The food is good, the spices insanely evil. I took up on the "Mild Plus" aka level 2. Perfect for beginners or noobs to US Thai. My friends ordered "Hot Level 5" which is, and I quote, "burn your face off" crazy. Definitely not for the timid! Very authentic cuisine at this hole in the wall. Less one star only because the service has room for improvement. How is it I have to ask and remind the waitress for beverage refills? Unless she enjoyed watching our sufferage to the spice Gods. read more

The food here is so delicious. We've been a couple times now, and the "Pad Thai with Shrimp, Mild" is my go-to. Mild Plus / Mild + is very tasty, but if you're like me and kind of a wimp with spicy food, I'd say try this Mild Plus before venturing to anything hotter than that. It's pretty warm! Their fried egg rolls are AMAZING, and the chicken and vegetable spring rolls are scrumptious. My only critique about the food is, today we visited and ordered the spring rolls again, and while they were really tasty and the peanut sauce is a little thick, my roll had a long, dark hair in it... Not a HUGE deal except that the restaurant simply apologized and removed my plate with the hair; didn't comp the appetizer from the bill for the inconvenience of someone's hair in my food. They also hung a sign saying they were away for lunch and would return at 4:30pm. Again, not a huge deal. We were waiting out in the cold, and several people attempted to open the door only to find we were all locked out (hence us standing around). Some folks called to see if they were open, and the restaurant said yes but didn't open back up at 4:30. We waited until 4:40 or so-- when they finally unlocked the door and allowed everyone in. Again, the food is delicious when you don't find a hair in it! Definitely some of the best Thai food I've had in my life. Next time I'll be sure to take pictures. read more

Just updating my review to say I do not wish them to be on doordash, Postmates/Uber eats. I've recently learned how much those services take from the restaurant and I am glad they're getting business without it. Worth the drive to pick up!!!! read more

Oh.my Goodness. The BEST Thai and actually spicy! My favorites are the pineapple fried rice with shrimp and drunken noodle. Really good sauces and love that they have actual SPICY food! SO many places say spicy and it barely is. I love spice and can't go above medium here (each dish you choose either Mild, Mild plus, medium, hot, or Thai hot..... mild is zero spice and mild plus has a good kick! I would recommend carry out as they have a very small dining room. We often do take out and eat at joy ride brewery across the street. read more

Best Thai around! Don't try and be a tough guy and do anything over medium unless you KNOW what's up. Everything is perfection here.

This is my favorite Thai restaurant in all of metro Denver. Things to Note: 1) Mild plus is plenty spicy. Hot is ridiculously hot. I even got Medium and I thought that was slightly too spicy for me, even though I like spicy food. 2) Pad Thai and Drunken Noodles are delicious 3) Curries has wonderful balanced flavors 4) Love the Papaya Salad, less fish sauce and more acid here 5) Do not leave w/o the Mango Sticky Rice Dessert The Bad: 1) Meh on the Egg Rolls 2) Getting take-out during prime time is impossible and sometimes it is a hour plus wait. 3) No one likes to pick up the phone 4) Small dining area, but they do have room for groups. 5) No parking, but cute area. So if you want to eat in and have some really good Thai food, this is the place all by itself in Edgewater. read more

My new go to Thai spot! The Masaman curry is delicious and so are the dumplings. Service is excellent!!

Under new management and nothing like the beloved US Thai we used to wait hours in line for (in the cold and rain)! The portions are smaller and the Thai flavor is gone. You can go literally anywhere in town and get better food. On the upside, since word has gotten around, one can always immediately get a seat and take out orders take just 15 minutes. read more

Delicious and cheaper Thai food compares to what's around the area. Their service is fast during covid time. Just make sure to call ahead and they'll give you a pretty accurate estimated time. I just love supporting family owned business. Loved: Fried tofu for appetizer. Not as crispy as I'd prefer but they do give you huge pieces of tofu! And the dipping sauce is yum! Pineapple fried rice. Tom yum soup. Pad Thai. Have to minus a star for 1) inconsistent spice level. Just be careful the medium can sometimes be unbearable. But the mild can sometimes be so boring. 2) the place could give a little more meat for entrees. read more

We have ordered US Thai every Sunday for the past four years. Unfortunately the entire restaurant staff and all of the cooks have turned over. It is clear the recipes went with the kitchen staff. I will pay whatever it takes to know where the old kitchen staff is currently cooking the good stuff! Please write a review if you know where any of the US Thai family went. read more

