About as authentic as it gets, they serve some amazing food which is supported by great service. The atmosphere is amazing and provides for a very home like environment. The quality of all their dishes is simply amazing. We've been going there as a family for several years now and have never been disappointed. A great place to enjoy some great Thai cuisine. read more

Silk Thai Cafe My daughter and I were out enjoying a girls day when hunger hit, so we searched for Thai restaurants nearby. Silk Thai Cafe popped up with great reviews and a convenient location, so we decided to give it a try, and I am so glad we did. The moment we walked in, we were in awe of the decor. There is so much to look at, rich details everywhere, and while a few spots could use a quick Swiffer pass, it was absolutely not dirty in any way. It felt warm, unique, and full of character. We were seated right away by friendly staff, which set the tone immediately. Our server, Ricky, was phenomenal. When we mentioned it was our first visit, he shared wonderful history about the owner and the decor, and even explained how the atmosphere changes between day and night shifts. He was engaging, attentive, and genuinely kind. He kept our spirits lifted and smiles on our faces the entire time. Truly hands down amazing service. The food was incredibly tasty, and the portion sizes were perfect for the price. Everything felt thoughtfully prepared and authentic. From start to finish, the entire experience was outstanding. We absolutely made the right choice trying a new Thai restaurant that day. If your belly is craving some of the best authentic Thai food, paired with amazing service and a beautiful atmosphere, choose Silk Thai Cafe. And if you are lucky enough to have Ricky as your server, you are in for an even more memorable experience.

This is a hidden gem in Tacoma. Such a beautiful ambience you feel like you're entering a Buddhist temple with all sorts of wood, carvings, candles, and statues. The food is also fresh delicious and flavorful. Ricky our server was super attentive and friendly. Probably my favorite Thai food restaurant in Western Washington. I would definitely highly recommend going there on a regular basis if you want fresh flavorful food, and a relaxing atmosphere. read more

What a nice surprise to find this great restaurant. The authentic decor and the low music make for a nice vibe. Sam is a first class waiter who knows everything you need for the best food and experience. We especially love the tofu salad rolls and the Thai eggplant with chicken. But we haven't had a meal we didn't like yet. Three be-backs in a month should say it all. MmmMmm read more

The decor and atmosphere was absolutely gorgeous. Just like Thailand. The ambiance was very relaxing the service was excellent. We were continually checked on by the servers. Would highly recommend coming here. Oh, and they know the heat levels. Ask about them. Not your typical heat. Impeccable food, service, and people. read more

Gluten free options and they were able to accommodate my other allergies, too. Fun restaurant vibe. Some people describe it as Indiana Jones, but the Thai woodwork is amazing to behold. read more

Used to be delicious, now it's lumpy and poorly-spiced. They can't nail the heat, meaning ordering a 3-star spice level can either burn to the point I can't eat it, or have no spice at all. read more

We had the Dan Dan Noodles, Pad See Ewe, and Bangkok Noodles. We ordered takeout, which may have affected my satisfaction with the meal and service. I was told 20 mins when I placed my order and showed up at my correct pickup time, but then was asked to wait another 15 minutes upon arrival, which was kind of a bummer. Then, all three noodle dishes were really really salty. The flavor profile was right other than perhaps excess soy sauce? Not sure if this was a one-off experience or not because I hear great things from everyone I talk to. I'll likely try it again because I'm sure it was a fluke. read more

There is NO better Thai place within 100 miles all directions. From the outside you would never guess that inside , merely 89 feet from busy 6th Ave , is a romantic quiet interior which you will see 100 % of the space reflects Thai artifacts. Silky is the best book of special recipes. My wife and I have attended probably 40 times or more. Before passing away, my mom and stepdads favorite place was here too- mom loved the crab and rice dish. Special hot sauce if you ask for it too. Simply the best Thai I know of and compare every one else to the best: Silk Thai! read more

The moment I walked in, the ambiance was so relaxing and breathtaking! Our server was so kind and friendly. The food was amazing!!! I will definitely be coming back again. read more

This place is a total hidden gem. It doesn't look like much from the outside but the interior is really wildly decorated and the food is really good. I love that they have Chang and singha beer which can be hard to find in the US. Their menu is pretty typical Thai for us restaurants and they have all the hits. I found the wait staff to be really friendly and attentive. Over all I'd rate them Food 8/10 ambiance 9/10, service 10/10, price point 11/10! and an extra point because I love Chang beer. Definitely recommend if you're in Tacoma read more

To go food is not good. Customer service is not good. Didn't even say hello or thank you

I got the panang curry. It was good, but i was a little confused why there were a lot of green peas. It didn't add to the dish and I didn't like it in there. Also, would've preferred the curry to be a little thicker. Slightly watery for my liking. It took awhile for our food to come out. The service was good. And the restaurant is overall a bit dark. read more

Silk Thai Cafe - Panang curry - Thai Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

I think I've been here three times in the last month and a half. That's quite a bit for me. I also keep ordering the same thing because it's delicious. I love their fresh spring rolls with tofu, the red curry with tofu, and the brown and sticky rice. The coconut sake is also fantastic! It's a very small place, but super nice inside. You definitely wouldn't know this at first glance being unassuming in a strip mall. I wish reservations were an option, but aside from that, the service is fantastic and every experience I have had has been stellar. read more

The atmosphere and decor was very nice. The food was very good..had the Cashew Chicken....but the spice rating of 3 was not very spicy.

