The Buffet was wonderful. Some of the best Thai food I've ever had

Diner Review №5

Worst experience! Called for pick up and get there and it was closed. Then the lady calls me and insisted we go back because she was eating and didn't open the door. Once I told her no I would not be driving back another 30 min she said we could not do that and we needed to go back and pick up the food after I got off work and when I told her no I was not gonna do that after I had gone on my lunch and she wasn't prepared ahead proceeded to cus at me for her mistake. Horrible manners horrible customer service. Learn how to tend to.people since you are in the business to wait on people. So I say you go to hell like you told me over the phone. Don't eat there. Theres better restaurantsthat offer better customer service and food. She's rude and wants to charge for something you don't get food and customer service

This place is a little hidden gem in San Antonio and hands down, the best Thai buffet I’ve ever been too! The price is super cheap too! $16.99 all you can eat with 20 or so dish items to choose from. The staff are always so welcoming and sweet!

Excellent from the service to the food. Practically home made and fresh. The Thai tea had just the perfect amount of sweetness and I love the fact of being able to pick how spicey I wanted my curry (extra hot).It is a small, neat, cute place but full of flavor. The fried bananas "a la mode", are amazing!
Thank you Thai Cafe!

Diner Review №9

Bad customer service and even worse owner. Lady sits at the front and charges people just for sitting there as everyone works around her. 5 dollar fee for no reason after I ate one plate of food and never refilled it.

Diner Review №10

Charged 10$ on a fee i was told over the phone i wouldn't get since I was by myself. They ended up putting it on at the end and said I never called.

Diner Review №11

Don't EVER go here! Horrible attitude from servers and got charged 6 dollars for a gratuity fee wirh the explanation of "well the servers only get paid this amount" wasn't even there for 20 minutes before I had to leave because the food tasted funny and the water I was offered tasted like chemical tap.

Diner Review №12

Was rushed out and given the bill after not even sitting down for 10 minutes. Kept to myself and was charged a 7 dollar gratuity fee for nothing, didn't even ask for a refill on my water. Been going here for years and this will be the last time I go.

Diner Review №14

So happy to have been here!
Thai iced tea was so refreshing and much needed after a being out in the hot sun! Really appreciated the drink.
Also had their veg spring rolls and red curry. Both were delicious.

Diner Review №15

Came back after 10 years!!!!! And it’s so good and still the same great customer service. Definitely will be back even if we live in Austin….

Diner Review №16

Great food! So many good options

Diner Review №17

We came here for the lunch buffet that is offered from 11:00AM to 2:00PM. The selection was very good and everything on the buffet looked fresh and delicious! I really enjoyed the pad Thai and the fried rice paired with the yellow curry! I felt that there was a lot of options here and everything had a good process to it! There were markers showing if the food was spicy or not as well as the staff giving recommendations and happy to answer any questions you may have. The price was very affordable and I was happy with the service and food! The only downside was a personal preference of mine where they did not offer fountain drinks for soft drinks/sodas.

Diner Review №18

If you're wanting to try Thai food but don't know what to order I'd like to recommend the lunch buffet. They have a great selection and everything I tried was delicious!

Diner Review №19

Ordered delivery! The food was low quality. High amounts of sugar are used to mask the lack of worth.

Diner Review №20

Wonderful Thai restaurant in San Antonio, Texas

Diner Review №21

The food is AMAZING. Hot & fresh every time. Buffet is 11am-2pm and I definitely recommend it. Just make you sure eat everything you put on your plates.

Diner Review №22

It's a bit hard to rate TC. The food was better than average. We did the buffet. There was a white color soup that initially was very mildly spicy, the a bit more, then suddenly a spoonful made me start coughing uncontrollably. I guess the real heat had settled. I doubt I'll have that again. Then there's the price. 42.50 + tip. For 2 people. I'm sure their costs have gone way up. It's like that everywhere.

I had the lunch buffet. The food is delicious. Many different options. Their noodle dishes were all so good. They have a lot of vegetables, which is perfect for me as a vegetarian.

Diner Review №32

Food is always fresh, authentic, and flavorful. I have been coming here since 2003 and no other Thai food place compares to this one. The staff is always friendly and on top of it all.

The people here are the absolute kindest people you will ever meet! I never write reviews, but I want everyone to know how fabulous they are here. They are quick, respectful, kind. The food is absolutely delicious, and every time I come here I feel like I'm with friends and family. 100/10 recommend!

