Exceptional Khao Soi with Unique Condiment Bar
My wife and I had lunch at Thai 56 Cafe on December 18, 2025. We both ordered the khao soi, with my wife choosing chicken breast and myself opting for tempura shrimp. Both dishes offered such great depth of flavors!
A unique aspect of this restaurant is the small plate of add-on condiments provided on the side, allowing customization. The contrasting texture of crispy and al dente noodles was fantastic, and the flavor of the soup base was unforgettable. We will definitely be back.

Delicious Kai Soi & Great Service!
My experience at this restaurant was overall great. The food was great, the service was great, and the atmosphere was also enjoyable. It's important to note that it's not a large restaurant, so it might not be suitable for large group or team gatherings.
However, the service is top-notch. The Chef's special, Kai Soi, is delicious 🤤. They also have a large selection of drinks.
I will definitely come back.

Watery Curry, Missing Utensils
My experience ordering takeout was mixed. While everything I ate tasted solid, the curry was rather watery. : / Additionally, even though we asked for utensils, we didn't receive any.
: / This was a bit of a letdown.

Delicious Food, Kind Staff, Great Value!
My experience at this restaurant was SOOOOOO delicious! I highly recommend dining in here. The quality of the food is just so flavorful and rich!
It’s not too expensive, costing about $10-20 per person. The staff is also VERY kind, and the food comes in quickly! They offer a lot of vegetarian, vegan, etc options!
I DEFINITELY recommend!

Delicious Thai Catering for a Birthday!
I heard great things about this restaurant and decided to use them for catering for 20 people for my birthday, as Thai food is my favorite! I ordered pad Thai, panang, and fried rice. They did not disappoint!
The food is absolutely delicious. The large portion was more than enough for 15 people. The staff was friendly and helpful.
Definitely recommend this place.

Awesome Food, Service, and Atmosphere!
My experience at this restaurant was truly awesome! The food was incredible, and the service was equally impressive. We received our meals in about 10 minutes, which was fantastic.
The atmosphere had a very clean, homey feel. We tried the Drunken Noodles and the Thai Fried Rice, and I would 100% recommend them!

Good Thai Tea, Dry Meat
My experience at the restaurant was mixed. I enjoyed the spring rolls and the drunken noodles, which were both good. The Thai teas were also delicious.
However, the lean meat was very dry and unappetizing.

Undercooked Chicken and Eggshells, but Nice Staff
My experience at this restaurant was mixed. The undercooked chicken and the presence of eggshells everywhere were significant issues with the food. Despite these problems, the food itself tasted good, but unfortunately, I got sick afterward.
Adding to the negative atmosphere, there were people smoking weed right outside the restaurant. On a positive note, the workers were really nice.

Delicious Thai Food, Will Return!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I tried the Kao soi with chicken drumstick and the Bua loy, both of which were incredibly nice and delicious. I definitely might come back soon to try other dishes.
