    Plate from lunch buffet
    Darian C.

    We went for the lunch buffet and I thought the veggies, spring rolls and noodles were so good. The only reason I didn't give it a 5 star was because I thought all the meat was a bit dry and the curry was a bit watery and tasted a bit weird to me. The service was great. Even though there was a lot of people we didn't have to wait long and the food still tasted fresh. It was a bit crowded inside because the tables are close and the buffet area is smaller but it still looked clean.

    The food is always fresh and delicious at Thai Cafe. The servers/owners are super sweet and efficient at what they do and one of the servers knows I always order a small Thai tea when I come i . Lucky me! If you're going for the buffet, be sure to read the rules before you get started!

    Chicken Fried Rice and Sweet Sticky Rice (missing the Fresh sliced mangos)

    Did a mobile pickup order and the food was made fast and it was delicious. The chicken fried rice was a solid 4/5 for me. The reason for the 3 stars is for the desert I ordered. I ordered the Sweet sticky rice which in the description says comes with fresh sliced mangos. Well they forgot the mangos which was a bummer. I tried calling them twice and they didn't answer.

    The food is so good, it got me to eat at a buffet Didn't realize there was a to-order menu, I'm gonna come back next time and just do that. The flavors are so authentic. I'm looking around the restaurant and there's a bunch of people sweating from the spice with red faces. But they just keep going. I love it. Also there's sherbet and mango sticky rice for dessert. S/O to the chef, I will definitely be back.

    Combo rolls
    Keely M.

    10 out of 10! I love me a good hole in the wall restaurant. They're always the best! The combo rolls are so good with the cheese being my favorite! Thai tea was such a surprise for my tastebuds. It got better with every gulp! Pad Thai was so good and sweet with a great peanut flavor. The combo rice... omg. That was the most moist rice I've ever had. Amazing!!! The food came out so quickly. I've seen reviews complaining about the price, but look how much you get! I didn't think it was expensive at all. Took a bunch home! We will definitely be back! Merry Christmas!

    Lunch special: Chicken Pad woon sen
    Nguyen T.

    I went there because I think they have lunch buffet. But they do not do it anymore. I ordered lunch special chicken pad woon sen. I got the clear soup with some daikon in it. And I did not like it. But the entree is huge and delicious. It came with 1 cheese roll and 1 veggie roll. The cheese roll is one of the best cheese I've ever had.

    Lunch Buffet

    Seriously the best!! I visited the Thai Cafe at 11:30am to try out their lunch buffet. I got there before it started to get crowded so that I did not have to wait in line at the buffet. I was greeted and sat right away. It's a small buffet with everything needed to enjoy a satisfying meal. The cold beef salad and pumpkin soup were probably my favorite dishes! I was so stuffed! Everything I tried was delicious and the service was great! Make sure you get there before the lunch crowd shows up as it is a pretty quaint place.

    Chicken Larb, spring rolls and rice. Excellent!
    Juan V.

    Excellent food! I haven't been here in years... Food is so fresh and tastes amazing! I had the chicken larb which was excellent, I remember it when it was on the buffet. And then the last time I went I ordered the beef salad and it was delicious! I'm going to make this restaurant into my weekly routine of restaurants. If you're looking for good fresh Thai food, this is the place for you! Oh, they no longer have the buffet. I love Thai Dee, don't get me wrong but this place is good as well!!!

    Line for the buffet.
    LaRonda G.

    3.5 stars. Since the restaurant reopened the buffet, it has been a popular topic in SA. I haven't eaten here since before Covid-19, so I decided to give it another try. When we arrived, there was a line outside the door waiting to get in. The dining room is an average size, but with the buffet, the space is having a hard time accommodating everyone. The staff is friendly, and they try to be attentive, but they are slammed with customers. The buffet is a good concept but hard to execute, especially in SA. It starts on the dessert end, which is a little odd. The food is fresh and there is a good variety to choose from. People can be relentless when it comes to a buffet so much so that they have a sign with rules on it that you can clearly tell they experienced issues before. The food taste was okay, I definitely like some items better than others. However, I am very picky about my Thai food. So my opinion on that is subjective. It's not a bad meal if it's not packed in there.

    Medium spicy chicken Padd Thai -- Inedible funky spicy
    Krista L.

    I ordered unsweet iced tea & the lunch chicken Padd Thai medium spicy. It came with a cup of soup of the day and 1 cheese roll & 1 egg roll. The soup was bland tinted water with slight pieces of overcooked celery. It looked like sink water. The Padd Thai was fairly inedible. Thai food should be sweet, salty, spicy, and sour. There were only 2 overwhelming flavors: a funky fish sauce and the hot Chiles. Unfortunately a sign on the door said no refunds for food ordered that is too spicy for your enjoyment. Essentially, eat at your own risk when ordering spicy. I assumed medium would be ok. I was wrong even though I love spicy food. Usually if the other flavors in the dish are delicious, then I will eat passed the spicy burn and enjoy. There wasn't any reward to eating this beyond self-flagellation for my sins. On the bright side ... The tea and rolls were good.

    How much is the lunch buffet?

    It was about $15 as recently as October 2024

    Anyone know if they offer buffet to go?

    At the moment we do not have buffet due to COVID19, we are only serving out of our menu.

    So? I'm a traveling foodie! I miss my Birth town. When any of you travel to Texas. In San Antonio!…read more You must try this place for Thailand Food American Style! The employees knew I was very picky when I order my dishes. The service!! Perfection every moment I walked through their doors. Sit for awhile. Enjoy the authentic flavors that this restaurant brings to the community. Even the artwork. The service is top-notch. Do I miss my old restaurants. Yes, I do. Do I hold everybody in America to high standards. Yes, I do. If you travel, and if you live there. This is the best authenticity of Thailand, American food. If you want to know where to go for the best. Order the Curries add Spice Yum. This place is it Thank You. Five Stars Always!!!!!

    Came here after noticing they had a Northern Burmese curry as I never pass up on the chance to try…read moreadditional Burmese dishes. It was a jungle style curry (no coconut milk) and was definitely one of the best jungle style curries I have had. It had a very interesting and complex flavor. It was a bit pricey and the waitresses forgot we asked for vegetables and not just tofu but it was really delicious. We also got the sticky rice with taro wrapped in banana leaf dessert: Sticky rice soaked in coconut milk and sugar with taro wrapped in banana leaves, then steamed. It was so really delicious. The restaurant is located right near the excellent McNay Art Museum- fun outing together. My general rating system: 1 star: I would stay away 2 stars: Has some good things about it but I generally don't recommend. 3 stars: Pretty good. I wouldn't go out of my way to go back but a decent place 4 stars: Great place. I would go back. 5 stars: I highly recommend stopping whatever you are doing and making plans to try it out! An Evie favorite!
