Plumeria Thai Cafe

Awesome place! Super, clean. Service is fast, definitely home-​cooked flavor. Veteran owned. Only place that I like Thai tea.

I really wanted to like this place bcs I love Thai and I love Hawaii (lived there for 8 years)… But after ordering twice, I’ve just been so disappointed.
The place is hard to find, there’s no outside signage so we circled around the shopping center like 3 times. Thank goodness someone Unilocaled that it’s to the right of Groomingdales. Otherwise I wouldn’t have found it.
The inside is small with some tables and chairs.
Today I ordered fried chicken wings and beef pad Thai. The chicken wings were overcooked. They were beyond crispy, dried out and tasteless. I was very disappointed since I had to throw away food and upset bcs that’s money down the trash.
The beef pad Thai had no flavors of Thai cuisine. It was just noodles, eggs, beef, noodles and some soy sauce — no sweetness, no tanginess… After 2 bites I just didn’t want any more. Another disappointment and waste of money.
My first experience was basically the same but I had forgotten I had eaten here before hence the second order. So I made sure I took the bookmark off this place!

Real THAI FOOD PLUS! When I walked in, I was a little worried but the food was fantastic. Oxtail soup, mango sticky rice, pad see ew chicken & rice /​noodles perfect… Our new Thai food to go pit stop… I approve this message J K KUHL from EARTH 2.0

If you’re from Hawaii this is a must. We have been eating their Ono food since the Wahiawa days. Green Curry chicken katsu is my fav! Oh and don’t forget the mac salad. If I could give 10 stars I would! Rodney and the gang are the best!

This is officially my new favorite Thai spot. The owners are very very nice people. I put in an order online (though Unilocal) then headed to the store. Note it is hard to see at night because they don’t have a very big sign so keep your eyes peeled.
The prices are very affordable and the food… Oh man let me tell you the food… IS AMAZING! I ordered the Thai Hotter then Hell Basil Fried Rice and let me tell you hotter than hell is correct!!! I like spicy so I went for the Hot, and it hit the spot!!! With the first bite I was on my way to Yummy Town. My Boyfriend ordered the Thai Drunkards Noodles and he was on cloud 9.
Everything was awesome. Like I said before this is my new favorite Thai spot.
I also like to support my fellow veterans! Thanks for your Service!

Came here on a date, as an adventure in new Thai restaurants since we both had our own favorites. We weren’t far away, and the reviews looked positive.
At first it seemed a little sketchy from afar, hard to see from the street and in the back corner of the shopping center. But we found it. Once inside it had a typical hole in the wall restaurant feel, which isn’t a bad thing.
The owner (I presume) took our order. He was very congenial and chatted with us for a moment. We ordered Pad Thai (level 7) and Panang curry (level 10). The Pad Thai had a great flavor to it, a nice richness that’s often lacking, and the chicken was tender and flavorful. It was spicy but not overwhelming, just enough. The Panang curry had a really good kick to it, very spicy. Probably what I’d have called a 9, which is awesome, because Thai restaurants usually give me a 6 or 7 at most unless I order higher than 10 and promise it’s really what I want. The flavor was great, again nicely rich, lots of spice, good balance. The rice was sticky and firm. We followed everything up with a sticky rice mango dessert. Following suit, it was great. Substantial portion, not sickly sweet, and the the mango was excellent. We chatted with the owner about mangoes and seasons and how they’ve finally found an off-​season mango that was good enough (and it was. I can’t wait to try it again in season!).
Overall, extremely pleasant dinner. Delicious food. Very friendly. Will be returning, no doubt.

Absolutely delicious food and a very nice gentleman behind the counter. I had the bamboo shoot stirfry and it was quite good. My brother had the oxtail soup and it is to die for. It’s like a Taiwanese oxtail soup mixed with Tom Yum, a heavy meaty flavor cut with kefir lime, basil and lemongrass.
They don’t have a sign, but they are tucked in behind Voodoo wings next to cash1 on Cheyenne. Very easy to miss! But so good!

Wanted some Thai food so I searched for nearby places… So glad I came across Plumeria Thai!!! It’s very small and unassuming, but don’t let that fool you.
The food was very good… Generous portions at a very affordable price. And the service was excellent! The owner who served us (I just realized that we never got his name!) was very friendly and chatted with us and made us feel very at home.
We did not feel like we were in a restaurant at all… It felt like we were in someone’s home, eating a very well prepared home cooked meal. We will definitely be back!

