Great Thai restaurant, tried for first time. Food was great, staff was very friendly and helpful. Definitely will make this a regular stop. They had a huge take out while we were dining in. Give them a try. read more

When you hear Clemson your first thought is Asian cuisine... obviously. With that being said, there's over ONE restaurants in the area that have great pad Thai. This is that one. Spice levels are great but can be inconsistent. I order medium and sometimes they know that I actually wanted super spicy! Overall, this establishment is good value and pretty delicious. read more

Oh my gosh! The food here is amazing. As good as any big city Thai restaurant. Maybe even better. We had seaweed salad, chicken pad Thai and beef pepper steak. To die for. Don't miss a chance to eat here. read more

Their Thai food is mediocre at best. My partner and I tried two different fried rice dishes and the rice was a bit too 'mushy'. They also lacked flavor. Thankfully the pineapple fried rice has curry flavor so that was a bit better than the mango, but neither were great. I don't see ya coming back again and am a little disappointed it wasn't more delicious or authentic. read more

I was really excited to try their curry, I had a bug in my food, asked if they could take maybe 5-10 dollars off the bill if not replace my food and they refused, my date found a hair in their food as well. Personally I wouldn't recommend them. read more

The food is amazing, the basil noodles, the pad Thai, the mango rice. I could go on!! I love how they serve their jasmine tea in a teapot and the tea is always so fresh and hot! This is hands down my favorite food spot in Clemson/Central. On top of this, service is spectacular and I always feel so welcome when I come in. I highly recommend this restaurant to everyone within driving distance of it read more

Had a pleasant experience here! It involved a little searching, but it's part of a shopping center with its own parking, (and not too far of a walk from the main downtown/campus area). The host worked double duty as a server, and was very nice. I started with Thai iced tea which was okay & the crab rangoon, which were maybe a little too greasy. For my meal, I was happy they were able to give me the vegetarian Massaman Curry, with no tofu, just veggies. It was good, though sweeter than I've had in other places, and only had about two thin slices of avocado (although it's listed as one of the 4 or 5 ingredients). read more

Bake and Cook Thai Restaurant - Thai Iced Tea - Thai Near Me - Central, South Carolina

Very good Thai food. There isn't anything I have ordered that wasn't good. Everything is delicious.

Food was really good, but we LITERALLY waited 40 minutes for our to-go order!!! Unacceptable. Won't be back.

We met some friends for dinner and tried Bake & Cook. It was a good choice. I usually like Chinese but our group decided on Thai. I had fried rice with shrimp. The waitress was very helpful with our selections and we were not hurried so we were able to visit and enjoy a good conversation until I food was ready . The spices in my food were a little different than I'm accustomed to but I really enjoyed the meal. read more

Ordered takeout online. They had a question about the order and were really good about calling me. Had the pad see ew which had lots of veggie and was properly spicy for a very spicy order. Noodles were a little loose. Also got the Thai iced tea, it had a bit too much acrid spice to it (maybe too much mace?) but it still tasted quite good. Only issue was that they didn't put chopsticks or a fork in so I had to go over to a walgreens to buy utensils. It wasn't obvious until I got back so the food got a little cold. read more

Spicy catfish is to die for. The curries are flavorful and as hot as you want them. The fresh summer rolls are crunchy and delicious, but it is the amazing plum sauce that sets them apart. read more

Don't let the underwhelming location of this restaurant deter you. Green curry is amazing. Tofu pad thai is a favorite (definitely better when eaten in rather than take out). I am a huge thai fan and this place ranks extremely high on my list. read more

Stop in to this wonderful place from our way home....Food was fresh and delicious. The service is genuinly humble.

