Daughter Thai - Review - LoHi - Denver - The Infatuation

"Yes, Daughter Thai makes excellent panang curry and pad see ew, but it’s the elevated Northern Thai specialties that make this place stand out. Take the mea sai khao soi, which mixes crispy duck confit and a tangle of egg noodles in a spicy coconut curry, or the vibrant larb salad with a mound of soft-shell crab in a citrusy sauce. Whatever you order, you’ll be eating it in a sleek, curtained dining room with floor-to-ceiling windows for prime Platte St. people-watching." - Allyson Reedy

Denver’s 14 Essential Thai Restaurants Right Now - Eater Denver

"On the upscale side of the spectrum, this Platte Street looker goes gourmet at every turn: Think curries with lamb, black cod, or mussels; larb with softshell crab; or the popular Volcanic Beef in a velvety chili-garlic sauce beneath a tower of onion rings. The bar follows suit, turning out smart cocktails infused with peanuts, lemongrass, butterfly-pea tea, and aquafaba." - Ruth Tobias

Inside Daughter, LoHi’s Elegant New Thai Restaurant - Eater Denver

"Daughter Thai Kitchen & Bar, the new Thai restaurant from the owner of Citizen Thai in Golden, has opened in the new Riverview building in LoHi, bringing an elegant new dining option to an upscale address in the rapidly-developing area between the Platte River and Interstate 25. Owner Ounjit Hardacre told Eater that Daughter is her attempt to bring the type of boutique Thai restaurant she says is common in her old home of San Francisco to the Mile High City. For her, that meant focusing not only on the food but also on creating a well-decorated space that would provide an inviting place to spend a leisurely lunch or dinner in. “I want people to walk in here and remember my place,” Hardacre said. “You have to have something iconic. Food is important but decorations you remember.” In the case of Daughter, that iconic something is a set of large red and gold lanterns that weigh around 80 pounds and are meant to look like the large bells that are rung in temples throughout Thailand. Those lanterns, Hardacre said, are the centerpiece of the restaurant’s design, which combines a prevailing simplicity with elegant flourishes like white curtains and its red bar. Then there’s the mural from a local artist depicting the silhouette of a dancing woman and a Thai temple set against a sunset, which takes up one wall in the dining room. Hardacre said she chose to have the woman’s silhouette in the mural because the restaurant had to “have a daughter in it.” She chose that name for the restaurant because she and her husband always wanted to have a daughter but never had one. “This restaurant is our daughter now,” Hardacre said. Hardacre’s focus on decoration extends to Daughter’s take on flavorful Thai cuisine. Dishes such as the Kang Ped Duck and Pad Thai Gong are beautifully presented, with the latter’s jumbo prawns being complimented by a purple orchid. So too are the richly colored and properly garnished cocktails." - Paul Albani-Burgio

Stylish Thai Restaurant Daughter Wants to Be Denver’s New Date Night Destination - Eater Denver

"The owners of Golden’s Citizen Thai restaurant have brought their upscale version of Thai cuisine to LoHi with Daughter Thai Kitchen & Bar, which opened earlier this week. Katie Ezzeddine, a friend of Daughter co-owner Ounjit Hardacre who is helping Hardacre with promoting the restaurant, described Daughter as a more elegant version of Citizen Thai that is aiming to present Thai cuisine in a more stylish and sophisticated way than most Denverites are used to. That means a focus on plate presentation as well as culinary quality. “When people think about most Thai restaurants they think the food is always the same and no one thinks of having a date in them,” said Ezzeddine. “Here, Ounjit and her husband wanted to create the kind of restaurant where people can enjoy great food in a good ambience and have a fun place to hang out.” The space, which is located on the ground floor of the new Riverview office building at 1700 Platte Street, is sleek and artful with hanging light fixtures, white curtains, and a wall mural depicting Thai temples. Ezzeddine describes the menu as less traditional Thai than a sort of Thai fusion and says there are several dishes that are unlikely to be found on most Thai menus in America. Among them is the quail tod, which consists of deep-fried quail prepared with pepper sauce, fried garlic, and leeks. Other dishes, such as the lamb massaman, put a more unique spin on classic Thai favorites. “It’s a traditional Massaman curry dish but with a little bit more lychee, which makes it more flavorful and a little bit sweet,” said Ezzeddine. The menu is divided into small plates, Thai street food (which includes pad thai and pineapple fried rice), and entrees. In keeping with the restaurant’s upscale aspirations, street food dishes range from $15 to $19 while entrees are between $18 and $32. There is also a lunch menu with dishes ranging from $13 to $18. Daughter’s bar has both Asian and American beers on tap and offers Asian-inspired cocktails as well as a limited wine list." - Paul Albani-Burgio

