The spring rolls were good but everything else just seemed off. I'm am shocked at any review over 2 for this place. Mabey there was a change of ownership or cooks since the previous reviews. The ingredients that were used weren't right even though the spices seemed to be ok. There might have been Thai spoken in the kitchen but I'm not sure. If they presented themselves as a Thai-Asian-fusion restaurant it might have been ok. But to present the food as Thai is not correct. More like a Thai person cooking food with western groceries. The food just didn't seem Thai. The waitstaff never came by to ask and I really didn't want to tell them how bad everything tasted. We had take out and it ended up in the trash. That kind of sums it up. read more

Love their Cashew Chicken, but the atmosphere is sketchy. Wish they would spruce this place up. From the parking lot to the inside, it's in some disrepair, but the food is great. Wish they'd move to a nicer place. Always crowded for lunch. Guess other people don't mind the funky atmosphere and I don't mean funky in a good way. read more

I only had the Tom kha. So, the other foods may have been amazing, but the tom kha, while spicy enough & acceptably flavorful, was just not anywhere near authentic. The ambiance was lackluster & I normally adore little hole in the wall type places. The staff was nice enough, but 5 minutes until closing time, they presented the check & declared it "time to go". Which was fine, we had been waiting for the check anyhow, but I have to think there's a more polite way to dismiss paying customers. I'm not from the area, but based on the soup alone, I wouldn't return. read more

This place is okay at best. Service is slow but we got everything and the waitress was friendly. I would skip the appetizers, they are tiny and tasteless. The entrees were okay a little on the sweet side for some. The curry has good flavor just seems watered down. No real spice levels here, everything comes out the same. Overall probably won't be back unless I can't find a better Thai place in the area. read more

My husband loved loved loved the Mussaman curry! Can't stop raving about it. Very clean restaurant with super nice service. Go Cleburne! We don't live close but we'll go again! read more

Really Really good Thai food! The Tom Kha Kai was amazing! The Pad-See-Ew was delicious!! Will definitely be our new regular place! read more

Hidden gem! I love this place. Service is prompt, management is friendly, and the food is delicious. I most recently had the red curry chicken. Yum. Sauce was creamy. Ingredients, fresh. I ate every bit. If you are in the area, definitely give it a try. I hope this place makes it in Cleburne. I would be sad to see it go. Call before you go. It's very frustrating to drive 30 min only to find this place is closed (when Yelp says it's open.) read more

They can be a little slow during peak lunch time but the wait is worth the flavor for the cooked fresh when you order meals! This is a family owned restaurant and they are a friendly and caring family. It may be the only Thai food in Johnson County but people regularly come from the metroplex just to eat HERE, because it's that good. I love their Panang Curry while my wife goes for the Mussaman Curry and its potato chunks. The Cashew Chicken, Spring Rolls, fried Bananas, Pad See Ew, Fried Rice, soups, and the Black Pepper are some of our favorites. They have Thai Iced Tea which was new to me but I enjoy it from time to time. The pink lemonade is refreshing too. Overall money well spent here. You want glitz and glamour go somewhere else. You want excellent food and service this is the place. read more

Love this place...they bring you soup that looks like dishwater but try it, it is very good. If you say mild it will be mild no spice. Ask for the shaker and spice it to taste. Only problem the egg rolls need to be bigger... read more

A taste of Thailand in small town cleburne! Every dish we've ever had here is superb and the service is excellent as well. Super nice family owned restaurant! read more

Have eaten here for a number of years. Never had a bad meal. Service has always been prompt and friendly. I always have the N4 Pad See Ew and wife usually has the Pad Thai. Friends have eaten other dishes on the menu and have given it a thumbs up. Not a fancy plus but who cares when the food is that good. Worth a stop if your a local or passing through. read more

We alway have a great time here. My husband is Thai and he says the food always hits the spot. We eat a lot of Thai food in our house so its nice to have a place in a small town like Cleburne to go out to eat to where my kids like everything :) read more

