Thaiphoon Bistro

Ratings below, description below as well. I ordered a Panang Curry which came with broccoli and a side of white rice (about 1 cup). Taste: 6.8 Freshness: 5.8 Portion Size: 7.4 Texture: 6.8 Plating: 7 Restaurant Appeal: 7.1 Service: 7.5 Overall 6.91 Broth is runny, not viscous at all. Like a soup rather than a sauce. A nice spice to it. Standard to a sweet/savory taste. Rice is standard. Set aside and cooked well. Broccoli is good, solid crunch but cooked. Could be a bit more steamed. The meat is the typically the staple of the dish, but not this one. Unfortunately, the chicken does taste chewy, rubbery, frozen. For sure defrosted and heated again, but the frozen taste is apparent and ruins the dish. Overall, the sauce carries this dish tremendously. It’s addictive, though, a bit too sweet. I would tone the sugar content down 10-20% I would have done with a different meat if I knew this one was frozen, hoping it’s not like this for other dishes. The experience was typical, nothing out of the ordinary and service was friendly. I would come here under the contingency that you don’t go as soon as they open. Maybe later throughout the day when they have more fresh product!

This place is great. The food is amazing, they do take out or dine-in (although the dining area is small) it has a warm atmosphere, there is a covered outdoor seating too, and the staff here are very kind. I've had the pad Thai and crab rangoons as take out last week and they were amazing. And today I had the steamed muscles and duck soup. Both were also amazing. *Edit: I said shrimp not muscles in my original post, I've corrected it. Been here a few more times since, love the place.

I was in the mood for Thai food and stumbled on this place. I ended up doing a delivery order of shrimp pad thai and chicken green curry. The chicken green curry was absolutely delicious and the shrimp pad thai, though flavorful was a bit dryer than Im used to in a pad thai dish. The protein was cooked perfectly. I would absolutely try here again to see what there other selections are like.

It wasn't great. I wanted to like it since it's an Asian small business, but the food lacked flavor and was worth a lot. It's a small space with hardly any staff so you have to catch them when they come out of the kitchen. I ordered pad see ew and there was hardly any Thai flavor that tasted more like the plastic filling for dental work. I also ordered a papaya salad that had more lettuce than papaya and also lacked flavor until I let it marinate in the fridge for a day. I wished it was better and would eat there again, but it's a one and done for me.

We really wanted to like it. However, it was very disappointing and tasted nothing like authentic Thai Food. They have some odd variation of wide noodles…that were not wide and seemed over cooked in our three dishes. The sauces also were not the flavors that usually come with these dishes (for example, the drunken noodles). It was a very sad experience for our group. If you look at the dishes you’ll see, but notice how both dishes look the the same Pad See Ew.

I had Shrimps Lard Na . It was really tasty !! The flavors remind me of the Lard Na I had in Thailand. Highly recommend this dish if you haven’t already had it. The service was great very nice and friendly staff.

They gave us the smallest portion for $20, which normally Thai places give you a serving of at least 2 meals for that price. It also made my stomach extremely upset, pick a different Thai place, no offense.

Definitely a cozy low key spot. Seems to mainly be catered to takeout, but there is out door seating available. The thaiphoon pad Thai was amazing and the crystal noodles were aesthetically pleasing as well as delicious. The service was very good as well. Definitely will be back!

This is not Thai food. Not even close. Boiled chicken. Watered down curries and sauces. Not cooked enough. Oily noodles. Really disappointing, especially given the prices. Won't be going back.

This is our favorite place to eat in Raleigh. We drive two hours to eat here. We mainly order the cashew chicken and the orange duck, but even if we venture out onto other things, everything is wonderful. The pork shumai are great and delicate, the vegetarian eggrolls are fantastic, the sweet-and-sour is really good, even the house salad tastes good. Someday I'll venture and try a few other things, but when you drive two hours, I prefer to get what I already know, and I am just too satisfied. We do not order out, we always eat there, even though there are only two tables. Anyone who doesn't like Thaiphoon Bistro is either lying, jealous, or crazy.

