Best Thai in Denver. Unfortunately they close on random days in addition to Monday's. They're so amazing I hardly can count it against them

The best Thai food in all of Denver. Incredibly authentic and uncompromising; The waitstaff here are fantastic & I am excited to come back. All the dumb gringo Denver trash reviews really piss me off; PS white people Thai food is some of the spiciest food in the world. Real South Asian food is VERY spicy; if it isn't spicy it's not Thai.. I hope that the owners continue to serve authentic food & don't dumb it down for all the gringos, if you want to actually experience the food of south Asia you have to embrace the spicy. Thank you for making real Thai food!!! You are a blessing to Denver read more

this place is amazing and delishhhh. i ALWAYS get paid see lew no egg, extra brown sauce and they never disappoint :)

I used to love going to US Thai Cafe before they started to change their recipes and the place itself. The food seem to have mellow out. It's not as delicious as it used to be. Today I came in for dinner with my cousin, which was around 4:40 PM. It was pack even though it had just open again for dinner time. We stood there and the server who was a old lady rush us to the other side when we ask if we can sit on the left side of the restaurant. She ignore us and told us to sit there. It was stuffy on the right side of the restaurant. The heater was strong. Already a bad start. We wait for about 20 minutes before she came over and took our order. We had gotten Pad Thai with chicken, Drunken Noodle with beef and Pineapple Fried Rice. We waited and waited. About an hour later our food finally arrived. We were excited to eat since this was our favorite Thai place to eat at. Wrong, the pad thai had a weird sour flavor to it. The tamarind flavor was much stronger too. It was a major let down. As we proceed to try the pineapple fried rice, we notice that the ratio of onion and carrot was more than rice itself. Ok that's fine, but are they planning to make you choke on the veggie? The onion was cut to almost the size of a slice of apple. You can see in the photo how big it is. Not only was that the only issue, but they had left quite a few pieces of egg shell in our fried rice. Talk about being rush. The drunk noodle taste decent out of all the dishes. But I don't think we will be back. If you want to drive another 10-15 minutes your better off getting JJ Thai Noodle or Suvipa Thai on Federal. It's so much better there. read more

No frills Thai restaurant, but great value! We were on vacation here and of course I took to yelp for a place to eat. There were a lot of Thai restaurants to choose from but we are glad we chose this place. We came in around 7:50pm and were seated right away. The places was very busy. We ordered tofu pineapple curry and drunken noodles. Both were delicious!! The wait for the food was about 35 minutes but we didn't mind. Listen to the reviews about the spice level....I eat very hot food and the mild plus still had my mouth burning! Overall great portion size for money & we both had leftovers. Visit this place if you can! read more

Although I've never been to Thailand, I'm an avid fan of Thai food, particularly Curry dishes. After searching far and wide for decent Thai food in Denver, I finally found US Thai (and it was nearly in my backyard...who knew??) and my girlfriend and I won't go anywhere else. Their curry and noodle dishes are rich with flavor and far superior, not to mention much more reasonably priced, when compared to fancier "Thai" spots like Swing Thai or Sweet Basil. I'm addicted to their Massman Curry w/ Chicken. Fresh, crisp veggies and tender meats. If you like heat, they can heat it up. I'd say their "Medium" heat level is relative to Medium-Hot at other joints. Give it a shot...I think you'll agree. read more

I have been a regular here for quite awhile and really love this place. Pad thai is the measuring stick of any authentic thai cuisine and this is the best I have found in the Denver area. I have tried almost everything on the menu and the only really bad item I will never order again is the herbal roasted chicken (Fail!) but everything else is amazing! I especially recommend trying the Pik Kai Laoding (Thai buffalo wings!) OMG so freaking good! My only complaint is that it's 0 to 100 on the spicy scale. Don't get me wrong I like it hot but medium here is hot at most other Thai places. Mild is zero, flat, nothing - mild should have a little kick just not overwhelming. They dont seem to understand that the more sensitive pallets still like a little heat but not blistering (i'm ok with medium but it has really turned off some of my friends who get hurt when they order medium). Tip: you can order mild plus but it always seems to be hit or miss - sometimes almost nothing other times almost medium. Overall: if you love Thai you owe it to yourself to check this place out. read more

