The Most Delicious Thai in Denver

Chada Thai

★★★★☆ 3.8 (276)

Yolee J

★★★★☆ 3.8 (4)

"Mmmmmmmmmmm, masarap. A previous owner of Lotus Asian Mart has converted the former ChowSun space at Buckley/Kentucky into a similar ode to Filipino and Thai home cooking, and, fittingly, christened it with her nickname - Yolee J.Those seeking plentiful Pinoy pleasures will not leave empty-mouthed, I assure you. Why not try one of my favorite island specialties, Paksiw na Lechon - pork roasted, then simmered in spiced vinegar? Its tangy crispiness is sure to thrill. In a similarly meaty mindframe, Bistek Tagalog takes substantial slices of beef and cooks them in plenty of garlic and citrus juice for a powerful punch of flavor. Or, help yourself to a plateful of Pinakbet. A specialty of Ilocos in the country's far northwest, this characteristic concoction combines vegetables such as Sitaw (long beans), Ampalaya (bittermelon) and - nowadays, but not necessarily historically - Kalabasa (pumpkin) with the indescribably hearty, umami flavor of Bagoong (fermented seafood paste). It may sound overwhelming, but I think you'll love every bite. Which reminds me - I've spent so long on the restaurant's Filipino specialties that I haven't yet touched on the terrific Thai ones. Let's fix that now, shall we?As I'm sure Yolee herself would attest, her eatery has plenty of Siamese specialties on its menu that could be described as "aroy mak mak" (exceptionally delicious). For example, the seafood lovers among you will be captivated by a nice big plate of Khao Pad Bu (crab fried rice). Or maybe a nifty noodle dish is closer to what you had in mind. Well, see what you think of one of the classics - Pad Thai - upgraded with the substitution of Woon Sen (mung bean noodles). (The purists among you will be pleased to know that the original version of the dish is also available here - but of course!). Curry aficionados can definitely get their fill here too, whether your preferences lean more towards red (Gaeng Daeng) or green (Gaeng Keow Wan). Interestingly, the menu even has a small sushi selection to tempt you. But whichever options you choose, you know you have to end your visit with something sweet, so don't forget to save room for a bit of deep-fried purple yam ice cream."

Taste of Thailand

★★★★☆ 4.1 (284) • $$

"We absolute love coming here. Our favorite go to place for comfort home style Thai cooking. Papaya Salad (mild) includes their sticky rice - favorite item on the menu. Light and refreshing, very easy to eat as a meal or share as a appetizer. Spicy level is real here. Mild is still very spicy for me (weak sauce). also don't be fooled by the size of the sticky rice, it can be very filling. Khao Soi - order this - you will not regret it. Also opt for the drumstick (softer more flavorful meat choice). Perfect summer/winter noodle dish. Savoy curry coconut soup noodle dish. Huge kudos to the chef, taste just like how my mom makes hers. Tom Kha - Lemon grass hot and spicy w/ coconut milk veggies and protein. Perfect for cold days. Soup only, does not include noodles. Good for sharing or if you love soup order it. Pad Thai - color, heat and flavor says it all. Well balanced on noodle veggie ratio, not too oily like other places.This place works for the wok magic. The chef and staff are amazing and the food speaks for itself. I'll always be back for more."

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."

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."

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!"

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."

La Mai Thai Kitchen

★★★★☆ 4.4 (124)

"So I was surprised by a couple of things here, first off, the Roti! I'm glad to find it served here. I love this style of pancake. To me, no dipping sauce is even needed. The flake when biting into it is already a major selling point. Secondly, the Tom yum noodle soup is a fusion done right in my opinion. The signature sweet and tangy Thai style soup paired with Vietnamese style pho noodle made this soup bowl sparkle!My friend's vegetables rice plate is boring and our appetizer chicken wing is over fried. All in all, I can only give La Ma Thai an average rating. If a friend wants to come here, I won't say no. Service is friendly and decor is modern. Might be a quieter place to talk compared to the Public Market!"

5 Spices& Pho Asian Cuisine

★★★★★ 4.7 (15)

"We ordered for delivery and it was just lovely. It was delivered on time and everything was still hot, so that was a plus. We're used to restaurants around Westminster where the dishes have similar tastes and aren't anything amazing. We had several different dishes and it was all delicious. We look forward to ordering or eating there again soon."

