Thai Landing Cafe

Best kept secret Thai restaurant. Price is right. Food is flavorful but not tongue numbing. Proprietor is super nice. Don’t let the space scare you. Much better then some of the better known spots and very authentic.

It’s hard to find good Thai food, but this place is great. Penang curry just how it should be and prices that can’t be beaten!

Good spicy comfort food. Fairly priced. Friendly staff. I’d definitely come here again. I had the green curry with beef, it was perfect!

Recently spent a week in Denver. Discovered this place because the other place would not take my order 50 minutes prior to their closing time. Too busy.
Thai Landing was excellent. I went back two more times (total of three) without considering that other place.
The green papaya salad was great. I had the red curry and the green curry. Both were bright and flavorful.

Don’t be fooled by the modest hole-​in-​the wall appearance — this place has some of the freshest and most flavorful Thai food you are going to find anywhere. Everything is made from scratch, and the value is amazing. The soups are fantastic, and the spicy fried fish (ask for the whole fish, not the filet) was an absolute treat. The surroundings are pretty basic, but the food is five stars.

Its official this place is fire! the man who cooked the food is straight outta Thailand… the best chicken pad thai in denver guaranteed.

Not really sure what is happening right now. We were at Thai Street Food the other day and saw a huge Lollicup sign! Say what?!? I’ve been driving all the way to a further Lollicup for boba?! Decided to give it a try.
When we pulled up, we realized it’s Thai Landing Café and they have Lollicup inside. Since we were already here, we figured we would try some food as well.
We walked in and weren’t greeted. Not even sure if anyone was there. We went over to look at the menu and saw 2 people back in the kitchen and then they finally said hi.
The woman was really nice and friendly. The man on the other hand was just kind of there. He took our bubble tea order and didn’t let us finish ordering. My boyfriend got so confused and asked if they are serving food and the man just stared at him and said yes.
For no one being in there, they took a little longer than I thought but it wasn’t like what everyone else was saying. While we were waiting, another customer (or so I thought) came in and he just handed the guy cash for some coin rolls and left. I was a little confused…
Verdict? Almond milk tea is good. Flavor is there. The boba itself, a little inconsistent. Some are really good and then some have a weird jelly like texture? The pad see ew, not bad but not worth the price. The portion was a little small and they used a lot of fish sauce.
Might be back for the bubble tea. Food, probably not so much. And they could probably use a remodel soon. Or a deep clean. Either one.

What a shocking surprise, and in nothing but a good (even great) way.
Came here, intending to go to the other Thai place, and actually mistook this one for the other. What luck!
A tiny restaurant, mostly cluttered and certainly old and in need of a good cleaning. Staff that was polite with a thick accent and a smile.
But the FOOD. Oh man. The food blew me away. Tasty, unique, flavorful, spicy, blah blah blah, I could just throw a bunch of adjectives your way, but they’d all be fitting.
I think I found my new favorite Thai place. Actually, new favorite restaurant in the area I now work. The two coworkers I came with were equally surprised and thrilled about the situation.
Will certainly be back.

Had a friend bring me in here. Lovely place. Kind of a hole in the wall. I had the spicy fish. The sauce on the side had this tom yum kind of taste, which i dig! The fish was crispy and I didn’t have to deal with bones. Owners super nice and happy to have me there. We need more of that. It’s a bit out of my way, but if I was ever in the area for a simple lunch, this would be the place.

I have had the boba on several times and really liked it. I have had better but this is good. I love that I can get a huge variety at a single place.
I have also had the food on a few occasions. It is good Thai food that is more authentic than many of the other Thai places I have been. Last time I was there I had the crab cheese wontons (although not authentic), these were some of the best I have every had. The wrapper was paper thin with a lot of filling, which is better than mostly wrapper and no filling you get at every other place. The chicken coconut soup was amazing with plenty of fresh veggies.
The service is great with friendly staff, the cook even checked to see if the food was to our liking. The mom and pop run shop offers a hole-​in-​the-​wall charm that just hits the spot. A place that I will continue to frequent.

