Excellent experience here this past Saturday night. My wife and I were here with two other couples, and we all enjoyed our food. For appetizers we had chicken dumplings (BEST IN AREA!), veggie dumplings, and spring rolls. Not a single leftover, but we all kept our extra dipping The sauces were terrific! For my main course, I had chicken satay. Four pretty big skewers were brought out with peanut dipping sauce. Fantastic! I have no idea what anyone else ordered, but everyone liked their food. Desserts are not very good here. Canned pineapple. Yuck. Also yuck: the pot of tea made with grass clippings that tasted like dirt soup. It wasn't worth the $5 we were charged. There were some awesome sounding drinks on the menu, but we weren't able to try any. Next time! read more

Word to the wise - Drive down the road and go to Bangkok Bistro (in the plaza with Issac Bagels). I have eaten at Thai Palace a couple times, months apart and ended up with food poisoning both times. Also our table didn't order drinks and after we said just water the service went way down. Our food came out lukewarm and I had to return mine twice. I said no eggs and it came out with eggs. Sent it back and they brought it back a minute later with some of the eggs picked out. I am allergic to eggs so didn't want them in my meal. I am telling everyone to not go here and I would rather see Bangkok Bistro in their place. read more

Better than I expected given the overall reviews! We decided to give this place a try after our usual favorites were closed due to the July 4th holiday. I had a heck of a time finding a menu online as the restaurant's website doesn't work. We ordered appetizers that were great, the chicken dumplings and shumai seafood app. Main dishes were spicy and delicious - drunken noodles and crazy squid. We usually get sticky rice but they said they were out of it? I thought sticky rice was more about the cooking process than the actual rice, but maybe I'm mistaken. Portion sizes were large, plenty of leftovers for another meal! We ordered the sweet Thai iced tea which was also a good size and very tasty. Once I found a menu online, the ordering and pickup were easy and safe/clean as expected in this pandemic era. Grabbed a copy of the menu and attached pics to help others who might have trouble finding it online like I did... Taking off one star due to that and being out of sticky rice. But overall I was pleasantly surprised and we'll definitely keep this place in mind in the future. Bonus that they are open 7 days a week! read more

See all

Terrific Thai food with great service. What more do you need to know? Ok, here's a few more details. Beef Satay may be among the best apps in the area; meat was really tender and peanut sauce was just right. Fried chicken dumplings came out like good empanadas and vegetable spring rolls had a nice consistency without being too oily. Pad Thai, a dish to compare with other restaurants, was terrific. Sweet without being overly so, it had generous amounts of chicken in it too. Spicy Maple Chicken was a interesting mix while not being too spicy and the Ginger Beef was, well, gingery. Service was quick but not overwhelmingly so. A great place to go in the Hartford area for Thai. Doesn't beat my favorite, Hot Basil, but it is right up there... read more

An excellent stop! Me and my coworker were in the area and needed a place to stop and grab food before we headed off to our next call. Thankfully we found this place and couldn't have been happier. The staff realized we were in uniform, meaning we were on a bit of a time constraint, and they were conscious to get our food out to us quickly and everything was packed properly. They were nice and even gave us glasses of water while we waited--so nice, especially since it was a super hot day! I ordered my usual standby of drunken noodles (my barometer for thai) and it was perfect--mild heat to it and a great portion size. With the lunch special, you also get soup and spring rolls--both of which I was too stuffed to eat at the time (unfortunately food doesn't keep well on an ambulance!). For $8, you cannot beat their lunch menu. Would definitely return next time I'm in the area! read more

The most amazing Thai food in town. Love the green curry and panang curry. Oh the spring rolls and chicken coconut soup are AWESOME too :)

Best hole in the wall place for dinner in Bloomfield. I would single handedly take on a family of polar bears with a rusty fork to get to eat at this fine establishment again read more

Went here for lunch, which includes a soup, rice, 4 mini egg rolls, and a meal. The coconut chicken soup was amazing; very hearty for a lunch soup. The egg rolls were nothing special, but they were a good filler to munch on while waiting for the meal. The sauce for the egg rolls tasted a little thin/watered down. The brown rice was very bland. It kind of tasted like instant brown rice from a box. The peanut chicken was delicious. The mango tofu was good, but the tofu itself was bland. read more

