Pad Thai
Melanie T.

From the outside, it doesn't look too impressive but it does catch your eye because you can smell it as you walk by. The parking lot nearby is very small so we actually park at Sloans Lake and take a stroll around the park and walk over. We came at 8 pm and we thought we would be done by 9pm. We were very wrong. They are super busy from dine in and takeout. It was nonstop until they closed. It took a while for our food to arrive but we were understanding. The food was amazing. I highly recommend ordering the wings. It has some of the best sauce on a wing you can find. Definitely a favorite of mines. The pad Thai, green curry, and pineapple fried rice all had very strong flavorings that hits your taste buds. We got everything in a medium and there was a kick. If you aren't a familiar with Thai Spice, ask before because it can be crazy hot. Very happy that it's a quick five minute walk from Sloans Lake. Great meal after dragon boat practice!

Pad see ew
Erin W.

I love this place - it's extremely consistent and the perfect winter meal. Thrilled that it exists on my street because I think we've gotten it every Saturday for the past two months and our frequency is only going to go up as it gets colder. Pad see ew, paneng curry, crab wontons, spring rolls and chicken satay are our regulars with a mild + spice level.

Green Curry
Rohan S.

Close to authentic Thai. Not like a regular thai place in the US. Their Medium is comparable to hot at most thai places in US, similarly hot is surely beyond thai hot. Street parking Would recommend- Basil fried rice Pineapple Freid rice drunken noodles Pad see Eew green curry Pad thai thai tea Garlic Chicken Egg Rolls Wouldn't recommend chicken satay pork dumpling Crab wontons

AP1. Ap Combo
Margaret N.

BEST THAI FOOD IN DENVER (that I've found). Every time we are even remotely close to Sloan's lake, we make a stop at US Thai. All of their entrees are so good. Our go to's are the pad Thai, drunken noodles, Thai fried rice, basil fried rice, panaang curry, and green curry. We tried the app combo and it was just ok. The spring roll was mostly lettuce. Can't recommend this place enough! Get your food to go and enjoy it with a drink from Joyride for a perfect date!

chicken pad thai
Yvonne J.

US Thai knows their spice! The pad thai was generally great, but I had to deduct a star because although the spice level (I got Medium) was great, there wasn't much other flavor. I expect at a Medium that the dish is balanced with the other sweet/salty/sour flavors. Other than that, the proportion of noodle+meat+veggies was good and the chicken and noodles were cooked right. We had our order to-go and I had a longer journey home and it was still delectable when I finally got to it. I will definitely still be back to try their other dishes.

Masaman curry
Joanne T.

This is a great and affordable Thai restaurant. We enjoyed everything we ordered. There was only one server working, so service may be slow at times. The dining room was cold and drafty, so keep that in mind when dining in.

Green curry
Emily C.

I ordered green curry with chicken and pad see ew with tofu to go and was impressed with US Thai Cafe! The prices were reasonable, and while the portions weren't huge for the price, I still feel like the food was a good value. I'm generally tough on Thai food, but I really loved the flavor of both dishes. I usually go with a spice level around a 3 or 4 out of 5, but based on other reviews, I went with mild+ here. And I'm glad I did, because even mild+ had quite a kick!

Tom yum soup. So good.
Alexis Y.

A small little restaurant but super busy for dine in and take out! A friend recommended this restaurant and I'll definitely be back. For starters, the prices of the dishes are so affordable for 2024. I don't have to spend $20 a dish like other Thai restaurants. The plates are decent sized but a little on the smaller size but definitely worth it for $11.25. We got pad see ew and pad Thai. The noodles were cooked to the right consistency. The pad Thai wasn't overly sweet. If you like soup and sour tasting flavors, the Tom yum soup was so perfect. We sat in the back room where it was pretty toasty and stuffy. So if you have any nice places to be later, make sure you have a different pair of clothes or jacket because you're going to smell like noodles.

Pad see ew
Courtney T.

5/5: we really enjoyed our meal at US Thai Cafe! There are two seating areas with a central kitchen splitting them. Our waitress was friendly and prompt although she was busy. The pad see ew with beef was very good and portion size was perfect. Penang curry with also a delicious dish with quite a kick (we got the mild + spice level). Definitely recommend!

Ask the Community - US Thai Cafe

Did they change up management earlier this year or something? Arguably still the best Thai food in Denver but portions got smaller and seemingly they've toned it down spice wise...

Are they open for dine in yet?

No... But you can take your food to joyride or there are picknic tables on the street

Is US Thai Cafe byob friendly since they do not sell alcohol?

No. There is no byob in Colorado at this time.

The Panang Curry is fantastic. The rice serving could have been larger for a dinner order but the…read moreflavor was fantastic. Ordered hot. Was spicy without being overpowering. Highly recommend. The Satay was decent. A little on the dry side but definitely not bad. The Gyoza were great. A note on service, they are not the fastest. When they say 25-30 minutes for a takeout order, expect closer to the 30 minute mark. I also was there on a Sunday evening so maybe they were short staffed but there was little touch on the service side. Not bad, just not very rushed which is fine if as long as you go in with that expectation. Long story short, this place has amazing food and you should eat here.

