I love this place! I finally tried other items besides the Pad Thai and am very happy. I would have never know what to order if the staff didn't help me. I'm glad I asked. read more

I'm not even sure where to being with this place. I heard such good things, and the expectation did not live up to it. We ordered 4 meals to go. The fried rice was bland and flavorless. The green curry was a very watered down, but it had good flavors, our other rice dish was good. What i'm very upset about is was our pad see ew, in why world is this pad see ew?! It was so DRY, i mean dry, there was no sauce on the bottom at all or even in the dish. Flavorless and dry, such disappointment at this place, and the noodles?! I'm not sure if was store bought or what but we're use to thicker noodles. read more

First time eating Thai- very good. Got a spicy level 10, not the spiciest I've ever had, but still very tasty.

This is a hidden treasure that I hope for my sake stays hidden. Upon appearance we didn't want to eat there, could use some updating/cleaning. However, the aroma kept us there. The Pad Thai is some of the best I ever had, next to the Veggie Curry. On hot days we ride out bike here just to pick up an Iced Thai Tea...so good! It's family owned and literally just the family works there. Mom/wife is the brilliant chef, husband and daughter are the front of the house. This place makes magic. read more

Choo Che dish was excellent. Service friendly and made it an event to take my two kids out for dinner. T We even tried the durian dessert. It was delicious and the famous odor was present enough to give us a whiff but not overpowering- the fruit was deliciously sweet and exotic. Mind the warnings on the spice scale. I usually order everything extra spicy. I recommend 7-8 here. The place seats 12 and does carryout. read more

The food was OK. It just wasn't what I was expecting. I got the green curry and the only real flavor was the spice, not the sweet coconut you expect. I also thought the portion size was quite small. I ordered to go. Charm Thai in Parma was waaayyy better. read more

Wow. Absolutely love this little hole in the wall. Thai kitchen tom yum is better than the traditional tom yum, and spicier. The papaya salad was perfect at 5. Refreshing and spicy. Can't beat pad thai with chicken and mango with sticky rice to finish. My only tip, the hibiscus tea is amazing! What kills it for me is the level of sweetness. Order with ice water to dilute to iced tea perfection if you don't have a sweet tooth. read more

Excellent family run business!! The food is consistent and affordable, the staff is attentive, friendly, and fast, and I always leave satisfied!! read more

So delicious! I recommend the Thai kitchen Tom yum soup. It's the perfect combination of spicy, citrus, and sweet. I crave it from the moment I finish the bowl. The service is always friendly and the food is made fresh. read more

Lots of vegan choices!!! They had larb tofu on special when I was there - one of my favorites. Also, you can get the Thai coffees and teas vegan as well. The menu offerings are really authentic, with lots of dishes not found at other places. The flavor of the food was fresh. I ordered the red curry with tofu (very good) and was disappointed at the small amount of brown rice served with it. The curry comes in a platter-sized dish, but the rice was barely 1.5 cups. It's a soupy dish- I had to order a second portion of rice to soak up the curry. Good service, but nothing remarkable. It's a little bit pricier than some Thai places, but it shows in the quality of the food. It's worth it for an occasional treat. read more

Good, inexpensive Thai food! Very small place, but friendly. Amazing veggie fresh rolls and red curry.

Good, the only thing I would say is that it's really cramped inside, but the food was delicious and it came out in a decent amount of time. The waitstaff was very friendly. read more

Service was kind and courteous I would encourage a to go order and eat at Edgewater park. Although the combination pad thai didn't have all the promised ingredients. read more

I'd give it a 3.5 if i could. This place is tiny and super simple with friendly staff. Their spring rolls are good, a bit oily for my taste though. Keang Panaeng was really good but Pad Thai was a definite miss. But overall, not disappointing. I'd recommend it. read more

So tasty!!!! My girl friend and I always love the food here and our servers are always so nice! Great spot for Thai if you're on the west side read more