Awesome food. Great price. The green curry was amazing! Feed me for 3 days! Would recommend

Phenomenal! Simply, the best Thai restaurant in Denver. I've yet to have a dish here that doesn't exceed expectations. Also, the healing powers of the scoville are not lost on the great US Thai. Individuals that think they can handle serious heat get a chance to test that theory at this top notch establishment nestled up against Sloan's lake. read more

US Thai Cafe - Pad Thai, Pork, Hot (4). Not for beginners, but a life-changing experience. Proceed with caution!!! - Thai Near Me - Edgewater, Colorado

How have I not reviewed you yet? This is the best place for Thai in Denver. I can never remember what level of spice I like, but I think it is like a mild plus. The women who answer the phone always make sure you understand that their spices are pretty serious, and honestly, if you like spicy food, this is the one place that actually is true to their word. I usually order the Drunken Noodles and either Royal Chicken or Eggplant and always get take out. They are always very busy and have a small dining room, so I like to pick it up on the way home from work before their dinner rush happens. I also usually have enough leftover for at least 2-3 meals. read more

Very good, used to be beyond good I got take out but not like it used to be. Used to be better

It's pretty good, but everyone who said Mild+ is a weenie, because that was not spicy in the slightest.

We were one of three tables in the restaurant when we walked in on Sunday at 7pm. We were both famished since we have spent the previous 4 hours in the car battling traffic on 1-70 on the way home from the mountains. The server promptly took our order. Then we waited.... and kept waiting. The phone was ringing off the hook for to-go orders and we saw them making food and putting it on the counter for people to pick up. Around 45 minutes I was getting antsy and pissed. We were the only table who hadn't been served our food, and we should take precedence over people not eating in the restaurant. It took 53 minutes to bring out my Masman Curry and my husband's Drunken Noodles. I bit into a potato and it was green, black and crunchy. I was SO disappointed. I ate the chicken out of my curry and left the crunchy potatoes and crunchy onions which comprised 3/4 of my dish. Michael's drunken noodles were tasty and flavorful, as were the mangoes and sticky rice we ordered (since I was still hungry). It's sad to see the service and food quality slipping. read more

Amazing authentic Thai Food!!! Gotta give this place a try. Whenever I'm in a mood for Thai food this is the spot.

This Thai Place is amazing! Just do not order anything Thai Hot! I eat a lot of Spicy food nearly every day. I will even use a whole bottle of Tapatio on a breakfast burrito, but Thai Hot at this place is ridiculously hot! The heat is nearly bareable but is sooooooooo hot that you cannot taste any flavor except regret, and the next day you will have firehole... I have ordered 3 items Thai Hot and everytime I will spend more time and effort chewing on pepper seeds than wiping my nose. If you want super spicy and still flavorful then order the next lower heat from Thai Hot. Other than that this place is great! Order take out, pick it up, walk down to Sloans Lake (just a block down), and have a picnic. read more

Spicy like no other Thai places around, very hit or miss on spice levels, but excellent food that is currently carryout only

This is our go to Thai food! I love their pineapple curry. My husband and son loves their chicken satay! We also love their egg rolls. They have great service and easy to take out from. They have different options for spice and can make it really spicy if that's what you like! They have been around for a long time, and know what they are doing! read more

Great food when you can get it. We came here on a Saturday and be prepared to wait an hour and a half for food. We wanted to order take out but we're informed that it would be quicker than hour to be seated and eat at the restaurant. After an hour of waiting, we had no updates on our food and were told after an hour that it would be another 25 minutes because they were prioritizing take out food. Leaves a lot to be desired in customer service. read more

BEST THAI FOOD IN TOWN! A big thank you from The Giving Tree for staying open and being so awesome during these uncertain times. The service was very quick, and my food was ready within 15 minutes. As always, it was delicious! The Pad Thai and the Pad See Ew are both great and tasty dishes. I know I can always count on fast and friendly service when I order here! I also appreciated that everyone was wearing a mask and keeping their distance. Made me feel very safe! Peace and Love, The Giving Tree read more

