Thai Lanna
535 16th St Mall, Denver, CO
Crema's Take
“This cozy Thai spot in Denver excels at thoughtful customization, with diners consistently praising their flexible spice levels that let you enjoy dishes like silky pho and vibrant yellow curry exactly how you want them. The casual, welcoming atmosphere—tucked down the stairs of a plaza—feels like discovering a neighborhood gem, and their made-to-order approach means your meal arrives fresh and carefully prepared. It's the kind of place where the friendly staff and reliably excellent curries make you want to return every time you're in town.”

I had egg rolls as an appetizer and garlic shrimp as my main. It was just okay; nothing spectacular. The spice level was perfect and my server was sweet. The food came out pretty quickly. If I happen to go back I'll probably try the curry.
Highly recommend! I will stop there every time I am in town! The pho is amazing and they have varying spicy levels. The spicy edamame is also a must try! The atmosphere is casual, but a little hard to find since it is underground/downstairs. However, it easily accessible off the main shopping strip in downtown Denver once you find it!
Real cool dining experience, you enter the plaza and you see it right down the stairs. Good service, friendly staff. We loved the entrees but the gyoze wasn’t impressive. Everything was made fresh tho. Also spicyness wasn’t consistent but that is minor. We were happy that the food wasn’t greasy at all
Love love love!!!! Was in Denver over the weekend and with the chilly weather I was craving some yellow curry. I’m a picky eater and I’m always skeptical about food. I was scared but I decided to go for it and hope for the best. And yes this places hit the spot. The yellow curry was super delicious. That warm green tea was so soothing. The location was pretty cool.
2025-August. I recently tried Thai Lanna and was pleasantly surprised by how flavorful the food was. I ordered the Masaman curry at the lowest spiciness level, and it turned out to be absolutely perfect for my palate—rich, creamy, and full of authentic Thai flavor without being overpowering. The service was also great—my food arrived quickly and piping hot, which I really appreciated. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for delicious Thai cuisine with customizable spice levels and prompt service!
