Really good Thai food. This is our go to option for carryout. Atmosphere inside is simple but the food is yummy. Staff is kind and helpful. They get quite busy sometimes because it is so good. Recommend this for sure. Chicken Satay is amazing! read more

Great dive place with amazing food in a really hip/cool part of Denver. All three of us raved how great the food was. I think they were understaffed that day, so we had to flag down our waiter to get more water and the check. Regardless, we're all going back! read more

I was visiting from out of town and came here for dinner. The service was super friendly! And they helped me make some decisions for ordering. I got the Garlic Delight (one of the house specials) and it was so good I've been trying to find some version of that dish back home. I got "mild plus" as my spice level and thought that was great! It is always hard to put spice level into context but I usually get medium at places that are scaled to the American taste, and I usually get mild at Thai and Indian places where the scale is less American-adjusted. read more

The hubs and I had tried coming here a while back but the wait for carry out was over 45 minutes so we paused that idea. Flash forward to the present and we found a table mid day on a Saturday. Hooray! We started with the spring rolls which were filled with chicken, mint, cucumber and bean sprouts. I don't know how to describe the rice paper other than it was the best we've had and seemed to have been made from scratch. Not sure about that but wow. The peanut sauce was almost as thick as creamy peanut butter and was also totally unique and delish. For my main I went with my beloved veggies in green curry that I seem to order at every Thai restaurant. This was by far the best one I've had in the Denver area. The hubs got the chicken pad Thai which was one of the best he has also had. It had more sauce than we've seen but it was packed with flavor. Service was super fast and friendly and we totally understand why they have such huge lines most of the time! read more

I've been eating at US Thai for years and though I no longer work in the neighborhood I still make a trip over because the food is spot on. It's Thailand authentic! I recently tried something else on the menu besides my go-to "US Thai Special" stir fry. It was the Veggie Pineapple Curry. Oh my word was this delicious and filling. You can add a meat or tofu but I prefer just extra veggies. The coconut milk base is creamy and you can select your level of spice. The curry flavor is tame so don't let "Curry" detour you from trying this hearty meal especially refreshing for a cold day. Always friendly - consistent - tastes amazing - great price/value. Just go try it - I've yet to find something I didn't like...it's all good and lunch time gets packed so you can call ahead and pick up if you have a short lunch break. read more

Beware of the spice level! This was my first time having Thai food in Denver, Colorado and I learned my lesson. I'm from SJ and usually handle my spice and always order medium or hot and ofc it's never as hot as it's described. US Thai Cafe in Denver is definitely hot and you get what you pay for. We ordered 3 entrees: Pad Soy (medium), Basil Fried Rice (medium), and Green Curry (hot). Ofc when we ordered "hot" spice level, the waitress asked if it's our first time here and warned us it's spicy, but ofc we didn't listen and said hot is OK. The Pay Soy & Basil Fried Rice arrived first and it looked yummy and when I had my first bite, I definitely tasted the kick of spice for just medium spice but continued eating. There were a lot of red chili flakes. I was enjoying my two entrees and was warming up from the spice since we just came in from the freezing snowy weather. When the green curry arrived, I was like omg this is not green curry, it wasn't even GREEN. The red chili flakes turned the green curry into red. I took a very small spoonful of the green curry and I was on fire. Remember, this green curry was hot spice and on the menu it is listed "HOT - NOT RECOMMENDED FOR FIRST TIME VISITOR." You should definitely order hot spice at your own discretion. The food is definitely good, but if you want to actually enjoy your food and not be on fire then I recommend ordering mild spice. I heard mild spice is spicy enough, but there's also mild+. If I visit Denver again I would definitely return and order mild spice level for the dishes. #lessonlearned read more

The hype (aka my drooling over Yelp posts) was right! Best Thai in the Denver area, hands down. I got the Pad Thai and my husband ordered the Green Curry. Both were absolutely delicious. More words cannot help to express the deliciousness--go try for yourself. The place is quaint and clean, and the service is tremendous. We'll be going back! read more

I love lots of veggies in Thai food and picked a menu item that offered bell,pepper, broccoli, green bean, baby corn, and carrot AND I paid for extra veggies - there were maybe a total of two small very limp broccoli stems in this dish - people seem to like this place for their use of spice but if you like veggies this is not the place for you read more

The Pad Thai, Drunken Noodles, and Pad See Ew were all phenomenal, and great value for the cost. Be warned that Mild+ is as spicy as a normal human being should order, and that if you are dining in the restaurant is small and LOUD read more

I love US Thai! The pineapple curry and the pad Thai are amazing. I'm so thankful I live nearby!

