Thai @ Main Review

Location: Durham, NC
Date: 11/23/24

Overall Impression: 

Casual, classic American Thai food in the heart of downtown Durham. We think it’s the best Thai in the city. Or at least the best drunken noodles!

Leslie’s rating: 4/5 (for a casual spot)
Colin’s rating: 3.5/5

Ambiance:

You don’t go here for the ambiance. It’s quick, it’s not too expensive, and it’s great Thai food. 

Service:

We usually do takeout, but when we do dine in, the service is fine. Nothing to write home about.

What we ate:

  • Crab rangoon: Crispy, not too greasy, and the perfect ratio of crab to cream cheese.
  • Drunken noodles: Most casual Thai restaurants do not do drunken noodles well from our experience. They are bland and often overcooked and we just end up feeling disappointed. Thai @ Main always gets them right with lots of flavor and vegetables. The perfect comfort food when we come back from a trip or don’t feel like cooking.
  • Massaman Curry w/ Chicken: Thai restaurant classic that they do a great job on. Packed with flavor and creaminess.
