Hands down, my favorite restaurant in Redding (even though Redding has a dearth of good restaurants, if there were good ones, this would still be number one in my book). One of the best Thai restaurants I have been to anywhere. read more

Our food was disgusting! Watery fried rice with partially cooked chicken. Our spring rolls were burnt and the noodles were like a pasta, not a rice noodle. I wouldn't recommend this spot. read more

I love this place! I live in the Bay Area, but grew up here, and every time I come visit I order delivery from Thai cafe. I know good food living in Bay Area, and maybe people in Redding aren't used to authentic food. It is so so good, and when you ask for spicy, they make it spicy! The salads are one of my favorites ; authentic with kafir lime and chile, shallots and shrimp. And the pumpkin curry and Penang curry are excellent. Also like the Evil prince. Sticky rice is on point. I have nothing bad to say-- maybe only criticism is green mango salad is not crunchy- a little soggy, but their other salads make up for it. Also fried spring rolls are delicious. It's my favorite Thai restaurant of all. read more

I was a little skeptical about the area this gem was parked in, but the food was so deliciously crafted with thai love that it satisfied my taster beyond my expectations. read more

First time eating here. I ordered the Evil Prince which unfortunately smelled and tasted like wet dog. My boyfriend liked it and ate it though. We shared the Chicken Satay which was yummy. I ordered the Pad Kra Pao; it was OK but I'm pretty sure they forgot salt. I don't think we'll be eating there again. read more

Thai Cafe is a GOLD MINE in Redding right on Butt Street. I had the Evil Prince with shrimp. It was amazing! If you have never been there you are missing out! read more

Evil prince is Fantastic (order spice too taste) love hot with chicken!

Unfortunately, this was not the freshest thai that I've had in Redding. The chicken had an unusual taste.

Okay, this is a tough one for me...I like the food and the service just fine and used to go there often, but the last time I was there, a cockroach climbed out of my lunch dates salad. But that wasn't the worst part. When we pointed out the cockroach to our server, he shrugged and acted like this happens all the time. I'm never going back. read more

Food is great, staff is awesome. I eat here at least once a week for lunch. Take out is the way to go, always ready within 15 min, no matter how busy they are. On the flip side, if you sit down and eat, plan on being there for at least 45 min. Love it no matter what though! read more

Just bad. I have no desire to eat there again. Strong contender for worst Thai in Redding. I actually wish I could get my money back.

My favorite for yellow curry ever! Please bring the vegan coconut ice cream back with no milk! It tasted way better and people who don't eat dairy can enjoy a delicious dessert read more

I know. Many people really appreciate this restaurant. I'm just not in that camp. The best I can say is that the interior is very nice and the service was great. But I go to restaurants for the food. I can excuse average service and atmosphere if the food is great. But my curry dish was just average. The Som Tum (papaya salad) was better than the curry. This Thai restaurant is A-OK, but I want fantastic. read more

This place has the best Thai food in Redding. The food tastes very good and fresh, I always get the spicy drunken noodles which is an awesome dish! Also, the Thai peanut salad that comes with your meal is sooo good and very simple. Highly recommended!!! read more

My 2nd dinner delivered by Entree Express Delivery. Ord Tom CRA soup, not bad, I have had better. Wud like more mushrooms ,broth, & ginger., also had the pad tai , cucumber salad & steamed rice! How van u go wrong? read more

My husband and I go here often. I can't speak for a lot of their menu items, because I found a favorite quickly and I always get the seafood asparagus or the cho chi salmon (on the specials menu). They make it as spicy as you like, but when we took my mom there she ordered the "hot" and it was too hot for her to handle! My only frustration is that their mild is a little too mild for me and their medium is a little spicy for me (I'm a lightweight on spiciness). Very tasty. read more

This is the first restaurant I went to with my girlfriend, who had recommended we come here. This is hands down the most comfortable restaurant, with an extremely calm atmosphere. As for the food, you pay so little and you get so much, the food is always fresh. I've tried a variety of items on the menu and I have never been disappointed. The food here is excellent, the service is excellent. No complaints. If you're looking for the best food in Redding, this is it. read more

I have been eating here for many years, food alway hot and tasty. One of the best Thai restaurant's around.

Hard to over state how great the food is . . . But be careful of adding on to your order it can be pricey.

Love the Pad Thai, one of my favorite Thai restaurants. This is the only thing I've ever ordered since I like it so much. I would recommend this dish to anyone who loves peanut sauce. read more

Like trying out of the way places they are usually the best. That goes for this place. Decent prices good tasty food.

i ordered pad param if i spelled correctly. it is perfectly cooked thin pieces chicken in a peanut butter sauce, served or a bed of perfectly cooked green beans and spinach. it comes with two big scoops of rice and a egg and roll similar to an egg roll. i could tell the food was fresh and prices reasonable. i also order this tea, it was delicious. i've only had it taste that good at a few places. my mom and dad had never tried the peanut butter chicken or this tea they both loved and plan to eat there. i walked in ordered and food was done within 10 minutes. read more

I had been there before and just ordered what looked interesting. Went through a few yelp reviews to see a common outstanding review on certain dishes. Wow. Sometimes it's not just the Resturant but what they may be best at. read more

