Cafe' Equator

Holy moly! I was pleasantly surprised! Where do I start? My sis and I stopped here kind of impromptu. We just wanted somewhere to sit and eat for lunch. So first off there was no parking when we got there. We were told we could park in the breauxmart parking lot across the street, which is no problem. They do have a small parking lot in the back like 4 or 5 cars worth of parking spaces, so keep that in mind when you pull up. Upon entry we were greeted so courteously and we were seated right away. It's a smaller, more intimate restaurant. The environment was calm and low-key. The music was not loud and overbearing like you'd find at some restaurants, so we didn't have to scream at each other to hold a conversation. It was just right. For apps we had the fried calamari, delicious! We destroyed that! For main course, I had the ginger tori (chicken) and my sister had the grilled pork. Oh. My. Gosh. The food here: AMAZING! Everything was fresh and so tasty! I couldn't stop eating, I didn't even pause for a breath. It was that good. The food was seasoned just right and everything blended so perfectly. The egg roll was so good but my only gripe: the egg roll was too small, two bites and it's gone, haha. The sauce they provided for that was fantastic. Everything was cooked to perfection. Oh, by the way, your dishes come with rice. It's not on the menu but it comes with it. You can always order extra on the side. The portions too are a healthy amount. Overall, a great dining experience but my only issues are the parking and the tiny egg rolls. Apart from that, I would definitely recommend this spot for great Thai food!

My favorite place for thai food. I’ve tried all thai spots and nobody can get it right but them! My favorites are the veggie rolls, basil fried rice, and their pad thai. Everything is always fresh and balanced between the proteins and veggies. Portions are always bigger when you order in than through uber. Their chili oil is a must with all of the entrees!! I literally eat here 3-4x a week, every time my friends ask where we should eat I always pick Equators. 🥹 Sorry to my friends~

Very very very tasty, service was fast and the staff was very attentive. For their Covid standards they have the cutlery packaged and if your order a soft drink they give it to you in plastic bottle. The food was very very good! My new fave Thai cafe in New Orleans! I strongly recommend! I ordered from the lunch specials Basil Eggplant with shrimp (the eggplant was the best I’ve had done Thai style)! and my partner Ordered the drunken Monkey lunch combo!

Found this little gem on the way out of the mall and am so glad I did! The appetizers are well portioned, smaller plates, but we got the chicken sate and edamame and they were perfect for two. Then the entrées! I got the authentic red curry, full of flavor and a very generous portion, the tofu cooked well, not crispy. And my boyfriend got the pad thai, also excellent. The service staff was also very kind and personable. Will definitely have this on my top list in this city moving forward!

The noodles where tasty. Especially if you are in the mood for some soy flavor and noodles. The curry on the other hand was pretty basic. Found one piece of shrimp slight undercooked, didn't eat that one. The menu states it's medium spicy , I think but was as mild as mild gets. Would have order HOT if that was the case.a little too sweet even for a sweet curry. Service was lovely, we did come close to closing, so we appreciated them seating us.
