Great staff, quick to be seated. Food was good, above average for Thai, chilli available from 0 up to 100+. Definitely worth checking out

We decided to try this place instead of our usual Thai place. While different, it didn't disappoint. Our service started off really strong. The girl informed us of their spice scale, which ranges from 0-100! 0-5 is basically zero spice. We started off with the Thai chicken wings which were AMAZING. Best part of the meal. They came out so incredibly fresh and hot. Then, This white girl got the pad Thai at an eight and it was perfectly spicy. The sauce had a nice sweetness to it. It was some decent pad Thai. The boyfriend tried the Panang Curry at an 8 level spice also. We loved the consistency of the broth and the coconut flavor was perfect. Chicken was alright. I would omit the carrots from the dish personally. Lastly, we finished with the Thai custard and sticky rice. I really enjoyed the two together, not so much the custard on its own. It's a unique consistency. The only downside was that our service really lacked towards the end. Our waitress was a little more focused on doing her sidework. I waited for almost 5 minutes for a refill while she rolled silverware): but would definitely still come back!

It was good - just nothing extraordinary. We came with a group of four. They were busy but it took maybe 5 mins to sit us down. The customers service was great. My food was warm... Not hot, which makes me think they finished mine first and let it sit while the rest of my parties was done cooking. The Thai iced tea, also nothing special. I would go back if i was in the area and hungry... But I wouldn't go out of my way to eat there.

Best time to go is during lunch 11-3pm where you can get a small appetizer with your meal for about 10 bucks. My favorite here is the pad see ewe pan fried noodles, which ever good Thai restaurant should have. The best thing about this place is their spice scale that goes from 1-50! I hate when you go to a Thai restaurant and get their Thai hot and its not spicy at all. I like spicy food and I've ventured to 15 which gave me good sweat during the meal and it was delicious! I am not so fond of the curry or stir fried but that may be subjective.

We've tried Thai Pot numerous times since I'm a huge thai food fan. The flavor of the food here is great: love the drunken noodles and Thai Pot Special stir fry is yummy too. Four stars for the food. Unfortunately the portions are just tiny. Dinner is about $11--$13 per dish. After 2 apps, soup and 3 main dishes, three of us left still hungry. They do have a lunch special menu for about $9--$11 (the drunken noodle portion was decent but the stir fry portions are so small!) My husband's dish was literally like 10 bites of food. They also charged an extra dollar to add in broccoli... which is totally cool to charge for extra add ons but it was like 4 pieces of broccoli. Service is hit and miss. Sometimes super friendly and sometimes not very attentive at all. This would be my go to place if their portions weren't tiny. :( Don't think we'll be back anymore. The hunt for good Thai food continues...

Ok - i really want to love this place bc there needs to be some better options for really good thai, but like most places in town, it completely falls short on flavor. Pad Thai is some of the blandest I've had and when you ask for spicy ---Im not sure they add anything. I had to dowse mine with red pepper flakes. I will give it a few more tries, but for now, I'm underwhelmed.

I've been a longtime fan of Thai Pot. I think the food is among the best of the rather mediocre Thai food scene here in Denver, and they had pleasant and caring staff. However that has all changed recently as the kitchen delays became unpredictable and often we were waiting 30 minutes even when the restaurant wasn't full. Even worse, they fired their best staff that we'd come to know and love, replacing them with a merry go round of usually harried, inexperienced staff. Firing their best staff was a dumb move, since I feel uncomfortable going to a place that doesn't take care of their best staff. I even heard rumors that they aren't paying their kitchen staff overtime. I'd give one star for the bad management, but the good food merits another star.

Matthew T.
BOMB! The service was great and the restaurant was clean. Even better the food is consistently great. Only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because their Thai Hot (hot rating) is not very hot. Every time I have been I order the TOM YUM (Thai Hot & Sour Soup), and the PAD NAM PRIK PAW (Spicy Saucy Delight). Both are amazing.

I have been here for lunch a few times now. The place is extremely popular, and frequently gets full well before noon. I have tried the curries, the soups, and the drunken noodles as well. I also have tasted the egg rolls and crab rangoon. My overall impression is good quality Thai food with an emphasis on extra veggies. Sometimes I encounter a couple things in the dishes that seem superfluous (like extra eggplant or crunchy green beans), but it all tastes good. The heat scale here goes from one to 10, and seems less punishingly face-melting than what you might encounter at other places. I think you need to get a least a four if you want to feel anything. The prices here are not outrageous, but neither are they especially cheap. However, it seems like you get good value for your dollar. Service is generally good, but tends to bog down (not surprisingly) as they approach full capacity. I have not had occasion to come by later in the afternoon to try happy hour yet. But, with the 1/2 priced beers and other specials, it is definitely on my to do list.

Terrible service! If you go be prepared to sit and wait and wait and wait only to have your meal arrive wrong. A girlfriend and I came here for dinner on a Thursday night and we were sat and waited probably 15 minutes before we were greeted and given with water, we then waited for our glasses wine for quite a long time (convinced the waiter forgot about them until we asked about them) then finished our glasses of wine and would have loved to order another but our waiter never came! Finally our food came and it was wrong (one dish included beef for avid vegetarians) and one came with rice when we asked for noodles. We waited again for our food with empty wine (and water!) glasses. I mentioned the poor service to a front of house manager and he told me to email someone and there was nothing he would/could do. Nothing on our bill was comped. If you go, be prepared to wait forever for your food (with no beverages) and then have it be wrong upon arrival.

Took my girlfriend to try out this spot and let's just say by the end, she was a very happy camper! Everything food wise was absolutely delightful! We started with the sampler platter that was perfect to try the majority of the appetizer options. We then shared the pad Thai and the green curry, both at the spiciest level they had ( I love a meal with some heat), and although I could have done with more spice, the quality and taste of both entrees were really on point. Some of the better Thai food I have had in quite some time! Now onto the service. Our waitress was very personable and funny but the service was slow, which I blame more on the restaurant being new more than anything else. My only real complaint was the bar and cocktails we ordered. We ordered saki bombs expecting a full thing of saki and a full beer but instead only received a half a cup of beer and a single saki shot. I would have not been upset if we were charged appropriately for the quantity but we were charged 8 dollars for each. Extremely pricey compared to other comparable restaurants. We also ordered a Moscow mule that was watered down and also overpriced. I would recommend sticking to wine or beer with your meal as their cocktail options are not worth it. Again I have to reiterate how great the food was but because of the slower service and poor cocktails I have to give this establishment only 3 stars. I have no doubt in my mind that a couple months down the road, when the establishment has more experience and better organizes the full dining experience they will be a 5 star establishment! Even though I have some minor complaints I would still recommend anyone to dine at this restaurant purely based on the yumminess of the food!

Love this place! I've been coming for years and it's always consistent, great food and good customer service! They must be doing something right, they have quadrupled their space since moving a bit further south on Colorado. The chicken pad thai and the spicy chicken and rice soup are fantastic!

Visiting from out of town and ordered some egg rolls and veggie pad woon sen for take out. Egg rolls and sauce were fantastic. Pad woon sen was also very good. I asked for extra spicy and the order taker questioned me about it and after my persistence said he would make it "thai spicy level 50" whatever that means. It was well spiced though. More so than I usually get so that was appreciated. Only thing I would change is probably no eggplants in the Pad woon sen. I ended up picking those out as the texture wasn't great. But there were plenty of other veggies so it was a nice as a vegetarian meal instead of being almost all noodles like some other places make their veggie noodle dishes. I'd come back again next time I am in town.

Briana B.
I don't have a high spice tolerance, so I ordered my noodle soup at a 2 (out of 5 on spiciness). It was bland even for my taste. Had to add about a tablespoon of sriracha! They didn't even provide any sides for the soup like most places do (basil, jalapeños, cilantro, etc.). I had the veggies in the soup and they were strange (green beans in pho??). My husband's drunken noodles were also bland and lacking in flavor. The veggies were very fresh, however.

First, I want to say that I have loved Thai Pot for a long time. When my husband and I moved to Texas for a short stint I missed Thai Pot more than any other restaurant in the city. We've been at least a dozen times since we came back last year, but this time made me rethink my devotion. We were seated by a hostess, who wasn't very cordial but whatever. However, she sat us at a two top and that's normal but to be honest, I had a tiring day at work and I just wanted to relax and spread out a little. My husband asked if we could be moved to a booth for more space and she rolled her eyes and signed heavily saying, "we are seating the tables by the numbers." I would be more understanding if the place was busy, but there were only 4 or 5 tables filled. So we decided that instead of being uncomfortable at a very small table we would go elsewhere. So we went to Silvi's down Colorado Blvd and we were seated where we liked and had a very nice experience! People who work at restaurants should approach their patrons like they all 1) have a backbone and 2) work, or have worked, in the service industry and know that crap is ridiculous.

Love this place! I love the Basil fried rice and pad se ewe. Always tastes great and best thai I've had I town. Seriously. My only complaint is that they continue to use styrofoam for take out. Wish they'd have a more sustainable outlook and pay whatever out took to be more green.

Been coming to this place for years before they moved to their new (current) location. The pad see ew is wonderful, and their appetizers are simple but great. I'm glad they were able to upgrade to a bigger place. I recommend coming here if you want good authentic tasting Thai food.

Niles W.
I don't know who is doing the cooking, but it is pretty bland for Thai food. Their idea of spicy is pretty gravy. Next, the portions have been very, very small for what you pay compared to other Thai restaurants. Come on, vegetables are not that expensive. Dishes are consistently too much rice and not enough of the actual dish. This has been our experience on both dine in and take out. The take out containers are really lacking, but probably that way because of the kiddie portions. Save your money, go somewhere else. We live close and after a number of tries will simply not go back.

Success can hurt a business as quickly as failure can. My last review said the place was crowded. It was crowded on my second visit as well....and I don't think they can handle that kind of crowd. I previously said "Damned good food." This time the food was so-so. Not bad, but very far from great. Here is the main point: I found a piece of cotton string about 18 inches long in with my noodles. It took quite a while to get the attention of any wait personnel. When one did come, I indicated the dish and said, "send this back to the kitchen." He took the string and disappeared. The noodle dish sat there. After that he avoided my gaze and didn't reappear until I made a bit of a fuss. From there on in I was treated as if I were some kind of annoyance. The manager appeared and was a bit chilly in her apology. I got a fresh dish of noodles, but the evening was definitely ruined in spirit. AND....a classier joint would have comped the whole meal. This place took the price of the entree off my check. OK, better than nothing. There are better Thai places in the area. This place thinks the big crowd is automatic and the staff no longer has to try hard....or even be cordial.

I'll give you 5 stars because it's wrong to lower a review based on recent events, but recently thai pot has had a lot of turnover in their staff and it's been taking a toll on their service. My boyfriend and I love everyone there and we understand that its difficult to train new employees, but we've had our order done wrong 3 times in the last month. Mostly over the phone orders. Once we ordered carry out and my boyfriend is allergic to shrimp and it wasnt until we got home did we discover our dumplings were shrimp and not pork. Never had that problem before and have been coming here for a year since we moved. Again, great thai food when the order is correct. So much turn-over though. Familiar voice and face go a long way. Also, talking bad about other employees so loudly that I can hear you at the bar is just poor taste. Great thai food, but please pick up your service a bit. We stay loyal because you cant beat the food, but the rudeness and unprofessional behavior will cause you to lose other business.

Thai Pot Cafe has been our family's favorite restaurant since we happened upon it when it was still in the old location. The food is consistently excellent. We are sad about the staff turnover since the new location as we liked recognizing our servers. However, the food hasn't suffered. The Pad Kee Mao is so good I have to eat the entire plate. The green curry is also excellent as is the Pad Thai.
(5)
Noel W.
First off, the vegetable egg rolls are awesome, particularly when paired w/ the cashew duck sauce they serve it with. I got the Pad Khing, a ginger dish with perfectly cooked vegetables, crunchy, not mushy. You select your spice level so this being my 1st time, I selected level 4 which turned out to be just right although I'll probably try a level 5 next time. The Thai Iced Tea was also good but if you like your Thai Tea sweet, you'll be slightly disappointed. Finally, the service is good provided you're not expecting sit-down fast-food quickness. I'm definitely looking forward to my next visit.

