Can’t believe that will have super good authentic Thai and Laos restaurant in Atlanta!! My first time there was very fantastic. Everything was very tasty and feel like home back in Thailand. Love fried chicken, Thai papaya salad, Laos spring rolls, sun dried pork etc.. I will go back for sure

Found this place by accident. Literally left two other Thai spots. One was in the city so impossible to find parking. I was stressed driving in the city so just left. Found another going home but the service was bad and they were missing a lot if the dishes I enjoy.
So I finally found this one when I was almost home. Man I got lucky. This place has everything and it was delicious!
My mom kept making happy noises when she was eating. Honestly haven’t see her that happy eating in a while but I put her on Thai food a few years ago. And now she’s addicted.
But I think the prices were fair in gentle. I got so much food but forgot to take pictures.
I would recommend coconut soup. Savory and just a must. My go to. The chicken spring rolls were good. Drunken noodles, classic and actually the first Thai dish I eaten. They are chewy and just comfort. Oh beef salad is a must. Just mouthwatering and juicy and so much beef. This one was a little more expensive tho.
I got a few more but will just end it here. I recommend getting it spicy. But if you don’t like spice. I can’t guarantee it will taste as good as I described
But seriously it’s worth going here. This will be my go to Thai place.

Was invited to this spot by a truly dear friend of mines that I trust, that can cook. With that said, I was not disappointed at all. And I live on the N side of the ATL, minimum 45 mins away! If nothing else try the curry puffs as a starter… you’ll thank me later.

The best fried rice ever. The most flavorful food!! Shrimp fried rice and chicken pot stickers. It was all great- I mean BOMB. I’m telling you I Wii be coming back. It was delicious.

I found this hidden gem after landing at Atlanta Airport. They serve wonderful Thai-Laos cuisine. The quality of the dishes I ordered was quite good, and the portions were generous enough to provide leftovers for another meal. The staff were friendly and engaging, adding an extra layer of enjoyment to the experience.

The food is delicious only problem I have is they only have one size rice and if you get the 4wing and shrimp fried rice combo they are only putting 2shrimp in the rice and justifying the wings as being the reason they don’t put more shrimp. Now I have ordered the rice alone but once again it’s one size for $20 and I had only received 5shrimp …. They are over charging for the shrimp fried rice with no shrimp. Maybe need to consider have a regular and large size

I came to Hot Cafe twice in one week—that’s how good it was.
First visit: I ordered the chicken pho and wow… the broth alone was amazing, almost giving ramen vibes. I also tried the fried chicken wings and the flavor was on point.
Second visit: My cousin got the red coconut curry tofu and it was absolutely amazing. I had the pineapple chicken fried rice, and once again—the flavor did not disappoint.
The Thai tea was great, though I do wish there were a dairy-free option since it’s made with half-and-half. That said, I don’t even like bananas, but their banana egg roll dessert was scrumptious.
The atmosphere is no-frills, but the customer service is a solid 10/10. Friendly, welcoming, and consistent food quality.
Highly recommend—clearly a new favorite.

We found this hidden authentic gem on TikTok recently so we decided to give it a try! My boyfriend is Thai so we are always happy to try new Thai spots. I heard this place was super authentic for Thai/Laotian food, and that is correct! The menu screams authenticity. They have stuff that most “upscale” Thai places don’t have. I’ve been on the search for lad na here in Atlanta for forever and haven’t been able to find a Thai restaurant that has it on the menu until I came to this place! The menu is very expansive, tons of items to choose from!
My boyfriend was happy because they had keo lao jerky which is a very authentic appetizer that you also really can’t find! The jerky was delicious! The basil spring rolls were also a hit. The rolls were super fresh with homemade peanut sauce. I got the lad na with beef and it was 10/10! I loved the gravy sauce and the noodles were cooked to perfection. My boyfriend got pad see ew with duck and it was also 10/10! I definitely recommend this spot if you’re looking for true authentic Thai and Laotian food. You will not be disappointed! Can’t wait to go back!

We came here with a semi large group without warning. We were seated immediately and had a fantastic meal. Peter did a terrific job taking our orders and getting the food out quickly. Food was delicious! Highly recommend
