I don't claim to be a worldly traveler who has tried many types of cuisine in their home nations, but I've had flavorful and exciting Thai dishes in the US. Singapore Cafe didn't meet my expectations. I've eaten at Thai restaurants in a handful of US states and I haven't been impressed by any of them in El Paso. I had the Pad Thai and my partner had the honey cashew beef. My Pad Thai was underseasoned and the chicken was overcooked to the point of toughness. My partner's honey cashew beef was okay, but tasted more like a sweet tomato-based barbeque sauce than an Asian-inspired flavor. The Thai iced tea is also pretty weak - it needs more "tea" flavor because it comes off rather watery.

The good was good but i was totally uncomfortable in there. The cook/owner started yelling at and berating the waiter about a customer ordering the wrong dish. His yelling was all that we could hear in the restaurant. The other employees fled to the other side of the room and genuinely seemed afraid. The owners wife showed up and told him to stop yelling, so he yelled some more and stormed out of the kitchen on his way out of the restaurant, he purposely went out of his way to try and intimidate the waiter by charging at him. This is clearly not a professional.

Chicken Pad Thai was very good. We've had bad Chicken Pad Thai and were looking for a place since our regular spot was having issues. My wife is picky about her food but approved of the food here. Took it to go but decor looked nice enough to stay. We will try this place again.

This was some good eating. I had Beef Begoki¿(I think is the correct spelling) I had it with steamed white rice, with a lettuce and carrot salad on the side. I can't eat iceberg lettuce, so I took it out, but everything else was wonderful together...and I topped it off with a raspberry ice tea. ??

The soup is amazing!!!!

Came to this place w my mom because we love trying new food and we love Thai food, we were so disappointed, the food is super expensive and low quality. Lots of canned corn and the veggies taste like they're not cooked in the sauce and they were really undercooked plus they had no flavor. It's like someone bought sauce, cooked veggies and then just poured it on top of them. The Thai tea was okay and the pad Thai was also bearable. The older waiter with white hair is super rude but the younger guy with long hair was very sweet and polite. If you want really good versions of what they have here try Pho Tre Bien or Tara Thai, both really good restaurants and prices are about the same. This place should be at least half it's price just bc the quality is so bad.

I love the customer service in all the moment the server it was with us when we needed. The cashew chicken its fabulous ?

Best lunch special ever. Good serviceGreat food

Ordered the ginger tofu take out. My friend got a shrimp dish. The service was friendly but the food was very mediocre. It was okay, like I could eat it but I’d never go back again. My friend didn’t like his at all
