It's A Fresh Salad With Mixed Greens, Craisins, Tomatoes, & Cucumbers Served With Grilled Pineapples And Shrimp, Plus A Side Of Their Spicy Green Sauce. The Flavor Combination Is Incredible.

There is nothing better than some yummy Thai soul food delivered to your door on a cold, winter…read moreevening, and that is exactly what we did. My son orders from here all the time at his place of work since it is very close by, but this is the first time I have ever tried it. THE DEETS: This was an online order delivered to my home & sadly, the service took a bit. FOOD: We shared an app of chicken Larb Wrap, which is basically Larb (laab) Gai, which is a spicy minced meat salad from Laos and northeastern Thailand, featuring a mix of ground meat (like chicken, pork, or beef) with fresh mint, cilantro, scallions, in a seasoning of lime juice, fish sauce, and chili. It is bold, fresh, and tangy. Brussel Sprout stir fry with mixed veggies, garlic, and tofu, and asked for it spicy, and it was absolutely delish! Khao Soi, which is a Northern Thai-style curry with chicken, pickled cabbage, and served with egg noodles, not rice. Mango Sticky Rice, which is sliced mangos over sweet sticky rice that has a coconut sauce and is topped with sesame seeds. All of the food, but the dessert, was amazing with incredible flavor profiles and traveled well for delivery. Sadly, the Mango Sticky Rice was very underwhelming and was a sticky pile of tasteless, glued rice. My son thought maybe it was because of being delivered, but I have ordered this dessert from several other establishments for delivery and have never had a problem. NOTES: I would order from them again, and I must say that they wrapped every single food item so securely that I was thoroughly impressed and super appreciative. I will skip the mango sticky rice for sure, and for that reason, and the enormous delivery wait time, I am taking off a star, but everything else was so delish, I am keeping the other four stars. As always, peeps, please support your local small biz! Cheers! 3/1/26

I met a friend for lunch at Thai Cafe on a Saturday. Parking near the restaurant that is part of…read morethe Springfield Mall is frankly a bit challenging. With a little persistence and a short walk, I found a spot. Walking in to the restaurant, there is a small greeting counter. No one was there and so we walked to the back. You don't see the tables when walking into the place, I suspect the kitchen is along side the hallway leading to the tables. The ambiance is friendly, casual with the tables and booths well spaced to provide privacy. The restaurant was relatively empty during our meal and the noise level was comfortable, allowing us to have conversation easily. Thai food is one of my two favorite and I am always looking for a new place to be inspired. I put Thai Cafe on my list of places that I'll return to. I started my meal with Tom Yum Seafood soup. The flavor was really excellent. Two minor things for me: I like soup warm and not hot. For me, the temp was perfect but for other people who like their soup really hot, it probably wasn't hot enough. The other issue is 'how spicy does this restaurant prepare their food?' The soup was 1 pepper, which was a bit milder than I prefer, but accurate. I added a bit more spice. I chose the vegetarian Kapow Pak. The dish is prepared in a brown sauce which frankly isn't my favorite. But it was really good. The veges were fresh, crisp and crunchy, and the tofu was wonderfully lightly fried. The dish is described as medium spicy, reasonably accurate. My friend chose the Pad Woon Sean with chicken. I didn't try it but he said it was a 10/10. The staff were friendly, helpful, and helped me select my dish. This is a family business that's been open for about 30 years. The servers were totally wonderful. I will certainly be back.

My friend who isn't typically a fan of thai tea really liked Mae Ornnit's version, because it wasn't that sweet. We also liked the strawberry smoothie! Some of our food favorites were the moo ping with sticky rice as an appetizer. The pork marinade was really good! The crispy chicken with green curry was also delicious. The chicken had a great crisp, and it wasn't an overwhelming amount of green curry. The volcano tom yum dish using Mama instant noodles was a visually stunning dish. It was also tasty, served with a lot of seafood. The Mama cup was repurposed to hold veggies. I kind of wished there were more seasoning or some sauce with the veggies because they were a bit dry, but we mixed it in with the noodles, so no biggie. We devoured the mango sticky rice, that was about $9. We should've ordered 2 of those to share amongst us 4. The mango was perfectly ripe and delicious!!! Very friendly staff who checked on us often, despite being really busy (on a Tuesday night!!) I'd come back here to enjoy comfort Thai dishes and Isan-style Thai food.

