However, for the past several weeks, I have tried calling several times repeatedly for 30 minut. Have loved your food and service for years - We have talked about how good your food is to everyone we know for so many years.

Excellent Thai food! It is worthwhile to note that each of their Taste of Curry entrees can be prepared as vegie, tofu, chicken, and various meats, and seafoosd. They provide a comfortable dining experience and are prompt and accurate with take out orders. I have been enjoying their menu selections for over 6 years now, and nw that I've more several miles further away they will continue to be a favorite.

This is our fav go to Thai Spot in Connecticut. We have coming here for 3 yrs now & never had disappointment. It is the best Thai indeed. Some of our favorites are Fresh Spring rolls, Pork Dumplings, love the Drunken Noodles (Chicken for me & Tofu for my husband) and the veggies in the entrees are always so fresh. We also love the Tofu Cashew stir fry.

Our new favorite! Beautiful restaurant, easy access location, kind and friendly staff, and amazing food. Fresh, fresh, fresh. We ordered for lunch and we both ordered more meals to take home. Not a bad dish ordered: pad Thai, som tum, green curry, fresh spring rolls. We love Jeera Thai in New Haven for Pad Thai but Puket takes the win. Like the other, authentic flavors and not saucy like so many make the mistake of doing. Perfectly cooked veggies and beautiful colors. Love this place!

Puket Cafe is a very good Thai restaurant in Cromwell. Food was good and service was excellent.
Tom Yum Soup with Shrimp was very good and well balanced in flavors. Crab Rangoon was very standard but good. The Homemade Thai Sausage was well seasoned and very tasty. Larb is always a favorite dish to order in a Thai restaurant. The Chicken Larb at Puket Cafe was good but was lacking a sour component to really elevate the dish. The Spicy Basil Fried Rice was a little disappointing. It wasn't very spicy and lacked basil flavor. The best dish of the night was the Choo Chee Fish. It consisted

Got carry out tonight and the food was delicious! However, pick8g up the food was a little crazy as the same person answering the constantly ringing phone was finding the orders and checking you out! They really needed another person on the front counter in addition to this one person. All in all, I got my order and retreated to the comfort of my home!
Both my wife and I love it here as it is consistently fantastic!!!

Really excited to see the selection of curries available at this Thai restaurant. The portions were large, prices where extremely good and the service was great. Waitress was knowledgeable of the menu and very helpful when recommending dishes. I would definitely recommend the mango curry and remember to make room for the mango sticky rice. It was the perfect way to finish our meal!

I've tried this place a few times for a quick lunch. I'd like to say this is more of a "quick food" quality than the typical "sit down" Thai restaurant. It's not a bad thing, just that the quality isn't of a "higher end" Thai restaurant. Haven't found many in the state that warrant the prices anyways and this place does ok for their price and speed.
What I like: Speed, they consistently make my food in about 15min and I can rely on it to be complete when they say it will be. 15min means 15min OR LESS!
Food is pretty delicious and they let

This place is absolutely delicious! Everything I was able to try here was amazing! The pad Thai and drunken noodles were everything I wanted them to be and the Thai iced tea was perfectly sweet. The calamari was crispy yet tender and the crab Rangoon were some of the better kinds I've had anywhere. I ordered an eggplant and chicken stir fry which was absolutely delightful! All of the portions were very generous and I'm very happy with our visit. Would definitely recommend to anyone around

At all Thai restaurants I go to, I always order Thai tea to truly judge how good a place (plus Thai tea is generally delicious). Theirs was absolutely top notch! Not overwhelmingly sweet or creamy. We received the shrimp in a blanket and crab rangoon as appetizers and both were very delicious. The crab rangoon was a perfect balance of cream cheese and imitation crab, something I found to not always be the case whenever I order this at other places. I ordered the radna with beef and wow it was a generous portion. The beef was nice and tender and the flavors were all there. If I'm ever craving

Pretty sure I go to Phuket at least once a week as it's phenomenal! Lunch specials are great for weekdays. I usually end up with Green Curry, but their Golden Crispy Chicken and Basil Rice are great. Portions are huge and the ladies that work there are always very friendly.
I've ordered carry out many times and they are fast.

Extensive menu with lots of options for appitzers, drinks, noodles, fried rice, and more. The portions are big and filling and the service is fast and friendly. Had the chicken satay, pork dumplings, chicken pad Thai, and drunken noodles. The Thai iced tea was tasty as well. The restaurant is located in a small strip mall so there is plenty of parking.

Always a great experience when eating here. It has been consistently good for years. Nice staff, great food quality, clean facility, and delicious array of options!
I am a big fan of their mango curry, drunken noodle, soups, and chicken wings. I really haven't had anything on the menu that I didn't like though.
Their crispy chicken that they offer as a topping on those dishes is fabulous! If you're thinking of ordering it, I highly recommend!

I had guests from out-of-state visiting and I thought Puket Cafe II would be the perfect place to take them on a Friday night. Although I hadn't checked it out myself, I had been recommended this place by many a foodie friend and had seen how highly reviewed it was on Yelp. I was certain the place would live up to my expectations.
I am sad to say it didn't.
I blame my poor choice of entrees, for the most part, really. We went with the crispy Pad Thai, as opposed to the traditional one, the House Special fried rice and the Massaman Curry.
Traditional Pad Thai is made with flat, quarter

I have been here multiple times and I would rate this place better than most Thai places. They have lots of seating space and I never had to wait.
They offer multiple options for appetizers, soup, curry and noodles. You can order any of them with your choice of vegetable, tofu, chicken, shrimp or beef. My favourite here is the Tom Kha soup and drunken noodles.

Puket Cafe is my regular Thai food spot in the area. I've eaten here several times and I've been completely satisfied with each visit. Their wings are delicious and crispy, We also had the Thai sausage appetizer and I Love their drunken noodles and fried rice dishes. I also like their grilled chicken pad Thai and they cook it perfectly.
The dumpling soup, which is always fabulous. Service was very friendly and the water glasses are always filled. They also have a sushi bar, which is very good.
The portions are BIG and the prices are spot on. Everyone is so nice. They are so polite and

I feel like I'm at my Thai grandma's house, but I don't have a grandma from Thailand.
I come in and is seated by such a sweet lady I think she's the owner. Then my waitress was also a sweet old lady. I love it!
Let's keep it simple shall we?
To start off with we had the Thai Dumplings and the Dancing Lady grilled shrimp appetizer. They were both delightful and grilled stuff on a skewer at Thai restaurants is always good.
Now for my entrée I got the Pad See Eew with Crispy Chicken. The chicken was cooked PERFECTLY. The crispy chicken was sooooo good with the Pad See

First we noticed that Puket Cafe was pretty busy for a Wednesday night.
Second we noticed that the restaurant's interior is gorgeous.
Third we noticed that the servers were incredibly nice & sweet & polite.
Fourth we noticed that the menus is pretty darned big.
And fifth we noticed that the food was outstanding.
We were extremely impressed by out first visit to the Puket Cafe. We started off with two soups -a Tom Kha with shrimp for me ($5) and a Dumpling soup for my wife ($4). My soup was so good- beautiful coconut flavor with chunks of tomato and mushroom with two plump shrimps
