    Shrimp Pad Thai and Shrimp Fried Rice. Delicious and fresh!
    Tracey K.

    We ordered a lot of food a little after 7pm and had it before 8pm. I got the shrimp pad Thai since that's my favorite. It was really good! I hadn't gotten Thai in a while from here. I ordered the chicken satay too. I love it with the peanut sauce and the cucumber sauce. Or are they dips? Hmmm. Four skewers per order. We were thankful they were open during this Covid 19 shut in and so quick. I had it for lunch today too. Still delicious on day two. I may have it for dinner too. I ordered shrimp fried rice and pork fried rice too. So much food! We will probably be eating it tomorrow too!!

    It is very tempting to give Capital Thai 4*, but I am trying not to let Albany get the best of me. Must. Try. And. Keep. My. Standards. Here were the holy-shit-this-is-good-stuff moments: 1) Papaya salad: Seriously spicy. 2) Papaya salad: Whole dried shrimp. 3) Pad Thai: Pickled vegetable. Most ethnic food around the area sucks so bad, because I get the distinct impression that the restaurants are trying to cater to white people. (Can I say that?) Capital Thai goes where others fear to tread. That's not to say they don't do their fair share of pandering. I want to know who the regional restaurant supply rep is that has managed to sell sushi equipment to every asian-centric establishment. That person must be filthy rich, and he (or she) must be stopped. Here is where I get picky. Despite the pickled vegetable (an absolute must of a good pad thai) the noodle dish was lacking depth and flavor. Could have used more tamarind and fish sauce. But it was a solid, respectable effort, and wasn't flawed by being overly sweet. And despite the heat and the plump dried shrimp, the papaya salad felt a little wilty. Or at least wiltier than I would like. Which was still better than the deep fried tofu which was just kind of rubbery and chewy. I like mine crisp on the outside, pillowy on the inside. But these tofu slices were cut way to thin to every be allowed to shine. (My wife thinks they were just simply over-fried). The location is odd. The place is so clean that it feels almost sterile. I'd prefer it to be smaller and dirtier, with a little more soul. Thai food is soulful food, and this room is its antithesis. But overall, it's very good. I'm thrilled to have decent Thai food in the area. And this will clearly be the place I go to scratch that itch. Hopefully, as I try more and more of the menu, CT will earn it's 4th star.

    Best Thai food place I ever been too. I'm from Jersey and I haven't tried any good Thai food better than this one... will come back again

    Baby corn stir fry with chicken and extra vegetables added. Yum!
    Tammy L.

    We stopped in Friday night and were happy we did! Food was great! Ordered the Baby corn stir fry and the curry with green beans. It was fresh, delicious and hot! We'll for sure be going back to try more dishes.

    Mixed reactions to this place. Ordered a Thai tea, tempura, and pad Thai. Thai tea was decent. Came with a cute straw topper. Tempura was not so great I wouldn't recommend it. It was super bland they give you a super sweet sauce to go with I prefer the soy/ savory dipping sauce. When ordering the pad Thai I asked if it came with bell pepper because I'm not a fan she said no I Specifically told her it was because I didn't like them. Well the tempura have two huge piece of bell pepper. Here is where I have mixed feeling about the pad Thai. The taste was great I got beef , their were very little piece but I attribute that to it being lunch time that wasn't the issue. The issue was half of the tin it came in was bean sprouts looks like they only filled it with half noodles and then the other half is completely bean sprouts to the bottom of the tin. I would probably give them another chance but would eat in instead of take out.

    I decided to check this place out based on Yelp reviews. Hmmm... For an appetizer I got the meat gyozas which were decent. Be warned though... they serve them with a curry / coconut milk sauce which doesn't really work as a side dipping sauce. For an entree I got the chicken with Capital Thai sauce which is tamarind based. I'm need to preface by saying I do a lot of Asian cooking myself. From experience I know it can be tricky to work with fish sauce and tamarind as they have strong flavors and aromas. Well.... when the dish arrived it smelled shockingly horrible. My initial thought was "...OMG I shouldn't have ordered this!" However having worked with the ingredients myself, I knew to not be dissuaded. As it turned out, the dish was DELICIOUS. The taste did not share the same extremes as the aroma. I just hope other people with less experience with this type of cuisine are not put off easily. The place is clean but those chair covers are awful (see photos). The staff were nice enough but pulled a disappearing act. They were clearly in the back talking loudly amongst themselves but we're basically absent from the dining room. People who came in after me looked around to see no staff, shrugged and seated themselves. Although my entree turned out to be very good, the overall experience is really worthy of only two stars.... Maybe 2.5. I much prefer a different Thai place on the same street way down closer to downtown.

