    Pad Thai Chicken Sataychicken
    Emma J.

    Not flavorful. Pad thai was bland barely any flavor, just spicy (which is good, but not without flavor). Chicken satay was cooked well but still lacked flavor -- the sauces were bad. Peanut sauce way too thick and generic canned tasting. Vinegar sauce was legit just vinegar no complexity. Disappointing.

    UPDATE - Love this place and it's always a pleasure to come here. We ordered the appetizer combo with comes with 4 dipping sauces, the satay alone was worth it. We also had the pad kee mao and the freestyle fried fish. Both were outstanding. Huge portions, great service and competitive prices in a simple but elegant atmosphere. Highly recommended.

    Delicious as always with amazing service! The restaurant is clean, casual, but definitely nice. We always feel welcome.

    Went here for lunch and loved it. We tried the red curry, green curry, and the KC Treasure Bags -- all really flavorful and just the right portion size for lunch. Service was quick and friendly, and the restaurant was spotless. Perfect spot if you want a tasty Thai meal that doesn't take up your whole lunch hour. Definitely coming back.

    KC thai is one of th best Thai restaurants in KC. They are also very accommodating to people who need gluten free! Staff is also wonderful! Lots of parking. 5 stars delicious! Green curry was the favorite!

    A friend asked me to meet her here for lunch. She comes often and knows I enjoy Thai food. I ordered chicken pad Thai, the lunch sized portion was $12.95 and was enough to make a meal without leftovers. I asked for medium and it was pleasantly spicy. Fresh, hot, well sauced, I was very satisfied! I would have liked to be able to pay a few dollars to add a cup of soup, or a side salad. My friend chose the appetizer platter which I think was about $15. It wasn't enough to make a meal of, but would be a nice sampler for two as a dinner date appetizer. The presentation was beautiful. Service was attentive and out water never ran dry.

    Crispy wings, Thai sausage, & nam khao tod. Deliciousness. Good and friendly staff. Everything was very good.

    A great place for dinners - called ahead and made a reservation for 6 which was a good thing since they were almost full on a Wednesday night. FYI - gratuity is automatically 22% for a party of 6+ which seemed a little high. Dinner was yummy - heard this restaurant is owned by the same ownership as Bamboo Penny - a well loved spot in Leawood.

    Pleased with the family's recent trip to KC Thai. I ordered the yellow curry with vegetables and was pleasantly surprised with the amount of veggies - not only was there plenty of potatoes, carrots, and onion (the vegetables that normally come with the dish) but there was also broccoli, cauliflower, bok choy, and cabbage. (At a lot of places when I order veggies, instead of meat or tofu, it's hard to tell a difference between what I would have gotten otherwise). We also ordered the Mango Sticky Rice. It's been almost a decade since I had this in Thailand, and it's even better than I remember. Good stuff.

    Great Thai spot in the kc metro area. Plenty of options to choose from. The food comes out quick and hot, even with a full house. The service is amazing, staff checked in regularly. My water never saw anything below half full. Great seating Pictured is stir fry garlic lover with tofu and pad Thai with tofu. Vegan & vegetarian friendly.

    Large portions so you might want to share. We had 2 appetizers and each had a pho bowl. Way too much to eat. The atmosphere is lively.

    Big Jim, here's a polished version that keeps the review balanced, plenty of positives, while being…read morespecific about the steak without letting it dominate the experience. We were looking to try a new restaurant for our Saturday outing and decided on Bamboo Penny's. From the moment we walked in, it was clear that a lot of effort went into making the dining room and bar area fun, attractive, and inviting. Although we were being seated at a two-top, we noticed the bar was wide open and decided to dine there instead. Great choice. The bartenders were engaging, attentive, and very helpful in walking us through the menu. We started with Penny's Combo Fresh Spring Rolls, Thai Spicy Sausage, Penny's Rangoon, and Crispy Egg Rolls. This was a great way to sample several appetizers, and everything was delicious. My partner ordered the Salmon Panang Curry and really enjoyed it. The salmon was cooked just right, the curry had great flavor, and the broccoli paired nicely with the dish. I went with the Tiger Cry Steak, which was a little more hit-and-miss. The Tiger Cry sauce brought plenty of heat along with some really interesting flavors. The glazed carrots were excellent, perfectly glazed with just the right tenderness. Unfortunately, the mashed potatoes were over-whipped, giving them a gummy texture. The biggest disappointment was the steak itself. The quality wasn't what I expected, the steak appeared to be a few ounces short of the advertised 12 ounces, and on its own it lacked seasoning and flavor. The intramuscular fat was also quite chewy, making portions of the steak difficult to cut and eat. That said, one disappointing entrée wouldn't keep me from returning. We really enjoyed the atmosphere, service, appetizers, and Salmon Panang Curry. Bamboo Penny's has plenty on the menu I'd like to come back and try....I'll probably just stick with the non-beef options next time. I think this lands around a 4-star review: clearly a good overall experience with one legitimate miss.

    I don't know why we haven't dined here in a while as we love Thai food and our sampler appetizer…read moreand meals were very tasty. We will do a better job of remembering to get Thai food here; especially since it is so convenient to our home. We chose to dine in instead of take out to have that fresh from the oven taste and it didn't disappoint. We thought all the appetizers on the sampler were excellent and filled us up a bit, but that was ok as we hoped to have leftovers the next night for dinner - which we did! I got the Red Curry with chicken and unlike other places there was plenty of perfectly cooked chicken. My husband got the Gapow with beef and my sister-in-law got Gapow with chicken. My husband and I kept eating from each other's entrees as both were desired. The staff were welcoming and with the right timing for attention to our dining experience. If you like Thai Food, I hope you'll come here. They've been around for quite a while and that is a strong testament to their restaurant and food.

We were seated then we order but during the wait the rain stop so we decided to make it to go , pick our stuff and comeback to get our order. So when we get home we reheat everything. But pad thai was totally taste off and beef kinda dry. I normally like the brown sauce pad thai but occasionally did get to the place with red sauce pad thai. But to me this pad thai is just not to my liking. Then the coconut chicken soup it's was so sour and so watery did not taste like coconut and chicken meat also dry. Gave 3* because service was good.
