Loved the food here!! Everything we ordered was very flavorful. The papaya salad was a little on the spicy end but we still ate it all! I was a little hesitant to get the grilled chicken wings but they were soooo good…so much flavor, and I only tasted the end of the wing. Our 3 yo devoured the wings! Staff was also very friendly and attentive.

I love Thai food and a friend recommended Cafe Equator for dinner. There was adequate parking but I can imagine there not being enough parking during busier times. We were quickly seated and the server did a good job. The menu here is quite extensive and it took me forever to decide what to order. I chose the Pad See Ew (with pork) and a side of Roti. My food was delicious and I didn’t have a single complaint. The Pad See Ew was very flavorful and the serving size was big. The Roti was buttery and yummy as expected. I’ll definitely be adding this place to my list of go-to restaurants.
