"The menu at this modest East Colfax spot is fairly short on selections but long on charm, especially when it comes to dine-in-only items like the Thai-style fried chicken with papaya salad and the fiery but still flavorful “OG” red curry. Other uncommon offerings include the pork roti and the hangover wonton soup." - Ruth Tobias

Putting this into our regular rotation. The Kho Soi (yellow curry) with fried chicken was mind-blowing. I wish I had gotten a picture of the dish the first time we ordered it. The picture I took the second time we ordered it wasn't as pretty -- but it was delicious all the same! We were here for Mile High Asian Food Week. Made a reservation for 8 using Google Assistant, which worked pretty well. We arrived at 5:30 which was probably best because it got busier and busier. Kudos to the owner who was our server -- a hard worker who is really dedicated to this business and the dishes she's serving. Don't miss the mango and sticky rice and all the fancy drinks. Definitely definitely glad we tried this place tonight! Will be back for sure!

Cozy restaurant with amazing food! Their pad Thai is really tasty! The restaurant has a few tables inside but there is also a patio in the front. The staff is friendly and the service is fast. If you are in the area, this is the place for good Thai! They also have a good selection of tea.

Came here for dinner after being highly recommended by local family members. They made reservations in advance since we had a large party and there's limited indoor seating. Upon arrival, our table was ready as expected. We were greeted like family by one of the owners. She was very friendly, hospitable, and helpful. We started off with a few appetizers and cold teas while getting some recommendations. If you're indecisive, they'll ask you a few questions to give you some recommendations based upon your preferences, even if it's not on the menu. They have their standard menu online, but also have another menu in the restaurant with even more options. We ordered everything from this menu which included curries, rice, and noodle dishes. We had about 10 orders, but everything arrived in about 15 minutes freshly made. Every dish looked and tasted amazing. Very authentic. Great food and service. Will definitely come back when I'm in town.

Customer service is AMAZING! The owner not only directly answered our questions but gave personal recommendations and stories behind each dish. You can tell she is quite passionate about her craft. The food overall was good.. however the price is steep for the serving sizes provided. For $21, I would expect a bigger bowl of Khao Soi. Also, while the food was good, it was not the best Thai I’ve had in denver but it was the priciest.

We randomly stumbled upon this charming place and couldn’t have been more blown away. The owner (incredibly nice and welcoming) recommended the Kho Soy with crispy chicken and it was unreal. The flavors of the broth were spectacular. Highly recommend!

We loved this place! The staff made it a true mom-and-pop environment! The food was absolutely incredible and the portion size was great as well. Sorry the photos are messy- we had to dig in as soon as we got the food because it looked and smelled so delicious 😋

Cute litte place on Colfax. We were in the area, hungry, so pulled up google to see what was around. We're we so glad to find Lucky Noodles! The menu was fairly small, but that didn't make it any easier to decide what to order. On the cool December evening the Green Curry with chicken and the Pad se awe(?sp/name?) Where perfect choices. They both were very delicious! Oh....and the Lychee Thai Tea was sooooo good.... All in all we really enjoyed our self eating in the front corner of this restaurant with quirky decorations! The only small drawback to this place, which didn't effect my star rating, is we thought it wasa bit pricey.....but, we understand location is everything and the rent can't be cheap on colfax...Colfax.... We deffinatley recomended Luck Noodles!

Extremely friendly owner & overall such a great experience. Happy to see them so busy for the holidays! Small restaurant with just the right amount of offerings. They do offer a secret menu in-house which had some unique items as well. Potstickers were incredible. Pad Thai & Pad See Ew were both delicious. Accurate spice levels. Terrific Thai option.