Worst dang pad Thai that I have ever had. Dry noodles and unflavored. Was delivered on door dash but she was quick driver. Take-out or delivery is likely old food. Disappointed customer that's quite surprised about this order. Normally, Thai is an excellent cuisine. Likely they cut corners b/c North Carolina doesn't have an abundance of demand for niche Asian food. #crappy

Overall: Really solid food. Painful wait times. Pad Thai (3/5): Good flavor, though the ratio of items were off. Too many noodles and not enough fillings (meat/veggies) and sauce. Would venture for a different noodle dish or curry if we were to go back. Pad Ma Keur (4/5): Favorite dish of the night. Super flavorful and relatively light. Really appreciated the use of chinese eggplant, versus regular eggplant. Good with pork and with tofu. Added broccoli to give this dish a bit more texture. Would order again. Bonus: Order well in advance. Our 40 min wait turned into a 75 min wait, and we weren't the only ones there who had to wait ~2x beyond the time originally stated. This alone has left me uncertain as to whether we'll order from here again, which is a bummer as the food was really solid. Hope they get this right.

Food is great but it's such a bad customer experience when you change your hours and don't update them on Apple Maps.

My overall experience here was awful. Disclaimer: I did order through uber eats (some stuff you just have to have at the restaurant). There was no flavor in either entree and I am no tofu expert but the golden triangle was also flavorless and the dipping sauce was mediocre at best. The only reason I'm not rating this lower is because as stated above, I had it delivered.

One of the best crab rangoons in Raleigh. They have great lunch specials. We recommend their red curry and pad Thai

Went in to give them a try and I ordered the Sweet & Sour Chicken lunch special. It comes with a salad and steamed rice. I will say that I did not enjoy the main dish. It was way too sweet for me. Like candy sweet....so I'm giving them 3 stars for now. I'll give another dish a try and report back here.

So happy Thaiphoon has opened on Creedmoor! I ordered takeout and my food was ready early (the grubhub estimated time for pickup isn't always reliable- call the restaurant directly to see if you can get your deliciousness early :) I ordered tom kha soup, som tum salad and Pad Prig Khing with chicken (all heat level hot). It was spicy and delicious- perfect for a cold evening. I'm looking forward to to trying more of their menu.

I'm not sure what is up with Thai food in Raleigh, but this was recommended many times and I just fine it "okay" I personally have more success making Thai food at home. I primarily like noodle based dishes, like Pad See Ew or Drunkin' Noodle and Thaiphoon is fine to scratch the Thai food itch in a pinch but it's not amazing.

My wife ordered Khoa Soi and Massaman curry (for my daughter). Khoa Soi: Way too sweet for our taste. This is one dimensional...sweet. I do not get any of the wonderful explosion of flavors (dance in your mouth) herbs and spices that come with Thai cooking. Khoa Soi: Zanyu is better in my opinion. Massaman: Okay. This is a sweet peanut curry, however I find the balance of flavor is off. Too much galangal/gingergrass...overpowering flavor. I am not sure how this and other Thai/Malaysian restaurants are getting rave reviews. These are tad below average at best (on a good day). This is purely my opinion.

I got the drunken noodles and they were so bland there was no way to correct it! Will not order from here again!

We order almost every week. The food is delicious and super fresh. I like supporting locally owned restaurants

Ordered food at 541 pm. Was told would be ready between 615-630. Got there at 615. As of 630, no sign of food. Was told"soon". At 640, was told ", ten minutes". At 7, I asked to speak to someone from back and she said due to them being busy,.my order had not been started yet. At which point I cancelled my order Glad I spent my"family night" waiting for food that never came. Multiple door dash workers never got their customers orders or if they did, were REALLY late. Do NOT order from here.

We decided to try the ghost kitchen at Flavor District. We ordered chicken lettuce wraps, satay, and chicken lo mein. The lettuce for the "wraps" couldn't be used to wrap anything. And the chicken was flavorless and cut into large, boiled pieces of chicken and there was a sauce at the bottom. The lo mein was congealed and had a rancid aftertaste. We refuse to believe that this is authentic Thai food. Never going back again. Try at your own risk.