Great little restaurant. Not to many tables and its byob, which is awesome. We had the Pad Thai and the coconut curry noodles and it was absolutely fantastic. I would absolutely recommend this on a cool day when you want to warm up! read more

Thai Kitchen - Thai Near Me - Lakewood, Ohio

Best Thai so far in the Cleveland area! My favorite is the keang panang. Have had the pad thai which was fine but not as good as the panang. And this is the place where you can get actual Thai spicy and not marginal 'American' spicy at other places. And the prices are so CHEAP! Highly recommend! read more

Best place in Cleveland to get Thai food. It seriously doesn't get any better than this! Ignore the super small interiors; obviously, the service and the food here are what matters. It's a great family run hole-in-the-wall joint, and they pride themselves on serving authentic food. My favorite item on their menu is #43- kuit tiao. It's a Thai noodle soup and every Thai establishment alters the dish in a different way. The secret is to ask Kwan to add peanuts to the dish. The portions are huge for the great price you're paying. Be warned: if you ask for a 10 on the spice scale, it will be spicy! :) If I visit Cleveland again, I will definitely stop by this joint. read more

I've picked up dinner from here a few times. Their coconut noodle soup is good and their fried rice was good. I've tried a few other things here and they've been good. But that one time I feel their crunchy spring roll were bad, a bad taste and seemed stale. I've had it in the past and it was never so bad. Hope they fix it and it consistent all the time. read more

Our experience was atrocious. I have worked in a Thai restaurant before and I can not believe how some of these dishes were prepared and served. Pad Thai: too much sugar and watered down sauce was used. The Green Curry was too thick and dry. It was also served on a PLATE. Thai Curry goes into a bowl, it should have a consistency similar to soup. Our order came out at different times, by a large margin. One person was able to finish off half of their dish before the other dish came out. The Thai tea was a shame both in size and quality. It was 70% half-n-half, it should be 50/50 and poured CAREFULLY over the ice to not mix the two. Overall I should have walked out. read more

Amazing! Do not let the appearance and location throw you off! This is by far the best Thai food I have found in Northeast Ohio. The chef has been making amazing dishes for over 30 years. A must try for Thai food enthusiasts. read more

Everything we have eaten here has been exceptional! The owners are very nice and the prices are fair. Be forewarned though; the food is incredibly spicy. I asked for medium spice and it was still almost too much for me! Delicious nonetheless though :-) read more

I would venture to say that this is the best Thai food in Cleveland if you are looking for authentic flavors, spice level, and a restaurant that considers dietary restrictions. Almost all options can be made vegan and gluten free which is a huge bonus. Thai iced coffee that is to die for. Highly recommend any of the curry dishes! read more

This is my favorite Thai place in town. It is very small as others have said, but I find it cozy. The walls are covered in pictures and knickknacks from the family's vacations to Thailand. Some of their dishes are even served in some of the family's souvenirs! The food is also really good. I can taste the difference in the quality of the spices used here pretty easily. Nothing in town really compares. I will warn you to be cautious about heat level if you don't like hot food. The owner and his wife will be happy to accommodate you. That being said, the food is really a lot better if you get it hot! read more

This is authentic as it gets! The menu is a little overwhelming and if you like spicy this is your place! I love the ginger tea and The Thai Kitchen Tom Yum!!! I usually try a different specialty dish every time in go. Service can be a little to laid back, but the family there is so pleasant. read more

I ate here on Monday for the first time. My husband recommended it knowing I love to try new restaurants. We came in for lunch and had a wonderful experience. Our server was very helpful explaining all the different dishes. We had an appetizer, and since I couldn't decide...we shared 3 entrees. Everything was wonderful. The curry (level 2) was not too spicy. I will definitely be heading back the next time I get a Thai food craving! read more

