    Egg fried rice
    Jansher D.

    A bit disappointed - I made a carry out order. I got the Panang curry, Pad Thai, and Pad Kee Mow. Panang curry - The flavor was overwhelmingly peanut buttery with an extremely thick consistency. It was so potent that I could barely taste anything else and ended up diluting it at home with some milk. Pad Thai - Unfortunately, this was bland and overly salty. It lacked the usual balance of tangy, sweet, and savory flavors. Pad Kee Mow - This was the standout dish. It had great flavor and was well-executed. As for the ambience, it's your typical family-style Thai restaurant--not bad, just standard.

    Food was amazing. I was able to customize my Pad Thia. It was enough to easily feed 2 people. Customer service was great , it was just me and a friend in but it picked up as we were leaving. The host was easy to talk to and give suggestions. We also ordered chicken curry medium spice well definitely help if you have a cold. They played video of thia street food and even that looked great.

    Sweet Sticky Rice Mango
    Valery R.

    I love the food here it is so affordable and yummy. Me and boyfriend go here so often and it never disappoints. They have the best mango sticky rice , best fried rice and best pho we have had. The people here are super nice and our food usually comes out super fast! The restaurant is always so clean even when it's busy.

    You MUST find this place! So good!

    Small business is the heart of strong economies and nothing primes that pump like specialty foods. Everyone has a favorite spot for their favorite cuisine and the majority of the time, that fave is a small biz. Thai Chili Cuisine is tucked into a small strip of businesses just off 87th in Lenexa, so don't miss it. The dining area is small but not cramped, clean and inviting. The menu is sprinkled with some common options (krapow gai, pad thai, pad see ew) and plenty of specialty items. I love their pad thai with chicken added, served with medium spice, and it is FULL of flavor and heat. With scallions, fresh cilantro, and crushed peanuts, this is a bowl of happiness. I'd also recommend their tiger cry beef appetizer, slices of sirloin served with a sweet & spicy sauce. It's probably enough to serve as a lunch portion for yourself, but better to share and enjoy. All of their lunch plate options come with a choice of side salad or soup, and the hot & sour soup is excellent! Service is quick and very friendly, with business owners almost always in the restaurant, so you know they're active in serving their best food and building that repeat customer base. Thai Chili may not be the easiest to find, but once you do, I can guarantee you'll be back.

    Dumpling
    Rusted S.

    Picked up to-go food, nice strip mall restaurant. Clean, greeted quickly. Ordered the Pad Thai with chicken and Yellow Sen Mee noodle combo. We also were given a choice of appetizer with order, chose dumplings. Everything was satisfying, taste on point, spices levels as asked. Dumplings were pretty good. If back in the area I will stop again.

    I was initially impressed with this new Thai spot off of 87th street. Owned by a couple who met in Thailand, the husband helped his wife realize her dream of opening a Thai restaurant. The pad Kee mao was flavorful, if a little on the smaller side for portion size. On second visit, I was confused to have celery, carrots, and cauliflower included in a pad see ew, which is not authentic. Hope this changes. The crispy tofu appetizer was just average. Service was also curt and unfriendly the second time, possibly because only one person was in charge of a full dining room.

    Sweet and sour soup
    Elena M.

    Food is delicious! The staff is friendly! Today we went out with to celebrate my friends birthday. We tried a bunch of different dishes. The owners came out to speak with us and did a great job table touching. My friend is from Thailand and this is her go to place. She ordered off the menu items and we loved them. They do the chili levels depending on your taste. The vibe is super casual. We seriously can't wait to come back here.

    Green Curry Dinner
    Alex P.

    Second time coming in, and was super blown away. I am normally a panang curry gal but I wanted to branch out (a bit). The curry was awesome and flavorful. The mild green curry still has some kick but I am a wimp when it comes to spicy. The other dishes we had were awesome. We need to come back

    Pork Lad Nah Dinner
    Emily S.

    Food was so perfect! Truly flavor in everything and portion size was perfect! Staff (i believe the owner) was so kind and brought all food out with perfect time. We are out of town and would recommend any future travelers and locals to this place!

    Pork Belly Gaprow
    Adam S.

    I had a great experience at my recent visit to Thai Chili Cuisine. The restaurant is small, but nicely decorated, clean, and bright. I decided to try the pork belly gaprow, and it was amazing. It is one of those dishes I know I will crave and come back for time and time again. The dish was really nicely seasoned, and I got mine medium. It had a fair amount of kick to it, but was reasonable for my palette. If you are in doubt, ask for a mild and the spice tray. Then you can add your own spice. The service was fast and friendly, and at the end of the meal the owner came out and thanked us for coming on such a cold and snowy night. I will definitely be back to try more dishes!

    Chicken Laab Salad - Mmm!
    Steve D.

    I enjoyed the delicious salad, the reasonable prices, the good portions, the first-rate service and the inviting atmosphere during my opening week dine-in early lunch. The chicken laab salad ($10.95) was served just nine minutes after I ordered at the table. It was nicely sized with fresh veggies and plenty of very flavorful chicken. I requested a medium spice level and that was just right - very spicy, but not overwhelming. You can also use available spices to add heat to your own dish. I liked the clean, warm and inviting dining area with contemporary instrumental background music and found the service (which was still getting up to speed) to be polite, professional and attentive with a genuine interest in feedback. The menu included salad, rice, noodle, curry, stir-fry and pho dishes. Very nice!

    Panang curry with beef
    Alix A.