Orders pad Thai for pickup. The pictures look amazing. When I got home, the noodles were congealed. I had to cut them with a spoon to separate them. I don't know why the sauce is, but it's not authentic. It's more of a super sweet base with a load of gochuchang. It was truly gross. Also, they don't add vegetables like the photos. Mine was literally noodles and strips of beef. Thai food down here is not like the food I've had up north. I'm still on the hunt.

Good food that has somewhat authentic Asian dishes. Veggies taste fresh and are crisp. Broad array of dishes which is great. Watch the spice level - I can handle spicy food and ordered a mild and it was hot - I'd advise to call if this is an issue for you. Food is also ready very quickly, and they're very fast with their service. We like the food here and eat probably once a month - haven't been disappointed yet!

I was rushing to my yoga class at Corepower and upon arriving, I was locked out! (My fault for being late) I decided I wanted my trip to count so I explored the plaza to seek some comfort food. Lo and behold! I happened upon Thaiphoon Bistro and bought some Panang Curry. The place had only been open for a week but they seemed to have everything on lock. Service was great, food came out quickly with perfect spice and sweetness levels, AND the owner gave me a free cloth mask. My tragic tale definitely turned around thanks to Thaiphoon Bistro!

Yummy food. Great selection. Friendly staff. Quick service Open on mondays and when you want them

So, so, so glad this location finally opened! The folks inside are so nice and very helpful. I was able to get one menu item tweaked super easily. Food turned out delicious. My whole family enjoyed, my 1 year old ate an entire spring roll. Kids meals are the perfect portion. I had the Hawaiian Stripper and it was fantastic! I can't wait to order again and try something new!

BORING! The same sauce for most of the dishes. Wouldn't do it again unless I was desperate for thai. Sorry!

Never had crab rangoons full of filling as theirs, and super tasty 10/10 recommend. Thaiphoon pad thai was flavorful as well but next time I will do more spicy.

The food is always great and so easy to pick up. So happy that a location opened up in N. Raleigh.

One of the least authentic Thai restaurants I've ever tried. Ordered takeout this past Sunday and was extremely unimpressed. (I currently live in Queens, NY where there's a Mecca of albeit, much better, Thai restaurants there to compare.) Our order consisted of the Pra Ram (peanut curry special), Pad Thai, Som Tum (papaya salad), Pad See Ew, Pineapple Fried Rice, and the Hor Mok Talay. Every single dish was off. Portions were a little stingy. Pra Ram: they gave us two small a$$ sauce containers for the curry, and the rest was a handful of tofu (protein) and a ton of chopped up raw-ish veggies topped with a little bit of crumbled peanuts. Definitely NOT enough curry for this dish and we basically paid $13 for veggies. Pad Thai: nothing really special. It had a bit of a canned or jarred Pad Thai sauce taste to it. Som Tum: most Thai papaya salads are spicy-- this one had no hint of spice whatsoever. Nada. Just because we asked for Not Spicy for the rest of the entrees doesn't mean this salad had to be too. At least this dish (an APPETIZER), which was also the cheapest in our order, had the largest portion and was the most decent tasting out of all. Pad See Ew: not authentic. There was no basil to be seen and the wok essence was missing. Not saucy enough either. Tasted as of they just stir fried the noodles in a regular pan. Pineapple Fried Rice: pretty terrible. For $19 freaking bucks including shrimp, the veggies (carrots/squash) were very hard and raw still, and the rice itself was wayyyyyy too wet. It didn't have that typical fried rice consistency or wok essence. Not a big fan of squash in fried rice. Hor Mok Talay: the WORST. The portion size was the smallest-- it barely fit half of the container. Having paid $18 for this, we expected a lot more curry sauce and more seafood. Would never order here again-- I have an inkling the owners aren't Thai. Poor portion sizes and you definitely feel like you pay more for the carbs (noodles, rice) they give you than the actual protein and sauces.