Wow, I'm so glad that Lucky Noodles popped up in my Yelp feed -- because I've driven past the location countless times and never noticed this unassuming gem. I don't know how Yelp knew I was craving authentic Thai -- but I'm grateful that it surfaced Lucky Noodles on a late Friday afternoon after I skipped both breakfast and lunch. This charming restaurant is located in Denver at the SE corner of Colfax Ave. and Marion St. with curbside parking. Upon walking in, the friendly vibe, simple yet elegant and thoughtful decor and abundant plants immediately reminded me of small, family operated restaurants I had the privilege of enjoying in Chiang Mai, Songkhla and other places in Thailand. I was greeted by friendly staff and Ploy, the owner who gave me both the standard menu and the "secret" Thai menu. All of the expected Thai standard appetizers, entrees and desserts are presented which made it hard for me to choose -- so I impulsively asked Ploy to recommend something. She suggested Khao Soi based on my preferences and the weather. Ploy explained how she prepared the curry and how she tracked down the missing trick to producing the aroma that reminds her of her grandmother's Khao Soi in Chiang Mai. I added Singha Thai beer and asked if they had Cha Ma Nao (Thai iced lime tea). Ploy said it's not on the menu but she would make it for me. At that moment I sensed that I had stumbled into (or was led to) a very special place. I am writing this review as I'm enjoying this extraordinary meal that was made with love and served with care and the pride that comes from being deeply invested in creating a personal work of art. The Khao Soi is delicious -- the curry, pickled veggies, egg noodles, crispy chicken and other ingredients are each perfectly prepared and the combination greeted me with an aroma that invited me to just stop and savor everything. Which I did. Every bite and every sip revealed something delightful: delicious flavors and wonderful textures that are the result of thoughtfulness, planning, careful preparation and the desire and will to present something special to guests. The Singha beer was a nice, crisp and refreshing compliment. Each sip was a reset and made the subsequent bites and sip of Khao Soi brand new. I chased this fantastic meal with the Cha Ma Nao prepared just for me. And I'm deliberately taking my time as each sip reminds me of the thoughtfully prepared meals I enjoyed in Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, Hat Yai and Songkhla and the dear friends and extended family in The Land of Smiles that made those meals so special for me. I don't want this meal to end, but I'm grateful that I can relive this experience and fond memories on-demand at the corner of Colfax and Marion.

Amazing service - came with my dog and they were so thoughtful and brought out a bowl of water for him as well! The Thai tea is a little too sweet for my liking but the soup and the pad Thai were great!

Was visiting Denver, and trying to find any Asian place that opened earlier. Found this place on yelp, and the roti looked good in photos. Ambience is cozy, lots of plants and personal decor. Family wanted some thing soupy so I got them the street noodle soup. Super very mediocre, the noodles were a little bit over cooked. Chicken was a generous portion, but overall pretty mediocre. Preference obviously plays into this, but this soup was too sweet. The roti was not bad, grilled meat tasted pretty good but... it was so small (refer to photos). For the price, even with inflation, definitely not worth it! I could probably make the same thing for less than $5. I really wanted to like this place, but it is way too expensive for what it's worth. Maybe I'm spoiled by California, but I'm not coming back.

What an awesome treat to have eaten at Lucky Noodles. This place is quirky but they don't mess around when it comes to cooking. I honestly didn't know that pad Thai could taste this good. After eating, we noticed they were awarded number 51 out of the top 100 places to eat according to Yelp. This makes total sense to us. Yum!

Yelp
Omg! Can't believe it took me years to come here. Quite possibly the best Thai I've had since going to Thailand. We absolutely loved the marinated pork roti appetizer - it's a must - the combination of the roti w juicy pork and fresh veggies was delicious. Then we also tried the paid Thai and pad see ew - both so good! Flavors were amazing and the noodle and meat were cooked perfectly. Also had a Thai iced tea on the side. Ambiance is super cute with a bunch of aloe and other plants and Ploy is very personable and attentive

I ordered the shrimp pad Thai tonight for dinner via door dash. I have driven past this spot and kept thinking I needed to stop in and give it a try. The shrimp pad was delicious. At first glance, I thought the portion was kind of small for the $20 spent on it, but it's really compressed in the container. This was probably the best pad Thai I've had in a while. The sauce was perfectly flavored with the right amount of acid. I'll have to stop in and try other things on the menu!

Brittany R.

Yelp
I got the Kha Soi many flavor levels from this dish. The broth was a curry based. It was both sweet and a little spicy. The sever gave me to note to squeeze the lime over it and then mix it up which helped. Along with the soup. I got the honey lemon soda. It had a nice balance of honey and lemon. It was also topped off with butterfly pea flowers tea. As far as the space. It's very small but if you have small group you should be fine. When I went it was pretty cold inside (maybe the heat wasn't working), so rushing to eat was kinda the only option. Overall the food is great. Hopefully the heat will be fixed soon!

