Are here for the first time. It was busy but the ordering process went quickly. The food was amazing. Had dukes pad Thai with chicken. Highly recommend! Five of us ate with three sides and drinks for 69.00. Worth it as we brought home leftovers for another meal. They are worth the stop! read more

One of my favorite places to eat in Columbia. Introduced two of my friends to this restaurant this past week. Their Pad Thai and phos are my favorite. Had the shrimp dumplings as an appetizer -- amazing. Looking forward to trying the ban mi on my next visit! read more

Duke's Pad Thai is the best place to go if you're craving Thai food, but you're on a budget. Of course it won't taste like super genuine, street-stall classic Thai dishes, but it definitely hits the spot when you're craving some pad thai or pad see ew. I always get the pork pad thai or the beef pad see ew. The pad thai is saucy, tangy, and flavorful on a good day. Sometimes, it could be a little dry depending on the day, but it's usually pretty good. The pad see ew is savory and sweet, perfect for anybody. I have had it a little burnt before where the broccoli takes on a charred flavor, but again, not very often. Come get some yummy Thai food and support your local small businesses. It's delicious and a bang for your buck! read more

Top-notch place! Food is super fresh, non-GMO & high quality ingredients. Service is fast and friendly. You can dine in, or get it to go. Definitely one of my go-to places these days for lunch and early dinners. read more

It was packed when we went in but tables clear so fast and everyone is so pleasant and friendly. We had a party of five including my 3 year old toddler and my 10 year old son who only eats Korean cuisine all of a sudden. For this place to have something that all of us can eat is just a gem in and of itself. I'm vegan and neither my husband or sons eat pork so everything was something that we all could enjoy. Will definitely come back soon and the taste is so good too! read more

I was really excited to try this food. I had been seeing it for years and wanted to finally stop by today. I got spring rolls, messy fries, and Pad See Ew, my favorite dish at a thai restaurant. The spring rolls were amazing and fresh. The messy fries were great for the top layer of fries. (Note if you don't pay attention like me they have alot of cilantro so if you don't like it, youll be like me and picking it off forever). But there were a ton of fries that were just fries. No sauce, no nothin on them. I love a good layered dish. Now to the main squeeze, the pad see ew. I was sorely disappointed. The chicken looked like it was sadly boiled alone in water. I was terrified there would be no taste at all honestly, but there was some flavor. I just had to mix it up really well to taste it. It was a miss for me, though. I will likely try other dishes, but I'll go to a different place for my favorite dish. The service was great and there is alot of potential so i'll go back for sure. read more

This business definitely has a hipster vibe, off the beaten path kind of feel. The vibrant orange and blue colors go nicely together but this place has opportunity for improvement. I'm not sure if they are renovating or expanding the space but some booth seating backed up to a set of doors, kind of odd. I'm assuming the sign on that wall used to say Eat Noodles...not Eat Odles. What's with these double doors?! I'll move past it...but I do want to know if this place turns into a skate park after hours because there's a ton of black markings on the wall!! Anyways, you go up to the counter and place your order, they give you a number to take to your table. Our food was dropped off by a young lady who wasn't clear on our order or requests. It rubs me the wrong way when food is brought out before plates and utensils. Also, when I have to ask for the same thing multiple times. There seemed to be a lot of ambiguity for a first time customer. Do they bring out the plates? Do we grab our own condiments? We did receive a nice welcome but not much else. The food: The vegetable spring rolls were cooked well, perfectly crispy brown. The chicken satay with peanut sauce was really good according to the hubs. We both ordered the Pad Thai, it was decent. It lacked a bit in flavor so I had to add some soy sauce. The place was busy, I could see people coming in and out for takeout orders...must be popular with the locals. I overheard an employee on the phone talking with a customer about how their order was switched with someone else. Good news, the employee handled it really professionally. Aside from that, I would recommend the tables being bussed quickly to accommodate the flow of patrons and make up for that weird double door thing I clearly can't get past. Plus, what's up with the instrumental Christmas music? It didn't add to the environment, I just found it an odd choice for Duke since he sells street food. read more

I have say down and ate in the bright colored restaurant and also taken food to go! The food was so delicious that I have had to have it at least once a week! Quick service even during the lunch rush. read more

The service was slow, do not go during 3-5. The food was not flavorful and the portions were too small. The ambiance was too busy and honestly not a good eat. read more

Got the chicken curry with udon noodles, chicken pad Thai, and pork basil fried rice = $50. Portions are SMALL for $16 each, two young small adults ate all 3 dishes with no leftovers sadly. Not much protein in them (chicken pad Thai had just a few small pieces 8-9). The chicken that was in there was these bland dry white non-seasoned boiled pieces. Added shrimp to the curry and received no shrimp. read more

