The food here is amazing!! The workers are both nice and were very helpful when I tried to order. Their basil duck is very delicious! The sauce really blended nicely with the duck. I also recommend the Thai green tea. It’s a cold drink and it’s very refreshing!! Will definitely come back soon!!!

The food was delicious!! We ordered the drunken noodles with chicken and the bang bang chicken special we had spicy level 1 which was pretty mild i would reccomend level 2 if you want something that is a bit “spicy”. Regretfully I have no pictures to share because we devoured our food too quickly for all that!!! Do listen when I tell you though its worth every penny!!

Thai Spoon has an extensive menu with many flavorful dishes. The food is generous and delicious. This seems to be a popular takeout place but sadly, we were the only people eating in. I highly encourage people to eat in this restaurant. The service is good and the food is yummy.

The day that I dined here the people in the booth in front of me and a guy across the room eating by himself talked about how they come regularly from Raleigh and Wake Forest to eat at this Durham restaurant. Absolutely everything that’s on your plate was made in the house it’s all so fresh and so good. I’ve never had better Thai food in my life.
The owner brought a small bowl of chilies to the table so that we could make the food as hot as we wanted to. I wanted mine very hot. It only took two small servings of the Chili’s to make the food hot enough to clean my nostrils out. And it was fresh.
You have to be patient when you eat at this restaurant. The entire world is understaffed right now and the owner insists that things be done right. If you’re in a hurry pick a different place. If you’re willing to wait, the reward will be beyond your imagination.
There is ample handicap parking and access at the Cross Creek shopping center. The layout of the restaurant is accommodating to handicapped visitors.
Please consider some other options if you have small children.

This is one of the triangles best kept secret Thai food restaurants, I love going here on a cold rainy day and having coconut curry soup and hot Thai noodles. The service here is really good and the food always taste great and exceptionally well seasoned. The staff are amazing and really nice and the prices are a great value too. I really recommend anyone looking for authentic Thai food to come here and dine and trust you will be back again and again.

Horrible experience. My son’s food didn’t come out until the rest of the family had their food for at least 10 minutes. Then his order was incorrect and we were done eating before the correct order finally came out. So obviously we asked for his meal to be comped….he had after all sat there for 40 minutes while the whole family ate. But nope, they wouldn’t comp it or even discount it….they insisted they take the food back to do that. I have never experienced such bad customer service ….visit at your own risk.

We had a very nice dine-in experience at Thai Spoon. Ordered crunchy mushrooms, tofu green curry, tofu pad thai, and coconut cake. The service was attentive and Curtis is without being intrusive. Will definitely eat here again and do take out as well in the future.

It’s a nice place to sit and dine in. I ordered chicken in red curry and had a small shrimp tom yum soup. They were both delicious. Not too spicy- just how i like it. I also ordered the Thai tea (I forgot to take the picture). That was good. The price for the food was not bad. I’m from out of town and had tried another Thai place in NC that sucks and was not authentic. This place did not disappoint.

TL;DR Get the Por Pia, Fresh Shrimp Basil Roll, Pad Thai, Thai Fried Rice, any of the curries, or peanut sauce beloved. Avoid Tom Yum soup and the Pad spicy chili.
Apparently there’s a character limit on Google reviews, so you’re missing out on the long preface about Lowes messing up our appliance delivery, but that’s why we ate at Thai Spoon every day for a few weeks. We wrote down a rating (1-5) for each meal, which I’ll share below.
But first, a few words about the owner. After the first few days, he started throwing in free soup with my order. When I said we also like spring rolls (cough cough) he was, “WAIT RIGHT THERE” and got me some. I’m sure he appreciated the business in the middle of the pandemic, but that was just going above and beyond.
Most of the entrees can be made vegetarian (and probably vegan)
Appetizers
Por Pia (spring rolls) – 5 stars. These are really good. The stuffing is fresh, and the outside is crispy. It comes with three medium-small rolls.
Crispy Tofu – 4 stars. It’s just fried tofu with a good dipping sauce, but it’s a pretty large dish, so good value.
Fresh Shrimp Basil Roll – 5 stars. Pro tip – you can ask to substitute tofu for shrimp. These are absolutely delicious and might be my favorite thing on the menu. Only downside is they are pretty pricey for the amount of food you get.
Tempura – 3.5 stars. Vegetarians, sub tofu for shrimp. This is a large dish, but it’s just ok. It’s kind of greasy and bland, but I think that’s just how tempura is? It’s the same as any other tempura I’ve had.
Crispy mushroom – 4 stars. This is basically the same dish as the tempura, but with mushrooms. It’s much worse value though, so if you’re in the mood for something fried, I would go with the tempura.
Soup
Tom Yum – 1 star. This was NOT GOOD. I can’t say what it was exactly that we didn’t like, but both my partner and I were like “uh uh, no, not eating that.”
Tom Kha – 4.5 stars. This was much better. Generous servings of tofu, and the broth is excellent.
Clear glass noodle – 4 stars. Ask to make vegetarian. Really good at first, and would have been 5 stars. The owner warned me that I needed to mix thoroughly, because the salt would settle at the bottom. I did mix, a lot, and it was great. But when I had leftovers, it was WAY too salty. So I guess mix often and try to eat it all at once.
Noodle and Rice
Pad Thai – 5 stars. One of the best dishes. Just perfect in every way.
Pad Kee Mow – 4 stars. Still very good, not as flavorful as some of the other dishes.
Pad Z Ew – 4.5 stars. It was 5 the first time we got it, but the second time it wasn’t as good.
Pad Woon Sen – 4.5 stars. My partner said 4, but I thought it was tasty. All the noodle dishes are kind of similar though, hard to compare.
Thai Fried Rice – 5 stars. Just perfect.
Spicy Basil Fried Rice – 3 stars. There was something about the spicy ingredient that just wasn’t good, it ruined the other flavors.
Curry Entrees
Mussamun curry – 4 stars. The sauce was AMAZING and by far the best of the curries, but the veggies were bad. The avocado tasted really weird (I don’t think avocado belongs in soup, but what do I know?), and the cashews had a weird taste and texture too.
Panang curry – 4.5 stars. This one was a bit too spicy for me, but my partner loved it.
Green curry – 4.5 stars. Same as above.
Yellow curry – 4.5 stars. This one was not too spicy, and the potatoes were delicious! But the sauce wasn’t as flavorful.
Stir fry entrees
Broccoli garlic – 4 stars. Pretty good, nothing earth shattering though.
Spicy basil – 4 stars. Same.
Pad Khing – 4.5 stars. My partner said it was kind of boring, but I disagree.
Sweet and sour – 4 stars. Pretty decent sweet and sour.
Pad Spicy Chili – 1.5 stars. NOT GOOD. It just tasted like chili peppers and nothing else.
Spicy eggplant – 3 stars. The eggplant just wasn’t doing it for us.
Peanut Sauce Beloved – 4.5 stars. This dish has a weird name, but it’s delicious
Spicy cashew nut – 4.5 stars. Too spicy for me, my partner liked it.
Veggies together – 3.5 stars. I think this one was just boring.