I came to visit Denver to help the esteemed Matt C. with a major Yelp event, and of course we had to follow his recommendations for his favorite places to eat while in the area. He brought us to Lucky Noodles and I'm so glad that he did. Yelp top 100 restaurant? Check. Friendly and involved owner who cares a ton about her food? Check. Interesting atmosphere and an excellent place for conversation while enjoy a great meal? Total check. If I lived here, you can bet I would be gradually working my way down the entire menu. That said, since I only had this one night, I wanted to try a variety of things. We all started with a cup of Ploy's tasty and refreshing bubble teas, all opting for a different flavor, and each coming away happy and refreshed. We then worked our way through dumplings and filled roti into our main courses, where thanks to the conversation, I cannot even remember what I ordered... but can say with certainty that it was delicious. It was tangy, spicy, and tropical and a nice size portion. I soaked up as much of the sauce as I could with the rice, and didn't leave a morsel to take home. This is the kind of food that I could definitely eat every day quite happily, and can't wait for my next trip to Denver to try some more. You know what they say, when your roam, eat where the Yelpers eat!

Wonderful place, wonderful people, wonderful food! You really can't go wrong here with anything. There are some items that will test your tastebuds if you like spicy. But most can be adjusted to your liking. My favorite, Pineapple Express! Sweet and savory. The chicken is awesome. And you couldn't find a better business owner than Ploy. So friendly. Get here now!

You must come here! I had the kai soi and omg I will daydream about the marriage of flavors that is MAGIC! So balanced and savory- quick friendly service and amazing ambiance! So glad I finally got to come here! They are having a 4 year anniversary special coming up soon so I will be back for sure!!

Picked up the veggie green curry after a meeting and the staff was SO kind. They made me a lemon honey tea since it's so cold out and it's the best tea I've ever had. The curry is delicious with a good kick but not too spicy! Perfectly cooked rice. Can't wait to come back and try more and support this lovely business.

What a place! This unassuming little noodle shop is my new best reason to come back to my old neighborhood. The flavors and textures are out of this world and the staff is lovely. I was here for a Yelp event, so I was fortunate to be able to sample a large number of items. Everything I tried was delicious, but the Khao Soy w/ Fried Chicken was the standout for me. However, I feel strongly that I could order anything off of the menu and be completely delighted. I don't make it out to Cap Hill as often as I'd like nowadays, but the next time I do, I am absolutely taking my husband to Lucky Noodle. I know parking in Cap Hill is a pain, but it's worth dealing with that issue to come here. Alternatively, just hop on the 15 as it goes right past this place. It's just a great little spot.

A unique and unassuming spot that will blow your mind. There was a great sense of love, care and traditional roots in not only the food, but the service. Before a concert at The Fillmore, we stopped by to have an early dinner, and man, we didn't know the treat we were in for. Lucky Noodle is small, but mighty and super cute. You'd think with all the plants that the place would be bug infested, but the restaurant is very well kept and sanitary. The owner says she started out with one and it just kept growing and growing, haha! She was so sweet and made you feel right at home. Crab Cheese Wontons. Almost as good as my favorite wontons and served with plum sauce, my absolute fave. Vegetable Green Curry. Filled with all the goods and my favorite, bell peppers. The perfect serving size and great flavor. Pad See Ew. The best I've ever had and grandma's special sauce was a real treat and made the dish that much better.

Melanie T.

Yelp
If you're waiting around for your concert to start in one of the venues nearby and you're looking for a place to eat, stop by Lucky Noodles. The place is small so it gets packed easily. There are outdoor dining options but no one sat out there when we were in. The owner is really nice and it's a nice chill vibe inside. You order first and then you are seated. The pad Thai was really tasty and well cooked. There's a lot of flavors and a nice balance of noodles, veggies, and eggs. It comes in disposable plates so easy clean up. The pad see ew was just okay. If you're ordering to share and need one noodle dish, just go with the pad Thai option.

First time here and it's delicious! Ambiance and friendliness of staff are superb. We had the Kho Soy, Pineapple Express and the Papaya Salad and all were amazing (many kudos for the Kho Soy). We also had coffee and tea drinks and their espresso was delicious. Highly recommend.

Updating to 5 stars! Same as last time the vibes are so cute and cozy, and the owner is the sweetest person in the world! I got the red curry and WOW I would highly recommend! The spice level had me sweating, the chicken was tender, and sips of the sweet iced thai tea balanced it out perfectly. I will continue to come back!

