A random Saturday and was craving some Thai food. Decided to come here since it's been awhile, we've been coming here since 2016, still good til this day. Over the years I noticed there might have been different owners. Such a small, cute, quiet, and cozy place. When you come in, you get greeted and seated quickly. Food is fresh and hot. The family and I ordered the Satay Chicken, Egg Rolls, Chicken Pad Thai, Thai Fried Rice, Beef Drunken Noodles, Coconut Juice and Thai Iced Coffee. We usually do take out here, and food would be ready quickly. But the day we went here it took a little longer than expected. We were the only ones there until 4 other families came in to eat as well. Understandable for the wait time and how there was only 1-2 workers at the time.

Came here on Saturday night for dinner and glad it was open. It's a small cozy little restaurant and decorated well. There's only one server, so please be kind a patient. Glad to see there were a few other guests seated and to-go orders ready. Growing up on Thai food, I'm particular. I loved the gravy noodle because not every Thai restaurant serves it. The only downside and reason for 4 stars is that they used American broccoli instead of the traditional Chinese broccoli. The fried banana dessert was also a slightly different texture, but still delicious. Only downside was they had vanilla ice cream instead of traditional coconut ice cream. But I love coming here for an inexpensive lunch or dinner!

We LOVE this place! We come in every time we are in area - about once a month. First, the service is exceptional. The food is always hot and SO good. Be sure to ask for it spicy if you like spicy. The curry is our favorite and full of flavor. I get the yellow curry with chicken. My husband gets the green curry. The portions are a good size and reasonably priced. It is a quaint, hole in the wall, neighborhood place that can get crowded. It is very clean. You won't be disappointed!

Quite mediocre Thai food. Thin watery light on flavor pa nang curry. Way too many carrots in both the pa nang curry and pad see ew. Just overall not very good unfortunately.

First time here. Cute little small restaurant. The lady that served us was very polite. Didn't take long for our food to arrive. Everything was delicious. I just wished my papaya salad was spicer ( husband's fault, he cant handle spice) I will definitely be returning to try other items on the menu.

I came in on a Wednesday after work, place was quiet, and there was only one person working the counter. Even so, my food came out pretty quickly. I ordered the red curry with tofu, a side of white rice and spring rolls with tofu. My total was was 28$. The spring rolls were made of shredded lettuce, carrots, and about four pieces of fried tofu, they were huge, but flavorless would not order again. No herbs either cilantro / mint ect. Came with a sauce I did not eat. Tasted like old peanut sauce. Rice was low quality and not good. Felt dry and old. The curry was on the sweeter side even though I ordered it spicy. Very runny would not order again.

So I have a hard time rating this because I've gone before during the pandemic, and the drunken noodles here aren't bad. They're about average with places I've been to, but today's visit was a little disheartening. I got the mango curry with chicken, and lets just say it was probably more like mango chicken. The taste of curry escaped this dish. I think the mango was over ripe or something, but there was also a fact of there was NO lack of mango in this dish. It was pretty much swimming in mango juice with a splash of curry. I understand this is mango curry, but it really just turned into mango. The carrots tasted like mango. The bell peppers tasted like curry. The chicken tasted like a mango with a chicken texture. I like mango, but this was just too much. If you go, I think go for the noodles. But as for this curry, I won't be getting it again.

Unfortunately our first visit here was not the greatest. We ordered green curry, papaya salad, and thai hot wings. The wings were good, a solid 4/5. The curry and papaya salad left much to be desired unfortunately. The curry was basically a watery soup and the papaya salad was missing ingredients listed in it's description. We may give this place another chance, but would only get the wings again.

This place must be hit or miss. Based on the reviews. Some are good and bad.... My curry was not curry, it's definitely a soup. The praram chicken - the sauce is watery. This doesn't feel authentic. I hate to leave reviews like this, but you don't want to spend your hard earned money on disappointing Thai food. read more

I called on Sunday for take out. I arrived to an empty restaurant. We ordered shrimp pad thai and chicken fried rice as well as chicken satay. This place is close to us in the Bel Air shopping center passing the gym and next to Quick Quack carwash. Im sorry to say the rice was lacking and had huge pieces of broccoli under the rice and very little chicken. It was dry and kinda burnt. The chicken satay was ok. The shrimp pad thai was the biggest let down. No flavor at all just bland noodles. It was too bad because they did give plenty of shrimp but no chili sauce and/or alfalfa sprouts but lots of shredded carrots and tiny portion of peanuts. Sad this wont be a place I go back to. Pricing was also great just not the flavors. :/ read more

