Our story
A little corner of Thailand on Highway 98.
Thai Noodle Place started as a small family kitchen with one simple idea: cook real Thai food, season it properly, and serve it fast and friendly. No shortcuts, no heat lamps — just woks, fresh herbs and a pot of curry that never stops.
From the outside it looks low-key. Step inside and you’ll find authentic Thai character, a cozy mom-and-pop room, and guests who’ve been coming for years. We’re proud to swap tofu into almost anything for our vegan and vegetarian friends.

“Everything I tried was phenomenal, but the Pad Thai really stood out. I highly recommend ordering it. The flavor, balance, and overall quality here just hit different. Definitely the best Pad Thai I’ve had around here.”
“Amazing food and super cozy little spot on 98. Came at 7:15 pm on a Friday and had fast and friendly service. Fresh roll, amazing Massaman Curry and my boo loved the General Tso’s tofu. To top it off, mango sticky rice is also in season.”
“Everything was absolutely perfect! Great service, portions, and taste. They can also substitute anything for tofu for vegans and vegetarians. Very happy customer!”