This place is a hidden treasure! Everything is so fresh and flavorful. Absolutely delicious! Thai Garden Cafe has raised the bar for Cleburne! This place is on my "crave list." The pad Thai is my favorite, but the curries are delicious as well. Definitely the best place to eat in this area. Let me just tell you.. I search for Thai places in the metroplex that compare with this one and... It's very hard to beat. I wish they were open for dinner every night instead of just Thurs and Fri. The atmosphere is very calm and quaint, the exterior is a little..rough.. But just go right on in anyway! You won't regret it. The owner is a very sweet man who says he married a Thai lady (I'm assuming she is the chef) and he treats his customers like family. One thing I love about this place is the authenticity. There is a Buddhist tradition of a little offering on the front desk of milk and fruit to those souls who are passing through to the next life. I find that very reverent and thoughtful. Makes me feel like my soul is being fed as well as my body. Little touches like that are apparent throughout the entire Thai Garden experience. read more

This is a nice quiet little place that's a little out of site of the common eye. The building isn't the best but that doesn't stop you from having a top notch experience! The food and service were excellent! I loved their wantons that were done quite well and the soups are fantastic! Anything that you get you'll enjoy! The noodle plates are amazing! They are very flexible with their options as well. For instance you can select whatever type of meat you want with your dish and if you're a vegetarian like myself then you can either pick tofu or just have no meat in it all together. They staff is very helpful,friendly, and polite. My waiter gave me a good recommendation since I was a vegetarian and she was on point and I loved it! An additional plus is that there is a Pokemon gym right outside! Go Valor! #teamred! read more

Unplanned visit to cleburne brought us to this small restaurant with extremely friendly hosts. The place is not mind blowing or beautiful but their food speaks for itself. Being an Indian I've been craving for spicy food for the last two years and for the first time I found something as spicy as red chilies itself we came as a group of five and we ordered a drunken noodles and the four currys that they serve and we asked them to fill it up with spice. The aesthetics weren't as great as what you find in some top notch expensive restaurants but the taste was something you would never complain off. The food was divine and services were quite good and the hosts also gave us some good tips to avoid traffic ;) read more

Got the Panang curry and it was strange, consistency was all wrong- oily? Not sweet like it typically has a hint of. I didnt ecpect much authenticity being in Cleburne. However, everything else was awesome. So go back and try other things. The Thai tea is phenomenal. read more

Awesome Red Curry & Rachel was the perfect server! Off Main St in Cleburne. Looks like a hole in the wall but the good is delicious. I'll be back & I highly recommend it! read more

Fantastic food! I have been there 3 times and every time it was awesome! The atmosphere is not great but food is so worth it. Survive is great every time I have been there. read more

One of my favorite places to eat! My only complaint is the hours. I understand why the hours are the way they are due to economics. I just love the food so much I want more access to it! read more

This a little, hidden, Texas, Thai gem! I just dropped in for lunch and had the Tom Yum Gai with Jasmine rice. It was fresh, delicious and packed with veggies. Substantial enough on its own for lunch. I was delighted. It was very busy for lunch at 12:30, but service was very attentive. Only thing I wish they had was sticky rice :-/ Also, the medium spicy was perfect! I just barely broke a sweat :) read more

A surprise! I went for lunch with my 4 children. First, the ambience...very clean, very plain. The service...awesome! May seem a little slow, but that's because the food is freshly prepared, it's a small business, have patience. Each of us had very specific orders, and they accommodated our changes and requests without any errors! Great fresh veggies, appropriate portion sizes, we were all pleased. The kids were especially happy that their meals came with a dessert! read more

Delicious and the staff was super nice! We had the Pad Thai and the Cashew Chicken. Both were great.

We absolutely loved this place and the people just put it over the top! Weena, Waree, their mom and dad and Sonja are just the best. We almost always get the Pad Thai because it's just that good! The lunch soup is addicting too read more

This is a nice little restaurant with friendly service and delicious food. We had the cashew chicken and panang curry chicken. Both were excellent! read more

I went here not knowing what to expect, but holy cow - super good food! Many Asian restaurants I've gone to seem a far cry from authentic. This place is the real deal. The server was kind and helpful, and the food was amazing. I definitely plan to go again soon. read more

Food is great, I personally enjoyed the atmosphere of their previous location, but this one is good. It just gets crowded busy.