Yo I come here on the reg. Need to crush some food? Need a good price? Need a chill as hell waiter? They've gotchu! Fire prices with consistently good food. The pad Thai is incredible as well as the peanut chicken. Close to the local business parks and they accommodate with fast service for people on lunch. Enjoy it! read more

Tried this place today and unfortunately all the meat in every dish was undercooked. Won't be back

This is one of my go to lunch spots. Good quality food for a reasonable price. I always get their lunch combos and I've liked everything I've gotten so far. Their spring rolls and chicken coconut soup are amazing. read more

I really liked this Thai restaurant. It's spacious and our food came out pretty quickly. My friend and I got to share the Pad Thai and green curry, the two go-to foods for me when it comes to Thai restaurants. The Pad Thai was very sweet, with a hint of citrus from the lime and the noodle texture was very chewy. The green curry was also really good. I first tasted creamy sweetness that was later supported by a subtle kick. Would definitely recommend this place for people craving Thai food! read more

Thai Palace - Thai Near Me - Bloomfield, Connecticut

THE SERVICE WAS UNACCEPTABLE. I don't say this much but the waitress yelled at one of my peers for "ordering wrong." How does that even work! Also the food was not good, everything was sweet when the menu said spicy. I highly recommend going somewhere else anywhere is better. read more

This is one of my favorite go to lunch spots for Asian cuisine. The service is quick and the food is great and I'm back at work with a full belly. If you're in the Windsor/Bloomfield area, stop by, you will not be disappointed. read more

Thai Palace - Basil shrimp and vegetable fried rice. To die for! - Thai Near Me - Bloomfield, Connecticut

Mc Thai. We went to this place at lunch time and they were out of beef, bad management right there. The appetizer we ordered they also didn't have it. My husband order sea food pineapple and was almost no sea food on it. I'm big fan of Thai curry which have that coconut taste, the massaman curry I had was just a thin liquid soup tasting like sugar, just gross I couldn't eat half of it. The only good thing, the waiter was friendly read more

Had a very bad experience. Arrived with a party of 3, upon entering, server never said hello, just sat us down, provided us with water and never came to take our drink order or even ask us if we needed more time. After about 10 minutes, we finally walked out. The same server looked at us, never saying anything. Very rude and won't get my money again. Went to the hibachi restaurant next door and had a wonderful experience with great staff! read more

Thai Palace was a delicious and unexpected treat. Seeing as to how my Dad will locate the nearest asian restaurant in any town around the globe, this place seemed like the only one that fit the bill with some time to kill before our flight out of BDL. (Quite a drive away, but well worth it) Although it was the first time for me, my family had eaten there once before in the past few days. The service was INCREDIBLY friendly...the waiter joked about my bf's request to eat with chopsticks and remembered my family from their prior visit. :) Although our waiter (Chris) couldn't offer us the lunch special as it was a weekend, he went ahead and gave us a complimentary edamame appetizer seeing as to how much my Mom had liked it during the past visit. The edamame was fresh and lightly dusted in sea salt. We ordered Tom Yum soup (cilantro on the side for me and my sisters), Pad See-yew, Pad Woosen, and the Basil Thai Fried rice. Although the portions seemed small on the plate, it turned out to be more than enough food to feed five hungry adults. The Pad See-yew was sweet and slightly sticky (just how I like it!) and the basil thai fried rice was fragrant and very tasty. The spices in the Tom Yum soup were so distinct and flavorful...especially the lemongrass. Mmmmmm.... Chris surprised us all with a complimentary dessert -- a heaping fruit plate full of longans, pineapple, mandarin oranges, and cherries! Not only is the food delicious, but the presentation is FANTASTIC! I would highly recommend this to any Thai lover or adventurous local. You will leave feeling like Thai royalty! (even though I believe the owners may be Chinese?) BONUS - The bathrooms were absolutely gorgeous and CLEAN! read more

