Delicious food and friendly people! I had the Pad Thai, very fresh, hot and tasty. Generous portion! I also had the coconut smoothie, and of course the Mango Sticky rice! Best sticky rice I ever had and the largest serving as well! Highly recommend!!

Beyond Thai is beyond delicious. The medium spice is perfect and not overly hot. The tofu pas Thai was freshly cooked, the tofu spicy and the noodles saucy and not dry. The Tom Kha noodle soup was excellent. The mango sticky rice was tender and sweet, we have leftovers. Highly recommend.

Delicious Thai. Food was served piping hot. First time at this restaurant. I was particularly impressed with the drunken noodles. Probably the second best over eaten anywhere. Waitress recommended beef, which is what I'll order again. Lots of perfectly cooked vegetables. Great flavor. The curry was flavorful, I would have liked it more creamy. Three published spice levels. I ordered medium which provided a solid burn but wasn't painful. Love supporting family-run business.

Came across this place not knowing what to expect. In terms of atmosphere, it was a pretty humble place, clean and nothing fancy. There was only 1 server, but she served us very well. Food-wise, we had better, but it wasn't bad. We ordered green curry with chicken, chicken fried rice, and drunken noodles with beef. We will be back to try the other menu whenever we're in town.

First time here for take out.. typical Thai prices but to add chicken (a basic protein at most others) it’s $1 more. Decent portion size. Medium plus is spicy for someone who can eat a good amount of spice! Ordered pad Thai, pad see ew, and Panang curry. Worst? Panang. The curry is like water when curries are usually thicker! Actually had to put it on the stove to thicken it using flour. The noodles had good flavor, not too sweet. Pad Thai was saucy which was good! Parking was out front of the restaurant, can be tight if they are busy.

Beyond Thai Restaurant is my go-to spot for authentic Thai food! The Thai Fried Rice and Veg Rolls are my favorites . They are always fresh and flavorful. The hospitality, hygiene, service, and ambience are all top-notch. Highly recommend!

The food was pretty good for a quick lunch. The pad thai was a little too sweet for me and I got the massaman curry which was very delicious but the medium heat was no heat so I missed the spice. The service was friendly, the place is cute and clean and they offered a lot of vegan options. I was hoping for some vegan spring rolls but they only had shrimp so hopefully they can add that as an option .

Very good food and spice level was good, medium was not super spicy at all so if you like spice make sure you tell them. The tofu was cooked well. The crab wontons were delicious and packed full!

***New Owners! (They have owned it for just one month, so if you tried it before and weren't a fan, give it another try!) We went back the next day to try more dishes! Beyond Thai is beyond fresh and delicious Thai made to order. It came out quickly and piping hot. The food tasted bright and flavorful. My daughter ordered tofu Pad Thai at medium spice. It was saucy without being soupy. I had the Tom Kha noodle soup also at a medium spice- the broth was sour from the lemongrass and perfectly spicy, with garlic and the right amount of noodles and tender chicken breast pieces. My daughter and I ate every bite and even ordered the sweet sticky mango rice! Yum.

I love thai food and this location was very close to where I was staying for the night. I ordered their drunken noodles, larb with chicken, and papaya salad. Everything was made fresh and quickly but it was all very salty. I don't think I am sensitive to salt, but this was too much. The larb didn't have much of an herb and lime juice flavor. Both salads were made mild which made me think I should have ordered medium, but I ordered the drunken noodles at a medium spice level and it was almost too spicy for me. The noodles were soft with a nice chew to them and the vegetables were also fresh. I wish my visit had been more positive. The only plus to this restaurant was that their customer service was great.

Pretty good and authentic, but average overall. We got the fresh spring rolls, dumplings, Tom Kha, and ramen noodle soup. The springs rolls were the favorite. Seating is limited and Parking can be a bit tough.

As much as I miss the bakery that used to occupy this storefront, I'm happy to have an authentically spicy Thai restaurant in the neighborhood. Beyond Thai is one of our go-to takeout places when I don't feel like cooking. My favorite dish is the green curry with tofu, and I usually order it medium or mild, depending on how spicy I'm feeling. The quality of their dishes is excellent--it has definitely improved since they first opened. If you like spicy Thai food, check it out.

