Reviews for Café Equator Thai Cuisine in Metairie, LA
Best Thai restaurant so far!! Great quality and flavors in the dishes! Staff is nice and helpful! The place is nice and cozy!
By far the best Thai Food in New Orleans. This restaurant has been around for decades. I have tried other uptown restaurants... that have come and go, but nothing compares to the food here. Very consistent. Only wish that the portions were larger, and thatthey had much better variety. It?s really sad that they do not have my favorite papaya salad. Read more
Great location with a parking garage close by. That's important as the parking for the restaurant fills up fast. Nice interior... with friendly, professional staff. Thai tea was on the sweeter side, but the drunken noodles were excellent. Definitely worth astop if you want great Thai food. Read more
My favorite place for thai food. I?ve tried all thai spots and nobody can get it right but them! My favorites are the veggie... rolls, basil fried rice, and their pad thai. Everything is always fresh and balanced between the proteins and veggies. Portionsare always bigger when you order in than through uber. Their chili oil is a must with all of the entrees!! I literally eat here3-4x a week, every time my friends ask where we should eat I always pick Equators. ???? Sorry to my friends~ Read more
I had the Penang chicken. It was sooooo good. It was smaller than it looked outside. The waitress was great.
Holy moly! I was pleasantly surprised! Where do I start? My sis and I stopped here kind of impromptu. We just wanted somewhere... to sit and eat for lunch. So first off there was no parking when we got there. We were told we could park in the breauxmartparking lot across the street, which is no problem. They do have a small parking lot in the back like 4 or 5 cars worth ofparking spaces, so keep that in mind when you pull up. Upon entry we were greeted so courteously and we were seated right away.It's a smaller, more intimate restaurant. The environment was calm and low-key. The music was not loud and overbearing likeyou'd find at some restaurants, so we didn't have to scream at each other to hold a conversation. It was just right. For apps wehad the fried calamari, delicious! We destroyed that! For main course, I had the ginger tori (chicken) and my sister had thegrilled pork. Oh. My. Gosh. The food here: AMAZING! Everything was fresh and so tasty! I couldn't stop eating, I didn't evenpause for a breath. It was that good. The food was seasoned just right and everything blended so perfectly. The egg roll was sogood but my only gripe: the egg roll was too small, two bites and it's gone, haha. The sauce they provided for that wasfantastic. Everything was cooked to perfection. Oh, by the way, your dishes come with rice. It's not on the menu but it comeswith it. You can always order extra on the side. The portions too are a healthy amount. Overall, a great dining experience butmy only issues are the parking and the tiny egg rolls. Apart from that, I would definitely recommend this spot for great Thaifood! Read more
Very very very tasty, service was fast and the staff was very attentive. For their Covid standards they have the cutlery... packaged and if your order a soft drink they give it to you in plastic bottle. The food was very very good! My new fave Thaicafe in New Orleans! I strongly recommend! I ordered from the lunch specials Basil Eggplant with shrimp (the eggplant was thebest I?ve had done Thai style)! and my partner Ordered the drunken Monkey lunch combo!
