    Pad Thai
    Angela L.

    This cute place located in downtown Durham, is spacious that can hold both small groups and big parties. The decorations are so cute. The food quality is great as well. No wonder they are busy all the time. The food are authentic as well.

    By far the best Thai in the triangle. Perfect for a date night. Come a bit on the earlier side to avoid the wait. I recommend trying the whole fried fish!

    Mango sticky rice
    Rachel C.

    I've tried Thai Angle's pad see ew before which was pretty good. This time I went, the pineapple fried rice was not what I hoped. Not much flavor so I had to put soy sauce on it. I also tried my friend's green curry which had a pretty good flavor. The mango sticky rice was really good and there was good service. Chill and calming decor. Even though I'm disappointed in the fried rice, I'd probably give this another shot since other dishes I tried were pretty good.

    I had no idea the restaurant changed from Dos Perros to Thaiangle until Valentine's Day when we were downtown and saw it. We've been looking for a good Thai restaurant and may have juat found it. The decor was very nice and the food was great. We ordered the Chef's special Pacific Rim and Spicy Bamboo with beef. Portions were definitely large. The PaciRim had a good amount of seafood and a hearty amount of beef i. The spicy bamboo. We ordered both hot. The seafood was spicier and great flavor. Drinks were good and decently priced. We had great service and enjoyed our coenwrner table in the bar. The restaurant definitely got busy as the evening went on. We will be back to try the wings for sure and some of the other dishes.

    Chicken satay
    Christine W.

    The chicken satay I got was delicious! The business there was so good that our waitress couldn't come by often. Other than that, the food was on point. The ambiance was nice, but the A/C was definitely broken tonight.

    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.

    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.

    Pad Thai

    Thai Angle never misses for me. It has to be the most reliable delivery of Thai food in the Triangle area, and they don't skimp on the heat. If you ask for hot, you will get hot. If medium, it may still be a bit hot. We got yellow curry, drunken noodles, and pad thai. I didn't try the pad thai as I don't typically enjoy this dish. But yellow curry and drunken noodles were 5/5. Flavors were spot on and portions were large. Priced well for the quality. Ambience is family-friendly with Thai decor. There was a line when we went in on Friday night, but people were seated within 15 minutes.

    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!

    We did a carry out. The portion size is decent. We had the Thai basil fried rice and Panang curry. The fried rice was good but the panang curry could have been better and more flavorful

    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!

    Susan S.

    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 dinner we have had the Shrimp and Bomb chicken on the board specials, spicy Basil wiith beef and Spicy Cashew Nut with chucken. The shrimp dish was light, flavorful and spicy. The Bomb Chicken to me was a spin on sweet and sour... only liggtly sweet and a good spicy. The spicy basil and spicy cashew are heartier disher and full of flavor. Our server reccommeded a 3 out of 4 and to add more if not spicy enough. Excellent recommendation. Great family run restaurant and we thoroughly enjoy the great dishes and very generous portions.

Our server was funny friendly, and helpful. Great spot if seeking some solid Thai food. Would definitely return.

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. Since I had my Philippino friend along she told us what she liked as well as the helpful server. The food was delicious and had a beautiful presentation.

The Thai Chicken Salad tasted a bit like Thai / Lao style Laab (not sure with the difference is between Thai and Lao style) but with much less herbs and seasoning. The Drunken Noodles were pretty standard but it didn't have much spice to it. The Wonton Noodle Soup had a nice light broth but the Wontons didn't have much meat in them. A few of the tables were missing condiments (sriracha, hoisin sauce, chili sauce) but since it was pretty empty we were able to grab them from other tables. Overall not that bad for Thai food. Was pretty disappointed they didn't have some staples like Papaya Salad or Sticky Rice but food was good overall. I will say the napkins they provide are nice!

However, we were utterly disappointed with our food there. The bao buns had a tender pork in it but the only sauce it included was hoisin which made it too salty. The Korean fried chicken in the 'Spicy' flavor was flavorless. The sauce was extremely bland alongside the chicken meat inside. Don't let the red bright color deceive you, we kept wondering when the 'spice' would kick it (it never did!). We each got a curry udon and added chicken to it. As frequent curry eaters, we wanted the Asian flavors we enjoy however, this udon was bland as well. The chicken we asked to be added felt like it was just chopped and put over the udon with no actual flavor integration into the dish. We left this place feeling like it was a waste of our money.

They had two vegan options, and my partner & I both got the Biang Biang noodles. It was good, and perhaps even better the next day (the serving was big enough that I couldn't finish it). My sister got the Jjajiang Mian & absolutely loved it. This was a very positive experience, but not mindblowing--I think that the hype around the "M" restaurants perhaps raised my expectations a bit too much. It's also possible that their non-vegan options are stronger than their vegan options. Overall, though, very yummy, the prices are very reasonable for Durham ($16 for the Biang Biang noodles), and I would come back & try the veggie curry if given the chance.
