Silk Thai Cafe

Such delicious food with phenomenal pricing, hard to find such a great value anymore. Plenty of parking for the small, intimate restaurant. We had the crispy tofu and fresh rolls to start. I love that the rolls come with picked veggies on the side with peanut sauce. Both starters were delicious and well seasoned. Went with noodles and enjoyed pad thai with tofu and pad see ew with chicken, the noodles are heaven and the sweet sauce blends everything together with great depth of flavor. Love having a local spot like this!

most beautiful Thai restaurant I've ever been to and I've been to a LOT of Thai restaurants. the atmosphere? amazing. the service? fantastic! and the food ??? I can't say enough great things about this place. this will definitely be a regular spot for me.

I don't typically comment much on decor but this restaurant has some notably beautiful decor and ambiance that is extremely unique and lends to a romantic and upscale experience. The food is prepared and served expertly and at a great price-point. It's a good value, especially for lunch. Check out this great menu of options! Everything I've tried here is solidly delicious.

Been here twice and the food is very tasty. One thing they could improve on is providing more meat with the dish you order. I had 4 to 5 small chunks of meat. I left hungry both times I ate here. Service was friendly and atmosphere was great. Recommend to treat yourself.

Had a delicious meal with great friends here! Wonderful atmosphere, friendly service, and awesome food! If you love Thai food, this place is a must!

This is a really lovely Thai place. The guy that works up front is very passionate about the place, he took the time to not only ask how we found out about this place, but also how we felt about the place and its food when we left. The waiter seemed a little nervous, but he made up for it with how attentive and kind he was. The food itself was good, not the best Thai I’ve ever had, but definitely something I’d enjoy coming back to. I got the Spicy Chicken and Basil, which I had had in other places before. It wasn’t as good as other places, in my opinion, but it was still good and spicy. My mom got Terriyaki Chicken, which I think was my favorite of the things we got. Very flavorful, and it came with a salad which I didn’t personally try, but she said was very good. My brother got the Dan Dan Noodles, which weren’t my thing because I don’t like peanuts, but even so I can say it was rather pleasant. The noodles were the perfect texture. I also got mango juice, which was delicious. I might be biased since I love mangos, but it tasted fresh. Kind of felt like someone squeezed a mango into my cup and didn’t do anything else to it, unlike the mango juice you get where they’ve added sugar or milk to make it “better” (not referring to the Indian mango drink, lassi, which is a whole other thing that I also enjoy). Oh yeah, and we got the Veggie Rolls as an appetizer. Nothing crazy, just spring rolls, but they were very good. They came with what I think was duck sauce as well, which I love. Overall I’d say this place is definitely recommend by me, and we will be coming back.

Really good food and the atmosphere in the back dining area was enchanting (nope, not exaggerating). Staff was appropriate with just the right amount of attention (they anticipated our needs, gave great customer service, but they weren't overbearing or overly interruptive). I had no idea I would love this place so much!

Our server Sam was stellar, quick, friendly, polite, and personable. He mad us feel right at home. The food was outstanding. ( the best Tai food in the state.) Dessert was also amazing, and the kicker was that it all is at a reasonable price. I was so impressed, even the atmosphere was amazing. Not apparent at all from the street. I just became a regular, me and my family. Great job! I'm in. 100%

Gluten free options and they were able to accommodate my other allergies, too. Fun restaurant vibe. Some people describe it as Indiana Jones, but the Thai woodwork is amazing to behold.

Used to be delicious, now it's lumpy and poorly-spiced. They can't nail the heat, meaning ordering a 3-star spice level can either burn to the point I can't eat it, or have no spice at all.

We had the Dan Dan Noodles, Pad See Ewe, and Bangkok Noodles. We ordered takeout, which may have affected my satisfaction with the meal and service. I was told 20 mins when I placed my order and showed up at my correct pickup time, but then was asked to wait another 15 minutes upon arrival, which was kind of a bummer. Then, all three noodle dishes were really really salty. The flavor profile was right other than perhaps excess soy sauce? Not sure if this was a one-off experience or not because I hear great things from everyone I talk to. I'll likely try it again because I'm sure it was a fluke.

