Five of us ate here over the holidays and we were truly not happy with the food quality Food temperature was only warm and we didn't appreciate that our entrees all were delivered at different times. There are better Thai restaurants in the area that we will frequent.
Solid spot to meet my Thai craving. Items ordered: Drunken Noodle (pictured) Pad Thai Red Curry All of these dishes were amazing and flavorful without too much heat. I added heat to mine but the people I was with did not want their dishes too spicy. Service was friendly and food came out quick even on a busy Saturday evening. The portions are I would say "just enough" but are balanced out by the cheaper price. If you have a big appetite my advice would be to get an appetizer or the bang bang shrimp tacos on the side :)
Duke's Pad Thai continues to be the go-to whenever family or friends are in town. The drunken noodles are full of flavor. The messy fries is still one of our favorites, but wished there was more on the fries to evenly distribute.
I have been sick and was dying for some Pho. I know, Duke's is a Thai place, but I didn't know of anywhere else with Pho! I had gotten their pad thai in the past and liked it so thought I would give it a whirl. The space is set up to where you walk up, order, and set down. Very clean and the staff were kind and immediately greeted me. I had no problem quickly grabbing my pick up order. Online I had selected that I wished for cutlery to be included, and alas when I got to my next destination it was not packed in my to go order. Not the biggest of deals, but a slight disappointment. I wish the staff had just directed me to grab cutlery on my way out if I wanted it. The portions were pretty big (see pics below). The pad Thai was just as good as I remembered- tons of flavor, peanuts, crispy shoots, and well cooked chicken. I do find it strange they put lemon instead of lime slices, but perhaps this is more standard and I'm just used to "americanized" thai. Now, the pho..... where to begin. The portion was large, but otherwise I found it incredibly disappointing. The chicken was dry, the broth had minimal flavor, and it was topped with raw onions. Totally unlike any pho I have ever had. I also didn't note any basil (by flavor or appearance of toppings) but found cilantro in abundance. Again, topped with a lemon slice instead of lime. I will not be ordering this ever again nor do I suggest anyone else do. The pad Thai I will be coming back for.
Simple ambience, quick service, tasty food.....perfect for a quick weekend lunch. We tried veg red curry with tofu, pad thai with tofu and thai soy sauce noodles. They have bunch of options, you place the order at the counter and the food is brought to the table. We asked the food to be spicy, I asked level 4 out of 5 and it wasn't spicy. They also have condiments of chili oil, sriracha etc so that helped amp up the spice level. Definitely worth a try if you are in this area.
We found this place during our trip to South Carolina. This was a really good thai food place. I was a fan of the pad see ew and the tacos. The food and service was great! I love how they have a tea/drinks place next door that is connected so you can order some drinks while you wait for your food. I highly recommend if you're in Columbia, SC!
Awesome little find in Casey, South Carolina. Some of the best asian in town. Fast and friendly service in a cool clean environment.
Solid street food from Duke's. There are some classic dishes (Pad Thai, curry, spring rolls, dumplings) and also some fun twists like Thai tacos. Our group tried a little bit of everything -- there was so much food, we couldn't even finish it. My favorites were the tacos, curry, and chicken wontons. Don't know that I'd run back the next time in Columbia, but it's a solid spot that I'd visit occasionally if I lived there.
I tried Duke's Pad Thai and sampled a few dishes: the pad thai, pad see ew, dumplings, and chicken egg rolls. Overall, it was a good experience. I have lots of Thai food and really enjoy it. The pad thai was definitely the standout; it was a great balance of sweet and sour. I like the lemon served on the side instead of the lime. The pad see ew was just ok for me. I liked the fresh vegetables that were mixed in, but the overall flavor didn't pop out. I wish I had the option to choose a spice level for the noodle dishes. I like a little heat. As for the dumplings, I wasn't a fan. They were served in a sauce, which I didn't enjoy. I prefer my dumpling plain with a dipping sauce on the side. The chicken egg rolls were ok, nothing special. Overall, I would come back for the pad thai and maybe give another try to other dishes.
Five our our ROMEO group went here for the first time today. We ordered Vietnames Pho, Drunken Noodles, Ramen soup, Chicken Pad Thai, egg rolls and fried rice. Everyone liked their dish. The Ramen soup was not spicy at all even though it had a spice icon by it in the menu. My Pho was good but the broth was not quite like others that I've had. I also had them bring me some jalapeños to give it a bit of spice. The Drunken Noodles was very good. Chicken egg rolls very good. All in all it was a great meal with everyone rating it as 4.0 stars.
Overall this place was a popular spot with a busy night when I went. It seems to hit the spot for most! The service was great and you could sit anywhere they bring the food out. Had to try their named food and it was pretty good! I definitely want to try the other traditional Thai food they have when I go back!
Staff are friendly and do their jobs well. Place can get busy! It was packed during our first visit and the food came out hot. Lots of people chattering and the place feels welcoming. It's connected to their banh mi and drink spot where you can also sit and eat after ordering. The food lacked some things... I would not say it's bland but it's not fully there for me. Disclaimer: I'm from California and eat Thai food often. The Tom Kha soup at spicy level 5 wasn't that spicy and the mushrooms were raw. While edible, the soup overall seems to be just half-way there in terms of flavor. It did not earn a nod from me. The bulgogi beef with udon noodles interested me because I love udon noodles but it didn't seem to have enough flavor to me. The meat was ok. Not tough but not tender. The udon noodle did not have enough time to absorb flavors of the sauce or marinade - I think. The drunken noodles was almost there - the color was almost dark enough with seasoning but it seemed to miss the sweetness of typical pad see ew. There seemed to be soup? as my sister was eating away and the dish itself got saltier. The pho was labeled "OK" by my Vietnamese mother. We did not get sriracha or hoisin sauce with it as traditionally expected. Parking can be tricky as it's located around and in the back. They have a large menu so there is something for everyone but a big menu sometimes can be a downfall if dishes aren't perfected. I would not personally recommend this place if you're used to the complex, layered, sweet, tangy, and aromatic flavors of traditional Thai food.
I'm only here to visit my little cousin in the army . But OMG did everything here hit the spot. The tom yum soup ? The spicy one made my night ! Dumplings steamed so flavorful and the drunken noodles ... so filling and delicious

