    Interior seating
    Coco M.

    So delicious! Odd little walkway to get inside the restaurant, unmarked door and front patio that looks like a derelict house. As soon as you enter the door, you'll be in a hallway but to the right is a set of stairs, an employee will seat you. The menu is full of standard Thai food. The waitress was working the whole dining room (about 16 people including us) but was really efficient and our food came fast! A house salad is included so be sure to get the awesome house dressing on it, I would order a bottle to go home if it were available. My Garlic Chicken was perfect and my bf had Panang Curry which was not spicy so we both enjoyed it.

    Some of my husband's coworkers had been here many times and loved the food. We decided to give it a try. It's a small place, so there might be a little wait. It looks like a family run business. I had the pineapple fried rice with chicken and my husband had the Thai fried rice with steak (not pictured). The waitress got his order wrong (misunderstanding) and gave him steak pho. but she replaced it with the fried rice. I highly recommend this place. Everything was delicious.

    I LOVE LOVE LOVE this place.. It's definitely a hidden gem in Danville but man am I so glad to have found it.. Food is amazing. Staff is so accommodating and friendly.. This spot is definitely my go to for date night.

    Chicken Satay

    Looks can be deceiving; we almost didn't go inside due to the outside appearance. Once we got inside it was cute with nice table settings that were worthy of a date night. The waitress was super nice and attentive. We got Chicken Satay; Tom Kha with tofu for the protein (not pictured but also beautiful); Panang Curry with chicken for the protein; "Crispy" Garlic Duck (to be fair, it was not even close to crispy when it arrived at the table due to the sauce it was in but it had great flavor) My husband and I are daydreaming about going back and trying everything on the menu. We will be back.

    Don't let the exterior fool you! This place had some of the best Thai food I've had in a while. The drinks were excellent!! The dining area is small & cozy. The service was phenomenal-very attentive & friendly! Will definitely be back!

    Even though the waiter got our order wrong and we never received our Thai tea, this is the best option for Thai food in the Danville area. Our bill was adjusted, the food was good, and we enjoyed both of our dishes.

    Tonight's special - Golden pampano (whole fried fish with pineapple chili sauce, vegetables, and jasmine rice)

    We have been to Moon River many times during the 5 years we've lived in Danville. They have the absolute BEST Thai food we have ever tried. Tonight we went to celebrate our anniversary, and everything was excellent. Dinner starts with a salad served with the world's BEST peanut dressing - it is to die for. We ordered the vegetable crispy roll appetizer (always delicious!). I had the special which was a whole fried fish with chili sauce and vegetables. My husband had crispy stir fried pork (listed as fried chicken, duck, or pork). The entrees come with a generous portion of jasmine rice (great to help cool down the spice if you order a spicy dish). Previously we have had the Thai iced tea, which is ultra refreshing and sweet, Thai fried rice with shrimp, pineapple fried rice with shrimp or tofu, cashew stir fry, basil stir fry, and pad see-ew with tofu and vegetables. Every meal we have tried has been delicious. If you don't like spicy food, don't worry. There are plenty of mild options on the menu. They have a spice level listed on the menu at the bottom right hand corner. I am so happy to live just a couple minutes away. We will definitely keep returning!!

    I came here for the first time on a complete whim. A friend was in town and wanted to grab lunch so…read morewe chose a place near my job. She actually looked up places and suggested Thai Chiang Mai. I never even knew it existed. It is tucked away on a side road that's easy to miss but now that I know where it is I'll definitely visit again. The inside is quant and charming and the service was attentive. I chose the yellow curry as it was on the lunch special for the day. Also opted for the papaya salad. It's a staple for me at most Thai restaurants and I can truthfully say this establishment had one of the best there is. It was sweet and spicy and vinegary .. well balanced. The yellow curry had so much flavor and just the right amount of spice. The lunch special comes with spring rolls and they were perfectly crispy. I will note they are on the more expensive side for lunch combos in the area but it's worth it. My lunch was over $30. I saw where the specials online had some marked as $8 but I believe they were about $17. Just a heads up.

    BEWARE OF THE RED PEPPER SYMBOL on the menu!!!! If you love spicy, indulge! If you are sensitive or…read morecan't handle spice, run faaaaar away from these items. Most places put a pepper symbol and it's not spicy at all, but this single red pepper symbol means business!!!!!! I'm sensitive to spice at the moment so eating my food was a bit of a marathon....but in a good way! Think runny nose & sweating hot with tons of delicious flavor. To start, we served wonton strips with a white yum yum type sauce which was a nice surprise. For our app we had the crab puffs (crab ragoons) which of course were not spicy, perfectly crispy and had the right amount of filling. I also ordered a dragon roll which came out after my main entree since the sushi bar was backed up. This actually worked out perfect because the cream cheese in the roll was a great way to calm the spice in my main entree. The mango and crab on the roll were very fresh, and the size was also pretty hefty for being an 8 piece roll. I could have easily made this into a lighter full meal. For my main entree I got the spicy basil with chicken (red pepper sign alert!!!), brown rice and miso soup. The miso soup was good as expected, the brown rice was cooked to perfection and served in a side bowl, and the main entree was plentiful with perfectly cooked veggies & chicken! This dish brought the heat but in a very good way!!! I couldn't get enough of that spicy basil flavor!!!! I only ate half the dish so looking forward to a delicious lunch today! Can't wait to come back and try more of their dishes but while I'm sensitive to spice at the moment I may avoid the pepper symbol for a bit!

    I ordered the vegetable Lo Mein (without mushrooms & onions). I've had other dishes here, like the…read moreveggie curries, that were great. But this Lo Mein is the worst I've ever tasted unfortunately. The noodles were mushy and overcooked. The "sauce" basically tasted like oily vegetable broth. As you can see from the veggies in the picture, they are just oily without a char and without any flavors. The dish honestly just looks bland as you can see. I can't tell if this was cooked in a microwave or an actual wok because there's no caramelization of any flavors. Nearly $20 for this dish on top of that. A lot of locals prioritize this place over other smaller Asian options here in Mebane but I'm not certain if I'd return for anything based on this waste of money.

While I would have been satisfied if it merely fulfilled a craving, Thai Square more than exceeded expectations. From an aesthetic standpoint, this is one of the nicer Thai restaurants in the area. It's bright and clean with a wall full of ornamental plates. Though it was busy at the time of my lunchtime visit, it seemed well-run. Staff were polite and attentive, and the kitchen had no trouble keeping up with demand. The som tam with shrimp was among the best versions of this dish that I've had. From the attractive plating to the freshness to the flavors (good amount of lime, not too heavy on the fish sauce), it was satisfying across the board. It wasn't at all spicy, which would ordinarily be a red flag (white people Thai food, five-yard penalty), but in fairness, it wasn't requested as such. Provided that Thai Square can bring the heat if you ask for it, the execution here is top-notch. I don't know if the rest of Thai Square's menu compares favorably to the dish that I had, but I hope to eventually find out. For Thai fans in Greensboro, this place is definitely worth a visit.

I would not choose this appetizer again. It just did not taste good. No seasoning. It did not taste fresh. Service was okay. Nothing special. We were there during the lunch rush so we saw our server as they rushed from one table to the next. Not a lot of time to make you feel welcomed from the moment we came in to leaving. I was visiting my niece in Greensboro so I would probably try another Thai restaurant before I circled back around to this one.