The dinner we purchased last night was so horrible we threw it out. What has happened to Silk That? It used to be wonderful. All of our food tasted rancid

This place is a total hidden gem. It doesn't look like much from the outside but the interior is really wildly decorated and the food is really good. I love that they have Chang and singha beer which can be hard to find in the US. Their menu is pretty typical Thai for us restaurants and they have all the hits. I found the wait staff to be really friendly and attentive. Over all I'd rate them Food 8/10 ambiance 9/10, service 10/10, price point 11/10! and an extra point because I love Chang beer. Definitely recommend if you're in Tacoma

I got the panang curry. It was good, but i was a little confused why there were a lot of green peas. It didn't add to the dish and I didn't like it in there. Also, would've preferred the curry to be a little thicker. Slightly watery for my liking. It took awhile for our food to come out. The service was good. And the restaurant is overall a bit dark.

There is NO better Thai place within 100 miles all directions. From the outside you would never guess that inside , merely 89 feet from busy 6th Ave , is a romantic quiet interior which you will see 100 % of the space reflects Thai artifacts. Silky is the best book of special recipes. My wife and I have attended probably 40 times or more. Before passing away, my mom and stepdads favorite place was here too- mom loved the crab and rice dish. Special hot sauce if you ask for it too. Simply the best Thai I know of and compare every one else to the best: Silk Thai!

The atmosphere and decor was very nice. The food was very good..had the Cashew Chicken....but the spice rating of 3 was not very spicy.

I think I've been here three times in the last month and a half. That's quite a bit for me. I also keep ordering the same thing because it's delicious. I love their fresh spring rolls with tofu, the red curry with tofu, and the brown and sticky rice. The coconut sake is also fantastic! It's a very small place, but super nice inside. You definitely wouldn't know this at first glance being unassuming in a strip mall. I wish reservations were an option, but aside from that, the service is fantastic and every experience I have had has been stellar.

We ordered several dishes and I'd consider each only fair. There was nothing particularly good. The flavor profiles of the various dishes were flat and surprisingly similar. On a positive note, the people working there were really nice.

I enjoyed this Thai food. We shared the fresh rolls which were very tasty. I liked the peanut sauce a lot! I had the basil chicken for dinner. It was very tasty and flavorful. I'd stop by again for dinner sometime!

I hadn't been in Silk Thai Cafe for at least a dozen years, but remembered their crab wonton was an orgasmic experience. Upon walking through the front door, the first employee to greet me ask if I was picking up for Uber eats. Thinking I was funny I said "no, but I'm Uber hungry and I'm ready to eat". Didn't get a sideways smirk or a courtesy laugh...instead I got ignored by three employees for 10 minutes and never got a table. My dignity and my grandmother's voice in my head forced me to leave. I'm not sure they even noticed or cared. Bummed I couldn't give that crab wonton another try. Words of wisdom, Silk Thai... treat your dine in customers better or just go full delivery.

Meh. The service was soooooo slow. The food mediocre. I asked for 4 stars - the drunken noodles were quite bland. Not spicy, not flavorful, not very warm.

I've lived across the street from this place for 5 years and always wanted and intended to try it. I did for the first time yesterday. Boy have I been missing out! We got the DanDan noodles with chicken, pineapple fried rice with prawns and the short ribs. Everything was delicious, fresh and generous portions. I can't wait to try out more.

Great food! It was a little wait for takeout but everything was excellent And good Thai food is hard to find.

I had an excellent experience at Silk Thai. My yellow curry chicken was the best I've ever had. The inside of the restaurant is absolutely beautiful. The decor really added to the experience and set a great atmosphere, I highly recommend, the service was top notch.

Glad to have indoor dining again - so much better when it's fresh and hot. Typically very good and reliable. Might have to go back soon!

One of my favorite restaurants. The food is the best. The prices are great. The ambience is wonderful.

Seriously the BEST Thai food in Tacoma. And the staff are SO nice. When they had to be take out only we ordered from them almost weekly but I'm so glad they're back to dine in. I love the ambiance inside.

I had my first taste of Thai food at Silk Thai years ago when they first opened. I lived across the street from the restaurant and it soon became my favorite. We moved across town and weren't able to come in as often then it closed down for a while and we moved out of the city. Imagine my surprise when I came to town and my son wanted to go there for dinner. Sukie is still cooking the best Thai food around! We had the pleasure of meeting Emma who was an engaging and charming and a great waitress. Now that I know they are still open I will be coming to town more often. And the decor is so interesting and unique.

Moved to the area this year and have been looking for our Thai restaurant. This is it! Every dish we ordered was freakin delicious! Prices are reasonable and the decor is awesome! Coming back very soon.

We will be back! I got my yellow curry at level 4 heat and it was absolutely phenomenal. The appetizers were delicious and the sauce on the wings was good enough I should have asked if they would sell me some to bring home. Sukie is an artist in the kitchen and I was overjoyed to be able to experience her food. The restaurant is a little dark but the food more than makes up for any complaint you could possibly have. 100/10 would definitely go again. I'm overjoyed to have leftovers today!

