We have some back a few times now and I have to speak to the reliability of the quality of the food and service- both excellent! We have added a few favorites to the list: the Khoa Soi soup... my god. I would come back alone for this! Soooo delicious. Rich, complex flavors and textures, creamy coconut... it's a dream!! Reminds me of one I had in Maine that I've been chasing in Denver ever since. We also really enjoyed the panang with chicken (you can sub the protein). We ordered the pad see mao (chicken) and it was also absolutely delicious! Coconut shrimp was also delicious. Satay still remains a favorite! read more

Daughter Thai Kitchen & Bar - Thai Near Me - Denver, Colorado

First off, the food was really good. Unfortunately, the service was terrible. We were the only people in the restaurant, yet our server repeatedly forgot basic things like drinks, chopsticks, and hot peppers. We had to remind her multiple times throughout the meal. To top it off, there was a 5% "kitchen appreciation fee" added to the bill. Sorry, but paying your employees should not be the customer's responsibility through surprise fees. It's a shame because the food was genuinely very good. But great food can only carry a place so far when the service is this poor. Another one bites the dust. read more

It's really disappointing to see how much this place has declined over time. Saturday nights used to be packed and lively, but now there were only a few tables occupied, which unfortunately reflects the overall experience we had. We ordered one of the restaurant's signature and more expensive dishes, the Thaiger Smile, which has always been a favorite of ours. In the past, the beef was tender and flavorful, but this time it was extremely dry and overcooked, almost like beef jerky. The papaya salad was also overwhelmingly salty. Overall, the food quality was far below what we had come to expect. The service itself was good, although not quite at the level you would expect from a restaurant positioning itself as "high-end." What was also surprising was the additional 5% kitchen fee added to the bill, on top of the suggested 18-25% tip prompts during checkout. Supporting kitchen staff is important, but that responsibility should ultimately fall on ownership rather than being passed directly to customers through multiple added charges. Overall, the experience was very disappointing, and unfortunately we don't see ourselves returning. It also appeared there was no manager present on the floor during service, which only added to the feeling that standards have slipped considerably. read more

I have visited Daughter Thai a few times when I am in the neighborhood and the group I am with are all feeling like getting some of that unique Thai spicy. There has been a recent boom in Thai restaurants all over Denver and I am here for it! The restaurant does a really good job of cultivating a spot ideal to grab some Thai food while also having a business lunch. It is clear that the wait staff was trained to handle those kinds of customers very well. It is also just loud enough in there to not be awkward in between conversation but quiet enough to easily hear the person across from you. Just for that, I don't hesitate to bring my customers here. With that said, their lunch special is at a very reasonable price and the portions are such that you won't be falling asleep at your desk after lunch. The dinner prices are, in my opinion, very inflated. The food itself is pretty good. The appetizers leave a lot to be desired but the entrees are good and close enough to being authentic. I'm a big fan of their true Thai spice levels. If you haven't had Thai food or are unaware of the Thai spice levels, please start with mild or ask the wait staff to explain. I will be visiting more in the future for my business lunches! read more

Good drinks (I got the lychee martini) and food. The papaya salad they made extra hot for me, just how I like it, and it was as spicy as I could have dreamed. The curry noodles were also delicious. The service was also attentive and food came out fast. I liked sitting on the patio as well. read more

This is an exceptional restaurant. It has everything: great food, friendly service, beautiful interior with cozy ambience, and a fun location. The quality of the food really stands out. The flavors are dialed in to perfection, with absolutely perfect spice and temperature levels. The meat throughout the dishes was extremely tender and flavorful. Their cocktails are on the weaker side in terms of strength but tasty and creative. The wall full of awards you see when you walk in makes sense. My only gripe with this place (hence 4 instead of 5 stars) is that it's really overpriced. Yes the food quality is exceptional, but even by today's standards the entree prices are unusually high especially given that the portions are average (more on the small side). The Emerald Pad Thai for example is $37, and it's just a normal sized pad thaj with a minuscule amount of snow crab mostly just used as a garnish. Not even on the Vegas strip would they charge $37 for a pad thai. The cheaper Pad See Ew clocks in at $23 which is better but still way too high for the amount of food you get. Still, would highly recommend for date nights, groups, business dinners and special occasions. The combo of food quality, ambience and location makes this restaurant a real gem in Denver. read more