Daughter Thai delivers an all-around excellent experience. The service is friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere gives off a well-to-do vibe. So if you’re looking for that delicious hole-in-the-wall kind of place, this is towards the other end of that spectrum. The food was very tasty and we enjoyed it. The mango sticky rice has a thicker cream as opposed to more milky. It was good but I prefer that latter. The price point matches the vibe so be prepared to spend more than you might expect.

What a great find! They are now open on Tuesdays and we happened to be there on a Tuesday so I guess we got lucky! It was happy hour all day as well. Decor is really lovely and just a solid vibe to the place. Really interesting cocktail menu and some of the best Thai food I’ve had in Denver. Will surely go back.

Lots of parking garages nearby which is great. Several cute bars nearby if you want to get drinks ahead of your dinner. Only downside is that this place is clearly a hot birthday spot because they came out singing every 10 mins for someone’s big day. It was hilarious but made it kind of loud. To be totally honest with you, there were 4 of us and we talked about getting so many different dishes each that I can’t recall exactly what each dish was called but I’d say that every single dish was delicious. We ended up sharing each dish which was an amazing idea so we could each try several different dishes! I’d highly recommend this assuming everyone can handle the same spice level. Since everything was delicious, we will be back again and again and again to try more. 10/10 highly recommend! Get there now!

Quick service, good food, nice atmosphere. It’s surely not the traditional, casual Thai food that you usually will found in other Thai place, but the food is authentic Thai (not those that was opened by non Thai people). Only one step back is overall the taste is strong and very spicy. Highly recommend this place if you want some new kicks in your Thai restaurant lists.

Had lunch at Daughter Thai in Highland. The ambience of the restaurant was upper scale, a bit exotic but inviting. The service was attentive, prompt and helpful. They had most of the Thai staples and quite a few one of the kind chef specials on the dinner menu. They offered lunch special with an entree, a drink and a salad for $23 daily from 11 to 3. Ordering separately, these would be about $30, so the lunch special was a bargain and very competitive compared to other downtown restaurants. Ordered the red curry with chicken and Thai tea for the special and added the mango sweet sticky rice for dessert. The spring mix salad was a bit spicy. The Thai tea was as expected and not overly sweet. The red curry was served in a double decker steel tiffin box with jasmine rice at top and curry at bottom. Besides the chicken, the red curry also had basil, red bell pepper, green beans and eggplants. The taste was fragrant, lightly sweet, rich and flavorful. The portion was adequate. The mango for the mango sweet sticky rice was ripe, carved and sliced into easy to serve thin pieces. The rice was soft, chewy and very tasty with the lightly salted creamy coconut milk and mango. Certainly one of the better tasting Thai restaurants in town.

The food was so good I pretty much finished everything, which for me is rare. The service was so sweet and kind. The Thai Matcha Green Tea is to die for and made very well. I highly recommend visiting this place for your next lunch or dinner.

I really love thai food and this place did not disappoint. We came for denver restaurant week and it will definitely become a place we come back to frequently in the future. The noodle curry, dumplings, and ribs were so good. I am not a huge rib fan but these I would come back for. The different textures in the noodle curry were amazing and will be something I crave. I really enjoy having some chili powder on the side and I learned they make their own in house and it is so flavorful n packs a great punch. Service was excellent and ambiance was great. Can't wait to come back.

