    Soup
    Shawn B.

    I grabbed the Broccoli Oyster with chicken lunch special. Dine-in lunch comes with soup, spring roll, and salad, but since I did carry out, I did not receive the salad. The spring roll I received did not taste fresh, but the flavor was okay. The soup was tasty and was made of a broth with green onions and rice noodles. I was disappointed in my main dish. The chicken was lacking flavor of any kind. I chose extra hot for my heat level, and it wasn't too spicy. A jasmine rice would have accompanied the dish better, however the rice was simply a long grain rice. Unfortunately, I probably won't return.

    I had a great time here! I went on a solo date and the food was amazing. All of my servers were super nice and made sure I had everything I needed. The service was fast and efficient. I would def go here again! I ordered the drunken noodles and spring rolls. They did NOT disappoint. Spice level was amazing (I got the level 3) and the rolls were fresh! I will def be back!

    Okay. So ownership has changed within the past few months and sometimes that can help or hurt a business. In this case, I'd have to say that the change in ownership surely didn't hurt. It's the 1st day of 2023 and the new changes didn't disappoint. Everything was absolutely delicious!!! The appetizer changed in appearance, but the taste magnified!!! In the past, the crab Rangoon's were just alright. But now, they are the best!!! They came out fresh and tasty. I did notice some changes in the menu; out with the old and in with some new. The service was great! Not sure who the gentleman was, but he took my order and checked in within a reasonable amount of time. Update: Have visited again since and ordered the same thing. The only difference is I made a huge mistake in getting a 2 for my spice level for my fried rice. Talk about my nose runny and ears ringing!!! I will stay on the porch and stick with a 1 moving forward. Overall, Thai Cafe is my go to for Thai food.

    Thai Cafe is under new ownership so I had to stop in to try it. I'd always liked the old Thai Cafe. But I hadn't tried it in a while as they never fully reopened after the pandemic, and I don't do a lot of take out. The new owners haven't let the Thai Cafe down. The service is better than ever and the food was great. We both enjoyed our dishes. The spice level was perfect, everything was cooked well, and the presentation was good. I've always been a little put off by the heavy blue tint on the windows, but that's a minor quibble. Definitely stop in if you haven't been in a while. The Thai Cafe remains a Broad Ripple gem.

    Thai Fried Rice lunch special
    Raven B.

    I went to Thai Cafe for a lunch meeting with some of my coworkers. We were seated immediately and brought some water. I knew from the start that I had to try their lunch special because of how great of a deal it is! I ordered the Thai Fried Rice with pork and asked for it extra hot. My coworkers thought I was crazy!! I know Thai Hot is too hot for me, but usually, when I get Thai food, I get it medium or hot and am still not satisfied with the heat. This time, I wanted to get it right!! The soup came out first. I will be honest that I don't exactly know what kind of soup it is: some type of broth with scallions at the bottom? It was a good start. Not too heavy, but enough to get the meal started. Very soon after, the rest of the food came out. The rice was accompanied by salad and a spring roll. I started with the salad, and I was very pleased with it! Sometimes Thai restaurants use a dressing that is way too heavy on ginger. This one was a perfect blend and complimented the lettuce and carrot very well. I ate the entire salad. Next, I tried a bite of the spring roll dipped in the sweet sauce next to it. It was still super hot and steamy, but delicious! I moved on to the Thai fried rice next! It was PERFECT!! The pork was cooked so well, and the blend of vegetables in the rice was delicious. The spice level was great as well: enough to make my nose run, but not so bad that I can't eat it. I like pouring the spring roll sauce on my fried rice, and it was even more delicious after I did so. For a lunch special, it was a great amount of food. I ended up taking some leftovers home which was enough for a side to use with another meal. This one is taking its place as my #1 Thai restaurant near me. It was pretty quiet which made it a great place for a casual meeting, and we were there for a couple hours and never felt rushed. I would love to try for dinner sometime, but the lunch special is so good of a deal I am sure I will be back for it soon!

    I ordered carry out to eat at the hotel. It was very good and I'd definitely eat here again. I got an order of the spring rolls and the Spicy Bamboo (Pad Ped). I ordered the spicy bamboo Thai hot. I was expecting a good kick, but man this heat was beyond what I expected! However, even as hot as it was it still had great flavor!

    37. Broccoli Oyster Sauce
    Iris F.

    I'm very pleased every time I visit this place. I always get my orders to go mainly because I always go alone but the service is always great. My food is so fresh and hot. Even when I get home it's still steaming. The Thai spice levels are no joke . I love hot food but I still do a 2 or 3. One of my favorite places to eat in Broad Ripple.

I ordered spring rolls and drunken noodles with tofu. The spring rolls were light and crispy. I would recommend ordering a few. Or more than a few. My drunken noodles were excellent. I ordered mild-to medium spice, and the spice level was perfect. The serving size was generous. Will have leftovers for dinner, yay! Service was very pleasant. Ordering was efficient. I called in my order and received a text when my order was ready. I'll definitely return, and would enjoy dining in next time. Thanks to Yelpers for the great reviews that brought me here.

They have lots of space to park, but the restaurant itself is very small and there can be long wait times if you get there during peak dinner rush. I think we only ended up waiting about 15 minutes for a table though, so it wasn't too bad and the weather was really nice outside. They also have a cute little tiny library in the parking lot that we perused while we waited. They were very busy and a bit understaffed, so service was slow. It took a while to get drink orders put in after we said we still needed to look over the menu. Three out of four drinks came out after a bit of another wait, but the fourth drink was a cocktail and took 30+ minutes to be brought over to the table after being ordered at the same time as the wine and Thai tea. Our empty water carafe kept getting looked over and we had to ask a few times for another carafe. For appetizers, our friends ordered the dumplings to share and we ordered the crispy tofu to share. While both were good, the dumplings were the favorite. The peanut dipping sauce for the tofu was delicious, but the tofu itself was not crispy at all which was a bummer. For meals, everyone ordered chicken as their protein, but when my friend's curry was brought out the first time it had beef in it, which she doesn't eat. Her husband went up to the front to get it resolved since our server hadn't come back over yet. The correct curry was brought over a few minutes later, so that was great customer getting it fixed timely. Once everyone had their correct dish, we dug in and it was crazy delicious. The spice level was perfect and my curry stayed piping hot my entire meal. Despite the small blips in the evening, which I think were due to being short-staffed, we all had a lovely time and I can't wait to come back to try another dish.

I recently tried their chicken and beef pad Thai, and again amazing! They have a really good coconut chicken soup as well if you're not a seafood lover, that I would recommend. And everything is so reasonably priced. If you're going for the first time, maybe go during their lunch hours, for you to try some items at a smaller portion and a slightly smaller price. But you can get a feel for it before you order dinner, at a slightly higher price. Still reasonable just slightly higher. I've not had an opportunity to dine in- I usually order to-go.
