Mouthwatering Thai in Aurora

Pearl of Siam

★★★★★ 4.6 (941) • $$

"I've been coming to this family-run Thai gem for years. Rich authentic flavor in each different dish we try. It used to be a predictable "hot means hot," but now it's a game of *spice roulette.* Some days, "hot" is a gentle nudge, and other days, "Thai hot" feels like I'm starring in an episode of *Hot Ones*. But hey, I've learned to respect the thrill--just go straight for "Thai hot" if you're feeling bold. The lunch special adds in free egg rolls. Great Authentic Thai"

Pepper Asian Bistro

★★★★☆ 4.2 (799) • $$

"Fantastic find! We arrived on a Friday night and were not disappointed at all. At first, the restaurant did seem a little unorganized as we were waiting by the door for a few minutes without being acknowledged, but once they sat us down, everything fell into place. Not only was the staff attentive, they were very quick to get us waters, menus, and get our orders out. We ordered 5 entrées to share, and we were not disappointed. The food was perfectly seasoned and was so flavorful. The spicy dishes had a kick, which was nice. We did try to not go too spicy as we were all sharing, but even the "hot" level did its thing! We've been talking about this place since we left, and can't wait to come back. Also, they were playing 2000's music which really made the ambience even better! Good food and great vibes!!"

Dancing Noodle Thai Cuisine

★★★★☆ 4.4 (695) • $$

"The restaurant is located in a small strip mall just northwest of Parker Rd and Mainstreet. Parking was pretty easy and light shown in from the front windows.We walked in to a smaller restaurant, smaller tables. A waitress told us to sit anywhere and brought over some menus.The appetizers were spring rolls and hot and sour soup with shrimp. The waitress actually brought us two bowls to split the soup, which was nice.Entrées included Drunken Noodles with Chicken and Thai Basil Chicken. You can custom order your heat - it was spot on. The meal and service was fantastic.The walls had a couple of pictures so if you want decor, this might not be the place. But if you want good food, check it out."

Pepper Asian Bistro II

★★★★★ 4.5 (561) • $$

"Went here for a lunch date. I have low expectations for some reason. Boy, ws I mistaken. Prices are reasonable for the quality. The service is superb, we were seated immediately. HUGE portions, and delicious flavor. I ordered the Thai Basil fried rice and was able to eat the rest for dinner. This is definitely one of the best Chinese food places in the City Park/Uptown/Congress Park area. Only second to Peters. A must try."

Liang's Thai Food

★★★★★ 4.6 (442) • $

"Liang's is an awesome food truck! Nice customer service, and delicious food at very resonable price. Panang curry was one of the best I have ever had and they give you a generous portion. I will definitely come back to try another menu! FYI 2 orders only per customer.. it is that popular!!"

Thai Monkey Club

★★★★☆ 3.7 (677) • $$

"Such an amazing experience! Love this hole in the wall off broadway. Extremely authentic and big plates of food. Always made with love. Been a few years since I've been but will ensure to frequent this place more often. Got the drunken noodle, Thai fried rice, Panang curry and their tofu appetizer was a show stopper. I don't like tofu either and was wide eyed. Also got their prik pao noodle and that was phenomenal too!Service was spot on and can't say enough great things about this place."

Bua Thai Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.1 (517) • $$

"Bua is beautiful inside and the staff is so friendly! What a nice dinner on a cold snowy Colorado night. The beef pad see ew is PERFECT, like truly fantastic, I just wish it came in a 9×13 tray so I could eat just this for a week straight lol. The chicken satay was nice too. Really warm and inviting space you should definitely come check out for local Thai food."

Thai Flavor

★★★★☆ 4.1 (504) • $$

"On the outside, this place looks a little run down but the food is pretty good. You see a bunch of awards when you walk in so this was the place to go for Thai food back in the day. I live in Aurora and I never knew it existed. It's located in the plaza right behind the Pacific Ocean Market plaza.The papaya salad was quite good. It was a nice sour salad and a fun way to add in some greens to your meal. If you're ordering the pad Thai, order it with me. I ordered it with veggies and the veggies somehow made it really sweet. Definitely tastes better with either tofu or beef.I would skip on the chai tea. It's pretty average and tastes like a powdered drink. Really sweet."