The food here is unbelievably good. The yellow curry stir fry is a must try! A great place for takeout, or to sit down and eat! Love it here. read more

Never gave much thought to trying this place as I live 30 to 40 mines depending on traffic driving through downtown. But as the noise grew louder about the food here I made a special trip here to Dukes. I would encourage you to bring a few friends & eat family style. So you can try as many different dishes as possible if you in to that sort of thing. The Tom yum soup , Thai sausage, pad Thai and sauces make for an eventful Saturday meal ! Beat my expectations. read more

Located on the end of a strip mall, the inside is bright and clean. Furnishings are the current "industrial" trend. The bright colors and crisp lines are pleasing to the eye. You walk along the right side wall to the rear to place your order. If you don't want the noodle bar, keep going to the register to place your order. The servers are friendly and helpful when asked. We ordered an assortment of items for take out. It took about 20 minutes to get our food. The Pad Thai taco and Bain Mi taco were both very good. They had plenty of fillings and were a decent value. The crispy rice salad was good, but did not have as much lime flavor as I expected. I also didn't notice any spicy heat. The Drunken noodle and Thai Soy Sauce noodle dishes were very good. The vegetable spring rolls were fine, maybe more bland than expected, but still good. Overall, this is a good Thai place with an interesting assortment of menu items. I want to try some things from the noodle bar since there are so many possible options available. read more

DUKES! THERE IT IS! (((think Space Jam))) Absolutely incredible food!! Quality, Authentic, Tasty, and Affordable! I would eat here everyday if I could! Pad Thai, Tom Kah Soup, Drunken Noodle, and any of the Street Eats are absolutely winners! The Curries are also fantastic!! read more

Delicious and fresh ingredients. I love that there are GF and Vegan options. The soups are great! I had a coconut based broth with rice noodles and tofu. The mushrooms and red pepper were as fresh as it gets! The hubby had a the raving ramen with chicken and pork and loved it too. This is a little hole in the wall in a strip mall. Not something you stumble on but someplace you'll return to once you discover it! We'll be back. read more

This place is okay I guess. I had the pad thai and it was dripping in sauce. The sauce wasn't even tamarind based it was like sweet and sour or something. It's a cool fusion kinda place for college kids tho but if you're looking for authentic Thai this place ain't it. Also dumplings not worth it but their pho is better then other pho places in Columbia, which isn't saying much. The best thing I had was soda read more

I had the sweet and spicy chicken here last night and since that was the only thing I had yesterday, I'm pretty sure this is what gave me food poisoning. Food tastes great tho which sucks. read more

I went there for the Pho. I was not impressed but the other food looked pretty good. The broth was weak and was luke warm. I've had better pho other places but it was OK. Won't go back for the pho. Not alot of flavor and was not hot as pho should be. Just my opinion read more

We had the pad thai curry with chicken it was delicious. Gluten free option which is great. Restaurant connects right to another one next door which we also ordered from. It is clean and cute. Everyone was friendly. read more

I was so incredibly excited to try Duke's and was a little let down. I wanted a little kick so I ordered the spicy curry but it had ZERO spice! Maybe they just forgot? I did like to amount of vegetables it came with. I also ordered the dumplings to share which were delicious. Overall, I was bummed but I'm definitely going to give it another try and order something else. read more

Duke's Pad Thai - Spicy Curry- it was not at all spicy - Thai Near Me - Cayce, South Carolina

We were in the Columbia area and didn't know where to eat and drove past this restaurant. It was packed, so we thought the food must be tasty. The food was okay. It wasn't the best Thai food I've ever had, but it wasn't terrible at the same time. We're still on the look out for delicious restaurants in Columbia that will have us coming back time after time again. read more

Food is really good. Nice atmosphere and the people are very friendly and eager to help you decide.

shrimp dumplings: just ok, I think the frozen dumplings from Trader Joe's, Tai Pei & Sister Liu's are better than these. this was the best of the 4 things I ordered, yet, they were just blah 2.8/5 spicy fried chicken: dry & overcooked. let me tell you something, if you overcook chicken breast, there's NO amount of sauce/liquid that can be added to rehydrate it, NONE! Although the sauce was good, it offered 0 assistance to that dry ass chicken. 2/5 the raving ramen: this was a glorified chicken noodle soup & I didn't like how it smelled, tasted, nothing. I actually sent it back & they didn't even offer to refund me I didn't make a big deal out of this & decided to just take the L. the pork & the chicken was dry, the egg was cold & they OD'd on cilantro. 0/5 *typing this out just upset me, again pad thai taco: no picture because my order had a long, black piece of HAIR over the mountain of bean sprouts. They did refund this one, though. 0/5 The only pro of this place (today) is that their menu prices include tax & their employees are nice. y'all can also follow my food page on IG: staceyb_eating read more

