If you know what to order this place is the bomb!!! (To the people at NSA who are screening this-you're welcome!) The combination pad see ew is delicious!!!! It's even better than drunken noodles (without the heartburn). We also got Panang curry with nutty brown rice (great pairing). Lastly, we got the food sampler #1 which is good if you are in the mood for multiple dishes but want to save money or calories. Also, wherever I go I usually get curry puffs and am rarely dissapointed. They are delicious slighty sweet and savory curry filled puff pastry with a tangy sweet and spicy vinegar dipping sauce. They are no way taste the same as empanadas and are never ever dry. You must try them the next time you eat Thai food! The service is 5 stars! The waiters were very patient and helpful. They answer all questions with a smile. read more

After far too many hours of trudging through baby stores in search of a double stroller, we were in the middle of Springfield, totally disinterested in nearby options: Chipotle, McDonald's and IceBerry. Luckily, my husband hopped on his Yelp app and found Thai Cafe. The exterior is far from impressive, but boy is the food good! The people are friendly and the interior is very clean, albeit sparce. We started with the soft rolls, which actually weren't particularly interesting...especially for $7. However, our main dishes were excellent. I had the Massaman curry, and my husband had the chicken pad thai (boring, but we love to compare the different preparations). The curry had a delicious flavor and perfect consistency. Not too spicy, not too sweet. The pad thai was generous, and had ample peanuts and beansprouts (which we like). One of the best pad thai's we've had in the Falls Church/Arlington area. If only it were closer....... read more

I ate here after coming back from Bangkok this past weekend, and the tom yum chicken soup I had here was just as good as the real deal in Thailand. Their thin spicy drunken noodles are excellent. The Massuman curry leaves something to be desired. And the peanut sauce that they serve with the chicken satay is super yummy. Definitely coming back here again. This place is hard to find. It's near right across the street from the Barnes and Noble. read more

Good Thai food and the best are the drunken noodles and red curry! Fastest service here!

First time here but I feel I've eaten enough Thai food to judge. Got Drunken noodles with beef Thai spicy. I thought it was delicious. I was a little puzzled with it on top of some lettuce but it wasn't a lot and the spices and flavor was throughout dish so even the little lettuce was yummy. The flat rice noodles were just the way I like them and really love that chili Thai basil flavorI got a Singha beer and a Thai coconut custard all for approx. $20.... Really good bang for the buck!! I will be back! read more

Thai Café - Drunken noodles Thai spicy - Thai Near Me - Springfield, Virginia

We had a very enjoyable dinner! Started with the spring rolls- crispy,hot and tasty. Then we had Larb. Yummy! Light with a bit of a kick to it. Finished off with pad see ew. First time we tried it- but not the last! It was great. Top off the good food with great service and we totally enjoyed our evening. Elaine and Richard read more

Food is always fresh and flavorful. Love all of the curry dishes. Chef always presents the dishes beautifully. The thai custard would have to be my only disappointment. It's more of a bread pudding consistency than a custard. But the prices are right and it's convenient to the Springfield mall/and DMV beltway. Craving some Panang curry now and I just ate it. read more

Thai Café - Vegtable Panang curry and shrimp thai fried rice - Thai Near Me - Springfield, Virginia

Once again, this place is absolutely great. I could eat here forever and ever. Everything that a restaurant should be, is this place. Good customer service, efficient delivery, and fantastic food. Thumbs up! read more

Food is amazing! I've been here twice and had the curry both times! Once with pumpkin and shrimp and then with catfish. I also had the mango sticky rice which was good but I have had better. I'm sure this dessert is better in the summer when mangos are in season. Service is great and friendly. Clean facility. read more

This was such a great find! The service was fast and really nice very vegan and vegetarian friendly! Best Thai I have ever had they every had a pineapple raisin fried rice that was AMAZING read more