Best Thai in Denver!!! We live in the neighborhood so we are spoiled to have this spot. The place is small but quite a few tables. It can be a nightmare some nights to get through to someone to order takeout but it's always well worth it! I've never had anything I didn't like, all the curries are awesome and the pineapple fried rice are our usuals. They aren't shy with the spice, be careful if you like it on the milder side ;-) read more

Best Thai food in Denver!! Menu is affordable. The spice levels in their dishes are fantastic if you like spicy food. They are not kidding when they say to get mild plus the first time you dine there. I always get the pad Thai, it comes with shrimp and chicken read more

US Thai Cafe - If you can't do spicy food but still want a little flavor, ask for mild with chili pepper on the side. Pad Thai &drunken noodles - Thai Near Me - Edgewater, Colorado

See all

I LOVE this place when dining in. The food is great and the service is typically pretty efficient. However, I have never successfully been able to connect with the restaurant and place an order over the phone--I always get a busy signal or a message saying they are no longer taking orders for take out. read more

The best! I was in Denver for a 4 day business trip and I went there every night for dinner.

I would say good. A little on the greasy side for me, personally. But good flavor, price, portions etc.

US Thai Cafe is a good place to eat, but probably not my favorite Thai restaurant in CO. I went there for lunch on a Sunday and I got the beef pad see ew medium spicy! Pad See Ew is my favorite Thai dish all time. I love how US Thai's spicy level is a whole new level of spicy! My dish was delicious but I didn't like the quality of the beef. It felt very chewy and overcooked. But I still enjoyed the noodles with the sauce. The price was also very affordable. read more

Best Pad Thai in Denver, hands down. Hands DOWN. There's usually a bit of a wait, but that is because they are so busy, because of the aforementioned pad Thai. Boom! read more

Cheap Curry. Decent flavor but WAY too sweet. They don't have lunch specials, so I downgraded them to 2 stars from what would have been 3. There are better options at the same price nearby. read more

Best Thai in the city and it's no joke when they say medium is extra spicy. Everything I've tried has been amazing ! Best hidden gem in denver read more

The food is nothing special but the service is a joke. I went in there during dinner time which may have been a mistake because I had to fight my way through people waiting on takeout orders. After finally getting someone's attention we were finally seated. It was a wait to get our order taken, again to get water and again to get our appetizers. It became apparent that they had forgotten our order when our neighboring diners who showed up after us got their food. Additionally, on this wintery night, takeout patrons continued to come in and out often leaving the door wide open which was incapable of closing itself. I watched waitstaff pass the wide open door by for several minutes before I got up myself to close it. So tonight we thought about doing takeout because it is still the closest Thai place and obviously takeout must be their strong suit. Well if you can get them on the phone it might be, but they must have disconnected their phone after we tried calling them more than once. No busy signal or message machine after the second call but a notification from Verizon saying the call can't be completed. It looked pretty open when drove past on the way to the grocery store! read more

My favorite thai place in all of Denver. As Spicy as it gets! I wish they were better about answering their phone or did online orders.

Just moved to Denver couple days ago. The guy at Trader's Joe recommended this restaurant, stated "the best Tai food in town". He was right! We ordered the chicken pad tai and the garlic delight with pork. Both were super delicious! We also ordered the tai iced coffee. It's sweet and creamy with a hint of grass jelly. I would choose this coffee over starbucks coffee all day everyday. We will definitely be back with friends and family! read more

Best Thai in Denver! Casual atmosphere with amazing food. Spicy, authentic, stir-fry thai cooked fresh on the spot. You cannot go wrong here! Reasonable prices make for great value. read more

Most authentic Thai food in Denver! Be careful about spice level as mild plus is very spicy! The food is delicious and fast. Decent prices and a good menu. I love their coconut lemongrass soup! Yummmmmmm!!! read more

Not sure what the hype is about ... we waited 40 minutes for below average pad Thai and drunken noodles. We are definitely coming back here.

