    Pad see eew
    Sydney H.

    I came here on a wednesday night and it was pretty busy. As soon as we walked in there was a line of people waiting to be seated. There was no hostess or anyone to greet or tell us how long the wait would be. Multiple servers walked by the line, but no one was acknowledged at all. We waited about 20 minutes before a server came to bring us to our table. However, once we were sat our service was much better. We ordered shu mai to start. The shu mai was just okay and it was $9 for 4 pieces. our group order beef thai basil, chicken spicy bamboo and i ordered the pad see ew and a thai iced tea. All of our food came out pretty quickly considering how busy they were. The portions were very big and we all left with leftovers. My pad see ew was pretty good but i do wish it had a little more flavor and that the noodles were a little thicker.

    Drunken noodles and Panang curry
    Meghan M.

    This is my new favorite Thai spot in the Triangle! Really good food and if you get the tofu option, they go hard on the veggies, which I appreciated. The portions are also huge! I got the drunken noodles, and ended up with leftovers. This rendition of drunken noodles truly blew me out of the water; the noodles were perfectly cooked and the dish was so flavorful. Also had the mango sticky rice for dessert, which was solid; the rice was a bit hard for my liking, so I probably won't be getting that again. On the weekdays, they do a $15 lunch special with many of their most popular dishes. Unfortunately, the lunch special isn't available on weekends. Service was on top of it initially but as the restaurant got busier, we did end up waiting a while to get boxes for our food and receive our checks. Ambiance is nice and tastefully decorated. I definitely will be coming back!

    Gyoza (Steamed)
    Jiyoung S.

    When it's cold outside, my body needs Thai food. A friend recommended this place after seeing them on social media, and oh boy, the hype was real. We came for dinner on Thursday night around 6:30 pm, and this place was packed. We had to wait quite some time to be seated, and it took more time to be served. If possible, I would go here a little earlier than that time. Also know what you want and order them as soon as you can since you may need to sit for a while until you can grab the server's attention. We got Steamed Gyoza for the table, I got Pacific Rim - Hot, and my friends got other dishes. I ate every drop of my dish. It was absolutely banging, perfect for a cold night. Their menu is so extensive, and I cannot wait to try more food!! Parking wasn't that convenient. Either street parking or park at the parking deck. There are parking spaces throughout downtown Durham, so you will find something.

    Papaya salad
    Kassim C.

    What I recommend: The coconut soup, drunken noodles, papaya salad, and a cold Chang beer This was my first time dining in at Thai Angle after having takeout a few times, and the experience was fantastic. We ordered the coconut soup, which came in a huge portion that easily feeds two to three people, and got it very spicy. It was incredible. The drunken noodles were also a massive portion with great flavor, and the papaya salad was fresh and bright. The Chang beers came in ice cold chilled glasses, which made them even better. Overall, Thai Angle is great bang for your buck. It is slightly pricier than spots like Thai on Main, but the portions are much larger and the quality is top tier. The ambience is great, the service is always 10 out of 10, and the staff makes you feel taken care of. As a Thai food enthusiast, this is my number one Thai spot in Durham. Definitely add it to your list, and get here early because the line gets long fast.

    Drunken Noodles with Chicken
    Kristine N.

    My friends and I are always on the lookout for good Thai food in the area, and Thaiangle did not disappoint. I ordered the Drunken Noodles, and honestly, it's probably the best version I've had around here so far. You can choose your protein and spice level, and what really stood out to me was the wok hei flavor that came through--super flavorful and well-balanced. We came right when they opened and were seated immediately, but the restaurant filled up quickly, so I'd recommend getting there early if you don't want to wait. Service was quick, and it's a family run restaurant, which made it feel like a home-cooked meal experience. I'll definitely be back to try more of their dishes!

    We drive from Cary just to eat here. Food is amazing and they serve brown rice. Servers get orders right, deliver the food hot and are extremely nice. The restaurant is beautiful and very clean. Making this a regular place in our rotation. If you have time, take a walk around the American Tobacco District across few blocks away.

    For parking, you will either have to park in a lot or find street parking. There was plenty of street parking on N Church Street and Cleveland Street which is located right behind the restaurant. My sister and I came in on a Friday night and we were pretty worried at first because there was a line almost out the door. But thankfully, we were seated within less than 10 minutes. We ordered the following: - Thai Iced Tea - Tom Kha Chicken - Pad See Ew The Thai iced tea was sweet and refreshing! As for the other 2 dishes, they were both delicious! I loved the presentation of the tom kha chicken and how the soup stayed nice and warm which is perfect for the chilly fall weather. I also appreciated how the soup was filled with mushrooms, chicken, and bamboo. And with all the lemongrass and spices used, every sip was fantastic! Pad See Ew is always a safe/classic option when you don't know what to order. My sister and I enjoyed this savory and satisfying noodle dish. Not to mention, the portion size is huge- we even had to take some home. The dishes came out within 15 minutes of placing the order so I appreciate how fast and diligent the workers and cooks were despite it being so busy! Everything we ordered here was delicious and I can't wait to come back again!