Great neighborhood spot. Good food. We eat here regularly and will continue to. Yum yum yum!!!

After so many people telling me this is the best thai in Denver, I had to make a stop in! They are currently doing to go orders only and around lunch time on a Saturday it only took 10 to 15 minutes! I ordered the Pineapple Curry mild and it was so tasty! So much flavor and just the right amount of heat. I'm obsessed! read more

This place is so fire! Our waitress was super hot, attentive but not annoying. She made really good menu recommendations. I had the combo appetizer and green curry medium. It was perfect amount of spicy with delicious eggplant. Everything on the combo appetizer was delicious and it came with a trio of dipping sauces. Wr had a little one with us and were made to feel comfortable and welcome! 10 out of 5 stars! We will be back soon! read more

I remember this place being so much better... typical Wednesday night dining that left us with a bitter taste and here's why... first of all the service. The gal that took care of us had this "no-expression" look on her face, almost one of those "I-hate-my-job" attitude. The appetizer- not impressed at all! We picked the sampler so it had wontons, spring rolls, some chicken skewers and dumplings. I mean the wontons looked like a middle school cooking class experiment; small, cold, no flavor. The spring rolls were ok and the dumplings but the chicken skewers definitely had a taste of old chicken that has been sitting there waiting to be served. Moving on to the entree for which we waited about 30 min or so from the time we got the appetizer. We ordered the Pad See Ew and we requested one order of the mild + and one of hot. Yes we got the disclaimer that it would be very hot and if we are sure we are ok with it. Food finally comes out and the hot one is covered, I mean covered in red chili flakes. Ok so far so good, not moving onto the taste. Ok I know hot food can be hot but hot food can also be hot and flavorful and this was was hot and bland. If anything there was a burnt taste probably from the oil but it was not edible at all. We did the best we could to eat through the meat and some of the veggies and noodles. The mild + version was not any better; also had a burnt taste to it and it was lacking the flavors that I remember of this particular dish. After it was all set and done we spend a whopping $40 on this dinner (not including the tip). NOT WORTH IT! read more

This was the third time that I have picked up US Thai. I've heard it is some of the best Thai Food in Denver, and I really don't understand. Granted, I haven't dined in so maybe that is the game-changer? I've tried and it doesn't add up. All three times, they have asked me if I have had their medium. I have said yes. It's almost as if they don't believe me, as, they say it is spicy, but it's not. I've ordered, dumplings, Basil Fried Rice, spring rolls when they had them, Pad Thai and Toomyam with beef and with chicken. All pretty lackluster until tonight... which was just TERRRIBLE.. The Toomyam tonight had an entire half of an uncut, uncooked onion in it as well as an entire ginger-clove, uncooked. Upon removing the onion, I took a spoon-full, bit-in, and bit in entirely into the the uncooked ginger-clove. It has honestly been the worst experience, and actually straight up terrible, of any restaurant I've ever tried. Joke is for sure on me that I went back three times to have the same mediocre to straight terrible meal, but I was trying to give this place a chance. Don't let US Thai Cafe fool you. read more

Tried the Panang Curry for the first time and would definitely recommend. The curry is packed full of flavor and quite creamy.

It's a low key good location in edge water. The staff is friendly and the central kitchen is entertaining. I ordered the Drunken noodles, hot. The waitress said their "hot" is hotter than most and warned me that they will not remake it for me if it is too spicy. I usually order hot at Thai places so i went with that. The dish they brought out was so covered in peppers it looked like a joke. See photo. Surprisingly it was not inedible but the meat was tough and dry and the overwhelming flavor was burnt peppers. Their was another level of hot above this one, though i can't picture adding more crushed red pepper to this dish. So i was disappointed. read more

Amazing Thai food in Denver! Call ahead early as there is usually a 30-1hr wait to pick up food. Got 2 Pad Thais, one Mild+ and the other Hot. The mild+ would be considered hot at other Thai restaurants. Anything hotter than medium just tastes like chili pepper. Super affordable prices. This will definitely be my go to Thai take out place read more

Ok as Thai restaurants go. Food is fresh and tasty, but menu portions are smaller than expected. Plenty of ginger in the stir fry vegetable menu item that I chose, but the ginger root was a particularly bitter specimen. Service is very good. Waitress was particularly helpful to alert us which dishes were prepared with a fish broth base, and which dishes were truly vegan. Ambience is family style. Location was difficult to get to because of street being blocked for some sort of festival. Parking is "street parking", meaning we parked 2 blocks around the corner in front of someone's house. read more