Diner Review №38

Im kinda glad i live fairly far from this place because it has become my favorite buffet. Its not a mega chinese buffet but its an AMAZING thai lunch buffet. Standard options and a great introduction to people who have never had thai cuisine. I ordered a small thai tea and it came in like a chalice which was pretty funny and tasted great. Im looking forward to coming back and hoping they have the mango sticky rice.

Diner Review №39

Amazing Buffet.

Diner Review №43

Food is so fresh
Service is very attentive without being bothersome
Reasonably priced

Diner Review №44

Thai Cafe is hands down the best Thai restaurant in San Antonio. As someone married into a Thai family, I can say the food is authentic, consistently flavorful, and served by wonderful front of house staff. Portions are spot on for the price, excellent value. Looking forward to trying their buffet as well. At the current price, it’s an absolute steal.

Diner Review №45

BUFFET !!🥰🥰

Diner Review №46

Great place. The lunch buffet was awesome. Everything tasted great and high quality.

Diner Review №47

The lunch buffet is so good! I went two days in a row. I loved the pad se ew, grilled pork, and the shrimp!

My only suggestion is that they provide napkins at the tables. Some of the food is messy and if you use more than one napkin you have to ask the staff for more.

Diner Review №48

Diner Review №49

Finally- great pad Thai and the red curry was perfectly delish Prices are very reasonable. I can't wait to come back for lunch buffet. Fresh. Spices- spot on! Server, Alisa was sweet and attentive.

Diner Review №50

Lunch buffet is wonderful, everything was fresh and delicious

Diner Review №51

Went for the lunch buffet. The selection was smaller than most buffets BUT completely worth the price. I’d go for the spring rolls alone. And the Taro pudding was so good!!

Diner Review №52

What To Order: Lunch Buffet, Beef Salad

My favorite Thai restaurant. I've been a patron of Thai Cafe for over 10 years. I've gotten to know the owner, who has trained many of the Thai chefs in the San Antonio area. I've had the privilege of observing the cooking techniques and can say for a fact, vegetables are peeled, chopped and prepped fresh, spices are picked from the stem by the staff.

They offer a lunch buffet which is a must if you've never been there before. The selection is absolutely amazing, you wont find another Thai buffet like this anywhere. (Fried cheese rolls, Fried Pork & Thai BBQ sauce, Beef Salad (Yum Nua), Pad Woon Sen, Coconut Tapioca, Pumpkin Soup) are just a few of the items on the lunch buffet which includes over 30 items.

Favorites at Thai Cafe are the Beef Salad, and the Fried Pork with Thai BBQ Sauce. The Beef salad is served hot unlike many places that serve a cold salad with med rare beef. Its a change, that I come here for.

I would recommend this place to everyone and do.. The staff is always friendly and many are part of the Chefs family. They take pride in the freshness of the food and service they provide.

Diner Review №53

Very rude and unprofessional staff. They kicked me out & yelled at me because I didn't like my food! I have never been treated so horribly in my life. The cook threatened to call the police on me because she didn't like me telling her that I didn't like the taste of my food. She cut me off every word to rebuttal. I was being very polite. The server also was very combative! This place cares about your money, not you! Very confrontational people behind smiles.

How do you ask a person a question and kick them out and call the police on them because your temper and customer service skills are lacking! She literally told me I had 30 seconds to leave & told the elder at the front to call as I was walking out. If a person doesn't like the taste of their food, you accommodate them like a proper business. I could see if I ate most of it. I tasted the broth. Calling the police on people just because you're emotional or indifferent of another's opinion & just because you can is an abuse of power and a waste of their time. TPWBSD

Diner Review №54

Lunch buffet is back!!! Coming here for 20+ years, raised the kid on their pad Thai and spring rolls. It's a real treat when they make their sticky rice and cheese rolls. Quality varies day to day but from the range of very good to amazing. Worth the trip across town

Diner Review №55

Diner Review №56

I used to love coming here for the lunch buffet, even before the pandemic. But since they’ve brought back the lunch buffet, it’s not been the same. I have been a few times, the food quality has dropped and the new buffet rules flyer to customers is very off-putting and rude so I do not think I’ll be back. The notice will say things like please wash your hands because you’re “nasty” and a number of other things that just make a customer feel unwelcome. Simply put there’s a better and more professional way to ask your customers to follow hygiene rules, which I have no problem with, but the way it’s expressed is very crude. It’s like they took their customer experience model from a place like Dick’s.

Diner Review №57

Great that it's back. Just needs to have the fried pork included instead of the fried chicken.