Came here today as I was in the area and this was one of my only options because I had very limited time to grab something to eat. I ordered the pad Thai, and let me tell you, this was the most disgusting chicken pad Thai I have ever eaten. I guess I should have read the reviews and the 3.5 stars this place has, but like I said, I was in a hurry with limited time and limited options. The chicken had absolutely no flavor and the noodles itself had a very very weird flavor and nothing like I've ever tasted before when ordering pad Thai which is my favorite and only dish I order at Thai restaurants. The lady was very nice, but man I took two bites and threw it out. Very unfortunate. read more

This review has me torn as I see how hard working the woman was who was helping me. Looks like she was the owner and had been doing all of the work on her own. I came in on a random wed night and my pregnant wife was craving Thai food. The service was fast. Upon walking in I will say it is a smaller dining room as it looked like I just arrived after a rush as the tables were dirty and still had dishes on them. She was the only person in the restaurant and gave me the aunty vibe as she greeted us. Food: 6/10 Portion: 5/10 Price: 5/10 Service: 8/10 Our preferred Elk Grove Thai is KB Thai but this was the next open and closest option to us. Would we go out of our way to come back? Probably not, however we would be open to potentially give it another shot in the near future. read more

After spotting this place a few months ago, I finally decided to try it since I was in the area for a Yelp event at a nearby boba shop; the food is good and is a good value with 2 of my dishes priced at $8.99. The woman who helped us was super nice and it took about 15-20 minutes to prepare 3 dishes, with each having enough food for multiple meals. The only thing I'd change is I'd prefer a bit more chicken in the Pad Thai, after seeing a lot of noodles and not much meat but the flavor and portion was good. This place is on the very far right end of the Bel Air shopping center. Worth a stop! read more

It's a small joint with limited seating, maybe about 7 tables that can fit 2-4 people, usually quiet. I normally order to go and have only ate in once prior to the pandemic. The offerings here are traditional Thai dishes. While some of the reviews indicate the food is hit or miss, my go-to are the red and yellow curries and I've never been disappointed with them. I cant offer an opinion on other dishes at this time but may try something else next time I order. read more

First visit here was a success! After working out @ 24 Hr. Fitness next door, decided to skip on cooking & try a new restaurant. Thai food tends to have the same menu items for vegans, but the customer service/quality/flavor is what sets each apart. Ordered. . . Pad Thai: Very delicious. Seasoned well, not spicy, freshly served. Yellow Curry: Potatoes were AMAZING. Everything was fresh, delicious, and portioned well. Fresh spring rolls: These were very 'refreshing' NO mint (which don't like anyway) just veggies + tofu. Thai iced tea: Made with coconut milk. Perfect amount of ice. Fried Bananas: These were a little more fried than expected. Usually fried bananas have more of a glaze, but still cooked well, tasted great. Service was quick, food hit the spot, conveniently located, prices were great, and the server kept emphasizing: "everything is made fresh to order. any restrictions, just let me know" --- this is HUGE because I have a mushroom allergy, so to be able to know that each dish (appetizer, entree, dessert) will not disappoint is a *win* Thank you, Simply Thai. read more

I tried this place back when it first opened 5 or 6 years ago and until just now haven't gone back. I wasn't reviewing back then, but would have given it a 1 star review. The food wasn't very good and the service was terrible. This place is very close to our home as is the Sabaidee Thai Grille. When I walked in the Woman ask me what I wanted? What? It's a restaurant so I am there for food. Hello! I ordered Fried Rice with pork. When I said water to drink please she kind of frowned at me. It came out quickly as I was the only person in there. When I saw that I probably should have turned around and walked out. It's 12:30 and I am the only one in the place? What's wrong with this picture? Anyway the rice did look good and the portion was right for the $6.95 price. I ask if I could get a small side dish of chopped fresh chilis in fish sauce please? She didn't answer and came back with a small condiment tray. It had Chinese hot sauce, chili oil, dried chili flakes, and soy sauce. No chopped chilis in fish sauce. I used the chili oil, but it wasn't what I ask her for. The fried rice was OK at best. When I paid my bill I saw a sign that said an extra $.25 for fresh chilis. I ask if I could get those chilis with fish sauce. She showed me the bill I had just paid and I think said "no charge." I said no for the next time I come in and she said no fish sauce. I give up and there will never be a next time either. read more

The name of the restaurant is partially correct. However it should be " Simply The Worst Thai" restaurant. I've been eating Thai food for over 40 years and this was barely edible. Absolutely no flavor!!!! Not a hint of spices or tamarind. Not to mention the small portion. Tell tell sign for me should have been; no customers, 1 employee, and the phone didn't ring and it's dinner time. I'll chalk my 24.00 as a donation as I had to throw the remaining food away. Keep your $$ and go else where. read more

