    Pineapple Fried Rice and Khao Soi
    Lisa Z.

    Didn't expect such a good restaurant to be in Lansdale! Made reservations for a Friday night with a friend and the place was bustling. We ordered the chicken satay, pineapple fried rice, and khao soi. The chicken satay was tender and we both loved the peanut sauce. I think this was a bit pricey since it's 4 small pieces. The presentation for both entrees were great, and they tasted even better. The food came out pretty fast and service was attentive. I will be back!

    Panang Curry

    Very cute little place. Parking in the lot behind the building. Free after 6pm. Get the papaya salad. Pad Thai was on the sweeter side. Drunken noodles and pad see ew were great. Panang curry was a bit salty and the mango sticky rice dessert was super sweet. $100 (with tip) for 4 people, 4 entrees, 1 app and 1 dessert.

    I came to Kub Kai for a lunch with some coworkers on a weekday. The restaurant wasn't large, so our group of 12 felt pretty large. The ambiance was pretty relaxing and the interior design was nice. The food seemed pretty delicious based on my coworkers reactions. I had the Massaman curry and it was done very well. The prices were pretty reasonable. Overall it's a great Thai restaurant to eat at and the service was attentive.

    Interior

    Loved Kub Kao! Street parking only (but is free between 12p-1p lunch hour and after 8pm I believe on weekdays). Was very surprised to find this gem in Lansdale! The interior is very aesthetic!! With light wooden tables, twinkling string lights and cute greenery. And the khao soi is top notch! Beautiful plating and with great flavor, nice chewy noodles. You can choose your choice of protein (I got chicken which was great). I also got the tom kha (coconut lemongrass soup) here which was also very delicious! Perfect without being too salty. Service was friendly, fast, and attentive. Prices were very reasonable, especially compared to other Thai restaurants in the area. Would highly recommend this spot if looking for Thai in the Philly suburbs! My fiance also tried their spin on Hainanese chicken (I never like Hainanese chicken but will say this one was very prettily plated). The khao soi and tom kha are the must gets here!

    Sweet roti
    Amy Y.

    Ordered the Kha Soi on their special menu. It's basically noodles in a curry soup. Not too spicy but enough spice. They provided more spicy oil on the side of you want to add more spice to the dish. Noodles were al dente. Lots of crunchy bits. You can add your choice of protein for a certain price. I had chicken. A squeeze of lime goes well on it. Overall loved the dish. My partner had the Massaman Curry which he also enjoyed. Sweet roti for dessert. I believe they took roti and placed it in a waffle maker. Crispy layers of roti in one bite with condensed milk and chocolate. Very yummy. Service was attentive. Atmosphere was lovely with plants, a mural painted with plants on it, elephant statues, and bunny figurines. Not too loud. A great place to eat and have a conversation with your partner. Highly recommend Kub Kao.

    the front of a restaurant

    While their space on Main Street, Lansdale, is nicely decorated Asian casual, and my interaction with the manager while waiting for my takeout was pleasant, I can't say that their kitchen is anything more than average for suburban Thai cuisine. I ordered Spring Rolls, Tom Kha Soup and Pad Kee Mao (Drunken Noodles) w Chicken, "Thai Spicy." Here's what I got - Two small Spring Rolls w tiny container of sweet dipping sauce; consumed in three bites; pretty good coconut milk based soup with plenty of chunky veggies; and large flat noodles with reasonable standard vegetables and ground chicken(!), lacking the requested heat quotient. The Pad Kee Mao completely missed the mark. The noodles were over soft, and lacking chewiness. They just gave up the ghost without a fight. I had never seen ground chicken in this dish, and it was obviously not the way to go. It lacked taste and texture so apparent when slices of chicken are used to hold flavor and add to the textural profile. I couldn't tell if it was bird or tofu, it was so nondescript. No Thai heat either. Where were the lemongrass and red chillies? Lost somewhere in translation between me, the manager and the kitchen. A total fail. Clearly many love Kub Kao, Unfortunately, it didn't do it for us. My wife (Asian) wouldn't eat the noodles after first bite, and sniffed at the spring rolls. She gave the Tom Kha a pass. Our only suggestion is for them to reevaluate the ground chicken thing and try fresh sliced poultry. Too, when people ask for heat, give it to them. Don't get caught in the "Americans don't like spicy food," game. Some of us do, and we should get what we want. Second guessing seldom is appreciated.

    Outstanding Thai... my favorite curry in MontCo (the Chou Chee). The Tom Kha soup is terrific too.

Unlike Momoyama, Noodle House uses Romain lettuce, instead of iceberg. You really need iceberg lettuce to give the soft pork/soft bao a nice contrast by adding some crunch. Also, they were on the cold side. Much better warm. Next, the ramen was delicious, with many selections. I especially liked the make your own menu, but be forewarned, the price can add up quickly, as everything on the menu is an extra charge to the $8.00 soup base. The ramen was hot, but could have been hotter. I only ate half my bowl, before it became cold. The fried rice is nothing special and pretty expensive for what it is. The spring rolls are delicious, but very, very small. Also, the liquid sauce they serve with it is more of a dumpling sauce. I would have prefered a thicker sauce. They do have a large menu of beverages, which is nice. However, $6 for two cups of hot tea is a bit much, especially with no refills. The prices are very high, compared to similar restaurants. Over $70 for lunch [for two] is pretty expensive. Whatever your bill is at other restaurants, add 40%. The ambiance of the restaurant is very juvenile- I felt like I was in a childs restaurant. Cartoons playing on a muted large screen TV, while loud rap music blared from the speakers. Anime plastered all over the walls, even a large statue of a some type of anime samurai figure greeting you as soon as you walk in. They even have a talking robot to deliver your food. If I had children with me, I'm sure they would have loved it. Definitely not a place for a quiet or romantic meal. All in all, good food, childish ambiance, high prices.

    I've been underwhelmed for years with the Chinese food near my house in Doylestown, so I drove 15…read moremin to try Amber Asian based on good Yelp reviews, and I agree- very good meal! I ordered takeout...on July 4th! bc it was @ 95 degrees, beyond my comfort level to grill. I placed my order in person bc I ask most places to use my de-seeded hot dried peppers so that I can enjoy hot Gen Tso chicken yet not get intestinal issues from hot indigestible seeds. ( fussy, I know, but I love the scorched taste of those peppers that's irreplaceable). I explained this to Wendy, the kind woman who's probably the owner bc 2 kids were hanging out occupying themselves, and she said no problem. Wife's chicken with veggies ( but hold the mushrooms) was reported to be excellent: unbreaded chicken, al dente vegetables. " best she's ever had". Brown rice was available, no problem, tasted great, no upcharge. My Gen Tso was also very good, plenty of broccoli but also pineapple, new one to me but was nice to balance the heat. Only suggestion would be to increase the sauces bc each coated our chicken sufficiently but none extra. ( and it was so good I wanted more!) I will return here to try more things! Thank you, Wendy!

    What a great little spot…read more I like stopping in here for lunch to sit down eat. I feel they use high-quality ingredients so fresh is the best way to go. It's not that big of a place so the services available whenever you need anything. And they do a good job of checking in on you.