Went in for our 3^rd visit. I am addicted to the macaroni salad… Yummy. The pad keemao never disappoints. The volcano chicken is my older son’s favorite and my ‘vegetarian’ son (6 years old) can’t get enough of the chicken satay, the eggplant chicken was amazing. The papaya salad is so refreshing and delicious, down to the toasted peanuts. We order mild to share, I am the only spice eater in the family so I add their toasted Thai chili powder to my plate. The best! I love to wash this all down with their perfectly made Thai iced tea. As always the hospitality is the best! We find ourselves craving this place often!

So worth trying a new place because of their reviews. Every review was right on point.
Support your local small businesses Unilocalers because this one needs to stay open.
Prior military (army vet owner) thank you sir!
Amazing Thai chai tea
Food was full of fresh flavor and they got the spice right on point.
Will defiantly be back!!!

Great choice for Thai/​Hawaiian food in the NW part of the valley. I opted to try based on the great reviews of my fellow Unilocalers. This was my first time and I ordered take-​out.
I agree to order a level down on spiciness. I’m usually about an 8 at most Thai places. I ordered a «medium» here and it was just right. I wouldn’t have wanted it any spicier. It was pretty awesome that I could smell the heat on my drive home.
Staff was super friendly and I was warmly welcomed by a young family member. A true Aloha experience.
Follow them on Facebook. This a a small, family run establishment so any updates on hours/​closures will be posted there.
*Like other small restaurants, there is no public restroom*
(near a 7 – 11 in case of bathroom emergency)

The food here is awesome! I like to try something different every time and I’m never disappointed. Rodney, the owner is awesome and friendly, a retired army veteran who understands what customer service is all about! If you’re in the area, try it out, you won’t be disappointed!

I had the vegetables with tofu and jasmine rice. It was good. I was surprised at the level of spice. I got a med. spice level, and it was hot. So when ordering, order the level under what you think you want. That way you can save yourself.
Outside of that, I preordered using Eat24 due to me offering at 4pm and them not opening until 5pm.
I got a call as they got back early and asked if I would like it before 5pm. They delivered to the hotel room for me.
Great service, and great food. I hope to be able to eat here again sometime.

Stopped in for takeout based on Unilocal reviews while starving and exhausted from staying with my PIC at nearby MountainView Hospital. Owner Rodney and his wife Phong and their charming little restaurant were the perfect pick-​me-​up.
The Chicken Larb w Thai Spice was delicious, chock full of veggies and I was pleased that they took my desired Thai spice level seriously. Tofu Pad See Ew was a very generous portion of flavorful noodles and a large variety of veggies, I especially enjoyed the Chinese broccoli. The complimentary Thai Iced Tea with Unilocal check-​in was tasty, too.
Definitely filled with Aloha spirit, serving up delicious food cooked to order in a welcoming setting, I’ll be back to try Tom Kha, Crying Tiger, Drunken Noodles… and more. This is exactly the kind of locally owned gem I adore, you can taste the love in the food!
* also offer a variety of Hawaiian dishes *
** just a few tables inside, but I’d dine in for sure **

Rodney is very warm and welcoming. From the very beginning of our time in the restaurant we were gifted with a nice smile. The food was amazing. I’ve been to Thailand before and this food reminded me of it so much.
The pad thai was delicious. My family had the drunken noodles, sticky noodles, and the fried chicken. All of it was delicious.
Definitely coming back again!

The food? Wonderful. The owners? Even better!
You like Thai food? You dig Hawaiian grinds? This is your home now. The spirit of Aloha flows from this place like the lava from Kilauea. We’re so looking forward to coming back soon for both the food and the conversation. Rodney is just awesome.
Now that food, if you don’t know what «broke da mouth» means before you eat here, you will after! There’s a great mix of Thai and fusion Hawaiian on the menu. So many choices, so just pick one and go. Get the rest later! (Check in on Unilocal for a Thai Iced Tea!)
As mentioned previously, that Volcano Sauce is da bomb. I told my wife you could dump it on a dead frog and you’d be happy to eat it. Man, it’s just a perfect mix of sweet, sour, and spicy (but not too spicy). It’s too much for a light weight, but for most folks, I imagine it’s just about right. (I can’t speak for the spice levels of the food as we didn’t order anything inherently spicy. From overheard conversations, I’d advise you to not overestimate your ability.
The Peanut Sauce is great.
I’d like to point out something interesting, a little extra effort to make everything a little special is their use of a mix of red and white jasmine rice. The attention to detail shows the amount of care with which their cuisine is prepared.
Also, it may sound odd, but the Thai Tapioca dessert with corn and coconut milk is absolutely delightful.
TL;DR — Great family owned place with amazing food.