The Pad Thai was great and fresh I will eat there again and do takeout at least once a week.

Quick service, very tasty lunch special (teriyaki beef) and good value! Basic, small eat-in area, but clean and big enough for the lunch crowd.

This is my favorite spot to get yellow curry in Tacoma! The layout of the dining area is absolutely gorgeous, and as someone sensitive to LEDs, I appreciate the dim lighting. Perfect-sized portions for leftovers the next day!

It is my first time stopping in, but wont be my last! The Atmosphere, staff and food was great. I had the Curry Duck and a Chang lager. Great lunch.

Great food, nice ambiance and great service we have never been disappointed. My husband and I shared the fresh spring rolls with chicken and peanut sauce then red curry with duck pineapple mushrooms and tomatoes over rice. The duck was so tender and the curry was delicious with just the right spice. Dessert was Pandan custard over sticky milk and covered with coconut milk. Suki the owner works in the kitchen too, we have been going there since 2003 and just love her food!

A little hidden gem in the heart of Tacoma! If you love Thai food, you're in for a treat the moment your step foot into Silk Thai Cafe! The decor is like you've transported to Thailand . Beautiful statues, artifacts, lighting, candles... definitely a welcoming vibe. Don't let the small wait for a table detour your decision. Once seated we were greeted quickly by our waiter to take our drink order then shortly after our food order. Once the food arrived, it was such a beautiful presentation. The cook really takes pride in the dishes . Everything was very flavorful. Loyal customer here!

I've been wanting to try this place for awhile and finally had the opportunity! The interior is a bit dark yet the restaurant is clean and fresh. Those two things don't normally go hand in hand, haha. They put out a recent "spring menu" with some fun and fresh ideas, and I tried the Thai sausage. I was not disappointed in any of the food I ordered and the server girl (Tram) was super nice and efficient. I ordered the Thai sausage, lettuce wraps and hot tea. Normally I'd order the Pad Thai yet thot I'd try something different. I was super happy I stepped out of my comfort zone to try new things! Service and food were both excellent, I'll be back! PS SUPER IMPORTANT! I told my waitress, Tram that I was allergic to wheat. It didn't occur to me until I was about to leave, she never once brought anything to the table to compromise my health. When she brought my check, there were no fortune cookies like she took to the other table. I'm so impressed!

Amazingly great food! A little dark, inside but really great food. Try the Nibbler Platter We can't wait to return. Dessert, yummiest The prices are really within reason. No wait.

It was our first time at the Silk Thai Cafe. Our server, Emma was very quick witted and helpful with the menu. The food was delicious and we loved the atmosphere. We will definitely eat here again and again!

Very Good food and pleasant atmosphere Recommended There Curry Dishes are very tasty

Phenomenal Thai food, always fresh & delicious. Really comforting dishes. I want to try everything on the menu. The inside is so cute too! Beautiful spot. Highly recommend

Went here with my fiancé while just browsing 6th Ave. Was really busy, had to wait 25 minutes for a table and after eating I know why it was packed. I got the Royal Duck Curry and my fiancé got the green curry. Holly hell I am not the biggest fan of duck but thought why not. THE BEST Thai food both her and I have ever had even with being to Thailand before!! Super happy to see both Chang and Singha beer served there! Servers were friendly and the host Chris was extremely knowledgeable about the food being served!

(the 5th star is for encouragement.) Just a great little restaurant. Period. First and foremost, the staff are mature, friendly, efficient and knowledgable. We never felt rushed, and everything was there when we needed it. We came on a busy Friday night with lots of take-out order action, yet our table service was attentive. The ambience is lovely. Tasteful jazz and bebop played at a comfortable volume (i.e. you can easily hold a conversation). Decor and theming that rivals a Disneyworld restaurant, every square inch filled with SE Asian antiques, pillars and spiritual artifacts. The lighting was also well done, candles everywhere (both real and flame bulbs), and just the right level of room overhead. Another big bonus: padded booths! Now the food: We ordered the beef short rib appetizer, which were thin kalbi style, slathered in somewhat spicey stuff and grilled. Served with pickled veggies and two sauces, these ribs were very tasty, and the darker sauce sent me right back to Phuket. Then the crunchy salad, which was a refreshing combination of romaine and other vegetables in a tangy citrus dressing, with fried wonton strips and chicken. Delightful. Now, the Phad See Ew. This dish, while good, was the only one we thought could use a bit more attention from the cook. Ideally, this dish would include a bitter green like chinese broccoli, to balance the sweetness of the sauce. Instead, the cook used grocery store broccoli, which provided no bitterness at all, and had a slightly-off flavor. The broccoli was also undercooked, a bit raw/chewy in the center. Some of the noodles were unseparated, leading to a few very chewy bites until i peeled them apart with my fingers, revealing the white unsauced/slightly undercooked noodle inside. It was a busy night, and perhaps the cook didn't have time to soak and stir/separate the noodles completely. Just our opinion, but the dish might also be a touch heavy on the fish sauce element. The menu, though mostly traditional Thai, is studded with a few unusual dishes and innovations we hadn't seen offered before. I think the chef, who i'm told is Thai, is very good, and I encourage her to stretch out her creativity in the special dishes on offer. Last but not least, the prices are very fair. Asian food can be so disappointing in Tacoma, but this place is a gem.

