    Panang (Red Curry)

    Thai Cafe is under new management and the food is amazing. As an appetizer I would try the Larb. The Panang Red Curry is amazing and Thai tea I would definitely recommend. My daughter had the Pad Thai dish and without question is the go to dish.

    coconut cake
    Lori R.

    First time here and it was a stellar experience. Do know that this is not just a Thai restaurant. They have a ton of sushi as well. That being said, we both tried their Thai dishes. Pad Thai for Husband and Drunken Noodles for me. I don't usually do alcohol with Thai restaurants because the offerings don't necessarily go with the dishes imho, but let me tell you...the Lemon Lotus drink here (basically a lemon drop), is fantastic and goes very well with Drunken Noodles that are just slightly spicy. Service was terrific. Food terrific. Husband loved his pad thai and very much loved his coconut cake as well. Looks like they do mostly a take-out business but do know there is plenty of inside seating. It's way bigger inside than it looks from the outside. Note: location is right next to Shucker's in Wake Forest.

    Pad See Ew with chicken
    Mike B.

    Much improved service on this return trip. Food is still as high quality as ever. Restaurant was moderately busy on this Thursday night. There is a robust take-out business so even though the dining room had empty tables, the kitchen was busy with a steady flow of pickups. Service on this visit was great. We were seated quickly, orders taken, food served in short order. Thanks, Cherry, for orchestrating the meal. Chicken Pad Thai is prepared here as it should be. A right-sized portion of noodles, a little spice to tingle the taste buds but not make your eyes water. Peanut-based sauce the right amount of sweet to accentuate but not take over the meal. Toss in some wok-fried chicken. 'Twas good. Pad See Ew is another favorite, done right at Thai Cafe. Wide noodles are sauteed with chicken, broccoli, egg in a creamy Thai-soy sauce. No spice to this one at all. Reminds me of an Asian take on chicken alfredo. Very delicious. Thai Cafe remains in the rotation; with a better service experience this time, will be back more often.

    Pad Thai Shrimp
    Robbie C.

    Located in same shopping center as Shuckers, it is larger than looks from the outside. They have indoor and a few outside tables. We popped in during lunchtime and service was a bit slow but our server did an ok job. The salad with ginger dressing was un memorable as the dressing was a bit on the bland side. The crab angels were ok but didn't think they used any crab at all as it tasted like creamy cheese only. I opted for pad Thai shrimp and it was good, however only 4 shrimp were added to dish. The flavor was good but next time I'd probably add some extra veggies to enhance the dish. I'd probably try again with different options.

    Crab Angels were delicious and paired well with the dipping sauce
    Fetima W.

    Came here for a quick lunch on a rainy and cold day. I love Thai food so I set my intentions to find some in the area. I opted for the soup because it was the perfect day for it. In scrolling Yelp, I saw the good pics and decided to try this place out. So glad I did. The service was great and fast, the dining area was spacious on the inside, and prices were reasonable. The soup was an absolute hit and loaded with flavor. I only wished there was more broth and I had some to bring home. I'd be more than happy to visit again and try other entrees off their menu.

    Basil beef
    Tina C.

    This place is convenient for us to dine. The food is decent and fresh. Thai Basil beef was very flavorful but the beef was a bit chewy. The drunken noodle with shrimp and very delicious. I came here very hungry and inhaled everything. Wonton soup was also great but no pictures. Service was a bit slow but overall wouldn't deter us from coming back. The ambiance was nice. There were Christmas decorations on the table with candles. Music was 90's pop.

    Why are there red onions??

    Online ordering (there may be a glitch) I placed my order at maybe 215-218pm after checking out the site reflected to pickup at 320pm. 1)it's an hr later 2) they would be closed. Luckily I was ordering from the car in the parking lot bc I didn't want to have to go in and sit and wait but ended up having to go in anyways. Secondly, I clearly asked for the removal of some ingredients... still came with red onions and meatballs added to the order. It took some time to get the food out so I trusted they did their part and headed out with the bag in hand just to get home and they added exactly what I asked them not to and now they're closed. So I'll be calling back when they reopen in 2hrs. Lastly, the inside of the place is decent, clean, and has a nice feel.

    This place continues to have some of the best Thai food in the area. The issue is they seem to always have issues with staffing and service when dining in. We have called in take out orders several times and the food is never ready when we arrive. We have also dined in several times now and the service is repeatedly very slow. We have not had one dine in experience where the server was timely or attentive. We repeatedly have no idea where the server is or if they are even coming back. It takes awhile to be greeted at the table, forever to get your drinks, forever for the food to arrive. The food is great, just be prepared for the slowest service around. The three stars are really based on the food alone.

    I have to say about this little gem, I've been cheating myself…read more Why is it that I moved to my current location in 2021, and never think to look at places on Six Forks Road? Maybe it's because I lived in Wake Forest, maybe it's because I work there still, IDK, but I've glad I can make up for lost time now. A friend wanted to meet for lunch and suggested this place. Funny thing, he got the orange chicken and didn't really like it. It is VERY orangey. I got one of the other lunch specials, I think maybe the beef basil one. Mine was good, so good in fact that a few weeks later when my family was needing an Asian fix, I sent them to Ni Asian. They were pleased, but got Chinese food. Last week, my daughter and I went, and wow, yes, WOW............I got the noodle dish listed first on menu (not a lunch special), ad it was good, but my daughter got the Pad See Ew, something I have never ordered, being a Drunken Noodle fan myself..........but I tasted hers, and it was so good, I was jealous. So, yeah, we went AGAIN yesterday, she got the Pad See Ew again, and I tried the Drunken Noodles, which were amazing..........not spicy like I'm used to getting, but so flavorful. What will I try next?

    We each had the Thai Cashew and Veggies. I wish I had gotten an extra order to go!…read more Ni Asian has a smallish dining area. The bill was brought to us shortly before we stopped eating, but the staff were not over visiting the table to rush us. I left a double tip since we were there for over an hour during the lunch rush. Totally fair because, as I mentioned, there weren't many spaces available for eating in. I will definitely return to Ni Asian.

The lady and gentleman were extremely helpful and patient with us and our questions. Let me tell you, there is plenty of food to choose from. The only meat I eat is turkey and seafood, so there's usually not a lot that I can order when I go places. But, there are so many turkey options. I was in heaven! I ordered the turkey bbq plate with greens (with turkey) and potato salad from Wings & Turkey BBQ. It came with a roll and some coleslaw, as well. It was very good. I demolished everything (except the potato salad. The flavor was great, but I think there were onions in it. So, it was just a texture preference.) My mom ordered a burger from Dave's Burgers. She said it was delicious. The rest of the family ordered different types of wings. They were all very satisfied with their food. Before we left, we ordered the banana pudding from Humble Catering. It was so good!! Excellent service and delicious food! Sorry I didn't get many pictures. We were hungry
