    Tom Ka Gai - spice 3
    Craig P.

    Overall: 9/10 Food: 9/10 Service: 8/10 Atmosphere: 7/10 Value: 7/10 I see the mixed reviews on this place but in my experience the food was amazing and the service was very good. I got the Tom Ka (spice 3) and Green Curry Beef (spice 3). Both were delicious and fresh. The chicken in the soup and the beef in the curry were of high quality. Something to note is their spice level 3 = hot which it is. It will make your nose run but it's not so hot that you miss out on the taste of the food. Overall, high marks for this place based on my time here.

    Finished the wraps before I remembered to take pics...it was yum!

    We were on the road traveling back to OKC and I had a craving for Asian food so we decided to try this little gem out. It's easy to get to and right off US 50. It's a cute little restaurant with Thai decorations, not huge but enough seating for about 30 people. We were seated immediately and service was quick. Our drinks and appetizer came out w/i 7 min and our main order followed approx 10 min later. We ordered the Bronco wraps which was good ( similar to PF Changs lettuce wraps). We also shared the Coconut milk soup (tom kha) and the Red curry pineapple pork which was served with Jasmine rice. The food is solid for being in the city of Pueblo. Prices were reasonable, but I loved how quick we were able to get in and out and back on the road. It satisfied my Asian craving coming down from skiing.

    I figured I would try this restaurant out. I placed an order for red curry fried rice with combination meat. I was in shock how small the portions. Not worth the price I paid for! $20.00 Be mindful if you expect to get a nice decent portion this is not the place

    Really solid Thai spot. Had a variety of classic Thai dishes and some more regionally inspired dishes as well. The mango sticky rice was excellent as were the lettuce wraps! Service was great. I also liked the fun facts on the tables about Thailand. Definitely recommend!

    Tons of vegan options, kick ass Thai. The only place we've found to eat in PW that can do vegan and non vegan menu items.

    I'm of the firm opinion that the average rating for this place is the right rating. Very confused…read moreby the 4 and 5 star reviews and somewhat understanding of the 2 star ones. It is by far not the best mongolian grill I've been to -- but I mean, there aren't that many of these things around, are there? Let's take this chronologically. I was excited to discover that this place existed as we were driving north on 25 to Denver and happened to be passing Pueblo around lunchtime. The fact that it's super accessible from the highway made it ideal. When we walked in, I almost walked out. The entire restaurant smelled like bathroom. Literally like I had walked into a bathroom. I have to assume that this is unusual. I was surprised people were actively eating. We wandered over to the food/ingredients line to see if our noses would adapt and to check out the situation. The food looked good. All the vegetables looked fresh, didn't see any wilting. The freeze-dried rolls of meat were still appropriately freeze dried and not melting into a pile of meat goo like at some places. Ok. Food - check. We got a table and came back to the food line. This place charges by size-of-bowl (I've seen some charge by weight or be AYCE) and you can tell the regulars because they KNOW how to fill a bowl. If your bowl is not overflowing to the point of nearly toppling over, you will not get back a full bowl of cooked food. I was only middling hungry so my mid-sized bowl merely heaped. I especially liked the sauce bar. Quite an extensive selection of sauces, with all the usual things plus some extras. I can imagine as a regular you could have a really good time exploring different combinations. Alas, not for me as it's unlikely we'll find our way out here again anytime soon. The food was good. The service was good. If the eating-in-a-bathroom thing weren't so distracting, I'd be saying four stars.

    First of all when you walk in there is always an odd smell. Owners stare at you but never speak to…read moreyou (unless you overfill your bowl) they usually always have a mean look and seem unapproachable. The food is pretty decent, if you know what you're doing. Some foods are fully frozen and are sometimes in ice water as well as the sauces. The food is WAYYYY OVERPRICED for food that is sometimes fresh. The chef usually always seems to step outside for a cigarette after cooking a few bowls and rarely speaks or smiles. The waitress is honestly the only sweet and approachable person there. The place is pretty run down, most of the booths are broken, there are sticky tables and the place does really smell like a bathroom. The bathrooms are pretty disgusting. It makes sense why if you come around noon during lunch it is pretty empty, but hey no wait time! Overall, the flavors are pretty good, these owners just need to work on CUSTOMER SERVICE and with those overpriced meals get some new tables and chairs and hopefully a better attitude.