I ordered the pad see ew to go on a week night. Called my order in, they didn't answer the first time, so I called back. Answered. Food was ready when I got there, great! Here comes the disappointment.... I open my takeout container and find....drunken noodle veggies?! Bean sprouts, bell peppers, etc. This is NOT pad see ew. Upon taste test it would seem they simply replaced the padseeew veggies (Chinese broccoli) with drunken noodle veggies. Not cool. And not tasty. If a restaurant can't get one of its staple dishes right, what can it do? read more

I am so disappointed with the Thai Palace. My girlfriend and I used to go there twice a month and both loved the food. Over the past year-and-a-half the food has really changed. The vegetables aren't fresh anymore, actually nothing taste fresh and the service is nothing to write home about. There are other alternatives in the area and I found my new favorite just up the road. Goodbye Thai Palace...I miss miss what you were. read more

I love this place. I recommend the following which I tried and love: 1) Deep fried chicken wings 2) Pad See Ew 3) Pad Woon sen 4) Spicy Basil Fried Rice 5) Sizzle Duck (appetizer) - if u love peking duck. read more

A few of us showed up for lunch recently and found a very busy restaurant. Usually means the food is good right? Wrong. I ordered the basil fried rice with chicken and found that there was more salt and less basil. No Bueno. The only good thing I had was the tom yum soup. But again, nothing special. I left feeling rather unsatisfied. I will say that if you're looking for a cheap lunch spot in the Bloomfield area, this is it. For $9, I got a soup, basil fried rice and spring rolls (which were good). I'm willing to overlook the basil fried rice and give it another try. There aren't many lunch spots in this area and with those prices it's hard not to give this place another chance. read more

This place is my go-to for Thai food in Bloomfield. Consistently good food with quick preparation times. The lunch specials are a great deal. In addition to a main meal, you also get soup and spring rolls for about $9. You can't beat that for quantity and dollar-value ratio for lunch in the area. The noodle dishes are good and the curry dishes are also quite tasty. read more

My boyfriend and I decided to try Thai Palace this weekend since we recently tried Thai food for the first time. We walked in and continued to stand at the door, waiting for someone to seat us, for about 5 minutes. An elderly woman with a walker and what looked like her daughter walked in after us. Finally, the hostess came to help us and told us, "They go first," and seated the elderly woman and her daughter. We were a little puzzled since we had walked in before them, but maybe they had put their name in ahead of time or something. A little more explanation would have been nice. We were seated and put in our orders. Our soups came out pretty quickly. I ordered the Thai Chicken Noodle Soup and my boyfriend ordered the Tom Kha Gai. Both were decent. While waiting for our meals, we kept hearing a creaking sound and couldn't figure out what it was. Finally we realized that it was the large picture above us - it seemed like everytime a door opened to the kitchen, the picture would move and creak. Kind of creeped us out a little. Our meals were brought out - Pad See Yu for me and Pad Thai for him. We were both a little surprised, as the portions were a little on the small size. But for $8.95, that's what you get. My boyfriend ate all of his noodles but felt that his chicken seemed a little processed. My meal was yummy and I won the clean plate award this time. While we were waiting for our check, some commotion happened at another table closeby. A group of older people had received their food, and apparently they had ordered something else that was taking a bit longer to come out. The waiter told them that it would be out soon and the crotchety old man said, "Tell him to keep it". The waiter went away and came back 5 minutes later with some type of fish dish that had such a nice presentation - he brought it to the table steaming hot and the shouting began - the man said, "Take it back, I don't want it," and his loudmouth wife has to chime in and yell, "He can't eat it, he can't eat it". The waiter even offered to give it to them for half price, but they refused it. Now...I know that it's poor service to have part of your meal come out later than the rest of it, but if you could see the work that was put into putting that meal together, most people would have still taken it. My boyfriend and I almost told the waiter that WE would take the fish for half price! I was sure to shoot the wife a dirty look on our way out. As for going back to Thai Palace - we would probably go back if we wanted thai but didn't want to drive far to get it. Since we've only had thai twice, we don't have much to judge it on, but I think this place is second best compared to the first place we tried. read more