Ordered OmG pad Thai from DoorDash and was really happy with it. Time: kitchen was fast Portion: great portion with plenty of pork Very flavorful . I liked the texture of the noodles even when it was delivered to me

I was invited here for a special event to try some of the favorites here. The restaurant is on Colfax with street paid parking or side street parking, free after 6pm. Ploy, the owner, is such a sweet lady. She came over while we were eating to tell us the Tom Kha has been simmered for six hours. Needless to say, I was excited to try! What I swallowed: *CURRY PUFFS: These are light and delectable, the curry flavor is not overpowering and the sweet sauce that accompanies it is the perfect pairing. *PAPAYA SALAD with GRILLED PORK: I appreciate that the grilled pork was served separately so that it stayed crispy when added to the papaya salad. The papaya salad is amazing but it self, with the perfect balance of tang and sweet and then just a delightful kick at the end for a bit of heat. This is a really good salad. *KRA PAO with GRILLED CHICKEN: Oftentimes I order grilled chicken and it just gets dry and stringy after it sits for a while. This was not the case. The grilled chicken in this dish is just so delicate and moist and just sopped up the kra pao sauce amazingly. The green beans in this dish also were very fresh. A well put together dish. *TOM KHA with GROUND PORK: Ploy (the owner) had come by and told us this dish is simmered for six hours, people, you MUST try this dish. So delicate with lots of layers for flavors. I ate every last piece of this dish. I still dream about this dish. It's so delicious and the ground pork tasted very fresh. *KHAO SOY with FRIED CHICKEN: I love me a penang curry and I can only explain this dish as a penang curry's cuter cousin. We were sure what was the special ingredient in this dish but what we all could agree on was that this dish was TASTY!!! Another favorite dish and a for sure dish that I will order in the future! *MANGO STICKY RICE: How can they serve such deliciousness smack in the middle of winter? The mango was perfectly ripened and of course, the rick was cooked perfectly topped with all the sticky rice cream sauce goodness. I'll order ten more of these please! The Canadian and I have been looking for our Thai go-to spot. Lucky Noodle is not in our neighborhood but 1001% it is my favorite Thai spot here in the Denver area to date. I can't wait to come back and try other of Ploy's amazing dishes!

I am so impressed with the food at Lucky Noodles. Last night I came to an event here and it was so good that I came right back for carry out the next day. Thankfully I was in the area because the Tom Yum tofu and veggie soup was absolutely perfect for the chilly and windy day we had today. I got my husband the chicken pad Thai and he has ranked this as the best pad Thai in Denver. Ploy, the owner, is so passionate and puts so much care into her food that it makes me want to come back and work my way through everything on the menu.

Thank you #MileHighAFW @MileHighAFW for introducing me to an amazing find in the Capitol area. The location sits within walking distance of the Cathedral of the Immaculate Heart. It is the perfect place to grab a weekend lunch. I ordered items from the secret menu and it was just divine. I wished I photographed the secret menu so I can figure out what I ate for the Sunday afternoon. When I packed it up, the leftovers were gone in a day. The spice level was medium but just right with the level of heat hitting me at the back of my throat. We were the first customers on Sunday afternoon. After opening, the line started to increase with customers who were on their personal Mile High Asian Food Week Tour. The owner was friendly and gracious. I wanted to see more history of this beautiful mom-and-pop eatery.

Theresa T.

Yelp
My friend recommended we check this place out because of Denver's Asian Food week. It was the only one I actually got around to see it but definitely worth it. The owner? came by and visited our table and she was the absolute sweetest. She told us the broth and some ingredients take a day or two to come to (why they're closed on Mondays and Tuesday's). Food here is DELICIOUS. It reminds me of home and gives off great home cooked meal vibes. Definitely come by here for lunch and support a local restaurant!

Yelp
An amazing, amazing place! First of all, the atmosphere is beautiful and relaxing with all the plants and quiet decor. The service is impeccable as the waitstaff takes the time to explain the menu and make suggestions. But the food is the best! We ordered the Kho Soi, Pineapple Express, the street noodle soup and the Tom Yum soup. The flavors in each are spectacular! Highly recommend this place!

Beth A.

