Crema's Take

Sandra and her husband have created a genuine neighborhood gem where authentic Thai cuisine arrives at genuinely fair prices, with generous portions that keep folks coming back. The space feels serene and welcoming—clean, organized, and intimate enough that regulars clearly feel like family, making it equally perfect for a solo work session with a Thai iced tea or a lingering meal with loved ones. Their specialty dishes like Khao Soi and Tom Kha are executed with real care, paired with the kind of attentive, warm service that comes from owners who actually show up every day.

Sandra and her husband are super sweet and friendly people. The restaurant is clean and organized. The food is delicious, I had their Khao Soi which is hands down the best I’ve had out here other than when I was in Chiang Mai and their Papaya salad I like to get extra spicy :P

Delicious food at reasonable prices delivered with warm and friendly service. I got the yellow curry and pad kee mow lunch specials and both were excellent with a lot of food for the price. Support local businesses and stop by Banana Thai Cafe!

Excellent service, pricing on menu, options on menu, serene environment. The food is incredible, and the portions are quite fair. We tried the Tom Kha chicken soup, the wonton chicken soup, and an organic salad. Everything was fresh, and delicious. Highly recommend!

A quaint, small place that is family-run. The service was great. The woman who runs it with her husband gave exceptional service and was very attentive. It was pretty good, authentic Thai food. My father had the chicken wings and garlic noodles, which he liked, and my mom had some vegetarian plant dish that was good. I had their specialty, which was some sort of curry with noodles underneath it and fried noodles on top. The dishes were very flavorful; I could taste the coconut milk, herbs, and spices.

Yummy food, we had takeout, the cashew nut with tofu and kung pao chicken which were both very good. White and red rice were both great, as was the Thai iced tea. Service was quick and portions were generous. Although we had takeout the inside was well lit and cozy, we'll definitely add this to our restaurant rotation.