Thai Palace is my boyfriend's family's favorite restaurant, so as you can imagine, we've eaten here for almost every birthday, anniversary, and other special event. Of the countless meals I've had here, the dishes that stand out in my mind are definitely the amazing roti appetizer, the spicy tom yum soup, and the T65 Thai crispy beef entrée. As for desserts, the red bean ice cream is fantastic! A few years ago, I used to think the portions here were WAY too monstrous for one small person to handle in one sitting (please keep in mind that I AM diabetic). While most folks probaby wouldn't mind the large portions, I did get tired of leaving here so overstuffed with rice to properly enjoy my leftovers the next day. So I started ordering appetizers and soup instead. But in the past few months, it seems like the portions here have gotten slightly smaller while the plates have gotten bigger. They've definitely stepped up their game when it comes to the presentation of their food! On my last visit here, my entrée arrived artfully arranged on a large square plate decorated with a swirly chocolate-sauce dragon design, and garnished with slices of tropical fruit. My rice (you can choose from brown, white, or sticky) came out in a pyramid-shaped edible portion. I will definitely be back again and again, especially for the out-of-this-world roti and chicken curry sauce! No other Thai place I've visited makes their roti as good as they do here! read more

I know Thai Food. But this place is not even close to be called Thai restaurant. Taste is close to what you can get from Chinese Take Out. They pride themselves in presentation and left the taste of food to other restaurants in HFD area. They would give you hot towels and fruit to clean your palette after food. You might really need that. Food comes out very fast. Service is good. But I can't imagine how bad the taste was. Sorry. This place is SO out of my GPS. Never will I attempt this. But looking at the location, I know "people" will go there for service. read more

I had no problem with my meal nor did my family; which is why I'm not giving them a 1 star. My problem was the customer service. Our waiter rarely came to our table to see if we needed more water or to ask how the food was. The last time he came to our table was because my sister made eye contact with him. Later we spoke to a waitress to find out if there was a problem with the waiter. She informed us management and most of the staff were incredible rude and management kept her tips. She also told us it was her last day. Based off my experience I won't return. If you do choose to go here please leave your waiters and waitress CASH tips. They earned the money NOT management. Side note there's another Thai restaurant across Thai Palace. It's directly behind Prosser Public Library. read more

Thanks to the recommendations from my Yelp friends, I tried the drunken noodles lunch special and it was fabulous! My co-worker had a basil shrimp and that looked really good. I went with a group of co-workers to celebrate a birthday. What was very accomodating was someone called ahead with our orders and the meals were there when we arrive. You can't go wrong at $8 for a lunch special with the amount of food you get plus Asian rolls and soup. Place is extremely busy during lunch. read more

I intended to take myself to Republic today, but, after driving around for about half an hour, unable to find it (yes- i know- i need gps), i decided to settle for Thai palace instead. I've read a bunch of the positive reviews here, and felt comfortable that i would have a good experience. Well- i did. Initially, i couldn't recall if they served alcohol or were BYOB, and i almost chose ginza (right next door) instead, considering their windows were littered with neon beer signs, but i decided i really was in the mood for Thai, and chose to chance it. Well, fear not- i was greeted by a full bar immediately upon entrance. I sat at the bar, as is my wont, which i think puzzled the owner a bit. I had to explain that i was there to eat. As soon as we got that straightened out, it was game on. I started with some ozeki nigori sake. It was a bargain at $8 for 375 ml. I like nigori sake- this is the cold, unfiltered stuff that looks like milk. It totally hit the spot. The menu is extensive, and i still consider myself a youngin' when it comes to Thai cuisine. I wouldn't say i was overwhelmed, just disappointed i only had one stomach and just so much money. There is a good variety of appetizers, soups (both as a starter or a meal), and then various entrees grouped by protein, noodles/rice, and house specials. As I'm still recovering from a cold, i chose to start with their chicken noodle soup: a rich, savory broth spiked with dried onion, as well as silken tofu, strips of tender chicken, and thin glass noodles. The soup was delicious, comforting and an excellent opener. I looove glass noodles. I will say that i later saw some tom kha gai walk by, and was a little jealous, but I'll just have to return. My go-to for an entree is drunken noodles- so spicy, sweet, and savory- i just love them. I'm an adventurous eater, and i always try to talk myself out of them so i can try something new which, until today, has proven entirely ineffective. I chose something else today because a) it was time and b) Thai palace groups their drunken noodles with the curry dishes, not the noodles, which is not how I'm used to seeing it. I didn't want to risk being disappointed if it was different than i expected. Instead, i got the Thai rice noodles. These were thin, vermicelli style rice noodles, served with chicken, shrimp, bean curd, red onion, zucchini, and egg. I ordered the noodles spicy, which sometimes is spicy, and can sometimes be medium because Thai restaurant proprietors know we westerners are often not so great with spice. Well- These were awesome! The sauce was perfectly spicy, and, for just $10, a huge portion of noodles (i took half home), six plump shrimp, plenty of chicken strips, and a good amount of egg. (I honestly didn't notice any bean curd, but the dish certainly wasn't lacking, so i let it go.) I was a bit surprised there weren't more, or bigger pieces of, veggies, but that may just be what I'm used to. I love egg in noodle dishes, but always forget to ask for extra. My favorite bites of this included egg. There's just something about how it absorbs sauce- love it. My meal closed with some cubes of pineapple, very classic. I really appreciated that these were served with a small cocktail fork, as opposed to the toothpicks you often find. Also- the young guy taking care of me was very sweet, polite, and efficient. In fact, when i requested chopsticks for my noodles, he opened them, split them apart, and rubbed them for me! I believe this is roughly the Thai equivalent to putting someone's napkin on their lap for them. This place is a solid joint and had a steady stream of folks coming and going, for eat-in and takeout, many of whom appeared to be regulars- always a good sign. If i was ever in Bloomfield again, wanting Thai (or lost- ha ha), i would definitely revisit Thai palace. read more

