Thai Café & Noodle Treats

Terrible. The waitress seemed upset that she had to take our order, there were 2 drink options, water and diet coke. We had to repeatedly flag down our waitress to get anything from her (like water refills). When we got there the waitress was just sitting down and there were multiple dirty tables. If you’ve got time to lean you’ve got time to clean. Firing that waitress would do an awful lot to help this place.
Unfortunately that wouldn’t fix everything. Both our meals tasted strongly of kielbasa, or maybe hot dogs. Despite having neither as an ingredient.
$ 13 for a tiny portion (come on, noodles are cheap) was the last bit of injustice. Stay away, i had trouble not telling other customers to run away as they came in, it was that bad.

I tried this for lunch last week with a friend, and we started off unpleasantly surprised at the prices, but we were hungry, so we thought we’d get a couple things & share. I got spring rolls & the Tom Ka Gai soup. The spring rolls were 98% wrapper w/​almost no filling, and the soup, about 2 cups for $ 9, was separated, grey, watery, with a few sad scallions, mushrooms, and rubbery chicken with way too much salt. We couldn’t even eat it.
My friend got a beef curry and we were were literally like «where’s the beef» — maybe 6 little scraps, and a few potatoes for $ 14. The brown rice was decent though.

On a recent trip visiting my friend in Santa Fe, NM. On March 6, 2016, Sunday afternoon, we stop at this Thai Café near Regal Cinemas. As we entered the restaurant, it was foggy inside; they did not have a good ventilation system. We were the only ones in the restaurant at the time. We ordered Satay Chicken, Thai noodle soup with chicken (consist of Rice Vermicelli, vegetable broth, chicken, bean sprout, onion, fresh lime) and Pad Vegetables with chicken which is stir fried vegetables with garlic in a Thai brown sauce (Soy bean based) with Jasmine rice.
When the Satay chicken came out and it looked like they just boiled the chicken and poured some watery liquid that sort of mimic diluted coconut milk.
My Thai noodle soup was bland; they did not even use the right kind of noodles that was indicated on the menu. Instead, they use the same type of noodles as in the Pad Thai dish. I told the waitress that it was not the right kind of noodles. Instead asking if she could have the cook make it right, she acted as if she was offended. I know my noodles and that was not rice vermicelli.
My friend’s Pad vegetable with chicken came out with no taste whatsoever, watery light brown liquid on a bed of broken rice, not the usually whole grain jasmine rice.
This was by far THE WORSE Thai food/​restaurant I ever eaten. They are FAR from Authentic Thai Food.
This place deserves a negative star if there is such an option.

We had not been to Thai Café & Noodle Treats for some time, so we were really looking forward to it. We were greeted nicely, however the restaurant seemed especially cold to all of us. It was not crowded, yet the service was EXTREMELY slow. We were very disappointed by the way in which our food was served. First of all, we waited at least 15 minutes for our tea to arrive. Then, another 10 minutes passed and the waitress delivers only 1 of the meals. (There were 3 of us!) After another 5 minutes or so later, she brings the appetizer we ordered. Then at least 5 minutes (probably closer to 10) goes by before she brings the second meal. Another 5+ minutes and meal number 3 finally arrives. After she waited as long as she did for it, the waitress did not bring her rice with the curry. Another 5 minute wait for that! Seriously? You don’t bring the appetizer first and then bring the 3 meals together? I ordered Pad See Ew. The broccoli was not even warm and seemed almost raw, there was about 3 small bites of chicken in the dish and it was VERY greasy. My husband ordered the Laab Gai. It was good, but not as good as it used to be. Our guest ordered the Mussaman Curry. She did think it tasted good, at least. The potstickers were very good. Overall, this was a disappointing experience and one that will keep us away for a long time, possibly for good. It’s a shame that there is no consistency at this place as I love Thai and am usually on this side of town. The sister restaurant on the other side of town never has this problem, so it must be that the owner is not around.

My boyfriend and I love this restaurant! Their food is so authentic and delicious! We had great service, both the soups and the pad Thai were wonderful. This is our go to when we want Thai food!

I was very disappointed … the salad rolls where just bad, no flavor. The noodle dishes was also just sad. no flavor. If you really love real good Thai food. Don’t bother coming here. I’m was sad :(I say thanks for the gluten free option. .
Don’t waste your money here!

