    This was a first class experience from beginning to end. This restaurant "gets it" when it comes to customer satisfaction and service. It also "gets it" when it comes to food preparation and taste. And finally, the place is such a beautifully cozy place. I fell in love with the restaurant as soon as we entered and things got better as time went on. The day started with a visit to the Currier Museum with a group, and afterwards, we all decided to go to Daw Kun Thai. We live an hour away from Manchester, so with little breakfast, we were ravenously hungry came lunch time. Having visited Thailand many times in my younger years, I developed an affinity to Thai food as nutritious, healthy and delicious. As well, Thai culture and people are as wonderful as you can think of. So when a Thai restaurant was mentioned, I gave it a big thumbs up. The folks in our group from Manchester were singing the praises of their food too We entered and were immediately seated. The owner greeted us courteously and it took a while for everyone to decipher the menu offerings. I had the Yum Talai, a succulent chicken salad with all kinds of vegetables and an unforgettable sauce. Superb menu. We left fully satiated and thankful for such a wonderful place existing in New Hampshire. We'll be back.

    This was definitely an interesting stop on a road trip from Boston to Vermont. This Thai spot ended up being quite good, though I have lingering questions about the "authenticity" that they proudly market. We met 2 staff members - the host and a waitress - and both were white. In fact, the waitress couldn't even pronounce most of the dishes on the menu, which was unfortunate. But despite that, the food was quite good, and I left quite satisfied. The fish cakes were excellent, and the spice level was true to what we asked for (for example, a 3 definitely had some kick). The water feature in the center of the restaurant and the decor was quite pretty, and we enjoyed the conversation around the tavern games with the host - these puzzles originated during the Dark Ages in Britain, so no real tie to Thailand, but may still be of interest to try your hand at.

    Golly, Miss Molly - what a find! One of the only things I miss from California is the presence of 11th Tiger, a superb Thai restaurant that really offered authentic Thai dishes - not the generic McThai that one finds 90% of the time. Well ... guess what?! Daw Kun Thai has shown itself to be a worthy replacement. More than worthy, in fact. These guys understand and serve up authentic Thai. Here's an example of why they're so good. I asked whether a dish could be de-spiced for my guest because he's not attuned to spicy. And their answer was "Nope". Went on to explain that the dishes all have a base level of spice and they can amp it up but reducing it below what it calls for hurts the integrity of the recipe and the dish. How rare is that? The opposite of dumbing down the food to fit the clueless customer. Can't tell you how pleased I was with that. Don't feel bad for my guest - it just meant that he had to move over to a non-starred dish and he loved it. Eggplant and pork. On my side I had one of their fish specialties - Pla Rad Prik - and it was sensational. Absolutely going to get a repeat on that one. In a prior visit I had their Pad Kee Mao (drunken noodles) and it was delicious but also quite spicy. Never had it spiced up like that before so if you don't want your noodles spicy go for the Pad See Ewe. My wife had the Choo Chee Salmon and that was another winner. She pronounced it one of the best salmon dishes she's had. We all split their homemade Thai ice cream, made from Thai tea. Very unique flavor and they tell me it's very hard to get, even in Thailand. Definitely worth a sample. Their mango and sticky rice was also delicious but pretty similar to what other places offer - it's hard to improve on ripe mango, sticky rice and sweet coconut sauce. Lots of parking outside. Getting into the parking lot is a bit awkward from one direction as it's on a one-way street.

I'd prefer dine in rather than take out. Prices are a bit higher (compared to other Thai food in the area), but I find the quality and serving sizes to be worth it. The atmosphere takes a dive, and the wall colors are a bit tough to handle. I don't hate green nor yellow, but a deeper, darker tone would absolutely spruce the place up and make me want to come back more often.

    Daw Kun Authentic Thai Restaurant in Manchester on 93 S Maple St was excellent. I went for a business lunch and greatly enjoyed the chicken dish as well as the whole fried fish. I hunted for a authentic experience thst had the sake style of fish I ate in Thailand. Daw Kun nailed it! Accompanying the dish was sticky rice served in a little basket that was made in the same village in ice cold Thai Ice teas were a great way to cool off! Thailand the co owner was from. The husband and wife team provide an exceptional experience while chatting about my trips to Thailand. I can't wait to go back to try more dishes. There are a lot of dishes that really honor the real food I had while there. Other Thai restaurants ate too Americanized for me so I'm so pleased! I also took take out yummy pineapple friend rice and delish Massaman Curry. So so happy with my experience and food!!

    Starting off with a friendly host that seated me right away in a very booth next to their pretty water garden. The food was great. A+ everything is made in house including the sauces and pastry wraps. I had the curry puffs which were some of the better ones I've had. The coconut soup was delicious and a little different. They don't put chucks of lemon grass in which I like better as the lemon grass shoots are hard to eat. I also had the Laab Kai which was at medium pretty spicy. Lots of flavors in it and was juicy. They took the time to cut individual lettuce wraps unlike most places that just give you a giant wedge. I will definitly come back when I'm up this way.

The khao soi was a generous portion, but was lacking a bit of depth (missing/not a lot of fish sauce) and did not come with pickled mustard greens or a lime to brighten the curry broth. We requested a lime wedge so that helped round it out a bit. The space was casual and clean - a long narrow room with the bar and kitchen on one side and a mix of seating (booths, 2 and 4 tops) on the other side. Service was okay - server was nice, but a touch slow and the bartender was super friendly. Decent spot to scratch my curry noodle itch after a day of hiking!

The beef yellow curry I received was absolutely delicious. So what's with my 3 star rating then? Because I actually ordered the beef panang curry. I got a small container of dried chilis, which I added to it, but true panang curry also has red curry paste and peanut in it. The vegetables where those listed in the yellow curry too, so it had no green peppers nor green beans in it. I also ordered the pork spicy fried rice combo. It had an overwhelming fish taste and smell to it. I didn't eat more than two bites of it. I looked back at their menu and it says "a touch of shrimp chili paste" but mine had way more than a touch of it. It actually tasted more like fish sauce than a shrimp chili paste, so it was a bit of a surprise when I tasted it. You also get to chose from Jasmine rice or brown rice with the combo. I assumed that would be what they used to make the fried rice, but I had a side of the Jasmine rice in the same container as the fried rice. I added that with my other Jasmine rice for my curry dish. So that was a pleasant surprise. The combo gives you two vegetable spring rolls and two vegetable dumplings. Those were good. They also included two free crab rangoons in my order, which I appreciated. Those were very good! I'll definitely order those next time. I also ordered the chicken Tom Kha Soup. It was good. They used Beech/brown clamshell mushrooms in it, which was a nice touch. Most other Thai restaurants in the area use button mushrooms and those aren't nearly as good as the Beech mushrooms were. 4 stars on that. So I definitely will give them a try again. I won't try the spicy rice again. Hopefully next time when I order the Beef Panang Curry, that's what I actually end up getting afterall. For now, 3 stars, and I'll update my review after I give them another chance because I do think this restaurant has some promise. I'm hopeful they are able to wow me next time.
