My recent order arrived on time, but more importantly, it arrived in a nice package where the containers were properly sealed and none broke. This has never happened to me before in the multiple cities/states I have lived in and I was so happy and excited that I didn't have to deal with a mess like normal! If I order Thai food delivery again instead of going into the restaurant, I will only ever order from Dancing Crab! read less

We always got delivery and it was delicious so we finally tried it in person. Even better! The noodles were so fresh, the spice level was spot on, plenty of veggies, tofu fried well. We've pretty much tried most of the veggie things on the menu, and you can't go wrong with any of them tbh. If you like thai food, don't waste your time or $ going anywhere else! read less

You get a lot for your money. the lunch deals are only during the week FYI. we all loved our meals. I got spice level and it was relatively tame, i could just taste a hint of spice. when i go back i'm gonna try a four. i don't typically order spicy food (i get a 1 at noodlehead for reference) so i think their scale of 0-10 isn't as spicy. i liked you got more vegetables with this dish versus other thai places. i liked how on yelp you get the 10% off! one use per table. read less

They only do dinner on the weekends which we weren't aware of so it was a little bit more expensive than we thought but still worth it! Would definitely go back! read less

Went on a date with my boyfriend and we ordered crab Rangoon, Tom yum soup, and two orders of drunken noodles! Everything was very good! My boyfriend said it was the best rangoons he's ever had lol!! Delicious Tom yum soup and man were the drunken noodles good! service was quick and friendly! Staff was so extremely nice and made It an even better experience! Will definitely be back!
On spice: the spice level was pretty spicy for a the 4 I ordered! Just to know if you ever check this place out! read less

I've never had pineapple fried rice this good anywhere. Also, the dumplings appetizer is magnif, as are the spring rolls. I've also enjoyed the chicken pad see ew as well as the drunken noodles, and they're among the best I've had anywhere.
But I didn't so much enjoy the pad Thai. I had duck pad thai, and where the duck itself was delicious, there was some weird, cloyingly sweet sauce in the noodle portion. My wife, who had gotten a tofu version of the pad thai, had the same thing to say about her boodles. In fact she may have also referred to them as "cloyingly sweet." In fact I may have plagiarized that descriptor from her.
Update: my wife is suing me for plagiarism, but Dancing Crab is still our go-to for Thai food! We just don't get any versions of the pad thai and we're all set! read less

Chicken Pad Thai- 4.6/5
Delicious. Rivals Noodlehead. Dancing Crab's version is a little on the saucier side. I'm used to pad Thai tamarind sauce being absorbed more into the noodles for a drier consistency so good thing the sauce was superb. This is classic and authentic Thai fare. read less

My boyfriend and I stopped here for an early dinner before catching a movie. Be warned- even on weekends they do close mid-day although the hours posted on the internet show it is open all day Saturday and Sunday.
We arrived a few minutes before they re-opened at 4. No worries- there is a great beer store a couple store fronts away, so we shopped for some beers to bring to dinner (it is BYOB).
We came back at 4 and were seated right away. My boyfriend and I both ordered drunken noodles and spring rolls to share.
Fantastic Thai food! They sprinkle fried garlic on top- so good! They veggies seemed really fresh and I don't think they were frozen, which many Thai restaurants will use.
Overall great food and service! read less

If you like Thai iced tea, I would stick with the original. Tap water wasn't great so I would recommend bottled. Steamed buns were yummy but could use some heat.
