Things to Know

US Thai Cafe is a family-run Thai restaurant in Edgewater known for its authentic, highly flavorful dishes and exceptional pad Thai that has earned a loyal following over two decades.

This is a no-frills neighborhood favorite where the food is consistently excellent and transportive, but expect a loud, bustling dining room and spice levels that pack real punch even at medium heat.

  • Pad Thai ranks among the best in the Denver metro area, even according to Thai food connoisseurs
  • Drunken Noodles, chicken pot stickers, and appetizers like chicken satay and pork shrimp dumplings are standouts
  • The spice levels are authentic and genuine—medium heat is genuinely spicy, not watered down
  • Family-run operation with 20+ years of consistency and quality that keeps customers returning
  • The dining room is loud with hard floors that amplify chair noise, making it uncomfortable for those with sound sensitivities
  • At least one reviewer received the wrong protein (chicken instead of pork) and experienced dismissive service about the error

I've been coming here for nearly 20 years and after stopping by again last week, the food is still absolutely amazing and super flavorful. The pad Thai is some of the best in the metro area and even overheard some other patrons say the same thing when I was there. The heat index is real here as well as most people will be fine with mild+ or medium level spice but hot is a tonsil melter! Try it out next time you're in Edgewater!

10/10 for the food; I’m a Thai connoisseur and this place was where I believe I originally fell in love with Thai food. Even the medium is pretty spicy! The dining room is loud so if you have sound sensory issues, order your food to go or try for outdoor seating. The chairs scooting on the hard floor is ear piercing.

Hidden gem of a family run and well crafted Thai dining. We especially love the Drunken Noodles, chicken pot stickers, but haven’t had a meal be a disappointment yet.

The food was good. But I ordered pork and got chicken. The server said ‘it looked pork to me’. They offered to make a new one but still denied that it is pork. But it is chicken and I tasted chicken. I know the difference of chicken and pork.