I have picked up from here twice now during COVID. Very good food. Super nice staff and beautiful new restaurant. I will be frequenting this place more now with their takeout option. read more

The food here is great! Very fresh and authentic. The only downside to our experience here was they seemed to be understaffed - it took about 10 minutes before we got our drinks and awhile for refills. It appeared to be only one server for the whole restaurant, so he couldn't help it. But if you don't mind waiting and love Thai food - this is a great pick! I recommend the red curry with chicken read more

Unbelievably slow. Kitchen caters mostly towards online and takeout orders leaving in- house patrons wait for over 45 min. One waitress taking orders and dispatching takeout and phone calls at once. No refills on drinks. Food came out after a 45 min wait. Lukewarm curry, cold rice, very small portions. Overpriced. Do not recommend. read more

This place is a great find! All 6 of us enjoyed our appetizers and entrees. We dined in and sat near the door (bring a sweater); saw many take out orders being picked up. The server was efficient and very pleasant. Would've been better if all the appetizers had arrived at the table at the same time, otherwise all good! It's BYOB. read more

I had clients that ate here before I did. They loved it. My daughter and I got take out. I had the Masaman chicken and it was excellent. I like to order that dish, to determine how good a Thai restaurant is.. It won out as the best around. read more

Quite a few Thai restaurants have come and gone in Clemson recently. Noticed Bake & Cook by accident a few weeks ago, and finally tried it today. We had Massaman Curry and Pad Woon Sen, both with Chicken, both "medium" spicy. These were part of the lunch special menu, and included a small salad with peanut dressing. Very good! Please patronize this restaurant, so we have decent Thai in Clemson! read more

For a Thai place in upstate South Carolina this place has great food. Like others said not great atmosphere, but clean and simple. Very fresh vegetables, chicken was great and sauces were incredible. The dumplings were a good starter too. read more

Excellent food. Very good service both eat in and take out. Friendly staff and willing to explain the different dishes

Pad see ew was great! Good amount of food. Also got spring rolls and crispy rolls which were only average. A lot of veggies and flavor wasn't the best. read more

This is a Thai restaurant that serves other Asian food as well. I had the miso soup, edamame, house salad, and crab fried rice. Everything I had was tasty, but not out of extraordinary. The restaurant is clean, as were the restrooms; and the service was very polite. read more

The food here is excellent. The service was friendly and prompt. I ordered the "Basil seafood" which consisted of mussels, shrimp, scallops and a variety of onion and bell peppers. The flavor was terrific and offered enough spice to wake up the mouth. My wife ordered a chicken dish and was equally pleased with her entre. On top of great flavor and service, the portions were generous and the prices extremely fair. We will definitely be coming here again. read more

Easily Clemson's best Thai restaurant from the original owner of Thai Spice (when it was actually good). The curries are thick and creamy rather than watery as served by the area's other Thai places. The grilled salmon in panang is among the best of the specialty dishes; make it even better by substituting red curry for panang. The chicken satay, something I usually don't enjoy because it is dry, is cooked so well that it is quite delicious, as is the peanut sauce (the best I have had in SC). read more

Our first decent thai food in South Carolina! Stoked to have the red curry and cashew nut chicken. Also a great lunch special.

I have not left many reviews and have never left a bad one . I had to take a moment to review this place bc we ordered there today only based on good reviews. We ordered online . I arrived at the restaurant and a young girl, a child, was about to clean off a table and asked me if I had a pick up order. I followed her to the register and she told me they accepted only cash. I was not aware of this beforehand and asked her where was the closest ATM. She didn't know of course, she was a child. I asked her how much my bill was but she wanted to print out my ticket for me instead. As i waited , I noticed my shoes were sticking to the floor and i noticed 3 cans of " OFF" bug spray on the table where the sauces, drinks, and silverware were located. There was only one occupied table with one couple in it , so it was not busy, I left with my $57 bill ( which was a great price). And the closest ATM was actually right next door , 4 parking spaces down . I pulled out from restaurant and right back in to the ATM. Pd $7.50 in banking fees to get cash. Walked back over to restaurant., The little girl had my order ready on a table and was not able to give me back adequate change for $57 given $60. I normally would have given plenty extra on top of keeping the change , but I was also charged a " online fee" of $1.50 on top of the $7.50 in bank fees for having to get cash out . Which still would have been fine. But after getting back with the food , it was not great, I ordered the dish with the basil sauce and beef. It was ok. The Pad Thai with beef was dry with very little beef in it at all and half the ingredients that makes it " pad Thai" was on the side and not in any sauce. Our appetizers were very overcooked , dry. But even still, I can usually add to things if needed after I get home so it might be ok on another day from this place. However. I was sure to put in on my order that I was allergic to curry. Nothing in our order had curry, ..but I know to always put this so the same spoon will not be used when in a hurry cooking several things at one time for different people. I will not even order Thai if someone else wants anything containing curry. As I write this review, my tongue and throat are thick and swollen . Not to a severe degree, but enough to know what this allergy feels like and have taken 3 Benadryl to keep it calm vs my epipen. I do understand covid has changed so many things. But these things are not ok to look over. Many have peanut allergies the same as mine to curry. It can be bad. I know to always take one small bite of anything and wait. Anyway, I am sure these are nice people , but the young child working and bug spray on the table with the condiments and not paying attention to allergies and the fees and cash only is enough for me to not return. read more