Food was great, service was just ok. The waitress wasn't super helpful but we were with friends who live in Denver so they were able to make suggestions. It's spacious and the interior is basic, so not a fancy place to bring a first date. Definitely recommend the pad Thai and be forewarned that the "mild+" spice level could be a medium level at other restaurants. I loved the steamed pork dumplings and the veggie spring rolls were light but filling. Giving four stars for quality of the cuisine. It's a no nonsense place and we were in and out pretty quickly. read more

I love US Thai. However, recently it appears they are cutting back on their portions. I have been ordering from them for over 2 years, and over the last month or so noticed my orders seems less then in the past. Otherwise, good food. read more

I've heard about US Thai through many people and have been trying to try it but they are always so busy! Finally my friend got through the phone line one night and we prepared ourselves for the hour+ wait. It. Was. Worth. It. This was the best Thai I've had in Colorado. The yellow curry was full of veggies and had a light, creamy texture and a good balance of sweetness and spice. But for me the deal closer was the 'Pad See Ew', which has the best noodles I've ever had with this dish-not too thick, not stuck together, not covered in too-sticky sauce. On top of that, the wontons were clearly hand rolled and prepared (not perfectly shaped and frozen). Now I know to a) call early and expect to wait and hour and b) always go with US Thai when I can. read more

My boyfriends sister had tried this place out and said it was good so my boyfriend and I tried it out. The place was kind of small but had a lot of people dining in. That's a good sign. We order beef drunken noodles medium spice, chicken pad Thai medium spice, and a Thai tea. The chicken pad Thai was a combination of sweet and spicy and was delicious! The beef drunken noodles were amazing I definitely recommend that your first time or if you've never tried it before. It is very very spicy though so if you can't handle the heat just get a lower level of spice. But the spice didn't overwhelmed the flavor of the noodles so it tasted good! Spice isn't any good if you can't taste the flavor, but this place has exceeded my expectations for Thai food. I've had other Thai places good, bad, and okay but this place was amazing, I'm hoping to come back soon for a second time. read more

Decent ingredients used in the dishes in a cramped atmosphere. The food is good, the service is decent. The spicy hot dishes are spicy hot, just how they should be. It's hard to find food around here that is more than 'American Hot' which translates to mild/medium most places. So if you like spicy hot, you have to give them a try. read more

US Thai Cafe - Menu April 2018 - Thai Near Me - Edgewater, Colorado

Wouldn't change a thing. They have a variety of levels of spice and have not changed their small homey feel since I have been going here for 5+ year. Delicious! read more

The best Thai food in Denver. Currently only open for take out. Also currently closed on Sundays as of 4/4/22. I get the classic pad Thai in mild plus. I tried the medium spice level once and it was very hot compared to most Thai places so keep that in mind. The mild plus still offers a comfortable level of spice. The pork egg rolls are also a delicious add on. Definitely one of my go to take out meals. read more

Pad Thai is awesome. Truly best in denver area. I have been looking for some Thai hot to put me in my place and US Thai delivered. I typically go to a Thai spot Uptown denver and their Thai hot is baby food compared to US Thai. Order at your own risk, and let it be known that I asked for the pain I put on myself. read more

The low star reviews for this place are just silly. That's not to say that a restaurant shouldn't be cleanly, organized or have good service but, this is clearly not a place where those things are the standard or to be expected. This is a local, quick and authentic joint that serves its purpose in giving you hot ( in temperature and spice) Thai food that people apparently enjoy. I say this because this was my first and only experience with Thai and it's clear that Thai is just not the food for me. The menu was big, diverse and clearly states the spice, alternatives and things like that. I personally won't go back but it has nothing to do with the food, service or cleanliness. It's just not my kinda food. read more

Delicious food that has been consistent for years! I highly recommend you order take out. The only thing higher than the spice level of the food is the noise level in the dining area. While at even less than capacity, the ambient noise of just conversations is absolutely ear-splitting! US Thai, maybe chat to a handyman about some sound baffles. Until then customers, take your food across the street to Joy Ride where the beers will help cool your palate. read more

Huge line. Told me to come back in an hour and cannot contact us once ordered. Frustrating for sure. But darn, it's good haha. One of the few places where it's worth the wait. Hopefully in the future they sort the other stuff out as they could be doing double the business. read more

