Thai Cafe - Thai Near Me - Miami Lakes, Florida

Used to be a gem . Food was ok . Too expensive . Atmosphere is boring inside. Probably wouldn't come again until years again to try it out .the waiter was slow didn't bring out waters , asked for napkins 3 times . Isn't really customer service friendly . Another waiter had to take over who was very nice . All of this at a slow pace restaurant wasn't busy at all . read more

Lovely restaurant located in Miami Lakes-Main Street. The restaurant serves Thai cuisine and a wide variety of sushi and Thai dishes. I ordered the shrimp shumai and chicken Pad Thai. Unfortunately the Pad Thai wasn't my favorite dish, although the presentation was nice, the chicken had no flavor, the rice noodles felt overcooked and the missing crushed peanuts made this dish overly sweet. As for the shumai shrimp the bites were good and the sauce complement them well. The service was great, very hospitable and friendly. Nice venue, great location and complementary parking available. I will definitely return to try the sushi! read more

Thai Café on Main Street isn't just a restaurant--it's a time machine. Nearly 30 years I've been coming here, and every visit feels like stepping into a memory I don't want to let go of. This was the place of my first date. The kind of date where nerves get tangled in chopsticks, where the curry seemed hotter than the situation really was, and where I was supposed to be at my college assistant job but instead disappeared for three hours. When I finally rolled back in, it was a miracle I wasn't fired. Maybe fate, maybe just good Thai karma. To add to the drama, my car's brakes didn't work that night. I had to drive using the handbrake like I was auditioning for some low-budget Miami remake of Fast & Furious. And yet, somehow, we survived. Survived the car, survived the date, survived youth itself. Thai Café has been the backdrop to it all. The food here? Legendary. The rolls are enormous--defying physics, wrapped tight, fried crisp, and still managing to taste light enough to trick you into ordering more. The satay hits with that peanut sauce that coats your soul as much as your tongue. The curries? They'll ruin you for chain-restaurant Thai forever. And then there's the Thai tea, sweet, orange, and perfect--the kind of drink you sip slowly, wishing it lasted just a little longer. The view of Main Street out the window gives the whole place a postcard charm. Miami Lakes was built to be a suburban dream--quaint, walkable, a planned utopia that somehow managed to age gracefully. Sitting here with a plate of curry, you're watching that dream still live. The owner has known my family for decades. You walk in and it's not just "another restaurant." It's continuity. It's history. It's community. That's rare in Miami, where restaurants often vanish faster than a summer thunderstorm. But Thai Café remains, steady, enduring, and beloved. So here's the gospel: try the rolls. Try the satay. Try the curry. Say hi to the owner. Because this isn't just food--it's legend. And legends, if you're lucky, stay with you for a lifetime. read more

Nice workers but skimpy portions and over cooked chicken. They have a great location and are nice folks. It needs improvement on the cuisine. read more

No wonder it's a staple in Miami Lakes and open for over 25 years! THE PLACE: Located in Main Street in Miami Lakes plenty of free parking is available. Inside, its cozy and inviting with its intimate spaceing, wood trimmings and slightly dimmed lighting. Tables are available as well as limited seating by the sushi bar. THE FOOD: In our visit we ordered the Tom Ka-Gai 5/5 creamy,light savory, packed it flavor - and felt like a hug. The Pad Thai 5/5 - legit the BEST pad Thai we've ever tried! Flavors were balanced, phenomenal texture. Kang Neau 5/5 beef and peppers in my favorite ingredients - curry & coconut milk! Nigiri sampler 3/5 nice thick slices but just ok in freshness and taste -nothing too impressive. Thai donuts 5/5 WOW! Yes, must try! Crispy outside, doughy freshness inside with condensed milk for dipping. THE SERVICE: Staff was courteous and friendly. read more

This place has been around for such a long time. I had not gotten food there since 2022 I believe. Unfortunately the restaurant really needs an upgrade. It's a bit old and I find it has musty smell and that's why I stopped going. However, the food is very good, I had sushi this visit. It was very fresh and at a great price. read more

