Reviews for Thai Spoon in Durham, NC
Ate at Thai Spoon a couple of years ago and then again recently. Our first experience was ok. Our second experience was not... good. Service was poor, portions were very small and the flavor was not as good. Plus it seemed extremely expensive for what weordered. We have now found another Thai restaurant that has better food and service. Read more
Absolutely my favorite Triangle Thai restaurant. The staff is so nice and the Litchi Duck Curry is so delicious
The food here was great! We waited a little bit because there were only two people working but ince they notice we were there... they were very friendly and the food was great and the amount of food served was plenty. I will definitely be returning. Read more
The reviews do not do this place justice. It is SO GOOD !! The coconut soup was so flavorful and the red curry was the best I?ve... had in NC. The pad see ew and spicy cashew nut were so good. I will be coming back often Read more
It's a nice place to sit and dine in. I ordered chicken in red curry and had a small shrimp tom yum soup. They were both... delicious. Not too spicy- just how i like it. I also ordered the Thai tea (I forgot to take the picture). That was good. Theprice for the food was not bad. I'm from out of town and had tried another Thai place in NC that sucks and was not authentic. This place did not disappoint. Read more
TL;DR Get the Por Pia, Fresh Shrimp Basil Roll, Pad Thai, Thai Fried Rice, any of the curries, or peanut sauce beloved. Avoid... Tom Yum soup and the Pad spicy chili. Apparently there's a character limit on Google reviews, so you're missing out on the longpreface about Lowes messing up our appliance delivery, but that's why we ate at Thai Spoon every day for a few weeks. We wrotedown a rating (1-5) for each meal, which I'll share below. But first, a few words about the owner. After the first few days, hestarted throwing in free soup with my order. When I said we also like spring rolls (cough cough) he was, "WAIT RIGHT THERE" andgot me some. I'm sure he appreciated the business in the middle of the pandemic, but that was just going above and beyond. Mostof the entrees can be made vegetarian (and probably vegan) Appetizers Por Pia (spring rolls) - 5 stars. These are really good.The stuffing is fresh, and the outside is crispy. It comes with three medium-small rolls. Crispy Tofu - 4 stars. It's just friedtofu with a good dipping sauce, but it's a pretty large dish, so good value. Fresh Shrimp Basil Roll - 5 stars. Pro tip - youcan ask to substitute tofu for shrimp. These are absolutely delicious and might be my favorite thing on the menu. Only downsideis they are pretty pricey for the amount of food you get. Tempura - 3.5 stars. Vegetarians, sub tofu for shrimp. This is a largedish, but it's just ok. It's kind of greasy and bland, but I think that's just how tempura is? It's the same as any othertempura I've had. Crispy mushroom - 4 stars. This is basically the same dish as the tempura, but with mushrooms. It's much worsevalue though, so if you're in the mood for something fried, I would go with the tempura. Soup Tom Yum ? 1 star. This was NOTGOOD. I can?t say what it was exactly that we didn?t like, but both my partner and I were like ?uh uh, no, not eating that.? TomKha ? 4.5 stars. This was much better. Generous servings of tofu, and the broth is exc Read more
This is one of the triangles best kept secret Thai food restaurants, I love going here on a cold rainy day and having coconut... curry soup and hot Thai noodles. The service here is really good and the food always taste great and exceptionally wellseasoned. The staff are amazing and really nice and the prices are a great value too. I really recommend anyone looking forauthentic Thai food to come here and dine and trust you will be back again and again. Read more
Really delicious food. An ideal takeout spot! Everything we have tried has been good, but we particularly like the pan fried... dumplings, the drunken noodles, and the peanut beloved with beef. Peanut beloved is basically satay beef (or whatever proteinyou choose) but with more peanut sauce, some veggies and peanuts on top. Delicious. The portions are not as big as you might getelsewhere (as in you may not have leftovers) but the flavor and convenience to Rougemont make it well worth it! Read more