I went to Thai Palace today with a friend for lunch and we were lucky enough to be able to sit outside. It looks like they may have purchased some new patio furniture for this Summer. While I didn't get to sit at one of those tables, they looked to be pretty comfortable. Each meal comes with soup and spring rolls, so be prepared to receive a ton of food! I selected the coconut and chicken soup. This is the most delicious soup I have ever tasted. I was coughing while eating it because it was so spicy, but I couldn't get enough. For my entree, I ordered my usual Chicken with Cashew Nuts and my friend ordered the Sweet Kiss Chicken. My meal was great and I assume that my friend liked his, considering he ate every grain of rice on his plate! When the check came, the waiter also brang out a small plate of pineapple. This was great, because it was an easy way to curb my sweet tooth! Overall, lunch for 2 for under $20 cannot be beat. Glad this place exists in Bloomfield! read more

Found this place while in Windsor on business, and was glad I did. When I travel alone, my MO is to order many things and then take my leftovers back to the hotel for later noshing. So... I first ordered Tom Kha Gai; I can't go to a Thai place and not. It was not a very sweet or thick soup (not necessarily a bad thing); more on the salty side. Slightly lacking in galangal flavor, but it was still tasty. Good quality chicken in there, along with red peppers and mushrooms. I couldn't find any chunks of galangal or lemongrass in there, and the broth wasn't too heavy on those flavors. (Many places pick those out of the broth for you; I'm a freak who likes to nosh on them.) Next, I ordered the Som Tom, which had terriic flavor, but more lettuce than green papaya. Also came with lots of beautiful shrimp on top. I would get this again. The Thai Iced Tea was kinda meh; I've had better. (But mediocre Thai Iced Tea is still better than most things in the universe...) For my entree, I ordered a chicken and peanut sauce, which was a refreshingly human-portion and priced accordingly. It was satisfying, but not life-changing. I didn't order dessert, but with the check they offered a small plate of fresh pineapple and melon; very delightful. All this food was about $25. Best of all: They didn't make me feel like a doofus for eating alone. read more

One thing I've noticed is there aren't a lot of great Thai places in the Hartford area. Thai Palace is reasonably good and is a decent choice for pick-up. My wife and I enjoy the Massaman curry, which has good flavor. I've only had pick-up, and every time the food had been ready within the time frame provided. The staff isn't especially friendly, but they're not rude either. One tip - parking can be difficult because of small parking spaces in the plaza parking lot. read more