My favorite place in Denver not to mention the BEST Thai food in the entire city! Nothing compares. They're always busy as hell, calling in orders are also crazy, so don't be surprised if the wait seems crazy for either. It's all worth it. read more

Hole in the wall type of place with really great Thai food. I had the drunken noodles and my wife had the pad thai. We both agreed that the drunken noodles were the better of the two dishes but the pad thai was still above average. Will be back again to try some other items on the menu before our trip to Thailand! read more

Hands down the best Thai food in town!! I've tried most of them and this place wins by a long shot. If you order hot you had better mean it--they don't mess around! Pad thai is great---dry, not soupy---great flavor and great spice. Curries are rich and flavorful. One complaint----they need more than two high chairs for the entire restaurant---try eating a juicy bowl of curry with a 14 month old on your lap---it's not fun! read more

I have been on the Green Curry quest for about 2 years. Green Curry is the only item I order when I seek out Thai food. This is the best I've had so far. And I've had lots. read more

Love, love, love this Thai restaurant. Have tried a number of different menu items over the last couple of years, and I have loved them all!! It's a tiny, hole-in-the-wall restaurant, but the food is delicious! Word of warning, when they say hot they mean HOT!!! :) Highly recommend the Panang Curry, Pad Thai, and Tom-Kha soup!! read more

By far the best Thai in the Denver metro area. Fresh ingredients. But warning the "Hot" is HOT!!!! I love this place read more

My boyfriend took me here for my birthday, saying it was "the best Thai food ever". I already had a place in my mind on where was the best Thai food, but this place is really great for a couple of reasons. The staff is super, super friendly. We went on a busy Friday night at the dinner rush, but they were very accommodating and we didn't mind the wait. We had to move tables once because of a bigger group needing our table, but our waitress gave us a free appetizer. I forgot what my boyfriend ordered, but I got the Medium + masamun curry. It was too spicy for me to eat it all, but both my boyfriend and the waitress warned me-so that was my bad. But it still tastes great. Loved the vibe too. Definitely the best Thai food I've found in Colorado! read more

Great food and excellent service. Upon recondition form my chef I took my family for lunch. The food was awesome and the service was impeccable! Our server was so sweet and informative. I will most definitely be going back! read more

The best thai around! We always order drunken noodles and green curry chicken meduim and it's always great! Usually order mild plus to medium if we want sweat! Friendly staff too. read more

My husband and I went tonight to eat there for dinner. The place is always pretty busy, either lunch or dinner, but we usually get our food within 20 minutes after being seated. Few months before, my husband and I went in for lunch and noticed their sign said will open at 1:30pm. It was 1:40pm and we walked in and all employees were sitting at tables eating. When we looked around to see if someone would seat us, they just looked at us as if what are doing here. Tonight, we decided to give them another chance. They were busy again, but took about 10 minutes before we got a table. We ordered appetizers and tea which came out within 10 minutes of our order. I looked at the clock it was 7:25pm after done with appetizers. At 8:10pm, others before us were getting their food, so we asked our server when we would receive our order. She said they were backed up with orders from take-out and going in order of service. She said it would be another 15 minutes before we get our order. After working all day, we decided to pay what we ordered and leave. We no longer will be coming back to their business. The food is good but the service is atrocious. Lost some good regular customers. read more

The food was very good. I was hesitant as the neighborhood looked a little gentrified and thought maybe this was a new "hip" joint with new distressed walls. However this is the real deal. We did get one soup that was extremely strong flavored. Like I couldn't even eat it and I eat anything. I don't remember which soup, I give myself a one star for this review. read more

I ordered the panang curry. Very spicy for even the mild+ (level 2). The flavor wasn't my favorite, it's supposed to be sweeter but the spice was the predominant flavor. The vegetables were very chunky and undercooked. I felt like I was eating raw veggies. The crab wontons were tasty though. Not my favorite Thai place I've visited. read more

Their food is ok, but a Thai place that won't do take out orders? I love decent Thai but since they won't take to-go orders they won't be receiving much of my business - Thai is my go to take out. Sad I have to find another spot :( read more

It's rare to get good Thai food in Denver because we always compare it to NYC. This place is just as good. Highly recommend!!!

oh man ... 1st time eva-eva i gotta write the phone service was rude & unfriendly ... only reason i'ma 4 star'n it ta'day. a phone order is just as important as a table order. BUMMER! I walked my happy a$$ on over & picked up my chow & the foodies M M MMMMM ... DELISH ... BIGGEST SMILE :) I ordered mild Pad Thai w/Chkn-Shrimp & my nose is runnen/mouth a lil on fire so 'member mild still has a lil twang in it. I WAS STARVING! YUM! read more

