Good food, great value! If you're looking for solid pho noodle soup or takeout Thai, this is a good bet

The restaurant was immaculate and nicely decorated. There was seating for maybe 40, so not loud or overly crowded. I ordered the Pad Thai and it was like no other pad Thai I have ever had. No taste of peanuts at all and the noodles were mushy. It wasn't bad, just not what I am used to. The fried tofu was the best part. My husband had fried rice with chicken which he said was good but bland. Service was fast and friendly. I gave it four stars because I think my comments are more about my expectations than the food.

Red chicken curry is their standout dish. Great service, and good prices. Very cozy ambiance with cool decor.

I'll never ever find another place as good as Thai cafe. I've been coming here with my parents for 20+ years. Love the relationship we've built with the staff they are such lovely people. You can't go wrong with anything in the menu. Whether you get curry, noodle soup, or any noodle dish you'll love it. The fried tofu, crispy friend spring rolls and fresh spring rolls are to die for. Love their dried chili flakes too. Any time I'm in Harrisonburg this is a must go to spot!

The best Thai in Harrisonburg for the money. We get take out often. Owner is thoughtful and cares.

**VEGAN REVIEW** Great tasting food, large portions, fast service, and good prices. I know this looks like this was written by the owners, but it's true. Passing through on vacation and it's a mile from Candlewood Suites. So the location is good, too. Drunken noodle, and green curry were our main courses. For appetizers we had fried tofu and spring rolls.

Pad Radna so good!! We live an hour away. but we come to Harrisonburg once in a while to be here. Our favorite place