Yelp
Cozy, adorable spot; incredibly sweet and attentive owner. The secret menu slaps - the khao soi is literally one of the best takeout dishes I've ever had from anywhere, ever. Don't skip her drink menu, either. So thankful to have this place in the neighborhood.

This spot is a must if you're in need of a noodle fix! I've ordered the hangover soup as a starter and the the pad se eaw for entree. I totally can see why the wonton soup is called a hangover soup since I crave something soupy with a nice kick of spice when I'm hungover. The pad se eaw was tasty and the portions are huge! The prices here are reasonable and the owner was super attentive and sweet! Don't forget to order Ploy's (the owner) special teas, great tasty drinks to end a great dinner!

What a delightful culinary treat after a trip to the Denver Zoo! When my partner and I were evaluating Thai places to eat for lunch, we saw Lucky Noodles on the 2022 Yelp Top 50 List and made our decision based on that. Relatively easy street parking on Colfax. We came for a late lunch so there was no crowd. This place gets crazy, but at least there's outdoor patio seating too. We chilled for a bit in front. There only seemed to be 2-3 people running this place, so expect delays. We were seated with paper menus, deciding on Pad Thai and Pineapple Fried Rice for our entrées. Get that Pad Thai spicy! For dessert, the kitchen had JUST made Mango Mousse Cake, so we ordered a slice of that in addition to my FAVORITE Mango Sticky Rice. Love the serene setting (maybe it's the plants) and wonderful service. The food is fantastic, especially the desserts. I always get Pad Thai to calibrate a new Thai restaurant then come back for more varied choices. Everything is reasonably priced, and the paper to-go containers they use as plates is reminiscent of street food. Well-designed, successful family business!

Food was decent, until I found plastic in my noodles. Very disappointed . I ordered the Pad see ew.

Amanda M.

Yelp
This is the cutest little Thai place! Lucky Noodles fits about 15-20 people or so in their plant-filled space and also does take out. Full disclosure: I went for a Yelp event, but I will 100% be back. The food was amazing from the spicy chicken amazingness to the fried pork noodle soup to the chicken curry. I'm pretty sensitive to spicy stuff and everything was perfect: enough to clear my sinuses but not enough to hurt. The owner was lovely and the rest of the staff was great as well!

Peter M.

Yelp
Oh my! What amazing flavors come out of this lovely little shop! There is options for vegetarian, pescatarian, and omnivores alike, and did I mention how darn tasty everything is? So far, I have tried about 8 very different items, and each was delicious. My favorite so far is the pork Tom Yum Soup, which is full of hearty noodles, intense flavor, and just a little spiciness. There are lunch and dinner portions, and this will definitely be on my short list of top lunch spots downtown!

Had a wonderful dinner for the Black Badge Elite Yelpers! We were able to dine on a sampling of the menu chosen by the owner Ploy. Her food is made with such love and care and it shows up in every bite. Walking into her restaurant is like walking into her home, her personality and passion shows in the decor just as much as it does in her food. If you're in the area stop in and check her out. Everything we tried was outstanding

Sarah Z.

Yelp
Food is good, drinks are good, service is always passable, the restaurant is mostly empty all the time so ambiance is welcoming. The only complaint is the excessive price, $25 for a bowl of fried rice and a tea is so far out there.

Matt C.

Yelp
Anyone who has the pleasure of dining at Lucky Noodles should consider themselves a lucky duck. The unassuming corner spot on Colfax delivers authentic Thai dishes and family recipes in an adorable setting. It starts with the people. Ploy, who's the owner and operator, is nothing but a delight to talk to. She engages with all her customers and emulates the feeling of "welcome to my home." Everything is made from scratch, and sometimes you're even lucky enough to find her mother (who's 80 years young) cooking in the kitchen. Obviously, you'll find your staple Thai dishes here like Pad Thai, Pad See Ew, Tom Kha, etc. However, the menu is concise compared to most takeout places and there are always slight twists or dishes that I'm unfamiliar with, which normally end up being my favorites! One of my favorites is the Pork Roti. It's a must order every time I go. This is Thai street food at its finest. Fresh, savory and the roti roll is spectacular. I wish we replaced tortillas with roti for most dishes! Additionally, the Grilled Pork and Fried Chicken dishes are exquisite. Yesterday I ordered a newer dish to the menu, Kra Pao, a spicy ground pork and basil stir fry. It was fantastic. Served piping hot with a side of perfectly cooked jasmine rice, I can see why this dish is so popular. The sauce was aromatic and flavorful, and not too heavy. It's also worth noting they make a vast assortment of specialty teas. Labeled "Ploy's Special Tea" on the menu, these cold drinks will help you beat the heat on any warm day. This is one of those mom and pop spots that I wish I visited more frequently. It's a warm, homey environment with truly excellent food and people behind the scenes. Would 1000% recommend Lucky Noodles to just about anyone!

