Khow Thai Cafe

My partner and I had just moved to Boulder from Berkeley and this was the first Thai place we tried (it was open on Memorial Day). The first thing I noticed were sticky, dirty tables. I spread out my napkin on the table so it wouldn't get on me. I ordered "#29 (OK this website doesn't like the real spelling but I had "Pad Key Mow " and my partner ordered "#27 pad see ewe ". The noodles were not normal Thai thick rice noodles but reminded me of Italian linguine/egg noodles, if you can picture it. The taste and texture were really awful. I was only able to eat 3 bites before I had to stop. Unless you have a stomach of steel, I do NOT recommend this dish. I was sick that night. This was the worst Thai food I have ever tasted. My partner, who usually demolishes "Pad See-ewe" in Berkeley, only ate about half of it and the rest was thrown out. This place apparently has won best Thai food in Boulder for years. One could assume this is due to its proximity to the University (we found similar award-winning trends in Berkeley). If not, then I will NOT be eating Thai food in Boulder. If this is the best this city has to offer, I'll pass on it altogether! The waiter was prompt but did not know specifics about the menu, nor was he aware of the student discount advertised via a huge banner on the front of the building. It took us an extra 25 minutes to pay because of this confusion, and he had to change our check twice. I don't recommend this place to anyone, and I certainly won't be returning ever again.

Awesome food and friendly staff. Khow Thai is my favorite restaurant in Boulder.

Great local spot - no beer on menu unfortunately, but hands-down best Thai in Boulder. Authentic, tasty, the real thing.

Very delicious, easily the best Thai restaurant in Boulder. Highly recommended.

Amazing...fast, friendly service and the food was really good....not greasy and fried...very light and really filling....we could have split one dish, highly recommended.
