Estes Thai Restaurant

"If you want authentic Thai food in Estes Park, go here. The food is delicious and the staff is kind and professional. The atmosphere is comfortable and inviting. We will definitely eat here again!"

"Bottom Line: I wouldn’t come back here. Service was very inattentive, orders came out inconsistently, and food wasn’t anything special. Atmosphere: Mid-light ambience, light jazz music overhead, spacious. Food: I got the Tom Kha Gai($12.95) with a side of rice($2.00). The soup was decent. I wish it came out hotter. The vegetables could have been cooked a bit longer, they tasted raw. The chicken pieces were cooked well, not too tough. My brother got the Hot Som Tum(Green Papaya Salad, $11.95). The sauce/dressing wasn’t as sour as we’d expect, but the ingredients tastes fresh. He also got the Masamun Curry with chicken($14.95). The flavor of the curry was decent, but the chicken pieces had an odd texture to it that I wasn’t too fond of. My friend got the Chicken Pad Thai($14.95). This was slightly below standard from what I’m used to. The noodles were a bit mushy, but the chicken tasted fine and the freshness of the peanuts added a nice crunch. Service: I’m not sure what kind of portions the wait staff is used to, but they told us that one plate would only satisfy one person when I asked. My friend and I are pretty thin, small eaters so we considered sharing a plate knowing that most restaurants of this culture provide heavy portions. That was the case with this restaurant, so we ended up having a lot of leftovers. I wasn’t too upset though considering that the prices were very fair. Our dishes all came out at different times(talking main entrees, not appetizers). This caused us to have to wait on each others dishes to come out, letting our food get cold. My brother and I asked for two bowls of rice with our orders. The forgot for both of our orders. They then took more time than necessary to plate a couple scoops of already made rice to serve us. I also noticed that our waiter ate a piece of rice off of his thumb right before using the same hand to serve me my rice which felt unsanitary. Overall: If you don’t mind inconsistent service, I would recommend this restaurant. I personally wouldn’t come back here again solely based on the service. I wanted to give this place only two stars, but I decided to be fair with three since the food was standard and the price was fair"

"Estes Thai is simply Amazing. Everything we’ve ordered was on point. We got some leftovers and ate it the next day and it was still delicious. I almost ordered some to take home on the flight with me. Very authentic tasting. We loved it."

"Stopped for a late lunch. Service was pretty fast and parking is available outside. I got the red curry which was okay, I chose medium spice and I feel I should have gone with spicy. We also got the chicken fried rice which was tasty but a bit on the sweeter side. My friend got the spicy egg fried rice with tofu which was pretty good. We did take the appetizer combo for 3 which was pretty decent. The dumplings were nice and so were the shrimp and egg rolls. Overall a nice place and great service."

"We came into town and saw the Estes Thai Restaurant. After checking into our cabin we unloaded the car and then began to search for a place to eat dinner. To our surprise, one of the best rated places in town was: Estes Thai After being away from home and not having had any Thai food in a while, it was an easy vote to eat there tonight. The place was packed but parking wasn’t bad. And we ended up being seated quickly. The staff was very friendly. The restaurant was clean. We ordered the egg rolls. They were good and came with a sauce that I’ve not tried before. It was good and different was welcome. My daughter ordered one of their soups. It was delicious. Yep; I finished off what she didn’t. I got the yellow curry chicken. Was delicious as well. My wife got the honey orange chicken. It was delicious, too. See a theme here? Food was great. I wish this place was back home. We’d eat here often. Probably too often. I’m sure we’ll eat here again before we leave Estes Park."