Horrible Disrespectful Customer service!! First off let me start off and say I am not one to leave many reviews good or bad but I had to take the time to share my experience. Yesterday evening I visited this restaurant about 8:45pm in the evening. When I first walked in I was greeted by a pleasant young gentlemen who offered me a menu for take out. I have been to this restaurant maybe 3 or 4 times in the past but it had been at least 6 months since my last visit. I am not very familiar with the menu as this not a place I frequent. Shortly after receiving my menu a tall European man approaches me to let me know that the restaurant stops taking orders at 8:45 for take out and that I need to place my order promptly. I said sure no problem with a smile and the gentlemen then walked away. The pervious time I was there I had ordered some kind of spicy beef dish with stir fried noodles but I was not quite sure on the name. I then go on to describe the dish to the cashier and he suggested a 2 different dishes both of which had peanuts that of which I was not really fond of. Fast forward about 4 minutes later the Tall European man approaches me again this time in a very aggressive tone like someone who is scolding there child "YOU NEED TO PLACE YOUR ORDER LIKE NOW! I MEAN RIGHT NOW! Now mind you they have a very large menu at least 5-6 pages and the young man at the register was very nice but was not very helpful in identifying the dish I was looking for. I have never in my 35 years of living receive such poor customer service. I try my best to always respect people no matter where I go. I have worked in the hospitality business so I understand every one wants to get home to there family but at the same time why not come over and help them figure out what they are looking for. Appreciate your customers there the ones who keep you in business. Don't treat them like there bad little children. Needless to say I thanked the young gentleman at the register and quietly waked out. I then got in my car and drove right down the street to Thai Thai. They were thankful for my business and got my order out quickly. Sad to say I will not be returning to Thai kitchen, They have pretty good food but you just cant treat people that way. read more

We were excited to see the awards for Thai kitchen and figured we would give it a try for the first time. We ordered PadThai, green curry, and the chefs special fried rice. The food was absolutely disgusting. The rice was overlooked and of cheap quality. The chicken was dry (not marinated), the PadThai had so much sugar in the sauce we threw it out. The green curry lacked balance of ingredients. I can honestly and unequivocally say that we will never go back. TY PHUN in Tremont is like night and day. We usually do not write reviews, but it was such an awful experience we wanted to share it. read more

HANDS DOWN the BEST thai food in this city! The chef is native to the land, and her husband is America. They are the cutest family and provide the best cuisine possible. My favorite dish is the Panang Cury with DUCK. (They will do substitutes if you ask them!) I am also obsessed with the Thai Kitchen Tom Yong soup. Order it with sticky rice for a real treat! You really can't go wrong here, I don't know how this place doesn't have 5 stars!? ***** read more

Well, I've revied two places in Lakewood now (originally from Chicag), Phoenix Cafe and now... Thai Kitchen I will just say this; If you are looking for a place that's oh-so-romantic and hollywood, don't come here. If you want them to get on one knee and propose to you while they serve you steak and garnishes, head elsewhere. However, if you are looking for a nice little place with wonderful food and kind-hearted people to support in an independant business, this is the place for you. I am very particular when it comes to Indian and Thai food, but this place is legitimate. I have a few places of refuge in Lakewood, something that I need. This is definitely one of them. This is a place to go if you are human in instinct, want to feel individual, and more importantly, if you want authentic food. read more

Owned by a genuinely nice Thai couple for the past 14 years, Thai Kitchen is disappointing if you're looking for a nice atmosphere. However, if you're willing to look past the unassuming exterior and small and cozy interior, you'll find some tasty home-cooked genuine Thai food. Just glance at the menu and you'll know that you've come to an authentic place. I found a lot of items that I haven't seen since I was in Thailand - basil chicken fried rice, a slew of noodles and curries, and an amazing ginger tea. On top of all that, I found that the cooking didn't use a lot of MSG, which is usually used as much as salt in most Thai restaurants. We had Tom Yum Koong, Green Curry with Shrimp, Basil Chicken Fried Rice, and a Ginger Tea - all of which came out to $31 incl. tip. I can imagine that most people probably take-out from here, but I highly suggest eating at the restaurant - there's a charm to the place that makes you feel at home. read more

