Been here multiple times for dine-in and I've never been disappointed. The pad thai and thai iced tea are delicious and the service is great. It's good to call ahead if possible, though, since sometimes you can get a table right away, but other times it's very popular.

The food was delicious and so beautiful! We asked for three different dishes and said we were sharing. They brought serving utensils for our family serving! The portions were large and reasonable. Highly recommend their pineapple fried rice!!!

Ohhh lawwwwd Jesus! Well first of all before I begin I’ll have a moment for you guys to compliment my pictures, thank you. But anyways, for me, before going into a Thai restaurant, it have to pass the picture test, and this place does just that. If it doesn’t look good then i don’t want it. This place have your popular Thai food that no other Thai places usually offer, like the crispy pork with gravy which is also well known in Thailand, of course it does have your pad Thai (like it ain’t a Thai place if there’s no pad Thai gorl!). This is not my first time here, but it keeps me coming back to it, unlike yall exes. The fried rice was gooood, definitely the best around here, it is really giving Thailand yall. Go try it, yall don’t want to miss it!! Slaaay mama!

A go-to takeout spot for us! Great Thai food. Love the Tom Kah soup (hot), pad Thai (hot), and the Panang curry.

While probably dangerously high on the salt/sodium count even beyond the usual expectations, the Cashew Nut here is probably the absolute best I've ever had. Service has been great once and fairly inattentive another time.

There two dishes I've gotten here have been fantastic. The green curry was spiced perfectly and the Ba Mee Ped Krob is the best duck meal I've had for years. (I've only gotten takeout.)

I love good Thai food, which is why I won’t be returning to Cham. Everything was disappointing:
“Thai dumplings” = cold Chinese potstickers from a bag, still cold. Yuck
Thai spice wings” = wings drenched in terribly salty, gloppy hoisin type of sauce. Also tasted like Chinese take out.
“Kow soi” = way too salty, gravy was thick and pasty rather that good kow soi which is like a hearty soup. Also, topped with Chinese take out crispy noodles instead of the proper rice noodles. Came with like a teaspoon of pickle and onion. Not nearly enough. Not hyperbole. I love kow soi and could not eat this.

I’m sad I wasted money on this place.

Excellent food, great lunch prices and attentive staff. I love this place.

Good authentic Thai food in Carrboro-Chapel hills
Always stop by every time visiting in that area stuffs are nice and friendly

Ordered Basil Fried rice and came with 3 basil leaves. If the first word of the dish is Basil, shouldn’t that be highlighted in the dish? Save yourself, walk across the road to Carl Mill Plaza and have your diner at the Thai Station. You won’t regret that. My wife is even more dissatisfied with her meal that I was.

Not Bay Area but lowkey pretty decent. We enjoy coming here. What makes this place really pop is the management. They screwed up an order—happens to all of us from time to time, right?—not only did they make us a new one with apologies (pretty standard right?), they refunded it! Never before have I seen this, have you? I was floored.

Dietary restrictions: They take celiac disease really seriously—you’ll be impressed. Maybe a little too careful… like I thought the wide rice noodles were GF, but owner thought it might have a little wheat and suggested a substitute. Not sure she’s right but always prefer people be overly cautious. We will be back.