We have been to the Thai Café several times and never been disappointed. We would go out of our ways to enjoy a meal there. I suggest you do the same. read more

Let me start off by saying the service was A+ Our server was attentive without being annoying and seemed to know exactly what we needed when we needed it. She was amazing! I ordered the Tom Yum soup, which was alright. Nothing over the top and to be honest was a little bland. The Thai tea was a little too sweet for my taste but they were very accommodating and removed the creamy portion since I have a dairy sensitivity. Perhaps that's why it was so sweet bc it needed to be mixed with the creamer. The food was middle of the road, but wasn't bad and was hot. The restaurant itself is clean but dated. I didn't use the restrooms so I can't comment on it. I might give it another chance by trying another dish simply because the staff were so nice. But it's not a "WOW" spot. read more

Food is disgusting. I wast 100 dollar on a disgusting dinner. Fried rice is just rice and eggs not taste not flavor. Chicken teriyaki's just boil chicken with a watery sauce, no taste or flavor. Beef with baby corn and mushrooms, disgusting meet was boil not color not taste..... please do not order from this place ... waste of money and time. Places like this shouldn't be open... sorry my experience was horrible. read more

Terrible experience. Went for lunch, but I ordered a regular dish not from the "lunch special". The sushi/sashimi combo with 10 pieces of sushi for 32$. The tuna roll were super tiny and the sushi/sashimi mix was made of 2 crab imitation and 2 shrimp. They couldn't go any cheaper. This place went really down hill..... I won't go back!!!!!​ read more

Took a pit stop here until the rain stopped. Ordered a tuna hand roll and Tom Kha soup. The soup wasn't great, I wouldn't recommend it. The hand roll was fresh. For the amount of food I got for the price, I wish I had just ordered an entree. read more

Love this little hole in the wall, in the back road of Main Street. I come here often for their sushi and the BEST fried rice in the area. Definitely a place I recommend for a nice, quiet night out with delicious food! The sushi is very fresh and the food portions are perfect for sharing. Not to mention that the prices are perfect for the quality and the amount of food. read more

A hidden little gem; me and my family of 12 had an awesome experience at this chill, relaxed restaurant. Wasn't very crowded, which is a very good thing, so we got seats immediately. Me and my husband shared a love boat. It was amazing. Each piece of sushi was very fresh. Definitely recommend for a little outing if you're up for it. read more

The Penang curry must have crack in it because I'm addicted. It's simple ingredients but it tastes soooo good.

As soon as you walk in it reeks of a very unpleasant odor. The service was mediocre. I ordered the chicken friend rice. The chicken was pale, flavorless and had the texture of rubber. Needless to say I spent the night and two days later with food poisoning that I'm still reeling from. Do not recommend. read more

I have never thought of Hialeah as having wow quality restaurants. This one landed in the mediocre range. My boss who dined with me thought a bit higher. My plate was just bland with no outstanding flavour to it. I had the mixed vegetables which I asked for stir fried and I'm quite sure that I was given steamed. No spice, no nothing with mushy vegetables. My boss' order was botched. Service was good but there was quite a bit of confusion when it came to custom orders. Because of the lack of Thai restaurants in this area, this may be one of your only choices. If you are able to expand the area that you are willing to go then I would try for better. A five star rating here would be doubtful. read more

