Legit Thai food. Ordering spice level above 5 is not for the faint of palate. Those of us who like serious heat have found a home The food was fresh and flavorful. The server was an absolute darling. This will be my lunch stop when driving to Nashville from now on. read more

I ordered the iced tea, it was very sweet like dessert sweet, you definitely need water on the side if your ordering it. And I ordered som tum (green papaya salad) instead they served me cucumber spicy salad that is not anywhere near the taste of som tum. I ordered the massaman (yellow curry), the bowl is humongous. But it tasted like chicken and spicy coconut milk sauce. Not giving a bad review cause I whine all the time but I'm love food and I don't want other people making the same mistake I did. I ended up asking for to go box and ended up throwing away in the next gas station :( read more

I love Thai food. This was cafeteria grade food. Pad Thai was dry somehow and cream cheese wontons where chewy

I'm highly disappointed I walked in at 11am on 02/02/18 and the door was unlocked but not all the lights were on. We waited 30 minutes and never even saw a person the phone rang over 5 times and we called out and gave up and left. Not sure why the door was unlocked when clearly no one was inside. Never returning. Kitchen is also disgusting. I've had the food before and it's great but now that I know where it comes from NO THANK YOU! read more

Awesome and fresh food!!! The service was a little slow but it was a busy lunch with big parties and take out orders.

If you've eaten authentic Thai food before, best to steer clear of this place! If you've not had authentic Thai before, you may be fooled into thinking this is an average Thai restaurant. read more

I'll admit upfront that I haven't eaten much Thai food in my life so I can't really compare it to other joints. That said, once we finally found the place, we sat down and were promptly greeted. Not knowing much about Thai food, I went with what so many other Yelpers mostly recommended, the chicken pad Thai and Thai iced tea. The tea was promptly served and I was excited to try it. However, that excitement quickly turned to disappointment. It was so sweet, I could not believe it. I've had some very sweet tea before but this beats em all. I promptly asked the server to take it away and get me a Pepsi instead, which was much more predictable. Our food soon arrived, after which I realized we made 2 mistakes. We should have ordered only one dish bc it was quite large, and, since we did order 2 we should have ordered different menu items. The best way I know to describe the dish is like those Lipton noodle packets that are always on sale at Kroger for a buck, topped with some kind of liquified peanut butter, and chicken. Needless to say I was not impressed, and my wife was downright disgusted. She ate 2 bites and was done. I wasn't far behind her. The server came by and asked if everything was ok, I said it was alright, since that may be exactly what it's supposed to taste like, in which it wouldn't be their fault. She asked if we wanted togo boxes to which I replied, no thanks. The only thing that really irked me was that come check time, I was charged for both the Thai tea, which I drank 1 small sip of and returned, and the Pepsi. Which added up to be $5.50 on the bill. I asked her about it and she said, "you order both, so you pay for both". Fine. That just sealed the deal for me. After we left, we went home and ate a turkey sandwich, tasted like heaven. I can say without any doubt that I won't be going back. read more

I didn't know it was possible to make Thai food so unhealthy! Anyone who likes this place needs to get out of TN a little more often !!!

Absolutely delicious Pad Thai. I get the chicken Pad Thai with a 3/10 spiciness rating. Everything is made to order and is delicious. It takes awhile because there is only one chef, but it is so worth it. Huge portions always make at least two meals for me. This place is severely underrated. read more

My friend a Pad Thai snob. It's true. So my review of this item is based on his thoughts more than mine. He thought it was a bit dry, said it need more sauce and more peanuts. He also thought the noodles were over cooked. I didn't think so. Now the egg rolls are as big as a toddlers head! No joke they are huge, homemade and yummy if you don't mind some extra grease every once in awhile. I had the Tom Kha soup and it was delicious! Now, about the Tom Kha, this is homemade yumminess and I'm guessing made very traditionally. So there are pieces of lemongrass and another spice I'm unsure of that you will be picking out of your soup or mouth. That was a bit unpleasant. The order of Pad Thai, Tom Kha, side of rice and 2 egg rolls was was $36. A couple of side notes, fried rice was ONLY RICE, no eggs or veggies at all. Egg rolls are huge and good but greasy. The portions are HUGE. Very possible to split a dish and cut the cost. I'd go back but be sure to have it budgeted. $12 is the CHEAPEST dish and for lunch that's too high for this girl. read more

Nope! The red curry was bland and too thick, the vegetables tasted like they were from frozen isle at the grocery store and they are obviously using minute rice. The server was very nice, however, their poor attempt at curry will prevent me from ever returning. read more

The service was great but I would not recommend the food here. The place is very hard to find. We ordered their Chicken Panang Curry and Chicken Pad Thai and also a Thai Iced Tea. The Panang was very watery and lacked the thick richness of true Thai Panang. The Thai Iced Tea was extremely sweet. And the Pad Thai was so sweet it tasted like a dessert. The food tasted like it was created with a very low budget for quality. read more

