempura were great. The Thai BBQ chicken and fried rice was super. Don't know what the marinade it in, but they should bottle it!

Diner Review №136

Small serving for price. I ordered shrimp pad thai. It came with 4 shrimp and was heavily saturated in oil making the oily taste overpowering. I've had much better at many places. I could not recommend this dish.

Diner Review №137

Spent over $150 on a birthday takeout order. Order was supposed to come with sauces. They weren’t included so I asked for sauce and was told it would be $1 for sauce even though the order was supposed to include. Management was rude and unwilling to make their mistake correct. I will never visit this place again due to the extremely poor management and customer service. Do not recommend.

Diner Review №138

Great food. The location is nice and clean.

Diner Review №139

Love this place Thai BBQ is the best crispy duck is tender love it

Diner Review №140

Diner Review №141

Diner Review №142

We ordered a variety of dishes for delivery. They all were bad. Tasteless and greasy. Will never order from here again.

Diner Review №143

The sushi menu is marginal. They didn't have yellowtail. They also don't give you the option for low salt soy sauce until you ask twice and they do not carry gluten-free soy. Their roll selection is minimal, and there was way too much rice on the roll. Mostly, all the special rolls had cream cheese in them. No healthy options.
The duck entree for $24 was super salty and dry. The fried rice really wasn't. Just regular rice with some soy sauce on it.

Diner Review №144

Diner Review №145

We had both the green and red curry dishes and they were DELICIOUS! Ill have to visit them again soon

Diner Review №146

I have never left my food behind at a restaurant. I have a high tolerance for food that may not taste the best. If I paid for it and it won't make me sick, I'll eat because I don't want to waste it. Not in this case....

I don't know if it was on purpose or what, but it was the second worse restaurant food I've ever had. I ate maybe 3 bites of the chicken which was dry and flavorless and only one bit of the rice that was so disgusting my stomach immediately turned.

I paid for our meals which was $44 and tipped politely because I understand that the restaurant business is a difficult industry and I appreciate their service, atmosphere, timeliness, and menu options. I always pay. Period. We left and bought sushi at Wegmans.

I'm just so disappointed.

Diner Review №147

Delicious and the staff is so very friendly and thoughtful. It's not somewhere I'd go if I were in a hurry - they're great, just not particularly fast. Regardless, will continue to return.

Can recommend the crab fried rice, yellow curry, pad Thai, and spicy shrimp udon noodles.

We love Thai Cafe! We started coming here a few years ago when we came from New Jersey to visit our daughter and family. We moved to Zebulon also two years ago. Whenever we have to be in Wake Forest we plan on visiting Thai Cafe. The food is fresh and delicious. The service is great. They have had to limit there hours, I suppose because of pandemic, but we can still find a convenient time. My daughter likes to get red bean curry with tofu, my husband likes just about anything with chicken and love it all!

Diner Review №151

Great food and service

Diner Review №152

The food: Delicious. The service: Superb! 10/10
(The sushi is slightly pricy, but as it’s a Thai cafe, I would recommend getting curry.)

Diner Review №153

Prompt service, never had to wait or ask for a refill. She knew what we needed when we needed it. Food was AMAZING! Most tender chicken breast Iv ever had.

Diner Review №154

Diner Review №155

This is on our regular rotation of Wake Forest restaurants and we have been many times. The food is great. My favorite is the Thai barbecue chicken, simply yummy, a half chicken. The Spicy Basil is another go-to no brainer selection. The Volcano Pot with coconut soup is great. Service is just average, not stellar. They can get busy and be understaffed. Prices are a touch higher than other Thai places, but not ridiculous. The ambiance is modern and plenty of space, usually clean. Some of the tables have old surfaces that really need refinishing because the finish is sticky and a little gummy. But overall, a good restaurant to have in Wake Forest.

Diner Review №163

Diner Review №164

The food was excellent! The fried spring rolls were light and crunchy, the Crab Angel's were excellent and the Pad Thai Shrimp was perfect.