    Gyoza
    Vraj P.

    My friends found this restaurant and wanted to try it in Durham. I started off with the Thai tea. Although it was good, I did feel like it was lacking a little bit of flavor. Afterwards, we got the Gyoza. These were actually pretty good and we ate them very quickly. Finally I got the drunken noodles with chicken spicy. The portion size for this was massive. It was very well spiced and I would get it again. The inside felt like a good cozy atmosphere with plenty of seating. We went on a Thursday and were able to get seated immediately. Service was a little bit slow, but they were pretty busy inside. Prices were on the higher end, but match the portion sizes. No direct parking, but there are parking decks around the area. Overall, I really like this place and I would come back. Definitely want to try the Panang curry next time.

    Thai wings
    Danielle O.

    When I initially was going to come here I was a little frustrated with trying to call to check if they did reservations because the phone number only went straight to voicemail and I was confused. When we arrived though, it was very cute and clean inside and all of the staff was super friendly, attentive and kind. The seats are a bit uncomfortable though, I sat in the chair and it was very hard, luckily I had my sweater to sit on. Not sure how the benches are. The server seemed confused on our question about what herbs went into the summer rolls, so maybe they should be slightly more knowledgeable about their menu but that's pretty small compared to how attentive they are. Probably more serious though if there are any allergies. We got the chicken pad Thai, Mongolian beef, Thai wings and coconut cake and they were all very good. The mongolian beef was good quality and definitely fresh but not the flavor profile I think of when I eat Mongolian beef, tasted more like a stewed beef. The wings and pad Thai though were amazing! Great portions too. The cake was super fluffy and moist. I will definitely be back to try more items!

    Pad Thai shrimp
    Ryan C.

    I've been here many times and the food is always amazing. I would recommend. Sometimes the appetizer comes after the entree so just be aware if you like it before your meal. Once thing I will say is they really need to hire a host. The servers are seating you and running around the whole time. I do believe this would fix some of their timing issues. If they are busy plan to wait at least 45 minutes for your food. The food is very good but adding a few additional people like a host could help a ton.

    Red curry with chicken
    Shanelle Y.

    I've been wanting to come back here for a while and I finally did last night! I brought 2 of my friends with me and we ordered dumplings to share, curry, and khao soi. The food was delicious and they both loved it. I stand by my previous statement that this is indeed the best Thai food in Durham!

    Khao Soi
    Kulaly K.

    I have been here multiple times and I would say it's the best Thai food in the triangle area. This time I got the khao soi and it did not disappoint. Service is always exceptional and the decor is very cute inside. For parking, there is a lot across the street and a parking garage right next to the lot if the lot is full. Street parking is also available around the area.

    Overall: I think Thai Angle is a great place to come get some quick Thai food. I found the flavors a bit strong, but sometimes I am craving that. Quick turnaround time on the food from the time I ordered. Food: The food here comes out quickly and are pretty good portions. Flavor-wise, it was strong, to some people this may be a weak point since the more delicate flavors are almost completely masked. Service: The service was great! The waiters are very attentive and come quickly to help refill water often. The food comes out very quickly, I imagine their to-go situation is also equally fast. Ambiance: This is a calm sit-down environment. Still casual, but the vibes inside are soft ambiance.

    This is one of our go-to spots. My wife is pretty selective with food, and this place never misses. Everything we've had has been solid.

Of the many restaurants downtown, I especially appreciate Thai At Main Street's flexibility around serving large groups on relatively short notice. We came here on a Friday night (always busy in Durham). We called half an hour in advance for a group of 8 people, and by the time we arrived they had a table ready for us. The inside isn't large, but even though all of the tables were full, the volume was very reasonable. At our table of eight, we had no trouble hearing one another and conversed as a group. Service was prompt (even though the place was packed), and the food came out within 15-20 minutes. I got the Drunken Noodles, which I've had here before & always enjoy. My partner got the Pad See Ew, which was also phenomenal. Two in our party got the pineapple fried rice, which was a big hit (even with my slightly picky younger sister!).

Lol The place was packed and we were walk ins but the owner was at the reception desk and told us to wait and she might be able to find us a table. We were in luck and she directed us to the back room. The server was extremely knowledgeable about all the dishes.
