Chicken pad Thai: super flavorful & I really loved the ratio or noodles vs chicken. Usually I find places to have very limited protein within the dish, however, Thai Ghang Waan was not one of those places. Beef drunken noodles: just like the pad Thai portion to protein ratio was amazing. This is actually spicy with amazing flavor. Papaya salad: not overpowering in fish sauce or sugar this dish was a perfect balance of both. Super crunchy & flavorful - all around Amazing app Definitely recommend for those that are looking for great Thai food with good portions and reasonable pricing.

This used to be a dive with great thai food but after its renovation, it's now a nice thai…read morerestaurant with great thai food! They have a special pad thai that has slight difference and served with two large prawns. Highly recommended. They serve standard thai dishes such as panang curry and drunken noodles.

It's a little spicy but it's perfect for me. You can ask them to adjust the heat level. The chicken curry is served with steamed broccoli and plenty of white rice. The curry is amazing! Service & Ambiance: The staff is super friendly and welcoming. They greet you when you walk in and always smile and say goodbye when you leave. The restaurant is bright and full of color. In the spring and fall months when it's nice out, they'll open their large windows for a wonderful indoor/outdoor feel. It's lovely.

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.

Have eaten here several times now so I am more than confident in my review!…read more I have picked up once so I was able to see the fun decor of the place and the other times were all delivery so I have not properly sat down for a dinner. FOOD We have ordered a wide range of apps, soup, noodles, curry, and veggie dishes as well as mango sticky rice. The flavors were all on point & delish and you can adjust your spice level, which I like because I am all about the Thai spicy! The only thing I would not suggest is getting the mango sticky rice to go because it ends ups mush, stuck together like its name, lol, but it's just not good like that. Great vibe, fun spot, yummy food! As always peeps, support your local small biz! Cheers!

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.

My husband's was ok. He said there wasn't much pork but the serving was ok. He noticed the egg was dry. I never saw it on top in a blob before. It wasn't bad but wouldn't say good.

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!
