    Don't let the outside fool you. Thai Garden Cafe doesn't disappoint the taste buds. When I lived in Cleburne a decade ago and the restaurant was in a different location, it was my go to then because it was so good. All these years later in another location, and the flavors are just as robust as before. I was delighted to see it still in existence. Stop and enjoy your lunch thru the week. You're taste buds will thank you!

    I eat here at least once a week, but usually every couple of weeks since it’s close to my office. I’ve never had a bad meal here and the staff is always friendly and attentive. If it were to give it any negative feedback it would just be the size of the establishment and seating availability. With that said, their customer service supersedes that ding mark and I think a larger place could cause issues with their ability to stay efficient as they are. Even when they have a full house, the kitchen is able to keep up and usually get orders out timely… the couple of times I experienced a short wait, the staff told me to expect it because of a large order or several orders that came in at once. The food taste fresh, flavored, and the soups are some of favorites too. Definitely worth trying if you’ve never been here.

    They have some of the best Thai food I've ever had, highly recommend the drunken noodles or pad thai. The people who own it are so welcoming as well. Overall good experience every time!

    Went there for lunch today, had never been, went in and got seated immediately, but the whole restaurant was so hot we were sweating, the waitress we had was a young girl super nice and helpful, but the food and service(Not the waitress, who was new) was absolutely horrible. My entire group ordered pad thai, I had chicken pad thai add tofu, the other two in the party had shrimp pad thai add tofu, and pork pad thai. We waited 40 minutes for our food, and when it finally came out, it was cold, the tofu looked like sliced bread and had the consistency of sliced bread too, and when I touched it with my fork A LOT of liquid came out, yes I know tofu is in water when you get it, but this was just too much water for it to have been cooked, and it was just a watery gooey blob. The shrimp pad thai was supposed to be spicy and wasn't, had the same issue with the tofu, and the shrimp was pre-cooked shrimp with the shell on that was just re-cooked and was rubbery. The pork was so pale it looked like chicken. The overall taste was salty and gross! We quietly Went to the waitress so that it wouldn't cause a scene to the other restaurant goers and she told us that she would get the manager. The manager comes out of the kitchen and comes to the table and starts yelling at us asking us "what's wrong with the food" she said "oh it's cold we can take it back to the kitchen and REHEAT it for you" We said "um no, thank you. You are NOT supposed to take food BACK to the kitchen and REHEAT IT" LIKE YUCK!!. Then she kept asking us questions like "have you ever eaten pad thai before?" And yes, we eat pad thai quite often, We've just never been here before, so she was. Like, "well, maybe pad Thai isn't for everybody Or Thai food isn't for everybody. Maybe it just isn't to your liking." We said no that something was just wrong with it. She then proceeded to tell us "well how about you don't pay for it, leave here, and NEVER COME BACK HERE AGAIN". We told her "yeah we think that is the best option" A:the food is terrible, and B: the management skills seem to lacking! We are not sure if her yelling was to embarrass us or not, but she only embarrassed herself and the establishment. We DID pay for the one fountain drink someone got, but we left the food and everything behind. I DO NOT recommend this place AT ALL. Yes we did not have to pay, but I think people need to be aware that if you say it's cold and they say they will take care of it, they just go back there and REHEAT it, and that if there are other issues, and you make a complaint, you will probably not be allowed back.

    We went when they were shorthanded during lunch and were still served in a respectful and timely manner. Our server was amazing! The food is great, the flavors were light and authentic! The portion sizes are on the small side, but totally worth the visit! I highly reccomend the currys and the appetizer trio. So yummy! We will definitely be returning.

    Pretty good thai food. I got the panang curry and was very happy with it. The Thai tea was really watery in my opinion so I just drank something else. The soup they brought out was different than what I've had but I liked it well enough. Service was through the roof good.

    I order shrimp pad thai, beef pad thai and 2 spring rolls and my total was $42. That was the first surprise. I get back to my job and find a crumbled up piece of foil with this sad excuse for a spring roll with 2 tiny shredded carrot sticks and 3 pieces of cabbage that wasn't any bigger than my thumb. $3 Each for the spring roll. They used what looks like angel hair pasta instead of rice noodles. The taste was under average and over cooked. Very disappointed.

    We have eaten here a couple of times now and we really like it! The food is very good and it's real food! Not an out of the box type meal. The prices are fair and the people are so friendly. Just a little hole in the wall which of course is the best kinds of restaurants. This is the first time I've ever tried Thai food so I may not be best judge comparatively but I know good food and this is it!

    Only Thai restaurant in Cleburne and it is Good!! Wishing they would deliver and gain more business from that method!! Regardless it’s a must go!!

    I live in Burleson but don’t mind the drive to get their amazing red curry tofu. Thai Garden is definitely a diamond in the rough! My husband raves about the Chicken Cashew. If you are in the area, stop in for lunch, you won’t be sad you did. They are closed on Sundays.

    Had been there before, but quality has definitely gone down. Very salty food. Portion too small. Took almost one hour to get my food. Parking lot it’s still crowded. I top of everything, prices are higher. Definitely not going back.

  • 5/5 Melissa B. 1 year ago on Google
    I have to say I was very surprised at how good the food was! I got the red curry and ate every bite. Our waitress was so sweet and attentive. Plan to come back soon.

  • 1/5 Mike&Katrina L. 1 year ago on Google
    Almost an hour to get food and had to get it to go. Paid full price then got chastised for having to pay separately by im assuming was the old owner. Food was just edible, nothing special. Poor manners and blaming it on the new girl from Taiwan. Our entire office will never go back. No tips left, not deserved.

    There was a very long wait for a to go order. I tried calling multiple times but nobody would answer so I had to place my order at the restaurant. The ladies were very nice but the manager never even looked my way or gave me updates like he did with the rest of the customers. I always get Pad See Ew at Thai restaurants and theirs was ok but not very authentic tasting and the noodles were over cooked. If this is your only option for Thai food then it's ok but if you can make it to Burleson there is a way better Thai restaurant there with a great atmosphere.

    I had forgotten how much I loved this restaurant! Happened to be passing by & noticed the full parking lot. Made a block & went back. Thank goodness I did! Usually I stick to my favorite Pad Thia, but today, I made myself try something new; I ordered the Drunken Noodles, and I am sure glad I tried it! Delicious! Planning to go back tomorrow and order their Special: Pineapple Fried Rice! Can't wait! Serving staff is extra friendly and accommodating, food is excellent!, portion size is plenty for sharing!

    Absolutely Amazing Aunthentic Thai food! It doesn't get any better than this family owned Thai restaurant. The mom and daughters in the back work so hard to bring you the flavors that keep you coming back for more!! There is not one thing on the menu this picky eater hasn't loved! I love it all!!! Gotta get there while u can bc this town knows what's up and they fill those tables fast!!

    Came all the way from Tucson, AZ for this food and it was worth the trip!!! Family owned and operated restaurants give such a feel like you’re at their house being cooked for. Thats what you get here. Did I mention it was worth the trip!!

    Just walked out of the restaurant because they failed to serve my food. They took my order, but forgot to order the food in the kitchen. Everyone else around me who came at the same time got their food. Absolutely pathetic service. Would not go again.