They don't know how to do real Thai spicy food. I asked for spicy US chicken special and instead of having the actual meat/vegetables flavored in classic Thai green chilis and spices, it was just the same regular dish with a cup of chilli oil and flakes dumped on. It wasn't flavorful and it was inedible. This is not what Thai spicy means and this is not how you make edible flavorful Thai food. There was hardly even any chicken in my dish. read more

US Thai Cafe - US Chicken Special - Hot - Thai Near Me - Edgewater, Colorado

This is my favorite Thai food in Denver. I eat here at least once a month. The Panang curry is by far my favorite. Other top picks for me are the Green Curry, Thom Kha, and Papaya salad. Hot is hot here! I love spice, and med is usually hot enough for me, it's hot! My partner once in a while talks about getting Thai hot, and then pussy's out. Some days I get mild or mild plus, and it still has a nice(not bland) amount of spice. The curry seems a little thicker here than some places, maybe it's the gravy that keeps me coming back so often. Really nice staff, informal dining, with extremely flavorful food. On one side note; They have had unusual closures in the afternoon sometimes. It doesn't hurt to call ahead, especially if just ordering take away. It is rightly popular around lunch/dinner, allow for more cook/dining time. Closed on Mondays, which when I was serving tables, was my Sat and exactly when I wanted what I couldn't have. I have now adjusted my the timing of my craving US Thai read more

Tried the beef pad Thai no spicy again. Wasn't really a fan this time without the spice. Will try with medium spice next time!

Drunken noodle medium was excellent. Crab wontons also excellent. Great price. Hard working people. Will be back.

We went to this place on a recommendation of a fellow skier. At the time of posting, they were accepting only takeout. We didn't know that and asked for seating. They accommodated us - we found out about the takeout option only when we were done eating. The food was exceptional - definitely top 3 that I have tasted. The base was definitely delicious for all 3 items - penang curry, green curry, and yellow curry. They also use a different form tofu which doesn't need to be deep fried. It was delicious. Two points: 1) Parking is a pain. You may be better off ordering through Uber eats or taking a Uber when the restaurant opens up 2) I ordered "as hot as you can make it". They sprinkle chili powder on top. I prefer that the chili be cooked in, not added at the end. Try asking for it be cooked in. Regardless, the food was delicious The staff was also very friendly and served us with a smile. read more

Literally the worst thai food I have ever tasted. I can handle heat. I was warned of this place being excessively spicy so I went for the hot. They tried to talk me out of it at the restaurant but I insisted. I ordered the pad thai, since that dish is generally a good indication if the restaurant is able to prepare something easy and tasty. Upon opening my to-go container, I was greeted with a dark pile of burnt, crispy and greasy noodles, covered in chili flakes. It looked like they scraped a pile of old noodles from underneath their wok and tossed it in some heavy oil and called it pad thai. No flavor. Just a pile of chili flakes. No peanuts, bean sprouts, no herbs. Just a pile of chili flakes. Go somewhere else. There is far superior thai food in Denver. You have been warned. read more

OK... I don't take a five star review lightly. Several places that I frequent on a regular basis don't even get a five star review. However, I stopped at US Thai after going to Denver due to the high praise from other yelpers and also friends alike. I had high expectations, which is good and bad. I didn't want to overdo it and be disappointed later...here are details below... PS, I ordered takeout, so I can't comment on the dining in experience. PARKING-it was tough... I tried to park in the lot close by, and they were supremely busy around 12:30 PM. Which is to be expected. I would say for ease of parking, drop off people that need assistance, and go on off hours if possible. SERVICE-The main guy that I talked to upon entering was super nice! And same on the phone. He seemed to not want to rush me through a decision on what to order, and he also explained that they will not refund the money for those that order Thai hot as newbies, as they warn you! That actually peaked my interest, because I am a spice a holic! FOOD-The main enchiladas so to speak! I got soup and curry... I ordered hot and Thai hot... And let me tell you... Both were smoking hot! I am used to eating really really hot food, however it did make my eyes water! Just notice when you go out the first endeavor that the spice will hit you hard! But I love it. And I wouldn't have changed my order. And beyond having a pleasant spice level, the food was absolutely delicious! The Tom Yum was so delicious and had a great smoky chipotle type flavor... I'm not quite sure why, but the broth was delicious. So as mentioned above, I cannot comment on The dining experience... They looked extremely busy, which is hard for any business to keep up with... However, that's a great sign. I hope to come back again and try more food on the menu! So far I am extremely impressed. read more
