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.

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!

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.
Darien C.

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!

Lao Sausage w/ Sticky Rice, Wings, Drunken Noodles

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

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!

Salt and Pepper Tofu, Chicken Lo Mein, Tom Yum Soup
Melanie W.

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.

This is a revised rating in which I downgraded them from my original 4* rating to 2*. I was very…read moredisappointed in the changes to the place since my last visit, maybe a year ago. Showing up after church, the dining area was only about 20% full. It is located in a very dismal strip mall. It is a bright spot and has not brought any life back to it. Once inside, the ambiance and decorations still make you glad you arrived. There are wonderful bamboo sculptures, vases, and flowers. On my first review, I praised the open kitchen and how you could see the chef hand pull noodles. That is covered up now because their original offering of eight different shapes made on site is down to only one. Two other offerings are NOT made on site. I ordered flat noodles and was quite disappointed. They were not made there, were overcooked and tasted bland. The broth and the meat were still wonderful. While service was excellent when they first opened, it is quite poor now. You must order off a tableside wireless computerized menu. I do not like that, preferring the nice menu they had before so I could skim and scan to zero in on my choice. When I asked if I was allowed to talk to my server, she said, "only if I am not busy". Sorry, but I like to discuss the menu options to learn more and see if I could customize my order. At the end of the meal, my server asked if everything was OK. I voiced the complaints listed above and she said, "Yea, well, that's the way it is now. You must have come when we first opened. Things have changed." One of the employees from the back made me very uncomfortable. When he was not busy (which was often) he would stand behind the counter and either cross his arms or put them on his hips and stare at the dining area. I had a very hard time avoiding his gaze. I thought his interest was on me only. I will NOT come back. There are better restaurants closer to my house. This place has really gone downhill. In fact, she said that the same owners owned another nearby restaurant. I will not be there either.

We had a show in the area and decided to stop by for a bite--so glad we did! Parking was plentiful…read moreonce we found it. The place is cozy. Ordering from the tabletop computer was easy, though I wish starters came out first since everything arrives as it's made. Also, I'd love if they moved the soda machines from the kitchen window--it would be nice to watch the staff make the noodles they're known for. We ordered the pork bao buns, hamburger, General Tso's chicken, and beef noodles with brown sauce. Every dish was delicious, but the General Tso's was easily the best I've ever had--perfectly balanced, not overly sauced or battered. The noodles and broth were also amazing. We were too full to finish the burger, but it was still tasty. I'd definitely come back to try more. Shoutout to Jadin for her friendly, refreshing service! Next time, leave the broth

Stopped by Sabaidee Cafe for a late Sunday lunch with my daughter, and as always, it did not…read moredisappoint! We ordered the green bean salad, fried meatballs, Firecracker Shrimp, 505 fried chicken skins, and chicken Pad Thai, along with a green Thai tea. The green bean salad at level 3 spice was perfect--just the right amount of heat with a fresh, crunchy texture that made every bite enjoyable.The Firecracker Shrimp definitely lived up to its name with a nice kick, while the fried meatballs were cooked perfectly--crispy on the outside, soft with a pleasant chew on the inside. Both paired wonderfully with the sweet chili sauce served alongside them.The 505 fried chicken skins were another standout. They had the perfect crunch and the seasoning added just enough spice to keep you reaching for another piece. To cool things down, I ordered the green Thai tea, which was sweet, refreshing, and the perfect complement to all the spicy dishes. The chicken Pad Thai is always a favorite. The noodles have that perfect chewy texture, and the portion size is generous enough to enjoy for a second meal later. Our server was Jaylin and she was ate five and came by to check in to make sure we didn't need anything! The cafe has a laid back atmosphere. Sabaidee Cafe continues to be one of my go-to spots for consistently delicious food, generous portions, and great flavors. Highly recommend!
