1 was charged $78.00 for this, I would not have minded had the food quality reflected the price. The papaya salad was soggy, the pad Thai was gummy no sauce and bland. The massaman curry was watery and overly sweet , the fresh spring roll had little tone no rice noodles and crumbles of tofu, unlike the pictures. Overall very disappointed with quality. read more

Anchan Thai - a variety of food items on a table - Thai Near Me - Longmont, Colorado

Amazing! Best Thai food in Colorado. Must try. Family owned. We had the Rangoon, pad Thai, Tom yum and tea leaf salad- all fantastic!

I'd seen the great reviews, and wanted to try this new place. I've had Thai food in the Denver area many times, but didn't have a go-to in Longmont. I ordered the green curry, my husband had the Rad Na. Both with tofu. I asked for mild. It was so hot, though I tried for a while, I was turning red. This was not the mild I'm used to! I finally had to give up. My husband's dish was excellent. I helped him finish it. Lovely sauce, noodles, and veggies. When the owner(?)Annie, heard, she came out and spoke to us. She explained that she makes the curries in the genuine manner. But, she said that she can make it less hot with more coconut, and told me to ask for her next time, and she will take care of me. So I will! On top of removing my curry from the bill, she brought us a dish of anchan coconut ice cream with mango and peanuts, gratis, asked our opinion, as she is experimenting with the recipe, and also comped the anchan tea! That ice cream was amazing, vegan with coconut palm sugar! Perfect for me! We tipped what we think the bill would have been with everything. She obviously wants to get us to come back, and we will! read more

Excellent Thai! First time in and ordered take out this evening. Food is delicious, staff is polite and helpful, service was very quick, and the fresh spring rolls are HUGE. As big as chipotle burritos. They are meals all by themselves. We will be back to sit and be served. read more

I've read through all the 5-star reviews but I can't give that rating. I agree Longmont NEEDS a good Thai food restaurant. I also agree that the people are extremely nice and caring. They appear to be doing a huge takeout business compared to dine-in and it showed by how much food was flying out of the kitchen to the entrance (on a Friday). I was a little frustrated that a table of 3 next to us and came in 20 minutes later than us got their food before us. We did NOT order anything complicated (Pad Thai and Tom Kha soup.) And I know they did not order ahead. Blue flower drink + lime juice sweetener was a surprising and fun treat to start. I agree with another reviewer that everything had a generally sweet flavor. Pad Thai Chicken was okay but choosing 4-star heat wasn't spicy. Portion size and amount of chicken was lacking too. I appreciate they ask if you want peanuts or not for obvious reasons. I wish they included a side of fresh vegetables (bean sprouts or cabbage) on the plate to contrast the oil of the noodles. We ate the garnish to break up the sweetness. Ordering a Pad Thai vegetable dish means they only add more vegetables already in the dish. I wish they would add other vegetables that would complement the noodles and substitute for protein. Tom Kha (Gai) - was just okay. I believe it is missing a lot of spices (some you can't eat but add a ton of flavor.) Again 4-star heat was more like 2 or 3 star heat. We ordered the smaller size and had enough for 2.5 small bowls of soup. My bottom line is we will try again but as far as I can tell, it's not the new must-visit Thai food restaurant (yet?) read more

It's about time Longmont has a good "Go to" Thai restaurant! My family has eaten here many times! The food is exceptionally good. Annie the owner/chef goes above and beyond to cook the meals authentically and to order. FYI: traditional Thai food is meant to be eaten hot and ready. Not as a take out or delivery option. So for all the uneducated people giving low star or bad reviews for take out Pad Thai or another dish with rice noodles. GET EDUCATED! Of course your noodles are going to be a bit sticky and gummy. They are absorbing all the sauce as it sits in your car on the way home. If your looking for fast food go to Taco Bell. Traditional home cooked Thai can take time. And this is the best place to experience it locally. Spicy levels Can be anywhere from non existent to insanely hot. You just need to know to ask for what you want. Definitely go and try this amazing place! read more