Diner Review №58

The food was phenomenal. The quality of the food that you get for the price is great. Definitely the best Thai food I’ve ever had. I ordered the combo pad Thai, and my wife ordered the beef salad, and we HIGHLY recommend both of those dishes. There’s a buffet from 11-2 that we missed, but will definitely be coming back to try. The Thai tea is the best I’ve had anywhere, brewed fresh in house as we were told by our waitress. Speaking of her, she was awesome and catered to all of our needs, but I didn’t catch a name!! If you’re thinking about eating here, stop thinking 😋

Diner Review №59

Diner Review №60

Im Thai & Laos. I can say this place is authentic. I will definitely be back because its rare to find a thai buffet.

Diner Review №61

Great food, great people 🏆

Diner Review №62

Very delicious and fresh food. !!!

Diner Review №63

Diner Review №64

The best darn Thai buffet you could imagine. A little pricey, but week worth it. Definitely on my list of places to return regularly.

Diner Review №65

Wise Thai food Iv ever had.. The food was salty, very limited choices, and $20.00 for a very bad meal was just ridiculous! Will never return..

Diner Review №66

Beef saled is the best, but it's a little expensive 😅

Diner Review №67

Very happy the buffet has returned.

Diner Review №68

Been eating here for 20 years and still the best Thai food!

Diner Review №69

Diner Review №70

Such an amazing staff!!! Super friendly!! And the BUFFET IS BACK 🎉🎉

Diner Review №71

Buffet is awesome......AWESOME

Diner Review №72

I'm so happy that they have Lunch Buffet again!

I've been a loyal patron of Thai Cafe for nearly 16 years, and it remains my favorite Thai restaurant for many reasons. The moment you walk in, you're greeted by the warm and friendly staff who make you feel right at home.

The food at Thai Cafe is consistently outstanding. Their Phad Thai is perfectly balanced, with just the right amount of sweetness, tang, and spice. The fried ribs are a must-try, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, bursting with flavor. The cheese rolls are a delightful appetizer, crunchy and creamy, setting the stage for the meal to come. Their fried rice is always cooked to perfection, fluffy and packed with a variety of fresh ingredients. The beef salad is another standout, with juicy, flavorful beef paired with a vibrant mix of greens and a tangy dressing.

The ambiance is cozy and inviting, with tasteful decor that adds to the overall dining experience. Whether you're there for a quick lunch or a leisurely dinner, the atmosphere is always comfortable and welcoming.

Over the years, I've had countless memorable meals at Thai Cafe, and the quality has never wavered. The consistency, delicious food, and exceptional service keep me coming back time and again. Thai Cafe is a true gem, and I can't recommend it highly enough.

Diner Review №76

This was the first Thai restaurant I ever ate at over 20 years ago when stationed in San Antonio and they have maintained their incredible flavors! My wife and I drove specifically from Fredericksburg to eat here again! We had the Garlic Chicken with medium spice and it was sooo flavorful! Fantastic food and the service was great.

Diner Review №77

Amazing, as always! Delicious, authentic thai food; wonderful service, kind staff. Best thai in San Antonio!

Diner Review №78

Best Thai restaurant ever! We have been going here for years and every single time they knock it out of the park.

Diner Review №79

Food is always amazing. Great service!

Diner Review №80

Pad thai was perfect and a large portion.

Diner Review №81

After a pretty horrible day and skipping breakfast and lunch, I googled for food near me, saw Thai with a good rating from newer reviews, and stopped in here. I’ve passed this place many times, and it’s definitely and older building from businesses long ago but once inside you wouldn’t know that! 🌅 It’s like going from the outside to inside there’s a vibe change, right down to the funky rendition of California Dreamin’.

Inside there are fresh plants and even the bathroom is spruced up with pretty faux flowers (and super big, clean, for cleaning up or changing your kid, even a spare chair if you been running around and just need to sit a minute. lol can’t believe how impressed I was with the bathroom but again compared to age of the building outside and part of town it’s in, what a PLEASANT shock! These ladies at Thai Cafe take PRIDE! 💖), paintings of Thai culture as well as a tv and some photos of their foods. There are about 10 tables that sit 4-8 people, with another 10 or so that sit two. The ambiance is bright with soft yellow and white topping off the good vibes.

