Thai Pot Cafe

This restaurant is so tasty! I ordered the Pad Thai and it was amazing! The atmosphere is also really nice. All of the servers are very attentive and enthusiastic about the food they serve. I noticed that almost all of their menu items had a vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, or dairy free option. The small soup was perfectly sized and tasted very good. I am sure we will come back.

Clean, great food and fast service. Ordered a vegetarian stir fry. As others said, the spice level thing was a little odd but I went with servers recommendation @5 and it was pretty damn good. Awesome experience there for a late afternoon dinner today! Thank you!

I had the Massaman Curry. The service was ok and the interior is clean and comfortable, but the curry was not very complex and pretty flavorless.

Great food and great service. I had the drunken noodles with chicken and my dining partner had stir fry with cashews. The waiter patiently explained our choices for spice, which helped a lot. Interesting cocktail menu too. I had an interesting mix of ginger liqueur with Thai basil and fresh lime. Very refreshing. I’ll definitely be back on my next trip to Denver.

Excellent food but what we really love is how accommodating they are of dietary preferences. We’re vegan and they make what they can vegan without blinking an eye. Wish more restaurants were this welcoming.

I just love love this place. It used to b on another block but they moved to this great larger location. I am half Thai. I grew up with Thai food. My mum is Thai so I find this place to be one of two authentic Thai restaurants in Denver so far… Their soups, lad na, papaya salad r like really authentic. If your on a health kick and or on a diet then Thai food at this place is an amazing alternative… Today am having the small tom yum soup and papaya salad… Ideal for me on the south beach diet right now. Staff are very friendly and courteous… Today my server is Erin. She’s Awsome. Thanku for not making Thai food feel like it stir fried chicken in tomato ketchup with red peppers on it… Just delicious.

I’ve tried few different menus and everything is good! Nice atmosphere, nice service, great food!

Thai Pot Café is one of my favorite Thai places in Denver. The servers are very friendly. A woman, who I think might be a manager, comes by during the busy lunch hour to check in with how things are going.
Lunch is by far the busiest time, in my experience, but they will get you in and out in an hour guaranteed. Lunch specials are about $ 10 for a dish and a small appetizer – either wontons or an egg roll. I’m 95% positive the lunch and dinner portions are the same, for the noodles at least.
I like getting pad see ewe (street noodles) with tofu. And I LOVE their wonton sauce, it’s more liquid like fish sauce, and not sticky like red chili sauce.
Spice levels are quite confusing. They say «American» hot is 5… There’s barely any at all. An avid Sriracha and spice lover, I get spicy level 20 and that makes me sweat. My friends with normal spice tolerance settle with 10 or so. The restaurant will tell you their spicy level can go up to 500… Weird.
Overall great, but can be greasy. Not my favorite Thai restaurant ever, but definitely my favorite in Denver!
Oh yes, and the WIFI password is: thaipot01.