Tuk Tuk Thai Grill

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (200) • $

East China Asian Cuisine

★★★★☆ 3.9 (170) • $

"Yelpers rated East China Asian Cuisine the #1 Chinese restaurant in Aurora. I had to go see for myself. I don't think it's the best, but it's on par with the rest of the Chinese cuisine restaurants in the area that serve American-style Chinese food. There's nothing that really stands out about the food, although they do offer a few vegan options, as well as a few Vietnamese and Tai dishes. They also have some boba drinks and some flavored iced teas.It's a very simple and quiet restaurant. They have a full bar. Most of their business seems to be take-out and delivery. I had the full cashew chicken dinner, it's about $20 and includes tea, a won ton, an egg roll, a choice of soup, and a choice of rice.The cashew chicken was pretty salty. It was an ample portion that could have easily been split with another person.My dad had the orange chicken dish. It was about $14 and includes a large scoop of steamed rice. It was pretty good, Not too sweet, and yes, an ample portion.The service was efficient and parking was easy. Please support this independently owned restaurant. I have great respect for anyone still making a go of it these days."

Beau Thai

★★★★☆ 4.3 (160) • $$

"We've been craving Thai food for ages but the only local to us restaurant is in Golden and we refuse to patronize that business. We got takeout, see the attached photo of the many dishes we ordered and we loved all of it, it was fresh, hot, and so tasty. Is it real authentic Thai food, don't know, never been there. We ate a lot of Thai when we lived in CA for many years and I believe that was about as close as you'll get to authentic in the states, and for us, Beau Thai was equally tasty.Our $45.00 array of takeout fed 3 and with enough leftovers to feed that many again. Food was ready on time, piping hot and well packaged. We'll be back."

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."

9Thai Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.9 (236) • $$

"Fantastic, reasonably priced, and always quick Thai food. They have solid pad Thai and a really kind staff. This has become one of our go to neighborhood spots."

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."

At Nine Thai

★★★★☆ 4.4 (365) • $$

"We got curbside take out today. First time and will definitely be back, likely in person next time. Was feeling lazy this evening and with lots to do, take out seemed like a great option. We usually do udom Thai but I had heard great things about this place so decided to switch it up. We got level 2 spice cup of Tom Yum, level 3 spice on double beef drunken noodles and spicy basil fried rice. Everything was fantastic. They were even right on time with our food when we pulled up. The Tom yum with tofu was so great and our toddler said not spicy! Happy we found another go to Thai spot nearby."

Aloy Modern Thai

★★★★☆ 4.3 (808) • $$

"Aloy Modern Thai was recommended by a friend and had some good Yelp reviews, so we made a reservation for our party of four. It's a laid back restaurant on a very busy street and we dined inside. We ordered:Fried Egg Rolls $ 9.00Duck Wonton $12.50Corn Fritter: $7.50Siracha Noodle: $20.00Tom Yum Noodle Soup: $20.00Pad See Eew: $20.00Pad Thai: $20.00The appetizers were excellent, the corn fritters were crispy outside and soft and tasty inside. The Duck Wonton was nicely prepared and also tasty. My Pad See Eew was perfectly cooked, moist with wide tender noodles, a nicely executed dish. We'd be happy to return here!"

Thai Bite Of Fusion

★★★★☆ 3.7 (128) • $

"I stopped by Thai Bite of Fusion after attending an expo in Aurora. Our group was looking for something delicious with gluten free options. We got our heads stuck on Thai food and stumbled upon this place. It was quiet when we arrived on a Saturday afternoon. We were the only people there for awhile, but that didn't stop the server from being very attentive to us either. We were able to sit at a four top table to take everything in.I had a wonderful Thai tea to start my meal before diving into my Pad Thai. I think I went a little too conservatively with my spice level though. I usually stay mild until I can feel out a place since some place skew hotter than others. Overall, I still enjoyed it and would come back in the future if I'm in the area!"

Ubon Thai

★★★★☆ 4.4 (33)

"Some of the best Thai I can ever remember having honestly. The drunken noodles with pork had tender pork meat , a perfect sweet, savory, and spicy balance. The red curry was creamy to perfection with the right level of spice. A must visit!"

My Thai Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.3 (119)

"Note this place is located in a not so nice area and their parking lot is in the back of the restaurant. The parking lot on the side is for Federal Restaurant and they apparently do try to tow if you're not a customer.The interior has an odd layout but is nicely decorated and clean. It is a family owned restaurant. The owners are very nice and their kids are cute.I got a medium spicy chicken pad thai. It had a really nice kick to it, I was sniffing a lot. But it was VERY flavorful. I loved it! Portion was just right.My friend got the drunken noodles and said it was super tasty but the portion was small for him. The pad thai was definitely more flavorful. I would definitely come again - the food was delicious!"