I honestly expected better, I ordered a pumpkin curry and it was just good, the tofu in it didn’t have any prior cooking it was just plain cubed and added to it. My friend said his eggplant dish was good. Vegetable rolls also good but nothing special.

We have ordered from Daughter Thai using our DoorDash credits several times and have been disappointed with every experience despite our friends insistence that it is the best Thai food in their area. Tonight we ordered the pineapple fried rice and it was inedible. There was little to no seasoning whatsoever. The shrimp tasted like it was merely boiled and the pineapple was mostly rind. Daughter Thai should be ashamed of themselves for charging nearly $30 for such an offensive attempt at an otherwise simple dish. I am so fed up with "highly recommended" restaurants in Denver getting away with cutting corners on food quality and service while charging prices as if they were on the coasts. Daughter Thai is no exception to this trend and will not be getting our business or recommendation to friends and family until they make a commitment to quality matching their menu prices. This is $10 a plate Thai food at best and nearly everything on the menu is double or triple that price.

Came across the amazing reviews and decided to try this Thai restaurant. Great food , ambience and service. Ordered the Lean Geeen drink which is made of cucumber, basil, , ginger, lime, pineapple, tonic. This drink was amazing! Ordered the Thaigerr smile green curry, this comes with beef. The beef is so tender and the curry is just amazing. This fish made us come back to the restaurant 2 days in a row! The Khao Soi Ka (curry noodles) is my second favorite dish here. It comes with a spicy sauce that complements the dish really well to bring it to the right level of spiciness. When we are back in Denver, definitely visiting this restaurant.

This place is amazing. Every. Single. Time. Not a bad dish on the menu and nothing but the highest praises for Daughter Thai. This time around we tried and loved the duck wontons - I believe it was a new or special menu item but maybe it was just new and special to us. Either way it was killer...just like everything else on the menu. Best Thai in town.

Came here on Friday and was surprised we just had a short ~5 minute wait to get a table for 3. This menu is not all-encompassing - they don't have the basic 'pick a curry base, pick a protein' kind of thing. This place is definitely a pricier, upscale Thai spot. We opted not to get any drinks or appetizers, and each of just got one entree. My husband got the Khao Soi Kai which he enjoyed and my friend and I both got an order of the Chicken Pad See Moa (flat noodles with chicken, eggs, and veggies). We both agreed the flavors were great - a little sweet, spicy, and basil-y. Service was fast and we got several water refills. Didn't interact too much with the waitress. Overall I enjoyed the meal but the prices are steep - some of the dishes were $30+ (versus other thai places where those would be $15-20). So be prepared for a good, but pricier meal.

If you're seeking a delightful culinary escape in the heart of Denver, try Daughter Thai Kitchen. Nestled in the vibrant and bustling downtown, this upscale yet comfortably casual Thai restaurant offers a mouthwatering selection of authentic dishes. The moment you step inside, you'll be greeted by an inviting atmosphere that strikes a perfect balance between chic and relaxed. The decor features elegant accents combined with soft lighting, making it an ideal spot for a romantic date night. You can easily stroll in wearing your favorite casual outfit, but be prepared to enjoy an experience that feels a bit special. I would recommend making a reservation if you want to ensure yourself a table here. Each dish is thoughtfully crafted using high-quality ingredients. Start your meal with a delicious appetizer like the gyoza (please see pictures of the adorable basket it came in). For my main course I tried the Pumpkin curry tofu and it was the best curry I have ever tried. I was worried the pumpkin would be too sweet but it was absolutely amazing. The creamy coconut sauce was addictive, and the assortment of vegetables were perfectly cooked. I loved that it wasn't the typical veggies you find in curry dishes (there was acorn squash and it was surprisingly good). Daughter Thai Kitchen left me wanting more and this has been added to my "go-to" restaurants for Denver. I'll be back on my next trip to Colorado!