*happy sigh* this place! We went to the cherry creek area to pick up some shoes and randomly chose this Thai restaurant for dinner. I’ve had mostly crappy Thai in the Denver area so I wasn’t expecting much. I ordered my stand by for Thai: pad kee Mao aka drunken noodles, w/​beef. My boyfriend ordered Panang curry with chicken plus some appetizers. Everything was fresh, well prepared and absolutely delicious!
The jasmine tea I had was pretty good. Stash brand so nothing «special». He loved his hot mango martini and said the flavor mixed well together.
Fresh spring rolls came out first. Normally I don’t like these much but he ordered them and I actually loved them. (Actually it was one larger roll cut in half.) Not too much rice wrapper or too much Lettuce inside. Leaves of mint and julienned veggies married perfectly with the peanut sauce.
Thai wings were next. It came with 6 for $ 7 which I thought was a bit high but they were super crispy like I enjoy and the lemongrass and peanuts that accompanied was a nice touch. Sweet chili sauce was on the side so they stayed crispy :-) yay!
My noodles were flawless. I’d say the portion size was about ¹⁄₃ smaller than I’m used to and I had no leftovers to take home like usual but for the quality of the food I didn’t mind. The Rice noodles were fresh, tender and perfectly cooked. Everything from the vegetables to the noodles had a little bit of smoky browning on the bites just like they’re supposed to. They use egg and tomato and the sauce is a delicate brown sauce with some sweetness and smokey spice. The beef slices were thin, lean slices of well cut beef. No gnarly cartilage and fatty bites like at all the other Asian places around serve. My dish was so perfect and scrumptious I actually ordered a second entrée of it to take home for lunch the next day. I don’t think I’ve ever done that in my life before.
(Note for the spice lovers: I ordered spice level 3 – 4 & I could hardly taste any spice. The waitress who helped us said that their spice level six was equivalent to a jalapeño. So if you want epic spice go for 11 – 13 range. My bf got a 10 and I could eat it but normally I can’t tolerate his epically hot food.)
My boyfriends panang curry was delicious. The curry sauce was thickened but still soupy and not too sweet or coconut creamy. It had complex but well balanced and delicate curry flavor. The veggies were all nicely prepped and the chicken was thinner and more tender slices than I’ve ever seen in any of the Denver area Thai restaurants.
To top it all off the décor, while simple, was charming. Festive paper umbrellas hung from the ceiling. Not exactly a romantic ambience but clean and brightly adorned. Lastly the service was splendid. All the staff helped support each other and so that meant if our waitress was busy someone else rushed our drinks out or dropped an app off or refilled our water, ensuring everything was either properly hot or cold and fresh. I was blown away by how cooperative and effective that level of service was!
I’d recommend this Thai restaurant to anyone and it’s authentic as can be found around here or even in San Fran or NYC. Very well run, great food, great attention to detail and reasonably priced. Two drinks, two apps and two entrées for all around $ 70 after tip! Can’t wait to return!

I have high hopes because of the other reviews. We ordered the spring rolls and they were mostly iceberg lettuce instead of noodles. Very bland. I also order the cucumber salad and it really was a side salad of more bland iceberg lettuce with cucumbers on top. In my opinion, there really is no excuse for a bad salad. The spring rolls were like a side salad with so much lettuce in them, so I feel like I had half a head of iceberg lettuce before the meal even started.
My son likes his Pad Thai a lot. I did like my curry as well. The service was prompt and friendly. Still, I just can’t get over that bad spring roll. Hence, the two stars.

I cannot tell you how much I love this place.
Moving to Michigan has only made my heart grow fonder. Whenever I am back in Denver one of my first stops is Thai pot. I have NEVER found better Thai food.
Pad Thai Spice Level 3 with Crab Rangoon’s fill my day dreams.
The Tom Yum soup could cure any illness.
What I love about this restaurant is even the spicy food has so much flavor depth. As I mentioned before I have never found better Thai food. If I could come here every day for lunch I would, unfortunately I’m a 3 hour plane ride away.

This place had such great ratings which is why I decided to come here. However, bottom line is I was disappointed that it wasn’t authentic enough and the foods were too Americanized and lacked flavor. I do have to say that they really cater to vegetarians as their entire menu is filled with lots of vegetarian options. We started off the night with a thai ice tea which was massive! I really did appreciate the generous serving of tea and they even gave you an option to top it with half and half or almond milk. However, I felt the tea lacked flavor and richness to it. It wasn’t bad though. For appetizer, we ordered the fried tofu. I really liked the presentation of the tofu as they were all perfectly cut into triangles and were perfectly fried and soft on the inside. I wish they served it with a traditional peanut sauce instead of the sour and sweet fish sauce. Or maybe even give both, that would be awesome!
For the entrees, we ordered pad thai and the green curry both with chicken. The pad thai was delicious but their spice level ranking was misleading. It said American was 0 – 4 and Thai spicy is 5+. That made me assume 5 would be pretty spicy but it was so mild. If you can handle a medium at an authentic thai restaurant, you should probably go for a 8 or 9 here. The green curry was disappointing as it was not rich and kind of watery. It lacked spices but I did like how soft the chicken was in it.
Overall, this place could definitely improve in authenticity but I can see why it would appeal to the general American population. Next time I go, I will try the other appetizers and get a higher spice level.

One of my favorite places for the simple things…
I love the jasmine tea and the way they serve it, I love the potstickers (pan fried), crunchy and cooked perfectly and I love the choice of sauces. One of my favorite things on a hot day is the Thai Coffee… try it, yummy! What I didn’t like about today’s service though was when I asked for soy sauce I was told and pointed in the direction to get it myself; I didn’t think it was that kind of restaurant? Oh well, I’ll still be back!

