Cafe De Thai

This place is really not good. I have had food before that I didn’t like and was disappointed with, but this is by far the worst. I don’t like to leave bad reviews but this was the worst food I have ordered and am so disappointed that we paid $40 for a meal we couldn’t even eat.nnOur experience started off bad right off the bat. I don’t really like meat or tofu in my curry. They have a vegetable curry for 9.95. My boyfriend ordered and asked if they could replace the tofu with some more vegetables and they said yes. After we paid we realized that they charged us $13.95 for my dish because of that??? The MEAT curry that comes with a choice of PROTEIN is 12.95. How is my “extra vegetable” curry more expensive that that? Especially when considering I didn’t get tofu? That was whack.nnMy boyfriend got the basil chicken and literally could not eat it because it was so salty. I’m not kidding you this dish was literally inedible. If you think top ramen has a lot of sodium, it’s no where near the amount as the basil chicken.nnRice does NOT come included with the meal so we ordered it on the side. When our meals came out, the rice was already in the curry. We get Thai a lot and never have I gotten my curry with rice in it. I like to add how much I want to, and I like to be able to take it home for leftovers (not that we wanted to take this home anyway).nnMy “extra vegetable” curry came with a basic amount of vegetables so I don’t know what I paid an extra $4 but on top of that, the vegetables are SO WEIRD. My curry came with full mushrooms, they weren’t even sliced. And full on cherry tomatoes. Who puts a cherry tomato into a curry. It was a cold tomato in hot curry. What?nnOur experience was a disaster. Spend your $40+ literally anywhere else (thai lotus is our fave). I would pick frozen Thai food from Trader Joe’s over this.

I like their basil chicken with ground chicken. Really authentic served over egg omellete with rice ($2 dollars. Their Tiger Brown boba is a bomb and good hit with their spicy curry.

Best Thai food in town. Their panang curry chicken is fabulous with corn fritters combo. Their portion is huge and served in paper togo box for takeout.

I love bobas, of course from my nick name above. Their selective boba menu is smart and easy to order. All items are hand-crafted and fresh in season. I love their tiger brown boba - not too sweet and their coconut cake. The server is helpful and friendly with his knowledge about Thai food. Thanks Reno.

Absolutely wonderful. Food and service both top notch. One of the many treasures of Midtown.