"Last Friday night Yeah we danced on tabletops And we took too many shots Think we kissed but I forgot." -Katy Perry's "Last Friday Night" EXCEPT THIS DIDN'T ACTUALLY HAPPEN! All that happened last Friday night was that a trio of my girlfriends and I went to the lovely little Thai Café all while resembling some sort of Sex and the City reunion. Seriously speaking, this is not one of those places that you want to have really loud conversation, especially if it's of the personal kind. The ambiance is intimate, romantic even, so for a rowdy get-together it may not be the best fit. That being said, this quaint restaurant will tug on your heartstrings. Found in Main Street in Miami Lakes, you don't have to worry about parking and there's plenty of things to do before and after coming here. Please be aware though that this restaurant has some odd hours; I know they close sometime in the afternoon between lunch and dinner, but honestly I don't know the exact hours. Anyway, I have no idea if they take reservations or not, but in all the times I've gone, I have never seen this restaurant fully packed. Mind you, I've gone once every couple of years or so. Somehow this clearly isn't enough, and well, yet it is. The food is fabulous. We had an array of miso soups, sushi, chicken Thai noodles, fried cheesecakes, and Thai donuts. Oh and coffee! I cannot comment on anything but the miso soup and the chicken Thai donuts, but everyone was happy and no one complained. Heck, one of my girlfriends ordered the coffee, offered it to another, and next thing I know she ordered some as well, so it must have been yummy. The chicken Thai noodles were on point. Perfectly seasoned and with lots of delicious green broccoli. The Thai donuts were spectacular, although admittedly the plate they brought them in confused me. The space is apparently on the bottom right side. I'm so used to having the container on top, but this is just a mere technicality. With all this, the one reason I give this place four stars is simply that they are ridiculously understaffed. Yes, the restaurant isn't packed, but they had two or three waitresses maximum. Having to ask for water in a restaurant is a huge pet peeve of mine, and well, my throat at some point was dryer than the Sahara Desert. Not to mention that this happened twice, and with all the running around, one of my girlfriends had to flag down our waitress. Needless to say, this visit reminds me as to why I only go here once every couple of years - great food and okay service. read more

Decided to try a new spot for lunch in the area and was in the mood for Thai. They offer a big lunch special menu that ranges from $7-$12 depending on if you order from the Thai menu or sushi menu. When I walked in I wasn't sure if I was supposed to seat myself or wait since a couple of workers saw me but said nothing. I made myself noticed by one guy and he finally told me someone will be right with me. I decided to go with the Shrimp Pad Thai. It was very orange which I'm not used to. It almost tasted a little sweeter than what I'm used to. It wasn't bad, but I would probably try something else if I come back. read more

The restaurant in general is depressing as if it were stuck in the 80's. The cold granite tables and the table train in the middle with hand sanitizer and wipes is so distasteful , right in your eyes as you eat, just terrible. Tom Kha Gai Soup had raw chicken . read more

This is another of the local restaurants I recommend for Thai food. It is hidden so unless you have it on maps you probably won't find it. It is a very small restaurant, with good food portions for the price you pay. Service is very good as well. Since very few people know of this place there is only few people in the restaurant always, so I definitely like the ambiance of having only few people there. Don't forget to order sake. read more

My mom and I wanted to try out a new spot near where we live and after a few minutes of scrolling through Yelp, we found this spot! I used to work at the movie theatre in Mainstreet and remember walking by this restaurant a few times, it's been around for quite a while. Anyway, we arrived at around 12pm and were the first customers of the day. Upon entering, we were greeted by two friendly people and were asked to sit by the back of the restaurant, no issues. We looked through the menu and were amazed by how large the menu was! So much to choose from! We decided to stick to the lunch menu since we didn't want our portions to be too big. We ordered - Spring Rolls as an appetizer. One order came with 3 rather small spring rolls. Don't get me wrong, they were yummy, but... 3 small rolls? Lol. Oh well, it was only around $5 so it's not a huge deal... they tasted good and I recommend them. - Shrimp Pad Thai ($8.95).... HORRIBLE!!! I hate returning food and almost never do it, but wow... this was absolutely disgusting. I've had plenty of pad Thai and this was nothing like what I expected. It was red, smelled HORRIBLE (I lost my appetite), and tasted like straight up fish oil.... I can't describe how bad it was. I politely explained that this is not what I expected and the waitress totally understood. She even told me she doesn't like the way they cook it there and that when she cooks it herself at home she omits the fish sauce because it's very overwhelming and smells putrid. - Sautéed Beef with Bamboo shoots and peppers ($8.95)... mediocre. My mom wasn't impressed and said there was way too much liquid (looked like a soup)... I usually pick off her plate but it didn't look appetizing so I opted out. - Thai Donuts. Hell to the yeah, of course these were delicious.... if you come here you have to try these... thank me later. I returned my pad Thai and asked for chicken fried rice instead... WOW, it was amazing. Their fried rice reminded me a bit of the heavenly fried rice from Benihana's. I rate the fried rice 10/10.... read more