Honestly, this review is just for the service. Our server forgot to mention that they're doing last call - and we specifically made a reservation to celebrate an occasion. So the fact that we weren't even asked if we wanted dessert or anything else before kitchen closes is just ridiculous to me! I actually like this place but this experience was just disappointing.

Really enjoyed everything we ordered here. We came at prime dinner time but they were out of a few things we wanted. It is a little expensive for Thai food. My favorites were the heavenly roll, khao soi, and emerald pad thai. The ambiance was nice and our server was great. I would definitely come back.

This was our first stop after landing in Denver. A trusted friend source had recommended this to us. We got here around 3 pm and they had just started their dinner menu. The lunch menu had fewer options but the dinner has ample to choose from so I was excited about that. We started with the Bangkok ribs, which were unbelievable and definitely recommended. Then I got the beef pad see ew which was perfect. I made sure to get the mild spice because the spicy is a real Thai spice. My friend got the Khao Soi Kai with beef and hers was a bit more spicy but absolutely delicious. The curry sauce was spectacular. Our server Ryland was very attentive and super friendly. It was a great first stop in Denver. Also, the ambiance inside was beautiful. I could definitely see this being a nice date night, work lunch or meet up with a good friend!

Came here for a casual birthday dinner with my boyfriend. It has been on our list for a while. We walked right in on a Sunday, late afternoon and were seated immediately. We were sharing a few items because family style seemed like the way to go. Random people would bring out food and drinks which was nice to see as we never ran out of water or were looking for someone when we needed something. We ordered as a starter the coconut shrimp, and Chicken Satay/ Shrimp Pad Se Ew as our main with a side of white rice and peanut sauce. The food was really delicious. We enjoyed everything that we ordered. It was the perfect amount for two people and we had a small to go box with leftovers, enough for a small snack later. However, those three items cost over $100. I did take off one start because the prices were a bit much, all around $5-$10 overpriced for fairly small portions. I know it's rare to find good Thai in Colorado but $30 for Pad Se Ew is outrageous. $16 with maybe $5 more for protein is still above average. Honestly the food was good, but the prices would keep me from being a regular and coming back. Either lower the prices by $2-10 or make the portion sizes bigger. Overall, 3.5/5 stars

Had a quick dinner at Daughter Thai this weekend and overall, it was a solid experience! We got seated right away and the food came out fast, which was great. The pineapple fried rice was a bit on the dry side, but the flavors were still good. The real standouts were the khao soi and pumpkin curry - both packed with great spice and seasoning, super tasty. Definitely recommend those dishes if you're into bold, spicy flavors. We'd go back!

One of my friends found this spot and of course I ordered the Pad Thai! I thought that shrimp were very juicy and a good size, but I wish they gave more! The pad Thai itself was very good and they gave the perfect amount of sauce which I loved. It also came out very aesthetic which I appreciated! We were able to sit outside and it was perfectly breezy and a perfect last meal of our trip. If you're looking for a solid Thai food spot in Denver, I would recommend this restaurant.

This is a pretty solid Thai restaurant! The menu has some classics as well as some non-traditional dishes. The ambiance was upscale casual and pleasant. The service was attentive and pretty good Food was surprisingly good, tasted authentic. But going to take a star off because of the prices. You can very well find other places that have the same flavors, same dishes for a better price. I personally can't justify spending around $25+ for one dish, especially when I eat Thai food as often as I do. Would go back if I was in the area.

This trendy and elegant restaurant offers a sophisticated take on traditional Thai cuisine, reflected in the prices. The service was perfect, and everything we tasted was delicious. We started with the Bangkok Ribs, covered with an addictive honey palm sugar black soy sauce glaze. I ordered my Eggplant dish with tofu, and it came with large, perfectly caramelized chunks. My husband enjoyed his Pad See Moa. I was disappointed that they run out of the Mango Sticky Rice for dessert, but the Thai Tea Ice Cream I got instead was a satisfying ending to a beautiful dinner.

