Thai At Main Street: Reviews & Ratings

I loved this place so much, I revisited them again on my recent trip to Durham... This time, I tried their Pad See Ew w/ Beef, which came with a complimentary side of Salad. Surprisingly, they were out of Spring Rolls though. Huh?? The Pad See Ew was solid...but I would have preferred a stronger sauce/flavor on the noodle and/or the beef. Still, it was beautifully presented. I also tried their Thai Donuts, which were amazing! Perfectly toasted so that they were crispy on the outside, and soft on the inside. Loved this even more than their Pad See Ew. Definitely a Must if you come here! Since they were out of Spring Rolls, and the Pad See Ew being a bit bland, I would have rated 3, but their presentation was definitely a 5...so guess I'll drop a 4 this time. Still, overall, this is a very nice place for Thai food. Great ambiance...great service...and good-to-great food!

Excellent soups! We did take out so can comment on the dine-in experience, but the food is delicious. Had the seafood soup, and it was outstanding. Will decidedly dine here again on future trips to Durham NC.

I enjoyed some of the best Thai lunches in Durham NC at Thai at Main Street. I loved both the generous serving of shrimp pad Thai as well as their aromatic Tom Kha soup (the coconut lime flavors were delicious). Their Thai tea was creamy and perfect for a summer day. The atmosphere is very nice and inviting and the service was extremely responsive and respectful.

Delicious Thai food at this spot in the midst of a row of great restaurants in Durham. It was an early dinner, so not crowded. There are about 18 tables in this rectangular storefront restaurant. Service is efficient and quick, though somewhat brusque. Tried Kra Pow crispy duck, on the menu as a daily special. A generous portion of perfectly cooked, crispy skin-on duck is served atop a melange of colorful red peppers, onions, carrots, broccoli and basil, stir-fried in a sweet-ish brown sauce, and garnished with an orchid. The duck is excellent - very flavorful and not fatty. Also had pineapple fried rice with tofu. An enormous portion (took half home) of delicious vegetable fried rice is chock-full of 2 inch chunks of tofu. The tofu is firm, flavorful and well-seasoned, tasting of a sweet sauce. Lastly, Drunken Noodles. This one is made with the traditional prep, wide noodles, stir fried vegetables, chicken and topped with fancy shredded carrots. Definitely a good spot for Thai in downtown Durham.
