The food here is absolutely amazing. No need to go anywhere else. Plus the folks are very nice and focused on you! The Thai Dynamite (Chicken) is by far my fav and as others have commented- they make Spring rolls freshly made- hot Golden Brown and crunchy busting with great flavors. Note-These are not those crappy soggy rolls made a few days ago like you get at Taste of China. Give Pad Thai Cafe a try- you won't regret your decision. read more

I love this thai place. The food is off the charts, made to order (so it takes some time), and hot. Everything I've gotten here is great, the pad thai has a nice blend of spices and noodles, and you can ask them to make it spicer if needed. Its a small restaurant so there's not a lot of seating, and it can take some time to get seated. Overall, fantastic food and I'll be back when I want thai food. read more

Pad Thai Cafe - Pad thai - Thai Near Me - Murfreesboro, Tennessee

I made the drive out to Murfreesboro after hearing so many great things, and it was absolutely worth it! Since it's first come, first served, I was a little concerned going in with a group of six, but we were seated in about 25 minutes. The staff was incredibly friendly, and the space felt homey and clean. We ordered the papaya salad, pad Thai, curry, and drunken noodles. Everything was delicious. Portions are generous, and the flavors really hit. The pad Thai stood out with its bold flavor and nice crunch from the peanuts. Can't wait to be back. read more

This is my absolute favorite spot and for one reason which I will get to shortly. The parking is not the best and they stay packed but it's because it's so good. My first time, I got an appetizer and dish. After the appetizer, I knew that would be my forever dish. No matter where I travel no one else makes this dish. I do the boneless chicken with ginger and when I say it's amazing. I have ordered two, one for now and one for later. As I mentioned, it's not a large spot but definitely worth it. My only draw back is the cheese wontons have bacon and I don't eat pork. read more

Once again this place did not disappoint! Food was served hot and service was great. This is the best Thai food in the area! The only drawback is the parking lot is tight which makes it a nightmare since this place is always so busy. read more

Y'all.... I'm reluctant to make a review because I don't want it to get too popular where I can't get a seat. But they come highly recommended. The ginger salt wings were extra yummy with perfect crunch. The tom kha soup is the best I've ever had. Super flavorful and fresh; could cure any cold. I had the beef yum salad as well. The sauce was so tasty, beef perfectly cooked (not chewy like some) and all the vegetables made enough for two meals. Will go back again and again. read more

My bf is an MTSU grad and him & his family always drive the long stretch from Franklin to Murfreesboro and back to get celebratory meals from Pad Thai Cafe. I love it so much, they got it for my birthday celebration this year. Our go-to orders for 4-6 people include: * 2 orders of the dynamite chicken wings (level 2 heat/spice) - literally the best flavored wings I've ever had - they are a hit with everyone! * 2 orders of the drunken noodles with beef (level 2) * Thai fried rice - chicken * Pad Thai with shrimp * Pad Sew Ew with beef (level 2) * Occasionally, spring rolls And - we are usually given complimentary ginger dressing salads and fortune cookies. We call ahead and pick up, and the staff are always so kind and helpful to package things well for us. FYI - if you order the dynamite wings to go, ask them to line the box with aluminum foil because the heat of the wings sometimes melts the styrofoam. I honestly would love it if they got more eco-friendly and human-friendly packaging - we found some shreds of aluminum foil mixed in our food, which was unpleasant. I can't not give them 5 stars though, so worthy of it! The ambiance inside for those visiting is very dimly lit, calming, and a bit tight/cramped. They have an adjacent food market that's worth a visit if you have a wait. Hands down the best quality Thai in Middle Tennessee - from Franklin, Nashville, Murfreesboro, this is our #1 spot! There is plenty of parking in this shared plaza lot. read more

This is a "small" spot. 3 booths and about 5 two people tables. They also have a small bar area. Parking outside is limited as it's shared with other businesses. No reservations so depending on the time of day, just be prepared for a short wait. Their service is amazing, fast & concise. They have menus as well as QR codes for digital one. The food it's always great and comes out relatively quick. The taste is in point. Everything we've had it's amazing and as authentic as you'll find it. Just know they mean it with the spicy level. They don't play with it. Definitely a must try! read more

