Thai Cafe

My husband wanted to try this place out.
I can say I liked it more than the other 2 Thai places we’d tried previously.
Seems like a whole in the wall place.
The food came out quick and everything was pretty good.
The service was good as well and they were very nice.
We’ll definitely be back.

After a pretty horrible day and skipping breakfast and lunch, I googled for food near me, saw Thai with a good rating from newer reviews, and stopped in here.
I’ve passed this place many times, and it’s definitely and older building from businesses long ago but once inside you wouldn’t know that! 🌅 It’s like going from the outside to inside there’s a vibe change, right down to the funky rendition of California Dreamin’. Inside there are fresh plants and even the bathroom is spruced up with pretty faux flowers (and super big, clean, for cleaning up or changing your kid, even a spare chair if you been running around and just need to sit a minute.
lol can’t believe how impressed I was with the bathroom but again compared to age of the building outside and part of town it’s in, what a PLEASANT shock! These ladies at Thai Cafe take PRIDE! 💖), paintings of Thai culture as well as a tv and some photos of their foods.
There are about 10 tables that sit 4-8 people, with another 10 or so that sit two.
The ambiance is bright with soft yellow and white topping off the good vibes. Food? Ohhhh yes, food! In the menu are pictures so you can see what to order; I ordered the sweet and sour chicken dish with fried egg and steamed rice.
It came with daikon soup that was mild, piping hot in temperature, and delicious.
I kept the spice level suggested in the menu (mild) even tho I usually like high spice, and it was just enough to give a kick without any heartburn.
The portion size was generous and check out the coloring on that fried egg, cooked to a perfect over easy.
Rice was not too soft or too hard; not sure what rice they use but I would definitely eat it again.
I was also happy that among the mountain of chicken, you could see good portion of the veg too.
Mine had jalapeño, pineapple, tomatoes, and - who woulda thought warm ones were so good?! - cucumbers. Service for my table start to finish was by a woman named Liila (say: Lee-lah) and she was sweet and attentive without being overbearing, and very positive and inviting both about the place and also when I asked her about a flyer for what turns out is her Buddhist Temple.
If everyone there is as cool as her, you may see a review from me there. Liila told me that Thai Cafe has been open since 🤯 1998; my only regret for this experience was that I wish I came here sooner.
Don’t wait, GO! Make them thrive for another 30 years!!

The food was absolutely delicious.
It was spicy which I enjoyed especially in this cold weather you want something hot like that for your body.
I honestly can't wait to take my husband here so he could try some.
