The food and service were great. The ambience was very classy and romantic and allowed space for conversation, no matter if you are indoors or in the garden in the back. I enjoyed my sautee, and my girlfriend enjoyed her curry. We both liked the calamari with it's Thai chili dipping sauce. read more

Came in for a solo dinner date after being in the area. Ordered myself a cold sake, I like that they had a larger and smaller size. Obviously I went with the larger size haha. For dinner I ordered Vegetable Pad Thai. It was good, lots of green vegetables and a good handful of peanuts. wasn't the best Pad Thai I've had but I thought it was very good. I decided on a whim to order dessert and went with a green tea ice cream. Sadly, even though it is in the middle of winter, the ice cream came out melted so I would skip that next time. read more

My friend and I came to dine around 3:30 p.m. We were greeted warmly by Ms Jet. We ordered Fried Calamari which is a must. Calamari fried perfect with Thai chili sauce. Papaya salad just enough to brak a sweat. Well made. Fried rice with shrimp with salmon added. Well seasoned and cooked and packed a lot of flavor and just enough. Basil chicken over rice topped with a Fried egg. Made perfectly and flavored perfectly. Service and food was and is always ON POINT. read more

The ambiance of the restaurant was warm and comfortable. The people working there were attentive and friendly. Unfortunately, that is all the positive things we have for our visit. Our order consisted of: 1) the 4 Course Prix Fixe, which included: -house salad (a few pieces of lettuce, shredded carrot, half a slice of tomato, one piece cucumber with peanut dressing), -mix appetizer (one spring roll, one shuimai, and two money bag), -entree: I selected the mock duck druken noodle, -dessert: Go banana 2) sautéed salmon with garlic sauce. Both entrees were an epic fail! Druken noodle is all about the "wok hay" and spiciness, which was nonexistent. The flat rice noodles were far from fresh and tasted like it stayed beyond its time. The mocked duck (wheat gluten) was bland and lacked flavor. The sautéed salmon with the lacklustered garlic sauce was just a waste because it was over cooked and dry. The dish came out luke warm at best and each bite was forceful because I didn't want to waste food. I gave it a three star because of the attentiveness and friendliness of the staff. Food gets a one star. read more

The afternoon tea is out of this world! Can't recommend enough! As long as you don't have allergies, they bring over an assortment of treats and explain each one. The flavors are outrageous, a little bit salty, a little bit sweet. The egg tart and scallion pancakes were our favorites, as well as the pumpkin Thai tea! We're definitely coming back for this! read more

Went for an afternoon tea. Sunday, a little after 1300. A long wait to get food after you are seated - at least 40 min. No interim check ins. Asked for the check upon receiving my food due to long wait which made me anticipate long wait to pay. No checks were brought for a while even AFTER the platter was finished and after the table was half cleared. As for the food, the iced Thai tea is very sweet. The afternoon tea experience is more of trying different mini appetizers/mini dessert than trying out tea. Can't say the food is complements the tea or vice versa. The food itself is overall fair, some better than others likely influenced by personal taste. Some savory, some sweet. The best part was the aesthetics of the platter. Go at your own risks. read more

Came in for dinner this evening and completely fell in love with this place. The ambience was very casual, elegant and extremely tasty dishes. For appetizers we got Thai wings as well as pot stickers which were pretty tasty and for meals green curry which was really good and a bit on the spicy side and Thai short ribs which literally melted in your mouth. Thai iced tea was delicious and def coming back read more

I was surprised how delicious the foods were! I liked the food here more than Joya's. We ordered to share: 1) Thai ice tea, 2) Calamari, 3) Drunken noodles w/ shrimp, 4) Fried snapper w/ side of tamarind sipping sauce. The thai ice tea was good, on the sweet side. The calamari was nicely seasoned and tasty, not oily. I highly recommend their drunken noodles w/ shrimp. WOW! I was surprised how delicious it was. I haven't eaten a good drunken noodle for a while. It was well seasoned, savory, and the shrimp was cooked the right way (it was al dente, not soggy). The fried snapper was well seasoned and crispy. We didn't like the tamarind sauce, but they were nice to give us another sweet chili sauce which we preferred more. Staff was very friendly and attentive. Great decor, clean bathroom & space was very spacious. read more