Food?
Ohhhh yes, food! In the menu are pictures so you can see what to order; I ordered the sweet and sour chicken dish with fried egg and steamed rice. It came with daikon soup that was mild, piping hot in temperature, and delicious. I kept the spice level suggested in the menu (mild) even tho I usually like high spice, and it was just enough to give a kick without any heartburn. The portion size was generous and check out the coloring on that fried egg, cooked to a perfect over easy. Rice was not too soft or too hard; not sure what rice they use but I would definitely eat it again. I was also happy that among the mountain of chicken, you could see good portion of the veg too. Mine had jalapeño, pineapple, tomatoes, and - who woulda thought warm ones were so good?! - cucumbers.

Service for my table start to finish was by a woman named Liila (say: Lee-lah) and she was sweet and attentive without being overbearing, and very positive and inviting both about the place and also when I asked her about a flyer for what turns out is her Buddhist Temple. If everyone there is as cool as her, you may see a review from me there.

Liila told me that Thai Cafe has been open since 🤯 1998; my only regret for this experience was that I wish I came here sooner. Don’t wait, GO! Make them thrive for another 30 years!!

9 of us ladies went for lunch, friendly service great food will come back!

Diner Review №84

This is like a sweet mom and pop shop (:
I love eating here, the waitresses are always so sweet and the staff is amazing. The food is amazing quality (my grandma and mom are immigrated from Thailand and LOVE the quality of the Thai food here.)

I can personally attest for my grandma, who is undergoing chemo, that it has been so hard finding food she will actually eat for the last few months. She’s requested we bring her here to Thai Cafe a handful of times because she SPECIFICALLY misses and craves the authentic Thai food that she had back in Thailand.

Diner Review №85

Im always satisfied here everything is five *****

Diner Review №86

Good food enough for a second meal, great service, good price.

Diner Review №87

Best Paht Thai in San Antonio

Diner Review №88

I visited with two friends, one white and one Latina. My waitress looked and addressed me with a scowl and disdain but addressed them like she knew them forever. She looked and seemed pissed and never smiled🤨

Was it because I'm black?

The beef on my salad was over cooked and the sauce too salty

Not a fan.
'Will never return....

Everything was so good and you got a lil snack on the side. I'm not sure what it was, but it and the egg roll was good. Thai sweet & sour chicken was done right 🤝🏾

Diner Review №92

Great quality food option in this area. Nice helpful service. I haven't eaten on site yet just to-go.

Diner Review №93

I went there because I think they have lunch buffet. But they do not do it anymore.
I ordered lunch special chicken pad woon sen. I got the clear soup with some daikon in it. And I did not like it. But the entree is huge and delicious. It came with 1 cheese roll and 1 veggie roll. The cheese roll is one of the best cheese I’ve ever had.

My husband wanted to try this place out. I can say I liked it more than the other 2 Thai places we’d tried previously. Seems like a whole in the wall place. The food came out quick and everything was pretty good. The service was good as well and they were very nice. We’ll definitely be back.

Diner Review №97

The food was absolutely delicious. It was spicy which I enjoyed especially in this cold weather you want something hot like that for your body. I honestly can't wait to take my husband here so he could try some.

This is the best Thai food in San Antonio I tried the other Thai restaurants but they not tasty

Diner Review №102

The best green curry ever. So fresh and flavorful. Generous portion. I could eat this everyday. Thanks for the love that’s put into this dish.

Diner Review №103

Quick and fast lunch with decent lunch specials.

Diner Review №104

I have been going to this place over 15 years. Best Thai food in San Antonio. It family owned, in my opinion makes it even better. The food is authentic, the people who I’ve seen since I was a little girl are authentic. You cannot go wrong with this place.

Diner Review №105

Staff was rude, going in, 1st n last time, going there;

Diner Review №106

Very friendly and fast service. Excellent food

Diner Review №107

Dined here for lunch. The food and service was excellent. However, the food is way overpriced, and there was no buffet as was advertised. I would come here more often, but I can’t justify the cost.

Diner Review №108

I've been coming here for lunch for a few years now. The food is always delicious! They are all about quality and quantity. It is a bit pricey. However, you are getting what you pay for. The atmosphere could use some sprucing up, and they close too early for most who get off work a little later. All in all, I really enjoy this place

Diner Review №109

Fantastic under the radar Thai food gem! Worth stopping by and enjoying thia family run restaurant.