My friend and I both got one of the red curry options and both were quite tasty. I am more familiar with their mild yellow curry offering and have a difficult time with foods that are too spicy. It was plainly stated that the red curry had more heat, but I decided to try it anyway. So it was my fault that I was quickly reaching for my water after the first bite. The waiter soon checked in with us and I explained that the dish was delicious, but a little spicy for my palate. He suggested that he could have the cook fix it by adding a bit more coconut milk, and as quick as a wink, had my dish "fixed" and returned to me. I definitely recommend this restaurant. The food and service are excellent. Ambiance is quaint. Hint: The indoor seating is limited, so I recommend making reservations if going on a weekend. read more

The servers were very attentive and kind; it was Monday night, and not extremely busy which helped. They boxed my food for me as well, customer service was even better than my first visit! ~~ Original review: An authentic Thai restaurant that is a true pleasure for your taste buds. I had the Thai iced tea with the roasted duck panang duck curry. A unique dish that I haven't seen at other Thai restaurants; the portion was plentiful and the duck was tender, flavorful and yummy. The curry didn't overpower the duck, and it wasn't soggy. The spice level was perfect. Spicy enough for a kick, but you can taste the medley of flavors. I really enjoyed the pineapple in this dish, it complemented everything else perfectly. The thickness of the curry was on point. 10/10 The Thai iced tea was balanced well; sweet, but a strong tea flavor. However, there were small bits of tea at the bottom. Otherwise, it was perfect. 9/10 My coworkers had the yellow chicken curry & chicken lettuce wraps. Service: Good customer service, they checked on us a couple of times even though it started to get busy. The tattooed server was handsome. 10/10 Ambiance: A casual hole in the wall vibe where you can hear the chefs yelling from the back. Gold wall art that makes you feel like you feel like you're in Thailand. Parking: Parking lot with plenty of parking at 6pm on a Tuesday. I would definitely return any time I'm in NorCal.

I saw they had Nam Kao Tod on the menu. I came here for that item and the fried chicken skins because you don't see those two items everywhere and I love both. The flavor of the Nam Kao Tod was spot on, however, it was not crispy. The dish is supposed to have crispy rice. I was quite disappointed. With crispy rice, the dish would have been a 10/10, but as is, I would not order it again, maybe only a 6/10. The Fried Chicken Skins were a solid 10/10. It came with a dipping sauce but the sauce wasn't for me. I preferred the chicken skins without the sauce. It already had good flavor. Perfectly fried and not oily. 10/10 Pad See Ew was good but pretty standard. Nothing out of the ordinary. But still solid. 8/10. There is a lot of parking available so that is a "plus".

My friend and I tired the Pho Lao today. It's kind of similar to kathiew. It's really good here, I usually add a ton of chili oil. They ask you beforehand if you're okay with shrimp or not which I really appreciated. And of course, their also papaya salad is my go-to. I love that they include cabbage and vermicelli noodles with the order. A lot of other places don't include it/ charge extra. This place will always be a go-to for me.

Whenever I am craving some Thai food and don't want to drive far, I head straight to KB's Thai Hut!…read moreThe food there is consistent and my orders are always ready on time for me to pick them up. The restaurant is located in a small plaza close to my house, which makes it really convenient to visit. When entering, you're greeted by welcoming staff and a short wait time as it's not always too busy there all the time. It is also small inside the restaurant, but that adds to the comforting feeling it gives off. My favorite item on the menu is the drunken noodles with chicken, and I usually pick 3 out of 5 for my spice level. I like that they allow you to choose how spicy you want your food because they are considerate of all spice tolerance levels. If I'm not ordering the drunken noodles, I'm getting the Pad Thai with chicken! I usually place orders over the phone as I tend to get KB's with my family, and they prepare the order so quickly. From my sister's house to the restaurant, it's about 6-7 minutes. After placing my order, it's usually done in 10-15 minutes which is really fast for 3-4 items at a time! Whether you're in the mood for eating out or ordering for pickup, KB's Thai Hut is a great choice for Thai food! I've been coming here consistently for a few years and they do not disappoint! I'd definitely recommend the drunken noodles with chicken and their Lao style papaya salad!

