    Ginger Wings
    D'Llisha D.

    I can't say enough great things about Pad Thai! From the warmness of the servers to the amazing food it's become one of my absolute faves!

    Pad Thai with Chicken
    Kelsey B.

    This is my favorite Thai restaurant in Murfreesboro. Everything I've tried so far has been fantastic, but my go-to is the Pad Thai with chicken. If you haven't tried Pad Thai Cafe yet, I highly recommend adding it to your list!

    Hands down the best Thai food in Murfreesboro. The 808 wings are not on the menu, ask for them

    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.

    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!

    Crab Rangoon! Couldn't find the crab though.

    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!

    Salt and Pepper Tofu, Chicken Lo Mein, Tom Yum Soup

    I love visiting Murfreesboro for Pad Thai Cafe's salt & pepper tofu and those cozy, chill vibes. They give portions that will fill you up. Their staff is so kind! I wish they could be in every city I visit.

    Lao Cucumber Salad - Tum Tang
    Steven R.

    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.

    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!

    Breanna H.

    The food is very good and has alot of flavor. Love the atmosphere and design of the place. Service is great and very helpful with ideas of what to eat. Definitely will be coming back.

    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.

    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!!!

    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.

    Perfect!!!! Tasty, great quality. Lack of parking is the only drawback! Possibly the best Thai restaurant in Murfreesboro!

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