It took me almost 6 years to try out this place after moving to Cedar Falls, and I'm regretting not going there any sooner.Fantastic service - it is the combination of table service and self-service. The staff is very warm and friendly.Food - omg it is one of the best Thai foods I have ever had. It's perfectly spicy, very flavorful, and descent quantity for the money. I'll definitely be back to try out more items.Vegetarian options: Meat is an added topping option in almost everything. So, quite a lot of vegetarian options.Parking: Free street parking available around the restaurant.

Listen, no one better say anything negative about this place ever. These people are angels sent from above, that serve delicious food. It is hands down some of the best Thai food I've ever had and it's the best restaurant in the area. A lot of small restaurants didn't survive the Rona and I'm so happy they are still in business. If they weren't, I would have moved away from the area a long time ago. Thank you for serving up some of the best food I've ever had!!

I’ve probably ordered from here 100 times. It’s my families favorite place to eat. This is literally the best food I’ve ever had in my life. I’m not kidding you. I’ve tried everything and each and every time it’s delicious. If you’re a tofu skeptic, try anything on the menu with tofu. It’s like nothing I’ve had before. It’s halal, too! Customer service is always 10/10.

Exceptional Dining Experience with a Delightful Chef at Ginger ThaiRating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5/5)I recently had the pleasure of dining at Ginger Thai, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience that left a lasting impression. The standout feature of this delightful restaurant was the friendly African American chef, whose presence added an extra layer of warmth and charm to the overall dining experience.From the moment I entered, I was greeted with a genuine smile and a warm welcome from the chef. His polite demeanor and infectious energy immediately set the tone for a memorable evening. Not only did he possess remarkable culinary skills, but he also had an incredible ability to make people laugh and create a positive ambiance in the restaurant.The food prepared by the chef was nothing short of outstanding. I had the pleasure of trying the Pad Panang and Pad Thai, both of which were exquisite. The flavors were well-balanced, and each dish was prepared with meticulous attention to detail. The Pad Panang had a rich and creamy sauce that perfectly complemented the tender chicken, while the Pad Thai showcased a delightful medley of flavors that tantalized the taste buds.It has been about a month since my last visit to Ginger Thai, and I find myself eagerly looking forward to returning solely because of the chef's presence. His exceptional cooking skills aside, it was his infectious laughter, good energy, and genuine hospitality that made the dining experience truly remarkable. The positive atmosphere he created was contagious and added an extra layer of enjoyment to the evening.In addition to the incredible chef, the overall service at Ginger Thai was excellent. The staff members were attentive, knowledgeable, and always ready to assist with any requests or questions. The restaurant itself had a cozy and inviting ambiance, providing the perfect backdrop for a memorable dining experience.In conclusion, I highly recommend Ginger Thai to anyone seeking a delightful culinary journey. The friendly younger looking chef, with his amazing culinary skills (despite not looking Thai), humor, and positive energy, made my visit truly memorable. Whether you're a fan of Pad Panang, Pad Thai, or other Thai delicacies, Ginger Thai is sure to leave you craving for more. I eagerly anticipate my next visit to once again savor the delightful dishes and enjoy the fantastic atmosphere that the chef brings to this exceptional establishment.

Such good food! The crab rangoons and pad panang are my fave. It’s a very small establishment, so order online earlier than later on busy nights as they can only take so many orders. But it is so worth it!
I usually get the pad Thai, which is pretty good. My wife got the curry, which was a bit spicier than originally expected. We get the food to carry out and eat down at the amphitheatre.

So they said they closed at 8pm. We got there 7:38. They had door locked. The girl came to door and said the kitchens closes at 7:30. I think that if you post your hours you should stick to them. I am not from the area. I am traveling and I go by what your page says and door.

Great Thai. “ IF there Ever Open” So I’ve eaten here twice in 1 year, tried 5 other times, but hours of operation not correctly reflected on 2 of 3 sites. It would be helpful if the had an answering machine with hours of operation.

Fresh spring roll and the sauce it came with was soooo good and fresh. Tom Kha soup was also super good just wish it came with a side of rice.
Eric Thiele
Good food that's reasonably priced. Tiny establishment that only has 10 seats (tightly squeezed). Staff was friendly. Only downside (other than the size of the establishment) is the lack of hours open.. have tried a few times to eat here before when advertised open to be closed.