Wouldn't seat me! Had 2 tables leave while I waited by the door and finally came and told me that they are really busy for lunch and that I would have to wait until someone at the bar left since I was having lunch as a party of 1! She even was kind of enough to tell me that her boss is there today and she didn't want to get in trouble for seating me at a 4 top! I have plenty of time and am leaving this tip and review from my car at 12:47pm while I look for another Thai restaurant in the area. Not a good start Thai Pot Cafe!

This is good Thai food that is reasonably priced. Service was slow the first time, but the next four times it has been excellent. Thai Pot Cafe has become our go to restaurant on the weekend when we want Thai comfort food.

Wow, talk about an Extreme Makeover. At least cosmetically speaking. Thai Pot has been an old favorite of mine in the neighborhood. The original place as a "hole in the wall" Thai spot. I recently was craving some Thai and looked all over for it, decided to Yelp the phone number... turns out the moved a month ago. The new location is in the hip new strip mall with Yogurtland 2 blocks north of the old location. It's 3 times larger, the interior is spacious, contemporary decor, and well-staffed with very friendly, eager service. A definitely improvement which is why it is PACKED at lunch. The best part is... the recipes are the same! Yay. My all time menu favorite is Pad Woon Sen (clear rice noddle). I ordered a 6 out of 7 for spice... and I have to say... 6 is pretty weak. I'll have to ask for a 10 out of 7 next time, my "Thai-ger blood" requires more heat. Will be back soon.

Ordered panang curry. Came with zero peanut flavor. Also, their tofu is fried, which some customers might like. I don't. Their spice scale is 0-4 for gringo and Thai hot starts at 5 and tops at 10. I ordered 5 and my son 8. We both wound up having to add chili powder. Which I guess is safer from the restaurants point of view. In short, I'm going home still hungry :(

This is my favorite restaurant in Denver, and the best Thai I've ever had. The food is consistently delicious, and I've tried at least half of what they have on the menu. Also, there's never a wait, the service is excellent, and the ambiance of the space is really nice. My favorite menu items are the crab rangoons, tom kha soup, and pad woon sen. You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu.

Thai food is one of my favorites and very few places outside of Thailand have real Thai food. Most serve an Americanized version of traditional dishes. This is not to say they are bad, but they are quite different. Thai Pot Cafe is one of these places. It will do well, as the atmosphere is nice, decor contemporary, good location and they have Happy Hour 1/2 price specials. The food is about average for American Thai cuisine, spices are tamed down, even when spicy is requested. I continue to try many Thai food places they are all good with some being better (I do have my GO TO favorite). So, give this one a try, you may find it likable for a pleasant meal. It was noted that the picture of the King was no where to be found.....unusual for a Thai restaurant.

Thai Pot Cafe has officially moved locations. A little bit further down Colorado Blvd. close to the Black Eyed Pea, Thai Pot Cafe is located towards the back by that new Mooyah Burger place I have yet to try. I can't comment on the inside of the location since I sat in the warm car while take out was being picked up. I'm a princess and I know it. (It's hard to leave a toasty butt warmer) The order included steamed dumplings, Panang Curry with Chicken and an order of Drunken Noodles with Chicken. The dumplings were pretty standard, the sauce was a little different, I believe it was a sesame based sauce. The Panang Curry was on the thin side for me, it felt diluted in some way. The flavor was still there and it was enjoyable. I like a little more creamy texture to my curry, I think that means more coconut milk. Yes please! The Drunken Noodles were top notch, wide rice noodles with veggies and some addicting spice blend that makes me want to lick the take out dish. Thai Pot moves down a notch for me for customer service. I was not able to eat at the old location, because no one would answer the phone to take my to go order. No lie, I tried 10 separate times to call and order and no one answered. Not because of busy lines or line but because no one would answer. At the new location (same number), I tried 4 times before I got someone who took my order. If a place is going to commit to offering take out I would hope they have enough people to answer the phone and take orders. To their credit, I ordered the food and he said twenty minutes, and the food was ready at exactly twenty minutes. I would still rather drive to US Thai, but Thai Pot Cafe is a solid choice.

Lana S.
Thai Pot Cafe used to be my favorite thai place in the whole Denver area. My last visit was a disaster, not service-wise, but food-wise. I had tears in my eyes when I got my order of red curry. The curry sauce had a watery consistency, and it completely lacked ANY flavor. Thai food is flavorful, fragrant and balanced. It is quite unfortunate that more and more Thai places change the dishes to better suit general American palate and I guess, to save on more expensive ingredients. I kept playing with different spice combinations and pretty much gave up on turning it into anything descent. A friend in my company lived in Asia for a while. He said the food was completely Americanized, and the management was cutting corners. I agreed with him as even I could tell that this was not authentic Thai. All three of us were quite let down. So sad...

Melissa R.
My favorite thing to get is their Curry Shrimp with a number 3 spice. Their shrimp is large and generous. Patrons can choose how hot they want their dish which is a nice feature at Thai Pot. For this reason this is literally one of my favorite places to eat in SE Denver because I can control how hot I want my order. Ingredients are very fresh and not over cooked. Their crab rangoon is really good too.

Bayley S.
Unimpressed. I was so excited to try this place; their menu looked fantastic as well as their reviews. However, I was very unimpressed. It is relatively big and was very crowded. Our waiter, while not rude, had no emotion and refused to even smile a little the entire night. The menu looks great, and their are a lot of veggie options which I was very pleased to see. I ordered a coconut soup and spring rolls. The rolls were decent but the peanut sauce did not taste great. Very creamy. I was not a fan of the soup, it tasted like coconut milk and water blended together. It was a good deal, I ordered a small which was quite large (I only ate about 1/3 of it because I did not really like it) for about $5. Thai tea is my favorite drink, and I tried their version with almond milk, which was just how you would expect. It did not seem authentic. There were no Asians in the restaurant, and only a few Thai people who worked there. Also, I got spice level 4 (I love thai hot but I hate the judgement I get when I order it "you do know that is spicy right??") which was not at all spicy. I left hungry and went next door to yogurtland, which I also don't recommend. However it is in the same strip mall as protein bar, which is delicious. My favorite Thai place in Denver is Karma, located at 1st and Broadway. I eat there or order in several times a week, and it just simply is not comparable.

Steph G.
I've been meaning to try this place for a while now and in a nutshell, I will have to continue my search for the best thai in Denver. Sadface. My friend used to work here and she said that the cook is actually Thai, however it seems that the menu and cooking cater to the American palette. One of my go-to items in a thai place is the Drunken noodle simply because it's my fave. The tofu was nice and crispy which I loved, however I am not sure if the noodles were fresh. Choppy small pieces of noodles don't scream fresh to me. There were a couple orders of Thai basil or pad kra prow at my table, and it was oddly served without much thai basil. It tasted fine, but it certainly wasn't something I'd have again. It's a nice establishment with good service but like everywhere else in Denver, mediocre food. Probably won't go out of my way to go there but would if I was conveniently in the same area.

Wow! You want spicy. They will give you spicy. Bid go here everyday for lunch if I lived near by. I think a lot of 9-5ers eat here. Very quick at lunch and food was delicious. Red curry was nice and thick. Lots of veggies! And spiiiicy!

Love the new location! It's spacious, clean, and well decorated. The service was on point. I had the drunken noodles and it was so delicious. The sauce is what makes this dish for sure. My husband had the chicken pad Thai and loved it. If you're in the mood for Thai, this is a must try!

Turn into the sleep center or same parking lot as Mooyah. Good stuff and just about everything can be ordered gf. Waitress served with smile. I came in at. 1230 ordered and got out by 115. Make sure you get order in ASAP if you're on a lunch rush. All the tables were full but it sat immediately. Food is fresh good flavor. I ordered Panang curry with chicken 4 spicy level. I like that didn't overpower but good flavor without too much spice. If you're on your own, with 2 or 4 you'll be good to go. Next time I may get 5 or 6. More than that call ahead and ask to put tables together. I liked the atmosphere of old location it was cool authentic Thai strip mall in my opinion and I dig that . Now good for more people and I didn't have to wait. Glad to see them prosper and have hard work payoff.

I cannot even begin to tell you how great The food is at this restaurant! They have fresh, homemade rice noodles that are to die for and gluten free!! The texture alone is enough to make me come here multiple times a week for lunch. Awesome decor inside with floating parasols from Thailand hanging from the ceiling. This is a must for authentic homemade Thai food.

I stopped by for a takeout order during the Broncos game yesterday and it was great. Food was good, service was quick and the hostess did a great job of getting all my order together. The inside of the restaurant looks really nice and I'll definitely stop by to dine in for the full experience next time. Ordered the Pad Thai, Chicken Pad Woon Sen, Curry Fried Rice and Pad Kee Mao. All dishes were super yummy and tasted "made to order". Good job guys! Will recommend and return for more food for sure :D Favorite Dish was Curry Fried Rice!

We first came here when they were in their old, cramped location, this location is so much bigger and better! It is gorgeous! Tucked into a corner of a nearly empty, new shopping center right off of Colorado Blvd. I always get the green curry with Jasmine rice, and I am always happy with it. The heat levels are good, I usually get a 5 and it's just right for me. The chicken is delicious, white meat, and never has any "gross parts" like I find in other chicken. The service is friendly and pretty fast. This is some of the best curry I have ever had, and that is saying something since I have had a lot of different curry around town.

S C.
My husband and I absolutely love this place! We have ordered quite a few dishes since we started ordering take out from Thai Pot. The drunken noodles are definitely one of our favorites with quite a bit of flavor and we get it with chicken, which is seasoned perfectly. Also, we have tried the red curry, green curry, and Panang curry, all at spice level "5" which is not overly hot. The spring rolls are large and stuff pretty full compared to other places. We have also ordered the potstickers, which are pretty consistent with other Thai places, so I don't think we'd order those again. But I have to comend this place on their consistency! We will be back soon.

Pam M.
Consistently delicious. One of the few Thai restaurants I can order Drunken Noodles cooked in little oil with extra vegetables and still has the rich spicy favors this dish is known for! The chicken in the dish is always perfect, never over cooked or tough. Kids loved the Pad Thai.

Nicholas N.
New location == Awesome! I really liked my first trip here. I decided to judge them based on the old standard pad thai first, then branch out. So I ordered lunch pad thai with chicken and tofu and here's what I learned: - you get a choice of small appetizer included... I got crab rangoons and they were rad. - they have a heat scale of 1 - 5 and up... I ordred 7 and it was about my medium. I was very happy with that level of heat. - the food is very good and delivered very quickly - my Thai Iced Tea was huge and they offer it with soy milk as well, which is a nice alternative to cream. Just sayin... I will definitely return for a nice lunch with my wife soon.

Discovered this place today after my friend insisted we go here instead of the thai place next door to our office building. The drive was worth it! Great lunch special and the pad thai was amazing. I only ordered an "American 2" and it was not spicy at all! Next time I will go spicier.

This was my favorite Thai spot... to many screw ups and management doesn't even care. I have gone to this restaurant for 3+ years and have sent dozens of friends and colleagues.... If you want your order messed up and management to be completely OK with it please support this establishment ... I know I won't ever again. To bad too... the new location is nice. Hopefully someone will buy the place and get rid of the current management.

I would argue that this place has the best Pad Thai in Denver for the price. I've been to a lot of different Thai places and this is easily the best one. I'd give it 6 stars if I could. I created a Yelp account just to make a review about this exceptional restaurant.

Erica A.
Got takeout from here on a weeknight. My boyfriend and I both ordered the Pad See Ew, one with pork and one with beef. This is my favorite Thai dish so I have had it many different places. Thai Pots was kind of dry. There didnt seem to be enough sauce or the noodles were overcooked. Both meats were nice and tender. The dish did have a good taste though and you get a lot of food. May try some other thai places before I come back here but would try again.

I've been a customer at Thai Pot for many years - before it moved to its new location. The food is the only thing that makes me keep coming back. It's the staff that makes me want to find a new favorite thai restaurant. I work in the service industry and try to be understanding, but most of the staff except a select few need to be let go. Most of the servers are awkward, unwelcoming, unfriendly, and just not personable. They make me dread coming in. When I do come in, I pray that one of those select few serve me. Most of the times we are not welcomed and are forced to stand there awkwardly. No smiles, no pleasantries, nothing. When we are finally seated, the servers usually say the bare minimum, and not even in a warm welcoming way. There have been at least 10 times that this has occurred. It's time to hire new servers or you're going to lose a lot of loyal customers.

