Very good! I lived in Thailand for a little and what we ordered tasted very authentic! The servings are quite large for the price. The food came fast. Can't beat good Thai food! I wish I lived closer so I could eat here more often!

I had a great experience at this Thai restaurant! The place feels very comfy with beautiful Thai decorations that make the atmosphere warm and inviting. The food was absolutely amazing—full of flavor and so delicious! The service was also excellent. Our waiter was super helpful and friendly, which made the whole experience even better. I’ll definitely come back again!

Vegetarians Unite! Ta-Khrai is a lovely little Thai cafe near the Evansdale campus. Their menu features an entire vegetarian section including Pad Thai Tofu which I assume is made without fish sauce. The Garden Rolls and Crispy Tofu are each served with a yummy and unique house made sauce. They were out of spring rolls as we were there an hour before closing. We ordered everything mild so the entire table could share. The pad Thai was lovely. The drunken noodles would have been better if I had notched the spice level up but the chicken was cooked perfectly. Their Thai ice tea is also a winner. Service was slow for our drink and food order but the food arrived very fast. Give Ta-Khrai a try.

Amazing food and very nice atmosphere. We had a party of five -everyone's meal was delicious and the portions are large. Definitely suggest the Jack in the beanstalk appetizer. As far as entrees... I don't think you can go wrong with anything you choose.

Back to in-person dining and delicious Thai food! The place is always busy so make a reservation or get there early. We loved the spring roll and calamari for apps. You will love the pad Thai.

Second time here and don't know why we waited so long. Hands down the best Thai food we have ever had. Large portions and reasonably priced. Fantastic customer service. Well worth the hour plus drive just to eat at this restaurant.