US Thai is the best Thai food in Denver hands down!!! The Thai iced tea is the best, not too sweet. Mild is mild and medium is hot. I have been going here for years, and today I ordered for takeout since they aren't doing dine-in during COVID. I noticed a lot of people had placed orders who were being impatient, trying to get inside. But they handled it with grace and everyone got their food quickly. Please be patient and remember to tip them for all the hard work they put in!! read more

Very authentic Thai place. I LOVE super spicy food... but I only get medium hot here (learned that the hard way). Fresh vegetables and good meat quality. Parking can be tough. read more

Ok, so this is my first 5 star rating, but it is really more of a 4.5. I like the this place a lot, but like almost anything in this world, it is not perfect. That being said, it is delicious, a good value, and is one place that definitely delivers on the spice. US Thai is your typical, hole in the wall place that serves great food. It is busy, and if you order takeout, you may get a weird answering machine telling you that there is a significant delay. The portions are pretty good, but not great, but it is still pretty cheap. Also, they do not serve alcohol, but I do not really care about that. This is one place that I will typically take a girl out to on a second or third date. If she is the type of girl I want to date, she will probably like it. If not, then it was not meant to be and she can find some other schmuck on Tinder to take her out to some bourgie, overpriced small plates restaurant. On to the food. The food here is spicy, so be wary if you are sensitive. They used to divide their spice ratings into mild, mild+, medium, medium+, hot, and Thai hot, but I guess that got too complicated for the cooks. Now, they do mild, medium, hot and Thai hot. I was always a fan of medium+, so now I get medium and a side of ground chili peppers so that I can add the desired kick. I should also mention that I have a pretty good tolerance to spicy food and that medium will be too hot for most people. The waitress will also let you know how spicy the food is. When I eat here, I typically get the Paneng curry or the Pad See Lew. I have also gotten the coconut milk soup so I will review that as well. The Paneng curry is excellent here. This is a red curry that comes with your choice of beef, chicken, pork or seafood. I always get beef. As for the spice, I get this dish medium and ask for a side of ground chili peppers. As mentioned earlier, even medium will be too spicy for most people, so be considerate of your company. Or don't be, if you feel like stuffing yourself. It costs around $9.00 and comes with rice so this is an excellent value. The beef quality is good, and the vegetables are exceptionally fresh. It is like you can taste nature. The curry has a rich and complex flavor and you can tell that the curry paste was made from scratch and not from a box. All in all, this dish gets 4.5 stars out of 5. If they doubled the portion size, I would give it 5 stars, but it is still enough for at least two meals. This is my favorite dish at this establishment. The Pad See Lew is pretty good here. This is a noodle dish, that comes with your choice of beef, chicken, pork or seafood. I get either chicken or beef. As for the spice, I order this mild, because I do not believe that Pad See Lew should be spicy. It costs around $9.00 and is a good value. The beef quality is good and so is the chicken. This dish is served with broccoli and some green onions and you can taste the freshness. The black bean sauce is pretty good, but just a little bit too sweet for my taste. I am splitting hairs though. There is just the right amount of oil on the flat noodles for that perfect balance of satiety, without too much greasiness. All in all, this dish gets 4 stars. You can get two meals out of an order. I was not really into the coconut milk soup. It was too sweet for me and every slurp made me want to ask the waitress if Metformin was on the menu. That being said, I have never ordered coconut milk soup, so I am not really sure how it is supposed to be prepared. Thus, I am giving this dish an uniformed 2 out of 5 stars. I didn't like it, but you might. All in all, this is one of my favorite restaurants in Denver, and generally, one of my favorite Thai restaurants. It does get crowded, but good restaurants often do. I should also mention that it is in a fun neighborhood, as I am a fan of Edgewater. They do not serve alcohol, but if you do decide to go on a date here, be aware that there are a number of bars that you can go to for a post-dinner drink. But if the date did not go well, and you got roped into a long discussion about flat earth theory, at least you might have some leftovers. This place gets 4.5 stars out of 5. read more