Exactly what we needed around the area... much better than China gourmet. Super tasty food. If they could add a simple kid's menu would be amazing and we would come more often. read more

It's sooooo good you have to try it!!! Desserts are absolutely amazing The owner is originally from Thailand and she really knows what she's doing!!! read more

Anchan Thai - Desserts - Thai Near Me - Longmont, Colorado

We ordered level one spice on three dishes -- they define level one as a spice level of "none". This was take out. I got our order home and discovered that two of the dishes were quite spicy. Definitely not no heat. We called the restaurant and was basically told we don't know what we're talking about. The cook said they didn't put any spice in our dishes. Then why were there hot chili specks through out?!!! Why did the food burn our tongues. They could have offered to check it out themselves but no they did not. They just said that at some point the owner would call us back. No acknowledgment that it's quite a bummer to pay $80 for dinner and not get to eat. Definitely will not be back. If you select level one on the spice level be prepared that you may get very spicy food and be blamed for it. I have an addition to make. The owner called and took the route of insulting us that we obviously have never had Thai food before -- because Thai food is spicy. I don't need a lecture on spicy food. I have eaten Thai food here all over in the front range area, in San Francisco and in New York City. I know how to order my food so I get the heat level I can take and I like. I have never had a problem before until tonight. They have several levels of spicy they offer. We chose level one which on their web site says: NONE. Maybe there is a language barrier. In English None means zero. It's pretty simple and straight forward. Be forewarned that at this restaurant "none" actually means a heat level of what most restaurants would call a level 3, definitely spicy hot. More than this issue around spice level, what was most disturbing was their insulting nature and lack of any capacity to listen and be curious. They could have simply said, oh I'm so sorry, please bring it in so we can double check what we're doing here. read more

Absolutely fantastic Thai food. Moving from Boulder where everything is overpriced and mediocre at best, Longmont food scene has been incredible. We were used to Aloy Thai which is just average but it was our only good option in Boulder. I did not have high hopes for Thai food in Longmont but this is some of the best Thai food I've had. Large portions, well priced, over the top flavor. read more

We were 5 who ordered takeout - 4 curries and 1 fried rice. All were ordered with meat (chicken and crab for the fried rice). The 3 panang orders were all different (different spice levels, different add-ons), but nothing was labelled. It took some time and spooning through the curries to figure whose order was which. While the curries were flavorful, the lack of chicken was really disappointing. One order had a SINGLE piece of chicken, the size of a postage stamp. Another order had NO chicken. All curries had been ordered "with chicken." Similarly, the fried rice had ONE piece of crab. We're not planning to order from them again. read more

Absolutely the best Thai food in Boulder County. The food is fresh, rightly spiced, well crafted & never disappoints. In particular, the commitment to Gluten Free dishes is what got us to try them the first time, & I'm so glad we did. Now, I CRAVE the massamun & the fish cakes. read more

This is my favorite Thai restaurant in the area. They have several options that you may not find on other Thai menus. Some of my favorites are the Rad Na, and Tea Leaf Salad. If you are spice sensitive, I would order with less spice than you may be used to, as this will allow you to experience the fresh flavors of the dish. The ambiance is comfortable with many Thai touches. The staff are also friendly and attentive. Anchan Thai is a great addition to the Boulder County food scene. read more

WOW, this is the Real Deal ... authentic Thai food!! We met the owner / head chef and she IS Thai, a refreshing change. The food is fabulous and portion sizes are on the generous side (but we finished out meals, just too hummy to not finish!). We will go out of our way to cme back here! read more

Food is delicious!!! The head chef is from Thailand so that will tell you a lot right there!!! Gluten free options and no MSG upon request. It's easier to make modifications if it's not busy. We have been here twice and it did not disappoint. Definitely check it out! We will for sure go back again! Cute little place off the beaten path. Go! You will not be disappointed!! So happy this place is in Longmont! read more

Really fresh, clearly homemade. The best Thai food in Longmont green curry and pad Kragerud pao were especially good