Ordered dumplings they were frozen on inside. Service was solid about it. But would never eat here where the food is just from a frozen bag. read more
I thought the food was really good. I got the chicken pad Thai and yellow curry with chicken and split them with my mom so we both got to try both flavors. The curry had a pretty thin consistency. I'm used to a thicker consistency, but it was still really good. For me personally, I almost wish there was less of some of the veggies and more of the curry sauce. I thought it had really good flavor too. The pad Thai also had good flavor. This restaurant is in a little strip of places (I wouldn't call it a strip mall since it's just one row of building) and it's fine inside but not really a cute aesthetic. If I lived in town, I'd absolutely eat here again. read more

Food is always delish and fresh. First time trying the papaya salad. It was a level 2 spicy. I didn't order this time but the Kareoke noodles and thr Pho are my fav. read more

Great dumplings and pad Thai!! The only issue that I have had here is asking for extra shrimp, which was $10 more, and they literally had the same amount that I normally get on the regular Shrimp Pad Thai. Definitely frustrating and not worth it. Otherwise, the food is always good and so is the service. I love the cozy atmosphere, I just wish they had more tables because it gets very crowded at lunch! read more

The menu offers a wide variety of traditional Thai dishes, fusion creations, and a noodle bar that offers you the discretion to pick and choose from your preferred broth base, noodles, protein, and veggies. Since it was my first visit I decided to keep it basic and ordered a bowl of miso soup with shrimp. Unfortunately, this one missed the mark. Not only did I find the broth base to be incredibly salty, but was disappointed to find an absence of tofu, and only two shrimp floating towards the bottom. On the upside it did make for a quick grab and go, and despite a rather packed house was quickly served and in and out all within a lunch work hour. read more

We were in the area and wanted to try something different. It's great that they have a wide set of options without the menu being too overwhelming. I did the noodle bar with shirataki noodles, chicken, meatballs., and spicy curry broth. The food is really delicious and you get a lot for your money. I forgot to tell them my heat level, but I'll assume it was a 3/5. Next time I'm definitely trying 5/5 heat. read more