I must say that I was disappointed with my experience here. I had been to the other location and remember it being some of the best Thai food nearby. I finally made it back hoping for the same consistency as the last time but it just didnt hit home for me. We walked in and sat at the bar because there was football on the tv. The bartender doubled as a server, and he was friendly and helpful. We ordered some hot sake and the crab wonton appetizer, a staple for me when going out for Thai food. The sake was good for a generic Thai restaurant sake and the wontons were ok too. Our meals then came out fairly quick, a little too quick actually. Still I was excited because it had been a long time since I have had their delicious pineapple curry dish. I let it cool off a little bit and took my first bite. I ordered spice level 4 and was hoping for some oomph and plenty of flavor which it lacked both of. It tasted like coconut milk with a sight spice to it. I still kept eating it because I was starving. My dining companion got the drunken noodles, which is another favorite of mine that lacked flavor. The ambiance is meh. I really liked the other quaint location a lot better. There was music from the kitchen, music in the main dining area, and the football game at the bar all blaring at once. Granted there is a lot more space for seating at this location. All in all, my experience here was meh. I would rather go a little more out of the way for really good Thai food for the same price.

I always heard great things about Thai Pot Cafe, so I was pretty eager to try out their new location this week. Unfortunately, I wasn't too impressed and had a lackluster experience. Panang curry and drunken noodles are my signature dishes I order whenever I get Thai. I like to think I have eaten some of the best over the years living in several big cities. Unfortunately, the panang curry was the worst I've ever had. It was watery and bland. There probably were about 6 teeny pieces of chicken in the whole thing. I also tried their drunken noodles. I preferred this dish over the panang... It was fine. Not much meat in this dish either. I finished my meal feeling unsatisfied. Perhaps, they are ironing out their kinks from relocating? Not a good first impression and sadly for them, that was their last. I will not return.

I was really happy to find this place and so close to my house. We tried two main dishes and both were really good. I also had Tom kha, which was good, but really meager on the chicken. The rice was very well prepared. The service was very slow, but they said that they were short-staffed, so I give them points for being honest. And, to their credit, our servers were very nice. My only complaint is that their food and drink portions are NOT commensurate with their prices. I am not saying I want giant plates of food (American style --haha)@--I'm saying I want more food for what they charge. Especially the wine, which was very expensive and was a very skimpy pour. I guess their fancy new digs charge a high rent. So, if price is no object, I recommend for the food.

She was craving Thai food all week for her birthday. I don't blame her, everyone has a food weakness. So I decided to take her out to her favorite Thai restaurant in Colorado. My friend loves this place! So much that me taking her was the 4th time this week for her birthday! haha! I love Thai food, but not as much as her :P This was the first time eating at this restaurant and I was pretty excited knowing how much of a foodie she was. And she was right! Thai Pot Cafe had the best Pad Thai I'd had recently. I automatically know pad thai is not good when the noodles come in a visible sauce, or is dry from no sauce at all. The mixture has to be right. Thai Pot does that! I got my dish with beef, while she got vegetarian since she couldn't have meat for awhile due to personal obligations. And with Thai food, there is always the option for spicy! The scale when the waiter told me was 0 to infinity. I had not heard of that before, so I had to ask for an explanation. I was always just used to ordering my Pad Thai, "as spicy as you can make it!" He told me he loves spicy so told me to try a 30 level. To me, that sounded high, but when eating it, I would say that it was spicy. At the other Thai restaurants, it was always mild, medium, hot and Thai Hot. That level 30 would me more comparable to a medium/hot mix. I still liked it, just was expecting more heat. Might just double the level the next time I come in! lol. The dish overall was just how pad thai should be! My favorite dish to order at Thai restaurants and Thai Pot Cafe does it right :) I always order Thai Iced tea with my meals and it came in a big cup. It wasn't as sweet as other Thai restaurants, but that just made the tea flavor come out a bit more, which tasted great! I will definitely be coming back for more pad thai and I do thank my friend for a great recommendation!

I love Thai food! This place makes amazing Thom Ka. However, I'm really allergic to shellfish, and not one time BUT TWICE, we ordered veggie spring rolls and were given Shrimp.

Different location; same great food! I've seen some of the negative reviews and am going to consider them a fluke of the adjustment to doubling in size and the move. We had our usual faves - the Panang curry and Drunken noddles and they were both delicious and savory as always. I love the staff, they remain courteous, prompt, and attentive. I admit, I miss the coziness of the old place - the new digs are a bit cavernous and lack the charm of the old - but it's now like other strip mall joints a box in a mall - but the food is still authentic and delicious and the service top notch.

We are from Seattle one of the best American cities for Thai food and hands down this is far superior to anything else we have had in Denver. Thai Pot is by far my favorite restaurant in Denver for asain food. Its a bit far for me but so worth the drive.

So happy to say I had a great experience here! Two ladies running the floor and bar. A bit slow on service but was made up by how nice and caring they were. Great food and great experience!

A friend and I decided to try this a couple days ago and the food was fine. I don't typically complain too much about service, but we ordered a couple entrees and it took about 30 minutes to get our food. It was fine, as we had much to catch up on, but I'm just glad I wasn't really hungry. I wouldn't go back though.

Okay update time! My first review of this place was only 4 stars because I wasn't satisfied with the 5 or 10 spice level dishes I tried. I have been back multiple times since my first review, and can happily say Thai Pot Cafe can bring some heat! You just need to order more than 10. I have found that 20-25 is perfect for me. Thai Pot Cafe has become one of my favorite restaurants and I find myself coming back again and again craving that heat. Everything I have tried is amazing! Easily one of the best Thai restaurant in Denver, if not THE best. Please do yourself a favor and order the sticky rice and mango next time you vista. It is so freaking delicious and refreshing, and not to mention takes away any lingering thai heat in your mouth after your meal :)

So far, best Thai I've had in Denver. I have a friend who only wants Thai every time we go out to eat, so by now I've been to A LOT of Thai in CO. Now let me explicate on what I mean by best, because some may assume I mean most authentic... But I don't. First off, the spice spectrum they offer you (1-10) is very suburbanized, and much weaker than what you would get in say Thai Basil or Thai Monkey club, etc. I had to order ahead for an Indian friend of mine once and I got him an 8/10, and he told me he couldn't taste anything . I got a 7/10, and could have easily handled a 9/10. So no ballistic levels of spice here, but many will appreciate that. I got one of the curries with potato in it, and it was unbelievably good. Rice was cooked to perfection, sweet and sour type soup that came with it was delicious, and the curry itself was extremely well balanced and flavorful. My fiend got the tropical fried rice (has pineapple, etc) and said it was great. It was like they knew how to cook great Thai, and then rounded it all out with American culinary excellence. Price was perfectly reasonable, and service was a solid A. Top of the line Thai in Denver.

Great Thai food, friendly service. I find that a lot of Thai restaurants rely on frozen, tasteless, chewy tofu that totally tanks otherwise decent food. Not so at Thai Pot--the tofu is perfect, crispy fried on the outside and soft and delicious on the inside. The drunken noodles are the best I've had anywhere--a must-try.

I would love to talk about the food but after 10 minutes of sitting at the table with no service, I left and will not be returning.

Great pad thai! Its so hard to find a place that will make it spicy enough for me and not spicy at all for my girlfriend. Their spice scale is unique and goes up to 40 but american spice levels are 1 to 5. The pad thai is moist and flavorfull, the beef tender. Ive ordered from here a few times now and have yet to be less than thrilled. The portion is large and yet i end up eating it all because the flavor is so good. Best thai ive found in denver!

Best Drunken Noodles in Denver! Super helpful staff, and you get to pick the hotness level of your food. Seriously one of my favorite places to eat . Love love love. They are also great for takeout .

Jen M.
Not the best I've ever had, but decent. I liked the decor inside, it was nice. I ordered the drunken noodles, they had a lot of veggies and not many noodles. I was hoping they would be a little more saucy. But overall not bad. The crab rangoon was good and the thai tea was decent.

My friend and I just happened upon this place when we tried Mooyah burgers, which is in the same plaza. We both love Thai food and figured it would be worth a shot. First good sign: they were PACKED. Every table was full, so we ended up sitting at the bar. Even after we sat down, people were constantly pouring through the door. This restaurant clearly has a good reputation. Our waitress was prompt in bringing our drinks out and taking our order. I got the lunch special: chicken pad kee mao (level 2 spicy) with tom yum soup. The soup took a little longer to come out than I would've liked and it was barely warm, but I decided to overlook this point at the time because it was amazing - dare I say one of the best tom yums I've ever had??? Had it come out steaming, I would've given this place 5 stars, hands down. The pad kee mao came out soon after, piping hot, full of deliciousness. Only complaint I have about that is that level 2 spicy means nothing. Not even a tinge of heat. I'll definitely bump it up to like a 5 next time I go. The chicken was cooked thoroughly and was not at all dry, which I've noticed happens a lot with other Thai restaurants. Overall, I have to admit I'm impressed. I'll need to make sure I'm not in such a time crunch next time, but this place definitely deserves another shot.

My wife and I frequent this restaurant often. Lately the service and the kitchen have been quite consistent. Tonight we had steamed pot stickers for an appetizer, pineapple curry and drunken noodles. The service was prompt and attentive and the food was rather good. I'd recommend this place for anyone who is in the neighborhood. It seems they have a great takeout business as well.

Always great - new location is a real upgrade with the same charm of the old joint! Consistently a winning locale with fantastic Thai food at reasonable prices. The lunch special is perfect. Thai Pot - Thanks for not losing your cool with the upgrade! Well done!

This Thai food is the best! I've been here 8-10 times. Everything I've tried is delicious and authentic. The Pad Thai is on point (not easy to do). Pad see yew, panang curry, spring rolls, gyoza...all amazing. I won't get thai food anywhere else in Denver. You must try!

I was craving for some pad Thai one afternoon and after looking around my area for a Thai restaurant, I discovered this cafe and decided to stop by. First impression of this place is they have very good customer service. My server was very "enthusiastic(?)" she was like on fire to serve me! I felt welcomed and it boosts my appetite! I ordered pad thai, Thai tea and black rice pudding. The pad Thai tasted 5/5! I've had tasted lots of pad Thai but in my experience, this is the BEST ever. They used tamarind in the sauce and the hint of sourness made this pad thai tasted uniquely different. I would definitely come back for more and recommend this place to anyone who want to taste 5/5 pad thai and pad see ew.

Thai Pot is a good Thai spot. Tasty food and good service. Not transcendent but overall it is very good. I look forward to more visits in the near future. I prefer Jaya over the Thai Pot but I have no complaints.

I've been here three times in the past two weeks. And I can't stop ordering the drunken noodles. I think I have a problem. I really like the new space. It's a nice blend of "quick serve lunch joint" and "zen". They are remarkably busy, so I must not the be only person who likes it. Thai iced tea and mango sticky rice dessert are highly recommended as well.

Natta L.
This is thr worst restaurant I have ever been to. 3 words for this restaurant 1 -watery 2 -bland 3 -tasteless. We ordered the Green curry and it came out like a water I didnt even see any green color in my green curry AT ALL and the taste was so bland so I asked for fish sauce and more chillies but didnt help so I just gave up! The Tom Kha Soup was also sooo bland with some really tiny chicken and again I added some more chilies to bring some flavor up. We also ordered Pad Thai it was just fine. This will be my first and last time here. This 2 star is for the most friendliest staff.

In town for work had an early dinner. App, salad, entree, half off wine. Everything was good including service. I love Thai and I was cautious as I saw no one of Asian descent working or eating when I initially arrived. Food was so good I ultimately didn't care who prepared it, it was so good!

Best pad Thai in Denver. Love the spice level options. Tom Ka soup is very good as well. Just wish they had delivery.

Cassandra K.
I'm definitely a fan of this clean and bright strip mall joint. The portions were small and the flavors could have been kicked up a bit, and the value for the portion was not great. The service was fast and attentive though, everything was very clean and fresh, and there were an excellent variety of options, including a staggering array of desserts (for a thai place!). GF/ Veg/ DF are all clearly labelled.