Karma Asian

★★★★☆ 4 (482) • $$

"Trying to decide where to eat on Broadway is a WHOLE thing. So many options, not enough time. I can't remember why we ended up at Karma, but I'm pretty sure it was because the friend I went with is obsessed with the lychee martinis and spicy edamame. And we really wanted some sort of Asian soup. All the above 100% lived up to the hype!Parking can be a challenge on Broadway, but it's not too bad if you arrive shortly before people get off work, around happy hour time. I think the wait staff became amused by how many orders of spicy edamame we kept putting in... like three, including one to-go. I had a lychee martini, which was strong and not to sweet. Both of us also enjoyed delicious bowls of soup.Would love to come back at least for the lychee martini and edamame! They have a ton of other great menu items I'd love to try, especially since I'm always on the hunt for the best Asian restaurants in Denver. Come here for a date, with friends and family, or by yourself. I found it to be a peaceful (read: not rowdy) experience that was the exact vibe I was looking for."

Tommy's Thai Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.7 (516)

"Best Thai food I have had in Denver so far! Came on a Tuesday evening date night. There were quite a few people in the restaurant and the servers were on top of it. Both were very friendly and brought out the food quick. Cute spot for a dinner date or to even go solo! *Parking is quite challenging though Ordered the springs rolls which were quite unique. Honestly not sure I would get that again, but the shrimp Pad See Yew was to die for! The peanut sauce was also delicious. Didn't quite hit that five stars for me (especially with the sticky table) but I am hoping to come back and try a few more things that hit the five stars! Looking forward to coming back and highly recommend. Overall, 4/5 stars!"

Indochine Cuisine

★★★★☆ 3.9 (464) • $$

"We always love Indochine! The service is incredibly friendly, the environment is pleasant and never too loud - easy to enjoy a conversation with friends. And the food is absolutely fantastic! Our favorites include the Drunken Noodles with beef, the yellow curry and the pineapple curries are both creamy and decadent with perfect flavor, and the sushi - such unique flavor combinations that you don't find elsewhere! We love the Tropic Thunder, Nutty Chicks, and Kona rolls. Don't miss eating here!"

Honey Basil Asian Grill

★★★★☆ 3.5 (529) • $

"A true hole in the wall! I came to Honey Basil on a Saturday night. As soon as I walked in I was greeted and told to choose a sea anywhere in the restaurant. It was a bit slow but I appreciated it :)(I've realized that this place used to be called Spicy Basil but got a new menu and updated to Honey Basil!)We got served water and the server told us about the menu and food since it was our first time. We got recommended the Garlic Pepper Udon which caught my attention! Our server also informed us about their specials, they had buy one get one free on beers. We both got Coors light to enjoy but what a great deal! I was so excited to hear that lol. We ordered: - Spicy Basil Fried Rice: Very delicious and has a good kick of spice with the jalapeños that they add.- Pad See Ew: So yum! Simple but the flavor of this dish was fantastic, just a solid classic!- Lastly, Garlic Pepper Udon, which was absolutely INCREDIBLE! The recommendation sold us and it did not disappoint. Literally every other table around us had ordered this dish too. It's that good!! Trust me. Service was great! Atmosphere was nice. Prices are soo affordable! And the speed of getting served was awesome. I will definitely be back! Perhaps a new regular spot!"

Real Thai

★★★★☆ 4.1 (381) • $$

"Excellent Authentic Thai, This spot has been our go-to for a number of years now I'm just now getting around to getting a review done. I get a sense of soup *azi vibe when ordering over the phone or online, outside of that they know their cuisine well."

Suvipa Thai Food

★★★★☆ 4.3 (341)

"Suvipa makes some seriously good Thai food in the most unassuming of spaces. A small spot in a strip mall it only has a handful of tables but does a great takeout business. The noodles and curries are delicious and the spice levels are legit. Give them a call for takeout or stop in to eat some of the best Thai in Denver!"

Panang Thai Cuisine

★★★★☆ 4 (348)

"This place is great! Love the flavors and friendliness of the staff. Definitely a top place to eat in Lafayette and my go to Thai place. They really excel at the options, with a ton of authentic dishes and real flavor. I love the Summer Rolls, Pad Thai with tofu, and most of all, the Honeydew Boba tea. You can't go wrong with those! They have a ton of boba flavors, so you can try a bit of everything! The peanut sauce is great too, not spicy and sweet instead. Vegetables are fresh and tasty too."