This place was my initial Thai and sushi discovery in high school. We're talking about over 10 years ago. Absolutely love their food. I love their Ginger chicken, pad Thai, and their special fried rice. Along with their rolls. Down side, their location doesn't smell good. It can become real crowded. However, I really enjoy their food. And now that I know postmates delivers I will be ordering take out. read more

Thai Cafe's menu is so vast that it is in alphanumerical code. Yes, they have so many things to order that they found the need to invent a culinary version of the Dewey Decimal System for their menu. From my experience big menus are not a good thing. Typically, the larger the selection there is, the more the food suffers in quality and taste. I've tried their steak fried rice (R-1), sweet and sour chicken (C-8), roasted duck (H-2), and Pad Thai (N-1). All of which are disappointingly oily AF. I mean the rice and pad Thai is somewhat decent but I don't understand why it's so oily. The sweet and sour chicken and duck is a bust. I will never order those again. Thai Cafe's saving grace is their sushi bar. It isn't the most amazing sushi but with the lack of good sushi places in the area, Thai Cafe will do. I typically order the Thai Cafe Roll and Dragon Roll and I'm always satisfied with the consistency and cut. The sushi itself taste great. Considering it all, I'd be willing to eat Thai Cafe if i was invited to go but it wouldn't be my first choice. I think you should flip a coin and let chance decide if you should give it a go. read more

We visited Thai Cafe on a Saturday afternoon. The restaurant has a cozy atmosphere, and we were promptly greeted by a very nice young man. The reason I'm giving Thai Cafe 2 stars instead of one is due to the attentive service of this young waiter and because the Tom Ka that I had was delicious. The rest of the food was mediocre at best. I ordered a dish with shrimp, and found them to be tasteless, rubbery and small in size. My husband had a sushi roll that was quite unremarkable. My husband and I will not be returning to this restaurant. read more

I wrote a review on Google but this place was so bad I wanted to post it here too. - This is from an experience on 06/30/2021 Genuinely shocked that this place has 4.3 stars. Let me start off and say the service was as good as it good be they were SEVERELY understaffed and had one woman running around doing everything (shout out to who I presume to be the owner [bald, older gentleman] who didn't help her at all while she was dealing with sit down customers, walk-ins, calls, and take-out. Now to the food. It was all terrible. Terrible showing of what Thai food actually is. Even if you are looking for "faster" Thai food then go to Thai Express. Ordered the jumping squid (that wasn't edible we returned it and still paid full price even though we each took one bite to try and both didn't like it) then the tigers eye was the same variation of the jumping squid just with beef and tasted...mediocre at best. Beef wasn't fresh and didn't have a good flavor profile. The gyoza were basic they had a bad oil taste. We tried conch sushi and I won't comment on that because even though we didn't like it, it was our first time trying it. Cannot tell if it was the food itself or the lack of quality in the restaurant. Now onto the final entrees. I ordered a beef and broccoli dish and my boyfriend ordered a beef noodle dish. We were starving and we didn't even finish the meal. During this time we saw customers walk out due to a lack of service (which is NO FAULT to the woman working she was CONSTANTLY moving and doing the best that she could which was better than a majority of workers) and to top it all off me and my boyfriend have had the runs since dinner TWO NIGHTS AGO!!! Overall terrible food, shotty service, gave the runs. Will never go back. Obviously there are other reviews that rate it highly so just be aware that while there may be good experiences there are such bad experiences that it may not even be worth the risk. Also if you are a restaurant owner, please make sure to actually play an active role in it's success besides from the fiscal side. read more