Best phad thai in Denver! (This review is solely on the phad thai) If you like spicy, ask for "Thai spicy" level. Dear lord, it's like eating noodles dipped in magma! Stopped in for lunch and the inside is small but nice and quaint. Service was very friendly. Phad Thai is a little too switch but can't really tell with the inferno that's been infused with it. Test out your spicy skills here! They also gave me extra sauted chilis on the side, to kill me extra.

Not my fav and my little one who typically loves Thai didn't want to eat a thing. The spice level throughout didn't seem to be consistent as some of my medium spice was quite hot and others were just bland. I went with my usual chicken pad Thai since it was a new spot and it just didn't taste that great. Even the cheese wontons were a disappointment. Service was very nice and quick. The shop itself was nothing special.

I was excited to find a Thai restaurant that specified vegan modifications for most of their dishes. It can be tough to find Thai food that doesn't involve fish sauce or oyster sauce . I asked for vegan drunken noodles and it came out with eggs, which I was glad I noticed before digging in. I sent it back and the waitress and chef were audibly upset that I didn't specify no egg when I ordered, but that should not be necessary when you're ordering it vegan and the menu offers it as a vegan option. It came back out a few minutes later with no egg but the only flavor was a heavy-handed, salty soy sauce. My wife had a similar issue with the saltiness of her food. The price for these two small entrees and a papaya salad was about $60. I probably wouldn't come back unless they had dedicated vegan menu items with listed ingredients.

Wow. I was soo impressed by their peach boba. It came with fresh peaches on top. Sooo goood and to die for. I crave it often! Very clean there as well. The service was exceptional. I must say that a homeless man came in asking for food as he was hungry. The gal told him to wait and came back out with a to go box for him. She was so sweet and it was so refreshing to see people like this still exist! I'll keep going back. Thank you for all you do to serve the community!

My gosh. Wish I found this place sooner. Came here after the dragon boat festival in the summer either a group of friends. Everything was so fresh and yummy. I hope to be back again in the winter when it's cold.

Came here after a long day at the Zoo. The food hit the spot for me as I was quite hungry. They have a cute dining area if you want to eat there. It was empty when I went so the food came out super quick! I got the shrimp See Ew with peanut sauce and it was delicious. It is a tad for for me so I would go out of my way to eat here but if you are close by it is a great spot to eat at! Overall 4/5 stars

Go to spot for Thai - the rice is the best! Quality food and even more of a quality dining experience.

This is so new when we dropped by during the summer. Walked by them accidentally and we decided to investigate! We had the Panang Curry and an order of spring rolls. I'll maybe order the former again and skip the latter. Although they could make my order of the Panang Curry less watery, add more meat and call it a day! They have such great potentials to grow in this location. It's huge! Tip: there are two doors. If you're facing the building use the one on the right and not the left.

I ordered from Byond Thai on Uber eats (green curry and shrimp spring rolls) and they have the best green curry I've had in Denver.

Cute little place overall. Good music, nice decor. The woman who waited on us was super helpful with picking what to get with us being indecisive. My friend got the pad Thai and I got curry - both were REALLY GOOD. I guess I never get the spice ratings correct because I got 2 of 6 and it was spicy. I don't mean that negatively since I like spice, but I find that I always estimate a restaurant's spice rating incorrectly. Overall a really nice spot, if I ever come back to Denver or live here, this would be a regular spot for me.

Sadly, my quest for the best Thai in Denver continues. I wonder if they were just having an off day, since so many people had such a positive experience. I placed an order online and then drove over. The woman at the counter was ready for me and food was hot. The Tom yum soup had good flavor, but could have used some more vegetables/ heartiness. The spring roll was a little bland, as was the peanut sauce - the sauce wasn't really sauce either, just very chunky making it hard to dip the roll in. As for the pad Thai, it was so egg forward and the egg was overcooked and had congealed into a disgusting mess. There was also a piece of undercooked chicken. I think the sauce on the Pad Thai was decent but I couldn't get past the taste and texture of the egg and the pink chicken. Also, normally most Asian places fill their entrees to the brim but not here. In this case, it doesn't matter because I can't finish this, but disappointing nonetheless. I'm really hoping this was an off day, but I don't plan to return.