Swing Thai

★★★★☆ 3.6 (387) • $$

"Solid Thai restaurant that's a got a few locations around Denver. It's great for both dining in and takeout, as the food holds up well on the drive home. My favorite is the pad gra pow, which is a more traditional version of my other favorite dish, the Thai fried rice."

Star Thai

★★★★☆ 3.9 (322) • $

J's Noodles & New Thai

★★★★☆ 4.2 (275)

"Wow. I don't even know where to start...This is a diamond in the rough for sure. Literally everything we ate was superb. The restaurant isn't anything special and avoid the restroom but the food is so so so good. We started with peanut satay, wonton soup both mild and spicy, new spring rolls and the owner gifted us some pork wontons. All were so delicious. Very flavorful and made with love. The entrees were all five stars and bursting with flavor. Chicken pad Thai with fresh noodles. Garlic chicken. Masaman curry, was a bit like a Panang curry and probably my favorite thing. Barbecue chicken. This is so much meat and only like $13We also received a selection of dessert items including rice and mango with coconut cream. Gosh, it was delightful and very thoughtful. The owner and her daughter treated us so nicely and it felt so genuine. I would come back here in a heartbeat it's just so damn far from downtown lol."

Hey Bangkok!

"So glad I tried this place for lunch- very authentic flavors and every dish is absolutely delicious. Tried the pad Thai, friend chicken and drunken noodles. Food came out very quickly and bonus is they do have a small parking lot in front!"

The Ginger Pig

★★★★☆ 4.3 (249) • $$

"Too Pig to FailBrainchild of Chef Natascha Hess, who's family heritage couldn't be further from China, but after spending three summer's living abroad with a Chinese family, quickly fell in love with the food, culture, and flavors of the region. And thus, the Ginger Pig was born. Chef Hess has managed to parlay her fantastic cooking into multiple TV appearances (Chopped S54E5 & Beat Bobby Flay S31:E2), as well as recently earning multiple Michelin Bib Gourmand awards, which is given to "...restaurants that our inspectors consider to be the best value for money within our selection."The Good:*Friendly service*Order at the counter and they bring out your meal to you, but no worries they actually pace out the food beautifully. *Beijing Dumplings were unreal and packed with tons of flavor. *Great bar program and local brews on-on-tap *Seems like a silly thing, but their pickled cucumbers were quite tasty. I'd buy a few jars of that to take home. *Chinese BBQ Pork Shoulder (aka Char Siu) was mind-blowingly fantastic. Tender, with a nice crisp exterior and a great char to go with the sweet-heat glaze. 10 out of 10 would definitely order again. *And speaking of mind-blowing, the Hong Kong French Toast was also amazing. The crispy exterior and soft custardy middle was heaven on a plate. Another 10 out of 10--SAVE ROOM AND GET THIS!!The Meh:*Interior is very cramped and there is some tables where you might have to share space with strangers, if that's your bag, baby. *Recently opened new location in Boulder is take-out only. *Wasn't really a fan of the Auntie Zhang's Chinese Noodles, as the glass noodles seemed kinda undercooked and the sauce just seemed to be missing something. Don't get me wrong, it was ai'ight, but just nothing I'd order again. The Ugly:*Parking is a bit of a shit-show as their parking lot holds maybe a half-dozen (properly parked) vehicles, and the street parking is a bit hit-or-miss. Conclusion: We only had time for two meals in our short one-day stay in Denver and Ginger Pig was a fabulous decision. Highly recommended."

Ros Siam

★★★★★ 4.5 (217)

"One of the big sellers for me was the private parking lot. It's a rare find near downtown. The interior and exterior are very cozy and cute and it feels like a family owned establishment. There are a lot of seats as well - both indoors and outdoors. The staff is so kind and attentive. Definitely one of my favorite spots in the area.The food was delicious. Everything we ordered was so good. The Thai tea wasn't overly sweet and didn't taste like a powdered drink. The Tom kha was delicious. I ordered a small soup because I was full but really wanted to try it. So coconutty and fresh. The pad Thai was delicious and wasn't overly cooked with onions and bean sprouts. The moo yang was delicious with the sticky rice. Everything was super tasty. Highly recommend coming here if you're in the mood for some Thai food."