Nice Food... I am not into interior because to me food taste imp... and they are up to the mark even thought instead of 4 roll they gave us 6 roll.. its not like it was free it was like they are good at their service... great THAI food... i have been thailand several times and found the taste similarity here.. read more

Despite the strange name (not a bakery), the food was quite good. Had the hot and spicy soup with chicken which was a good way to warm up considering the heat was out in the restaurant. The owner was very personable and anxious to please. Dinner was tofu cashew stir fry with brown rice - bit too soupy for me and the few cashews were soggy. I hope they keep developing their reputation since the owner is so nice, but I had to deduct a star for the soggy dish, cold restaurant, and weird name. read more

I love eating here! I always get Pad Thai and my boyfriend loves the Massaman Curry. We have been eating at Bake and Cook for just over a year now & it only gets better each time. 10/10 recommend read more

Great Thai food right here, with fast service as well. Most entrees are 10-13 with specialties ranging a bit higher. Spice options with almost every dish are mild-medium-hot-"Thai hot". got the chicken tom kha soup and the spicy basil noodles (both hot level- and certainly hot enough). Also they have this homemade crushed red pepper that i was assured "was not the stuff from papa johns", which I tried a tiny bit of, and my eyes instantly watered like I was watching the end of Forrest Gump again. Wonderful people run the joint, and the service and excellent food with great sauces truly made me feel warm, content, and ready for a food coma. Will eat here again without a doubt and will get something "Thai hot" next time Ive got clogged sinuses :) read more

This is a little casual place in a strip mall. No alcohol but if you bring your own they provide wine glasses. The service was excellent, as was the food. Would definitely recommend. read more

I love thai food and was so excited to try this place as thai comes and goes so much in Clemson. We got pad Thai tofu and Massaman curry with shrimp. It was pretty standard thai food. Shrimp was overcooked, tofu was not great. We got it to go as the interior was stark. Would go back though, because I like Thai and this is the only option in the area at this point. read more

Hunting for something decent, decently priced and open on Easter, we lucked out and stumbled across Bake & Cook Thai. For the quality of food, variety and cleanliness, I give it 5 stars. The value is also good for the servings and quality. The decor is nil but it was irrelevant once the food came. Entrees like Pad Thai were mostly $9.95; Massaman Curry was 11.95. read more

Be aware that Bake & Cook has separate lunch and dinner hours (closed from 3:00-5:00 pm). This popular restaurant, formerly in Clemson, had to move as did eight other businesses due to a 400 bed student apartment complex project. Clemson's loss is now Central, SC gain (5 miles away). Admittedly we found this restaurant by mistake, but are we glad we did not go to our intended destination. Bottom line, ~ everything prepared is FRESH and AUTHENTIC. Reasonably priced lunch items with many (many, many) upscale options if your want to go that gastronomic direction. Smack dab in the middle of quaint little Central, SC and that may be best for this comfortable unique setting. Remember, they just reopened at the beginning of February 2020, but I'm impressed that they have put their operation back on a solid footing so quickly. Anyone play the piano? There is a beautiful old Chickering upright sitting quietly waiting for someone to use this solid instrument of bygone years (kinda in tune also). read more

The food is great. The lunch special is amazing. I wish they made their food spicier, but that's a very minor complaint. I would definitely recommend. read more

My plate and my lunch partner's plate had multiple hairs on them. Probably a beard. Sat everyone so close to each other that if we said something, everyone would have heard. I didn't say anything onsite as not to disturb other patrons. I decided I would call manager or owner later. I've called several times and left messages and have not had a return call. So disappointing. read more