Jon T.
Worst service. Food was cold when they brought it out. And the curry had a piece of short dirty blonde hair in it. They said they would take it it back and do something special. Purely it was all talk. Just brought out another dish with less portion. This is not the place to enjoy your meal, especially after how they cannot even make their mistakes right. Everyone makes mistakes and I am very reasonable about that, but that is not the way to do it to make things right.

Ok, so I was heading to a Korean restaurant but based on reviews and proximity to my hotel decided to try this little place. The place is located in a very modern building but they have done a decent job at making it feel a little homie. The biggest detracting was a giant flatscreen tv on the wall. Also a little noisy. No bother, I came to eat. The menu is very simple. Basic Thai dishes and some Chinese fusion items... I ordered papaya salad, summer rolls and a green curry. The papaya salad was decently portioned, decent flavor, but very salty. The fresh summer rolls weren't so fresh. They are pre-made and the rice paper roll was dry & stiff. Well made, but don't come here for those. The massaman curry was good. Great level of spice and a variety of vegetables (bamboo shoots, mushrooms and long beans). With respect to service, really nice server, but unfortunately all of the food came out at the same time.

We ordered take-out from Thai Pot last night and it was so good! I've been wanting to try it since I've heard a lot of good things about it. I called ~6pm and they said it would be ready in 15 min which was nice since I was expecting a longer wait at that time. We ordered the drunken noodles with pork, hot and sour soup with shrimp, gyoza, and the chicken wings. Everything was delicious and I bet would be even better if we had eaten it at the restaurant straight out of the kitchen! The girl who took my order was really friendly and answered all of my questions and didn't rush me through my order even though I could tell the restaurant was a little busy. The rest of the staff was very nice and friendly as well when I came in. They had my order ready within the promised time frame which is always appreciated. Like I said, we really enjoyed everything we ordered & we'll definitely be back soon!

I was in the neighborhood and was craving Thai food, so I googled restaurants in the area to check out the reviews. This place had a lot of good reviews and it was literally right down the way from where I was so I went to check it out. When trying a new Thai restaurant I always either order Pad Kee Moa (Drunken Noodles) or Panang Curry, and that is how I make my judgement on the place. This time I had the Drunken Noodles and the Spring rolls, I was impressed! The seasoning of the Drunken Noodles was really good and pretty close to Authentic, however next time I will order it without the eggplant. The spring rolls were really yummy too and the peanut sauce was tasty. It is always really nice to find new Thai restaurants that actually taste authentic and I am glad that I found another! I don't live right down the street from here, but I will definitely make the drive to try it out again.

James D.
Some of the best Thai we have found in Denver. They have moved locations and the new place is huge compared to the last location. Go for sure. My go to at Thai restaurants is Pad se ewe (sp?) and the one here is great. I always intend to share it but that does not always happen...
(5)
Aaron B.
Absolutely the best lunch Thai spot in Denver. I've probably eaten here 10 times in the last 5 months and never had a bad meal. I recommend the green curry and the ginger curry. Best part... they do the usual 1 to 5 on heat, but I'd you're adventurous, they will go as high as 40... BE A MAN
(5)
Kristi Z.
Been coming here for years. I crave their Drunken Noodles. The new location is nice and the food is just as good. I order my dish American level 2 and my husband orders Thai Hot 30. The servers here are the ones who helped us figure out how to order Thai hot. Each number is one of those tiny spoons of spice. We drive across town to come here, great place.

It's okay. Solid good food with reasonable price. Even though I only gave them three stars, I'll probably come back to try some of the other items on the menu...I got full with the glass noodle dish I tried. It was a kind of bland but I probably should have picked a higher level of heat. Friendly service.

This Place is Awesome! try the Drunken Noodle! By far this is the best i had in Denver! need to go back try other stuff!

Naveen I.
The price was very reasonable and the food was really good. The Thai Pot Special is very reminiscent of a Basil curry. The coconut sticky rice was amazing and served with a sizable piece of flan which wasn't overly sweet, but was sweet enough to appease the need for dessert. Overall I would say for the price this place was a really good experience.
(5)
Geoff G.
Best Thai in Denver. Highly recommend the fried rice, pad Thai, pad see ew, and soups. Great lunch spot that includes an entree with an appetizer. Give yourself time for lunch because it gets crowded during the week, but totally worth the wait. Friendly service with great quality.

Melanie S.
Spontaneously acting on a craving, I found my way here via YELP. It was a bit hard to find tucked back in a newly developed space. The room is light, open and very clean. The service is friendly and efficient. Lunch consisted of Pad Thai with Tofu, crab wonton appetizer and hot ginger tea. I would come back just for the tea, perfectly balanced spivey and sweet. The crab wontons were hot and crispy with a light and flavorful dipping sauce. The pad Thai was well presented and fresh, just the right portion for lunch. I ordered mine medium spicy and will likely kick that up a notch when I return.

only legit thai food in all of denver! my best friend grew up in thailand, and when he moved to the states, his mom would spoil us with authentic thai recipes. all have paled in comparison until i came to thai pot cafe - back when it was a hole in the wall restaurant down the street. their curries outdo themselves and i love all the servers and cooks. grateful this place exists in our city! well done!

The food is outstanding. They have gluten free and vegetarian options. I've enjoyed the food, but they are so busy and just understaffed. I went there earlier in the year on a Saturday night. They got so busy that they had to quit answering the phone for to go orders. The service suffers when a place is that busy. I've gone a few times since then. It's not as bad as it was, but they're still pretty busy. I just wish they would hire more people.

Best. Thai. Food. In. Denver. I have eaten here at least 30 times now, and it has literally never disappointed. I have always had very prompt service here as well, carry out orders ready in 15-20 minutes, served hot. The Pad See Ewe is to die for and the Crab Rangoons are just right.

So, I've finally found my spot in the thai world. Drunken noodles and thai iced tea. I'm dreaming about it right now! Thai Pot's new location was packed on a Wednesday for lunch! Good for them. Makes sense after you try their food! I can't wait to go back!

Michael H.
The food and people are amazing. I love the Thai Tom Yum soup. It's out if this world and simple. The staff is always very friendly and fun to talk with. I highly recommend this place. It's really exciting they gave moved to a new location. It's bigger, better and there's more parking.

My hubby and I were visiting Denver and were stuck in traffic at 6 p.m.in this area. And we were starving. I yelped this place and was amazed we could find parking so easily. It is a bit hard to find at the back of a mid block strip mall, but they had a sign out front and I recognized it from the yelp photo. It was so worth hunting for it. Very cute interior,super friendly service. Seemed very new. They had a good beer selection. I read on yelp that the drunken noodles were good. This dish was fantastic! I've never had so many veggies in this dish like they serve it x- eggplant, green beans,broccoli.... I added chicken and they loaded it in there too, nice tender chunks of white meat. There were hardly any noodles. But the sauce was what has me dreaming of this dish, rich and basily. Wow! The crab Rangoons were good, and the Thom ka gha was very good, but those noodles are worthy of another trip to Denver (I hope soon!)

Kathy P.
I adore this place. I haven't had a bad thing yet. Their pad thai is awesome. The noodles are the perfect consistency. They are great with spice levels. This is the best Thai I've had in Denver so far and we are now frequent customers. One thing I recently learned is that they shop daily so their ingredients are very fresh.

This experience was at the old location on 12/23/13. In Denver for Christmas 2013 and went here for dinner at 5:30. When we arrived the place was empty and we thought we had made a bad choice, but when we left it was packed. The server was great, always a smile and a joke. Instead of the foods spiciness being mild, med., or spicy, as I am accustom to, they go by numbers. 0 being mild and up from there. I ordered 3 and it was pretty mild. Hot tea - 2.50 (tea bag and water) Fat Tire ale - 3.50, glass of wine - 8.00, Pot Stickers (6) - 4.95, Small tom kha chicken soup - 4.95, entrees at 10 and 12. 95. Over all this was a good choice and when in the area again would go back.

I am giving Thai Pot Cafe 3 stars because I think the food is great but the kitchen is sorely disorganized and in need of immediate attention. The first time we tried the new location they mixed up our order with another table (we were sitting at the bar by the way so I'm not sure how that's possible). Luckily, when they did finally get the order right our meal was delicious and we quickly forgot about the mix up. Our next attempt we tried to order carry out on a Saturday evening and no one ever answered the phone. We decided to go to the restaurant and order there to carry out. The place was packed and the phone was ringing off the hook and going unanswered. Unfortunately, since moving to their larger location their kitchen seems unable to keep up with the demand of the carry-out orders and the dine-in patrons. We were told that our food would not be ready for 45 minutes and we could either cancel our order or come back. We opted to come back only because my mouth had been watering over the Pad Thai for weeks. When we came back for our food and got it home it was luke warm. So disappointed. Unfortunately, I doubt that we will return (even with the free meal voucher we received for our wait time) unless they get better organized and can pick up the phone to take a to-go order. Side note: you know its not a good sign when the staff tells you not to call or try to get in during peak dinner hours especially after telling you it's their last day working there.

After reading all the great reviews about the crab Rangoon and drunken noodles I was completely underwhelmed with both. Average is the best I can say for all three of our meals. Service was also underwhelming however they were quite busy. Understaffed I'd say was that problem.

Kevin B.
No way this place deserves a 3.5. I was a regular at the old location and tried the new one. Food is just as good but there is more seating. The location is a little odd b/c it is tucked away and not easy to find. We went on the first night it opened so the service was slow but that is to be expected. I've tried all of the noodle dishes and they are amazing. We always went here for takeout and will continue to do so.

Fantastic! This is by far the best Thaj food in Denver. Their new restaurant interior is great too - big, very clean and tastefully designed. The restaurant was bustling when I went there during lunchtime also so appears to have a steady stream of business.

We decided to try this place instead of our usual Thai place. While different, it didn't disappoint. Our service started off really strong. The girl informed us of their spice scale, which ranges from 0-100! 0-5 is basically zero spice. We started off with the Thai chicken wings which were AMAZING. Best part of the meal. They came out so incredibly fresh and hot. Then, This white girl got the pad Thai at an eight and it was perfectly spicy. The sauce had a nice sweetness to it. It was some decent pad Thai. The boyfriend tried the Panang Curry at an 8 level spice also. We loved the consistency of the broth and the coconut flavor was perfect. Chicken was alright. I would omit the carrots from the dish personally. Lastly, we finished with the Thai custard and sticky rice. I really enjoyed the two together, not so much the custard on its own. It's a unique consistency. The only downside was that our service really lacked towards the end. Our waitress was a little more focused on doing her sidework. I waited for almost 5 minutes for a refill while she rolled silverware): but would definitely still come back!

It was good - just nothing extraordinary. We came with a group of four. They were busy but it took maybe 5 mins to sit us down. The customers service was great. My food was warm... Not hot, which makes me think they finished mine first and let it sit while the rest of my parties was done cooking. The Thai iced tea, also nothing special. I would go back if i was in the area and hungry... But I wouldn't go out of my way to eat there.

Best time to go is during lunch 11-3pm where you can get a small appetizer with your meal for about 10 bucks. My favorite here is the pad see ewe pan fried noodles, which ever good Thai restaurant should have. The best thing about this place is their spice scale that goes from 1-50! I hate when you go to a Thai restaurant and get their Thai hot and its not spicy at all. I like spicy food and I've ventured to 15 which gave me good sweat during the meal and it was delicious! I am not so fond of the curry or stir fried but that may be subjective.

