We laughed about the item I wanted to order not being available. They were attentive to the older ladies I was with. No complaints. The server is why this is two stars instead of one. Sadly, the food. Sigh. I know all these fusion places are disappointing, but mom wanted to come here. I asked if I could get the salad I wanted without the beef it comes with, but the answer was no. After reading the way too big menu twice, I ordered what I knew would be an incredibly sad drunken noodle. I'm not sure the restaurant knows what drunken noodle is. Does Fuse Box exist in an alternate pocket dimension where drunken noodle, with no listed fusion on the menu other than a strange "contains peanuts" warning, is drenched in a sweet peanut sauce even though it's listed as spicy with two peppers next to it on the menu? Where the noodles are just weird soggy mush? Where the spiciness rating scale might actually be a sweet sugar scale instead? Yes. Yes it does. Don't eat here. Just don't. I refused to eat my food. And not even mom suggesting it again in the distant future when she thinks I've forgotten, or she's forgotten my reaction to the food, will get me to return.

I met a friend for lunch at Thai Cafe on a Saturday. Parking near the restaurant that is part of…read morethe Springfield Mall is frankly a bit challenging. With a little persistence and a short walk, I found a spot. Walking in to the restaurant, there is a small greeting counter. No one was there and so we walked to the back. You don't see the tables when walking into the place, I suspect the kitchen is along side the hallway leading to the tables. The ambiance is friendly, casual with the tables and booths well spaced to provide privacy. The restaurant was relatively empty during our meal and the noise level was comfortable, allowing us to have conversation easily. Thai food is one of my two favorite and I am always looking for a new place to be inspired. I put Thai Cafe on my list of places that I'll return to. I started my meal with Tom Yum Seafood soup. The flavor was really excellent. Two minor things for me: I like soup warm and not hot. For me, the temp was perfect but for other people who like their soup really hot, it probably wasn't hot enough. The other issue is 'how spicy does this restaurant prepare their food?' The soup was 1 pepper, which was a bit milder than I prefer, but accurate. I added a bit more spice. I chose the vegetarian Kapow Pak. The dish is prepared in a brown sauce which frankly isn't my favorite. But it was really good. The veges were fresh, crisp and crunchy, and the tofu was wonderfully lightly fried. The dish is described as medium spicy, reasonably accurate. My friend chose the Pad Woon Sean with chicken. I didn't try it but he said it was a 10/10. The staff were friendly, helpful, and helped me select my dish. This is a family business that's been open for about 30 years. The servers were totally wonderful. I will certainly be back.

Yindee was comfortable and clean. The server, who might have been the owner or manager, was very reserved, unsmiling and not welcoming at all. He was fine at taking my order and bringing out my food, but he never checked up on me. However, another woman in the restaurant called out a friendly thank you as I was leaving. This is a restaurant with a bar, noting that the bar is well-stocked. Unfortunately, FOX News was on the TV behind the bar. At least the sound was off so I didn't have to hear the lies. I ordered Beef Phad Thai and a Thai Iced Coffee. The Beef Phad Thai was outstanding, really delicious with plenty of beef and just a little scallion. Loved the scrambled egg on top. Probably some of the best Phad Thai I've ever had! The Phad Thai came with a complimentary egg roll that was accompanied by fresh greens with a delightful light ginger dressing. Normally it seems chefs go overboard with ginger, but here's an example of using just the right amount. The Thai Iced Coffee came in a generous portion, but had an odd bitter flavor. The great Phad Thai is what motivates me to come back. If it wasn't for the Phad Thai, this review would have been three stars.

Really wish we didn't order so much everything was terribly low quality and tasted poorly. Spicy tuna and spicy yellowtail had an odd texture as if they cut it with something in order for it to go further. Yakisoba needed more sauce and seasoning it was super bland. Rolls had tons of imitation crab and tasted bland. Nothing was fresh. For all the nigiri and sashimi, it tasted so bland and lacked freshness that we actually needed to chop it up and turn it into poke just to make it edible. We tossed it in a ponzu sauce over rice and with all the toppings made it decent just to stomach it. Total was $94 for everything and I don't have one good thing to say. Will not be back at all.

The food was excellent and the reason why I gave this place 4 stars. We stopped here for a brief & small dinner of appetizers before going to the movies. We ordered summer rolls and calamari. The food was well prepared. The calamari was the best I ever had. The summer rolls were good but not the best I ever had. These were the highlights. The downside: Glasses & dishwater looked old. Scratch or wear marks on rims of glasses. The ice water they gave us tasted like it came from a faucet or unfiltered. There were no happy hour drink specials or dining specials. Service was quick to seat us yet slow in taking our orders. Even though the calamari was the best I ever had and the highlights of this restaurant, I was not compelled to re-visit this place as soon as possible like other restaurants in the past. There are other Thai places in the area that offer excellent prices for excellent & larger quantities of food with dining specials. Yet this place is convenient and close to the movie theater and stores . The food is excellent to good for fair prices as well

Used to like this place a while back when I lived nearby. Passing through the area and decided to…read morestop in again. I had been craving Thai and was excited to eat in one of my former go-to's but I was shockingly surprised and disappointed at how bad this place has gone downhill. Ordered the YUM woon sen and the noodles were so dry they were stiff. There was NO sauce as you would expect, and barely any flavor at all. Total waste of money and didn't even eat it. I was hoping this was a mistake and that the PAD woon sen would be better. The noodles weren't dried out but again there was very little flavor at all. You could barely tell it was even pad woon sen. Not to mention that all of the portions seem to have shrunk while prices have gone up, some insanely so! Biggest shock was when the bill came. $25.45 for the smallest portion you've ever seen. Most other Thai places charge $16-$18 for this dish and a much bigger size with better flavor. Insulting. Waste of time, waste of money. It's a shame how they have

It was the best decision I've made all month. There is something about a woman-owned gem that just hits the spot--the attention to detail, the welcoming energy, and of course, the incredible food. The moment you walk in, the aesthetic sets the mood. The teal wood-paneled walls paired with those gorgeous woven basket pendant lights draped in cherry blossoms? Absolute magic. It's chic, cozy, and felt like a little escape. I went all out on the menu and wasn't disappointed: * Chive Dumplings: These were the star of the show. Perfectly crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and served with a savory dipping sauce that I could have finished with a spoon. * Vegetable Soup: Light, clear, and packed with fresh, vibrant veggies. It was the perfect "reset" bowl. * Crab Fried Rice: They did not skimp on the crab! It was fresh, fluffy, and paired perfectly with a cold, crisp Singha beer. Whether you're celebrating a holiday or just need to romanticize your life with some top-tier Thai food, this is the place. The service was lovely, the Mother's Day special menu was a thoughtful touch, and the atmosphere is 10/10. Chef's kiss. I'll definitely be back!