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! :-)"

Swing Thai

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (262) • $$

"This particular location I'm featuring today opened in 2016. Which is their third location. Since then many have tried to duplicate them. It's a local family affair. At Swing Thai got its name from Thailand's 98-foot swing. The swing represents the importance of collaboration powered by people.I love all the dishes we've tried. From their appetizer crab meat and cheese fried wonton & Chicken Satay. Standard appetizer but it's tasty. What else can you ask for? The Papaya Salad for me has to have a requisite heat to it. And that mouth-puckering taste to it. Yup. Check! The Chicken Tom Kha and Shrimp Tom Yum are all outstanding! And loaded! Now their Chicken Khao Soy is so rich and flavorful. Their bbq Thai herb chicken was so wonderfully embedded with seasoning. Or drop in for a cocktail or two! Their Mango Mojito and Thai Martini are wonderful! This side of town is your hangout? Give these guys a try! Support a really good restaurant owned by a local! First time I met this husband & wife team Jay & Siriporn was in 2020 in their other restaurant heybangkok which opened in 1998. It is a concept restaurant of which is dedicated to Thai street food. Of which I'm also a fan. Their second restaurant is located on Colorado Blvd which opened in 2000. Also called Swing Thai.Just so you know- this is a total casual date spot:)"

Truly Asia Broomfield

★★★★☆ 4.2 (107)

"Not impressed to be honest! Came here to try tonight being new in town and walking in I was impressed how nice and clean it was inside with very modern Asian flair. Got seated right away because we were the only people there. A few turn offs were the lady constantly sweeping the restaurant including user our feet and table while we were seated. Food was very Panda Express tasting and was not very impressive. We had the Mongolian Beef, Orange Chicken, Pork fried rice and chicken pad thai. Food was edible but not very impressed at all. Won't be hurrying back that's for sure."

Thai Basil Denver

★★★☆☆ 2.9 (325) • $$

"I ordered from here through Uber eats. After I ordered though I looked up on Yelp & was worried about the low star review. I ordered chicken pad Thai with added vegetables, I asked for broccoli & carrots. When I received my order it was still hot & fresh. This is my favorite type of pad Thai, not too sweet & just the right amount of sauce. So I have to say I was pleasantly surprised & would order from here again!"

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!"

Egg Roll King

★★★★☆ 3.9 (178) • $

"We've ordered delivery from Egg Roll King two or three times a year for the last decade and a half, and always on Thanksgiving Eve. The delivery times are consistently faster than what they state on the phone, the drivers are always very pleasant, and the food is fantastic every time.My wife and I invariably get the "Family Style Dinner" with each one's choice of entree, an appetizer sampler, hot and sour soup and extra mustard for dipping our appetizers in. Sometimes we'll add some sushi. The portion sizes are large enough that we have leftover Chinese food to rotate with the leftover Thanksgiving fixings every year.I've only ever eaten in the restaurant once, many years ago. I remember it being pleasant with good service.I'm sure we'll continue to get delivery on occasion from this great little place as long as we live in the area and the restaurant remains open."

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!!"

Daughter Thai Kitchen & Bar

★★★★☆ 4.3 (545) • $$

"Came here for a casual birthday dinner with my boyfriend. It has been on our list for a while. We walked right in on a Sunday, late afternoon and were seated immediately. We were sharing a few items because family style seemed like the way to go. Random people would bring out food and drinks which was nice to see as we never ran out of water or were looking for someone when we needed something. We ordered as a starter the coconut shrimp, and Chicken Satay/ Shrimp Pad Se Ew as our main with a side of white rice and peanut sauce. The food was really delicious. We enjoyed everything that we ordered. It was the perfect amount for two people and we had a small to go box with leftovers, enough for a small snack later. However, those three items cost over $100. I did take off one start because the prices were a bit much, all around $5-$10 overpriced for fairly small portions. I know it's rare to find good Thai in Colorado but $30 for Pad Se Ew is outrageous. $16 with maybe $5 more for protein is still above average. Honestly the food was good, but the prices would keep me from being a regular and coming back. Either lower the prices by $2-10 or make the portion sizes bigger. Overall, 3.5/5 stars"

"Excellent Panang curry! Quick service, good food, and they'll deliver via Uber. The inside is ok and not a place you'd want to take a date. But I'm going for the food and you should too"

Thai me up

★★★★☆ 4.4 (37)

"Delicious Thai food at this little restaurant near Pindustry and Carerra's tacos. I got the massaman curry with chicken which had very delicious flavors. The carrots were particularly amazing to me. Great flavors! I also had their raspberry basil lemonade which was very tasty and refreshing. Will be back next time I'm in the area."