I have frequented daughter Thai about a dozen times. I live near by and when I don't feel like traveling to my go to Thai spot US thai , I visit DT. However ,It seems the portions keep getting smaller and more expensive. For $35+ the volcano beef now comes with hardly any meat, just lots of bell peppers picture below to Show the lack of substance. $20 for a papaya salad with no protein is just ludicrous pricing for a cut papaya with lemon juice , fish sauce and peanuts . Staff is always extremely courteous and professional. Food is actually delicious and authentic flavors , but it's gotten way overpriced . read more

Daughter is another place I've been wanting to try on Platte Street and Friday night was the perfect day to do so. We came in Friday night without a reservation and got seated very quickly. The dining room isn't huge but it was pretty full of guests. I definitely understand how servers can get in the weeds and delay a greeting to a table but we waited about 15 mins before seeing our server. The host was very nice and was able to get us started with water but that was after like 14 minutes. This was okay, I'm never one to complain about time until it's taking noticeably long. Our server was very nice and informative as it was our first time. He had some suggestions when we were struggling to decide what to get. We started off with Vegetarian Crispy Rolls and Papaya Salad. The only reason I'm giving this review four stars is due to the amount of time we had to wait for our appetizers. The first appetizer we got were the rolls after about 35 mins after ordering. Which is slightly ridiculous, in my opinion. We already placed our main entrees at this point. The papaya salad came out at probably 40-45 mins after which was so odd. After receiving the salad, we got our entrees 3 mins later. Which was not ideal. Thankfully the Papaya Salad was delicious and had a strong kick of spice (we got mild) so it was okay. I hate to be a complainer but the servers should be working with the kitchen staff to get the food out on time and not wait long periods of time. It just seemed disorganized. I got the Chicken Pad See Mao and my boyfriend got the Prawn Pad Thai. Both were very good! Nothing super outstanding though. I do want to give this place a second shot but our first visit was nothing special. read more

Daughter Thai Kitchen & Bar - Papaya Daughter Pla-Larb Salad - Thai Near Me - Denver, Colorado

This elevated Thai restaurant (as its website says it) is no doubt Denver's #1 Thai destination not because its sophisticated elegance you see in the dining and bar area but the quality ingredients they use to make all the dishes with no salt overload (they surely know how to season their dishes to entertain our palates.) As my BF and I dined at Daughter's just the other night when our stomachs were completely empty, we firsthand experienced what they are reputed for. And as if to meet our high expectations, nothing was disappointing. Let me state how everything was. -Our waitress: Was Jacky A. Her attentiveness was just right to the point where she only came to us when she suspected that we needed her (without us gesturing to her.) And she did so in a most timely manner. This must come from her experience as a waitstaff. -Overall dining atmosphere: The time was around 5:30pm on a very hot Thursday. We showed up to our reservation a bit early so the dining room was barely busy. The receptionist sat us at one of the two-person tables (their two-person tables are quite large so multiple dishes can be placed at one time). One of the seats was part of the long sofa against the wall on the east side of the restaurant. Very comfortable; your bottoms sink in just to the right depth. The other (standalone) chair which I sat on was comfortable due to its nice cushion. I like that where I wasn't sitting on a hardwood surface. The bar area also has a nice ambiance. The booths appear to be reserved for larger group of people and they are also quite the size. -Happy Hour: Monday and Tuesday is 5pm till close; Wednesday and Thursday is 5pm till 6:30pm. It appears somewhat limited and yet I kind of understand this structure so to avoid any "congestion" during said HH. It appears they value smooth operation and flow so the diners won't suffer a long wait especially when they are famished. HH menu is somewhat limited and yet let me get into some of the dishes we ordered from it as they amazed us. Meals/dishes: We got 1) Vegetarian Crisp Roll (4 pieces), 2) Garlic Broccoli from the HH menu and Chicken Pad Thai from the regular menu. And at the end of our meal, we got Chocolate Triple Mousse. Vegetarian Crisp Roll - $6 for the four pieces of deep-fried vegetarian spring roll were light, crisp (as the name says it all). The silver noodles, mushrooms and carrots were well-portioned in the crisp out layer of it and they were well-seasoned. The accompanying sweet and sour sauce had the perfect sweetness and tanginess. Must order item off the HH menu. Garlic Broccoli - Truly surprised us. When we got it, we were like, "Did we even order this?" It's because the dish doesn't look like it's a broccoli dish; they use only the stem part to make this dish and that is why it confuses you. But I tell you, you must get this dish. This stir-fried broccoli is cooked in a garlic-heavy mushroom sauce and oh boy, without using a lot of salt, they perfected the recipe where all flavors truly dance on your togues. $7 as of early August of 2025. Chicken Pad Thai - My BF had a truly disappointing experience at a different restaurant out of state so this was his request to forget about that horrible pad Thai taste. And did this dish pass his test? Yes, it beautifully did! The portion size was just right for our remainder of our appetite (after having the two appetizers from the HH menu.) Its presentation is a large white shallow bowl is quite captivating as well. After the three dishes, we were quite full and yet we decided not to skip a dessert (in many cases we do skip this part not because we don't like sweets but to not overeat.) Chocolate Triple Mousse - Simply amazing. This light dessert is a perfect size for two people when a small portion of some sweets are needed to finish off the meal. $11. We didn't order any drinks so I, unfortunately, cannot speak for that but if they focus so much on the ingredients and how they cook their dishes, I am certain that the same attention goes to what they serve and concoct for drinks. I will reserve the opportunity to experience that part for our next dining occasion. I simply cannot wait for that. read more

