Flaming Thai Cafe

"This is my go to lunch spot! I eat here about 3-4 times a week for lunch as I work nearby & have never been disappointed, highly recommend this for authentic Thai food! Be careful with the spice level as they use real chili peppers in their spices! My favorite option is the build your own lunch/dinner specials with a pork spring roll!"

"Service was quick, easy and great for pick up. I can confirm the spice ratings are completely skewed. Even if the place has “Flaming” in the name, medium tastes more like Hot+ (and that’s coming from an Indian household!). The food is just okay. Not what I was expecting out of any dish, not authentic, but decent in its own way. I will most likely not be returning."

"I ordered the mild plus pad ped & it was quite spicy, but good. If you’re not hip on spices, go mild or w/ the no spice option. The shrimp was a little overcooked & rather scarce as was the overall portion. But, not too bad for Thai carryout in Troy."

"A one star review, specifically for the water. Water is $2.50 for a bottle of Dasani. They have no other way to get water. I have a personal objection to this type of service, thus the one star. In addition, this is setup like Burger King, you go to order at the counter. You pick up your silverware and chopsticks, and bus your table. Signs are everywhere informing of these policies. And they hit you for tips at the counter. I'm not sure what service we are tipping for? The good, they were playing Thai music on a TV - kind of fun. I had the BYO meal. It's a "build your own" meal process. This was pretty good. I had Thai basil with chicken and red curry and eggplant. it was nice. The heat level ordered was medium and it was pretty on-point. She had the catfish. Huge disappointment there. It seemed like the catfish was fried at noon and reheated in the microwave. Soft and soggy, now what you're looking for in a fried catfish meal!"

"Ordered takeout from the place. The food (Curry Fried Rice) was prepared really well and the hotness perfectly matched to medium. The ambience can be a little better but not much of a downside if the food is great. The service is also fast as I received my order within 5-10 minutes of placing the order."