Duke's Pad Thai - Dumplings - Thai Near Me - Cayce, South Carolina

Just moved to Columbia and craving for Thai food. We came to Duke's Pad Thai restaurant for Friday dinner. It was very busy the parking lot was almost full. We entered the restaurant, the floor was really sticky. It seems we were walking on a sticky carpet. You could actually hear the sound that your shoes were trying to escape from the greasy floor. There was a line, people wait to order. I ordered drunken noodle, the girl behind the counter asked me to add protein, I told her beef. But she kept pushing me to add more protein without explaining the price difference. For people who go there often probably know, but for someone first came here had no clue what she was implying. After I added all three proteins (chicken, beef and shrimp) I realized later the noodle was $9, and 1 & 2 proteins was $2 and all three was $4. The girl did bother to explain the difference which made me feel their business is not honest enough. We waited for more than 30 minutes for our food to be ready. The presentation of the food was good like most of the Thai food in Thai restaurant. The drunken noodle was kind of salty. The taste was decent though. The quality of food worths 3 stars, but the customer service is a zero. I wouldn't recommend this Thai restaurant. read more

Finally found a great place for Pad Thai in Columbia! 5-stars for friendliness, a cozy atmosphere and flavorful food. Definitely a hidden gem- I never noticed it when I would pass by on my way to campus, but I would recommend stopping in for sure! It's the perfect cure for this cold and gloomy weather we're currently having.. Duke's is also very reasonably priced for the quality and portion of their food. I had Chicken Pad Thai and I tried the Tom Kha Soup (Thai Coconut Soup) with shrimp to switch things up a little. Both were delicious and I will be back soon (and often). read more

Love the food!!! Everything was cooked fresh and so good and yummy. Friendly staff who's always willing to help.

Best Thai spot in Columbia hands down. I come here every week. I always get the red curry. When I want something extra, the spring rolls are the way to fucking go. Their pad Thai? Don't even question it. Just get it. Get it all. Try the whole menu. They won't disappoint. read more

Duke's Pad Thai - Red curry with chicken and shrimp / level 2 - Thai Near Me - Cayce, South Carolina

Dukes pad Thai was sooo good. I didn't know what to get, so the cashier told me to get that.

After 3 terrible experiences, I unfortunately have to update my review. The service has gone terrible. The staff keeps changing for the worse and the food has ZERO consistency. The same dish will be different every single time. One experience was us waiting 1.5 hours to get our food. We kept reminding them of our order and they kept forgetting to put it in. We ended up leaving without ever receiving our food. They promised to reimburse us the $40 and they never did so we paid for a meal that we never received. Why open another joint next door when your main one isn't running smoothly? Training is in order. read more

Felt like some soup on a cold rainy day, and opted for this Thai spot. I ended up getting a small soup (dumpling soup) and entree (Thai bbq chicken, because it was on their "Duke's specialty" list). The soup is reminiscent of French onion mix in a beef broth. The cilantro adds a nice pop of freshness. Lots of mushrooms and 3 nice size pork? dumplings. It's good, I'd get it again. The Thai bbq chicken is good but basic. Taste kind of like Maurice's yellow bbq sauce to me. I didn't get the coconut milk flavors shining through. It's not that saucy, so the rice that it comes with is going to be dry. I added the homemade jalapeño sauce on the rice, and that was good. I would try other things on the menu before ordering this again. It seems to be known for the noodle bar, so give that a go instead! I know I will next time! read more

I went to Duke's for lunch one day, after hearing my girlfriend recommend it. Their main thing seems to their noodle bar. You pick a protein, noodle, and broth. I opted to just get the drunken noodles. Service was pretty quick still despite it being pretty weekday lunch. Noodles and veggies were cooked appropriately. I appreciate that they used "real" shrimp, and didn't skimp out by just using baby shrimp. I would definitely come here again to try their noodle bar and appetizers. read more

Came here for the first time and while the parking lot is tricky out front to get into, I thought the place looked great. I also enjoy the way you order by picking the broth, protein and noodle types. I decided Pho with chicken and wide noodles was worth a go. The broth was good, but the chicken was a little too tuff. Seems like it needed to be a little more tender. I also made a mistake with the wide noodle, lesson learned! I can still recommend this place, but be prepared to know exactly what makes you happy and order 5/29/18 Why mop the floors with bleach at dinner time??!! Could not eat here because the smell was overwhelming. read more