While in the area, we decided to try some local Thai food. We found this place close by and decided to try it out. Upon parking, you will notice that they have Vietnamese food on one side, and Thai food on the other side of the same building. I was curious about the Vietnamese food, but never went into that section after ordering and eating at the Thai-side of the building. The place is as clean as a McDonalds, but they serve the food quickly and they have very affordable prices. I ordered the "Thai-tanic Ramen". We dined in, the food was flavorful, abundant(espeically for the cost), but the food was very mild. It wasnt until I was leaving did I realize that the condiments (spicy sauces, crushed thai pepper, etc.) were all at the side near the line. My friend had the pad thai. We both liked our dishes. If you are looking for some affordable thai foods from a not-so-fancy place, I would recommend visiting this place. read more

I've been wanting to come to this place since I first heard about it in 2019 and I FINALLY made it and I now have another favorite restaurant! The food is SOOOOO good, I came here two days in a row with the same person since it's one of her favorite restaurants as well. Lol! The food is really good! I'm telling you! Day 1: We came here for lunch and was glad to beat the lunch crowd considering it got full quickly, especially with Cayce City Police since apparently this is their lunch spot lol. First and foremost, the menu is so tantalizing, I had a hard time deciding on what to get. I got the chicken wing on a stick with the sesame chicken and vegetables and brown rice. The yellow curry sauce that came with the dish is VERY flavorful and pure perfection, I wish I had more. My chicken was cooked perfectly, so were my vegetables. The brown rice was perfect as well. Now let's talk about the chicken wing on a stick. You get two of them first of all and they're under the "street eats" section of the menu. Whoever thought to put a whole chicken wing on a stick needs a Nobel Peace Prize or Lifetime Achievement Award because that was pure genius! The chicken, both days I went, was perfectly fried! I'm talking deep fried and crispy yet still juicy with steam coming out it as sooooonnnnn as you bit into it! The chicken was glistening! I'm in pure love with them! They were never dry, bland or anything! The flavor is **muah** beautiful! Day 1 cont: My godmother, who is vegan, got the Basil Thai Noodles with the fried tofu nuggets. The nuggets were amazing! You couldn't tell they were fried tofu nuggets, that's how well seasoned they were. Her bowl looked amazing and is on my list for a later visit. Day 2/Next Day: We came here for dinner and we beat the dinner crowd meaning we got to choose where to sit. This time I got the Sweet and Spicy Ramen with Chicken, and the Chicken Wing on a Stick. Once again, not disappointed! The ramen was the perfect balance of sweet and heat, yet if you're not a spicy food kind of person, don't do it to yourself because this level of "mild" is not for someone who likes "a little spice". This mild is borderline medium spice yet it's not overpowering. As stated, it was the perfect balance. I take off one point for the noodles not being a little firmer because I prefer firmer noodles, but hey 99 out of 100 isn't bad if you ask me. This time, my godmother got the ramen bowl with cashews and she got her husband the same yet without cashews. The staff is super friendly and nice, and the ambiance is great. The food wait time isn't bad considering everything is cooked made to order. The food is definitely fresh; I'm enamored with this place. They're expanding the dining area as well as adding new items to the menu, so I'm excited to try them once they've rolled it out. Do yourself a favor and go. You won't be disappointed! read more

This is the best mainland/lower 48 Thai restaurant my wife and I have been to! We just wish we would have come earlier. We have lived in Hawaii and South Korea where we have had over a dozen Thai food experiences. We had the Chicken Satay, Chicken and Beef Pad Thai with level three spice, and our daughter had Green Curry with chicken. Again, this is the best Thai food we have had in the mainland United States. Come by and give Duke's Pad Thai a try read more

Duke's is now one of my very favorite eat-in and take-out options after multiple great meals. The menu was recently expanded, and they're opening up the space next door soon and providing more seating and a bar there. They have consistently good casual "street food" options and a range of entrees. Plus they play fabulous jazz on the sound system here - bonus! Love it. read more
I'm going to give it 4 stars (from 3) since we had take out and did not eat in the restaurant. I was excited to try this place since I had read good reviews and it was highly rated but was somewhat disappointed. The drunken noodles just did not have much flavor at all and were not even in my top 5 of drunken noodles but other options were decent. I would still come back and give it another try. read more