We've tried Thai Pot numerous times since I'm a huge thai food fan. The flavor of the food here is great: love the drunken noodles and Thai Pot Special stir fry is yummy too. Four stars for the food. Unfortunately the portions are just tiny. Dinner is about $11--$13 per dish. After 2 apps, soup and 3 main dishes, three of us left still hungry. They do have a lunch special menu for about $9--$11 (the drunken noodle portion was decent but the stir fry portions are so small!) My husband's dish was literally like 10 bites of food. They also charged an extra dollar to add in broccoli... which is totally cool to charge for extra add ons but it was like 4 pieces of broccoli. Service is hit and miss. Sometimes super friendly and sometimes not very attentive at all. This would be my go to place if their portions weren't tiny. :( Don't think we'll be back anymore. The hunt for good Thai food continues...
(3)Kelly R.
Ok - i really want to love this place bc there needs to be some better options for really good thai, but like most places in town, it completely falls short on flavor. Pad Thai is some of the blandest I've had and when you ask for spicy ---Im not sure they add anything. I had to dowse mine with red pepper flakes. I will give it a few more tries, but for now, I'm underwhelmed.
(3)Eric N.
I've been a longtime fan of Thai Pot. I think the food is among the best of the rather mediocre Thai food scene here in Denver, and they had pleasant and caring staff. However that has all changed recently as the kitchen delays became unpredictable and often we were waiting 30 minutes even when the restaurant wasn't full. Even worse, they fired their best staff that we'd come to know and love, replacing them with a merry go round of usually harried, inexperienced staff. Firing their best staff was a dumb move, since I feel uncomfortable going to a place that doesn't take care of their best staff. I even heard rumors that they aren't paying their kitchen staff overtime. I'd give one star for the bad management, but the good food merits another star.
(2)Matthew T.
BOMB! The service was great and the restaurant was clean. Even better the food is consistently great. Only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because their Thai Hot (hot rating) is not very hot. Every time I have been I order the TOM YUM (Thai Hot & Sour Soup), and the PAD NAM PRIK PAW (Spicy Saucy Delight). Both are amazing.
(4)Dale Z.
I have been here for lunch a few times now. The place is extremely popular, and frequently gets full well before noon. I have tried the curries, the soups, and the drunken noodles as well. I also have tasted the egg rolls and crab rangoon. My overall impression is good quality Thai food with an emphasis on extra veggies. Sometimes I encounter a couple things in the dishes that seem superfluous (like extra eggplant or crunchy green beans), but it all tastes good. The heat scale here goes from one to 10, and seems less punishingly face-melting than what you might encounter at other places. I think you need to get a least a four if you want to feel anything. The prices here are not outrageous, but neither are they especially cheap. However, it seems like you get good value for your dollar. Service is generally good, but tends to bog down (not surprisingly) as they approach full capacity. I have not had occasion to come by later in the afternoon to try happy hour yet. But, with the 1/2 priced beers and other specials, it is definitely on my to do list.
(4)Leah W.
Terrible service! If you go be prepared to sit and wait and wait and wait only to have your meal arrive wrong. A girlfriend and I came here for dinner on a Thursday night and we were sat and waited probably 15 minutes before we were greeted and given with water, we then waited for our glasses wine for quite a long time (convinced the waiter forgot about them until we asked about them) then finished our glasses of wine and would have loved to order another but our waiter never came! Finally our food came and it was wrong (one dish included beef for avid vegetarians) and one came with rice when we asked for noodles. We waited again for our food with empty wine (and water!) glasses. I mentioned the poor service to a front of house manager and he told me to email someone and there was nothing he would/could do. Nothing on our bill was comped. If you go, be prepared to wait forever for your food (with no beverages) and then have it be wrong upon arrival.
(2)Sharod D.
Took my girlfriend to try out this spot and let's just say by the end, she was a very happy camper! Everything food wise was absolutely delightful! We started with the sampler platter that was perfect to try the majority of the appetizer options. We then shared the pad Thai and the green curry, both at the spiciest level they had ( I love a meal with some heat), and although I could have done with more spice, the quality and taste of both entrees were really on point. Some of the better Thai food I have had in quite some time! Now onto the service. Our waitress was very personable and funny but the service was slow, which I blame more on the restaurant being new more than anything else. My only real complaint was the bar and cocktails we ordered. We ordered saki bombs expecting a full thing of saki and a full beer but instead only received a half a cup of beer and a single saki shot. I would have not been upset if we were charged appropriately for the quantity but we were charged 8 dollars for each. Extremely pricey compared to other comparable restaurants. We also ordered a Moscow mule that was watered down and also overpriced. I would recommend sticking to wine or beer with your meal as their cocktail options are not worth it. Again I have to reiterate how great the food was but because of the slower service and poor cocktails I have to give this establishment only 3 stars. I have no doubt in my mind that a couple months down the road, when the establishment has more experience and better organizes the full dining experience they will be a 5 star establishment! Even though I have some minor complaints I would still recommend anyone to dine at this restaurant purely based on the yumminess of the food!
(3)Renee L.
Love this place! I've been coming for years and it's always consistent, great food and good customer service! They must be doing something right, they have quadrupled their space since moving a bit further south on Colorado. The chicken pad thai and the spicy chicken and rice soup are fantastic!
(5)Tim S.
Visiting from out of town and ordered some egg rolls and veggie pad woon sen for take out. Egg rolls and sauce were fantastic. Pad woon sen was also very good. I asked for extra spicy and the order taker questioned me about it and after my persistence said he would make it "thai spicy level 50" whatever that means. It was well spiced though. More so than I usually get so that was appreciated. Only thing I would change is probably no eggplants in the Pad woon sen. I ended up picking those out as the texture wasn't great. But there were plenty of other veggies so it was a nice as a vegetarian meal instead of being almost all noodles like some other places make their veggie noodle dishes. I'd come back again next time I am in town.
(5)Briana B.
I don't have a high spice tolerance, so I ordered my noodle soup at a 2 (out of 5 on spiciness). It was bland even for my taste. Had to add about a tablespoon of sriracha! They didn't even provide any sides for the soup like most places do (basil, jalapeños, cilantro, etc.). I had the veggies in the soup and they were strange (green beans in pho??). My husband's drunken noodles were also bland and lacking in flavor. The veggies were very fresh, however.
(2)Shannon W.
First, I want to say that I have loved Thai Pot for a long time. When my husband and I moved to Texas for a short stint I missed Thai Pot more than any other restaurant in the city. We've been at least a dozen times since we came back last year, but this time made me rethink my devotion. We were seated by a hostess, who wasn't very cordial but whatever. However, she sat us at a two top and that's normal but to be honest, I had a tiring day at work and I just wanted to relax and spread out a little. My husband asked if we could be moved to a booth for more space and she rolled her eyes and signed heavily saying, "we are seating the tables by the numbers." I would be more understanding if the place was busy, but there were only 4 or 5 tables filled. So we decided that instead of being uncomfortable at a very small table we would go elsewhere. So we went to Silvi's down Colorado Blvd and we were seated where we liked and had a very nice experience! People who work at restaurants should approach their patrons like they all 1) have a backbone and 2) work, or have worked, in the service industry and know that crap is ridiculous.
(2)Michelle A.
Fresh, tasty, and friendly service. The inside is very pleasant. I had the ginger Chicken Salad and wish I had one now. My husband had a beef, broccoli and noodle dish. We both enjoyed our meals. Will return
(5)C E.
Love this place! I love the Basil fried rice and pad se ewe. Always tastes great and best thai I've had I town. Seriously. My only complaint is that they continue to use styrofoam for take out. Wish they'd have a more sustainable outlook and pay whatever out took to be more green.
(4)Mimi K.
Yummy! I love it all and it's very consistent here. We get the Thai green curry, pad Thai, massauman chicken, and crab cheese wontons. Best place for Thai in Colorado.
(4)Ilona M.
Always ALWAYS an epic experience! The flavors are always spot on and hit that satisfying spot. Definitely try their Tom Yum soup!
(5)Laura Z.
Love eating here. Great for a quick lunch. I love all of the curry dishes. Friendly staff and convenient location.
(5)Alan N.
Been coming to this place for years before they moved to their new (current) location. The pad see ew is wonderful, and their appetizers are simple but great. I'm glad they were able to upgrade to a bigger place. I recommend coming here if you want good authentic tasting Thai food.
(5)Niles W.
I don't know who is doing the cooking, but it is pretty bland for Thai food. Their idea of spicy is pretty gravy. Next, the portions have been very, very small for what you pay compared to other Thai restaurants. Come on, vegetables are not that expensive. Dishes are consistently too much rice and not enough of the actual dish. This has been our experience on both dine in and take out. The take out containers are really lacking, but probably that way because of the kiddie portions. Save your money, go somewhere else. We live close and after a number of tries will simply not go back.
(1)Martin D.
Success can hurt a business as quickly as failure can. My last review said the place was crowded. It was crowded on my second visit as well....and I don't think they can handle that kind of crowd. I previously said "Damned good food." This time the food was so-so. Not bad, but very far from great. Here is the main point: I found a piece of cotton string about 18 inches long in with my noodles. It took quite a while to get the attention of any wait personnel. When one did come, I indicated the dish and said, "send this back to the kitchen." He took the string and disappeared. The noodle dish sat there. After that he avoided my gaze and didn't reappear until I made a bit of a fuss. From there on in I was treated as if I were some kind of annoyance. The manager appeared and was a bit chilly in her apology. I got a fresh dish of noodles, but the evening was definitely ruined in spirit. AND....a classier joint would have comped the whole meal. This place took the price of the entree off my check. OK, better than nothing. There are better Thai places in the area. This place thinks the big crowd is automatic and the staff no longer has to try hard....or even be cordial.
(2)Natalia S.
I'll give you 5 stars because it's wrong to lower a review based on recent events, but recently thai pot has had a lot of turnover in their staff and it's been taking a toll on their service. My boyfriend and I love everyone there and we understand that its difficult to train new employees, but we've had our order done wrong 3 times in the last month. Mostly over the phone orders. Once we ordered carry out and my boyfriend is allergic to shrimp and it wasnt until we got home did we discover our dumplings were shrimp and not pork. Never had that problem before and have been coming here for a year since we moved. Again, great thai food when the order is correct. So much turn-over though. Familiar voice and face go a long way. Also, talking bad about other employees so loudly that I can hear you at the bar is just poor taste. Great thai food, but please pick up your service a bit. We stay loyal because you cant beat the food, but the rudeness and unprofessional behavior will cause you to lose other business.
(5)Kelly K.
Thai Pot Cafe has been our family's favorite restaurant since we happened upon it when it was still in the old location. The food is consistently excellent. We are sad about the staff turnover since the new location as we liked recognizing our servers. However, the food hasn't suffered. The Pad Kee Mao is so good I have to eat the entire plate. The green curry is also excellent as is the Pad Thai.
(5)Noel W.
First off, the vegetable egg rolls are awesome, particularly when paired w/ the cashew duck sauce they serve it with. I got the Pad Khing, a ginger dish with perfectly cooked vegetables, crunchy, not mushy. You select your spice level so this being my 1st time, I selected level 4 which turned out to be just right although I'll probably try a level 5 next time. The Thai Iced Tea was also good but if you like your Thai Tea sweet, you'll be slightly disappointed. Finally, the service is good provided you're not expecting sit-down fast-food quickness. I'm definitely looking forward to my next visit.
(5)Steve S.
Love this place however all staff changed out. Slow slow slow. Waited an hour for our food not as good admit use to be. Clearly not the same. Time to find another Thai resteraunt.
(2)Maz M.
Wouldn't seat me! Had 2 tables leave while I waited by the door and finally came and told me that they are really busy for lunch and that I would have to wait until someone at the bar left since I was having lunch as a party of 1! She even was kind of enough to tell me that her boss is there today and she didn't want to get in trouble for seating me at a 4 top! I have plenty of time and am leaving this tip and review from my car at 12:47pm while I look for another Thai restaurant in the area. Not a good start Thai Pot Cafe!
(1)Bryan L.
This is good Thai food that is reasonably priced. Service was slow the first time, but the next four times it has been excellent. Thai Pot Cafe has become our go to restaurant on the weekend when we want Thai comfort food.
(3)Hanh P.
Wow, talk about an Extreme Makeover. At least cosmetically speaking. Thai Pot has been an old favorite of mine in the neighborhood. The original place as a "hole in the wall" Thai spot. I recently was craving some Thai and looked all over for it, decided to Yelp the phone number... turns out the moved a month ago. The new location is in the hip new strip mall with Yogurtland 2 blocks north of the old location. It's 3 times larger, the interior is spacious, contemporary decor, and well-staffed with very friendly, eager service. A definitely improvement which is why it is PACKED at lunch. The best part is... the recipes are the same! Yay. My all time menu favorite is Pad Woon Sen (clear rice noddle). I ordered a 6 out of 7 for spice... and I have to say... 6 is pretty weak. I'll have to ask for a 10 out of 7 next time, my "Thai-ger blood" requires more heat. Will be back soon.
(4)D V.
Ordered panang curry. Came with zero peanut flavor. Also, their tofu is fried, which some customers might like. I don't. Their spice scale is 0-4 for gringo and Thai hot starts at 5 and tops at 10. I ordered 5 and my son 8. We both wound up having to add chili powder. Which I guess is safer from the restaurants point of view. In short, I'm going home still hungry :(