Daughter Thai Kitchen & Bar - Shrimp pad Thai - Thai Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Daughter Thai Kitchen & Bar has such a beautiful, inviting ambiance that immediately sets the tone for a special dining experience. The space is vibrant yet refined, and I'm already excited to see their upcoming expansion with Father Noodles next door. Our server was fantastic--attentive, helpful with recommendations, and clearly knowledgeable about both the food and drinks. It made the experience feel even more elevated. As for the meal, everything looked stunning and tasted just as good. The Emerald Pad Thai was flavorful and satisfying, but the real showstopper was the Deep Fried Whole Fish with their secret sauce. That dish was absolutely incredible--we savored every last bite and didn't waste a morsel. The only miss was the Thaigerrr Smile. Unfortunately, the beef was cooked far beyond well done and ended up with the texture of jerky. At $37 for what amounted to just a few bites of meat, it was disappointing. Had I noticed it right away, I would have asked for it to be remade, but I was too busy photographing the gorgeous presentation. Even with that one hiccup, I'd happily return to explore more of the menu. Daughter Thai feels like the perfect spot for a special occasion--an elevated, modern take on Thai cuisine where the service, ambiance, and standout dishes make for a memorable evening. read more

Food, ambience and service were all pretty good, but also irritatingly spendy: cheapest dinner entree I saw was low $20s and it just goes up from there. Median price looked to be in the $30s. Although our experience was generally good, we were not thrilled to find that our 2 low-end dinner dishes and 2 nonalcoholic drinks brought us to more than $70 - before tip! Absolutely dastardly hidden surcharge of a 5% "kitchen appreciation" fee to top it all off. Still tipped 20% against my better judgement and got out of there for almost $90 (!!!) for a very modest meal. WAY too pricey for a casual non-black-tie sit down for two. Live, learn, and never make the same mistake twice. read more

The service was excellent! Our waiter was very friendly, took his time helping us select what we wanted to eat, and checked in often on how we were doing. Our food was yummy and the perfect spice level. The spring rolls were by far my favorite. My dish only had 2 shrimp and our waiter corrected it right way. I wish it had more shrimp in it but it was still good. The restaurant was quiet but we went on a Wednesdays night. Parking was easy but it wasn't a busy night to be down there. read more

Came across the amazing reviews and decided to try this Thai restaurant. Great food , ambience and service. Ordered the Lean Geeen drink which is made of cucumber, basil, , ginger, lime, pineapple, tonic. This drink was amazing! Ordered the Thaigerr smile green curry, this comes with beef. The beef is so tender and the curry is just amazing. This fish made us come back to the restaurant 2 days in a row! The Khao Soi Ka (curry noodles) is my second favorite dish here. It comes with a spicy sauce that complements the dish really well to bring it to the right level of spiciness. When we are back in Denver, definitely visiting this restaurant. read more