The only con is that there is no signage above the restaurant to make it stand out, but closely you’ll see a sign on the window. It is located next to Groomingdales on the corner of Rainbow and Cheyenne.
Once found I can only say this establishment exudes only pros!!!
The business owners are very attentive, they’re really genuine and kind. Being that I’ve grown up with Thai food, I can confidently say that this Thai/​Hawaiian fusion is one of the best I’ve had in my life. Great portions for the prices, everything is fresh and made to order.
What more can I say, come check this place out!!! You won’t regret it!!!

Local Hawaii peeps!
Plumeria Thai Café is the newest iteration of this little hole-​in-​the-​wall restaurant in the plaza off of Cheyenne & N. Rainbow. Let’s hope it stays there!
Owned by a local ex-​military bruddah from Oahu & his little Thai wife, this place has some ONO kine’ grinds! Want some Thai food with a little kick? Go here! Want some delicious Hawaiian favorites? Go here! Check out the «Broke the Mouth» part of the menu. Chicken katsu! Oxtail soup!
It was our first time there and we ended up «talking story» with the owner for a good 15 minutes even before we placed our take out order! That’s just how we local people do folks. In fact, owners prefer if you stay in the tiny restaurant to eat just so they can shoot the breeze with you! Very friendly, lots of Aloha Spirit floating around in this joint.
When we finally came to ordering we went with:
*Pad Thai Noodles with Chicken ($ 8.95) — rice noodles simmered in tamarind sauce & topped with peanuts and bean sprouts
*Pad Siew (aka Thai Chow Fun) with Beef ($ 8.95) — wide rice noodles stir fried with vegetables, egg & Chinese broccoli
It was a carby night! With your order, remember you will probably be asked about your spice level. If you can’t take the heat, stay low! We did, and even at a mild level it still had a tiny hot punch. Me personally, I like it hot, if I wasn’t sharing I would have gone more toward a medium level spice.
Servings of both noodle entrees were big! One container of noodles would have fed the three of us easily. Verdict? Pretty darn good! Pad Thai was less orange than I usually see, but the flavor was good, more on the sweet side. Added crunch of peanuts and bean sprouts were good. My fav ended up being the Pad Siew, I love a good chow fun! This one didn’t disappoint, fat rice noodles with pieces of beef all simmered in a lovely soy sauce concoction. The Chinese broccoli added some color as well as texture. Very tasty.
We’ll be back again to try some of their other Thai specialties, especially their rice and curry dishes. Until then Plumeria Thai Café, MAHALOS!

Plumeria Thai Café is a mom & pop owned business. Rodney (owner) and his wife just recently moved to Vegas from Hawaii where they owned a restaurant of the same name.
They have a nice size menu with lots to choose from ranging from Thai and Hawaiian Thai infused dishes. Items tried and liked: Green Papaya Salad, Eggplant with Chicken Stir Fry, Lemongrass Tofu Stir Fry and Hawaiian Style Macaroni Salad (for all you Hawaii peeps out there, it taste just like the kind you get at an Okazuya). Everything was fresh tasting and delicious! :)
Restaurant is small (6 or so tables) & quaint and clean. Customer service is excellent. They are very accommodating when it comes to the menu, so just ask. A new favorite for my family and I! :)

So this new Plumeria Thai has replaced the old Thai Noodles Café. Apparently the new owners are close to the old owners and took over when they retired. The new people came from Hawaii where they had a restaurant before.
The menu looks pretty similar but has a few new items. Hawaiian items. They have Hawaiian macaroni salad and a banana coconut spring roll. Sounds interesting but I had already ordered my standard pad see ew and paid when I found the new stuff. Next time.
Like I said, I ordered my standard pad see ew tonight. It was not the old standard I am used to. Usually it is chicken, broccoli, egg and noodles. This dish I got tonight had carrots, celery, cabbage amd bell pepper in addition. I’m not saying its a bad thing. Just different. There is more substance. While I more often than not would prefer to keep it simple, what I care more about is that there are noodles and good flavor. These were some good noodles. A little spicy as I ordered a level 3 (higher end of mild?). I ended up with a squirt of fresh lime juice to really make the flavors pop. While this was not my favorite representation of pad see ew it did go down fast.
I am excited to try some of the new menu items. You can bet I will be back. Service was very friendly. Better than it used to be before the change. And with some new treats to try, a second and even athird visit are in order.
