Cherry Thai Cafe — Restaurant in Aurora

I cannot get over how good this restaurant is!! I have been here many many times and have come to find a few staples that I order near every single time. My girlfriend and I almost always start with the Satay Chicken appetizer which comes with a delicious peanut sauce, although from time to time its a bit thick which I think happens because it isn't always as warm and thickens as it gets cooler. The only down side to this appetizer is the size. It comes with 4 chicken skewers that are a little small for sharing and definitely more fit for 1-2 people, although it is even a little small if sharing between only 2 people. The Panang curry is a must-try, always thick, creamy and spiced right. The Green curry is delicious as well, although personally I find the Panang to have a little more flavor/spice, but if you like your curry on the milder side then the Green curry is a perfect dish. The size of the curries here are adequate and will most likely leave you not hungry, but sometimes I do find myself wanting more. The Tom Kha soup here is something that I get every now and again and it is good as well. It tastes authentic and has that delicious creamy coconut milk consistency and on top of that it never has too much of the red oil floating on the top of the soup (I have been to places where the entire top of the soup is this red oil and it changes the flavor/consistency drastically). Cherry Thai actually ranks in my top 5 Thai restaurants in the Denver Metro area and I am always surprised that it is never too packed, we always get sat right away and it is usually a nice quiet atmosphere. While I don't mind the restaurant never being packed since it means the service is fast and wonderful, this business deserves the rush and flow of customers I have seen at places that dont even rank on my list. I hope you try this place very soon, if you are reading this to decide whether to go, I would say do not hesitate and go...

Cherry Thai has quickly become my favorite restaurant! The food is wonderful every single time, flavorful and spicy (if you want) and always hot. Their spice scale is more accurate than anywhere else. If you're looking for true "Thai spicy," you'll find it here. Fair warning: This is NOT the same as "extra spicy" in American terms. A 10 here is SPICY!

Some of our favorites are the Crab Cheese Rangoon, the Pad See Ew, and the Mango Sticky Rice. The rangoon are huge and packed (literally overflowing) with actual ingredients like crab, not just bland cream cheese like almost every other place out there. The Pad See Ew is perfectly flavored as well and loaded with the protein of your choice. The Mango Sticky Rice is delicious, crisp sweet fruit and creamy coconut milk!! Just thinking about this dessert makes my mouth water...

The only thing I've found that I don't recommend is ordering the Calamari if you're getting it to go. It doesn't travel particularly well. To be fair, I've not tried it fresh yet and I've heard that it's quite popular.

The prices are phenomenal, especially with these portion sizes and food quality. We can get a huge appetizer (the Rangoon alone could make a meal for at least one person), two entrees (aka four meals), two Thai Iced Teas, plus a dessert for easily less than $50.

The service is perfect. Everyone is exceptionally nice, and best of all, they don't hover. So, if you're looking for a nice quiet place to enjoy your food and company without the constant interruptions, this is it. If you prefer the constant check-ins, I recommend either being a bit more patient (it'll be worth it!) or just ordering To Go.

They do deliver on their busiest nights. When you call to place your order, just ask if they're delivering that night. Otherwise, it's absolutely worth it to make the trip to pick up or eat in the restaurant!

We're so very glad they...

This has been our go-to for Thai food for almost a year and a half since we've lived here, unfortunately the past few times have been just plain bad experiences! We ordered sushi via their website online and my husband went to pick it up. After waiting almost 20 minutes, someone finally came over and told him that they don't have sushi tonight! They said they forgot to take sushi off their menu because they weren't offering it tonight. Don't you think if a order comes through that has sushi on the ticket, you should probably CALL your customer and let them know that you don't have sushi so they don't drive all the way there and sit for 20 minutes before telling them... Or maybe even when the customer arrives and says they are there to pick up the food you could say, oh I'm so sorry but we couldn't make your order!? So instead, my husband orders us two pad thai, one with zero spice. He gets it home and the top says "6"... the food that was supposed to be no spice was hotter than the 5 we ordered! This is now the second time it happened- A week and a half ago we had the same order and the order was spicier than the medium! Thai food is not cheap, between this meal and the last is $40 of food that can't be eaten from this place in 2 weeks. The first time I was willing to eat the cost, but between this and the sushi situation is enough. I have no idea what happened to this place, but after this ridiculous experience, we sadly will not...
