    Nice little place, almost never crowded, has been around for as long as I can remember. It's simple yet delicious! Their lunch specials starts at 5 bucks. The restaurant itself looks old and a bit run down, but did I mention delicious and cheap?

    I usually order from the fancy Thai Restaurant a mile up the street but they were closed. I found my Thailand dream food a mile down the road at Thailand Cafe. I know when food is right when I smile while eating it and my partner was impressed too. I wish I found Thailand Cafe sooner. This Place Rocks for takeout. I rate the quality five star and the amount of food you get is generous. Sometimes hidden treasure is in a simple place and Thailand Cafe is now my Thai Palace. It's all about the food at the end of the day.

    Tasty Thai iced tea and a very friendly owner-
    Have yet to try the food but the price was right that night.
    1.25 for a large beverage- not bad I'd say.

    Very nice man working extremely hard to make sure everything was right. The food was delicious. He was able to make accommodations very easily for my food allergies and the food still tasted great. I recommend getting the spring rolls. They are SO GOOD. Seriously, if you want Thai food then you should go to this place.

    This place is the real deal.  I was dubious the first time I walked into the place, the decor of which might best be described as an expression of minimalist post-industrial existential loneliness.  But perhaps that should've been my first clue that the Thailand cafe is all about the food-- but also--the love, light and pride that shines out of the owner's wisdom-painted eyes.  The chicken coconut soup is amazeballs, as are the drunken noodles, and the handmade dumplings are thick and f'ing delicious.  Every time I go, I feel compelled to tip the owner (and sole employee as far as I've ever seen) extra to make up for how low the prices are, and to express to him my gratitude for his beguiling smile.