Super nice vibes!!! The food is so high quality and fresh. Spicy actually means something here! The owner is also very friendly and personable.

Can you REALLY trust a 5 star review? Listen up and let's see. This is a small family owned operation. They put every ounce of their love and care into these dishes. I believe the care and love they put into the food will come back to them 3 fold. It's truly the best Thai food I've ever had. Complex yet balanced. So many intense flavors that sing in harmony on your tastebuds. I nearly cried while slowly devouring the Papaya salad. Fried chicken. Red curry with tofu. Green curry with tofu. Housemade teas and their mango sticky rice. It has a gentle saltiness in the gloriously sticky rice that plays effortlessly against the creamy slices of fresh succulent mango. Please go and thank me later. It's an honor to taste this incredible food. Not to mention the incredibly kind, sweet, and grateful hostess who took my order at the counter. The service was like dining at your auntie's house who just loves when you're happy. I'm missing it already and I just ate there 2 nights ago!

Really loved the Pad Thai - Wasn't overly saucy which I thought they did very well. Pad See Eew was solid. Pineapple Fried Rice was alright but not my favorite. Play it safe and get the Pad Thai!

One of my favorite spots in Denver! Tom Yum Soup is my regular go-to and it never disappoints!

My friend so kindly offered to bring my husband and I over some dinner when she came so our pups could have a play date. I wanted to try somewhere new and since she lives in a different part of town I suggested Lucky Noodles. I ordered the Omg Pad Thai and some jalapeño Crab Cheese Wontons to share. The pad Thai was solid but nothing I couldn't find at most other Thai restaurants. The jalapeño crab cheese wontons were a bit of a disappointment. They travelled well and still had a nice crunch and I did enjoy you could actually taste some spice but the rest of the filing was just ehh. What gave it a 4 star over 3 was how my friend kept talking about how darn nice the staff was. She said they went out of their way to thank her for her purchase. Nowadays I feel like that's super important to feel valued as a customer because there's so many other restaurants we could go to in Denver especially when the food ended up not standing out.

Food:50/50 Service: 25/25 Ambience: 25/25 Total 100 BAAAAAAANGERRRRRRRR!!!! You know a place is the real deal when they run out of food and got to close shop up for the day! My friends and I sat down and ordered the whole menu LOL We all agreed Lucky Noodles serves up the best thai food in denver, perioddd. Btw - iced tea was *chefs kiss* sooooo good Fresh, and authentic-- the owner was soo kind and sweet. CANT wait to be back!

This is a true hidden gem with family owned roots. Extremely fresh ingredients spread across the menu from Rangoon's to dumplings and soup. Make sure you try their signature drinks and although they keep the recipes a secret, they are all amazing juices. Chicken is cooked perfectly and the sauces set apart the dishes. Thank me later, follow me now, stay eatin' bruh!

This place ROCKS. The owner Ploy is an absolute gem and serves up dishes that feed the soul. Lucky Noodle is a cozy spot that makes you feel at home the moment you walk in the door. Now let's talk food. I'm not usually one for sweet beverages but when I do indulge I usually go for the most over the top thing on site. Ploy pointed me in the direction of the gummy bear with fresh squeezed lime juice, mango syrup and soda topped off with some cute lil gummy bears on top. I'm already daydreaming of sipping on this on the patio this summer! The Curry Puffs were such a tasty appetizer to get things going filled with potato, carrots, onions and yellow curry. The Khao Soy was epic! The fried chicken on top was so delicious and juicy, the broth was silky with a perfect kick of heat and the noodles were perfectly chewy. I hadn't had pickled mustard cabbage before but it added such a nice zing to the dish. Wrapped up with the Sticky Mango Rice which I took to go. The mango was perfectly ripe and the sticky rice had just the right amount of sweetness. Many thanks to Ploy & the awesome people behind Lucky Noodles for a memorable evening! Can't wait to return soon for more of Ploys genius dishes.