Started with the Daughter Smile as my drink and I thought it was excellent! The flavors were all perfectly balanced and it had a good amount of alcohol in it. Our server was also very nice and had some great recommendations. Foodwise, my friend and I split the Bangkok Ribs, Gyoza and Samosa Roti Wrap. The ribs were pricey, but really good! I wish I could've gotten more for the price. My next favorite was the samosa roti wraps. It was very different and had a great crunch to it. I think it was missing a perfect blend of seasoning, but I still enjoyed it. The cucumber "salad" that came with it was a joke, though. The gyoza were the least favorite and that's because the sauce it came with wasn't good and they weren't as crispy as I was expecting. The flavor inside was yummy. It seems like there were pros and cons to every dish I tried. While I would definitely come back if I was in town again, I don't think this place is a perfect 5/5.

Made reservations for me and my sisters while we were walking around Denver! This place has to be one of my favorite Thai spots I've tried thus far! The flavor in their dishes is spot on! I loved my Khao Soi and will certainly be coming back just for that! Of course, there are so many other dishes I will be torn. We came on a Saturday around 3:30 and there was hardly anyone there to compete for a seat. Our waitress was punctual, helpful, and quick to response to our orders. Try. This. Spot.

First time here: - It's a snowy day and we came for lunch which starts at 12 on Saturday. They were serving from both the lunch and dinner menu. It was relatively empty, so even tho we made a reservation it was not necessary :) - I tried the fried chicken with fried rice from the lunch menu. The fried rice is pretty good, though on the sweeter side. I would probably skip the chicken next time - it's heavily breaded and deep fried. But look, the chicken underneath the breading --TAAASTY. You don't even need the side sauce. - This is a pretty big spot, so potentially good for groups. And the service was very quick. Maybe too quick . I don't think it took us more than 15 minutes to get our entrees.

Upon arriving, I discovered that I misread their website. You DO in fact need to make reservations. Luckily we were there early enough there was an empty seat, but I wanted to make sure I led my review with that point to save others from my error. The food was delicious and served in a beautiful display. I was very happy with our visit!

My husband and I went here for dinner on a Saturday evening to celebrate my starting a new job. I received a gift card a while ago and we were waiting for a special occasion. We went early, around 4:30. They did not have any tables available for a couple of hours due to being full with reservations, but there were seats at the bar, which was first come first served. We were happy to sit at the bar. The bartender was friendly and helpful and provided us with water right away. He also offered to go over anything on the menu we had questions about as well as make suggestions of his favorites. We had a glass of wine and a beer while we reviewed the menu. Everything looked so good it was really difficult to choose. We decided to get 3 entrees, even though we knew that would be too much food. We just wanted to try a few different things. We ended up getting Chicken Pad See Moa, Thung Takk and Volcanic Beef w/Jasmin Rice. The bartender suggested we try a curry instead of 2 noodle dishes, but the noodles sounded too good not to try. Chicken pad see moa was a noodle dish with very wide noodles, peppers, basil and a spicy sauce. It was delicious. We wavered between that and Beef Pad See Ew, which we will have to get next time. The chicken was tender and the dish was so flavorful. I loved the little bit of char on everything. Thung Takk was our favorite thing that we ordered. My husband loves pad thai, but it's not my favorite and this was an excellent compromise. The noodles were perfectly chewy and the sauce was amazing. We loved the tofu and crushed peanuts. It was pretty spicy, which was great. We will definitely be back to order this again! Volcanic beef was incredibly tender and delicious. The onion rings on top were the best I have ever had. For dessert we ordered mango sticky rice, which I had never had before. I never save room for dessert when I have Thai food. The mango was perfectly ripe and the rice was delicious, but I did not love the sauce and that it was a little salty. My husband loved it though, so I think it was a great dish and just personal preference that it wasn't my favorite. The service was quite good. The only thing is that the food took a while once we had ordered it. Just a heads up there is a 5.5% kitchen fee added to the bill. We will be back again to try more menu items as everything we saw others eating looked and smelled amazing.