(2)Charlotte S.
Unassuming and delicious.
(4)Cara F.
This is my favorite restaurant in Denver, and the best Thai I've ever had. The food is consistently delicious, and I've tried at least half of what they have on the menu. Also, there's never a wait, the service is excellent, and the ambiance of the space is really nice. My favorite menu items are the crab rangoons, tom kha soup, and pad woon sen. You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu.
(5)Tim K.
Thai food is one of my favorites and very few places outside of Thailand have real Thai food. Most serve an Americanized version of traditional dishes. This is not to say they are bad, but they are quite different. Thai Pot Cafe is one of these places. It will do well, as the atmosphere is nice, decor contemporary, good location and they have Happy Hour 1/2 price specials. The food is about average for American Thai cuisine, spices are tamed down, even when spicy is requested. I continue to try many Thai food places they are all good with some being better (I do have my GO TO favorite). So, give this one a try, you may find it likable for a pleasant meal. It was noted that the picture of the King was no where to be found.....unusual for a Thai restaurant.
(3)Jennifer B.
Thai Pot Cafe has officially moved locations. A little bit further down Colorado Blvd. close to the Black Eyed Pea, Thai Pot Cafe is located towards the back by that new Mooyah Burger place I have yet to try. I can't comment on the inside of the location since I sat in the warm car while take out was being picked up. I'm a princess and I know it. (It's hard to leave a toasty butt warmer) The order included steamed dumplings, Panang Curry with Chicken and an order of Drunken Noodles with Chicken. The dumplings were pretty standard, the sauce was a little different, I believe it was a sesame based sauce. The Panang Curry was on the thin side for me, it felt diluted in some way. The flavor was still there and it was enjoyable. I like a little more creamy texture to my curry, I think that means more coconut milk. Yes please! The Drunken Noodles were top notch, wide rice noodles with veggies and some addicting spice blend that makes me want to lick the take out dish. Thai Pot moves down a notch for me for customer service. I was not able to eat at the old location, because no one would answer the phone to take my to go order. No lie, I tried 10 separate times to call and order and no one answered. Not because of busy lines or line but because no one would answer. At the new location (same number), I tried 4 times before I got someone who took my order. If a place is going to commit to offering take out I would hope they have enough people to answer the phone and take orders. To their credit, I ordered the food and he said twenty minutes, and the food was ready at exactly twenty minutes. I would still rather drive to US Thai, but Thai Pot Cafe is a solid choice.
(3)Lana S.
Thai Pot Cafe used to be my favorite thai place in the whole Denver area. My last visit was a disaster, not service-wise, but food-wise. I had tears in my eyes when I got my order of red curry. The curry sauce had a watery consistency, and it completely lacked ANY flavor. Thai food is flavorful, fragrant and balanced. It is quite unfortunate that more and more Thai places change the dishes to better suit general American palate and I guess, to save on more expensive ingredients. I kept playing with different spice combinations and pretty much gave up on turning it into anything descent. A friend in my company lived in Asia for a while. He said the food was completely Americanized, and the management was cutting corners. I agreed with him as even I could tell that this was not authentic Thai. All three of us were quite let down. So sad...
(2)Melissa R.
My favorite thing to get is their Curry Shrimp with a number 3 spice. Their shrimp is large and generous. Patrons can choose how hot they want their dish which is a nice feature at Thai Pot. For this reason this is literally one of my favorite places to eat in SE Denver because I can control how hot I want my order. Ingredients are very fresh and not over cooked. Their crab rangoon is really good too.
(5)Bayley S.
Unimpressed. I was so excited to try this place; their menu looked fantastic as well as their reviews. However, I was very unimpressed. It is relatively big and was very crowded. Our waiter, while not rude, had no emotion and refused to even smile a little the entire night. The menu looks great, and their are a lot of veggie options which I was very pleased to see. I ordered a coconut soup and spring rolls. The rolls were decent but the peanut sauce did not taste great. Very creamy. I was not a fan of the soup, it tasted like coconut milk and water blended together. It was a good deal, I ordered a small which was quite large (I only ate about 1/3 of it because I did not really like it) for about $5. Thai tea is my favorite drink, and I tried their version with almond milk, which was just how you would expect. It did not seem authentic. There were no Asians in the restaurant, and only a few Thai people who worked there. Also, I got spice level 4 (I love thai hot but I hate the judgement I get when I order it "you do know that is spicy right??") which was not at all spicy. I left hungry and went next door to yogurtland, which I also don't recommend. However it is in the same strip mall as protein bar, which is delicious. My favorite Thai place in Denver is Karma, located at 1st and Broadway. I eat there or order in several times a week, and it just simply is not comparable.
(2)Steph G.
I've been meaning to try this place for a while now and in a nutshell, I will have to continue my search for the best thai in Denver. Sadface. My friend used to work here and she said that the cook is actually Thai, however it seems that the menu and cooking cater to the American palette. One of my go-to items in a thai place is the Drunken noodle simply because it's my fave. The tofu was nice and crispy which I loved, however I am not sure if the noodles were fresh. Choppy small pieces of noodles don't scream fresh to me. There were a couple orders of Thai basil or pad kra prow at my table, and it was oddly served without much thai basil. It tasted fine, but it certainly wasn't something I'd have again. It's a nice establishment with good service but like everywhere else in Denver, mediocre food. Probably won't go out of my way to go there but would if I was conveniently in the same area.
(3)Joe C.
Wow! You want spicy. They will give you spicy. Bid go here everyday for lunch if I lived near by. I think a lot of 9-5ers eat here. Very quick at lunch and food was delicious. Red curry was nice and thick. Lots of veggies! And spiiiicy!
(5)Danny M.
The pad see-ewe was a nice time. Also great shrimp spring rolls. Great place for carry out.
(3)George J.
I've been here a few times and I must say that I'am a fan of the food. But the service was a little behind.
(4)James W.
Friendly service and nice environment. But, my friends, this is NOT Thai food by any stretch of the imagination. It was "watered down" and lacking any spices that real Thai food is famous for. Underwhelming, at best. But, service is excellent and professional.
(3)Jane S.
Love the new location! It's spacious, clean, and well decorated. The service was on point. I had the drunken noodles and it was so delicious. The sauce is what makes this dish for sure. My husband had the chicken pad Thai and loved it. If you're in the mood for Thai, this is a must try!
(5)Kristen P.
This place was AMAZING!! Service was great and the food was outstanding. The next time I am in Denver I am making it a point to go there.
(5)David F.
They have an easy menu to understand and the selections are excellent. You can go from a noodle dish to a soup dish and enjoy the differences. The ambiance is modern and clean. The food is fresh and is nicely prepared. The prices are reasonable. This restaurant is a good choice.
(4)Jeff B.
Turn into the sleep center or same parking lot as Mooyah. Good stuff and just about everything can be ordered gf. Waitress served with smile. I came in at. 1230 ordered and got out by 115. Make sure you get order in ASAP if you're on a lunch rush. All the tables were full but it sat immediately. Food is fresh good flavor. I ordered Panang curry with chicken 4 spicy level. I like that didn't overpower but good flavor without too much spice. If you're on your own, with 2 or 4 you'll be good to go. Next time I may get 5 or 6. More than that call ahead and ask to put tables together. I liked the atmosphere of old location it was cool authentic Thai strip mall in my opinion and I dig that . Now good for more people and I didn't have to wait. Glad to see them prosper and have hard work payoff.
(4)Caitlin B.
I cannot even begin to tell you how great The food is at this restaurant! They have fresh, homemade rice noodles that are to die for and gluten free!! The texture alone is enough to make me come here multiple times a week for lunch. Awesome decor inside with floating parasols from Thailand hanging from the ceiling. This is a must for authentic homemade Thai food.
(5)JT D.
I stopped by for a takeout order during the Broncos game yesterday and it was great. Food was good, service was quick and the hostess did a great job of getting all my order together. The inside of the restaurant looks really nice and I'll definitely stop by to dine in for the full experience next time. Ordered the Pad Thai, Chicken Pad Woon Sen, Curry Fried Rice and Pad Kee Mao. All dishes were super yummy and tasted "made to order". Good job guys! Will recommend and return for more food for sure :D Favorite Dish was Curry Fried Rice!
(4)Sarah V.
We first came here when they were in their old, cramped location, this location is so much bigger and better! It is gorgeous! Tucked into a corner of a nearly empty, new shopping center right off of Colorado Blvd. I always get the green curry with Jasmine rice, and I am always happy with it. The heat levels are good, I usually get a 5 and it's just right for me. The chicken is delicious, white meat, and never has any "gross parts" like I find in other chicken. The service is friendly and pretty fast. This is some of the best curry I have ever had, and that is saying something since I have had a lot of different curry around town.
(4)S C.
My husband and I absolutely love this place! We have ordered quite a few dishes since we started ordering take out from Thai Pot. The drunken noodles are definitely one of our favorites with quite a bit of flavor and we get it with chicken, which is seasoned perfectly. Also, we have tried the red curry, green curry, and Panang curry, all at spice level "5" which is not overly hot. The spring rolls are large and stuff pretty full compared to other places. We have also ordered the potstickers, which are pretty consistent with other Thai places, so I don't think we'd order those again. But I have to comend this place on their consistency! We will be back soon.
(4)Pam M.
Consistently delicious. One of the few Thai restaurants I can order Drunken Noodles cooked in little oil with extra vegetables and still has the rich spicy favors this dish is known for! The chicken in the dish is always perfect, never over cooked or tough. Kids loved the Pad Thai.
(5)Nicholas N.
New location == Awesome! I really liked my first trip here. I decided to judge them based on the old standard pad thai first, then branch out. So I ordered lunch pad thai with chicken and tofu and here's what I learned: - you get a choice of small appetizer included... I got crab rangoons and they were rad. - they have a heat scale of 1 - 5 and up... I ordred 7 and it was about my medium. I was very happy with that level of heat. - the food is very good and delivered very quickly - my Thai Iced Tea was huge and they offer it with soy milk as well, which is a nice alternative to cream. Just sayin... I will definitely return for a nice lunch with my wife soon.
(4)Olivia S.
Discovered this place today after my friend insisted we go here instead of the thai place next door to our office building. The drive was worth it! Great lunch special and the pad thai was amazing. I only ordered an "American 2" and it was not spicy at all! Next time I will go spicier.
(5)Santi M.
This was my favorite Thai spot... to many screw ups and management doesn't even care. I have gone to this restaurant for 3+ years and have sent dozens of friends and colleagues.... If you want your order messed up and management to be completely OK with it please support this establishment ... I know I won't ever again. To bad too... the new location is nice. Hopefully someone will buy the place and get rid of the current management.
(1)David D.
I would argue that this place has the best Pad Thai in Denver for the price. I've been to a lot of different Thai places and this is easily the best one. I'd give it 6 stars if I could. I created a Yelp account just to make a review about this exceptional restaurant.
(5)Erica A.
Got takeout from here on a weeknight. My boyfriend and I both ordered the Pad See Ew, one with pork and one with beef. This is my favorite Thai dish so I have had it many different places. Thai Pots was kind of dry. There didnt seem to be enough sauce or the noodles were overcooked. Both meats were nice and tender. The dish did have a good taste though and you get a lot of food. May try some other thai places before I come back here but would try again.
(3)Andrea L.
I've been a customer at Thai Pot for many years - before it moved to its new location. The food is the only thing that makes me keep coming back. It's the staff that makes me want to find a new favorite thai restaurant. I work in the service industry and try to be understanding, but most of the staff except a select few need to be let go. Most of the servers are awkward, unwelcoming, unfriendly, and just not personable. They make me dread coming in. When I do come in, I pray that one of those select few serve me. Most of the times we are not welcomed and are forced to stand there awkwardly. No smiles, no pleasantries, nothing. When we are finally seated, the servers usually say the bare minimum, and not even in a warm welcoming way. There have been at least 10 times that this has occurred. It's time to hire new servers or you're going to lose a lot of loyal customers.
(2)Lindsay A.
I must say that I was disappointed with my experience here. I had been to the other location and remember it being some of the best Thai food nearby. I finally made it back hoping for the same consistency as the last time but it just didnt hit home for me. We walked in and sat at the bar because there was football on the tv. The bartender doubled as a server, and he was friendly and helpful. We ordered some hot sake and the crab wonton appetizer, a staple for me when going out for Thai food. The sake was good for a generic Thai restaurant sake and the wontons were ok too. Our meals then came out fairly quick, a little too quick actually. Still I was excited because it had been a long time since I have had their delicious pineapple curry dish. I let it cool off a little bit and took my first bite. I ordered spice level 4 and was hoping for some oomph and plenty of flavor which it lacked both of. It tasted like coconut milk with a sight spice to it. I still kept eating it because I was starving. My dining companion got the drunken noodles, which is another favorite of mine that lacked flavor. The ambiance is meh. I really liked the other quaint location a lot better. There was music from the kitchen, music in the main dining area, and the football game at the bar all blaring at once. Granted there is a lot more space for seating at this location. All in all, my experience here was meh. I would rather go a little more out of the way for really good Thai food for the same price.

