I have been dining at Thai Station since its inception, and consistently, both the cuisine and service have been exceptional. Throughout my experiences, I have encountered no issues whatsoever. For those seeking authentic and delicious cuisine, I wholeheartedly recommend Thai Station.

I waited almost 20 minutes to get my take out order. No one was at the host stand, so I had to eventually yell at a worker across the restaurant for my order. Did they already finish it, but just didn't bring it out? I dont know because there wasn't even anyone I could ask. I don't care that this place is understaffed, they need to figure out a solution, work harder, pay their employees more, or close down. Go to cham thai instead, I've never had issues with take out there

We absolutely love this restaurant. We eat take out from Thai station about once a week, and is a top option for taking visitors due to the incredible atmosphere, delicious and unique menu, and the great service. We have tried their stir fry noodle dishes, almost every curry and fried rice and you cannot go wrong. They also have great options for flavored sake (lychee is our favorite). Parking can get a little dicey, but it is always worth it.

I had a wonderful first-time dining experience at Thai Station during a visit back to my alma mater. Although I had been to the previous establishment at that location, I had never visited Thai Station before. The restaurant is designed to resemble a train station, with each table situated inside a "cabin." I thoroughly enjoyed my Pla scallops and Green Curry, and I look forward to returning for more!

I had a lovely time here with my 2 year old! I was worried how things might go since it looked like a relatively small restaurant, but they were so friendly with her, and she loved looking out the train windows. Also very affordable!Kid-friendliness: Our waitress was so sweet with my 2 year old!

Food was excellent very fresh, great flavors. We ordered shrimp pad Thai and duck noodles soup. The staff very very friendly, they were extremely busy, but that didn't change their attitude. Only 4 stars because of the noise level, but unique setting in a train car.

So cute!! Very romantic and kind of magical. I went for lunch with my bestie and it was so perfect. I suggest being prepared to be patient with the time. Like, dont come during peek hours and expect quick service. I enjoyed the atmosphere, and the waitress was pleasant, attentive, and informative. As a chef, I completely respect when the chef or cook comes out to verify my food allergy. The questions they often ask prove to me how serious they take food safety and the need to accommodate as best they can. I ordered off the lunch menu and my dish was on point, but get appetizers, they are so refreshing and flavorful. I plan on going back and getting something spicy.Vegetarian options: Pleanty of tofu and vegetarian optionsDietary restrictions: Just be upfront with the staff. They took into account my shellfish and dairy allergy with thoroughness.

We used to go here all the time because the food was delicious and prices were low. Recently we went and prices have almost doubled. At lunch time on a Friday there were just a few people in the restaurant.

Least spicy and most bland food. The staff also didn’t do a good job, was annoying us about leaving as soon as the restaurant officially closed.
Nice restaurant to try out which is steps away from chapel hill downtown. Great atmosphere, food was good can be improved. Service was bit slow on the day we dined in loved the shrimp cocktail and must try it.
The food, service, and cleanliness were all excellent. We really enjoyed our lunch here. Atmosphere is nostalgic, dining in old train cars.

Excellent food. Fun venue especially if u enjoy trains. The food is spicy. My wife ordered mild and I chose medium. I had enough sweat on my brow I'll have mild next time.

Beware when dining here, this establishment is located in Carr Mill Mall. This property have a very predatory parking policy, car was towed while having dinner. Which costed $260 cash or $360 ! credit to get the car. Please be careful when dining here or at Carr Mill mall. You will get towed !

When we first moved from Boston to Durham, we lamented the lack of great Thai food. Then we got put on to this spot. Super friendly and accommodating staff, great prices, DELICIOUS food. Worth the drive every time. Now to convince them to open a spot closer to us ?