The best, most authentic Pad Thai I’ve ever had. Their food is delicious and thy have sooooo many flavors of Boba.
My favorite Thai place in Denver.
Pro tip: They make things Thai Spicy, so order it mild but be prepared if you are timid with spices.

Sawaddee krap! Now stop that — you know that means «hello» in Thai, and in fact, this review is indeed for an eatery representing that cuisine — more specifically, Thai Landing Café in Aurora.
«Now, years and years ago, there was a Thai Landing on East Colfax. Is this one any relation?», you inquire. And in fact it is — the owners took a few years off before returning with a vengeance in 2005. And luckily for you, the food is remarkably unchanged, although the fabled buffet is long gone. But why not turn that frown upside down with some pepper/​garlic wings (including just a touch of red wine in the mix), a crab cheese wonton or two, or even some marinated dried beef (called Neua Dad Deaw in Thai, this is also very popular in neighboring Laos, where it’s known as Sien Savanh). Alternatively, you could have a bowl of hot-​pink seafood soup with fermented beancurd (Yen Ta Fo) or some funkadelic (sorry George) papaya salad (Som Tam) but — you know what’s coming next — don’t fill up too much!
One of the most savory main courses here is the Pla Jeen, which takes an entire firm-​fleshed fish fillet and drapes it with a decadent sauce of ground pork and mixed veggies. You’ll be sucking on your fingers for hours after this one. The «Sweet & Sour Thai Style» (Prio Wan) differs from its Chinese cousin — also available here — primarily by the addition of fish sauce and thickening the whole sh’bang via caramelization instead of relying on cornstarch. Noodle aficionados, meanwhile, will rave over the Pad Kee Mao or «drunken noodles» which get their English name from the endorphin rush generated by the chili/​basil sauce which is the centerpiece of the dish. Don’t forget a slush, smoothie or tea from the Lollicup line (over 40 flavors to choose from!) to end on a suitably quenching high note.

Real good! Good spice level, totally mom and pop. Tried to go to Thai street food and was pleasantly surprised by how great it was! I would absolutely come back

I haven’t had their food, just their Lollicup Boba.
The boba is perfect. You can tell it hasn’t been sitting for days and isn’t over cooked.
mmmmmm

The pud thai is excellent and one of the more reasonable places I’ve found for authentic Thai food. The owners are very nice (although the service is somewhat slow… so don’t go if you’re in a rush). I can’t wait to go back!

I feel bad that I have to give this place such a bad review. Because I think the owners are sweet people. But the service here is ridiculously slow, because they are so understaffed. I went a few times for drinks and regretted afterwards and had food once. Thai food completely lackluster. Drinks — overly sweet, poorly mixed, tastes so gross compared to other Lollicups. I was ordered 4 drinks and it took 20 minutes! 2 people were behind me gave up and left. No one was even in front of me. I ordered jasmine milk tea and you can taste the powder drink mix and a ton of sugar. So disgusting. My husband had the mango slush and it was goopy and also overly sweet and under mixed. I gave this place a few chances and it failed miserably every time.

I love spicy thai (pad kra pow) it was very good.

So normally when starving I would like to think anything would taste good or great right? But not so much at Thai Landing. I can never really justify why my pad thai was almost $ 10 dollars, granted that a soda came «free» with my meal, I’m sure I could have done without the soda. The restaurant from the outside looks a little run down and normally I’m all for hole-​in-​the-​wall kind of places but only those that serve awesome food! Thai Landing does not land this category. Food was bland and my party had to add more spice, salt and what not to try to liven up our dishes.
Interestingly enough Thai Landing also happens to be a Lollicup. I’m a huge fan of bolba drinks but with the bad taste the Thai food left in my mouth at exorbitant prices for mediocre food, I did not want to shell out more cash for that particular place than I already had. Sorry Thai Landing, I’ll probably only be back to try bolba when in the hood, but not the food.

Great food at an affordable price.
Don’t let the front (or inside) of the building scare you away from the delecious food and friendly owners.

This review is for their bubble tea as I have yet to try the food.
The best boba in Aurora. Why? ALWAYS CONSISTENT. And more flavor options than others. Unlike other places it never has the artificial taste from the flavoring powder & it’s never too sweet.