We've ordered from here several times for delivery and eaten in the restaurant once. Previous experiences have generally been good. However today we waited an hour and 15 minutes for an order that was mediocre at best. The food was lukewarm and the Pad See Ew (my go to) was almost inedible - noodles were like mush in my mouth. As much as we have enjoyed them in the past, there is better Thai food to be had in this area after a disappointment like this. read more

The Pad See Ew is delicious. I'm always satisfied with their customer service. I like eating at the restaurant (very clean) or ordering delivery. One of my absolute faves in VA. Greatest Thai in all of Northern VA. read more

Amazing customer service and attention st details . Was my first time there with a friend , I will definitely go back . Quiet , clean , delicious. read more

My husband and I absolutely loves this restaurant l! We'll definitely return soon, hungry for more! Both service and quality of food are worth the 5 stars. read more

A not-so hidden gem. I've heard about this place for years and only hadn't gone because I had another Thai place I had been going to forever. When I finally decided to try it not only was I upset that I waited so long, but I vowed to never to go to another Thai restaurant in NoVA. This place is absolutely authentic and delicious. There lunch specials are a great deal and they'll even deliver to a large radius than you'd expect. I love all the noodle dishes! read more

I just got their thai tea and some coconut custard and the peanut curry with potatos and onions, overall everything was quite appetizing. I really enjoyed the coconut custard over everything, I ate that mostly! I found the potatoes to be a little bit dry in the curry and there were more potatoes and onions than there was beef. So the curry wasnt my favorite but it wasnt terrible! I still give it a 4 stars because everything tasted good still. It filled me up plenty! read more

I really like this place. I go about once every 6 weeks or so. The decor is pretty cheesy, so don't expect to be wow'd, but the food is always good (except for the fresh rolls). The prices are cheap too. Osaka next door is pretty awesome too. Who would have thought you get good Asian food in a strip mall!? Hit it. read more

5-stars from this reviewer! Great Thai food, friendly staff, and fair prices. I dined-in and ordered the Papaya Salad, Panang Curry (Chicken), and Sticky Rice with Mango for dessert. I'm glad I used Yelp ahead of time to scout out this neighborhood around the Springfield Mall and Hilton. Being on-foot for a conference, I made the mistake of dining in the SM food court last night...should have Yelped beforehand last night. My bill was about $24 without tip, but I have plenty of left-overs for lunch tomorrow. I'm not an expert (only been to five Thai restaraunts around the country), but this one is as good as my favorite one in Scottsdale. The salad was tasty, but I would just skip it next time to keep my bill more reasonable for a solo-diner. I'm not sure about one of the previous reviewers who only saw "three tables". They must not have seen the large dining-area on other side of the kitchen (or maybe the restaraunt has expanded since that person was there). Thanks, Thai Cafe! read more

When I was younger, my parents would order Thai food about once a week, and sure enough, the place they'd order from was Thai Cafe! I've been to several Thai restaurants, and Thai Cafe definitely makes my top 3 list. I usually order Thai iced tea, satay chicken, and chicken pad-thai. The foods are very tasty and I haven't had a bad experience with any of them at all. Their service is great, both carry-out and dine in services! Another dish I loved from Thai Cafe was their Tamarind Chicken. I remember having it once in Thai Cafe and never been able to find a similar dish anywhere else. It was definitely a dish that left me wanting more! read more

I am most definitely recommending this eatery. The environment is well put together with attentive service. The atmosphere accommodates both the casual and more upscale diner. The food is excellent and well presented. I recommend the Thai iced tea to anyone who has never had one. It is a perfect sweet drink for a hot summer day similar to an iced coffee in sweetness and density. The Pad Thai is as good as any i have had and i look forward to trying more of their menu in the future. I should also mention that the prices are reasonable. I am a fan and recommend anyone check this place out. For first timers looking for this place with a GPS it's across from the Springfield Mall. It is located toward the middle of a cluster of shops. Look for the blue signs. read more