WOW! One of the best Thai places I've eaten at - I love love love Pad Thai and theirs did not disappoint. Unfortunately, it is still take out early but they compensate that by giving you so much of your meat option! (I got chicken). My boyfriend got medium spicy, and he says that's plenty spicy (please get the mild or mild+ if you are sensitive to spice levels). Already thinking about the next time I'll eat at this place - thanks for a positive experience! read more

We ordered egg rolls as we did not want meat. Instead was served pork rolls which we sent back. they do not have veg broth which was not helpful. and we did not even get out full order. papaya salad never arrived. food was heavy and mediocre. read more

Per the group's recommendation, last night we decided to try US Thai Cafe. It was great! Very authentic! I'm glad we got there before 6 p.m., due to the long wait that quickly built after that time. We went with a quasi-vegetarian friend, so I compromised on what I would usually order. Instead of starting out with a tom kha soup, we ordered the tom yum/yam soup (lemongrass based). It was excellent! Although I gravitate towards more creamy coconut flavored items in Thai food, I am glad I went outside of my comfort zone and tried something new.  We also ordered chicken satay as an appetizer. It contained plenty of chicken breast on skewers, but was a little stingy on the peanut sauce which tasted amazing! I'm sure I could have asked for more sauce. Our friend Rebecca and I split an order of vegetable Pad Thai. Normally I would get a combo of meat and seafood, but I have to admit that the vegetable option was really good and had plenty of well-seasoned healthier alternatives. The noodles were great, and the overall flavor was some of the best Pad Thai I have ever tasted. Bob was underwhelmed by the US Thai Special Stir Fry he ordered with chicken.  I tried some, and agreed that it wasn't that exciting. However, he chose this entree trying to avoid fish paste that is found in most Thai cuisine. I want to go back! Bob's happy to stay home away from the possibilities of unknown fish-based ingredients that sometimes slip into dishes without mention. read more

Stopped by here for to-go on our last day in Colorado. It was a hole in the wall and only did to go during this time. I ordered the beef drunken noodles with hot spice level(I usually order Thai spicy since I have a high tolerance for spice but other reviewers noted that they're spicy is next level) and my bf ordered tofu pad Thai mild. The noodles came out piping hot and def hit the spot. Both of our dishes were flavorful and we couldn't help but eat it right away in the car. The other reviewers were right... the spicy level was spot on with lots of red peppers. Def too spicy for my bf. The portions were reasonable ($11-12). read more

I'm always on the hunt for new Thai food, so I was so happy when someone invited me here. I absolutely loved the area it was in. I'm not on that side of town, but the whole block was poppin'. The restaurant is cute and very intimate. I had drunken noodles that were SO good and SO hot. I can normally handle hot food, I prefer it, this a bit for me though. I should have taken the hint when the server told me the medium was hotter than most. My experience was great that I already made a second trip, and have my third planned tomorrow. read more

My boyfriend took me here awhile ago for my first ever Thai experience. I'm always so hesitant to try new foods, but I fell in love! We go at least once a month here. They can get pretty busy but it is definitely worth it. When we first started coming here staff was rude, ignored you, didn't seem to care but we didn't care because the food was delicious. Now the waitress knows our order, and sometimes is startled if she doesn't seem my boyfriend and I together haha cute of them to notice we are a couple. It's a total hole in the wall, wouldn't think anything of it when you walk past it. Sometimes the take out gets so busy they don't offer it. Heads up, Monday's are closed! I always get the Ladna, mild plus with chicken. Their food is relatively spicey but I found that the mild plus is perfect, if you want a kick just add siracha. Wontons and pork egg rolls are amazing! We typically get both of the above for appetizers and two meals for less than $30. STRONGLY RECOMMEND read more

Medium/Hot Spicy Drunken Noodles with Shrimp and Medium Spicy Seafood Pad Thai. It was awesome. It's safe to say that I've gotten over my aversion to Thai food. However, my husband's noodles were a bit too spicy for him. Had to get a cheeseburger at Sonic (pictured for comedic purposes). The menu literally says first timers should start with the "Mild+". I been here twice. That's what you get for thinking you're bad. Also they don't use fresh chilies. They use flakes so keep that in mind. This place is completely no frills. The room echos with everyone's voices. It took about 15 minutes to get our food, and I noticed we weren't the only couple in there. In fact, almost every table seemed to be having a date night. Not sure if that's a normal thing for this restaurant but I could get why. It's right across from Sloan's Lake. read more

Ordered a dish of pork and basil. After receiving an order of chicken and basil, I brought the unopened package back to the restaurant, at which point I was mocked and was referred to as "idiot American". It's a common misunderstanding I get it, but I do know the different between the two. We got one pork dish and one chicken dish, and the protein was identical, so there was a miscue somewhere, and telling the customer they are an idiot, unknowing that they understand the language is a pretty frustrating feeling. The flavor of the food was great, but the service towards the customer leads to this poor review. Easy fix! Otherwise promising restaurant! read more

