The food was very good. Atmosphere of the restaurant was excellent and the people running it were very friendly.

For reasons I still cannot fully explain, Temple has developed a remarkably strong culinary scene…read more Italian, Mexican, and Thai cuisines are represented there with a level of quality, flavor, and aesthetic presentation that consistently exceeds expectations. I have previously written reviews about Pignetti's and Las Marias. Today, while driving back from Houston to Abilene, I stopped at Thai Café in downtown Temple. What an experience. Moni handled my order, and within minutes, my food was ready. I ordered the summer rolls and the crab noodle soup. The rolls, at first glance, resemble the standard versions you might find at HEB, Kroger, or similar grocery stores. However, what these very thoughtful chefs have done is elevate the dish with a distinctive dipping sauce and the addition of fresh basil, which transforms the rolls into something vibrant and unexpectedly complex. The flavors truly open up in a way that feels intentional and refined. But the real highlight was the crab noodle soup. It made my entire day. Thai Café is about three hours from my home, and I would genuinely consider making that drive on a Sunday just for this bowl of soup. The portion was generous, with abundant crab and noodles, and the broth was rich, layered, and deeply satisfying. I ordered it mild, but to my palate it was not spicy at all. Next time, I will not hesitate to ask for the full heat. If you find yourself in Temple, Thai Café is not optional. It is essential.

Here to update my review with my most recent visit, although the rating hasn't changed. I got the…read morepineapple fried rice this time, and I did enjoy it much more than the pad kee mao or pad Thai. It was fragrant and had good flavour. My friend got steamed vegetables with rice, and the vegetables were unappetizing and bland. We got the mango sticky rice for dessert, which I am normally a big fan of. This one was coloured green, which already threw us off as it looked radioactive or poisonous. The taste was not great either. I've had a lot of mango sticky rice, and this was probably my least favourite of them all. Service wise, our server was friendly but forgetful. She gave us one bill for our table, which we didn't expect because we were evidently three friends, and usually the norm would be to split checks. I didn't see any signs or note in the menu that they don't split checks, so we all thought it was bizarre that she just brought one bill for the table. This is a nice place to sit and chat with friends though as there is plenty of seating and a warm ambience.

I've been knowing about this place for years, but as of recent years I have started eating here…read more There's not many Thai places in Waco, but I would say that this is one of the best Thai places you'll find in Waco. I've been able to try a few of their dishes, like the Pad Kee Mao, and as of recently, their Pad Thai, which I had with shrimp. Every time I've had food from them I have been very impressed. There are foods that I would have been hesitant to try in the past because of unfamiliarity, but thanks to how they make everything taste, I'm eager to try everything. I really love their shrimp pad Thai. It was the best pad Thai that I've had so far! I'm not a huge dessert fan, but they have nice desserts such as the banoffee and fruit sando. If you are a banana pudding lover or a fruity dessert lover, I recommend you try that. They also have great appetizers as well!

I went to Curry Up & Wok This Way (cute name!) while I was visiting Waco. It's in one of the…read morecorners of the Union Food Hall. There are a few tables and chairs that are clean though a bit uncomfortable. Service was great - everyone working was really friendly! They had a dessert banoffee pie in a cup that was fantastic. As for my meal, I ordered the green curry with tofu and veggies. It was incredibly sweet. This is my go-to order, and I've never had one this sweet. It wasn't pleasant. It was also unclear if it was vegetarian or not (with fish sauce or not). My boyfriend got a noodle dish and really enjoyed it! I would say it's hit or miss - with the other options in the food court, I may try something different if I return!

Two I always come back to bookend the same shopping center, Miller's Smokehouse and Narunya's. I have eaten Thai coast to coast. They all claim authenticity, but quality varies widely. Out of all that I've tried, Narunya's is a favorite. The restaurant itself has an interesting layout. There is no parking just for them, so it can be a challenge. There is a small lot on the side, but you have to jump the curb to access it. It has an indoor balcony area with plentiful seating, though I've never seen anyone up there. Every time I've come in, the food is excellently prepared and presented. Service has always been attentive with regular checking to ensure the food is good and my needs met Desserts are magnificent! Really, the only thing that gives it a demerit is the programming on their deplorable credit card machine. It is programmed not only to calculate your tip after tax, but also after the excessive credit card usage fee of 3.5%. So beware and select either custom tip or a lower percentage unless you like giving businesses unearned income.