I love this Thai place. Sooo good and authentic. Kinda pricey, so I would recommend for date night or a special treat. Their Thai tea is soooo amazing, you can tell it's made in house. We got the duck roti curry. I haven't had a roti like that since I was a kid in sf, brought back so many core childhood memories. We got a lot of appetizers and everything was delicious. Our waiter had a small attitude. Was attentive but if we had a question or something she would sigh, kind of like she didn't want to be there. But I came for the food and not the service.

The food was great although not very spicy despite getting both dishes as medium. The flavor was phenomenal though so it made up for that, but if you like spice I would recommend going higher than 3. We got the drunken pork belly and the roti duck curry and both were fantastic. The roti was slightly sweet but oh so crispy. The staff were all very nice and kind; they recommended the Thai tea ice cream which is made in-house and it was freaking delicious. The overall ambiance was very nice and enjoyable.

WOW never again! I paid $80 for 3 items, thinking it would probably be 2, maybe 3 meals for myself. $25 for a tiny portion of Pad See Moa. $18 for coconut soup, which although was tasty, well, keep reading. AND here's what worse than (spoiler) being on the toilet all night after eating their food? $19 for the SMALLEST portion of anything I've ever seen in my life. I've eaten at Michelin Star Restaurants and seen bigger portions than the Samosa Roti Wrap for that price. It was LITERALLY three (yes, 3) bites. Maybe if you're a child it was 6 bites. I counted.

Tried Daughter Thai Kitchen for Restaurant Week. We did have to ask for the RW menu since it was not readily available. The first course was Morrakot Crab Wontons - flavorful vegetable wonton wraps full of mascarpone, cream cheese, and crab. My second course was Pad Thai with chicken. It was a generous portion. I wish it had been spicier. I wasn't given an option for spice level. Our waitress was very busy in the crowded restaurant so I think she forgot to ask. The third course was dessert. It was a fun, sweet mix of Daughter Toasted Coconut Fried ice cream. The texture of the fried part reminded me of a sopapilla. The ice cream had a ton of coconut flavor. I will go back again to try some more dishes with more spice.

Came here with a group a friends and all I can say is: what a treat!! If you come as a group, highly recommend trying a handful of the appetizers. Our favorites were the Bangkok ribs, daughter phla larb salad, and the mushroom soup. The plates are shareable too and can't go wrong with any of the options. The cocktail bar "Room for Milly" is across the street and was a fun stop after a delicious dinner.

The ambience of the place was lovely. It was decked out for Valentine's Day and it was adorable. The lunch menu was very appealing, especially the prices! Spicy basil chicken w/rice: this was the lunch portion and thought it was a perfect amount. I got the medium spice and I definitely could've gone up more. However, the flavor was very good and saucey. I wish they had mixed it up like fried rice or something. I would probably try something else if I went back though

The location is at a great spot and the ambience in the restaurant is very nice and modern. The service was good as well and we were seated right away even without a reservation. They are on point for the water/beverage refills. Thai food is one of my favorite foods, so I was expecting something really good because of how well decorated this place was and how many stars there were. The food we ordered was ok, nothing special. We ordered the ribs as recommended by other Yelp reviewers, but it was underwhelming and quite crispy. Overall, you should give it a try as everyone's palate is different, but just wasn't for me.

Absolutely love this spot. The service is always great and you can ask any questions. I always, always order the beef panache curry here. It is so aromatic and flavorful, I'm drooling just writing about it. Beware of their spice levels, but in the best of ways! I love a hearty kick to my curries and always go with the medium spice level. They also offer a great mocktail and the bar seating is my favorite by far!

