Thai Cafe - West Adams — Restaurant in Temple

Went here on a Tuesday with my wife and daughter and we were really disappointed! The atmosphere is nice and rustic, but quality and pricing were lacking! The appetizers we ordered were crab rangoon and veggie spring rolls which both were cold in the middle and not worth 16 dollars each (for an order of 5). i ordered the coconut crab curry 35 dollars because it says lump crab and they ordered the pad thai which was way to spicy for them to enjoy. My crab curry had little to no meat in it,and very sweet, so I asked for soy sauce to balance out the sweet and they gave me sweet soy, which is a glaze for other things. I asked the lady why was this soy sweet after I put it in my food, and she he said she would ask the kitchen, and they told her it was a sweet soy sauce. There is a difference between sweet soy glaze and salty soy sauce, but what do I know ? I was really hoping to like this place because I usually have to travel to Belton for the Thai food at Narunya‘s, which is always good, but this place was closer to home. Its unfortunate, but we wont ever eat here again. Small overpriced portions, over spiced foods,and cold spring rolls and the total was over $100 for three of us, and not one of us finished the food!. I actually went next-door and bought a sub from Jersey Mike’s afterwards Would not recommend! Try Naruna’s in Belton, you won’t be...

For this year's birthday celebration, the family treated me to savory Thai food. This newer location is actually the second opening of Thai Cafe, at a few months old.  (Their original Cafe is in Downtown Temple with a casual ambiance.)

The menu is different between both locations. I loved the dishes we chose and devoured at this newer spot. We went with dumplings and fresh oyster shots for starters; pad see ew, basil fried rice and yellow chicken curry for main dishes; then a sweet raspberry crème brulée.

Thi (pronounced tee) is the owner and chef, who always welcomes us with warmth and smiles. I give him commendation for remembering us, since we hadn't seen him for about two years.

It's beautiful how they've brought natural elements inside the restaurant, yet still appearingly has a more formal flare. The central focus upon entry is a lovely elongated wooden table with a tree. There are nice touches placed on the ceiling above the bar and detailed paneling on the side walls.

Superbly done: food, ambience, service, and...

We just went here on a whim because we had no other place in mind. Glad we did. The food is absolutely fantastic. A little bit on the pricy side, but it is all about perspective. The food came out quickly, and the vegetables and meat were fantastic. I had the shrimp and it was as good as I’ve had anywhere. The ambience and decorations are really upscale and nice in here. Much less expensive than if we were eating a similar place in New York City. Someplace to eat a really nice dinner with your sweetheart with very soft nice music in the background in a nice optical...
