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 […]
Thai in Denver
Showing 23 - 35 of 35You’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 […]
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 […]

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 […]
Thai Pot Cafe got its start in a small space on South Colorado Boulevard and moved into its current large and airy home a few blocks away in 2014. While there’s a lot to love on the menu, it’s the drunken noodles that have become a best seller. There’s always a nice char on the […]
Utumporn Killoran had been running the Thai Street Food Cart on the 16th Street Mall for years before she finally got her own brick-and-mortar spot in 2011 — a space in Aurora that she uses as a carry-out-only restaurant. Killoran hails from the Isaan region of Thailand, which is up north and close to the […]
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 […]
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 […]

It recently got a refresh and a new name, Yolee J Filipino & Thai Restaurant, though it’s still under the same ownership. Expect familiar Thai standards like pad […]
