We typically order carry out from Tom Kha and are always so impressed. I especially enjoy the yellow curry, drunken noodles, and broccoli chicken. Everything we eat there has a lot of flavor and the portions are generous.

Apple Maps said that the closing time for the restaurant would close a half hour later (10 pm) than it actually closed at 9:30pm. When we arrived at 8:40 we were concerned we wouldn’t get to enjoy dinner due to our time of arrival. But the host/waiter Yuki gave us a table and quickly put in our order. She asked us how spicy we would like our dishes on a scale of 1-5. Enjoying spicy foods, I went with a 5 for my Spicy Basil Noodle Grouper. It was absolutely remarkable. As one who isn’t particularly impressed with most dishes, I have to say the food here was amazing. I could thoroughly enjoy the spiciness of the dish without sacrificing flavor. The cooks did an amazing job and Yuki was so kind and took excellent care of us. I would definitely rank this as one of my top 10 restaurants I’ve ever been to. Thank you so much for the dinner and service this evening.

Got pad Thai and calamari delivered. Pad Thai smelled and tasted like dog food. Noodles were not fully cooked. Calamari was barely cooked. Essentially raw. Will never order from here again. Awful.

This is a cute, clean little spot in a great location on the edge of old town. None of the staff when we came were Thai (American and Chinese). You can usually be fairly sure you won’t be getting very authentic Thai if the staff aren’t Thai (although I never saw who was in the kitchen), but if there were any questions bringing the Pad Thai out with chopsticks and giving us fortune cookies after our meal confirmed this is not authentic. Overall the service was good but we were underwhelmed by the food. Since tom kha soup is one of my favorite foods I was really excited to try theirs.
Sadly the tom kha soup was by far the most disappointing part of our meal. It was really bland, almost like they forgot something. If I’m guessing it probably had too little or zero fish sauce. I am also never a fan of putting tomatoes in Tom Kha, but that doesn’t really affect the taste.
The chicken satay was pretty standard, the peanut sauce was nice and thick.
Cream cheese wontons were really runny and lacking flavor, but as they aren’t a traditional Thai dish I wouldn’t knock them for that.
The Pad Thai was pretty good. Level 5 had decent heat, although I’m not sure I’d consider it Thai hot. The noodles were a little undercooked but overall we enjoyed it and would give it another shot.

Our favorite Thai food if Fort Collins. Healthy and flavorful food with a large menu. We have tried a lot of food on the menu and have never been disappointed! The lettuce wraps are amazing. We eat here several times per month. The atmosphere is light and clean and the staff is very friendly. Highly recommend!

A good solid Thai place. I got the mussels panang curry and spring rolls. Spring rolls came out at the same time as the entree and took quite a while to get them. Service was slow and placing people right next to each other when the entire restaurant was empty was not good service.

They’re hardly any vegetables in the street noodle dish, or chicken mostly pasta noodles. The Thai cashew roasted burnt or they added chipotle peppers… only a couple cashews. Not at all as expected. Half the ingredients mentioned in description were not included in the dish. Didn’t taste like Thai at all. More

We entered into a completely empty restaurant. And the staff member was kind enough to serve us outside. It was a pretty day. Portions are a tad small, but understandably so for the area and the price. We personally did not like the soup that came with the combination. Iced thai tea either had very little milk or no milk at all. I personally enjoy it with all milk. It just tasted like sweet water. At least the parking around the corner was free 🤷🏻♀️

We went based on so many great reviews. Atmosphere is ok- a little sparse. Prices are good. Service was good. The food was pretty good, but both of our meals (House fried rice and Kung Pao noodles) were REALLY salty. REALLY salty.
We are glad we tried this place, but not sure if we will be back.

What an amazing experience. The food was excellent. The restaurant was spotless, service was attentive and on point. If you like fresh Thai dishes you have to give this place a try.
Drinks:
Blueberry Mojito
Appetizers:
Fried Oysters, (out of this world fresh)
Rolled in bread crumbs fried to a delicious golden brown. This is excellent for a first-time oyster experience, served with wasabi dipping sauce
Coconut Shrimp, (Very meaty shrimp)
Crispy shrimp tossed in coconut, served with sweet chill orange dip.
Gra Pow,
This is a very spicy and delicious home style stir fry. Minced chicken breast sauteed in a spicy garlic.
Khao Soi Thai
Creamy curry noodles, topped with carrots, bean sprouts, cilantro, fried shallots and cabbage, very mild spicy.
Dessert:
Coconut Ice Cream
Final thoughts,
The cleanliness of the restaurant just amazed us. The bathrooms just as nice. We will be back to try more of the menu very soon.