This tiny place is located right next to a corner liquor store and may look a little sketch. But trust me, go inside and you'll find this cute little updated space to eat. They also have a patio that is also super cute but it's not heated and so it's closed during the cold season. When you come in you have the option to dine in or obviously get it to go. The front counter woman was super sweet and made sure we had everything we needed while we dined in. This happened to be my first time dining in but I knew the food was already awesome since I order here at least once a week through DoorDash. Their veggie egg rolls is what gets me every time! They are so yummy and the veggies are so fresh inside and not mushy like spring rolls can be. I went with my usual order which is the Thai basil fried rice hold the egg please. This time I got mild but I play around with medium every now and then. The medium is a good amount of heat for me. Definitely opens up the nose, and has it running. My wife ordered the same but with the egg and my daughter decided on the steamed dumplings. Oh and not to forget, presentation is everything to me. I loved how they served the egg rolls and dumplings on a cute wooden board. The portion size is also good too. I hope you enjoy this place as much as my family and I do. Happy Yelping!

Well... it wasn't the worst Pad Thai I've had in Denver but I wouldn't say it was good either. I ordered medium level spice and thankfully I can take the heat because it definitely wasn't a medium spice level, super hot but whatever. The noodles were incredibly thin and overcooked and there was so much sauce it was like slurping soup. There was also very little chicken which was disappointing. The flavor was alright just so many things needed improvement...

I am sad that i didn't like this meal but I'll explain more. The Thai tea was amazing. Really good flavor. The pad Thai however was soooooo bland and runny. I asked for medium spice and there was 0 spice at all. I will not be going back

Pad Thai was really gross. Didn't even finish it. The curry simply tasted like peanut sauce.

I don't write reviews often but I am woefully disappointed. A small tom kha soup with white rice cost me $16... and the container wasn't even full when I received it. This gray, fleshy, chewy substance is supposed to be chicken (which I was up charged for), it's inedible. This is my second bad order from Beyond Thai, which is more expensive than anything else in the neighborhood. By far the worst tom kha I've ever had. Fool me twice, shame on me.

I hyped myself up and was disappointed. The servings are modest, the food oversalted. It was too late to get something else so it was salty drunken noodles for dinner. I do want to go back to try their boba drinks. That menu looks extensive. Maybe it was a one-off - I'll give it another shot soon.

Soooooo good! The Lemongrass Soup W/Coconut was comforting and delicious! 3 of us split it and then we all had the Massiman Curry (2 w/ chicken and 1 w/ tofu). Good size portions (took home leftovers).

Really authentic Thai food, the khao Soi taste just as good as the one I had in Chang Rai in northern Thailand. It's very flavorful and creamy if you like curry and coconut flavor. You can go with vegan or add protein of your choice. Even you can make gluten free for most of the dishes. The Thai tea I had was freshly brewed instead of some places just use powder. Make sure to finish with the mango sticky rice dish that's very Thai signature dessert, it's not cold it's steamed, the mango is ripe perfectly and it's just heaven.

We went on Father's Day which is probably not the best time to go bc they were slammed so the service wasn't great. That said, the food was fresh, came out hot & tasted delicious. We had Edamame & Chz Wontons as an all & veggie fried rice (no egg), Sesame Scallops & Fried Duck which were all generous portions. We had enough to take home for lunch today. I will definitely come back.

There was just one server for the whole restaurant who had the most inspiring and friendly attitude which is why I am giving this place five stars. She was an absolute rock star, made sure we were well taken care along with all the other patrons. Food here was also really good. I got the Khao Soi for my main, with chicken which was super yummy - if I wasn't so full I would have drink the whole bowl. The noodles were perfect. My only tip is to wear napkin "bib style" as the sauce will splash around and inevitably hit your shirt. The egg rolls were good, as was the Thai Tea. Definitely save room for the mango and sticky rice desert. Yum!

I'm obsessed with this place!!! Their drunken noodles are my fave in Denver!! Also my fave pad Thai in Denver (and I have tried 20+ places). The Khao Soi is also so delicious!!!

I've never had worse Pad Thai in my life. Think of noodles slathered with ketchup and something sickly-sweet. I had to throw it out after two bites. Green curry didn't have any broccoli and was just "meh." Will not return

Food was absolutely amazing. I got green curry and it was full of flavor. The papaya salad was also amazing. I've been to Thailand and I would say the food here is very authentic! Warning--- as others have said medium is very very spicy. The Tom kha super flavorful with lots of veggies. Pad Thai was great, not overly juicy at all. Looking forward to ordering again!