This place is the real deal. Not fancy and parking can be a challenge, but if you want super flavorful Thai food with good portions, this is the place! Be warned, it can be spicy so maybe go mild the first time and then work your way up, because you will be back 100% read more

With a very heavy heart I am writing this review @ 01:45hrs Saturday March 21st 2009. On Friday evening @ 19:00hrs March 20th 2009, my fifth visit to US Thai Cafe. This time around I came with a huge party of 25 peeps of adults and kids. I have made the reservation, 1 month in advance, and confirmed booking one week before the event in person and reconfirmed again on Thursday March 19th 2009 evening. All these arrangement was done thru Wi. She told me that they can handle this group that I will be bringing. Then when I arrived as usual being early to make sure the seating arrangement is done at the other side of the dining area, there were like 6 other people who are not part of my party seated at our "assigned" dining area. All in all, I would just say NOT to bring a big group. The food I received on Friday evening of March 20th was just OK since I believed the cooks ~ Chefs was overwhlemed by the turn out of our party. So my advice for future yelpers, have a small party or just come with your other half or at most 5 peeps in your party. At the end of the dinner, some of my friends said their food was good, the only disappointment was the service they had. Wi, apologized to the entire group. She feels that she and her waitstaff, could not handle such a big group like us. She also apologized for the small kitchen they have and the lack of service that made our group unhappy. I feel so sad, just so sad... nevertheless, I will still come to visit US Thai Cafe with Hubs in the future, if we happened to be in the neighborhood. read more

Ordered drunken noodles with chicken (mild since I know how Thai spiciness level goes up exponentially). This dish came out amazing. It had flavor and heat all gift wrapped in each bite. The plate didn't look like much but when I was done my belly was definitely smiling. Now I bet you're wondering why I gave my experience two stars? The simple answer is service which was utter garbage. Our waitress did not smile or even make eye contact. I understand many cultural mannerisms but this is far from what I have experienced in any Thai restaurant or even my Thai friends. This girl was quick yet grouchy faced the whole time. Everyone else who was served by the guy had a smile on their faces and probably gave bigger tips too. I'm guessing this is a family owned restaurant. Still, if our waitress didn't want to be there she could go get a job somewhere else. I would come back for the food but if we got the same waitress I would definitely request to be moved to a different section. read more

I'll start by saying that the food here is great. We've gotten both egg rolls and pad thai here and have not been disappointed with the food itself. The pad thai was flavorful and had a great spice to it. I'd agree with others here that the portions were a good size. Unfortunately, after a bit of internal debate, I decided to give 3 stars based on our last experience here. As others have noted in their reviews, the wait time for take out is pretty significant -- up to and sometimes over an hour. We called an order in ahead of time a few Fridays ago -- two veggie pad thais and an order of veggie egg rolls and were told this would take take about 70 minutes. When we got there, we checked in and our order was brought to us. Unfortunately, there was a mistake on their end: they only had one pad thai for us. Instead of apologizing (they never did), the hostess said, "Okay, well we only made one... so, do you still want that?" How awkward! We went back and forth a bit and the options we were given were basically pay for the one pad thai OR order a second one, which would be added to the BACK OF THE LINE and wait for that. We asked them to remake both, so that we could actually have hot food and eat together. I was pretty shocked and disappointed that this went to the back of the line. We waited another 50 minutes for our to-go order -- more than two hours total -- and not only didn't get an apology, but didn't get any sort of discount or anything comped either. I'm not one to make demands and so didn't ask for anything like that, but it was surprisingly poor customer service. We like the food, but this experience left a bad taste in our mouths. read more

I've been looking forward to trying this place out for a long time now because of their glowing reviews. I got it for take out tonight since their dine in area is still closed. They only do phone orders I believe and it was about a 20 min wait on a Friday night. The staff was really nice when I came to pick up. I ordered the beef pad see ew with spice level mild+ and although it was piping hot and the wide rice noodles were fresh and had great texture, my entire dish was so sour. I'm not sure if they added lime juice to it or if the Chinese broccoli had gone bad but it was not good. You could barely taste the soy sauce flavor that makes for a good pad see ewe. My dish also only came with 3 pieces of beef. They were large pieces that could probably be cut in half but they were large and tough to eat because it was over cooked. The spice level was on point though. I probably could've gotten medium spice. My family got pad thais and unfortunately, they did not like their noodles either. Maybe it was an off night... but it was a disappointing meal. I still give it 3 stars cause it's very affordable ($9.75) read more