If you're seeking a delightful culinary escape in the heart of Denver, try Daughter Thai Kitchen. Nestled in the vibrant and bustling downtown, this upscale yet comfortably casual Thai restaurant offers a mouthwatering selection of authentic dishes. The moment you step inside, you'll be greeted by an inviting atmosphere that strikes a perfect balance between chic and relaxed. The decor features elegant accents combined with soft lighting, making it an ideal spot for a romantic date night. You can easily stroll in wearing your favorite casual outfit, but be prepared to enjoy an experience that feels a bit special. I would recommend making a reservation if you want to ensure yourself a table here. Each dish is thoughtfully crafted using high-quality ingredients. Start your meal with a delicious appetizer like the gyoza (please see pictures of the adorable basket it came in). For my main course I tried the Pumpkin curry tofu and it was the best curry I have ever tried. I was worried the pumpkin would be too sweet but it was absolutely amazing. The creamy coconut sauce was addictive, and the assortment of vegetables were perfectly cooked. I loved that it wasn't the typical veggies you find in curry dishes (there was acorn squash and it was surprisingly good). Daughter Thai Kitchen left me wanting more and this has been added to my "go-to" restaurants for Denver. I'll be back on my next trip to Colorado! read more

Came here on Friday and was surprised we just had a short ~5 minute wait to get a table for 3. This menu is not all-encompassing - they don't have the basic 'pick a curry base, pick a protein' kind of thing. This place is definitely a pricier, upscale Thai spot. We opted not to get any drinks or appetizers, and each of just got one entree. My husband got the Khao Soi Kai which he enjoyed and my friend and I both got an order of the Chicken Pad See Moa (flat noodles with chicken, eggs, and veggies). We both agreed the flavors were great - a little sweet, spicy, and basil-y. Service was fast and we got several water refills. Didn't interact too much with the waitress. Overall I enjoyed the meal but the prices are steep - some of the dishes were $30+ (versus other thai places where those would be $15-20). So be prepared for a good, but pricier meal. read more

Came here for a casual birthday dinner with my boyfriend. It has been on our list for a while. We walked right in on a Sunday, late afternoon and were seated immediately. We were sharing a few items because family style seemed like the way to go. Random people would bring out food and drinks which was nice to see as we never ran out of water or were looking for someone when we needed something. We ordered as a starter the coconut shrimp, and Chicken Satay/ Shrimp Pad Se Ew as our main with a side of white rice and peanut sauce. The food was really delicious. We enjoyed everything that we ordered. It was the perfect amount for two people and we had a small to go box with leftovers, enough for a small snack later. However, those three items cost over $100. I did take off one start because the prices were a bit much, all around $5-$10 overpriced for fairly small portions. I know it's rare to find good Thai in Colorado but $30 for Pad Se Ew is outrageous. $16 with maybe $5 more for protein is still above average. Honestly the food was good, but the prices would keep me from being a regular and coming back. Either lower the prices by $2-10 or make the portion sizes bigger. Overall, 3.5/5 stars read more

Daughter Thai Kitchen & Bar - Crab Fried Rice Eggplant Gyoza - Thai Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Had lunch at Daughter Thai in Highland. The ambience of the restaurant was upper scale, a bit exotic but inviting. The service was attentive, prompt and helpful. They had most of the Thai staples and quite a few one of the kind chef specials on the dinner menu. They offered lunch special with an entree, a drink and a salad for $23 daily from 11 to 3. Ordering separately, these would be about $30, so the lunch special was a bargain and very competitive compared to other downtown restaurants. Ordered the red curry with chicken and Thai tea for the special and added the mango sweet sticky rice for dessert. The spring mix salad was a bit spicy. The Thai tea was as expected and not overly sweet. The red curry was served in a double decker steel tiffin box with jasmine rice at top and curry at bottom. Besides the chicken, the red curry also had basil, red bell pepper, green beans and eggplants. The taste was fragrant, lightly sweet, rich and flavorful. The portion was adequate. The mango for the mango sweet sticky rice was ripe, carved and sliced into easy to serve thin pieces. The rice was soft, chewy and very tasty with the lightly salted creamy coconut milk and mango. Certainly one of the better tasting Thai restaurants in town. read more
