Amazing spot. Hidden gem of ALL hidden GEMS. Tight quarters inside, but the staff is super nice, polite, helpful. The food is out of this world! Spring roll were cooked perfectly and flavorful. There's also a sauce bar with SO MANY options. I had the drunken noodles with beef, spicy and delightful. Excellent. Will definitely be back for this again. Also had some spicy chicken tacos - fantastic, flavor for days. Wife had the SPICY tofu tacos - loved them. One order n is 2 well filled tacos, just a heads up! My wife had the tofu stirfry with white rice, excellent. The portions are large, the flavor is bigger. This is a MUST if you're in the area. I'd give 10 stars if I could.

One of my personal Go-To favorites on any occasion, Duke's Never fails to provide the perfect delectable experience, in fact, I always aim to try something new on the menu. Even during busy rush hours, the staff manage to bring forth amazing effort!! Highly recommended for all thai/Vietnamese style cuisine!!
Stopped here Saturday evening to grab a bite before the show at Township. Drove in from Simpsonville and could tell this place had to be good for the amount of people inside. We ordered the pork and shrimp dumplings, and my wife wanted to try the karaoke noodles with beef. I always have to try a restaurants pad thai to see if it's good and that can tell me if the other dishes will prosper or not. If your pad thai isnt good and you classify as a thai restaurant, I can't think your other dishes will be up to par. Imo this pad thai was great. Just a side of fish sauce would go great with it. I also wanted to try the hung over in laos bowl as with it having shrimp and chicken, it caught my eye. We were disappointed in the karaoke noodles as it was flavorless. My wife asked someone for some extra sauce and she said she'd be happy to bring some as usually with a stir fry dish the sauce can evaporate and the dish can sometimes be dry. She brought some sauce and it made the dish so much better once mixed in. She ate the leftovers yesterday for lunch and said it tasted better once the sauce soaked in. We'd love to come back and order next door as I've never had the opportunity to try a bahn mi or as you call them bun mi sandwich.
Whelp. I I visit here often, but never reviewed! This is my favorite overall restaurant. Servings are large! Food is on point! Every time. Today I tried the Larb. It is called Thai beef salad, yum nua, and I love it! Wife had just pho you and it rocks, as usual. Pictures is also dumplings soup haven’t tried yet, but it is delicious as typical.of the soup. Will be back again. Of course.
Wow! Super delicious! I can’t believe I waited so long to try this place. It’s always busy. The food was very flavorful. You can tell they use high-quality ingredients. Fantastic recipes. Staff is super friendly and helpful. You’re totally missing out if you have it been here yet :) it’s overall just a really great atmosphere as well.
Food is the star of the show. If you're looking for an elegant ambiance and full table service, this isn't the place for you. If you want a large menu of delicious Thai and Vietnamese dishes, then step up to the counter and order. This restaurant is busy, but that is just part of the lively atmosphere. Prices are reasonable, and the portions are fairly large. The food was delicious and was brought to the table quickly. We spent about $50 for 2, but we ordered 2 entrees, dumpling soup, papaya salad, and a beer. Gluten-free and vegetarian options are available. Some items can be ordered spiced to your preference. Best Thai food in Columbia!
From the moment you sit down at Duke’s Pad Thai, you feel the care that goes into every detail. My favorite is the red curry at spice level five with clear noodles, chicken, and veggies, always with jalapeños on the side. The Bang Bang Shrimp Tacos are a must, and the flavors always feel like they were made with love. Thank you, Romina, for cooking with such heart. Your touch of mint instantly reminded me of my mom’s cooking and turned my meal into something that felt like home. The staff are always kind, the space is clean, and being here feels welcoming in a way that makes you want to stay. Duke’s Pad Thai has become a place I keep close to me, and it is somewhere I know I will always return to.