    Check this spot out with my parents this week and we had a GREAT meal. Ambiance was very cheerful and it was very clean. I suspect they'll be building a vestibule soon because WOW the air from outside hits the whole space. My parents were already there when I arrived. Service was prompt and we put our orders in right away. We started with the Hello Salao Wings - they were super yummy. A nice mix of savory and sweet. For entrees, I got my go-to Panang Curry with beef (yummy and mild was the right heat level for me), my mom got the pad woon sen with tofu, and dad got the grapow pork belly. They both loved their food. The pork belly was definitely the highlight for me. We ended with the mango sticky rice. Unfortunately the mango wasn't the best but we're out of season. It'll be great with a great mango. Highly recommend!

    So like Joe K said, it's great to see more Korean chicken places in the Kansas City area. (S)KFC is…read moreamazing - the crispness of the chicken, the fantastic sauces. It's special. I'm excited just thinking about it. But oh man was I hoping for better. And I think this place could get there, if they can change some things. Joyce and Brandy laid it out well, so I'll just echo some main points: - The food could be better. Apparently it has been before. What I saw felt pretty low effort, the crispiness wasn't there. (South) Korean Fried Chicken is amazing because even with those delicious sauces, the chicken stays crispy. Best of both worlds! These wings were soggy. I didn't feel great after eating the meal. It wasn't ideal. - The service was nonexistent. I came up to the human at the counter, who directed me not to talk to her but to put in my order on the screen to the side. I hate these. I hate them so much. The UX on the terminal was clunky, the navigation in particular was so bad that there were whole sections of the menu that seemed to be missing. I now know to swipe left on the headers to scroll right to a second page of root-level categories, but be honest, just reading that in a sentence is confusing and annoying. Some people may like kiosks. That's fine! But mandating them is awkward and obnoxious. - I'm still on the service. There's a big menu. There are paper menus. There are little signs advertising fun looking items. I already know what I want. It is so much easier and more enjoyable to order with a real human and get their help. Why put the added friction of learning a clunky interface? An employee would be fluent in the system even if it's bad. And if my case is any indication, it's not helping their sales. I would totally have ordered more dishes if I'd known that was an option. It just looked like they were out so it wasn't available. - After putting in the order, I was prompted for a tip for the service. Which just felt like a coup de grace to my psyche. - It felt like there was no heart here. That's probably an ownership issue. I'm sympathetic to a point, it's not easy in general and there's a lot of pressure to cut costs (especially with the tariff arsonist disrupting supply chains). But the vibe here was dismal, you could feel it in the food and the staff. The space itself seems set up well to have large groups and good times. Could be a fun spot. But right now, the impression I get is that aside from the wings the kitchen does a lot of prepackaged instant food. So I'm not sure what they're trying to be - a decent wing place, or more of a fast-food/gas station type of spot. A vending machine with a deep fryer. Like I said before, this place has potential to be great if they can change some things. They're just going to have to want to. I'm rooting for them.

    One thing that I love about this place is that they have a kiosk to order from. I love being able…read moreto scroll through a menu, especially when it's a new place with a lot to choose from. I found that very convenient and much more relaxed than ordering at a counter with a line behind you. We ordered the wing portion of Soy Garlic Chicken and Pork Dumplings. I have never had wings like this before. They were breaded, and just the right amount of saucy. I liked having disposable gloves as an option to handle them, that is a game changer for me. They were very sweet, which I am not the biggest fan of. They did have a decent amount of heat, which I was warned about from other reviews. It was the perfect level of heat for me, I don't know if I would try their spicy version. I thought the Pork Dumplings were the star of the meal. They were large in size and cooked perfectly. They had just the right amount of crunch and filling. The sauce that came with it was also on the sweeter side.

    Took family there for my grandson's birthday. Loved the theme…read more Started off with happy hour appetizers......tater kegs and two orders of fried pickles, our kids favorite. Tater kegs were good, taste and size-wise. But we wound up hardly eating much of the fried pickles. They were drowned in salt, so much so even the ranch couldn't compensate or cover it up. My wife got the unlimited wings. She tried three different flavor of wings, all very salty to the taste. Sweet Chili, the Popping Pineapple and the Teriyaki. And the teriyaki really didn't taste like teriyaki at all. My daughter had the veggie burger, and she said it was very salty. I ordered the deviled eggs and the jalapeno creamed corn. The deviled eggs were good; filling was a little runnier than I usually like in a deviled egg. The jalapeno creamed corn had some good spice, but another dish that had entirely too much salt in it. When my wife and first got there to get the table for our party, the host asked if we had the app. We did not, he instructed us how to download it, and told us we'd be getting an email for a free burger. He also told us about the 20% off "Vintage" discount for seniors, of which I am one. At the end of our meal, the server (who was really cool, by the way) gave us our bill, which totalled with tax $165 plus some change. I told him I was a senior and wanted the vintage discount. He brought in iPad over, entered a couple things and brought us a new bill. I glanced at it and it said $163 and some change. So I walked after him and asked him if I paid up front and that's where they gave the discount. He said no you pay me and I did give you the discount. Sure enough, on the receipt, it was saying vintage discount......$2.60. Now I use math in my head every day for work as an air traffic controller, so it didn't take me long to figure out $2.60 is WAY BELOW 20% off of $165. I was looking for some fine print somewhere that might explain this particular math conundrum. Couldn't find anything. I was going to find our server or a manager, but the family was ready to go, and since it was a birthday my wife didn't want me to make an issue of it, so we left. Not happy with the liberal usage of salt in everything, and with today's prices, especially not happy with the issue with the discount that was about 18% short. Probably won't be back.