Amazing food! Romantic environment with lots of heavy wood carvings and sculptures. Service is amazing. Highly recommend

My favorite Thai restaurant is the Silk Thai on 6th St. In Tacoma. I am never disappointed in the quality of their dishes. And their Chicken Pad Thai with the fresh bean sprouts and cilantro is delish and there is always enough for leftovers.

Amazing! Great food choices and results! All things ordered were above expectations! Friendly service!

Ordered ahead for takeout at the college kid's suggestion and I wished we'd done it sooner! Not a significant amount of vegetarian options but we love spice and the noodle and rice pad thais were both delicious. The vegetable fried rice is a kid favorite and we all loved the spicy green beans (really spicy) and fried spring rolls. Portions are HUGE! Two to three filling meals with each entree huge. We'll definitely be ordering takeout again soon!

Be aware. The price on their website menu is different than what you will get charged, about $2-3 more. I ordered 3 dishes. On their website, they were listed for 8.95, 12.95 and 11.95. I got charged for 10.95, 14.95 and 13.95. The explanation I got was the website was not updated. I told the guy at the front that it was not that I couldn't afford it, just felt cheated and tricked. The guy threw me with " we are working on it" and walked away. No apologies nor thanks. Will NOT return again.

I tried Silk Thai for the first time this evening and was absolutely AMAZED at everything it had to offer. Starting with the service, the host and the waiter we had this evening were quite phenomenal. They both always had the biggest smile on their face and had great customer service. Then came the food. I had the beef yellow curry at a 3 star spice and it was delicious!! Everything was so authentic, the spice was right on, and the presentation was great. The good food, along with the great decor made for the perfect evening. The head Chef Suki definitely knows her stuff. I ended the night with some delicious black rice pudding and Sake and I left the restaurant a very happy and very full human being. I am excited to bring the rest of my family here soon!

I'll do a firm pass on ordering takeout again. The basic chicken pad Thai wasn't very good. The noodles were very gummy, I didn't even finish it. Sorry to be negative but pad Thai shouldn't be hard to nail.

So Good...period. The gentleman taking orders is very friendly. The food used to be really good. I would visit at i east once a week. Lately I've noticed a change in the food. It doesn't taste as good or as fresh. I haven't been in a couple of months because of this. But it definitely seems like something has changed in the kitchen. I hope whatever it is they fix it.

This is our go to Thai place. It's half a mile from our house, but if it moved to a place farther away, it'd still be our go to. Eggplant with a tofu is fantastic as are so many others. Highly recommend.

The food is well done and the people are very friendly. My go to place for Thai food in Tacoma particularly for delivery

Good Thai food overall! 1. Restaurant is a bit dark- just a forewarning! 2. Fresh salad rolls with tofu were very good. I especially enjoyed the peanut dipping sauce! 3. I ordered the panang curry with chicken which was very good- spicy, coco nutty peanut flavor with broccoli peas and zucchini. it does not come with rice, but you can order jasmine rice for $1. 4. My friend ordered pineapple fried rice, which I thought was also very good. She was disappointed because it was not as "genuine" as other pineapple friend rice which generally include raisins and cashews. Nonetheless, I liked it!

I was craving a very specific meal and this was one of the only places around that had Dan Dan Noodles with chicken. It was SO GOOD!! I picked up my food to go the staff was very kind and my food was ready quick. Will definitely be back again to try more of their menu!

Good food good service. The hot levels run a little higher than the places I frequent so go a star lower when ordering and adjust using the spices they bring to the table.

I was hungry for some Pad Thai today and decided I'd like to try it from Silk Thai Cafe. The server was friendly and helpful! I look forward to being able to sit down at Silk Thai Cafe for a meal! The Pad Thai was delicious!
