My boyfriend and I decided to try a new Thai spot because we always frequent the same ones. I'm so happy we did because we found this gem! Noodles to Thai For is right across the street from Cafe Dantorels. We got a Thai tea, Tom Yum Pork Noodle Soup, Pineapple Fried Rice, and Yellow Curry. Everything was so freaking good, my favorite was the pineapple fried rice! Everything was so good, I'm so excited to come back and try more things on their menu. I was too full to get pineapple sticky rice but next time for sure!!
First time coming and I was happy to find such a place near Curtis Park. Though it might not look like much from the outside, I had very genuine service and felt a warm, welcoming coffee-shop- like vibe indoor. The food came out at a good pace and in a decent portion size. I ordered a Pad see ew with beef (mild spice) and was impressed with the texture of the beef and noodles. I would say, however, that the beef lacked some more flavor. The rest of the dish tasted great! My friends ordered a Tofu pad see ew and Tofu pad thai. The tofu pad see ew was very consistent with other reviews, but the pad thai was a little appeared and tasted a little more soggy than I would have liked. Overall, would come back to try some of their newer items on the list, but I still have my preferred Thai restaurants elsewhere.
This is a cute little restaurant in midtown area. I ordered chicken pad thai to-go. There were several street parking spots up front. The service was quick and smooth. There are a few tables and chairs if you choose to dine-in. The pad Thai was good.
I have been wanting to try this little restaurant so I stopped by last Thursday to try it out. I arrived around 11:30 and was the only person at the restaurant. The waitress (who I think is the daughter of the chef?) was super nice and took my order quickly. The dining area is as small as the Yelp photos look btw. The decor was simple but fitting for the tiny area. It pains me a little give this place 4 stars (more like 3.5) as Noodles To Thai For is really cute and is also a family-run business, but I have to agree with others who reviewed the food--I already came with the expectation that I would be trying the Pad Thai to see for myself if it was sweet, and unfortunately it was definitely a bit too sweet for my palate. The sauce, while tamarind-y, was also quite thick and a bit too saucy, which is not what I prefer when I order Pad Thai. Personally I like a nice even coating of sauce on my noodles while keeping the wok-fired flavor. The noodles were nice and chewy and not overcooked at least, and the tofu and chicken were not dry at all. I asked for medium spicy but it was not very spicy at all. For $15, it was a good portion size, as I could not finish my plate, but I also attribute that to the heaviness of the sauce. I'm a pretty good eater on any given day, but I definitely think that if the sauce were lighter, I could have finished my lunch. I got the rest of the Pad Thai to go. Similarly, the Thai tea that I ordered was also pretty sweet. I like my tea strong but this wasn't it. It wasn't watered-down, but it also wasn't the best I've had. For $5.50 I expected a stronger tea. I also got the tea to go. And an amusing story about the straws that Noodles To Thai For uses. When my Thai tea arrived, I was given one of those cheap straws with an accordion (the ones that can be bent, I don't know the technical term for them). Upon opening the straw, my straw broke right at the accordion area. I could not drink my tea as there were air bubbles. I asked for another straw, which the waitress promptly obliged. However, that straw ended up breaking again at the accordion and I was too nice to not ask for another one. I simply closed the accordion and decided to use the straw without bending it. This is all to say that I think they should be investing in better restaurant supplies. Even their to-go boxes and cups are styrofoam, and there are now far better (and more environmentally-conscious) supplies out there. Unfortunately, this is one of the places where the mixed reviews are accurate for me. I may return just to try their other noodle dishes to see if those are also sweet (and maybe the boat noodle soup as it looks intriguing), but it's definitely not a place that I will be frequenting as often as I had hoped.
Small tiny Thai restaurant . Helpful , pleasant and friendly service. We enjoyed the 3 dishes we ordered.