Besides being able to support a local joint, I love eating here because the food is great! I order the pad Thai and though it's a little pricy, the portion is big. The staff are always really friendly and accommodating. I think the atmosphere of the restaurant could be improved but over all, it's a great place to grab a bite and I would recommend it to anybody in the area. read more

Yet another great place for mouth watering Asian cuisine in Cleburne, Tx. Thai Garden is a family owned restaurant that offers some of the best Thai food you can get in the area. The staff is friendly and makes for a pleasant experience every time I've visited. Make sure to try the Thai tea next time you go. read more

What an amazing find- thank you Yelp!! Absolutely delicious! Was in town only for a few days and feeling dismayed at choices of food when I stumbled upon this place on Yelp... was a bit skeptical looking at the location but also thought it was the perfect scenario for a hidden gem... which it was! I tried to go back the next day but they close early Saturday and closed on Sunday... otherwise I would have eaten here every night I was in the area. Thank you Thai Garden!! read more

Not the best Thai food. I love Thai food and this just didn't have much flavor for my taste.

This place disappointed me. Based on the reviews I had higher expectations. I really dislike giving poor reviews especially to independently owned businesses. $15.70 for so so spicy beef Pad Thai. No prices on the online menu and wasn't given a price after ordering. Pad Thai is a dish I crave and most often order. Second choices Tom Kha Gai or Khao Koi. For 15.70 should have come with limes, more meat, veggies and more flavorful sauce. I was told to wait 20-25. When I arrive the place was almost empty besides one couple and one lady waiting for a to go order. The building inside and out is lacking. If the food made up for it I wouldn't care! I do not live near by and will not be back by. read more

Pad Thai & the soup are delicious. Wonderful food. Parking can get tight. Spice level can be ordered as desired

The food is decent but to be honest, it's so different than actual Thai food. I am a food lover and I know lies when they tell it. They say that their little complimentary soup is vegetarian? I saw chicken particles. Also, there is a man who works there -- I've seen him on more than one occasion. I think he is the owner.. he does not leave me alone when I eat. I have also seen how he talks to the other waitresses and it's very condescending. If you're paying attention the atmosphere overall is not good. I pity the waitresses because they put on a smile but I can tell that the main guy is rude towards them. If you stay there over 30 minutes.. they make comments about how you took a long time. It just doesn't make me want to eat there if I have to eat under a set of rules. Also, I SPEAK THAI. I lived in Thailand for 10 years, and the workers in the kitchen speaking Thai, are not happy to make the food. They speak badly of their employees AND THEIR CUSTOMERS!!! But very friendly to my face. Obviously, if they don't need our service, why bother giving it. There are plenty of other Thai restaurants that are much more pleasing. read more

We stopped to eat here on our way to glenrose. It didnt look like much from the outside but don't let that fool you. The waitress and the owner were nice and helped us figure out what to order. We had the panang curry with beef, black pepper pork, and cashew chicken. We liked everything and were even raving over the starter soup and the little side springrolls. They score a zero for ambiance but the people and the food made our vist great. We will be back. read more

Small portions I ate there yesterday . I had the roughly $ 10.00 Thai Basil meal - '' dinner size '' ,expecting a good heaping helping ... but it was quite small served on what amounts to a child's plate, not much larger than a good sized saucer. The vegetables were cut into VERY small pieces although there WAS a fair amount of good tasting chicken in it .The $6.00 spring rolls are about the size of a Vienna sausage from a can. The waitress was VERY attentive though- perhaps TOO much so , really . Maybe I need to show them a standard dinner plate and see if they can increase the amount of food for the money they charge.... . read more

Truly authentic Thai food in Cleburne? ABSOLUTELY!! This place is awesome. Make sure to try it.

Service is excellent. The food is fresh and yummy. If you are a fan of spicy you will fins lots of dishes with good heat. One of the best Thai restaurants I have been too. read more

I'm a HUGE fan of this place! It's so wonderful to have excellent Thai food in the Joshua/Cleburne area. And this place is a hidden gem! I wish they were open more often, but I have nothing to complain about. Their food is absolutely delicious. My favorites are the Chicken Tom Kha Kai soup and the Pad See Ew with pork or beef. You can't go wrong with any dish on the menu. read more

I love this place! The food is authentic and made to order. Fast service and very clean place. Owner is a very sweet, hard working gentleman dedicated to giving you a great Thai meal experience. Just wish they were open all the time! read more