Diner Review №110

Ordered the drunkin noodles. Delivered within 10 mins. Food was hot n fresh. The dish was alil dry. Spice was medium heat. Overall it was good just needed more juice. Extra Sauce did come in the bag. Will order again

Diner Review №111

The food here is absolutely amazing 💯 and the staff...very sweet, friendly and welcoming🙏🏽😊 Whenever I need to come to San Antonio for business again, I will definitely be eating here. I came two days in a row and tried different dishes and they did not disappoint 😁😁

Diner Review №112

Food was so good! The cashier who took my order was helpful and friendly. The food was fresh, hot and delicious. I got chicken basil and spring rolls. So good!

Diner Review №113

The servers were friendly and prompt. I was disappointed that the were out of ginger so I had to opt for another dish (recommended by server) I had never had before(chicken and basil). I had been warned by coworker about heat level so I dropped down from my normal Thai hot to hot. The dish wasn't bad, just wasn't what I normally get at other Thai restaurants. The heat level was good, but probably could have gone for Thai hot. Papaya salad was OK, just not my favorite compared to my favorite place. Overall, good place for authentic Thai.

Diner Review №114

Best Thai food in all of San Antonio. Always freshly cooked meals and fast and friendly service. Customer for life.

Diner Review №115

Diner Review №116

Awesome food

Diner Review №117

Everyone here is super friendly and attentive. The beef salad is amazing, and the only entree I’ve tried since I liked it so much, and the portion size is generous. Can’t recommend this place enough, it’s been my favorite spot to eat while working in San Antonio for the summer and I’m gonna miss it!

Diner Review №118

Food was awesome

Diner Review №119

I got a to go order ( one dish) for close to 19 dollars with mostly rice noodles, little meat or seafood. Go to Thai Ocha for their lunch buffet. So good, no msg, has seafood and only 15?something off Aviation in Universal City- you won’t regret.

Great family restaurant. Original Thai food. Can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Drive thru n sit in dining available. Cream cheese egg rolls are fantastic. Give this Thai restaurant a try you will not be disappointed.

Diner Review №125

Diner Review №126

What a hidden gem! Excellent food and excellent service! Will be coming back for more.

Diner Review №127

I ordered unsweet iced tea & the lunch chicken Padd Thai medium spicy. It came with a cup of soup of the day and 1 cheese roll & 1 egg roll. The soup was bland tinted water with slight pieces of overcooked celery. It looked like sink water. The Padd Thai was fairly inedible. Thai food should be sweet, salty, spicy, and sour. There were only 2 overwhelming flavors: a funky fish sauce and the hot 🔥 Chiles. Unfortunately a sign on the door said no refunds for food ordered that is too spicy for your enjoyment. Essentially, eat at your own risk when ordering spicy. I assumed medium would be ok. I was wrong even though I love spicy food. Usually if the other flavors in the dish are delicious, then I will eat passed the spicy burn and enjoy. There wasn't any reward to eating this beyond self-flagellation for my sins.

On the bright side ... The tea and rolls were good.

Diner Review №128

Horrible customer service. Made order incorrectly and when I called to let them know they offered to remake if I brought the plate back Monday, which is in 2 days...with no apologies

Diner Review №129

My daughter and I wanted to try Thai food and saw this place had great reviews. The restaurant is a bit beat up on the outside but don’t let that fool you. We were seated quickly and waited on in no time. Our food came out piping hot and fast too. My daughter is 12 and she enjoyed her lunch, she did not care for the mango dessert because it was served warm. I thought my dish was excellent and enjoyed our lunch together. If you are in the mood for Thai give this place a try.

Diner Review №130

The BEST!!

Diner Review №131

Nice waitress and fast service.

Diner Review №132

I eat here about once a week. The food is delicious and made fresh to order. The staff is always friendly, and I plan to keep returning. Favorite dish is the Pad Woon Sen with chicken medium hot.

Diner Review №133

I love this place. I've had most of the dishes for this establishment by this point and haven't been disappointed by anything yet. Love the tea here, not over brewed like a lot of places. I also enjoy seeing the staff remembering returning customers and how they talk about each other's families, gives a feeling of community even if I don't know these customers.

Diner Review №134

Our favorite place to go for our mini dates woth the hubby! Food is delicious 😋

Diner Review №135

Food is absolutely the best of it's kind in san antonio.

Diner Review №136

Yummy! I go only to the buffet. Delicious flavors.

Diner Review №137

I have been going here since I was 18 years old so for 15 years this place has been my ONLY go to for Pad Thai. No where else even compares and stands up next to Thai Cafe. What’s even more impressive is that they taste the same as they did 15 years ago and hasn’t changed. Always impeccable! Everything on the menu is amazing and you won’t be disappointed, I can promise you that!