YES!!! A treat given how difficult it is to find. I ordered: -Ban Guan Lao -Pineapple fried rice (comes with shrimp--heavenly) -Kanom Jeeb I drove over and was excited when I got to see that the restaurant was a cute hole in the wall kind of place, not fancy like padaek or thip kao. It was so cozy and comfortable ambiance inside, and I watched a family happily tuck into their food. The service was very kind. When I got home I dug in. Pineapple fried rice is one of my favorites and wow, they do it different in an awesome way here!!! The shrimp comes in a sauce on the side in a cup. It's likely in person it all comes together, but when I mixed it and tried, wow it was so delicious!!! The Ban Guan (rice crepes with ground chicken and mushrooms and onions) was the bomb with its sauce. And the kanom jeeb!!!! Which are steamed dumplings with ground chicken, crab meat, mushrooms and crunchy garlic on top--good lord. Hands down the best I've had. I know the Ban Guan was the only Laos dish I ordered but I will be back again to try more! And I also can't wait to try the curry puffs. This is definitely my new go-to for Thai and Laotian food.

Yindee was comfortable and clean. The server, who might have been the owner or manager, was very reserved, unsmiling and not welcoming at all. He was fine at taking my order and bringing out my food, but he never checked up on me. However, another woman in the restaurant called out a friendly thank you as I was leaving. This is a restaurant with a bar, noting that the bar is well-stocked. Unfortunately, FOX News was on the TV behind the bar. At least the sound was off so I didn't have to hear the lies. I ordered Beef Phad Thai and a Thai Iced Coffee. The Beef Phad Thai was outstanding, really delicious with plenty of beef and just a little scallion. Loved the scrambled egg on top. Probably some of the best Phad Thai I've ever had! The Phad Thai came with a complimentary egg roll that was accompanied by fresh greens with a delightful light ginger dressing. Normally it seems chefs go overboard with ginger, but here's an example of using just the right amount. The Thai Iced Coffee came in a generous portion, but had an odd bitter flavor. The great Phad Thai is what motivates me to come back. If it wasn't for the Phad Thai, this review would have been three stars.

I came here with a friend for lunch on a Thursday. I was relieved to see several patrons already there especially since this location feels more like an unassuming, off the beaten path, dilapidated, truck stop, hole in the wall. I ordered the Pad Thai lunch combo with the side salad and boy was the dressing on the salad sensational. It was sophisticatedly sweet and packed full of umami. I think I could eat that all day. When the Pad Thai arrived, I was also pleasantly surprised with the taste; however, two things struck me as very odd -- the thin noodles and white color! It did not have the familiar reddish look of tamarind which I thought was essential for Pad Thai. Regardless, it was delicious and I ate everything. Not a single morsel of food was left. If i weren't eating with polite company, I would have probably slurped the remaining dressing from the salad bowl. I'm definitely coming back and it shouldn't be difficult because the prices seem fairly inexpensive.

It was the best decision I've made all month. There is something about a woman-owned gem that just hits the spot--the attention to detail, the welcoming energy, and of course, the incredible food. The moment you walk in, the aesthetic sets the mood. The teal wood-paneled walls paired with those gorgeous woven basket pendant lights draped in cherry blossoms? Absolute magic. It's chic, cozy, and felt like a little escape. I went all out on the menu and wasn't disappointed: * Chive Dumplings: These were the star of the show. Perfectly crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and served with a savory dipping sauce that I could have finished with a spoon. * Vegetable Soup: Light, clear, and packed with fresh, vibrant veggies. It was the perfect "reset" bowl. * Crab Fried Rice: They did not skimp on the crab! It was fresh, fluffy, and paired perfectly with a cold, crisp Singha beer. Whether you're celebrating a holiday or just need to romanticize your life with some top-tier Thai food, this is the place. The service was lovely, the Mother's Day special menu was a thoughtful touch, and the atmosphere is 10/10. Chef's kiss. I'll definitely be back!

Mango cashew slaw ($11) has a nice spicy warmth to it. The Chinese chive dumplings (2, $6) had a nice crunch. We also got a beer ($9). A nice canned and bottled beer selection.