Quaint place with backyard seating, although my friends and I sat indoors since it got chilly at night. Food was sizable and filling, but depending on which dish you order it could be amazing or a bit too sweet for the palate. I ordered seafood Tom yum noodle soup and it was more on the sweet side than sour, so threw me off a bit but still good. My friend who ordered chicken pad Thai also said the dish was a bit on the sweet side, but still enjoyed it nonetheless. The service was amazing, the waitress came by often to refill our waters and very friendly. read more

We came to Cafe Chili for dinner and had such a great experience from start to finish! We ordered the coconut shrimp and the corn fritters for our starters. Both were really flavorful but the corn fritters were my favorite. I could eat two orders by myself. For our entrées, we had the pork chop and the green curry with the crispy duck. Both portions were really generous. We both took our leftovers with us. Even though you'll be stuffed, don't skip out on dessert. It was my husband's favorite course and we cleaned both plates! read more

I came here with my colleague on a Wednesday afternoon for lunch. There was only 1 other table eating inside. There was only one server, possibly the owner. She was attentive enough during our entire lunch. Food, we ordered 2 appetizers, 2 entrees and 2 cocktails. Appetizers we ordered the calamari and puff pockets. Neither was that special, the calamari could've been crisper. Entrees we ordered the drunken noodles and one of their lunch boxes. Drunken noodles had some char, meaning they had enough "wok hei". Cocktails we ordered the Thai Colada and the flamingo paradise. Both drinks had very low alcohol content. Overall, it was an okay experience but I have definitely had better thai food elsewhere. read more

As someone who loves Thai food, I really don't get the poor reviews for this place. Yes there are better Thai spots but the prices here are reasonable and the service is nice. They have a nice lunch special consisting of a choice of soups or a salad along with a main dish. Their tom yum (which for some reason is listed as chicken lemongrass soup) from said lunch special is quite good with some pieces of meaty chicken and some mushrooms. My preference for their main dish on the lunch special is the workingman's noodles. For an entrée, I've gotten the same as well as the road duck panang which was tasty. I prefer the spot heavily over Lemongrass nearby though I think this is because the service at the other spot feels very surly and I found the noodles better here. read more

Recently moved to Carroll Gardens and when we saw a Thai place so close by, we had to try it! We've tried a handful a Thai restaurants in Brooklyn and Manhattan but haven't found one we really enjoyed... until now!! This place is DELICIOUS with fair pricing, lunch specials and coupons/deals (on yelp and in the mail). They have outdoor seating that's fairly distanced in the front of their store on the side walk, or a gorgeous and spacious outdoor backyard that makes you forget you're in NYC. We ordered: Red Curry with Veggies Drunken Noodles with Tofu Pad Thai with Chicken All three meals were really flavorful and saucy in such different ways. I would get any of these dishes again but would also love to try other meals there. Their tofu was delicious! And the chicken was decent, not as dry as other thai places. Yummy place, can't wait to try more from them! read more

Thai cuisine is my favorite food ever, so I can't say I've truly had a bad experience because I understand it's prepared in various manners. Even the one time in Thailand I got food poisoning, I couldn't complain because the street food was damn delicious and worth the sickness. However, Cafe Chili doesn't quite reach subpar and was a poor dining experience. Located in busy Court street, other restaurants were bustling and this one was deserted, so we wanted to support them and give them business. By the end of the meal, it made sense why it was haunted. I do want to say that the restaurant itself is really cute and has a nice backyard. The staff was extremely nice, which is why it's sad the food was upsetting. The Chef's Specialty volcano chicken is literally chicken nuggets on top of a bed of yellow lettuce. It's like something I would get in McDonald's, except McDonald's would've cost 10% of the price and frankly, it was insulting to be served this as a "special" dinner entree. My friend had pad Thai with chicken, which has 6 pieces of chicken and is a classic Thai dish that's hard to ruin. The waitress was friendly, but didn't refill water once, even though at 8PM we were the only people dining there. The whole thing was odd and disappointing. Dinner came out to $60 for 2 entrees and an appetizer, and I went home hungry because I would've vomited if I finished the rest of my chicken nugget dinner. read more

I recently came to Cafe Chili for a private holiday dinner. The staff here are absolutely phenomenal! They were extremely accommodating of our group of 40+ people, which is not easy to manage for a group of hungry folks. Cafe Chili is small and intimate. Perfect for a date night or small private gathering. We were given plenty of food items to choose from the buffet. Some of my favorites were the shrimp pad Thai and spring rolls. Overall this place is just great. Will definitely have to stop by again while I'm in the area! read more