Just had a good meal in Cayce. First was the soup I love, Tom Kha. The coconut milk really makes it unique. I then tried Vietnamese Pho. I was going to order the pad thai, I love, but I risked ordering the Pho with chicken & veggies to be healthy. It was very good surprisingly. The veggies and the broth brought it together!! The place was very crowded when I ordered but found a seat before the food came. They are doing so well that they are expanding next door when they can get enough staff. read more

Though small, this place has a bright and lively feel to it. Love it. The staff are really nice. I do suggest that the cashier might need to work on suggestions and recommendations. But that's just some advice to better assist the customer. Still great service. The fried fish balls were alright. I like the taste but it's basically a smashed fish ball. It feels a bit overcooked though. It can be improved. Wish it was a little more fluffy. Apart from that, everything was delicious. The ramen with pork broth was light but still has that nice flavor. This is a good go to choice. The thai tanic was special. It has a nice fresh kick with peppers and shrimp. The broth was sour and spicy that really wakes you up. Love the freshness. Lastly, the pho was a good typical pho. It was filling. The broth with all of it's components gave a nice fullness. One of my favorites. Highly recommend! After a disappointing experience in downtown Charleston with asian fusion places, this place revived my love for it. Must try! read more
I really love Thai food and eat it very often. Dukes is not really authentic but it's bareable. You go up to the counter and pay there after you order. Cute decor but the food is more Asian fusion. Kinda hard to find but it's across from uhaul. The Tom yum soup was good at first then you taste how salty it is especially at the bottom. Too much for me to handle sadly especially because I love Tom yum and it's really good at other restaurants. I usually can finish the whole thing but I had to stop eating it. The green curry was previously pretty salty so I had to add water and it looked like it was colored with food dye. It wasn't bad though. I got it with chicken. This time it's a little more coconut flavor rather than salty. Still has the green food coloring. The ramen eggs are cooked all the way and the shrimps with the noodle bar were nice and plump. The pad Thai was too sweet for my liking and what I'm used to. Overall this wouldn't be my favorite place but it wouldn't be the worst choice. Mainly come here for the location but it doesn't soothe my Thai cravings sadly. read more

Sought out Duke's Pad Thai tonight on a tip! Wow, thank you Father! Duke's is a very casual "order at the counter" sit down or take out joint. So many menu choices: Specials, like Spicy Beef w/Shrimp, and Bangkok Chicken Basil, a Nice Vegan Menu, Noodle Bar, Signature Bowls, Noodles and Rice, Soups, Salads, Stir Fries, Salads...the list goes on. I ordered Spicy Tofu salad, and my wife ordered Thai Soy Sauce Noodles. The waitress brought our food in no time, but when I looked at my dish, I immediately saw it was not a salad but rather a stir fry. So I said, "is this a tofu salad?" She said it was and walked away. Well I started to take a few bites, and just then another counter person arrived bringing me my salad. She apologized for the mix up, and then joyfully announced that we could keep all three orders. I loved the Tofu Salad. It's a wonderful mix of crunchy textures from the shredded carrots, cabbage and onions. It's tangy, spicy and citrusy as advertised, with a lively blast of cilantro in every bite! Beautiful! I could eat two helpings. My "free" stir fry was more bland, kind of traditional dish with a soy based sauce. Good sir fry though. My wife enjoyed her dish, but definitely would order something else next time. Duke's is a real gem. Doesn't look like much, but they get it right when it comes to fresh, correctly seasoned Thai food. We can't wait to go back and explore more of the menu items. read more

I spent quite a bit of time deliberating where to go for dinner before I chose Duke's as soon as I pulled up I realized I ate here about a year ago. After 2 visits I can give a detailed review. The food is decent, I'd say 7 out of 10. I won't critique every dish for flaws, let's say it's up scale fast Thai food. The prices are fair and the portions are ample, presentation is very good for a no table service joint. Here's the bad part, they do not have self bus set up properly and the staff is very slow keeping the limited seating dining area clean. I walked in during a busy time and every empty spot had dirty dishes. I moved a couple dishes to get a table. I actually found their garbage can near the self serve utensil and condiments which is weirdly behind the cash register. I'd go back because the food is decent but I'm turned off by the unkempt dining area. read more