Spicy Basil

★★★★☆ 3.6 (326)

"I've been in a Chinese food desert since moving back to Colorado from San Francisco, Washington, D.C., and Chicago. Especially when it comes to delivery. But now that Whole Foods closes at 9pm, my options are even more limited, if I don't want to cook & want to eat dinner btw 9-10pm.Enter the relentless GrubHub delivery / rating search, which I sometimes corroborate with Yelp. I'd seen Spicy Basil a few times before, but hadn't tried it yet. WOW! Was I impressed tonight!!!! My food was absolutely delicious! I ordered the Royal Chicken and the Tropical Fried Rice, and both were/are phenomenal. I intentionally ordered enough to have leftovers for at least two more meals, and am so happy I did. The food was fresh-tasting, with all the right flavors. It was finally trustworthy, reliable Chinese food.As of now, this is my new go-to! :-)"

Urban Thai

★★★★☆ 3.9 (266) • $$

"The pros:--food is tasty and ingredients seem fresh--ambiance & service The cons:--a little overpriced for the portions (and Thai food in general)--no fresh spring rolls (a Thai staple!)I'd probably give it a 3.5 due to the cost-portion ratio, but the food is good and I understand how hard the last few years have been on restaurants, so rounding up. If you're in the area, it's worth trying, but the prices keep it from being my go-to Thai restaurant in Longmont."

Bangkok Tokyo Asian Fusion

★★★★☆ 3.8 (280) • $$

"This is our go to Asian carry out place. Friendly service and predictable food. Love that they deliver."

Asian Spice

★★★★☆ 4.1 (238) • $$

"Review Update: Starting ordering again from Asian Spice after the COVID years and a major remodeling of the restaurant, and as before did not disappoint. Using the free online app Beyond Menu, I ordered pickup (delivery also available), which provided online updates and was ready right on time.Hot and Sour soup was spiced to the requested level and had the correct consistency expected to this soup. The entrees of Chicken Lo Mein and Roast Duck were both prepared well and were well portioned for takeout. The nice addition to the menu is the options for Roast Duck and BBQ pork, which my order of roast duck was very good. The one drawback of ordering the whole or half duck was the absence of a side of steam rice, which seems to naturally accompany a dish like this.Overall, Asian Spice still is a great place for Asian dishes and will continue to visit the restaurant in the future."

Chada Thai

★★★★☆ 3.8 (276)

Ponsawan Thai Cuisine

★★★★★ 4.5 (196) • $$

"A new day calls for a new Thai restaurant review! I can't stay away and will try any and all Thai restaurants. Ponsawan Thai is a hit for sure and cannot be missed.The service and interior are upscale and very classy. We were treated like royalty and the waitress was so nice. I could also tell that cleanliness is of upmost importance as the interior and restrooms were spotless. Cream Cheese Wontons. Light, airy and slightly crispy just like I like em. They had a good amount of filling and tasted scrumptious.As for the main dishes, Ponsawan serves an actual serving size of food, so it's literally the perfect size for me. I finished my whole meal and didn't have leftovers to take home. Take that as you will.Chicken Green Curry. I've been on a green curry kick and loved every bit of it! The curry sauce was perfection. I just wish there was a bit more bell peppers rather than bamboo shoots.Another great Thai spot for the books!"

Spicy Thai II

★★★★☆ 3.5 (304) • $$

"I'm so torn on how to review my visit at Spicy Thai II a few days ago. Service for sure 5 stars. Food : sushi I would give 3.5, cheese Rangoons 5 stars and then my entre was not what I completely expected. I got Kung Pao Chicken , but got it with steak instead. I would give this dish 1 star. It's not at all like the Kung Paos I've had before. It was tasted like creamy peanut butter as the sauce which was way way way too much. Not sure if it's supposed to taste like that , but I couldn't finish it. I wouldn't let this stop me from going back because of a poor choice on my end."

Tuk Tuk Thai Grill

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (322) • $$

"Had a fantastic dinner date with my DHA group! Honestly I wasn't expecting to have such a great meal from a place you order at the counter and take a number, I was expecting more of a fast food Panda Express type of meal. I was wrong. Yes, the food came out incredibly fast but it was fresh, piping hot and oh so flavorful. The attention to detail like plating with the rice pressed into the shape of a flower was appreciated and just gorgeous. The staff were all very friendly and accommodating for such a large group. Everything was clean in the dining and restroom. I'd definitely stop in again if we're in the area."
