    We ended up coming here 3 days in a row, and I think that says it all! Everything we've tried has been delicious, and we honestly haven't had a bad dish. Our favorites are the Hainan chicken, fried chicken wings, and fried pork belly. so good and definitely worth ordering. The staff has been friendly and welcoming every time we've come in, and the food has been fresh and consistent on every visit. We just wish we lived closer because we'd be here all the time. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in Vegas!

    Another great authentic Thai restaurant in Vegas. They have some great Thai street food. We went with a group of 10. We went with my Thai friend and made him order for the group. Every dish were delicious. Love the tom yum goong and Kai soi chicken- excellent dishes. The service was very quick. Definitely coming back for more awesome food.

    Authentic Thai cuisine in the heart of Vegas chinatown. If you something delicious and reasonably priced, dine here. This was like a homemade meal! Delicious! Five stars for quality and taste!

    Kao Gang was one of our favorite meals during our Vegas trip. We ordered a variety of dishes to share and everything that came out looked as good as it tasted. The papaya salad had the perfect balance of sweet, sour, spicy, and crunchy. The Sai Oua sausage was packed with flavor and paired really well with the fresh herbs and vegetables. The crispy pork belly was a standout with an amazing crunch and plenty of flavor in every bite. The pork rib soup was comforting and packed with flavor. It was the kind of dish that makes you keep going back for another spoonful. We also tried the Thai sausage rice plate and a few other dishes, and everything tasted fresh and made to order. To finish, we had the mango sticky rice, which was the perfect ending to the meal. The mango was sweet and ripe, the sticky rice was soft, and the coconut sauce tied everything together. What I loved most was that every dish felt authentic and full of flavor. Nothing felt watered down or made for tourists. The portions were generous, the service was friendly, and it was refreshing to find something different from the usual Vegas dining scene. Though, it was a tad bit of a smaller space, it felt quaint. We'll definitely be making a return visit the next time we're in Las Vegas. If you enjoy Thai food and like trying a variety of dishes, this place is absolutely worth checking out.

    I had an amazing meal from Kao Gang. I was in the area and had seen that it had great Yelp Reviews so went for the first time. I was greeted by a super friendly woman. I let her know I was going to get something to go. She gave me a menu and told me to have a seat. I had read about the Express Menu (10am - 3pm) so inquired about that since I was limited on time. She explained it was rice and one entree for $10.99. You can also add a 2nd or 3rd entree. I said that sounded good and she showed me where the Express Menu items were. She opened up the covers for all the entrees at the serving counter and told me what each was. There was 6 choices and a nice variety. I can't remember them all, just the one I got- the Panang (Curry) Pork; which is one of my favorites. She packed the rice and entree up and I was on my way back to work. The food was amazing. The dish had so much flavor. It's tender pieces of pork in a coconut based red curry sauce. I was ready to go back the next day, I enjoyed it that much. I believe the choice of Express Entrees change daily. The restaurant is nice, casually decorated if you decided to dine in. There is lots of parking available, which is always appreciated. They also have a full menu of Entrees, Noodles, Rice, Soups, Salads, and Desserts. I can't wait to try some other dishes.

    My sister, her family, along with mom were here in February, and we all tried it out. Mom and I were trying to figure out breakfast, and she was excited about coming back here! We'll probably be back tomorrow morning!

    Tom Kah and pad Thai.

    Great little place. Tom Kah was top notch and pad Thai was great too. Service was very good as well, worth trying if you're craving Thai.

    Mango with sticky rice.

    One of the best Thai restaurants in Las Vegas, this place serves authentic Thai food. They also have ready-to-eat options, so you can grab them and go for a quick bite. Many items on the menu look delicious, and you can customize your spice level. The service here is excellent and very helpful. They'll tell you what's in your food and recommend special dishes. Everything here is great. Enjoy your meal and you'll want to come back again and again, like I did.

    If you ever been to Thailand and had our street food. I highly recommend Kao Gang. The brand new fast casual, express service is amazing and in my opinion is truly authentic Thai food. The variety of their menu is exceptional. The services definitely on point. The value is there and who care about price if the food are delicious. I am cheering this place on and I will come back to try their breakfast. Kao Gang open from 9am-9pm. If you want to find out what Thai people eat for breakfast... you have to come out and check out their breakfast menu!

    Love this place, my fiancé and I always come here She's from Thailand so she also approves ! The service is great they're all friendly The food is amazing as well. Love how they have food options you can pick that's ready to cook as well as a menu to order from

    Thant A.

    This place has 5 stars for a reason. Every single dish we ordered was spot on perfect taste wise. Issan sausage appetizer felt like I'm back in Thailand. The Tom Lang Zaap soup we ordered at spicy level 3/10 was out of this world amazing. Note spicy level here is really spicy so go low on the number if you can't handle it. Mok Pla steamed fish in banana leaves was also good but it tasted a bit different from what I'm used to because rice power was used here. The owner was really friendly and made sure everything tasted great. We felt so welcomed. I'd definitely come back whenever I'm in town or recommend this restaurant to anyone I know coming to Vegas. The decoration is also quite modern Thai. It's clean and it works.

    Ive been here 3 times in the past week. Food is great, portion is great, servers are attentive and knowledgeable of the menu. Oh my...