As soon as I entered, the first thing that I noticed was this peculiar smell that made me so uncomfortable and the worst part was the staff seemed unaware about it. I alway thought that one could never go wrong with Panag curry, but I was proved wrong by them. They messed it up so bad that I have no words for it. All in all worst thai restaurant i have ever visited. read more

Highly disappointed. There are several items of complaint that can be made for this place, which is unfortunate, since this is the only restaurant in the Jackson, TN, area, which bills itself as a Thai restaurant. The menu prices will leave you with mild sticker shock, but the quality of the food will horrify you. The pork egg roll came to the table as a fist-sized, dark brown brick, which could have broken a tooth if it weren't allowed to soak in a bath of its accompanying pink sauce for a few minutes. For the main meal, I ordered the cheeseburger of all Thai joints--Pad Thai, priced at $11 to $12. What came out to the table was a hubcap-sized plate, with a sticky tangle of plain noodles, topped with four pieces of green onion, and an entire box of fried tofu thrown on top of it. It came with an odd garnish of fatigued lemon, parsley, and red cabbage, as though it would somehow "pretty-up" the chef's disinterest in food altogether. Our biggest complaint about this place was not---surprisingly---the food; it was actually the wait. The restaurant wasn't busy, and we were only the second table with customers for the majority of our visit. After waiting for 45 minutes to get my meal, and a few additional minutes of still not receiving my hubbie's meal (basic sweet and sour pork), we asked for the check. Poor food, poor service. read more

Thai Cafe - Thai Near Me - Jackson, Tennessee

First off, the food is DELICIOUS!!! Their fried wontons are amazing!!! However we were very disappointed with the service. During the week there is a server that is very sweet and has great service. Then there is a girl on the weekend that acts like we are the bane of her existence. No smile, wouldn't refill our drinks. And pretty much acted like we didn't exist. So I recommend this place for the food, but not the service on weekends. read more

Server seemed indifferent. She knew the menu, but sure didn't help us with the menu. She checked on us often, but absolutely no conversation. Sat in a room with one table. Really neat, but the decorations looked more like a mammaws bedroom than an Asian restaurant. Hors de Oeuvres came out soon enough and were well done. They were quite good. First plate of food came out. Yes, just one of four. It was a shrimp dish, so my wife took it as she ordered a shrimp dish. As we waited for the other three entrees, we became quite sure that the first dish was not what we ordered. Just then the waitress came back and asked if we had 'touched' the plate. As we had not 'touched' the plate, she picked it up and brought it to the correct table. This was after 5 minutes on our table. Absolutely disgusting. We were finally served the entrees. Three of four were nothing more than microwaved cans of LaChoy you get from the supermarket. Two of them were supposed to spice level 5, neither had any evidence of spice. The fried shrimp were buried in inch thick batter. The icing on the cake...On the way out one of the waitresses was sitting on the front curb smoking a cigarette. Classy. read more

The food here is incredible. To die for. The service was less than desirable, but I think it was because he was a young kid who had never served before. We will definitely go back. YUMMO! read more

Very good food I had the red curry with tofu. In a strip mall landlord won't let them have a sign above so it's a little hard to find but it's under the Spring Hill Financial Sign read more

The food is overpriced, service is slow. If you want Thai food go to Memphis or Nashville.

Love this place and the food! It is not super authentic, but pretty good for Jackson. The wait staff is very nice and the portions are huge.

Sweet and salty not the Thai I'm use to...... Very disappointed. My entire family and I have eaten here in the past and was throughly satisfied. Yesterday I ordered two dishes of veg with chicken. Cost 30 plus dollars so I asked if I could taste it. Boy I'm glad I did. Too much salt and sugar. Did someone else start cooking or change ownership? read more

Friendly service, but the food quality was very disappointing. Ordered a Pad Thai and it was ok, but very plain (only basic noodles and chicken). Ordered Pad See Ew and it wasn't made with wide noodles and came plain with no vegetables, and was the worst I'd ever had. A shame because the workers were very hospitable. read more

Thai Cafe is located in the Carriage House Centre in Jackson, Tennessee. Love the supreme noodles and pad Thai. Lots of food for the money. Call in your eat in order and you won't have to wait because everything on the menu is prepared fresh. read more

This place is great. Never fails to hit the mark. Pad thai is excellent, big portion. Try the green curry over rice or the seafood larb for something different. Egg rolls are huge and sweet sticky rice w/coconut is always delicious. read more

This place has the best Thai food. I compare every other Thai restaurant to this one and nothing ever lives up. We live out of town and always look forward to coming home and planning a lunch date to Thai Cafe! read more