I wanted so badly to like this place. I love Thai food and was very excited when my team decided to have an outing at this restaurant. Thai Palace was recommended by some co-workers, as they rave about the food and its proximity to one of our offices. The food was subpar at best and service was not good. The staff wasn't too friendly, but they tried their best to be attentive. I asked for my food spicy (and most place actually give me spicy because I look Asian) and my food came out very mild. No one in our party was particularly impressed with the food. I'm not sure if they were having an off-day or that's just how it is in general. I was disappointed and probably will not be back, as there are safer bets for Thai food in the area. read more

My favorite lunch spot!! My girlfriend and I often come here to do business at the credit union, then follow up with a delicious lunch. Their lunch special can't be beat. For $7.95 you get two spring rolls, soup (the Tom Yum is my favorite!) and an entree of your choice from a large selection. For those of you who like a choice, they also offer an upgrade to brown rice for extra. I try to get something different each time I go, but my favorites are basil shrimp or ginger chicken. I've rarely been let down, though I did go with the coconut shrimp once and I won't make that mistake again. The service is fast and though the staff isn't particularly warm or talkative, I've never been treated poorly either. Coming at noon on the dot can be a little crazy though. It's also a favorite with local workers. But even with the crowd, the service is very efficient and you're often seated within 5 minutes. read more

I asked if they could do Thai spicy and they said yes, the spicy beef came out tasting of sugar and sweet chili sauce, the shumai was deep fried (never heard of that before and definitely didn't say fried on the menu). They got my order wrong the first time, then a wait staff came out to ask my order for the second time, after which it took 25 mins for my entree to come out. The tables around me that came in 15 mins after me already received their mains. Service was not rude but definitely not authentic Thai. Go here for sweetened Americanized food but nothing else. read more

Best lunch specials around! Can't beat an $8-10 meal that comes with soup, spring rolls, and a full sized entree. Drinks are strong and fairly priced as well. Try the drunken noodle, or pad thai. They're my favorites. read more

Lackluster, sullen service. Over-salted and generally gross food. Rancid chicken. Not a fan. Don't plan on darkening their doorstep again.

Very good and lots of fun. They have Sake bombs on the menu, so I had to try. The waiter came over and set up the chopsticks on top of the glass and everything. As for the food, it was awesome. I'm not a big Thai fan but this was very good. The service was friendly and timely. read more

My mom and I decided to grab a quick bite at Thai Palace. It was the first time we dined here and it was our last. Service was very poor. From the beginning we had no idea which waiter was responsible for our table. The entire time we had to ask for everything, including the fact that we were ready to order. Who knows how long we would have sat there. Btw, there were several workers behind the register and busing tables. It took 40 min to receive our food and we had to ask for the check at the end. I was tired of waiting. Food was ok. I've had better Thai food and experience at other local venues. Definitely won't be back!! read more

The food is pretty good, but customer service is very, very poor. The servers yelled at us multiple times when ordering, and continued to yell at us when asking for anything, including water. I will not be returning. read more

Awesome lunch specials! I order lunch from here once every couple weeks, and everything I've tried was excellent. The lunch special comes with 2 mini spring rolls with dipping sauce, a choice of soup, and the entree all for about $8. The portions are generous too. Go for the Tom Yum Goong soup... You will not be disappointed. It's the best I have had after trying it at many other restaurants. It has a perfect mix of sour and spicy and comes with 2 shrimp. Love the cilantro flavors too. The entrees are all excellent. Some come with rice and other with noodles. The noodle dish portions are a especially large. The spicy chicken is great.... lots of hot chili pepper flavors. All of the curries are phenomenal (go with the Panang or the Green Curry) sitting in a well balanced coconut milk sauce that has just the right amount of spice and curry flavor. The Gai Pad Prik King is really good if spicy chicken and string beans are your thing. The Thai Rice Noodle dish is also fantastic, plentiful with chicken and shrimp. It's hard for me to find anything negative with the food, but the only think I can think of is the side of fried rice that you can choose with your order. It's good, but it just has certain taste that gets to me. The inside is pleasant with some Thai art work on the walls and a big aquarium where you wait to be seated. The service is good and the staff is very friendly. Lunchtime can be very busy, but they are good at getting people seated promptly. read more
