I'm always interested in a good Thai place and Celadon Thai happened to catch my eye…read more I stopped in for lunch and was greeted immediately by the warm and friendly staff and shown to a table. As I looked around, I noticed straight away how clean the establishment was and how you could look right into the kitchen. Definitely off to a great start! I ordered the chicken satay and vegetarian spring roll appetizers and it was delish! Next, the beef pad thai, the pad see ew noodles dish combo that had pork beef and shrimp as well as the tom yum noodle soup with seafood and it was all very good! To finish off, I decided to try the seasonal mango with sticky rice. It was definitely something different and in my opinion an acquired taste. I personally did not like the mouth feel of warm sticky rice and it was definitely unexpected. Sadly the fresh mango was somewhat stringy and also not as sweet as I'd hoped. Still, all in all a delicious experience and I will be back to try other dishes. So glad I stumbled upon Celadon Thai!

This is my all time favorite place. I could not recommend this enough times, to enough people…read more Malisa, Mark, Bo, and team are some of the best people around and it feels like going to a friend's house for dinner when you go. The food is phenomenal, my go-to is panang curry with salmon, crusty crab and an espresso martini. However, if your first time trying my tried and true recommendation is Sadudee chicken and you had me at hello or butterfly pea tea (NA) For dessert, you can not go wrong. Fried ice cream is probably my most ordered, but my very close second favorite is mango sticky rice with a small side of ice cream. The plants, soft lighting and music make for a relaxing experience. Keep an eye out for amazing specials!!

There's great ambiance in the booths and tables, to sit in the corner for privacy, room for groups, a welcoming bar, and even a few nice tables out front (albeit in the parking lot, but still more than most places can say). The cocktails also aren't bad and the Thai food is great. Sushi has been enjoyable too. Last night we did pick up, and the pad see u was saucy and delicious and ready in 15 min. Special shout out for the mango sticky rice - mango was *actually* ripe. Which is exciting if you're frequently let down by under ripe mangos.

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!

This is a case of don't judge a book by its cover. The outside of the building could use a bit of work. Inside, it's not a very big restaurant. The decor is simple, but the aromas from the food being cooked are fabulous. I arrived for lunch with a friend on a weekday. The young man who greeted us served as both the waiter and the host. I ordered a chicken Penang Curry. I realize the restaurant doesn't have a large staff. Still, it's able to get a lot done efficiently. Our server disappeared and came back with our orders a short time later. I couldn't tell if he also cooked our food and I didn't ask. There were two other tables occupied with customers. I have to say the meal By did not disappoint. I loved my Penang Curry. What's more, it was a lunch special which cost $10. Considering how much I ate, it was very reasonably priced. I've already thought about what I'll order the next time I come back. Can't wait.

Mike & Mike are very nice, friendly & patient in explaining their food, ingredients & how they make…read moreit. They know their stuff! 1st: I Do Not recommend the Pad Thai. Have had it at the Troy Farmer's Market & at the Student Union & for all their effort in making it, with 10 ingredients including mustard greens & bok choy, there is zero flavor. (Tried Chicken & tofu orders) The pad thai sauce needs some umami, fish sauce, tamarind? I'm not sure. Pad Thai is not supposed to be spicy, so I am confused as to everyone ordering it, & being asked a spice level. Maybe the spic covers up the non-sauce that the noodles are tossed in? I even trekked up to the student union to pick up lunch one day, and asked for extra Tamarind sauce. I got a dollop of brown sauce on top, that tasted like extra salty. Hoisin sauce. And then some more further down in the bowl. Such a disappointment, I couldn't eat all that salt, threw it out. Should I ask for "extra Thai flavor" next time? Really don't know. **Pad Thai is not a Spicy dish friends.** 2nd: Definitely go for: A Rice Bowl with -the string beans. Crispy with a kick of spice -the beets at the Farmer's Market. Never thought I would finish off beets, but this will convert you. I crave this! Too bad they don't have it at the RPI Student Union during the week. -green curry chicken is not bad. Spice comes on a little bit later. -The Mango Lassi is $4.(average since coffee & battenkill milk costs about the same at the Mkt.) A nice option to have, Mike said that it's made with rose water. Needs a bit more cardamom. -Had a nice to-go cold peanut noodle chicken noodle bowl from the RPI Student Union. They're now on a new remodeled floor at the Union, the menu looks smaller. Maybe it will take some time to build it back up, or they may not have the room for extras. -always fun seeing their homemade ice cream flavors according to the holiday. Very creative & fun chefs. Follow their Facebook for updates. So, too bad I had to average out my review to 3 stars for TMC, but the Pad Thai is very disappointing. My mother bought one & didn't like it either & she's more forgiving with food. Yet customers seem to really like it. Get schooled on Pad Thai at Sukothai in Albany folks! Or even Chom's Cafe In Troy.

Picnic Garden is one of the few retailers that has survived in the City Station complex, being open…read morealmost 3 years at this point. Are they going to survive? Who knows, but being the closest takeout to a couple hundred college students certainly helps. I have tried Picnic Garden on multiple occasions: once for the lunch buffet and for takeout the other times. The lunch buffet I had was mediocre, average for generic American Chinese restaurants with a small selection. The takeout was absolutely abysmal each time. The food was flavorless and the Szechuan dishes I ordered had no spice. What a shame. I live close enough to this place and prices are so low that I would be a frequent customer if it were at least average, but it's some of the worst Chinese food I have had in this country. I give this place another chance every few months only to be disappointed. I considered giving a second star because of the good prices, but you're better off buying (cheaper) food from the warmer at the nearby Stewart's.