I always heard great things about Thai Pot Cafe, so I was pretty eager to try out their new location this week. Unfortunately, I wasn't too impressed and had a lackluster experience. Panang curry and drunken noodles are my signature dishes I order whenever I get Thai. I like to think I have eaten some of the best over the years living in several big cities. Unfortunately, the panang curry was the worst I've ever had. It was watery and bland. There probably were about 6 teeny pieces of chicken in the whole thing. I also tried their drunken noodles. I preferred this dish over the panang... It was fine. Not much meat in this dish either. I finished my meal feeling unsatisfied. Perhaps, they are ironing out their kinks from relocating? Not a good first impression and sadly for them, that was their last. I will not return.

I was really happy to find this place and so close to my house. We tried two main dishes and both were really good. I also had Tom kha, which was good, but really meager on the chicken. The rice was very well prepared. The service was very slow, but they said that they were short-staffed, so I give them points for being honest. And, to their credit, our servers were very nice. My only complaint is that their food and drink portions are NOT commensurate with their prices. I am not saying I want giant plates of food (American style --haha)@--I'm saying I want more food for what they charge. Especially the wine, which was very expensive and was a very skimpy pour. I guess their fancy new digs charge a high rent. So, if price is no object, I recommend for the food.

She was craving Thai food all week for her birthday. I don't blame her, everyone has a food weakness. So I decided to take her out to her favorite Thai restaurant in Colorado. My friend loves this place! So much that me taking her was the 4th time this week for her birthday! haha! I love Thai food, but not as much as her :P This was the first time eating at this restaurant and I was pretty excited knowing how much of a foodie she was. And she was right! Thai Pot Cafe had the best Pad Thai I'd had recently. I automatically know pad thai is not good when the noodles come in a visible sauce, or is dry from no sauce at all. The mixture has to be right. Thai Pot does that! I got my dish with beef, while she got vegetarian since she couldn't have meat for awhile due to personal obligations. And with Thai food, there is always the option for spicy! The scale when the waiter told me was 0 to infinity. I had not heard of that before, so I had to ask for an explanation. I was always just used to ordering my Pad Thai, "as spicy as you can make it!" He told me he loves spicy so told me to try a 30 level. To me, that sounded high, but when eating it, I would say that it was spicy. At the other Thai restaurants, it was always mild, medium, hot and Thai Hot. That level 30 would me more comparable to a medium/hot mix. I still liked it, just was expecting more heat. Might just double the level the next time I come in! lol. The dish overall was just how pad thai should be! My favorite dish to order at Thai restaurants and Thai Pot Cafe does it right :) I always order Thai Iced tea with my meals and it came in a big cup. It wasn't as sweet as other Thai restaurants, but that just made the tea flavor come out a bit more, which tasted great! I will definitely be coming back for more pad thai and I do thank my friend for a great recommendation!

