Review A Thai Cafe - Portage

Walked up and carried out. Received fresh spring rolls and the Red Curry Chicken and rice was still hot when I got home. $25 before tip so a little on the pricey side for 1 person. However food was good and fresh and the girl (summing owner’s daughter) was very friendly quite knowledgeable and really helpful. I have one recommendation for the restaurant: use wax paper rather then foil for the spring rolls. They are very sticky and difficult to peal off the foil

first of all the actual restaurant is very cute, and is currently halloween decorated. our waiter was super nice and helpful. me and my partner had never been, and he was willing to answer any questions or give any recommendations. i wish i had cash because i would have left a fat cash tip, but the restaurant has a digital tip option too! which is very convenient. the food was amazing and the portion sizes were huge! i got the pad thai and it was very yummy.

We tried this place for the first time. Cute and clean atmosphere. Service was excellent. We ordered the Cucumber Salad which was absolutely wonderful and Drunken noodles. I agree with other comments the color of the noodles was off for sure. We ordered no spice and it was made to our preference. The plate was mediocre I wouldn’t order it again, it just wasn’t great for the price. I wouldn’t rule this place out and will give it another try by ordering something else next time.

A Thai Cafe is your only real Thai option in the Kalamazoo area. I could be wrong but I've looked. The food is good and worth while. The staff is very friendly as well. I recommend 👌

Because of the restaurant being smaller and private they tend to shut down a lot. Other than that, they have raised their prices significantly. That’s due to workers needing a better wage, and market inflation period. The food quality typically never lets me down. I feel like there’s only a handful of times it’s been not that great, but still not gross. If you want to spend less, buy lunch for 11 bucks(depends on what h buy and tho e protein ofc), or buy on a Wednesday! They typically have online deals.

Great flavor. From the outside it might no look as much but the food and the atmosphere is awesome. The thing I look the most in food is that is has different layers of flavor and this place didn't disappoint

I don't have a lot of experience with Thai food, but I ordered the Peanut Curry ("Hot" spice level) for lunch takeout and I'm hooked! Would love to try some other menu selections, but this dish was so perfect in so many ways. I may never order anything different again:) I love spicy foods and love that the menu has so many levels of "heat" to choose from. Not sure if I could go beyond "hot" or "xhot" though:) Food was ready super fast & piping hot when I arrived back to work. Both the restaurant and the peanut curry are up there now w/ my faves!

This is my favorite place for Thai in the area after trying a couple since we moved here last year. I’ve been here multiple times so far, and they have never missed with me. The food is great and I have received it in a timely fashion. I have not had an issue with placing my order during there hours. And the service has always been personable and professional. I’ve gotten boba tea twice, the first time hot and the second chilled and both were great. Especially since each time I asked for weird combinations and have asked for suggestions. The food has always been flavorful and I like that the spicy is actually spicy. There’s nothing worse than asking for a 9/10 spice level and get mild, and A Thai Cafe is actually accurate in their spice levels in my opinion. Also, crab rangoons I highly recommend getting as a side order at least. Yes, their hours have fluctuated in the past because of life and this is a small owned business. I love that they will close instead of be open and the quality of the food suffers. I can tell that they care, and I look forward to all my future meals and boba I plan to order from here.

Not sure what one customer was upset about, but my first visit to this beautiful restaurant set my stress down and outside the door. Boba teas and Thai spice options for their dishes made me feel at home. Will definitely come back when they have Pho available. Gluten free options, vegetarian and vegan options upon request.

First, Izzy gave us fantastic service. Second, the food was amazing, including the house special and the mango sticky rice (which is seasonal). Finally the prices are very reasonable given the quality and quantity of food. The owner is nice, too!

A Thai Cafe has become one of my favorite restaurants. Between 11:30-12:45 today, two of us enjoyed fresh Summer Rolls with yummy Peanut Sauce, Tom Yum soup, Fusion Noodles (Mild+) dinner, Bangkok Fried Rice with veggies (Medium) dinner, both heaped on large lovely curved dinner plates, and with very good service by two employees. Plus, we have enough leftovers for two more sittings, yay. With quality food and service, at reasonable prices, I don’t mind glimpsing Sam’s Club parking lot.

The food here is always hot and delicious! Love the Fried Rice without meat, Cashew Stir-Fry with Tofu, Massaman Curry Chicken, and Spring Rolls. Mild and Mild+ is just right. The flavors of sauces are the best!

