Café Equator Thai Cuisine - Metairie

Very very very tasty, service was fast and the staff was very attentive. For their Covid standards they have the cutlery packaged and if your order a soft drink they give it to you in plastic bottle. The food was very very good! My new fave Thai cafe in New Orleans! I strongly recommend! I ordered from the lunch specials Basil Eggplant with shrimp (the eggplant was the best I?ve had done Thai style)! and my partner Ordered the drunken Monkey lunch combo!

Holy moly! I was pleasantly surprised! Where do I start? My sis and I stopped here kind of impromptu. We just wanted somewhere to sit and eat for lunch. So first off there was no parking when we got there. We were told we could park in the breauxmart parking lot across the street, which is no problem. They do have a small parking lot in the back like 4 or 5 cars worth of parking spaces, so keep that in mind when you pull up. Upon entry we were greeted so courteously andwe were seated right away. It's a smaller, more intimate restaurant. The environment was calm and low-key. The music was not loud and overbearing like you'd find at some restaurants, so we didn't have to scream at each other to hold aconversation. It was just right. For apps we had the fried calamari, delicious! We destroyed that! For main course, I had the ginger tori (chicken) and my sister had the grilled pork. Oh. My. Gosh. The food here: AMAZING! Everything wasfresh and so tasty! I couldn't stop eating, I didn't even pause for a breath. It was that good. The food was seasoned just right and everything blended so perfectly. The egg roll was so good but my only gripe: the egg roll was too small,two bites and it's gone, haha. The sauce they provided for that was fantastic. Everything was cooked to perfection. Oh, by the way, your dishes come with rice. It's not on the menu but it comes with it. You can always order extra on theside. The portions too are a healthy amount. Overall, a great dining experience but my only issues are the parking and the tiny egg rolls. Apart from that, I would definitely recommend this spot for great Thai food!

I had the Penang chicken. It was sooooo good. It was smaller than it looked outside. The waitress was great.

My favorite place for thai food. I?ve tried all thai spots and nobody can get it right but them! My favorites are the veggie rolls, basil fried rice, and their pad thai. Everything is always fresh and balanced between the proteins and veggies. Portions are always bigger when you order in than through uber. Their chili oil is a must with all of the entrees!! I literally eat here 3-4x a week, every time my friends ask where we should eat I always pick Equators. ???? Sorryto my friends

Great location with a parking garage close by. That's important as the parking for the restaurant fills up fast. Nice interior with friendly, professional staff. Thai tea was on the sweeter side, but the drunken noodles were excellent. Definitely worth a stop if you want great Thai food.
