Khow Thai Café — Restaurant in Boulder

Literally the only thing good here is the service. The waitress was super nice. 😊 the signs say best rated food but this was over 25 years ago so it’s deceiving for sure. We were served these egg rolls but they hit the table ice cold so I couldn’t even eat it. Then the table tea came it was very odd. Hot water with rocks is the best way I can explain it. Sadly the meal came and it was this thick brown sauce which is shocking as is but it wasn’t thick sticky yummy sauce it was watery thin. The chicken tasted so terrible I couldn’t even finish more than that first bite. It was almost stale and rotten taste. I literally am the type of person who will eat whatever just so I don’t hurt anyone’s feelings and I can down almost anything. But no I couldn’t even eat more than one bite of anything here. It’s not okay to come on here and say the food is amazing when it’s not. Normal hard working people spend out hard earned money here because we see good reviews. That’s not okay! They say you can tell a lot about a place by the bathrooms I won’t even go there but the place was dark and cold literally we all wore coats the entire time. There was thick white ooze all over the walls near the bathroom which definitely did it for me. Just coming on here to leave an honest review if your craving Thai food just do your research and don’t trust awards that were given 23 years ago. No offense to this place they need to first of all scrub down the whole place with bleach, start there I mean there’s no one in the place why isn’t it clean. Add some heat. Being cold makes your body less hungry. And upgrade your decor around the place take down them 25 year old awards it’s so tacky. They are yellow and peeling which is unattractive. We eat with our eyes first. Upgrade that damn menu and for god sake serve hot crispy egg rolls. Anyways find out for yourself if you dare. Or don’t I don’t care. I won’t be...

I think that the sign on the front of the store says it all: "Best Thai Restaurant of 2017." There is something authentic-tasting about the food, though its preparation needs some work. The Pad Kee Mow was really delicious, though it has some very large bits and some smaller bits that are at different levels of doneness. The noodles themselves are perfectly cooked and seasoned, I think that this is the dish you should try. The red, yellow, and green curries are also decent, kind of on the watery and less-curry-flavored side compared with others in Boulder. The rice feels like low quality rice from China, not jasmine rice. Not much chicken in the curries, and some big chunks of eggplant that just don't go with the rest of it. Not enough coconut milk in the curries to keep them from being soupy. Generally it all feels uneven; unevenly cooked, cut, and seasoned, but with some flashes of...

Unfortunately this place seems to be going downhill. I ordered the Pad Kra Prau, thai hot. It came out in a thick brown sauce that had a pretty offputting combination of vanilla-sweet and like a dirty grease flavor. I ate one of the bell peppers that had a moldy flavor and I stopped eating them. I just ate the pork, onions and rice, and really forced myself to eat that much because I didn't like the flavor. I was hungry and didn't want to make a fuss. It was really barely medium hot... but I wouldn't care if the flavor was just at least good. I'm not trying to put down the restaurant because I've been going here for at least 15 years, but I'm seriously disappointed. I really don't understand what's going on here, because the owner was right there in the kitchen. Something's amiss. I'm sorry but it's going to be awhile before I...
