Phat Thai - Denver
Located in the “soon to be hip and fashionable, again” Cherry Creek North neighborhood, where "hole in the wall noodle joint and lounge" meets something a little more sophisticated: a poised urban design of reclaimed woods, architectural metals and glass walls.
This isn’t a traditional Thai restaurant. We are not Thai. We’re not even Asian. Not even close.
We aren't attempting to create a fusion, nor copy provincial classics. We are simply inspired by the cuisine itself, and how it makes us feel.
The smell of mint, cilantro, and peanuts, the warmth of Thai chili, the funk of fish sauce, the slap in the face of lime. It’s as heart-warming to us as our grandmother’s cooking… except, of course, she wasn’t Thai either.
We’re a curious new breed of southeast Asian eatery, offering imaginative food and tasty drink inspired by those travels to Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam and beyond...
We simply try to serve good food and drink....

"Very good food, slightly different than your average thai restaurant. They try to liven up the menu, make it modern and \they do it successfully. Nice big open space. Our waitress was very helpful. Cheers!"

"went to Phat Thai with trepidation as it is a very large space with high cubic footage, often leading to a chain restaurant type experience. The food is well prepared, well priced, service friendly, and the atmosphere is pretty good. This is a great addition to Cherry Creek and our new go to spot for a quick and easy weeknight dinner."

"We had a great dinner here on a busy Saturday night. We had two young girls in our party of 8 who the restaurant took care of with a special kids Phad Thai. The waitress was good and the food was tasty. We sat upstairs and the noise from the restaurant did not interfere with our conversation. I would recommend this restaurant."

"I hadn't been to Phat Thai for some time and was very much looking forward to it. While the service was great, my food was awful. The duck, crab, mushroom egg rolls were overcooked and my papaya salad was tasteless and mushy. I doubt I will go back."

"This was a great restaurant! The $10 lunch special was OUTSTANDING. I will definitely come again and will encourage others to eat there as well. To find a good spot for lunch in Cherry Creek that doesn't leave your wallet empty is a real discovery. Food was delicious -- I had the Colorado goat curry. Excellent."

"Nice atmosphere, but that was the highlight. Nothing was bad, but nothing stood out - especially for the price. I very much appreciate that the restaurant supports some local and sustainable practices, but the whole was definitely not greater than the sum of the parts in this case. I was there in a party of 3 and we all got apps and entrees. Not a single one was delicious and all should have cost half as much. Right, they're not a typical Thai restaurant, but the only differences I noticed were half the flavor and twice the price. Actually, I take that back, the drinks wee tasty and mostly $7.50-8, so reasonable and worth it."
