I love this place only been here twice but it would definitely return when I'm in the area. The two delicious dishes I had I would definitely get it again. The server at the counters that her name is Jeep she's very very nice. I highly recommend this place.

Great Thai food. They don't skimp out on the spice and flavor to cater to bland taste buds. I recommend this place.

I don't have any photos to share. I bought take out and I ate it in a hurry. I was so hungry. I've never been here before. I loved the meal. I stopped in at about 4:15pm. There was already a large family sitting down to a meal. As I waited for my order, more groups of people came to dine. I guess it was early dinner. The server was very nice and helpful. I ordered a fried taro appetizer, seaweed salad and a green curry shrimp entree. The entree took a while, but it was worth the wait. The shrimps were large or jumbo size. Seasonings were just right. The order came with plenty of vegetables: string beans, green peppers, bamboo shoots and Thai basil. Some local Thai restaurant dishes don't provide enough vegetables. So relieved that wasn't a problem here. I enjoyed the taro even more than I expected to. It was crunchy and potato-like. They did a nice fry job. The seaweed salad was fresh. I enjoyed that, too. The restaurant isn't large, but there seems to be plenty of seating. It's cute and welcoming with a remarkable number of healthy plants despite the fact that there isn't a lot of natural light. The server smiled when I asked about the plants. She explained that the owner loves plants and somehow the plants have managed to thrive despite the low light levels. So my visit also turned out to be a lesson in horticulture. Capital Thai has been around for a number of years. I don't know if the same kitchen staff has been here all along, but based on my experience it deserves a higher overall rating than it's received on Yelp. As some reviewers have mentioned, the fact that it's located a strip mall with plenty of parking is also a plus. It's sandwiched between Albany's first recreational cannabis store and a massage parlor. According to the server, so far that hasn't resulted in much crossover business. Hopefully, it will. This restaurant deserves to be busy.

Bad pad Thai. Tofu had a weird smell. Ok curry. Terrible service though. Waitress was hanging around talking loudly about customers joking with a man who then took a phone call on speaker so loud it was very disruptive. The waitress was also in response. Honestly unsure how this place had good review. I could not recommend this place lower. One my my worst experience dining in Albany.

I ordered $88 worth of food and threw it all out.Among the items that we ordered was pork fried rice, and we received flavorless chicken fried rice. The vegetables consisted of three broccoli and four slices of colorless carrots. This dinner, reminded me of cheap Chinese food that you find at 3 am in NYC. I was dissatisfied, and I disliked writing negative reviews, but it was that bad!

I’m no expert on Thai food, but I always enjoy my meal here and the staff is very nice and friendly. Last time I had shrimp pad thai and salad with a peanut dressing. Everything was delicious.