    I have had the great privilege of having Thai food all over Southeast Asia including Thailand…read more Have enjoyed Michelin starred Thai food over there and this compares with the best of the best. I started with the Roti Curry dip and am pretty sure it was pumpkin. The roti was slightly undercooked, but the curry was so good I wanted to put it in a cup and drink it like water. Absolutely superb. I was not aware that they charged for extra roti ($6 ouch) so be aware. I ordered the Khao Nuer Yang with Jaew and was so impressed. Loved the bowl it came in as the rice was sizzling in it. The beef was cooked perfectly medium rare and the flavors were on point. Truly a wonderful place to enjoy a meal and would go back anytime I am in town.

I'm not an expert in Thai…read morecuisine but the staff was wonderful in explaining what certain things were and answering any questions I had. Our waitress also had the perfect mix of attentiveness and letting us enjoy our time which made for a very relaxing lunch. The iced tea was sweet but with a nice warm spice. The dumplings were packed with filling. The noodles for the pad Thai were light and not greasy. I've had pad Thai other places that came in a pool of grease. My husband said the beef in his meal was very tender and well seasoned. I would gladly make the drive here again and again. BONUS- there's a parking lot in the back!

    Tamarind Thai in Latham is one of my favorite Thai restaurants!…read more There are several dishes that are already "accidentally vegan" meaning it is a plant-based meal that doesn't include any animal products like eggs, butter, dairy milk, seasoning or sauces made from seafood or mollusks. Their curry dishes are all accidentally vegan, and you can keep them vegan when you add a protein by choosing either steamed or fried tofu. The staff is so polite and extremely helpful and knowledgeable about the dishes and can help you customize your meals if you are vegan, vegetarian, gluten intolerant, or have any other food sensitivities. On this visit they were decorated for the holidays. Beautiful red, silver, and white balls hung from the ceiling, string lights, pine garland, and a flocked Christmas tree in the front window all made the restaurant cozy and inviting. I had the curry fried rice with spring rolls and unsweetened iced tea and my husband had the hot vegetables entree with white rice and a side of sticky rice.

    We love this restaurant! The food is amazing, the service is excellent, and if you're dining in…read moreyou're going to like it a lot! Many people get take out from here which I will admit, we have done twice but we really enjoy dining in at the restaurant because it's fun. The staff is really nice and extremely helpful. When we say vegan they know what we mean which is difficult sometimes because a lot of people have misconceptions about what that entails. You have to think about what ingredients the noodles were made with, do they contain egg or not. What sauces are traditionally used, is it a fish sauce? Is something cooked with butter? So just saying no meat, eggs, or dairy doesn't always make people think about everything but this restaurant gets it. Also people ask well what about gluten? It has nothing to do with being vegan it is related to having celiac disease. Bottom line, if you have food allergies or sensitivities, they know what is in their food and they will tell you or offer suggestions to help you out. The spring rolls, the gyoza, the crazy noodle (drunken noodle), curry rice, fresh rolls, all of it has been good everytime we go. This review is long overdue, Tamarind is just so good if you need vegan or vegetarian options they have a lot of plant-based menu items. The unsweetened iced tea, that's my jam! Love it!

    Great lunch today with my daughter. Food (lunch specials)…read morewas five stars plus. Service was five stars. Always searching for good Thai food, and this small restaurant did not disappoint. Not only does it have excellent Thai food, it also has one page of their menu offering Korean choices. There are separate lunch and dinner menus. Both menus are easy to navigate and clearly written. Their menus state designated spicy dishes can be modified on a scale of 1 to 5. There are numerous lunch specials offered. They come with miso soup or green salad. The waitress (owner?) was friendly, helpful, and attentive. We started with Spring Rolls and tea. Tea bags were placed in large mugs. I would have preferred a pot of brewed tea and small handleless cups offered at a few other places. We ordered lunch specials: Drunken Noodles with Tofu and Pang Kamee with Chicken. The soup broth was flavorful but could have had more tofu pieces. The Spring Rolls were average. My Pang Kamee was seasoned perfectly. Very tasty, it was seasoned nicely with spices, but not hot. I liked the perfectly cooked wide noodles and thinly sliced carrots. The chicken was moist and tender. The Drunken Noodles was also enjoyed by my daughter. What was exceptional about it was the Tofu! There were large pieces of tofu that were sautéed or grilled slightly. Delicious! Best tofu she has eaten in a long time. Our portions were generous, and both meals were finished because they were tasty. The restaurant has nine uncrowded tables and does a lot of takeout. Located in a small strip mall near Colonie Center, it has a parking lot behind the restaurant. We want to return and try other Thai dishes, and try the Korean food.

It's an ideal place to swing by for takeout or enjoy a casual meal with one or two friends. From what I ordered, I especially enjoyed the Fresh Roll and the Thai Fried Rice Dinner (Beef) - both flavorful and satisfying. I also tried the Veggie Gyoza, which was tasty, although it's not something I usually order when visiting a Thai restaurant. Still, it was well-prepared. What stands out is the friendly staff and the fact that they encourage you to order directly from them rather than using third-party apps like Grubhub - it's more affordable that way, and you're supporting them directly. ------------------------------------------------------ What I ordered: - Fresh Roll - Vegetable Gyoza - Thai Fried Rice Dinner (Beef)
