Thai Cafe

Had lunch at Thai Cafe on Friday. We eat here pretty regularly, but I've never written a review. I had the pad thai with tofu AND..YES,  ANNNND the Thom Ka soup (entree portion). Yeah, leftovers for the weekend of course. The owner actually came out with the server to ensure I really ordered two entrees. That was a bit embarrassing, but I understand it's customary to order only one entree. Haha.

Everything was very good. I also got soup with my entree (Thom Yum I think) and it was easily one of the best I've had. Threw the slaw and the crunchy noodles in the bowl and ate it right up. I don't even know if the slaw is supposed to go into the soup, but I'm glad I tried it!

I do prefer my pad thai with more veggies, but it was still among the best in the city.

4 stars say "I'm a fan"...indeed, I am.

The reviews don't lie. Pad Thai was great (spicy level 2 was just enough). Jasmine tea was a nice compliment to it. Also like that you get soup or salad (slaw) with your meal. I got the salad, which was quite tasty. Portion sizes on entrees are generous. The service was quick and friendly. Will definitely be back!

I have been here a couple times, and now know what to look forward to. The soup is definitely a shining star. The hot red pepper oil spots floating on top are spectacular and make the soup sing. The little crispy rice noodles they serve on the side are a heavenly crunchy accoutrement to the soup.

Here is where life gets confusing. I mapped this out last time to make sure i get this right next time. They have a number on the menu that is both Pad Sew Eee (spelling is completely botched) and Drunken Noodles. Everytime, I am convinced it is Pad Sew Eee that i like. NO, it is the pefectly noodley delicious-ness that I happened to order once that is Drunken Noodles. I highly recommend this dish.

I have tried a few appetizers, but honestly, save yourself some time and just get the soup and some delicious entree.
