Thai Spoon - Durham

Best Thai place around these opposite and even better than most spots in Raleigh/Cary. does not look like much on the outside and not exceptional for the ambiente, but clean and beautiful to sit inside. the staff is super nice, sometimes a bit overwhelmed, as it seems to be families running. eating is very good, full of taste. best cockshots! we have tried many things on their menu and nothing disappointed. they love the ka proud huh from the midday menu and their tom eas.

I have eaten here several time and I truly believe that this restaurant is one of Durham’s hidden gems!I though it was some of the best Pad Thai I’ve had!Highly recommend!!

We decided to give this place a try on April 20th we walked in around 1:40pm there was absolutely no costumers it was a little concerning but we sat down and dined in anyways. The food was delicious it took a while to get refills but other then that It was really good.

We ordered here for the first time today. The food was decent and prepared as promised. However, they forgot one main dish in our order. As we unpacked our order and all sat down ready for dinner I immediately called the restaurant. A guy answered and I explained the situation. He says ok and there 's a long pause of silence. I say hello? and he proceeds to tell me the food is on the counter with no apology. I explained to him that we have to go back and pick it up and he says, That 's fine. I just hung up on the phone. We did go back to get what was missing but most likely will not be ordering here again. Please learn some customer service, guy!

Let me start by saying I know the owner. He used to be the chef/work at Thai Cafe on University. I say that because I have been a fan for years and supported both restaurants because before now have had excellent food and very good service.I recently patronized Thai Spoon and was extremely disappointed with the service. They were empty but the one woman who was working the table flat out acted like she didn't want us there. She seemed bothered when we asked her questions and was rude in general. When some of the food came out with peanuts (my son has an allergy), I politely tried to get her attention and she looked dead at me and walked in the back. She seemed to struggle with understanding English, which I am fine with and can work through, but don't use that as an excuse to ignore your patrons.This brings me to the food. For the first time ever, the food was sub-par. Barely seasoned, greasy, and what I would expect from a Chinese spot in a mall food court, not from an owner that I know goes out of his way to make sure the food is exceptional and authentic. Overall, a very disappointing experience. We won't be back and more importantly will be spreading the word that this is a restaurant to pass on.