Tried Pad Thai Cafe for the first time last night! My sister recommended it and said she has frequented their restaurant since moving to the 'Boro. The place is a cute little trendy spot located in a small retail center off the main road. My husband and I each ordered the Thai tea for drinks and wanted to give their crab Rangoon a try. Keep in mind it's not the typical crab Rangoon with cream cheese and crab. Theirs has mozzarella cheese and bacon for the filling, definitely a different take on the traditional dish! I love the wonton wrappers they use, just wish they had an option for the cream cheese/crab filling cause I was missing that. For our dinner we ordered the pork pad Thai with Phanaeng curry and fried rice. Everything was delicious and fresh! Highly recommend all three dishes. The quality of pork they use is great! Overall we enjoyed everything from the food to the service we received. Will definitely be back for more! They also own the Asian grocery store next door so make sure to stop by there and check out what they have! read more

I was really craving Som Tum but they were out of papaya the day I went. I settled for the Lao Cucumber salad aka Tum Tang and ordered it spice level 6 out of 5. I had two different staff come out and ask if I really wanted it that spicy. Yes. I did. I came out perfectly spicy for me. It went really well with the Lao Sausage with Sticky Rice. Both were unexpected finds in Tennessee. I enjoyed the lime based jeow sauce that came with the sausage. I mixed it with the cabbage, carrots and fried garlic that came with the sausage and ate it like a salad. Overall the food was delicious and authentic. Nice and clean interior. I would give it 5 stars but I'm taking away one because they charged $2 for the extra spice level without telling me before hand that there would be an upcharge. It's the little things sometimes. read more

The ONLY thing holding me back from 5 stars was the fact that they never brought me sauce for my spring roll, otherwise everything was fantastic! The best pad se ew I've had in the boro so far, their pad thai is also exceptional! Very cozy blue hue inside the restaurant makes me feel like I'm in blade runner when I eat here. A great spot to eat! read more

Food is delicious and fresh! Sooo much food you can order 1 dish and share. Pic is with a good amount of the chicken wings already eaten. Do not miss the chicken wings!! read more

Wow, a hidden GEM! Amazing and authentic Thai/Laos cuisine. Drunken noodles and pad Thai noodles were some of the best I've ever had! They were so so flavorful and juicy and I was so impressed. Every bite was amazing. On the drunken noodles, they put fresh cucumbers on top and I really enjoyed that. If you like crab rangoons, you have to get them here! They're in a thin wrapper fried but the filling is so smooth and tasty. Also one of the best crab rangoons I've ever had! They do have bacon in them and thats probably the special ingredient. I also go the shrimp Tom yum soup and they give big pieces of shrimp. The Tom Yum was delicious, hot and a little sour, lots of lemongrass. read more

Pad Thai Cafe is my most favorite restaurant in all of Murfreesboro! I absolutely love every dish on the menu, but have about Five favorites that I lean towards because of the amazing flavors. I so wish that I could cook Thai/Lao food this well. I have been coming here for the entire 14 years of living in Murfreesboro and have introduced so many people to this place, because you want to share the things you love with others. The service has always been top notch! Tommy is an amazing chef and Christian always makes you smile and feel at home. All of the staff are great. I also love the comfortable ambience of the restaurant, it feels like you've walked into your own home! The only thing that stinks is when you are one of the ones waiting to get in because it is such a hot spot now, that it gets packed quickly and often! But it's always worth the wait!!! read more

I went into the Asian Mini Market today not even knowing the restaurant was attached. I found everything I needed at the store and the cashier, Elijah, enticed me into the Cafe. I saw Pad Thai on the menu and thought why not. I ordered a chicken and a tofu pad Thai. Both were very good. Nice solid portions and fresh flavors!! I ordered a 3 (1-5 for hot levels) and it was perfect on the heat!! Everything about it was good and tasty. I'll definitely throw this stop in my mix. read more