Maybe the hyped reviews have hyped me too much. I lived in a Thailand, and was craving ethnic food that reminded me of Thailand. They definitely fulfilled me need with the pad kra pow, but I had to add an egg when usually it comes with one. But I have to admit it was delicious. The perfect amount of spice and flavor. I loved that they had different drinks. So yummy and fun. We started with the grilled pork jerky. It was delicious and flavorful and juicy. The fried chicken for me was a total let down. I don't know why they gave tortilla chips in the for place?! And the chicken was nothing like in Thailand. It felt more like orange chicken with no sauce. I probably would not get it again. I will definitely be back.

What an adorable place. Service was reasonable. Food... meh. The Pad See Ew was barely passable. With a name like "Lucky Noodles," you would think the establishment would invest in some legit noodles, not some bottom shelf, low-quality noodles for a dish like Pad See Ew. Also tried the Green Curry... the depth of flavor characteristic of Thai food was absent from these dishes. The price was way too high for the quality of the dishes... these are $9-$10 value dishes and they are selling them for $18. Hope they can figure it out. It's a cute place.

Great food. As good as any I have ever had. Only issue is it's size. Very small. Moving forward, I will be a regular customer.

A little pricey in my opinion, but I think it's still worth it. I tried the pineapple fried rice w/ chicken and was not disappointed. Overall great food and friendly service, I will definitely be back to try more of the traditional Thai dishes.

This place is an absolute masterpiece of a thai restaurant. We had the Tom Yum Noodle Soup and the Kho Soy. Both of them were genuinely some of the best thai dishes I've ever had. The flavor is bursting and the ingredients are as fresh as it gets. The owner is amazing holding down the front of house with all of her energy. I am not from here but I would fly back just to eat here again

Yum! A friend from out of town wanted to try this place and I was doubtful, but so good. The food came out in lunch trays and you could tell that it was all handmade. I love supporting Asian owned restaurants in Colorado, and the employees here were incredibly sweet. Our hostess kept checking in on us and kept thanking us, but we were the ones grateful for the delicious food that they had served us. Definitely check this place out! The teas are refreshing and unexpectedly one of my favorite parts of this meal.

Stopped by very hungry & ordered a dish to go. Got the "special" pineapple express (pictured) which was $18, plus tax & tip, even though I ordered in house & waited to take it home. Got it home & was extremely disappointed. There were a few minuscule pieces of chicken. $20 for this? Are you kidding? I've never felt like a bigger sucker. I wanted to take it back so bad but my time is also valuable. Plus the crab wontons tasted microwaved with zero indication of crab being an actual ingredient. I'm a 16 year neighbor & will never return. So tired of Denver restaurants being so half-assed & people actually reviewing them as 5 star. 1 star is pushing it here. A can of Chun King would have been far more satisfying.

I cannot think of a reason why this place doesn't deserve a 5 star. We traveled to Denver from LA for a weekend trip and stumbled upon this place. Had such a lovely experience! Food: we ordered the OMG pad Thai and the red curry, both are AMAZING. The pad Thai has such a rich flavor: sweet, sour, and the unique Thai aromas. This is easiest one of the best pad Thai I've had. The red curry also has great flavors, I could taste the coconut milk and the spices come through perfectly. The portion size is not the the biggest but the quality definitely makes up for it. Very authentic flavors. Service: we came in around 2:30pm for lunch, wasn't expecting a lot of customers but actually arrived just a little later than 2 large groups. We needed up sitting outside in the shaded area, had a nice breeze on a sunny day. The owner was so kind to bring our food a little earlier than the large party since there's only 2 of us. Owner was very sweet and showed a lot of appreciation for us coming in - definitely feel that this pandemic has make it very difficult for small business like hers. Price & parking: street parking only but we didn't seem to have a problem with finding a spot. I thought prices were on the expensive side given the amount of food you're getting. But honestly I'd rather spend my money on a smaller portion of something that actually tastes very good! Overall, strongly recommend!

Visiting Denver for the weekend and this popped up as a recommendation close to the brewery we were at. WOW! It was amazing .... The flavors of everything were amaze balls! Looks like small portions but we left soooo full. Please visit and support.