    This place is tucked away slightly deep in Chinatown, it's in the same plaza as Shibuya hot pot. This is very authentic Thai flavors. The service is great and everyone's so friendly and quick to get your orders and the food comes out quick from the kitchen. Is very adorably decorated and authentically Thai. The area is fairly small and better for smaller parties. It would be difficult to have a very big party here. There is a back section where they have different curries and stews and rice dishes available to buy to go, which is very common of how Thailand Street vendors are. There are also made to order things on the menu, including boat noodle soup, pad see ew, pad Thai and so many other things for such a small spot, It's quite a big menu.

    First Impression: The bar is a whiskey lovers dream…read more Location: off the strip, looks a bit sketchy from the outside, but inside is like stepping into a different world. Experience: We were a party of 2 and waited about 10 mins for our table. Once seated we were greeted by our server. We have been here once before and dreamt about it since. Thankfully, the food quality matched what we remembered from our first experience. We ordered a variety of dishes to share and ended taking back to our hotel. Tom yum, pad kee mao, fried rice, curry and soft shell crab. Honestly, i felt like one of your foodie youtubers with the spread on our table. Each dish was made well and with care - we enjoyed every bite we were able to eat and would recommend coming here out of any place on the strip. Note: check our their whiskey list - they have alot of options from all.

    **1 STAR -- PLEASE CLEAN UP YOUR PARKING LOT!**…read more Dear Lotus of Siam on Flamingo, **What the heck is going on with the outside of your restaurant?!** On Saturday, August 8, I drove past and honestly thought the restaurant was abandoned. I actually thought, "Did they go out of business?" On Sunday, I stopped by after work. I was surprised to see the parking lot packed -- and then I saw the condition of the lot. There was garbage piled throughout the parking lot, and a shopping-cart garbage fire had clearly been there for several days, with debris and trash still sitting on the sidewalk directly in front of your restaurant. I took photos and video because I honestly couldn't believe it. Couldn't someone from the staff or management spend an hour before opening cleaning this up? This is the first thing your customers see when they arrive! And here's the frustrating part: your food is incredible, your staff is great, and the restaurant is obviously very popular. So why does the outside look abandoned? I'm giving 1 star because I want this review to get noticed not because of the food or service. Clean up the parking lot and I will gladly change my review. You have a great restaurant. Please take care of the outside, too!

Great very personable service and honestly the flavors were great but unfortunately the quality really was a big miss!!

Server described them as coconut spots....? Sorry but I'm very visual and unfamiliar with weird white spots caused by the coconut in the curry so couldn't take another bite? Dining alone I probably ordered too much but the crab fried rice sounded too good to pass up ....But unfortunately fell short as well. Texture of the egg scrambled with the crab meat resulted in more of a fishy mush texture? Basil with ground chicken and shrimp was good but not great? Now their chicken wings....Wow!!! Perfect crunch and bite but with the sweet and spicy dipping sauce, next level!! Hoping that I preferred too much and ordered wrong items off menu so definitely will be back and try once more?

    This place does a great job on Thai curry. I know many reviews will say "the curry was good"…read morewithout any details, but let me give you the details. -They seem to use actual whole spices in the curries, you'll see flecks of coriander and lemongrass and such. I suspect they make their own curry paste. -The curry flavors are REALLY well balanced. Someone or some people with very good cooking sense are making their recipes and cooking. -Massaman curry is hard to get right, but theirs has the perfect mix of umami, tangy, sweet, salty. -Yellow curry can often be really bland and just like sweet coconut milk at other restaurants, but the yellow curry at Panna Thai is intense and chock-full of spices (you can see the spice pieces in it, probably coriander and other things) and it's one of their best curries, really excellent balanced and flavorful taste -They take care to prepare the vegetables well, and the pumpkin in the pumpkin curry has the perfect texture, the eggplant is very soft and melt-in-your mouth, I've never had bad vegetables in their curries -The coconut milk is very rich and thick and the curries are thick (not just like water) -Each curry tastes like what it's supposed to taste like and they all taste very different. I think the best taste is in the yellow curry, Massaman curry, red curry, and pumpkin curry. The curries are not oily, no layer of oil or little drops of oil, and don't seem to have seed oils in them (we asked and were told the curries are a good dish if you want to avoid seed oils) -The curries are consistently good and I've had them maybe 15x between dine-in, trying my husband's food, and delivery -- been great every time -The curry fillings are good -- chicken is tender, they include lots of vegetables, the pumpkin in the pumpkin curry is melt-in-your-mouth -They add the things that are supposed to be included in authentic curry (like Thai basil for the red curries, fish sauce, etc.) -They are accommodating to allergies and dietary preferences -They'll actually make the curry spicy if you request it, I have a high spice need/tolerance and this is one of the only places that will make it taste spicy to a level where I can feel it if I ask for their highest spice level -The jasmine rice is the best of anywhere I've eaten in Vegas -- so fresh, so bouncy/springy, high-quality rice grains, clearly handled well and rinsed prior to cooking, cooked perfectly every time I've had it. It's a big part of the experience of curry to have bouncy, high-quality jasmine rice to contrast with he creaminess of the curry, and this place does a great job with it. -The portions are large and I almost always take some home, delivery portions are pretty large, too There are only 3 Thai places in Vegas that I can say that about, and this is the only one in SW Vegas that I've found to be like this. the service is also great and you actually feel like a guest there. they have little extra touches like real candles. they do a great job with refilling water, lemon in your water, mints by the door, lots of extra touches. above-par Thai restaurant, please support them! and try the curries! I think most people would enjoy their yellow, Massaman, and pumpkin curries.