One of my favorite places for takeout! My go-to order is Tofu Pad Thai or Peanut Curry Noodle, with spice “mild” or “mild plus.” They seem to usually post announcements about any changes in open days/times on their Facebook.

New York, London, Bangkok- are these the cities to go to for excellent Thai food - NOPE. Right here in Portage Michigan you can get the best at A Thai Cafe and the second best in Kalamazoo-at Bangkok Flavor. I don’t know how they do it but each dish is like a dessert of flavors. My two favorites are Peanut curry noodle with chicken and Bangkok fried rice with beef. Tell me, how do you make the fried rice? No one makes it like you do. I attached a photo but already had a serving. I could eat here once a week and be happy for a loooonnnngggg time.

The food is great, every dish I've had has been full of flavor. I really like that you can choose your spice level, it helps when bringing non-spice fiends for dinner. Seems like they've been understaffed in the past, but that's changed recently. Overall a great Thai place.

Finally a vegetarian/vegan option. I used to go to Bangkok flavor and they switched cooks. I could not longer find Thai food without fish/oyster sauce. I also have a shellfish allergy. For a $2 charge I can order my meal prepared from scratch Vegan. I finally have an option to order rather than preparing my own Thai cuisine!

Always got good food, good service. My favorite place for Thai food, never disappoints with my food that I ordered.

This place has some of the best Thai food around. It is always super busy. I've eaten there about 4x now and have been well satisfied each time. I've ordered for my entire office as well who have enjoyed it just as much. Calling ahead during peak lunch hours still gets your food done quickly. I called around noon and was told all the food would be ready within 20 minutes. One of the only drawbacks is the amount of available parking in front of the store. During busy hours it's likely you'll need to park in the Sam's Club lot next door.

I have never had Thai food before. I went to this restaurant and I order a dish. The smell was so bad that I couldn't even stomach to eat it. Literally smelt like a toilet. I just simply asked for something else. Then the manager came out with an attitude and said is there something wrong with your food. I expressed my concerns. She stated I was being disrespectful for voicing my opinion on the smell. She then continued to tell me I am not welcome back and she would call the police if I did. And then the bill was not adjusted either. Horrible manager. Waiter was good. I don't know how she even runs a business.

This is my favorite place to get dinner. I usually pick up and don't eat in, but have dined there in the past and it was fine. Just not super comfortable. Staff is wonderful, food is delicious, and even my picky husband can find something he likes there.

Had a great experience. The food was awesome. Service was great. One of my favorite restaurants in Portage.

Great lunch yesterday. The sesame chicken was wonderful. Great service by friendly staff and owner. Can't wait to go back!

perfect balance of spice and flavor. Great recommendation from the waiter.

so good! and healthy! and I will always come back .

Just tried this for the first time last night and LOOOOOOVED it!!! Definitely will be trying other things on the menu soon!

This will be my first and last home going to this restursnt. I was very unimpressed with the staff. They were rude and slow. They told me I was looking at the wrong menu, but I wasn't. They did not give me the lunch special at all. They charged me full price. I ended up paying way more than expected and when I said sorry I changed my mind I will go else where the lady said I must pay. Please note I ordered over the phone amd verified that the prices were as I read and requested the totals. The total was only $11.42 I paid. $22.85 Prices are prices you can't change them. I would like a refund for my money back as well. I requested the sales slip. Ontop of the prices the portion was very small and the representation of Thai food was horrible.

Amazing food very clean and very nice people. Appetizer for two is very delightful and not too heavy you're going to be still able to eat your food the menu is very descriptive and very colorful easy to make a choice.prices are very economical

Tried the Mossaman Curry which was incredible and the best soup (albeit intense) I've ever had in their Tom Yum (ordered spicy). The house special dinner was also really good.

I love the food but my husband and I do get frustrated by how often they are closed. We have driven 30 minutes from our home to get dinner on more than one occasion to find them unexpectedly closed.

I loved the food but it can still do better. However, what failed to impress me was the the dirty glasses served. Would appreciate if you could serve clean sparkling glasses. Price is alright. Can't say it was cheap neither was it expensive.

Excellent food!!!!! Nice café, you can also take away

Excellent and authentic Thai food. The Pad Thai and Curry was yummy!!!

I love this restraint, excellent authentic food, fair prices and great services. I love, love the peanut curry.

L❤️VE the pho soup!! One of my favorite places to go!

Great food, great service.