Good thai food at a great value. We had lunch for two with the lunch specials and a Coke for $ 24 and change.
Ordered them spicy at a «10» and it wasn’t spicy at all.
Next time will try a 20 and see what happens.

Not impressed at all. Just got lunch here, I had the chicken Pad Thai. It was super dry and not very good. I added a spring roll for a extra $ 1.50, big mistake! It was full of lettuce and one piece of chicken and one piece of shrimp. Not to mention the entire wrap was split open. And what is the sauce? Definitely not peanut sauce. I tossed that too.
Don’t waste your money here.

Really great Thai food. Favorites are the ginger salad and Tom Kha soup with shrimp. It’s a perfect choice for any group. Family dinner with the kids, just me and the husband, out with another couple or in a big group… It’s always friendly service and delicious.
The food is just as good as at the old location, but it’s definitely a major improvement for the comfort level!

I ate here for lunch and was impressed with our waiter David. He was passionate about service and Thai cuisine and his enthusiasm was contagious. This resturant allows patrons to select the level of heat on their dish from 0 to 100. My biggest pet peve are Thai resturants that baby the American pallet. I love spicy Thai food; therefore, when I ask for Thai hot I want Thai hot!
Our waiter informed the chef that I meant business. However, the dish (Thai basil chicken) was not spicy. I still enjoyed my dish and will return because of the great service and high quality ingredients.
Tips:
The lunch specials include an appetizer but the entrée is one third smaller than the dinner portion.
The crab ragoons are homemade and are an excellent choice.
The ginger tea is the real deal. I could taste the ginger.

Saw this place on the way out of the nail salon next door and thought to myself we should check it out since we haven’t had Thai since moving to Denver two months ago. Came back around 7 ish and it was quite poppin though the bartender said it was actually a kind of slow night for them. We sat at the bar cuz that’s our thing and ordered the shrimp dumpling appetizer, the green curry level 15 and the small hot and sour soup level 15. Wow this was a lot of food for just two of us and we left quite full and satisfied. The way they describe their spice levels because there is no limit was: 10 is a jalapeño, 20 is a habanero, and 30 is what the Thai girls get. 15 was perfect for me, but they have little pots of dried Thai chili so you can make it spicer at the table if you wish. Although I will say we asked the nice lady behind the bar what her spice level was and she casually said 50. Props to her. That lady made our night!
The crispy shrimp dumpling were quite delectable, and perfectly bite sized. The green curry was loaded with veggies and really had a good flavor. And the hot and sour soup was also loaded with veggies and had a nice heat plus a great soup flavor. All in all it was a really good Thai experience AND walking distance from our house! That’s pretty sweet! I will say the draft selection was eh but they have some bottles to make up for it.

I went here on a Sunday with 5 other people. I thought the service was nice and the restaurant was okay. I ordered the appetizer sampler, the Tom Kha soup and the drunken noodles. All together it was a pretty fine experience. I wouldn’t give it a 5 though just considering the other Thai spots I’ve been to.
Drink service was oddly slow.

We’ve tried Thai Pot numerous times since I’m a huge thai food fan. The flavor of the food here is great: love the drunken noodles and Thai Pot Special stir fry is yummy too. Four stars for the food. Unfortunately the portions are just tiny. Dinner is about $ 11 – $ 13 per dish. After 2 apps, soup and 3 main dishes, three of us left still hungry.
They do have a lunch special menu for about $ 9 – $ 11 (the drunken noodle portion was decent but the stir fry portions are so small!) My husband’s dish was literally like 10 bites of food. They also charged an extra dollar to add in broccoli… which is totally cool to charge for extra add ons but it was like 4 pieces of broccoli.
Service is hit and miss. Sometimes super friendly and sometimes not very attentive at all. This would be my go to place if their portions weren’t tiny. :(Don’t think we’ll be back anymore. The hunt for good Thai food continues…

Ok — i really want to love this place bc there needs to be some better options for really good thai, but like most places in town, it completely falls short on flavor. Pad Thai is some of the blandest I’ve had and when you ask for spicy —Im not sure they add anything. I had to dowse mine with red pepper flakes.
I will give it a few more tries, but for now, I’m underwhelmed.