Diner Review №138

Diner Review №139

The suki noodles are my favorite! Not super oily, very spicy but well balanced, and generous with meats and vegetables.

The fish cakes are delicious too, and they're made fresh there, with all the crushed up galangal and lemongrass inside.

My spouse and I will drive across town for this place, and always look forward to the delicious food and friendly owners.

We have been here a few times now. The food is consistent. It is good, authentic, they dont add sugar to it like most Asian restaurant and the spice levels are true to what you ask for. The portions are BIG and underpriced compared to other similar places. The wait staff is attentive, friendly and courteous. If you're looking for Thai food give this place a try. You will be glad you did.

Diner Review №144

It was excellent. Loved the Spicy Beef that I ordered. Fish cakes. And also, the dessert. Sweet rice with mango. All good eats.

Diner Review №148

Very fresh and delicious authentic Thai food I've tried a few appetizers fried tofu and Spring rolls all served Hot 🔥 The main Course of Pad Kee Mao and Pineapple fried rice was just bomb hit all the taste buds the spice is customizable too your liking as well but if your on the Northeast side of SA this place is a must try for Thai

Diner Review №149

The Food is always fresh and hot it’s a bit expensive but the portion size can easily feed two or you’ll have left overs. I paid $37 for fried rice, cheese rolls, and fried ribs which was all delicious. The staff was friendly and they even speak English if anyone is concerned about language barriers. If this place doesn’t do it for you then try “thai chill” these two restaurant are like sisters.

Diner Review №150

My stir fried eggplant and chicken was phenomenal! And very generous portion.

Absolutely coming back!!!

Diner Review №155

Literally stopped by RightNow because we needed some good food from a drive through so decided to try Thai cafe. After the first sip of our Thai tea we were sold. Drunken noodles and padthai were on the order, everything was delicious and fresh. Spice levels are not to play with so choose wisely. We'll be back soon!

Diner Review №156

The food is fair. Do not order beef. Hard and difficult to chew.

Diner Review №157

Quite possibly the best plate of all time.

Ok... This is hands down the place for Thai food. I just moved to San Antonio a year ago and this this place. I am determined to try every item on the menu, and so far every single item is just as delicious!. Treat your palate! It will thank you!

Diner Review №161

Outstanding food, fast service, and very nice staff. Best thai place in town! We drive 30 minutes (one way) to get takeout from here every week. The ginger pork and pad thai are excellent. Don't miss this hidden gem!

Diner Review №162

The best garlic chicken anywhere

Diner Review №163

Taste great but without cash... must pay for using credit card. It's ridiculous.

Diner Review №164

Their Thai food is very good but even the mild is still too spicy for me. If you love the heat, this is your spot. I get it to go and have milk on standby. 🥵🥛☺️

Diner Review №165

Excellent Pad Thai and Curry. Highly recommend.

Diner Review №166

It appeared to me that it was slightly miss leading from what I had ordered on the menu and what I received on my table. Also, I ordered a cheese roll appetizer and a spring roll appetizer. They should have been on separate plates for they were two appetizers, they lumped them together on a single plate. Both were from box frozen, and into a microwave, I'm pretty sure they didn't make them fresh. Both appetizers were tinny, certainly not worth $11,90. The flavor(Taste) was OK, dipping sauce very tiny give or take about 3 T- spoons although fair. The service was mediocre at best,, the only time that they were warm and friendly was when I was forking out the doe.

I've been coming to this spot for years and has never let me down. Food is always great and staff is friendly. Prices are reasonable with great portion size. Definitely worth checking out.

This is my new favorite place to eat. Everything was perfect including the friendly service. We loved the familial energy.
The Mango and sticky rice was my favorite. The Thai tea and coffee are delicious. This small Thai restaurant is on par with any high rated restaurant in town.

Diner Review №183

Love this Thai restaurant. I used to come here when they had a small buffet which I love so much . They don't offer the small buffet any longer I still come here due to the food. The food is very authentic Thai and the service is awesome.

The buffet has been discontinued, but the food is still delicious in small batches!

I had the sweet and sour chicken, my daughter had pork pad Thai, and wife had chicken, coconut and lemon grass soup. ALL of the food was delicious after 17 years of eating at Thai Cafe it still is as good as the first time we tried it

Hot meal in 3 minutes from order. And tasted like it. Pretty bland. No spice. No real flavor. Lacked meat for a $4 up charge for combo meat. Rice was cooked right though. And the wait staff was pleasant.