We have been here a couple times. The restaurant is very small therefore it gets busy quickly. Service is friendly. Once you get seated, service is efficient. We have ordered salads, rice and a couple of shrimp dishes and all of it was delicious. I do appreciate that they ask upfront the spicy level you would like. As for ambiance, it can get pretty noisy but that is because they are busy and restaurant is small. read more

Hands down the best Thai and vibes in the boro! Every time we come in we're greeted with smiles even when they're packed and busy (which is common) the food is always fresh and delicious and the flavors are out of this world! They're right on point with the spice levels and are happy to modify things for allergies or taste. Elijah is always so kind and friendly! We love the playlists he makes for the restaurant and he's always so kind to my daughter! He's just the best! If I could come multiple times a week I would! Definitely my number one place to bring anyone visiting! read more

Great food, great people!! The servers were so kind and helpful! Definitely the go-to restaurant :)

Great Thai. Try for an early dinner and you won't have to wait for a seat--although it's worth the wait!!!

Visited Pad Thai Café for a late lunch today, a small place in a strip plaza. Sadly, I've driven by it so many times and never noticed the place. Ordered a BeerLao (really good Laotian lager), a small Tom-yum Chicken soup, and the specialty of the house...Thai Dynamite at Level 1 spice. The soup and the meal came out together...so I dug into both at the same time. I'm not easily impressed, but when the soup was cool enough to eat I was blown away. The broth is "comfort in a bowl" with fragrant herbs, spices, diced vegetables still holding their bite, and tender chunks of chicken. This bowl of delight ranks as one of the best I've had in a very long time. The Thai Dynamite was just that...explosive. I ordered the combination version with chicken, beef, and shrimp. I am glad I went with Level 1, it allowed me to experience a little heat but still enjoy all of the incredible flavors in this dish. The meats have a special flavor and texture I assume comes from the frying part of the process...it really adds to the dish. Your palate will experience so many sensations and textures, from the fried rice to the lightly cooked vegetables...all bathed in a wonderfully sweet, sour, and spicy basil sauce. I must admit...this dish really impressed me. I cannot remember a time when a dish had so many combinations of flavors and textures. Exceptional food and solid service...looking forward to trying some of the noodle items. They also have a small grocery next door with a variety of Asian food and vegetables...well worth a visit to stock your shelves at home. read more

100%, hands-down, the absolute best Thai/Asian style food in all of Tennessee. Always 100% fresh, cooked to order, and beyond delicious. Small place with only about 10 tables, and it fills up quick! Some nights they even sell out and have to close up early. It's that good. Have been about 7-8 times now, and I honestly think it gets better every time! read more

This is probably one of the best Thai restaurants in murfressboro. Everything I've tried here has been super good! We usually order to go since the restaurant is super small and it can fill up quick.

Pad Thai doesn't seem like much but it's probably the best that Murfreesboro has to offer. It's one of the better restaurants in all of Murfreesboro. They have a pretty extensive menu with a lot of options that don't disappoint. Sesame chicken and pho is our favorites. Don't grab the fortune cookies at the front. They are all stale lol read more

I dined at Pad Thai Cafe on Friday, January 27, 2023 at 7:30 pm. I'm a frequent diner at Pad Thai Cafe and have eaten here for both lunch and dinner. I can say that despite how very busy it gets during peak hours, the service and food quality is generally consistent. Just be prepared to wait a while, but it will definitely be worth the wait. The papaya salad had the authentic flavor profile that is not too fishy and right amount of level of spice as requested. The crispy ginger pepper squid had good seasoning, but the texture wasn't there. I'd prefer the squid to be crispy. The wings variant had a nice balance of seasoning between sweetness, saltiness, and pepperyness. The wings were crispy and perfectly cooked. I highly recommend the wings over the squid. The Thai style fried rice was average. It did come much later than the rest of the orders. I felt like it could use a bit more seasoning and time on the wok as it was missing that smoky char flavor. The spring rolls were fresh and make a good starter to any heavy meal. Service was pretty good given how busy they are. Our table was regularly checked on - probably because our table was in the front. If you have a party of 5+ people, they charge an automatic 18% gratuity. So be careful when you're about to pay and they ask if you want to add additional tip. read more
