    a plate of chinese food on a table
    Betty C.

    Walked in, just kind of sat ourselves lol. But it was pretty empty. The inside is not the best "atmosphere"/dinner feeling. Lol. Doesn't feel super welcoming. However the food was pretty good!! I am impressed lol. The lo mein was really tasty. The veggies were super super yummy. Meat was decent. Egg drop soupwas okay. They had plenty of options. Everything you'd imagine for a small buffet. Nothing extravagant.

    This is your below-average Chinese buffet. There are only two stations to choose food from, and one of them is filled with almost inedible options. The only redeeming quality of the restaurant is the price, but if you're willing to pay $17 for crunchy fried rice and gelatinous hot & sour soup , you are better off going anywhere else.

    Good service. Great egg rolls. Chicken pieces are large and cooked just right. Cashew chicken sauce is very weak.

    The food is okay, but most of it taste a little bland. Not as good as an old Mom & Pop Chinese Restaurant, but it better than none at all.

Knowing this, I was a little leery that Thai here in Branson might be kind of blah. Thai Thai had good reviews, so I decided to go with it. My wife got her usual pad Thai and I got the drunken noodles with tofu--specifically because they were described as being spicy. We also got an order of the fresh spring rolls with peanut sauce. I put in my order comments to make the noodles "Thai spicy--I mean it"... they did not disappoint! Everything was delicious. The spring rolls were fresh and larger than what I'm used to getting elsewhere. The peanut sauce was just right. More importantly, my noodles were actually spicy. Not tamed down Midwest spicy, or just kind of spicy. And honestly, as someone who frequents Thai places, they're some of the best I've had! They have plenty of vegetarian options here for those of you looking for something edible in Branson. I would definitely order from here again.

It was missing a few more ingredients. The som tum (papaya salad) was a little bland. The complimentary soup tasted like it was from an instant packet and not made from scratch. 2 stars for this Thai restaurant but there is not much to choose from. If time permits I'll try the other Thai restaurant for comparison.

The woman at the counter was SO nice and personable. I ordered cashew chicken with an egg roll and cream cheese wontons. When they brought my food, which they did make fresh and didn't just take it off the buffet, I asked for some sweet and sour sauce, specifically the red sauce used for sweet and sour chicken etc. She told be it would be an additional couple of bucks. No problem. She brought me a 1/2 pint of sauce. I returned to the hotel and we were excited to dig in. I opened up the container and found something very unusual. The chicken was breaded fried chicken in some sort of brown sauce with some chopped scallions and a bunch of cashew nuts over the top. It was a pretty small order with not a lot of chicken, but that was OK because it tasted awful. I mean it was really bad. It had a strange smell to it and was just nasty. We could not eat it. The egg roll was also bad. It had very little flavor. The cream cheese wontons were pretty good. Definitely will not be going back. I should've listened to one of the Branson Travel travel sites, which said that Branson had no good Asian food at all.

TV: timed in to kids programming and loud at any point and time. Kids: the daughter is quite enough. But the son talks out loud....saying what he's seeing on TV....non-stop....and I mean non-stop. And he is loud, fast talking....and oh, did I say loud? And this is how this place was on this visit. Read my other review, where the owner; which was our waiter one time in the past; never put the daughter down; as he took our order or served us. And the daughter was sick and a snotty nose that was snorting around like all get out! Service: They are never organized or attentive at all to the sit in customers. Tables always sit dirty. And if you eliminate the two tables...the owner's kids dominate...I think that only leaves (4) total tables to manage. And I sit there...and see multiple Door Dash orders get messed up and/or take forever. This last time, a Dasher left after waiting forever. The new owners may be nice or well intended. But...they have ruined this place...for all the wrong reasons.
