At noon on a Friday afternoon, Dancing Noodle Thai Cuisine, a tiny storefront restaurant in an unassuming strip mall, is anything but dancing. It deserves to be packed, though, because the Thai dishes turned out here shimmy, spin and sway with penetrating, provocative flavors that don’t just dance, but sing, too — loud and proud. […]

You’ll wait for twenty minutes, maybe thirty, sometimes even forty before it’s finally your turn to step up and order from She Who Won’t Be Rushed, the conversational but don’t-push-me Thai woman who single-handedly commands the sensational Thai Food Cart on the 16th Street Mall. And once you’ve made it to the front of the […]
Looking for good Chinese takeout? Then look no further than this small, family-owned Aurora restaurant, which offers dine-in, takeout and delivery service within a five-mile radius. There really is nothing better than settling in for a Netflix marathon with waxy white boxes filled with fried rice and crab-cheese wontons. East China has an impressively large […]
Thai Pepper is a storefront with just ten tables and a cash register stuck in one of those strip malls that only Aurora can produce, with tiny joints offering Mexican, Thai and Persian fare tucked between the tanning salons and international travel agencies. Thai Pepper’s food is plain, simple and blissfully good — and its […]
Head for Edgewater if you like your Thai spicy. US Thai Cafe brings the heat with force and flavor, but it’s not just a gimmick. Thai chiles enhance and balance massive amounts of other spices – galangal, lemongrass, garlic, kaffir lime leaf and ginger, to name a few. Curries are thick with the pulverized pulp […]

Formerly a Thai Basil outlet, Thai Garden is now an independent operation, but it still serves the same sweet-sour chicken, coconut-milk chicken soup, uncomplicated curries and rice mounded into pyramids to curious diners unfamiliar with authentic Thai food. For those with no taste for these introductory versions of the Thai dishes offered here, there are […]
Pho Fusion covers four countries with a thirty-dish menu that includes pho, hot-and-sour and wonton soups, simple shrimp-lettuce-and-noodle spring rolls and deep-fried Vietnamese pork egg rolls. The food is fast, filling and good. Owner Tom Bird is deeply rooted in Denver’s Vietnamese community, and he’s onto something here — maybe the formula for a fast-food […]
This fast Thai/Chinese spot that also offers a smattering of Vietnamese and Japanese dishes has settled into a steady, confident track since it opened in 2003 (it was originally named Spicy Basil until a 2024 name change, though management remains the same). The kitchen produces all the standards of urban Amerasian cuisine and occasionally reaches […]
Surin Thanon, a native of Chiang Mai in northern Thailand, took over Thai Flavor in 2004, preserving the name, the unceremonious, bubble-gum-hued entrance and the sparsely decorated dining room. She breathed life back into the menu, though, bringing her capable touch to such standards as pad Thai and curries, and adding specialties from her home […]
This is the first and most expansive of three Tuk Tuk eateries to translate the Thai street-food concept into American fast food. The dishes all celebrate freshness, flavors, textures and colors, with an emphasis on noodle bowls, grilled or barbecued meat and chopped-to-order salads. Spend a few minutes with the sushi menu as well, which […]
Tasty starters and intense curries are the hallmarks of this excellent Thai eatery. The setting is strip-mall casual, but once you’re inside you’ll forget everything but your insatiable desire to eat every chile-laden item in the place. Don’t miss the red jungle curry, but be sure to have a beer handy to cool down your […]

Taste of Thailand was one of metro Denver’s first Thai restaurants when it opened in Englewood in 1994, and since its move to South Broadway in 2015, it’s remained one of the best. Chef/owner Noy Farrell visits her home country regularly, touring Thailand on the hunt for new flavors and trends. Light and vibrant salads […]