We tried the pad Thai, the pad se ew, the afternoon tea (picked Choco lava cake, macaroons, coconut tapioca pudding with corn, fig bar, eclair, chive pancakes, red bean egg tart, forgot my last pick, Thai tea) and vegan glass noodle soup, and all were delicious. The people are so kind and friendly :) read more

Host: Beers are $3 all day. Me: Then we'll be here all day! Honestly, they roped me in with that deal on their sandwich board outside. This place has been around forever, but I've somehow never been or ordered from them. This area just has SO many Thai options. Well, add Cafe Chili to the good list! Was here in the afternoon, so was able to take advantage of the lunch specials. You can get a soup or salad, and a noodle or rice dish for anywhere from $8.95 to $12.95 (depending on your protein). What a deal! I got the chicken lemongrass soup (delicious and fully loaded) with the Workingman's Noodles (stir fried with bok choy, egg, and I chose chicken). Also piping hot and delicious. I had to explain the concept of wok hay to my Caucasian friend (for reference: https://guide.michelin.com/en/article/dining-out/what-is-wok-hei) and I can tell you, they produce it in spades. Of course, we had a couple of rounds of $3 Singha's (best deal in town!) and just killed some time on a lazy afternoon. By the time we were done, we were the only ones left. Staff is ultra friendly. Inside is nice and air conditioned. They also have a really nice backyard. And they're taking safety precautions very seriously! They take your temperature and information down for contact tracing. read more

Absolutely loved this place! It has such a great lunch special that includes an entree and appetizer for less than 10 dollars! The flavors are authentic and the portion is decent. One more plus is that they do very good and thorough covid checks so that gave me more comforts when dining indoor. Also, one big spoiler is that it always have surging cash back from Seated and even for a lunch deal, I am able to get like 20-40% cash back depending on the day! Such a great steal with a great taste! Of course, the location is very convenient and accessible and staffs are really friendly and nice as well! Would come back again and again and again! read more

I've come here more times than I can count with one hand. The food is always good, the service is quick and even if straightforward it's up my alley. You're given attention but it's all very much self driven. Ambiance is nice! It's small a little bright but great lunch spot. read more

I've eaten at cafe chili several times and the food has always been delicious, the service great and overall ambiance very chill.

Never thought I'd try Thai high tea, but this was a great introduction to it. All the dishes were so thoughtfully combined; they had thai elements mixed with english high tea. The ambience was also super cute for a sunday brunch with friends, and the staff were all so friendly (and advised us on how to best take advantage of deals). Would highly recommend!! read more

Stopped by for a small snack, got the calamari and the #O2 option: All Flavor Thai Snack, which is a Thai snack I'm found of but don't usually find at Thai restaurant. I was pleasantly surprised! Both absolutely delicious and very well priced. Definitely coming back to try their full meals! read more

Great local spot for delicious Thai food and a nice atmosphere I highly recommend it!

You can't tell from the outside but they've got a cute little garden in the back that is nice and open. Came to eat here on a Friday night and ordered the Drunken Noodle with mock duck and a Thai Iced Tea. Both were delicious. The mock duck was tender and flavorful, the noodles were perfectly chewy. I forgot to ask them to omit fish sauce so I think it's possible there might have been fish sauce in my dish (I try to avoid it as a vegetarian). My fiance ordered the basil chicken fried rice but said my noodles tasted way better (yay!) Service is a little slow but I didn't mind it. They have a vegan menu too. read more

Relaxing ambience, great service and good food. Tried their afternoon tea which was a unique experience.

Do not expect spicy food from menu. I ordered the duck salad which had very over cooked pieces of duck, smothered in a sweet sauce that came from a can. I could not eat it. My guest ordered spicy fried rice. This also a failure as there was no spice. The drinks were devoid of alcohol. I ordered a lychee martini that was plenty of juice and a canned piece of fruit. Not even fresh lychee. Very disappointed read more

Great flavors in a warm and inviting setting. The lunch specials were a great deal for a lot of choices. I had the lunch box special that came with a Sales's, ginger chicken, egg roll, dumpling, fried wonton, and rice. Everything was delicious. Knocked one star because the food took a little too long. read more
