Thai Station Restaurant

Food was delicious. Portion sizes are very filling. Amazing ambiance!! The only downside is that service gets a bit slow during busy hours. 4.5 stars!

This restaurant is located in an old train station that used to serve the Carborro area (and UNC students). The bathroom and some of the seating is located in a train car and has train-related decor. It's a very cute aesthetic and concept (and a perfect name to go with the theme) - but it's not overwhelming or over the top. The perfect amount of decorations regarding trains without being gimmicky. I ordered the duck noodle soup and a thai iced tea. The thai ice tea was served in a very large glass and the soup came in a large bowl - the serving size was plentiful. The broth in the soup was excellent - and the duck well cooked (tender and flavorable). Would highly recommend the dish.

It was a very good meal. The ambience was great. We had our meal in one of the boxcars. They were a little understaffed, but the server put in serious effort to hold it all together. The meal came out quickly and was very tasty.

Thai Station is definitely a new favorite for me! I pass this place often as it's right next to my office. They achieved a fun look on the exterior, transition to a calm and lovely interior. It's certainly eye catching. I was just here for a quick lunch in between meetings and yet I was taking pictures like I was on vacation. Inside there was a bit of a wait to be seated. I saw a sign familiar to our times - something like "please be patient, we are short staffed. Be kind to those that showed up." That's fine by me. The staff and service that I received was great!If memory serves, there are two train cars, an outside patio and a middle area in between the two cars. Every spot is decorated nicely. I am seated in a booth on a train car and I love it. The window looks out to a train track and I'm transported in my mind. The menu contains the usual, pad Thai, fried rice, delicious soups, and they also have specials. I go for cashew nut with beef. It came with a fresh small salad with a peanut dressing and some crispy puffs (sorry I don't know what they are called). The lunch entree was a good size, served with rice. It came fairly quickly, as I had prepared again to perhaps wait awhile. Pricing was very fair, I almost thought I got the wrong bill!Hearing some conversations around me I can tell this is a local favorite. It's no wonder - I have zero complaints and will absolutely be back. I think dinner here would be amazing!

This place never disappoints. Amazing food and a really fun atmosphere. We eat here at least once a week, and always try to sample something different.

What a little hidden gem. I think what intrigued me was the parts of the train that creates this restaurant. You feel as though you are actually sitting in a train! The food was fabulous and flavorful. We got a mix of tofu panang curry, soups, stuffed crab spring rolls. Reasonably priced and more importantly it's not often too get good food/ service and ambiance all in one!

The food was authentic and very tasty. They have a homemade peanut salad dressing that is to die for. Definitely try one of there flavorable curries. You won't regret it

Our first time in this restaurant and the decor definitely blew me away. The interior, and train seating areas are so cute, so if you're looking for a vibe, definitely check this place out. As for the food, I think the only good item was the complementary salad, chips, and drunken noodles. I'm not used to drunken noodles being this sweet, so I can't imagine how sweet their pad-see-ew is. I still thought the noodle texture was good and the highlight of the dish was definitely the fried tofu! I got mild and it wasn't spicy at all so I just asked for extra chili powder and it was perfect. The extra shrimp of $2 more came with 3 shrimps ... lol. The soups that we got were wayyyy too sweet. Definitely won't be ordering it again. The protein was fine and the broth was earthy, but the overly sweet broth was not enjoyable. I would still come back and try other non-noodle soup dishes. Taste: 3/5Presentation: 4/5Recommend to a friend?: mehh... for some dishes, but not recommending this place with much enthusiasm. Consistent: 1st time Cost: $$Parking: there is a huge parking complex but it's very crowded. Best to be patient for a parking spot.

Really flavorful food, but really slow service. It was a busy Friday night which contributed to the slow wait times, but they are also most definitely understaffed. There were only 3-4 waiters/waitresses running around and taking care of the whole restaurant. I felt bad for them because they couldn't catch a break. We waited at the front for around 20 mins and then got seated promptly. Overall, we waited an hour for our food to arrive. I was getting a little hangry and agitated, but knew it wasn't the waitress's fault. I got the green curry which was packed with spices and flavor! It was a reasonable spice level too. In the picture it looks like not a lot, but trust me they give you a good amount of chicken and vegetables! I would come here again, but maybe not during rush hour.

Best Thai food I have had. Super atmosphere and great service. If coconut cake is there it's a must have. Tonight we tried "W"s coconut ice cream. They need to serve by the gallon!!!! KP always takes great care of us. Thank you as always C
