Anyone that rated this lower than 5 stars didnt try the beef boat bowl! Incredible restaurant with "hole in the wall" vibes. The owners were gone for 1 week for the holidays and I was having withdrawals. I drove by every day anticipating their return. Authentic Thai owners as well!

This was my first time eating at Chada Thai (takeout order), and it will sadly be my last. Although the service was excellent, and the food was tasty, its tough justifying paying $45 for two very small entrees and a side order of rice. Photo for reference. Quarter is pictured for scale.

The vegetarian Panang curry is excellent. The service is friendly and the wait time short. Chada Thai is a Denver staple and uptown gem! 🍛💕

The food from here made us human again on a cold winter day after a long day at the museum. Really sweet staff and truly, very good food. If you can handle spice, order hotter than medium. I ordered medium as it was my first time here and there was barely a tingle. Still so so so so good though. And it warmed us up from the deepest parts of our heart out. On that note, it was probably low 30s outside and the dining room was very cold. There is a high wall mounted heater that kicked on after we sat down, but it didn't stay on long and as soon as it turned off, the dining room was totally freezing again. And lastly, the tea came out barely lukewarm. It was ordered because it was cold outside and cold in the dining room and it didn't help.