The service was a bit un-attentive. We never got our salads that came with our lunch entre and we weren't checked up on once throughout our entire meal. We sat for a long time with clean plates set to the side waiting and finally were asked if we needed anything else. The staff is kind, inviting and very nice.

Diner Review №165

I was pleasantly surprised how lowkey and chill this place was. Each table had a small vase with battery operated mini lights. I had to take the top off to turn it on, couldn't resist.
The Sesame chicken itself was a
9.5/10 in terms of actually tasting like chicken...and having a super light and airy crunch/bite. I had to get up to walk to the bar for another coke...and the broccoli and carrots served with the Sesame chicken just didnt taste good. A for effort...B or C for taste and overall experience.

Diner Review №166

I got the basil rolls, which were filled largely with rice noodles and the basil didn't stand out. I liked the spicy plum sauce, but it could have been spicier. Then came the chicken panang curry, add vegetables. In hindsight, I would have asked for half chicken, half vegetables as it was a lot of chicken. The sauce was milder in flavor than I'm used to, bordering on bland, and the chicken and vegetables tasted like they were cooked plain and then doused with sauce. Overall it was a decent meal but I was not thrilled for >$25 plus tip. Service was a little slow as they dealt with seating a few other tables and a short line of people picking up takeout.

Diner Review №167

I don't usually leave reviews on yelp, but I had to leave a review for Thai Cafe. I have lived in Thailand, so my standards are high, I admit. The best thing I have to say about this place is the coconut soup - it's on point. The sushi was horrible, the worst I've ever had. The kind that when you taste it, you know you shouldn't eat any more of it unless you want to be up all night. They offered to replace it with another roll, but the other one was not fresh and I didn't eat that one either. I ordered pad Thai, because most Thai restaurants do a decent job at that dish. This was the worst pad Thai I've ever had. It didn't even look like the authentic dish. I couldn't eat much of it because it was so overly sweet, with no sour or savory or spicy flavor, literally just sweet. A big disappointment and I won't be back.

Diner Review №168

Love Thai Cafe. Has been one of our favorites for a while. Recently prices went up which is understandanble but we also had 2 bad meals.
Last one the sushi had tiny pieces of fish on it and it did not taste fresh. The noodle dish wasnt right either. I am hoping it is a temporary staff/chef issue. We will go back as it has been consistentky good until what i hope is a small dip in the road.

LOVE this place. It’s not much of a looker but the food is quality. Every time family comes from out of town I bring them here and everyone has always loved it.

My favorite restaurant! We've been coming here for years, and also ordering takeout. The food and service is always excellent. Highly recommend.

Food is good. I've had better Thai elsewhere, but if you don't want to travel into Raleigh this is a good place to go.

Great food but absolutely horrible service every time we go. The service is always incredibly slow and we always seem to have some kind of issue. I’m done giving them chances. I will only order carry-out from now on. Last time we went, our table ordered 4 mixed drinks and they came out to us with the glasses literally half-filled. I’m completely serious when I say they looked like shots. We all started laughing when we saw them and the waitress didn’t seem to understand our reaction. I took a sip of my drink thinking maybe they had forgotten to put the mixer in but I couldn’t even taste the alcohol. We tried to explain what was wrong with them to the waitress but she still didn’t understand so we just sent all the drinks back and ordered wine and beer. There was also the time they double-billed everyone’s credit cards at the table and we didn’t realize until the next day. So, yes I would recommend take-out although I saw a woman there waiting quite a while for a take-out order that she had expected to be ready upon her arrival.

Panang curry was very good, tons of very well cooked tofu and veg, good spice even at their medium heat. Also pretty decent sushi for a Thai place, especially for bogo. Would definitely order from here again.

Recently had a business meeting over lunch at Thai Cafe. We all loved our dishes and the service we received was equally fantastic, and we were never rushed by our server so that she could turn the table. Highly recommend!!

Fresh and delicious. Excellent all around. Definitely be back.

Diner Review №192

The waiters are rude. I waited 20 for a to go order that was ready sitting on the counter while I waited at the bar for help. Won't eat there for a while. It will be the last result to choose from before they get any more of my money!!!!!
