Let it be thai cafe

It’s a cute little place with a calm ambience. Some of the best Thai food i’ve had in a while. Their food was soul touching. We asked them to make our dishes ‘hot’ and it was just the right amount of kick. The portion size for two people was just right and excellent service.

Absolutely fabulous addition to the Hamden New Haven area dining scene! A brightly lit restaurant easy to find on Dixwell Ave. The restaurant is decorated well- brightly lit, bright colors, and tasteful decor. The service is excellent- it’s run by one person and chef B cooks all the meals to order- fresh. No microwaves going off. Take your time when you visit Let It Be Cafe- be prepared to enjoy each other’s company and a freshly made meal. The spring rolls were beautifully presented, fresh and crisp. The tamarind sauce with the rolls was nuanced and delicious. The pad Thai was excellent- it’s the chef’s mom’s recipe with her own twist- really good! The Nam Prik Ong- house specialty was outstanding. So fresh and such bright flavors. We tried the pandan custard- silky, not too sweet, served with salty buttered buns. It was also outstanding. Everything was made with care, and love. The restaurant is very clean. The words we heard repeatedly from other diners were “so good!” We felt the same way. Let It Be Thai Cafe is a mom and pop restaurant run by a hard working family. Support local. Visit! Enjoy! Tell your friends! :)

Without a doubt the best Thai food I've had in Connecticut, if not anywhere. We ordered almost exclusively off of the specials menu and were pleasantly surprised by how delicious and authentic everything was. The chef brought out our two fantastic desserts (Thai tea ice cream & pandan custard buns) and said hello. It was one of the best overall dining experiences I've had to date. Can't wait to try again

Jeff the host/owner is fantastic and very friendly. I was sad when The Terrace has closed but he reopened as a "street style" Thai place. The food is fantastic and worth the wait. We came with a party of 5 people and each dish was wonderful.

Omg I cannot believe I was so blessed to stumble upon this cute Thai restaurant. Kind of in the middle of nowhere and so unexpected but this place is phenomenal! I really appreciate that they do not Americanize the food, this is really authentic Thai street food. The Tom Yum and Pad Thai were some of the best I’ve ever had, and I live in New york and have eaten a ton of Thai before. Really good pit stop on our drive to Portland Maine from New York. We’re gonna be make this our official pit stop place every time now.