I love Thai food! This place makes amazing Thom Ka. However, I'm really allergic to shellfish, and not one time BUT TWICE, we ordered veggie spring rolls and were given Shrimp.
(3)Alicia N.
Different location; same great food! I've seen some of the negative reviews and am going to consider them a fluke of the adjustment to doubling in size and the move. We had our usual faves - the Panang curry and Drunken noddles and they were both delicious and savory as always. I love the staff, they remain courteous, prompt, and attentive. I admit, I miss the coziness of the old place - the new digs are a bit cavernous and lack the charm of the old - but it's now like other strip mall joints a box in a mall - but the food is still authentic and delicious and the service top notch.
(4)Julia F.
We are from Seattle one of the best American cities for Thai food and hands down this is far superior to anything else we have had in Denver. Thai Pot is by far my favorite restaurant in Denver for asain food. Its a bit far for me but so worth the drive.
(5)Morgan A.
So happy to say I had a great experience here! Two ladies running the floor and bar. A bit slow on service but was made up by how nice and caring they were. Great food and great experience!
(5)Kat Z.
A friend and I decided to try this a couple days ago and the food was fine. I don't typically complain too much about service, but we ordered a couple entrees and it took about 30 minutes to get our food. It was fine, as we had much to catch up on, but I'm just glad I wasn't really hungry. I wouldn't go back though.
(2)Maria L.
Great atmosphere and awesome authentic pad Seew or drunken noodles. Definitely a good stop for lunch or dinner !!!
(5)Elizabeth D.
Okay update time! My first review of this place was only 4 stars because I wasn't satisfied with the 5 or 10 spice level dishes I tried. I have been back multiple times since my first review, and can happily say Thai Pot Cafe can bring some heat! You just need to order more than 10. I have found that 20-25 is perfect for me. Thai Pot Cafe has become one of my favorite restaurants and I find myself coming back again and again craving that heat. Everything I have tried is amazing! Easily one of the best Thai restaurant in Denver, if not THE best. Please do yourself a favor and order the sticky rice and mango next time you vista. It is so freaking delicious and refreshing, and not to mention takes away any lingering thai heat in your mouth after your meal :)
(5)Adam B.
So far, best Thai I've had in Denver. I have a friend who only wants Thai every time we go out to eat, so by now I've been to A LOT of Thai in CO. Now let me explicate on what I mean by best, because some may assume I mean most authentic... But I don't. First off, the spice spectrum they offer you (1-10) is very suburbanized, and much weaker than what you would get in say Thai Basil or Thai Monkey club, etc. I had to order ahead for an Indian friend of mine once and I got him an 8/10, and he told me he couldn't taste anything . I got a 7/10, and could have easily handled a 9/10. So no ballistic levels of spice here, but many will appreciate that. I got one of the curries with potato in it, and it was unbelievably good. Rice was cooked to perfection, sweet and sour type soup that came with it was delicious, and the curry itself was extremely well balanced and flavorful. My fiend got the tropical fried rice (has pineapple, etc) and said it was great. It was like they knew how to cook great Thai, and then rounded it all out with American culinary excellence. Price was perfectly reasonable, and service was a solid A. Top of the line Thai in Denver.
(5)Veggie R.
Great Thai food, friendly service. I find that a lot of Thai restaurants rely on frozen, tasteless, chewy tofu that totally tanks otherwise decent food. Not so at Thai Pot--the tofu is perfect, crispy fried on the outside and soft and delicious on the inside. The drunken noodles are the best I've had anywhere--a must-try.
(5)Dale B.
I would love to talk about the food but after 10 minutes of sitting at the table with no service, I left and will not be returning.
(1)Aaron B.
Great pad thai! Its so hard to find a place that will make it spicy enough for me and not spicy at all for my girlfriend. Their spice scale is unique and goes up to 40 but american spice levels are 1 to 5. The pad thai is moist and flavorfull, the beef tender. Ive ordered from here a few times now and have yet to be less than thrilled. The portion is large and yet i end up eating it all because the flavor is so good. Best thai ive found in denver!
(5)Laura F.
Best Drunken Noodles in Denver! Super helpful staff, and you get to pick the hotness level of your food. Seriously one of my favorite places to eat . Love love love. They are also great for takeout .
(5)Jen M.
Not the best I've ever had, but decent. I liked the decor inside, it was nice. I ordered the drunken noodles, they had a lot of veggies and not many noodles. I was hoping they would be a little more saucy. But overall not bad. The crab rangoon was good and the thai tea was decent.
(4)Anna N.
My friend and I just happened upon this place when we tried Mooyah burgers, which is in the same plaza. We both love Thai food and figured it would be worth a shot. First good sign: they were PACKED. Every table was full, so we ended up sitting at the bar. Even after we sat down, people were constantly pouring through the door. This restaurant clearly has a good reputation. Our waitress was prompt in bringing our drinks out and taking our order. I got the lunch special: chicken pad kee mao (level 2 spicy) with tom yum soup. The soup took a little longer to come out than I would've liked and it was barely warm, but I decided to overlook this point at the time because it was amazing - dare I say one of the best tom yums I've ever had??? Had it come out steaming, I would've given this place 5 stars, hands down. The pad kee mao came out soon after, piping hot, full of deliciousness. Only complaint I have about that is that level 2 spicy means nothing. Not even a tinge of heat. I'll definitely bump it up to like a 5 next time I go. The chicken was cooked thoroughly and was not at all dry, which I've noticed happens a lot with other Thai restaurants. Overall, I have to admit I'm impressed. I'll need to make sure I'm not in such a time crunch next time, but this place definitely deserves another shot.
(4)Paul M.
My wife and I frequent this restaurant often. Lately the service and the kitchen have been quite consistent. Tonight we had steamed pot stickers for an appetizer, pineapple curry and drunken noodles. The service was prompt and attentive and the food was rather good. I'd recommend this place for anyone who is in the neighborhood. It seems they have a great takeout business as well.
(4)Wayne C.
My new favorite Thai restaurant in Denver! Can't wait to try the happy hour out. Love the spice level options. Did to-go once and dive in once for lunch and the special is s great deal! Friendly and knowledgeable wait staff.
(5)Jimmi D.
Always great - new location is a real upgrade with the same charm of the old joint! Consistently a winning locale with fantastic Thai food at reasonable prices. The lunch special is perfect. Thai Pot - Thanks for not losing your cool with the upgrade! Well done!
(4)Angel O.
This Thai food is the best! I've been here 8-10 times. Everything I've tried is delicious and authentic. The Pad Thai is on point (not easy to do). Pad see yew, panang curry, spring rolls, gyoza...all amazing. I won't get thai food anywhere else in Denver. You must try!
(5)Anh L.
I was craving for some pad Thai one afternoon and after looking around my area for a Thai restaurant, I discovered this cafe and decided to stop by. First impression of this place is they have very good customer service. My server was very "enthusiastic(?)" she was like on fire to serve me! I felt welcomed and it boosts my appetite! I ordered pad thai, Thai tea and black rice pudding. The pad Thai tasted 5/5! I've had tasted lots of pad Thai but in my experience, this is the BEST ever. They used tamarind in the sauce and the hint of sourness made this pad thai tasted uniquely different. I would definitely come back for more and recommend this place to anyone who want to taste 5/5 pad thai and pad see ew.
(5)Nathan G.
Thai Pot is a good Thai spot. Tasty food and good service. Not transcendent but overall it is very good. I look forward to more visits in the near future. I prefer Jaya over the Thai Pot but I have no complaints.
(4)Rad S.
I've been here three times in the past two weeks. And I can't stop ordering the drunken noodles. I think I have a problem. I really like the new space. It's a nice blend of "quick serve lunch joint" and "zen". They are remarkably busy, so I must not the be only person who likes it. Thai iced tea and mango sticky rice dessert are highly recommended as well.
(5)Natta L.
This is thr worst restaurant I have ever been to. 3 words for this restaurant 1 -watery 2 -bland 3 -tasteless. We ordered the Green curry and it came out like a water I didnt even see any green color in my green curry AT ALL and the taste was so bland so I asked for fish sauce and more chillies but didnt help so I just gave up! The Tom Kha Soup was also sooo bland with some really tiny chicken and again I added some more chilies to bring some flavor up. We also ordered Pad Thai it was just fine. This will be my first and last time here. This 2 star is for the most friendliest staff.
(2)Nick M.
Very busy on a Friday night for good reason. Great food good service. $11 a chicken noodle plate made extra spicy just the way I like it!
(5)Michele C.
In town for work had an early dinner. App, salad, entree, half off wine. Everything was good including service. I love Thai and I was cautious as I saw no one of Asian descent working or eating when I initially arrived. Food was so good I ultimately didn't care who prepared it, it was so good!
(5)Amanda K.
Best pad Thai in Denver. Love the spice level options. Tom Ka soup is very good as well. Just wish they had delivery.
(5)Cassandra K.
I'm definitely a fan of this clean and bright strip mall joint. The portions were small and the flavors could have been kicked up a bit, and the value for the portion was not great. The service was fast and attentive though, everything was very clean and fresh, and there were an excellent variety of options, including a staggering array of desserts (for a thai place!). GF/ Veg/ DF are all clearly labelled.
(4)Jon T.
Worst service. Food was cold when they brought it out. And the curry had a piece of short dirty blonde hair in it. They said they would take it it back and do something special. Purely it was all talk. Just brought out another dish with less portion. This is not the place to enjoy your meal, especially after how they cannot even make their mistakes right. Everyone makes mistakes and I am very reasonable about that, but that is not the way to do it to make things right.
(1)O. G.
Ok, so I was heading to a Korean restaurant but based on reviews and proximity to my hotel decided to try this little place. The place is located in a very modern building but they have done a decent job at making it feel a little homie. The biggest detracting was a giant flatscreen tv on the wall. Also a little noisy. No bother, I came to eat. The menu is very simple. Basic Thai dishes and some Chinese fusion items... I ordered papaya salad, summer rolls and a green curry. The papaya salad was decently portioned, decent flavor, but very salty. The fresh summer rolls weren't so fresh. They are pre-made and the rice paper roll was dry & stiff. Well made, but don't come here for those. The massaman curry was good. Great level of spice and a variety of vegetables (bamboo shoots, mushrooms and long beans). With respect to service, really nice server, but unfortunately all of the food came out at the same time.
(3)Heidi F.
I love Thai pot cafe! Their pad Thai never disappoints and make sure to save room for their banana rolls. So good! Service is always phenomenal and I have never been disappointed. Best Thai spot in Denver for sure!
(5)Johnna F.
expensive, very disappointing
(1)Zoe E.
We ordered take-out from Thai Pot last night and it was so good! I've been wanting to try it since I've heard a lot of good things about it. I called ~6pm and they said it would be ready in 15 min which was nice since I was expecting a longer wait at that time. We ordered the drunken noodles with pork, hot and sour soup with shrimp, gyoza, and the chicken wings. Everything was delicious and I bet would be even better if we had eaten it at the restaurant straight out of the kitchen! The girl who took my order was really friendly and answered all of my questions and didn't rush me through my order even though I could tell the restaurant was a little busy. The rest of the staff was very nice and friendly as well when I came in. They had my order ready within the promised time frame which is always appreciated. Like I said, we really enjoyed everything we ordered & we'll definitely be back soon!
(5)Lisa M.
I was in the neighborhood and was craving Thai food, so I googled restaurants in the area to check out the reviews. This place had a lot of good reviews and it was literally right down the way from where I was so I went to check it out. When trying a new Thai restaurant I always either order Pad Kee Moa (Drunken Noodles) or Panang Curry, and that is how I make my judgement on the place. This time I had the Drunken Noodles and the Spring rolls, I was impressed! The seasoning of the Drunken Noodles was really good and pretty close to Authentic, however next time I will order it without the eggplant. The spring rolls were really yummy too and the peanut sauce was tasty. It is always really nice to find new Thai restaurants that actually taste authentic and I am glad that I found another! I don't live right down the street from here, but I will definitely make the drive to try it out again.
(4)James D.
Some of the best Thai we have found in Denver. They have moved locations and the new place is huge compared to the last location. Go for sure. My go to at Thai restaurants is Pad se ewe (sp?) and the one here is great. I always intend to share it but that does not always happen...
(5)Aaron B.
Absolutely the best lunch Thai spot in Denver. I've probably eaten here 10 times in the last 5 months and never had a bad meal. I recommend the green curry and the ginger curry. Best part... they do the usual 1 to 5 on heat, but I'd you're adventurous, they will go as high as 40... BE A MAN
(5)Kristi Z.
Been coming here for years. I crave their Drunken Noodles. The new location is nice and the food is just as good. I order my dish American level 2 and my husband orders Thai Hot 30. The servers here are the ones who helped us figure out how to order Thai hot. Each number is one of those tiny spoons of spice. We drive across town to come here, great place.
(5)Ian S.
Have had several of their noodle, rice, and soup dishes, and they've always been consistently delicious.
(5)Lorena A.
It's okay. Solid good food with reasonable price. Even though I only gave them three stars, I'll probably come back to try some of the other items on the menu...I got full with the glass noodle dish I tried. It was a kind of bland but I probably should have picked a higher level of heat. Friendly service.
(3)Lee H.
This Place is Awesome! try the Drunken Noodle! By far this is the best i had in Denver! need to go back try other stuff!
(4)Naveen I.
The price was very reasonable and the food was really good. The Thai Pot Special is very reminiscent of a Basil curry. The coconut sticky rice was amazing and served with a sizable piece of flan which wasn't overly sweet, but was sweet enough to appease the need for dessert. Overall I would say for the price this place was a really good experience.
(5)Geoff G.
Best Thai in Denver. Highly recommend the fried rice, pad Thai, pad see ew, and soups. Great lunch spot that includes an entree with an appetizer. Give yourself time for lunch because it gets crowded during the week, but totally worth the wait. Friendly service with great quality.
(5)Melanie S.
Spontaneously acting on a craving, I found my way here via YELP. It was a bit hard to find tucked back in a newly developed space. The room is light, open and very clean. The service is friendly and efficient. Lunch consisted of Pad Thai with Tofu, crab wonton appetizer and hot ginger tea. I would come back just for the tea, perfectly balanced spivey and sweet. The crab wontons were hot and crispy with a light and flavorful dipping sauce. The pad Thai was well presented and fresh, just the right portion for lunch. I ordered mine medium spicy and will likely kick that up a notch when I return.
(4)Em S.
only legit thai food in all of denver! my best friend grew up in thailand, and when he moved to the states, his mom would spoil us with authentic thai recipes. all have paled in comparison until i came to thai pot cafe - back when it was a hole in the wall restaurant down the street. their curries outdo themselves and i love all the servers and cooks. grateful this place exists in our city! well done!
(5)Kim R.
I'd eat here everyday if I could!! The new location looks great and now has a full bar!! Every menu item I've ever tried has been delicious! My personal favorites are the noodle soup and Pad See Ewe. Highly recommend!
(5)Leyla E.
The food is outstanding. They have gluten free and vegetarian options. I've enjoyed the food, but they are so busy and just understaffed. I went there earlier in the year on a Saturday night. They got so busy that they had to quit answering the phone for to go orders. The service suffers when a place is that busy. I've gone a few times since then. It's not as bad as it was, but they're still pretty busy. I just wish they would hire more people.
(4)Sheri C.
We have eaten here several times now. The food is always fresh and fabulous. It is without a doubt our go to Thai place.
(5)Erin N.
Boring flavor. 26 bucks for takeout two entrees nothing else. They need to ramp up the flavor. I've been to almost all Thai restaurants in Denver and have spent time in thailand. This place needs to pick it up a notch.
(2)Joe C.
Best. Thai. Food. In. Denver. I have eaten here at least 30 times now, and it has literally never disappointed. I have always had very prompt service here as well, carry out orders ready in 15-20 minutes, served hot. The Pad See Ewe is to die for and the Crab Rangoons are just right.
(5)Amy O.
So, I've finally found my spot in the thai world. Drunken noodles and thai iced tea. I'm dreaming about it right now! Thai Pot's new location was packed on a Wednesday for lunch! Good for them. Makes sense after you try their food! I can't wait to go back!
(5)Michael H.
The food and people are amazing. I love the Thai Tom Yum soup. It's out if this world and simple. The staff is always very friendly and fun to talk with. I highly recommend this place. It's really exciting they gave moved to a new location. It's bigger, better and there's more parking.
(5)Lynn B.
My hubby and I were visiting Denver and were stuck in traffic at 6 p.m.in this area. And we were starving. I yelped this place and was amazed we could find parking so easily. It is a bit hard to find at the back of a mid block strip mall, but they had a sign out front and I recognized it from the yelp photo. It was so worth hunting for it. Very cute interior,super friendly service. Seemed very new. They had a good beer selection. I read on yelp that the drunken noodles were good. This dish was fantastic! I've never had so many veggies in this dish like they serve it x- eggplant, green beans,broccoli.... I added chicken and they loaded it in there too, nice tender chunks of white meat. There were hardly any noodles. But the sauce was what has me dreaming of this dish, rich and basily. Wow! The crab Rangoons were good, and the Thom ka gha was very good, but those noodles are worthy of another trip to Denver (I hope soon!)
(5)Kathy P.
I adore this place. I haven't had a bad thing yet. Their pad thai is awesome. The noodles are the perfect consistency. They are great with spice levels. This is the best Thai I've had in Denver so far and we are now frequent customers. One thing I recently learned is that they shop daily so their ingredients are very fresh.
(5)Rick V.
This experience was at the old location on 12/23/13. In Denver for Christmas 2013 and went here for dinner at 5:30. When we arrived the place was empty and we thought we had made a bad choice, but when we left it was packed. The server was great, always a smile and a joke. Instead of the foods spiciness being mild, med., or spicy, as I am accustom to, they go by numbers. 0 being mild and up from there. I ordered 3 and it was pretty mild. Hot tea - 2.50 (tea bag and water) Fat Tire ale - 3.50, glass of wine - 8.00, Pot Stickers (6) - 4.95, Small tom kha chicken soup - 4.95, entrees at 10 and 12. 95. Over all this was a good choice and when in the area again would go back.
(4)Nona S.
We were craving something other than American food and saw the rave reviews for Thai Pot cafe. It was great! All food the food came out quickly. The service was friendly and attentive. And the good was delicious. Yum!
(4)Cara G.
I am giving Thai Pot Cafe 3 stars because I think the food is great but the kitchen is sorely disorganized and in need of immediate attention. The first time we tried the new location they mixed up our order with another table (we were sitting at the bar by the way so I'm not sure how that's possible). Luckily, when they did finally get the order right our meal was delicious and we quickly forgot about the mix up. Our next attempt we tried to order carry out on a Saturday evening and no one ever answered the phone. We decided to go to the restaurant and order there to carry out. The place was packed and the phone was ringing off the hook and going unanswered. Unfortunately, since moving to their larger location their kitchen seems unable to keep up with the demand of the carry-out orders and the dine-in patrons. We were told that our food would not be ready for 45 minutes and we could either cancel our order or come back. We opted to come back only because my mouth had been watering over the Pad Thai for weeks. When we came back for our food and got it home it was luke warm. So disappointed. Unfortunately, I doubt that we will return (even with the free meal voucher we received for our wait time) unless they get better organized and can pick up the phone to take a to-go order. Side note: you know its not a good sign when the staff tells you not to call or try to get in during peak dinner hours especially after telling you it's their last day working there.
(3)Bryan d.
After reading all the great reviews about the crab Rangoon and drunken noodles I was completely underwhelmed with both. Average is the best I can say for all three of our meals. Service was also underwhelming however they were quite busy. Understaffed I'd say was that problem.
(3)Kevin B.
No way this place deserves a 3.5. I was a regular at the old location and tried the new one. Food is just as good but there is more seating. The location is a little odd b/c it is tucked away and not easy to find. We went on the first night it opened so the service was slow but that is to be expected. I've tried all of the noodle dishes and they are amazing. We always went here for takeout and will continue to do so.
(4)Candice G.
Fantastic! This is by far the best Thaj food in Denver. Their new restaurant interior is great too - big, very clean and tastefully designed. The restaurant was bustling when I went there during lunchtime also so appears to have a steady stream of business.