Having lived in Udorn, Takli, and NKP Thailand for years I looked forward to eating here. Service is slow, people are not overly friendly, nor helpful answering questions pointedly. The menu is limited. I cook a lot of Thai and Vietnamese food myself (I was married to a woman from Laos for 14 years) This place is to Thai food what taco-bell is to Mexican food. Very high profit margin on food served compared to purchase prices to make it. What I used to pay 2 Bhat for in Udorn or NKP costs 200 Bhat here (10 cents there vs 10.00 Here. The flavors were not what they should have been. Northern Thailand has the hottest food in the world, this place seemed bland. Oh, and yes; the next time you make comments between each other - Make sure your customer doesn't speak your language as well or better than you do. Just because they don't doesn't mean they can't. read more

This is a great little Thai food restaurant. The server was super friendly and eager to please! I had the Massaman chicken. It was very tasty and enough for two! read more

I love this place! Flavor is wonderful and the atmosphere is fun. You may have to wait a while for your food on a busy night, so budget a lot of time so you don't get frustrated. But it is worth the wait! A Jackson treasure. read more

My absolute favorite restaurant in Jackson!The Tofu Pad Thai is awesome! Another favorite is the regular egg roll! The yellow curry is really good as well. Delish! Side note- All of the food is cooked fresh, so be sure to allow time for that! read more

This place is a mixed bag. The service is often very slow but the food is normally amazing. Portions are huge. The Pad See Eew is amazing and it's one of the few places in town where a vegan can go and eat. There have been times where I found the Pad Thai really greasy and I've sometimes been really bothered that the service was glacially slow. But it's usually worth the wait. I would rank it higher but for the slow service. For Jackson, it's worth a visit. read more

We were in Jackson, Tn to visit a sick relative who was in the hospital. We are on a whole food plant based diet. and came across this café doing a google search. We called and were told that they could fix us a meal and did they ever. The four of us ordered different meals and all exceeded our expectations. The restaurant may not be the fanciest spot n town but the food is excellent. Just a side note if you don't like your food too spicy please let them know and they will tone the heat down. (On a scale of 1 to 10 mine was 3 and it was plenty hot enough, so I would go a little lower than you prefer just to be safe.) read more

This is one of my favorite restaurants in Jackson. I kind of love the fact that you really have to look for it. It's not really advertised, and one has to walk up to the door to see 'The Thai Cafe' sign. The decor is minimal, yet obviously Thai-inspired (I assume), and I like it. The servers I've had before have always been super, super sweet. I get the supreme noodles & Thai iced tea every time I go. I know I should really venture out, but these two things are so out of this world, I haven't gotten over them yet. Very large portions are served of this particular dish. I only wish the Thai tea was endless, though I suppose that makes it all the more special that it's not. It's such a perfect treat that I crave until the next time I'm there. The hot & sour soup is also pretty yummy. read more

Pleasantly surprised. The curry was pretty good. Service good. The thermostat must have been set for uncomfortably warm in the restaurant, I guess that's better than uncomfortably freezing. One order at dinner time is really good for two people. DH and I both ordered an entree and had leftovers the next day read more

Table time was insane - almost 45 minutes to receive our food. Completely unbalanced. Pad Thai was drenched in sweet oyster sauce. Massaman curry was inundated in chili flakes. Just ridiculous and overpriced for a lunch option. Travelers avoid this place. read more

This is not only my favorite thai food restaurant, but this is my favorite restaurant in Jackson. I had a pad thai and a chicken bowl and it was delicious! The portions are really big and they have a really friendly service. I will come here again! read more

We are huge Thai fans at our house. We were skeptical about this place. We went to it's original location a few years ago and never got waited on so we left. We ordered take out tonight because we were bored with everything else in town. I ordered Panang (red curry). It really tasted more like yellow curry. It was still good, but lordy it was hot and I love hot food. I asked for a 2 on a scale of 1-10 since I had never eaten there. Hubby had sweet & sour shrimp. It was fair, but was literally just shrimp, sauce and a few pieces of veggie garnish, more like what you'd get at a Chinese place instead of the typical Thai version. We will try it again. I wasn't a fan of the egg rolls, they are huge, fried things served with super hot mustard sauce. Hubby liked them tho. Portions are HUGE. I have enough panang for 2 more meals. read more

My family and I count the Thai Cafe as one of Jackson's restaurant gems. The food is always of high quality and the service always comes with a smile and gracious attitude. The cafe has plenty of comfortable seating and even has a few private rooms. It is not a fancy place but it is the food that shines! read more

I love this place. Granted, it's the only place to get Thai food in Jackson. The portions are gigantic and priced well for the amount of food you get. My wife and I always split the chicken pad Thai and have plenty to eat for around 10 dollars. The only drawback is the weird atmosphere. read more