Although the decor leaves something to be desired (as it is pretty dark and slightly dingy), the food is great! It's extremely fresh and the customer service is quick and friendly. read more

What I like most about this place is that, unlike some other Thai restaurants (especially in Redding), if you order "Thai hot" it is actually Thai hot--as in, I'm crying while I eat it, but in a good way. The food has always been good, but I gave it 4/5 stars because the service can be pretty slow even when there aren't many/any other customers. read more

The best thai restaurant around, I've been coming here for years and have never been disappointed. Great food, great prices, and always great service. The red curry is my favorite and the angel wings are delicious! read more

I really LOVE this place! It may not look like much from the outside but offers great food inside! I have a favorite, red curry chicken, that I made a mistake of ordering "spicy" once. It was so hot I could barely take more that a few bites...I will stick with the mild (it's got just the right amount of spice) from now own. It's a hard place to find but, once you do, it'll keep you coming back time and time again! read more

Went again for dinner and it tasted even better than before. I think i found my Thai food spot and I am sticking to it!

I have been in love with Thai Cafe for a couple of years now. It is the kind of place that you randomly crave. It was the first place I ever tried Thai food so I really didn't have an idea if it was "good" Thai food or not. Now that I have opened up more I tried Thai food from other places from all over, and nothing comes close to Thai Cafe. There is something special about the food there. Service is great! I recommend Pad Thai with Tofu. read more

Love Love Love their food!! And REALLY appreciate their friendly service good people making good food! The Evil Prince with chicken, medium spice is Awesome! And their House Vegetable Chicken Yummers!! read more

I went on a strong recommendation from a co-worker. Had dinner by myself. The place looks a bit like a dive, a hole in the wall kind of dive with Thai accents. The waitress was quick and friendly. The vegetable soup was ?chicken broth with cabbage. Not much to it. The Green Curry was more like coconut milk with a small bit of curry added. I was disappointed that the eggplant was regular old American eggplant, not Thai, or even Japanese eggplant. And it was overcooked. The rice was a bit dry. I will have to give this place one more try, but I will go with the recommendation of the co-worker that loves this place. My meal was "meh" read more

Ooohk. I love Redding, I love hole in the local wall joints, I love thai food. This place should get an easy A. Unfortunaltely, it was sub par. Went only once with a friend and the food was tastless! I ordered the pad kee mao (drunken noodles) which are hard to not love, but I could have been eating literally any other dish. Literally, I tried a couple of the other dishes friends had ordered. All the same. There wasn't a single flavor or spice in any of the dishes besides the mounds of onions they put on top. What a waste of money, I should have had a packet of oatmeal. Go somewhere else. read more

The service is bad. My son and I were the first waiting in the line (sitting on the couch), but the waitress went straight to the two men standing next in the line, and didn't even say anything to us. Then she went the woman just coming in. Well, I guess she doesn't care our business, so we had no choice but left. read more

Horrible food. I order the drunken noodles with chicken. It had a weird fishy flavor to it. I will never eat there again.

Found this place out of the blue. Drove up to Redding for the Kool Nites festival and needed a good/filling dinner, saw this place close by the hotel and took a shot at it. The best part of my job is whenever I'm on the road I get to try new food and the best type of restaurants while on the road are the mom and pop places that remind you of home. Got the satay comb which came with pork chicken and beef skewers. For 10 bucks got 8 skewers a side dish of cucumber relish (the vinegar tasting thing) and the peanut sauce. Although the peanut sauce was a little too thick it was still tasty. My entree was the duck curry (red) and asked for it to be spicy and man did it have some kick! The perfect amount of spice without being too hot. The awesome part was that they give you bottomless rice which was clutch because a majority of my co workers got meat entree dishes. When you walk into this place it may seem a little intimidating with all the interior dealing but it's a nice quite joint where you can enjoy your meal. Thanks Thai cafe! read more

I may have gone a bit overboard when I wrote the last review, considering I hadn't tried many of the other Thai places. This food is still decent and maintains cheap prices, but it is not as amazing as it used to be. Still tasty, but more mediocre. The service still rocks though and they give you a lot of food. read more

Unfortunately I cannot say I'll be back. I remembered this place being good so I figured I give it another try. Drunken noodles tasted like fish & soup like water with some vegetables in it. Atmosphere was out of the 70's and we seated ourselves. Wouldn't have minded that part if the food was good. I'll stick to Champa or Rose Garden. read more

In the ongoing battle of Thai restaurants, the Thai Cafe is clearly the winner. The food is excellent, particularly the curries. These are traditional, hot, and smooth. Don't let the dumpy exterior keep you from opening the door to a very pleasant ethnic interior. In ten years if service the staff has always been polite and efficient. read more

It was one of the only Thai places open the day after Christmas, so we thought we would order some take out. I ordered Masaman Curry. The only things in it were beef, potatoes that were still raw, large chunks of onion and peanuts. The portion was small. The flavors were off. I have tried this same curry at 2 other Thai places and loved it. Usually there is a little sweetness with curry, but this tasted just like a lot of fish sauce with no other flavors present. Couldn't finish it, I felt like I was going to throw up. read more

Food was mediocre not authentic. Price was ok for the American Thai cuisine. The service from the waitresses were superb. Very helpful and welcoming. The I'm guessing host or owner was rude and very short with explanation. He was also rude to his staff. read more