I wanted to like this place after our second visit, but the food is just so so-so that I don't feel like returning. Their Panang Beef is delicious and the meat was savory, but there were so little of the meat and so much of the sauce that it didn't feel worth the price. Their Tom Kha Chicken is good and bad. First the good: the broth is tasty and and the mushrooms included are fresh and complement the soup. The bad is the chicken that they put in it. It is dry and bland. Blech ... They use this same tasteless chicken in the Pad Thai as well, which itself is has almost equal part bean sprouts and equal part noodles. My recommendation to Thai Cafe would be to dry dark meat, or at least marinade their chicken before adding it to dishes. The great thing about Thai Cafe is their service. The waiters work like a dream team and they make sure you get your food in a timely manner and that your water glass is filled. This is why I'm sad that I don't like the place more. If only their food matched their service. I would recommend you try this place if you're not a Thai Food Foodie. Maybe you're trying to be healthy and prefer chicken breast meat over dark meat. Or maybe you should just avoid chicken dishes. Whatever you get, you'll get it with nice service and promptly. read more

The prices have increased by 2 or more dollars per entrée. They delivery but don't offer the military discount any more. The food is usually good but definitely not worth the prices without the discount. read more

We've been here several times and are never disappointed. Curry, satay, spring rolls, sauces all top notch. Staff professional and effective. Checked on us without bothering us. Convenient location. Simple cafe style suits our choice. read more

Only ever ordered carry out and that was a bad experience so I'll never go back. If owners treat carry out customers badly with substandard food, less protein, and such casual disinterest, I can't trust them. Food was mediocre, didn't bother with the salads as you'll understand why when you see the pictures. Absolutely zero seasoning. read more

Thai Café - Salad was inedible and extremely unattractive - Thai Near Me - Springfield, Virginia

I would 100% give this restaurant 5 full stars if they just changed their minimum requirement for delivery. At $25 for delivery they're at the very top of the scale and I think it's just exorbitant honestly. Most places around this area have a $12-$15 minimum and the highest I've seen apart from this place is $20. Not sure why they don't just charge a small fee for delivery. The food always arrives piping hot and early, and the food here is absolutely delicious. We always get the Thai spicy chicken and basil fried rice and the pad Thai and it never disappoints. I love their food and I would be a repeat customer if they just compared/competed their delivery prices with the other restaurants around the area and changed this one aspect of their business. Best Thai restaurant in the area and being here for years we've tried most of them and can say it for a fact! read more

Took great COVID precautions, wonderful friendly service and the best Pad See Ew I've ever had. Enough said, everyone should try this Springfield gem. read more

Even though their delivery was timely, portions were generous, the taste was really subpar. I ordered green curry dish which came in almost soup form instead of a thicker sauce as I had many times before in other Thai restaurants. Their Pad Thai did not taste right, not an issue of freshness, but more of recipe and chef's execution. read more

Ordered drunken noodles take out through Grubhub. The drunken noodles were overall ok, but a lot of the container (probably 40-60%) was full of wet chopped romaine, bell peppers, and giant onion slices. Bell peppers and onion slices took away from the drunken noodles and the chopped wet romaine at the bottom (I thought most places use whole romaine leaves to serve food on, if they did so) made the entire dish very watery because it was diluting the sauce. Probably will not return read more

It was just ok. For lunch I ordered the red curry and garden rolls. Neither one was good just.. alright. The curry seemed watered down and had no heat. If you're a major curry fan don't get your hopes up read more

Really disliked this place. The food was very greasy and got very sick the next day. Don't bother

This is the worst thai food I've ever had. The nam tok was not nam tok. It was sweet, not grilled, and contained no kao kua (toasted rice powder). Nam tok does not contain any sugar, and by it's very name must by definition be grilled. I ordered a tamarind dish and it was reminiscent of American-Chinese general tso's chicken! This is not Thai food! American people don't want watered-down, overly sweet, overly greasy versions of Thai food. We want real Thai food! Or at least I do. The delivery was very fast so if you're in a rush for crime-against-nature food, you're in luck! For the owner, I hate to leave such a bad review but maybe consider hiring some Thai cooks! read more