The food here is decent enough and I appreciate the gluten free options but as desperate as I am for Thai food lunch spots near my office, I may never come back. I have been in hospital cafeterias that have more charm than the bare bones cheap table and chair interior at this place. I mean put a little effort into your business please! Their lunches are completely overpriced. I just paid $ 18 for a small soup and noodle dish. They have lunch specials which are dine-​in only as if you must be punished by their awful interior to save a few dollars. When I asked if I could pass on some of this feedback to the manager or owner, the waitress said it wouldn’t do any good and wouldn’t bother giving me their contact. Go to Thai Vegan instead!

230pm… the only patrons in this place. Greeted by a weird woman with short red hair, definitely in need of Ritalin. After our experience I can understand why this place was completely empty on a Thursday afternoon.
If I didn’t have to give any stars, I wouldn’t. This was the absolute worse restaurant experience I’ve ever had in any restaurant in my entire life. The manager/​waitress/​jack of all trades, etc… was so weird and rude and then accused my family of trying to get a free meal when all I did was ask how the food was cooked because there was absolutely no flavor whatsoever in the chicken or broccoli. It’s like the sauce at the bottom of the plate was just soy sauce mixed with corn starch to thicken it up. Then my first tea cup was full of lipstick, got a second that was dirty on the inside with tea stains which she retorted that the cup was clean because she had washed it many times herself. I must say from the first moment we walked in the door the experience went from strange to flat out weird! The woman definitely needs meds. She even kept staring out at us through the kitchen door window, which I found creepy. So after a $ 50 ticket, which we paid in full, she was still so crazy rude yelling at us and telling us bye kids with this wild eyed look in her eyes. My poor kids were so scared my daughter was ready to cry.
A waste of time and money!!! Do NOT eat at this place!!! Btw, too bad the cup with the lipstick photo didn’t save when I had to exit the app to answer a text.

I hate giving negative comments, but I showed up, and there was only one other lady there. She left five minutes into my visit, which only left me. If it was busy, I wouldn’t complain but it’s JUST ME. The waitress never checked on me. She took me order, and gave me my food. I needed to look into the kitchen window, the kitchen had about 5 people in it, just to get a drink refill, which I had been patiently waiting for 7 minutes for. There’s no reason for ONE customer to be neglected. Food was ok, I ordered the pad Thai. I wish service wasn’t horrible, though.

It was ok. My husband and I were just across the way at a store when we spotted this place. We love Thai food but this place made us feel pretty underwhelmed with the lack of background music, the décor, the food (just had amazing Thai last week in Albuquerque do the bar was set pretty high). We both ordered the Pad Mee with medium heat, mine with shrimp and his with beef. When the dishes came out they looked pretty good but there was a clear difference in portion size between our 2 plates, mine clearly having almost twice the amount as what was on his plate. The pad mee was ok. The flavor was kind of one note without much depth. Honestly I think the flavor of the chili flakes saved it. The green onions weren’t cooked in the dish but thrown in more like an afterthought.
The restaurant itself was kind of strange. Granted it was 3pm but we were the only ones in the whole place. The waitress said they aren’t busy anymore because the tourist season is dying down. ?
When you walk in it doesn’t have the feel of a restaurant; no hostess stand or anything directing us on whether we wait to be seated or seat ourselves. Oh, I’m sure y’all will be happy to know that the random plant in the middle of the restaurant, mentioned in past reviews, isn’t there anymore.
Anyway, food was ok, ambiance was warehouse ish, place was empty. It’s not on our list to go back.

This place is the best. I find myself dreaming of their egg rolls and pad Thai. Good service, good food, and super fast. Love it.

Food is decent, but the service is F’ing horrible! There is no kids menu, and they would not offer any suggestions or accommodations for a child’s plate. The place is always empty and the atmosphere is depressing. We only go there to support local businesses, and b/​c the food is tastey, although the portions are somewhat small considering the prices. This last time our server was VERY rude, and had no interest in helping us enjoy our experience, though she has waited on us plenty of times. They DO NOT deserve your business.

I’ll admit the atmosphere of this place is pretty weird, so don’t bring anyone here that isn’t game for a laugh. It was very awkwardly silent and there IS a weird potted plant in the middle of the floor (saw this in an earlier review).
BUT the food was incredible. The spicy fried rice is the best I’ve ever had and I LOVE fried rice. Also tried a spicy lemon shrimp soup that was really unique and addictive. We found this place on a whim but if I lived here this would definitely be a regular spot for me.
Check this place out!

