This is my favorite restaurant. This was my go to spot when I lived in the area and was pretty bummed when I moved away. A year later I found myself back in town and the food is still excellent, staff are friendly, and the atmosphere is calm and cozy.

Great Pad Thai, but the dine-in experience needs work

We recently moved our office to a new location near Northwestern Highway, so I’ve been on a mission to find new go-to lunch spots. Café Thai came up when I searched “Thai food near me” and as someone who loves all kinds of food—especially a good chicken Pad Thai, medium spice—I had to give it a shot.

First off, the food itself was excellent. The Pad Thai was packed with flavor, had just the right amount of heat, and came with a generous amount of chicken. Portion size was great too—definitely worth the price.

Now for the not-so-great part: the ordering process feels more like a fast-food spot. You order at the counter, pay immediately, and the card reader asks for a tip before you’ve even tasted the food or received any service. That’s always a little awkward. I also told them I was dining in, but my food came in a to-go container with a flimsy plastic fork and knife. Eating noodles with utensils that bend under pressure is not ideal.

Also, I like to treat myself to a Coke now and then, but whatever was coming out of their soda machine definitely wasn’t Coke. Hopefully they can fix that.

All that said, the food was solid enough that I’ll definitely be back—just next time I’ll order ahead and take it to-go so I can eat it with proper silverware back at the office. Café Thai is a great lunch option if you’re nearby, just be prepared for a more casual, carry-out style experience.

I got the pad Thai noodles with vegetables without egg, because of an allergy. I paid almost $16 for mostly noodles, because there were hardly ANY vegetables. I went to the counter and asked, if they could add some vegetables, but they said that was all that came with it. I wish I took a video to share.

The place was spotlessly cleaned. My only complaint was the music is way too loud to have a conversation. I went to the counter and asked them to turn it down and they changed the song.

Absolutely atrocious customer service. We used to order from here all the time and had pleasant experiences, but for whatever reason, the front counter associate / staff member who took our order today (07/14/2025) was unnecessarily rude from the get-go. From the moment we entered till the moment we left, they had a scowl and treated us with a terrible attitude. Even though we were ordering to-go, my father still left a tip -- despite how we were treated; however, even after seeing that my father left a tip -- which he did not have to do, their demeanor did not change. It does not matter how good the food is, I will definitely not be returning.

This use to be one of my favorite places but now they will not add extra egg even if you pay for it. I got drunken noodles, the chicken was dry and old. Noodles sticking together. Something has changed there and I will not be back.

When I order Tom Yum Soup with shrimp, I expect at least 4 shrimp. Instead, I got 1 shrimp shredded into 4 pieces. That is really not acceptable.

Had Massaman curry with steamed tofu (take out).
Amazing taste would rate 8/10.
Wish the onions used were cut julienne style, just my personal preference nothing wrong.

Great place for take out. They do have few tables for dine in.

Pad thai noodles. Very tough noodles...

The flavor is always amazing! (Not typically accurate with spice level but flavor makes up for it!)
Highly recommend this place!