I enjoyed this Thai food. We shared the fresh rolls which were very tasty. I liked the peanut sauce a lot! I had the basil chicken for dinner. It was very tasty and flavorful. I'd stop by again for dinner sometime! read more

The dinner we purchased last night was so horrible we threw it out. What has happened to Silk That? It used to be wonderful. All of our food tasted rancid read more

We ordered several dishes and I'd consider each only fair. There was nothing particularly good. The flavor profiles of the various dishes were flat and surprisingly similar. On a positive note, the people working there were really nice. read more

I hadn't been in Silk Thai Cafe for at least a dozen years, but remembered their crab wonton was an orgasmic experience. Upon walking through the front door, the first employee to greet me ask if I was picking up for Uber eats. Thinking I was funny I said "no, but I'm Uber hungry and I'm ready to eat". Didn't get a sideways smirk or a courtesy laugh...instead I got ignored by three employees for 10 minutes and never got a table. My dignity and my grandmother's voice in my head forced me to leave. I'm not sure they even noticed or cared. Bummed I couldn't give that crab wonton another try. Words of wisdom, Silk Thai... treat your dine in customers better or just go full delivery. read more

Meh. The service was soooooo slow. The food mediocre. I asked for 4 stars - the drunken noodles were quite bland. Not spicy, not flavorful, not very warm. read more

I've lived across the street from this place for 5 years and always wanted and intended to try it. I did for the first time yesterday. Boy have I been missing out! We got the DanDan noodles with chicken, pineapple fried rice with prawns and the short ribs. Everything was delicious, fresh and generous portions. I can't wait to try out more. read more

Great food! It was a little wait for takeout but everything was excellent And good Thai food is hard to find.

I had an excellent experience at Silk Thai. My yellow curry chicken was the best I've ever had. The inside of the restaurant is absolutely beautiful. The decor really added to the experience and set a great atmosphere, I highly recommend, the service was top notch. read more

Silk Thai Cafe - the interior of the restaurant - Thai Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

I had my first taste of Thai food at Silk Thai years ago when they first opened. I lived across the street from the restaurant and it soon became my favorite. We moved across town and weren't able to come in as often then it closed down for a while and we moved out of the city. Imagine my surprise when I came to town and my son wanted to go there for dinner. Sukie is still cooking the best Thai food around! We had the pleasure of meeting Emma who was an engaging and charming and a great waitress. Now that I know they are still open I will be coming to town more often. And the decor is so interesting and unique. read more

Glad to have indoor dining again - so much better when it's fresh and hot. Typically very good and reliable. Might have to go back soon!

The Pad Thai was great and fresh I will eat there again and do takeout at least once a week. read more

We will be back! I got my yellow curry at level 4 heat and it was absolutely phenomenal. The appetizers were delicious and the sauce on the wings was good enough I should have asked if they would sell me some to bring home. Sukie is an artist in the kitchen and I was overjoyed to be able to experience her food. The restaurant is a little dark but the food more than makes up for any complaint you could possibly have. 100/10 would definitely go again. I'm overjoyed to have leftovers today! read more

Seriously the BEST Thai food in Tacoma. And the staff are SO nice. When they had to be take out only we ordered from them almost weekly but I'm so glad they're back to dine in. I love the ambiance inside. read more

I've been wanting to try this place for awhile and finally had the opportunity! The interior is a bit dark yet the restaurant is clean and fresh. Those two things don't normally go hand in hand, haha. They put out a recent "spring menu" with some fun and fresh ideas, and I tried the Thai sausage. I was not disappointed in any of the food I ordered and the server girl (Tram) was super nice and efficient. I ordered the Thai sausage, lettuce wraps and hot tea. Normally I'd order the Pad Thai yet thot I'd try something different. I was super happy I stepped out of my comfort zone to try new things! Service and food were both excellent, I'll be back! PS SUPER IMPORTANT! I told my waitress, Tram that I was allergic to wheat. It didn't occur to me until I was about to leave, she never once brought anything to the table to compromise my health. When she brought my check, there were no fortune cookies like she took to the other table. I'm so impressed! read more

A little hidden gem in the heart of Tacoma! If you love Thai food, you're in for a treat the moment your step foot into Silk Thai Cafe! The decor is like you've transported to Thailand . Beautiful statues, artifacts, lighting, candles... definitely a welcoming vibe. Don't let the small wait for a table detour your decision. Once seated we were greeted quickly by our waiter to take our drink order then shortly after our food order. Once the food arrived, it was such a beautiful presentation. The cook really takes pride in the dishes . Everything was very flavorful. Loyal customer here! read more

This is my favorite spot to get yellow curry in Tacoma! The layout of the dining area is absolutely gorgeous, and as someone sensitive to LEDs, I appreciate the dim lighting. Perfect-sized portions for leftovers the next day! read more

Phenomenal Thai food, always fresh & delicious. Really comforting dishes. I want to try everything on the menu. The inside is so cute too! Beautiful spot. Highly recommend read more

Great food, nice ambiance and great service we have never been disappointed. My husband and I shared the fresh spring rolls with chicken and peanut sauce then red curry with duck pineapple mushrooms and tomatoes over rice. The duck was so tender and the curry was delicious with just the right spice. Dessert was Pandan custard over sticky milk and covered with coconut milk. Suki the owner works in the kitchen too, we have been going there since 2003 and just love her food! read more