As I entered Daughter Thai Kitchen & Bar my ears were greeted with hip hop hits from the 90s, 2000s and 2010s mixed with classical. I found the interior to be modern and casual. I kinda knew from the moment I entered, I'd be in for a good time. As for the service, Connor and the rest of the staff could not have done a better job. Connor was attentive and polite. He was able and willing to make recommendations and accommodations for us. And the rest of the staff were eager to clear our table of empty plates. Now as far as the food goes, it too is exceptional. My favorites of the night were the Moo Krob Rang Nam, Drunken Pork Belly, and Banana Foster. But don't get me wrong everything else we shared was good too which included Duck Wonton, CoConut shrimp, Thai Street Chicken Satay, Mea Sai Khao Soi, Drunken Pork Belly, and Mango Sweet Sticky Rice.

Daughter Thai is just okay Thai food. It's overpriced for what it is ... the coconut shrimp were really good and the volcanic beef was very tender. The rice for the mango sticky rice is cooked in a rice cooker and it's very dry. The food came out fast .. and service was just okay as well. We ordered 6 items and spent $188, personally , I wouldn't come back.

I highly recommend this place! One of my favorite restaurants in town, great location, amazing service, delicious food, the whole atmosphere was perfect for a lunch with my friend! They set their standards high and I love it. Everything that I've tried here so far was delicious. Me and my friend went there yesterday(Valentine's Day) for lunch without reservation and were given a table right away and they were busy, the food was served fast, everything was perfect! I do recommend to place a reservation for dinner though. Must try their Pad Thai, Tom Yum Kha, Curry

Was the food good? Yes Was the service good? Yes Were there some very cool and/or modern offerings? Definitely Was it worth what I paid for it? No I appreciate that restaurant pricing in general has increased significantly in recent years. I also understand that cuisine types that were traditionally undervalued are having a resurgence, and are being celebrated and appreciated for how good they are. But, at the end of the day, I am all about "bang for the buck". And, despite the good quality, this was way too spendy for what I received.

We picked up take out. I got the Chicken pad see mao, & my husband got the spicy basil chicken. Both were delicious. However, my husband was expecting sliced chicken rather than ground chicken, & in my opinion I think it was very over priced. I'm used to spending $15-18 per entree at a Thai food restaurant & at the same time the portions are very generous. This was not the case here, these 2 entrees rung up at about $52 after tax, so $24 per dish. Normally I cannot finish other Thai takeout, it's usually at least 2 servings. Here I would say it was exactly one very modest serving. If it wasn't so expensive or if it was a huge portion I'd have no issue, but again the cost was a little ridiculous for what you get.

We wanted Thai food and to cool down after the Dragon Boat Festival, and so we landed here for a late lunch. Street parking can be tricky during the busy time, but there is a lot right by the restaurant. The restaurant is clean and very Thai inspired. The waitstaff was friendly. We tried a few dishes to share with the table. I really recommend the Daughter Phia Larb Salad. It is not the typical beef salad. This is made with soft shell carb and the herbs and spices with it make it a nice refreshing salad. I also recommend the roti duck curry. The duck is nice and tender and the roti is nice to sop up the curry which is delicious. The emerald pad Thai is good. The noodles were just different than the typical rice noodle which we prefer. The Thai tea was a nice drink after the scorching hit day outside. The volcanic beef came with fried onion rings on top which was a different twist. The beef was nice and tender. It was just a little salty for our taste. I would definitely come back if we are in the area. There is a lot of cool places in the area.

I just realized there was a 5% "kitchen appreciation" fee. I got housed. That was on top of the 22% I left. This will be a no revisit for me.

Walked in right before they opened for the second half of the day and the staff was nice enough to allow us to have a table. My wife and I have been here multiple times and it's always great. Super clean! We had the Bangkok Ribs, which were amazing! We tried the Thai Street Chicken Satay. The Chicken Satay was so much better than you would expect and was one of my favorites. We also got the Volcano Beef. My wife loved the Pad Thai too.

HOLY FLAVORTOWN!! Incredible service, and possibly the best meal I've had in Denver. We got the Heavenly Roll (tastebuds will go crazy), Tom Yum Kha Mushroom soup, Pineapple Fried Rice, and the Khao Soi Kai as per the waitresses recommendations. The spice for level 4 was definitely spicy, which I feel like you can't find in Denver. I actually just could not physically stop eating it, it was so good!! Kudos to the chefs for packing each bite with so much flavor. And also hats off to the waiter and waitress we had, your recommendations were fantastic!