My friends got the pad Thai, the pineapple fried rice, and the ginger fried rice. Everybody was happy with their meal, and they were able to substitute the shrimp in the pineapple fried rice for tofu, which made my friends who is allergic to seafood happy. We also got the mango sticky rice to share- the mango wasn't as ripe as it could have been, and I wish they had a little crunch or a more syrupy condensed milk, but it was ok. The interior was cute, and it looks like they had some decent happy hour deals. Service was painfully slow, but there was only one server running the entire restaurant, during a major event. Not her fault at all, someone should have reconsidered the staffing. Despite how slow it was, she did a good job getting everything right. If I was in the area, I would eat there again.

I came in with no reservation on a Thursday night and I believe we had to wait about 10 minutes for a table, but it was so worth it. It's decorated very well, with an authentic clean and fancy feeling, even though it's hard to really get fancy in Denver Although they were so many things on the menu, I wanted to try, I love a good khao soy so I had to give that a shot first. It was so good and the portions are so generous. I also started with the iceberg lettuce appetizer, which was yummy like a salad and we had the mango sticky rice to finish it all off. The mango was perfectly ripe and sweet and in season, this is one of my favorite desserts, and I was so lucky to get it at this time of year

For as expensive as everything is, you'd think they would have the money to hire actual photographers or graphic designers for their promotional material but unfortunately they've also gone the AI slop route, which, to be honest, matches the overall experience as well. Soulless and lacking flavor.

A simply fantastic birthday meal. Unforgettable…read more Ginger Pig is one of the places I'm most excited to visit again in Denver.

How this restaurant earned the attention of Michelin Bib Gourmand, I do not know nor agree. I loved…read morethe ambiance, cozy space and the staff was exceptional but to much surprise the food severely lacked the warmth and flavors I was hoping for. Order: 1. nam jim crab cheese wontons ($16) 2. kkanpunggi - korean fried chicken ($23) 3. xinjiang yang rou - cumin lamb stir fry ($26) 4. "have you eaten?" chef special ($28) 5. cucumber salad ($2.50) which we were told came with the korean fried chicken. 6. 6% support fee ? no explanation and no warning. 1. Lacked flavor depth. If I was to pinch a crab and pull out a penny sized chunk of meat and wrap it in cheese it would still contain more substance than this dish. The nam jim sauce was overpowered by fish sauce and left no room for the foundational flare of the sauce like the herbs, chili, sugar or even the lime juice to flourish. 2. Lacked flavor, poor breading, fatty pieces of chicken. This beautiful classic dish is also suppose to be balanced, but alas was swallowed by a sharp garlic taste. Don't get me wrong, I love garlic but no other ingredients were noted. The gochujang barely peeked through in the beginning but slowly ran for the hills a bite or two in leaving my mouth only smelling and tasting like fresh garlic. This dish should also have chicken double or triple fried but the single layer of batter on the chicken, which seemed to shortly touch the oil, was squishy and falling off. This dish contained a handful of chicken pieces and accompanied by a to-go container of undercooked, cold rice... 3. My grandfather thought this dish was balanced well, he enjoyed the spice heat of the dish. The cilantro portion on this dish once again overpowered the cumin and the lamb. The stir fry potion was done moderately, none of the chile's in this dish were roasted before (which in my opinion leaves behind a ton of flavor). This dish could've easily been a stir fry without the amount of oil left in the bottom of the bowl after the meal. The green onion and pepper made no appearances and was also served with an additional undercooked cold to-go container of rice. 4. The chef was in the mood for a frozen salmon 'poke bowl'. The poke sauce was a good, simple sauce with onions, nothing out of the ordinary. What made me not finish half my bowl was the temperature the salmon was served. Almost as if a scoop of salmon was prepped onto a sheet, placed in a freezer, freezer burned, then was given 20 minutes to sit out and be plated next to, again.. undercooked, cold rice. I bit into the salmon and the center was still frozen in every single piece. This dish was not a "whatever the chef is in the mood to cook you when he gets the order" type of dish as I was led to believe. I am a huge fan of poke but to serve frozen fish pieces is almost a disrespect to the foundations of the dish. 5. I loved the cucumber salad, I am not sure what they put in it but it was delish. 6. I eat in denver often and rarely come across a 6% fee for support. If it is for healthcare for workers I love that but at least tell us why on the receipt or something. All-in-all the restaurant social experience was superb. Staff was friendly and attentive, ambiance was more than I expected in regards to decorating and setting a 'vibe' but the restaurant does not know what it is (which artistically I respect) but the food paid the price on account of this establishments uncertainty. 2/5 stars.

My son gets the Sesames chicken also with fried rice and it's sweet and crunchy as they fry the chicken to mix in their sauce and it's worth every penny. Every time! Service sometimes can be short in communication but expected especially when they're working all day and don't have time to eat but their food never misses!