Best Thai in Longmont. Used to go to Urban Thai in prospect but the quality there was inconsistent. Anchan's food is way better and consistently great read more

Stunning... Ordered Tom Kha Gai soup and the balance was superb; just the right amount of coconut, galangal and kaffir. For me it was just a touch too much on the sweet side, but that is me trying really hard to find a single flaw in this dish. They started us with some anchan tea with lime juice on the side which was a huge hit with my almost 5 year old. When the color changed from blue to purple (his favorite color) he almost jumped out of his seat. "It's like science daddy!" He loved the flavor and made sure to savor it throughout the entire meal. I ordered drunken noodles for my lil guy and he loved it. I ordered the pineapple curry with shrimp thinking I could share with him, but it started with some spice even ordered at the mildest. So yeah, it's a real red curry; something I oddly did not expect. He still took some small tastes in spite of the spice and absolutely loved it. Had I known, however, I would have gone Thai hot and kept it all to myself. Even mild it was beautiful. I also have to say, never before have I ever had shrimp so delicately cooked... No really, anywhere at any restaurant. It melted in my mouth. Now, this is where I will gush about eating here, something you just wouldn't expect... The rice... Oh my!!! You forget and become numb to the rice you are used to being served, that when you finally get served perfectly tender perfectly cooked rice where every grain stands out, you almost forget to notice. You can almost downplay the artistry in the food... "Have I been fooled into believing this is perhaps is the best Thai food I've ever eaten? Will it stand the test of time?" The rice however just doesn't lie. This is really something very special. read more

The food was excellent. A little bit sweeter than I like but it was very good. The service was very good too. I would recommend this place for Thai food in Longmont. read more

I've eaten a lot of Thai food, and this was not the best representation for me. The food was lackluster.

I don't normally leave reviews, but this required my attention. The food was sooo good. It's authentic thai food! The couple who started the place were so sweet. The wife lived (or grew up--can't remember) in thailand and cooks the dishes based on what she learned from her grandmother. She came out a couple times to ask how the meal was, and she told us about the background of some of the food. She's so sweet! She sent us some complimentary dishes as well. The husband waited on us, and he was really nice too! This place is soo great! They just got started up so please please check them out! It's totally worth it!! Try the Anchan ice cream too! read more

Excellent new Thai restaurant on the SW side of Longmont. The service was impeccable and the food was so good. They rate spiciness on a scale from 1-6, and even the 2 was a bit spicey for me. The curries are the real deal. I plan to go back and try each one. The fresh spring rolls were the best I've ever had. read more

MSG BEWARE!! I had no idea restaurant's still use MSG. I had a headache for 2 days after eating there. Some of their sauces have it, ask first if you are allergic, it is a neurotoxin and should not be in food. Also, the spice level is WAY off. We ordered Thai Hot on a couple of our dishes and it was medium at best. The mild dishes were mild. We asked for extra chili powder but never received it. read more

Great Flavor! we have spent alot of time in Thailand and loved this place. Perfect amount of spice!

Wonderful and plentiful food! The tea is delicious and exciting to watch the colors change.

Great hot food and service!!! We ordered take out and it was fabulous. Location is not ideal but worth the drive and park.

One of the tastiest Thai places I have ever been. Fresh ingredients with ample size portions compared to other Thai places. The service was great as well. The best Tom Kha soup I have ever tasted by a long shot. Everything we tasted was out of this world good so I will become a regular even though I'll be driving from Greeley to do it. read more

We had such a delicious meal at Anchan last night! Our server was a delight, and steered us to order excellent dishes. We started our meal with a complimentary authentic Thai drink made from purple Thai flowers that was pure fun. The giant spring rolls were the best ever with a wonderful mild peanut sauce. The drunken noodles were delicious. And we had never had massaman curry before, having been in the routine of always ordering green curry, -- it was delicious! They just opened a few weeks ago and we want them to be successful and continue to provide tasty and super fresh, authentic Thai food in a pleasant atmosphere with personable service. read more

We just ate at Anchan Thai and I am going to have to say best Thai food in Longmont!
