Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Excerpts

I just returned from Thailand a few weeks ago and have been missing the traditional Thai experience. This was a PERFECT treat. I'll admit I was a bit nervous having Thai food in the US after having experienced it in Thailand but my worries went away after my first sip of the Thai Iced Tea and spoonful of the Pumpkin Curry. I was immediately taken back to my time in Thailand! Truly, Giving Cafe might have been even better!! The pumpkin curry was incredibly flavorful and packed a good punch!! I love Thai spicy and they did it perfectly - Could eat that curry every day! The restaurant itself was beautiful. I loved the interior design. Service was great too. I even got to practice my limited Thai skills! ;) I will definitely be coming back to try more dishes. Highly recommend!

Lovely little spot tucked in SE. Came here on a Saturday evening and was quickly seated. The atmosphere is clean and warm, simple with about 8 or so tables. The service was great and the meal came out extremely quickly. I wound up getting the cashew nut noodles and a lemonade. The noodles were a large portions which I loved and it was super flavorful. Chicken was cooked great and had nice level of spice. It’s a bit tucked away but would definitely go back!

Delicious food. Friendly staff. Good vibes. We ordered the yellow curry with chicken, yakisoba kee mao with crispy pork belly, fresh salad rolls with shrimp, pot stickers, and Thai iced tea. The pork belly was awesome and so was the curry. We love spicy food so this was great for us. Will definitely come again.
