Cafe De Thai

I hate to write anything negative about a local restaurant but I want people to know the experience I had to warn them. the service was great but the food was awful. I lived in Thailand for two years and this food was not Thai. I ordered yellow curry and it looked like beef stroganoff and tasted poor. When I ate it I thought I would get food poisoning and I was right, I have terrible food poisoning and nausea after eating there. It was also kind of expensive for what I got. Would not recommend eating here if you you want Thai food.

First time I ordered I was drunk and I loved it. Today I tried again with their vegetable curry and that was not curry it was steamed vegetables. It’s so shady they don’t have a phone number. I couldn’t understand why would they have a desert listed as vegan but there’s no more info info or reassurance into their other vegan dishes. I asked to make my food vegan in the description but they put egg on it. I just came here to read all the bad reviews about the curry and I’m feeling nauseous.

We sat outside which was cute and near Virginia street so you can hear and see all the hustle and bustle. We had to stop the waitress to order. We ordered coconut shrimp as an appetizer. The flavor was good but it only came with 5 shrimp and a giant side salad for $13. We ordered 3 main dishes for 3 people (~$16/ea). One came out promptly. The other two were almost 10 min later so we had to watch each other eat. The food was okay. The flavors are there but muted. Everything came out in swimming sauces that looked like they were sitting under a heat lamp. Rice is extra ($2). I want this place to succeed but they need to work on proportions, presentation, service and pumping up the flavor especially for the price.