Very good food. The wait time was long but I understand everyone is having staffing issues. If you're ordering take out, I would recommend ordering and then waiting longer than you think you need to before you drive there.

Love peanut sauce? Definitely come here!! My usual is the tofu pad Thai with a side of peanut sauce to pour all over my food. The peanut sauce is so good I could *almost* just drink it! I also get an extra side of steamed veggies to add to the pad thai, although it's delicious without it.

Ate here a few days ago and I got the yellow curry. It was rich, creamy and delicious. So nice to have a decent Thai food place in the area.

They just opened and it's more of a 'take out' place given it's very small. However, they are priced high comparatively to what others are charging around the area. It's great to have something different in that shopping center but I can't see many going there for a quick bite or for lunch when you're charging $12-$15/plate. I think they need to do $5-$8 lunch specials in order to survive. Outback prices are similar and with cheaper lunch prices. We went because we knew the food was decent based on their main restaurant on Glenwood and wanted to help a small business but I can't see us going often given it was $30 just for two of us. The place has potential and they have really nice people there. I just can't see it doing well long term with those prices and type of setting unless you have a craving taste for Thai food. I do hope they can adjust and last.

Very disappointed by the reviews as I was hoping for authentic Thai food. Definitely not authentic at all. I ordered pad see ew and both did not have the right noodles. Same goes for drunken noodles. Usually dark soy sauce is used and it definitely tasted like frozen meals that would be bought at Trader Joe's. Their Thai iced teas were very watered down. The fried banana were old brown bananas wrapped in stale spring roll wrap. The rat icky rice for the mangoes were too hard. None of what I ordered was good. I feel like a Raleigh needs to do a lot better with their restaurants.

Ok let me tell you a tale of a couple looking for ramen. Good ramen. A couple who watches YouTube and understands flavor profiles of Asia. Or so we thought. TB has introduced us to more flavors and just the uniqueness of Southern Asia. Absolutely delicious. We have had the pad Thai, the yellow curry with chicken , shumai and potstickers. Different occasions of course but always great! Def worth a visit!

Seriously the best Tom Ka soup i've ever had! Even better than the stuff I had in Thailand. Lots of delicious veggies and the broth was amazing.

I was excited to try the north raleigh location, and it did not disappoint! we got shrimp rolls, pad thai, and green curry w tofu--all hot and delicious when I picked up my order. got medium spice level for the green curry--perfect. it was enough spice so that I could some heat without it overpowering the dish. the portions were very generous. The woman who answered the phone was really kind and accommodating when I asked if I could pick up curbside instead of in the restaurant. I also appreciate that everything was packaged carefully and thoughtfully so that nothing spilled on the drive home. so glad they are available for takeout during covid! will def order again soon.

The food was great and the service was awesome. They were really short staffed the day we went, but still were super friendly and brought the food out to us really quickly.

Finally a good Thai spot in North Raleigh! Have been here 3 times now and the restaurant delivers excellent food consistently with great customer service. Prices are very reasonable, portions are quite large and there are even lunch specials. We've had a number of the dishes (ie. pad thai, pad won sen, fried rice, fried rolls, tom kha and tom yum soups) and all have been quite good. Staff utilizes good COVID safety practices from what I've observed as well. Definitely give it a try!

Cleanliness rating of 98! My friend has a small appetite and likes making a dinner of appetizers. Not To Be Missed: Mango Avocado Eggrolls are perfect, fantastic. Little Crab Rangoon twists are delicious, beautiful and fried Potstickers are terrific. I'll definitely return to try much more. A tiny takeaway w/4 tiny tables, lots of outdoor seating in the covered arcade at Stonehenge shopping center.

Yuck. This is some of the worst Thai food I've ever had. The panang curry was too sweet and seemed to have curry in it, which tasted weird. The lettuce wraps had rubbery chicken. I would not order from here again. There are much better Thai places in Raleigh.