Chicken is not flavored but they give a dipping sauce that is only mildly spicy, so won't be a problem for those that can't tolerate spicy food 2. Chicken Rice & Soup: 9.5/10 - basically the same as the classic gai but with the rice and chicken mixed in the big bowl of soup. Got it for my grandma as it is perfect for the elderly who need soft foods Definitely coming back again and again, what a neighborhood gem!

The Tom Kha with seafood is fantastic and I like this better than the Tom Yum (which is a bit too sweet for my taste). Chicken Satay was smoky and tender with a generous portion of chicken on each skewer. Ancient Pad Thai really surprised me - it has the essence of regular pad thai but more umami with interesting depth of flavor. I highly recommend this one! Pad Ped (Salmon) was also very good but best enjoyed fresh from the kitchen. Lightly battered cubes of salmon tossed in a red curry stir fry with veggies - so delicious! Pretty sure anything you order here will be good. Other noteworthy dishes are the papaya salad and (any) fried rice. I have yet to try any of the noodle soups but maybe I'll try that next!

The sauce in the skillet was not too heavy or sweet. It had a nice balanced flavor. All the different foods that came on the skillet were good. The meatball was a tad sweet for me. The baguette was warm and crispy. So good. Very good dish and one of the better ones I've had. Grilled rib eye rice combo: 5/5. I could be wrong, but I thought the beef had a slight lemongrass flavor that I love. The meat was tender. We got the garlic rice with it and it definitely elevates the flavors. Would recommend trying it with the garlic rice Egg rolls: 5/5. Came out nice and hot and crispy. The flavor is on the lighter side, but I thought it was flavorful enough. It also comes with fish sauce to dip in for more flavor and it was really good with that as well. Our boys love egg rolls and they approved. lol Kids noodle soup/pho: 4/5. Generous portion for the kids to share. They keep it simple for the kids. Just rice noodles and sliced beef. You can also add on meatballs, but we didn't since our boys don't always eat the meatballs. The pho broth was decent. The boys enjoyed it. I don't know if I would get a big bowl for myself.

We explained to the Server the error and she apologized, said the bill will be corrected. Upon the Server's return, she said she was sorry and informed us we ordered the Caesar, not the regular $5 salad. Really? Instead of correcting their mistake, we now found ourselves having to explain to the Server, twice what actually happened while she took our order, I pointed out to their menu and I said "we wanted to add the $5.00 salad". That was it! We never asked for the Caesar, and specially a "half-order". The Server emphatically refused to correct the mistake. Obviously her decision would have never be my choice, had I been the Server, or the owner of the restaurant. We hate giving bad reviews, but being unnecessarily placed in this awkward position we did not appreciate it.

I recently tried Simply Thai, and honestly, I was left underwhelmed. Let me break it down: Portion Sizes: The portions were shockingly small. I ordered beef laab, yum woo sen, green curry, and boat noodles, and I was still hungry afterward. Beef Laab: * They don't offer medium rare beef. * The portion was palm-sized--just one small size. Boat Noodles: * No basil, cilantro, or green onions to enhance the dish. * The broth was extremely bland. * No chili oil available, and their fish sauce is pre-mixed with Thai chili, but it wasn't spicy at all. Yum Woo Sen: The flavor was bland, and the portion was tiny. It felt unbalanced since there was more lettuce than noodles. Green Curry: Just okay--not the worst, but definitely not the best. It lacked depth and flavor. Sticky Rice: This was the most surprising. The portion was barely a spoonful, which was shocking. Overall: The place is clean and quiet, which is a plus. However, if you're a spice lover or searching for authentic Thai flavors, this place will likely leave you disappointed. read more

Wow, what can I say. At first when i came in it looked like a little nice place to have dinner. We ordered yellow curry and chow mein for the kids and a couple of appetizers. Let me tell you. The orders are so small for the price. $8.95 for chow mein for one person. Freakin rip off!! All our order is like it was serve on a kids menu. WE immediately notice how all the orders were so little. But the reason why im here reviewing is the yellow curry. It was the most saltiest plate i have ever eaten. The next morning i still have the salt taste in my mouth.I can litterally feel my viens about to burst. My wife didn't want to complain so i didn't. We would just never come back. This is our first time eating here and we walked out the door and said we would rather eat Mcdonald's. Nice environment but horrible serving size, food and Price..! read more

Horrible food, horrible service. I came in on a Saturday night and there was only 1 couple. I had a zbest coupon (buy one entree, get one). Lady didn't want to honor the coupon and I almost walked out. A few Asian restaurants offer deals but never want to honor them. This place is the worst at not honoring their deals! Papaya salad was just papaya with fish sauce dressing. Pad Thai was overlooked and had no flavor. Never coming back again! read more
