11 Best Thai Restaurants in Durham

“ThaiAngle in Durham really delivered. The Tom Kha was perfectly spiced and delicious, the Thai Basil Beef cooked just right, and the Red Curry hit all the right notes. The Khao Soi tasted authentic, rich, and balanced — loved that they used dark meat.

Service was on point all night — even though it got busy, we never felt neglected. Definitely plan to go back to try more dishes. We loved our experience here!“

“Hope Cafe is a hidden gem! The interior may be small, but the food packs incredible flavor and authenticity. The service is quick and I love that they have different spices at the table so you can add more heat if needed. I would recommend the Beef Drunken Noodles, Thai Pho, Thai Curry Noodles, Pad Thai and chicken wontons, each one was incredible. Without a doubt, this is the best local Thai spot around, definitely my new go-too!“

“We lived in Thailand for 12 years, since returning stateside just over 2 years ago we have tried several Thai restaurants and have been very let down. The khao soi and som tom were spot on! Amazing, the fried rice was delicious and P Joy even got us some Thai chili's in the lime/fish sauce. Highly recommend Thai Star, everyone was very friendly and kind!“

“The soup came in a special pot that I only saw in Thailand. Everything was very delicious.“

“Picked up drunken noodles for lunch and it was quite tasty. The heat was just as I requested, but the fried tofu was slightly tough and I would have preferred a little more sauce. However, the amount and variety of vegetables was certainly a step above other drunken noodles I have had.“

“We had a fantastic outdoor meal as the weather cooled down this week! Our server was excellent—attentive, friendly and knowledgeable. The beautiful, Thai presentation of our meals matched the fresh and deep flavors. Papaya salad, deep fried Swai with green mango, fried catfish special, garlic chicken, dumplings…delicious! Thanks for the great night!“

“great flavors and presentation,very good“

“Had a wonderful dinner there yesterday. Food was so delicious! The pot stickers with the red curry sauce (my favorite!). Main course was Pad Thai, the best version of this dish I've had in a long time. Everything was very flavorful, but not too spicy. Will be back soon to try more items. Our waiter, Kowit, was excellent too. Thank you!“

“Taste of the food was good, service could work on their manners and the atmosphere was bland, went with 2 friends and a baby so that was called a big group and 18% was added to the bill, I dont mind tipping but a heads up would have been nice“

“Peony had been the go-to spot for a while and the food is great for take out and normally on-point with their service. However, something is wrong with their system because the last few times as it seems to be “losing my online order” meaning I have to wait an extra 20 minutes. Nothing major would just recommend they upgrade their ordering service to minimize these minor, but recently consistent inconveniences. Would recommend calling to place order.“

“Visiting from Kentucky and this place was the first recommendation and totally worth it. The chef had my order ready in a good amount of time and the food was delicious. I got double chicken pad Thai, crispy shrimp boa bun and their chicken karaage 10/10“
