Daughter Thai Kitchen & Bar

Daughter Thai is one of my favorite restaurants in Denver & it has my vote for the best Thai food in town. We had lunch here over the weekend and tried out new cocktails & dishes we have never had before. We arrived at Daughter Thai and were seated in a booth in the main dining room. The aesthetic of the restaurant was enthusiastically Thai with carved wooden lattices and red & gold filigree chandeliers. Our mixologist & server Miguel was such a pleasure and ensured we had everything we needed while we dined. He whipped us up two craft cocktails that will be debuting on Daughter Thais menu for spring. The Lean Green Machine was made with basil, aloe, cucumber, and white rum. This cocktail was refreshing and immediately hit the nose with basil & cucumber. It was an smooth sipper and a great spring drink. The Last Goodbye was made with pineapple, yellow chartreuse, and tiki bitters. The Last Goodbye rushed onto the palate with bright pineapple. This cocktail had good zing to it - the saffron and anise from the chartreuse added subtle spice that lingered on the tongue. For Small Plates we had the Bangkok Ribs and the Gyoza. The Bangkok Ribs were made with glaze honey palm sugar black soy sauce, Chinese bok choy, and crunchy noodles. The Bangkok Ribs are a must order when dining at Daughter Thai - they were fantastic. The juicy rib meat fell of the bone with ease and was tender and sticky sweet with glaze. The Gyoza were pork pot stickers served with house soy sauce. The fried gyoza had hot crisp exteriors and were filled with savory pork. For Main Plates we had the Pad Thai, Khoa Soi Kai (noodles curry), Thaiger Green Curry, and the Chicken Pad See Moa. The Pad Thai was made with small rice noodles, bean sprouts, chive, and peanut. This is the best Pad Thai I have ever had. The stir-fried rice noodles were piping hot and had the perfect balance of sweet and sour. The peanuts added great crunch against the soft chew of the saucey noodles. The Khoa Soi Kai (noodles curry) was made with northern style curry sauce , egg noodles, shredded chicken, hard-boiled egg, bean sprouts, red onion , green onion, and crispy shallot. This was my first time having the Khoa Soi Kai and I loved it. The coconut curry broth was rich, creamy and packed with aromatics and flavor - I drank every last drop. The Thaiger Green Curry with Jasmine Rice was made with grilled angus flat-iron steak, Thai eggplant cherry tomatoes, red bell, green bean, and Roti puffs. The thick pieces of angus steak had an intense beef flavor that paired well with the spice of the green curry and doughy roti bread. This was Ross favorite of the meal. The Chicken Pad See Moa was made with flat rice noodles stir-fried with egg, broccoli, red bell peppers, green beans, basil, chili, and garlic. Ross ordered the Pad See Moa Hot and this plate brought the heat which we both enjoyed. The dish overall was savory with major spice coming from the Thai chilis.

Daugher Thai was just okay. The experience was off and the food was overpriced for the portion size. They list on the menu and tell you is family style so we each got dishes to share and an appetizer. The Khao Soi Kai and the appetizer sampler were the only good things, the Prawn Pad Thai was overly sweet and the noddles were super chewy. The Khao Soi Kai was also a soup noodles dish which was awkward in sharing and not the best to use with other dishes on one plate and one spoon to share.

This is the best Thai food I've ever experienced. I tried several things on the menu, and nothing failed to amaze me. The atmosphere is a bit more intimate, and it is definitely a good option for dates. I would recommend this place to anyone. Food : 5/5 | Service : 5/5 | Atmosphere : 5/5 More

Underwhelmed. So many corners were cut and with all the high reviews I was expecting more. The pineapple fried rice says it comes with shrimp and chicken, it came with just chicken. The pineapple was very clearly from a can, and low quality rice. The gyoza came in a fried wonton wrapper, not a typical gyoza style dough. It gave it a dry and weird flavor. Over all the flavors in the rice were good. Not the best first experience though.
