We made a pick-up order at Erawan Thai Café and were absolutely delighted! From the moment we walked in, the chef/owner was running the entire place by himself—answering phone calls, taking orders, and preparing the food. Despite doing it all, he greeted us with warmth and took the time to show us how to enjoy the food so they would taste their absolute best! Our order was ready exactly when he promised, and the flavors were fantastic! I loved this place! If you’re looking for delicious Thai food and truly attentive service, this café is a gem! I highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The food was delicious (best Thai food I’ve had in Denver easily), the owner was super kind and even taught me etiquette and how to eat Thai food properly! It was super cozy and homey there. I will definitely be coming back.

Went on a Saturday night and the chef was the only person working in the entire restaurant. He was friendly, and the space itself felt cozy, but unfortunately that’s where the positives ended. The soup I ordered was very bland, with minimal vegetables and plain chunks of boiled chicken. My partner’s curry was extremely sweet and ended up giving her a stomach ache. Our food was served in half-torn takeout boxes, and the plastic utensils provided weren’t sturdy enough to eat the meal properly. A dessert was brought out that we hadn’t confirmed ordering, though it was decent. Overall, the food was overpriced for both the quality and portion sizes. I usually try to focus on the positives, but at a certain point there needs to be some awareness of the quality being served. I’m sorry to say this was one of the worst restaurant experiences I’ve had.

It seemed that it was takeout only but the man there checked our vaccination cards and allowed us to eat in. The cook was the only one there and he was very kind. Made our lunch quickly and then taught us the correct way to eat it. The food was absolutely phenomenal. The Thai tea was great as well.
