They also said anyone who doesn't try it is missing out... wish I would have gone with the Vietnamese dishes. Everything tasted fresh. The sauce for the orange chicken had little to no flavor. The cheese puffs were ok, I wouldn't order them again. The egg roll was a little better. Fresh, crunchy and good flavor. The dipping sauce, not so good. The shrimp were super over cooked. Barely had any flavor and the texture was very tough. Crunchy outside shell though. The dumplings were not the best and the dipping sauce also not good. Since my hotel is minutes away, I will come back for some pho and spring rolls

The kitchen was gracious enough to split it into 2 bowls since we were sharing. And we still had leftovers! I wish we had more sprouts and cilantro on the side. I added Hoisin, soy sauce, and Sriracha. My mom added Jalapeños and Sriracha. Pretty good flavor when we added the sauces. The chicken wasn't the best quality, lots of fat that wasn't trimmed off. The cheese puffs were 2 stars. Nice crunch but simple. They are like crab rangoon minus the crab.

The beef noodle soup was good but not great, the octopus balls were easily the best tasting out of the two. Broth was lacking flavor and substance.

Incredible food. They could not present their buffet food in full-sized trays but the half trays were always fresh and refilled. My favorites were available especially the coconut shrimp. The hot and fresh baked spinach was amazing. The smallness of the place made the ambiance cozy and quiet enough to enjoy great food. Bathroom was clean as always. Owner and staff were hospitable as always. Owner even remembered me for my visits. Will always pass this place from the highway whenever I could..I sadly live around 3 hrs from it. Kudos and Godbless!

I ordered the pad Thai with duck. I order pad Thai often and this is hands down the best pad Thai I've ever had. It was so flavorful and I loved the portion size. I had leftovers for the next day. My dish came with a veggie roll that was delicious. The service was friendly and willing to have a conversation. Great food and great experience.

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.

Of course got my Hojicha (hot) with oat milk and 25% sugar, no boba. It was perfect. It was a little drizzley out and I was stopping to check on my tire situation (no flat!) Had to get a green onion pancake, you just can't resist. This is the quintessential Taiwanese snack, (any-time-day savory snack) that just brings back childhood memories for me. The crispy crunchy outer layer was perfect and before you take that first bite, light dip in the sauce... or doesn't need the sauce, it's that good. Amazing selection of drinks + savory snacks + chill atmosphere... what could be better?

It took about 30 minutes for us to receive our food order that we ordered online which to us was not that bad compared to other places we have been too! I enjoyed the dumplings very much! The sushi, the rolls were a bit bigger than I was used too. But, these 2 things honestly filled me up pretty good and I usually have to order more. I would def recommend trying the food out. I can't comment on the service inside or the location of the place. But, I will say should I ever be back again, i would def order from here.
