Thai Palace Restaurant

04/01/2008 Posted by doodlebug777

Thai Palace is a favorite of our family. Even though we're not experts on Thai cuisine, we recognize excellent food and service when we see it. The place is run, I believe, by a Thai family and there is somewhat of a family-like atmosphere. The decorum is beautiful and authentic. They are always friendly and the food is consistently delicious. I took about 20 of my workmates there one day for lunch and several of them commended me for my choice, so I know I'm not the only one who likes this place. Try it out.

Pros: Delicious food, friendly, nice atmosphere.

Cons: Portions are not as big as I would like; sometimes it takes a while for the food to come.

this was unequivocally the worst thai food I've ever had. My guess is the positive reviews are from people who work there. I can't imagine anyone saying this is a good thai place. The service was terrible and the staff rude as well. No one came to check to see if my meal was good (it wasn't). I ordered spicy curry and it came in a small soup-size bowl. For $12.95? For lunch? Had it been good, it might have been redeemed but it was watery, flavorless and barely edible. Oh, I was also the only one in the place. worst thai food ever

Pros: none

Cons: everything

I've been to a lot of Thai restaurants and lived in Bangkok for 3 years, and I have to say that this is authentic Thai dining at its finest. The food is exactly what Thais themselves eat, with a great selection for all tastes. The owner is very friendly and all of the employees are Thai, so you can count on the legendary Thai hospitality. I highly recommend this restaurant and this is hands down the best Thai food in the Triangle. Try it out and become a regular customer like so many others have done. There's a reason why this restaurant has been in business for over 15 years!

Pros: Authentic Thai Food, ambience, friendly Thai service

Cons: None

Not much to say - it's a great thai restaurant not far from the heart of Chapel Hill. Nothing exceptional, just consistently good food and service. Prices are a few dollars higher than average, so I often order to-go.

Pros: location, parking, service

Cons: none

I have been to this retaurantseveral times and the appetizers and extree are always excellent (I do not eat dessert so can't comment on those). My faveroites are the MEE KROB, BANGKOK DUCK, and the fried whole Fish. I have rarely had to wait for a table or a server.

Pros: the food, parking

Cons: the prices are a bit high but not objectionable

I've been meaning to write this for a while, but hadn't gotten around to making my citysearch account until recently. I went in, sat down and they handed me a menu. I opened the menu and - no lie - a 3" brown thing that rhymes with 'loach' ran out of the thing, into my lap, then scampered off. I know you can't necessarily control or help things that come up, but this was possibly the most amazing thing involving 'insects' i've ever seen in a restaurant. I can't really comment on the food. I just had tea and white rice after that (that way I could see if anything would pop out of it).

Pros: Free protein!

Cons: the free protein.

I thought the food was very tasty. And have gone back for takeout several times since. The atmosphere is not at all what I would call upscale, but it certainly beats many local Thai restaurants in the area. I'd recommend it as a place to get great tasting Thai food. I went on a weeknight and it did take a while to get our food. I would go with the expectation that it may take a little while. Spend the time waiting for entrees over an appetizer or two. Watch out for their Tom Yum soup, it is pretty spicy.

Pros: Great food

Cons: A little slow

I would describe this place as upscale Thai. The choo chee plah is delicious. Especially with fish sauce which they don't keep on the tables but are happy to bring out if you ask for it.

Pros: food, atmosphere

I can't tell you how much I LOVE this place. I didn't know that I liked Thai before eating here because I'd never had good Thai food before. I really like the Bangkok Duck and also the cashew chicken dish. Thai Palace also has great ambiance. It's very nice and quiet, but I've also seen alot of families with well behaved kids too. So, I'd say it works well for date night. My husband and I use to go there for good long talks during dinner before our baby. But, we feel comfortable bringing her as long as she's had a nap:)

Pros: Great Food, Price, Service

I went in hungry and left hungry. The shrimp penang consisted of 10 shrimp in a penang sauce, and that was it. No vegetables included. Rice servings were about 1/2 cup and that is probably a generous estimate. All that for $14.95, not including gratuity. Do yourself a favor and go to A Taste of Thai in Raleigh. I will not be going back to Thai Palace.

Pros: Good service, Food tastes good

Cons: Way to expensive