Best Thai in Springfield, its right behind Springfield mall. Try their soft spring roll- a specialty and only u can only get it here. Everything else is good as well. The owners are usually present and they are very nice people. Just try it if you are in the area. read more

My boyfriend lives in the Springfield area and we are usually too lazy to venture outside of the area for dinner. I was Yelping one evening and found this little place and decided to go because of all the high ratings. We started out with the tom yum goong soup. It was probably one one of the worst that I've had. It was super sour and tasteless at the same time. For the main courses we got fried crispy duck kapow and the assorted seafood pad thai. The duck was soggy and was not crispy at all due to the drenching sauce and accompanied vegetables. Definitely not as good as Thai Square's or Bangkok Golden's. The pad thai was just funky in taste. It came with a fried softshell crab which was not fresh and stunk up the whole dish. I would not recommend getting the assorted seafood pad thai, maybe it would be better with just shrimp, chicken, or beef alone. We had so much food left over but decided to not take any home and usually I would take home whatever I can. It was THAT bad. The service was decent but that did not make up for the horrible food. read more

Absolutely one of the best thai restaurants in northern va! Scrumptious!! Their food is not that expensive and is absolutely tasty. I love to eat spicy since I'm Lao and Lao and Thai food are very similar. Some Thai restaurants make food that is too sweet or have lost some of the authenticity of the flavors from southeast asia but Thai Cafe is not only authentic but very flavorful also. My favorites are the big deep fried flounder with spicy basil sauce (sauce on the side so it keeps the fish crispy and you just spoon the sauce over the fish right before you eat), combination spicy basil fried rice, yum woon sen (bean thread noodle with shrimp salad), mmmmm...yum! I'm getting hungry now, gotta run, maybe will stop by there later. read more

I've eaten here several times, both dine in and carry out. The food has always been good - not great, but definitely solid Thai. When my usual Thai place wasn't answering their phone tonight, I stopped here on my way home instead for carry out. I ordered a dish I've had here before: Pad Prik Khing with chicken. I was actually shocked by how bad it was. The green beans looked they were from a can - they were a very dull olive green color, overly soft, and suspiciously uniform in size. The dish was also SUPER oily - much more so than usual. Lastly, and most concerning/bizarre is that when I opened the container, the first thing I noticed was what I can only describe as "ash tray-ish" smell - mingled in the smell of the food was the distinct smell of a stale cigarette butt. Needless to say, It was completely inedible. And, BTW, at over $14, the prices here are also more expensive than other Thai restaurants in the area. I am so disappointed to have to cross this place off my list after tonight. read more

We had a very bad experience eating here. Smell and tasted burnt padseew, disgusting pad thai - and they even attempted to charge us for those food after we returned them. Worst Thai restaurant we ever went to, will never go back there. read more

Don't be fooled by the appearance of this fantastic Thai restaurant, it is simply delightful. I am addicted to the Panang Curry that they serve, it is some of the best curry I have come across (in the states). The restaurant is never very busy, so you are sure to receive attentive service. The food is also prepared quickly, but you would never know from the taste. read more

This is my all time fave! My father had been eating here for years and always raved about it but I never tried, but one day I did and I was sold! They have the best fried flounder that comes with their spicy basil sauce, it has onions, peppers, basil and some other garnish in it. When poured over the fish u will die from mouthgasm. If you are not feeling adventuresome go with the fail safe chicken gai kapow amazing! The tofu soup rocks as well. The staff is super nice and friendly and hooks it up for me since they know me and my whole family lol. Food is always fresh and flavorful and u can always count on the mango and sticky rice to top it all off. read more

Went for a quick lunch and expected better based on the reviews...nice people working there but service was slow for a place that had 5 servers running around and only 3 patrons. Food was blah. Won't be returning but it was worth a try to knock off my list. read more

Try to get here a couple times a month. Rates my best Thai ever! Chef has way of making every dish extremely tasty!
