This is another great little restaurant, that is often over looked. The food is fantastic, the service is good and the decor is cute. Its a family run restaurant where if you go in often enough, the staff will get to know you (hmmm, maybe I just eat there too often). I love the Tom Yum Soup and the Thai Spicy Basil. The lunch specials are excellent if you find yourself in the area, or call in to take out service.

Thai Garden is now closed, and has recently been reopened as "Thai House Cuisine". They have completely new management, new employees - new everything... as it is a brand new restaurant...

I really don't get the reviews here on Thai Garden. Even the positive ones don't do this place justice. Maybe it has to do with the review dates. The outside doesn't do the inside any justice as well. We've been there several times in 2006 and have always had a great overall dining experience. The hostess and wait staff are extremely friendly and attentive-- making great recommendations and accommodating special requests for our 2 yr old daughter (as they don't have a child's menu). The chef even came out once and asked our daughter what she likes so she could prepare it the next time we go. The food is authentic, fresh, tasty, creative, and attractively plated. The prices are very reasonable. The atmosphere is very cozy and romantic. Overall, I haven 't had a better Thai experience in the Triangle, even at the more highly rated Thai restaurants listed here on Citysearch (which would include Sawasdee and Lemongrass). If you haven't been to Thai Garden recently or ever, I suggest you give it a try.
- Pros: Everything: service, food, atmosphere, price
- Cons: none
Cozy restaurant, dank food

hey i don't know what these negative reviews are all about. i have now been to thai garden twice and all of the five or so entrees i have tried were excellent, especially the curry ones. The fresh spring rolls need some work but the entrees definitely made up for what was lacking in the appetizers. a nice small family style restaurant always makes for the best ethnic dining anyways, and plus it was cheap ($25 for two) and the food came out promptly. The service was friendly and offered good advice to a friend who is an amateur in asian cuisine. I definitely left satisfied.
Great Thai, Great Service

Now that it is Thai House everything has improved. The ambience, the food, the overall experience. The staff remembers me regardless of how long it's been, and they greet me warmly. The service is prompt, the food is fresh, and the dishes are outstanding. I still the Sawasdee is the best Raleigh Thai food, but Thai House is a very very close second.
Back when it was Thai Garden, I wrote this review, which I still stand by:
I literally took 2 bites then left. The taste reminded me of when I was a child and expermented in the kitchen making things that even the dog wouldn't go near. Their noodles were gray and the sauce looked and smelled like soggy waste-can water. The service was fine, though - the 'food' came promptly and all service was with a smile.
- Pros: Great Food, Great Service
- Cons: none
Good for Beginners

This place is one I say is good for those who are "Beginners" to Thai food. It's more basic...just a tad off from Chinese food, which your average Joe is more accustomed to. Decent food, an easy-to-understand menu, and a very good amount of selection. Not the fanciest but that's a good thing. Just a good, hearty, inexpensive Thai meal. I like it fairly well!

Nearly 6 years ago I first experienced Thai food at Thai Garden. I immediately fell in love with it. I have continued going to Thai Garden still. I really like the atmosphere for some reason, the lighting, music, and candles make it romatic. I have tried many other Thai restaurants locally and abroad but I have a certain reservation for Thai Garden.
- Pros: Spacey, Great Food
- Cons: View of Parking Lot

Serives was ok. Prices were decent. But the food was really sub-par. It was the worst dining experience I've had in a long time. Both my friend's dish and my own were bad - her's was actually inedible. I suggest going elsewhere. Sushi-Thai is a good alternate.
- Pros: many menu options
- Cons: food quality
Really Bad

I love Thai. I eat it all the time. If this was the the time that I had it I would have thought that it was horrible everywhere and would have not had it again. The meat was parts I had to pick it all out. I don't care that this place is the closest to me I will never go there again. The worst Thai I have ever had. If you want to call it Thai.