Ambiance: Empty warehouse with cheap furniture and a potted palm on the middle of the room.
Soup: Thin, canned coconut milk with a few thin strips of chicken. Decently spicy and savory, but so is canned soup.
Tea: Trader Joe’s tag hanging from the pot.
Staff: Shy, inattentive, and reeking of laundry detergent. (Note: nothing personal intended, but that smell is gross when you’re expecting to smell, say, your food when it’s brought out to you and instead you’re hit with a nose full of Tide).
Avoid. Assuming you even get the chance to think of coming here, since this place will probably be belly up within a year.

We are from Las Vegas, NV. and have EXCELLENT Thai food so maybe we were expecting too much. We got it to go because the dog was in the car and we didn’t look at it until we got back to the RV. I got curry with tofu and vegetables and the jasmine rice was like wallpaper paste. The curry was ok, and my husband said his chicken pineapple fried rice was OK — that the chicken was plentiful with decent flavor. The girl taking the order suggested their «fresh rolls» and they were nasty in our opinion. They come with tiny shrimp that were very fishy. The sauce served with it was excellent but still couldn’t eat them. If we lived here we wouldn’t go back– they also didn’t include or offer chop sticks or soy sauce

Stopped in from out of town and couldn’t be more pleased. We had the fried rice, flat noodles and pad Thai noodles. All four of us ranked it a 5 stars. And all 4 meals were gluten free too!

I find it I ironic that they have a letter from the owner at the back of the menu that he is talking about food have the spicy taste and favor but I did not find that. he said he came from center of Bangkok but all food seems like not from Thai style. The owner need to improve their food, I understand this place (Santa Fe) probably hard to find Thai ingredients but at least the Thai owner should practice his chefs or try to make food like a Thai style I order SA-​TAY chicken it was small thin of chicken and come with 3 pieces, the soup Tom kha shrimp, comes with 2 small pieces of shrimps, omg it is not reasonable price, the worst thing of my experience today is Pad-​Cha it doesn’t look like Pad Cha in Thai style they put broccolis (a lots) the real pad Cha doesn’t have broccolis. It should be spicy and a lot of herbs. Pad see ew was so sweet no favor anymore and they streamed broccolis on the side of the pad see ew. It supposes to stir fry together with noodle. All of food today was terrible that I have ever had before I’m LA people. last year I went here and stop by the Thai café one in downtown Santa Fe, at that time it was terrible as well. This time was an accident for me because this place is the same owner I try to find another place but this is only Thai place open in this weekend. so sorry guys I need to give the one star to tell another customer before they decide to visit the most worst Thai place in USA.

The food was terrible I stopped this place because I felt Thai food today it was not spicy and it was not good taste like another thai places. I need to put one star for you guys. This made me the bad experience to travel Santa Fe

This place is fantastic! I mean it! I ordered the glass noodle (silver noodle) dish and it was the perfect example of what healthy, well portioned thai food should be. All of the ingredients tasted SO good together. I like to call myself a glass noodle connoisseur and this dish is at the top of my list. So simple and so delicious. And ohmygosh my mom got the Masaman Curry with Tofu and it was honestly one of the best Masaman curries I’ve had! The flavor was UNREAL. Not overwhelming, not overly peanut-​y, just perfect. The owner was so sweet and friendly and we felt very welcome. She was born and raised in Bangkok and told us she is so passionate about her food and flavors — she spends the extra money to make sure she has the best sugar and the best coconut milk and it is definitely worth it. I highly recommend this place!

When I have a very good or very bad experience I post. This was bad! Horrible service as well, long red hair waitress argued with me and sad «I don’t care» that’s clear, the cook nor the staff care about putting out quality food.
Don’t waste your money or time.
Ordered Pad Thai that was greasy and bland. And chicken satay which were both horrible! The grill was dirty and left burnt bits of char on the chicken.
Total waste of money and time. Not worth one star!

Food was very good. I really liked the flavor in the beef salad. Pricey for the amount you get.

I love the food. Take out or dine in the staff is always friendly. We have had a hiccup or 2 in service, but it is always made up or with great food. And ask about frequent diner perks. If you live near by this is a great takeout option.
I have read reviews about how spicy the food was… Thai food is often spicy because of Thai chili’s. Get chills on the side and order it mild with the option to control your spice. Also they have directions on the menu for what items are spicy, sometimes a dish is spicy, no matter what you do to it. These are traditional recipes.

The food was way too spicy! We ordered medium and got 10 alarm hot. Then we sent the plates back because we couldn’t eat it and they charged us for them and had to call the manager to have them taken off the bill. Bad food and the waitress. was so impersonal.

Wonderful food — fresh and quick. Waitress was friendly and prompt. Wish them tons of success!