Pad Thai was not good- very sweet, tangy, and liquidity. Bright orange sauce. Pad Thai

// Summary Maybe it was an off-day, but there wasn't anything particular that made this "beyond Thai" as I had a non-spectacular meal. // Meal Experience I ordered a Pad Thai, and it was okay - it wasn't bad, it wasn't great. I've had Pad Thai's that were inedible, and fortunately, this wasn't one of them. But there wasn't anything interesting to it either. // Service I will admit that they seemed to have an off day when I was there, and it may have actually been the first week they were open. There was only one person at the front-of-house who was handling the incoming customers in addition to what seemed to be a flurry of DoorDash, UberEats, and Grubhub drivers picking up their orders and answering the phone that seemed to ring every 5-10 minutes. All that being said, the person was doing okay in terms of service, but was clearly overwhelmed. // Ambiance It's a very sterile and kind of boring decor. There seem to be two areas where you can dine in, so that being said, there seems to be a good amount of indoor seating. // Convenience As far as I can tell, there doesn't seem to be much street parking around the area, so it might be a bit hard for access - but I also didn't need to try that hard to find a spot for myself.

This place is super cute, and the food is made with love! I'm from Texas visiting for a day and wanted some Thai food. So glad this is where I ended up! If you haven't tried it! You need to! This is what I ate before I headed back to the airport. Definitely a thumbs up!

Wow! A Thai place that can do it all! I've literally tried a different dish each time I haven't been disappointed. They know how to really cook tofu and their crab rangoons are some of the best I've had. Some of my favorite dishes are the green curry, Thai peanut stir-fry, and both of the rice dishes. My husband raves about tom yum soup! So thankful we gave them a try!

We ordered to go food from this restaurant. The Pad thai looks great and tasty but it's too salty. Vegetable combo it's too salty too. Paging the owner of the restaurant to advise the cook to try first before serving the food. People with health conditions high blood pressure will trigger the higher pressure.

Really impressed with this restaurant! We are dedicated Thai food fans and we loved their pad Thai, as well as the drunken noodles. The chicken satay was alright, perhaps a little bland. I will say, their spicy scale leans a little hotter than other places so order down a level if you can't decide. Not only was the food great, but it was fast and friendly as well. They will be making lots of money off of our family in the future.

I ordered the pineapple curry and my pal ordered the pad thai. Both were at or above par. I suggest this place for local Thai food and will serve as a decent replacement for The Beet Box.

Good flavor and friendly service though pretty overpriced for what it is. $15 for a small-ish portion of drunken noodles with chicken and there wasn't even that much chicken or vegetables, mostly noodles.

Ordered Thai basil "medium" spicy, and I am someone who enjoys heat. But holy fuck, my mouth is burning right now. There is something hotter than thai chilis in this. On a 1-6 scale this is redicukous for a 3. I get it I'm some white yuppy but this is not a 3 probably a 5. Let people know before I can't even taste the food smh

New Thai place in the Whittier neighborhood. Popped in this afternoon to pickup a to-go order for dinner. I'm sure glad I did! I ordered the steamed dumplings and chicken gyoza for appetizers. Steamed dumplings were delightful with plenty of veggies and chicken. Gyoza's we're good. They are fried which makes them better but the menu didn't indicate that. I only had one, even though I definitely could've devoured the whole bag. Stupid Covid weight. I had the Larb Chicken salad, which is a lovely healthy choice (ordered a side of brown rice but didn't need it) and I even have enough leftover for lunch tomorrow. Medium spice was plenty spicy for me. I didn't need to add the extra jalepenos from my garden, that's for sure! Mouth is on fire now! Husband said the Panang Curry was the BEST sauce for this curry he's had in Denver! This is a big deal, folks - as he's somewhat of a Panang Curry snob. Only comment was it was a little light on the chicken but still had plenty of veggies. A very nice addition to the neighborhood and I can't wait to go back and try the rest of the menu!

Great little Thai place! Looks like nothing from the outside but the food is amazing! Great spice and fresh meat and vegetables! The staff is super friendly and they are quick when placing an order. My favs are the Thai Basil and the Masaman Curry! Try it, you won't regret it!