Our friends who live in Denver recommended that we come to this restaurant as they think it is the best Thai food in Denver. Overall, great flavors, cool restaurant, slow service and expensive. We got: Beef Panang Curry - Panang curry, edamame, red bell peppers and jasmine rice for $27. I normally order this dish with chicken, but they specialize in beef so Emerald Pad Thai - Crispy softshell crab, stir-fried silver noodles with egg, bean sprouts, chives, ground peanuts for $32. They use small noodles for this dish and the crab comes on the side. We didn't think the portions were big, maybe average or just a bit smaller than average. Service: - food didn't come out at the same time - took us at least 15 minutes to order

Good Thai food, but a bit on the pricey side. I've gone a few times. They have outdoor dining, weather permitting. Definitely recommended.

We were in the area and just wanted a quick meal to split. We got the Morrakot Crab Wontons (divine) and Thung Takk to split (medium). Their spices definitely have a kick but wow it was delicious. I cannot wait to come back and try some other things here.

Daughter Thai is one of my favorite restaurants in Denver & it has my vote for the best Thai food in town. We had lunch here over the weekend and tried out new cocktails & dishes we have never had before. We arrived at Daughter Thai and were seated in a booth in the main dining room. The aesthetic of the restaurant was enthusiastically Thai with carved wooden lattices and red & gold filigree chandeliers. Our mixologist & server Miguel was such a pleasure and ensured we had everything we needed while we dined. He whipped us up two craft cocktails that will be debuting on Daughter Thai's menu for spring. The Lean Green Machine was made with basil, aloe, cucumber, and white rum. This cocktail was refreshing and immediately hit the nose with basil & cucumber. It was an smooth sipper and a great spring drink. The Last Goodbye was made with pineapple, yellow chartreuse, and tiki bitters. The Last Goodbye rushed onto the palate with bright pineapple. This cocktail had good zing to it - the saffron and anise from the chartreuse added subtle spice that lingered on the tongue. For Small Plates we had the Bangkok Ribs and the Gyoza. The Bangkok Ribs were made with glaze honey palm sugar black soy sauce, Chinese bok choy, and crunchy noodles. The Bangkok Ribs are a must order when dining at Daughter Thai - they were fantastic. The juicy rib meat fell of the bone with ease and was tender and sticky sweet with glaze. The Gyoza were pork pot stickers served with house soy sauce. The fried gyoza had hot crisp exteriors and were filled with savory pork. For Main Plates we had the Pad Thai, Khoa Soi Kai (noodles curry), Thaiger Green Curry, and the Chicken Pad See Moa. The Pad Thai was made with small rice noodles, bean sprouts, chive, and peanut. This is the best Pad Thai I have ever had. The stir-fried rice noodles were piping hot and had the perfect balance of sweet and sour. The peanuts added great crunch against the soft chew of the saucey noodles. The Khoa Soi Kai (noodles curry) was made with northern style curry sauce , egg noodles, shredded chicken, hard-boiled egg, bean sprouts, red onion , green onion, and crispy shallot. This was my first time having the Khoa Soi Kai and I loved it. The coconut curry broth was rich, creamy and packed with aromatics and flavor - I drank every last drop. The Thaiger Green Curry with Jasmine Rice was made with grilled angus flat-iron steak, Thai eggplant cherry tomatoes, red bell, green bean, and Roti puffs. The thick pieces of angus steak had an intense beef flavor that paired well with the spice of the green curry and doughy roti bread. This was Ross' favorite of the meal. The Chicken Pad See Moa was made with flat rice noodles stir-fried with egg, broccoli, red bell peppers, green beans, basil, chili, and garlic. Ross ordered the Pad See Moa 'Hot' and this plate brought the heat which we both enjoyed. The dish overall was savory with major spice coming from the Thai chilis.