Just a FYI. This restaurant changed ownership since this past summer. The previous owners retired and returned to Thailand and the current restaurant is in my opinion the best restaurant in Cleveland. Take it from someone who knows what good authentic Thai food is. The food is delicious. The prices are reasonable and match up to the prices at major metropolitan cities. I've been to other Thai restaurants in the Cleveland area and they are way overpriced. Some places are charging $15 a plate (we are talking Manhattan prices...I'm sure you know which restaurant I'm talking about)!!!! Restaurants in LA and Chicago are charging 7-8 bucks a plate. All the dishes are good...just ask them to make it "Thai style" and you are good to go. If your dish isnt spicy enough, ask them for Thai peppers (whole peppers or a powder form). This place only takes cash btw. read more

I love this place! Everything we've gotten has been excellent, the pad thai is delicious. Very small place, great for a date night.

THai Kitchen Tom YUM!(w/ tofu) literally the best soup I have ever consumed in my 26 years on this soup filled planet I call home. The currys and pad thais I've had are also delicious. read more

I freakin love Thai Kitchen and I can't believe I haven't given them a proper shout out on Yelp. I've had Pad Thai all over Cleveland and I find that Thai Kitchen has the best. I don't order anything else because we (Pad Thai and I) have such a committed relationship. I would feel disrespectful, dishonest, disturbed...pretty much all the disses in the dictionary if I cheated on the Pad Thai at Thai Kitchen. I usually get carry out, but they have a nice little dining area. This place gets pretty crowded at dinner time on Friday. Came here around 6:15 PM to dine in without having to wait for a table. However, 15 minutes into my meal I noticed a lot of people coming in, only to leave because there were no tables available and waiting was kind of awkward, because there is no where to sit while you wait for an open table. Service is quick, but can be a little rushed and spotty as the place fills up. Trust me though, it's worth it. Just be patient and make sure you bring some beer/wine from home (It's BYOB, and they only charge $2.50 per person) read more

This is aunt incredible restaurant that anyone in the area needs to visit! The food is fresh, everyone is very friendly and helpful. Everything is extremely affordable. I will always return here. read more

Yum. Got Tom Kar and Pad Kee Mao to go and both were fantastic.

I am a fan of Thai food, and I read good things about this restaurant so me and my friends decide to try. It is a Friday night they were pretty busy, a lot people ordered take out. we ordered spring roll, tom yum soup pad thai and yellow curry. Their Menu has a lot choices, the spring roll was fine come with typical Thai chilli sauce. The Tom yum soup was below par. I ordered with tofu , it is pre-fried tofu with a not too warm center. The vegetable in there are a lot inedible white part of green onion, and napa cabbage that you can buy for 69 cents in an Asian grocery store.it with one piece of mushroom. it wasn't flavorful enough at all. I was pretty disappointed but I was still looking forward to my Pad Thai. I wanted it a bit spicy and the waiter told me I can put my own spice. when my pad thai came I know it was another disappointment, It looks really plain with not much color. which I was right, the sauce was very watery, feels like they boil the noodle in water and didn't drain it properly and put the sauce on it. they barely stir-fried it.. when I mentioned this to the owner, he started to trying to give me a lesson saying every Thai restaurant has a different way to make pad thai blah blah .... this is how they make it.. I didn't want to argue with him and being polite.... but I at least been to 10 Thai restaurants around the area. and I have been to Thailand, I at least know Pad Thai should be s stir fry noodle not noodle topped with water sauce....My friends curry was fine ... I would not go back to this place ... But pad thai is a benchmark dish for a Thai Restaurant...and the owner was too full of himself .... not recommended .. it is really cold inside since their door open directly to the outside.. food gets cold too. read more

Thai kitchen has improved with the new ownership than it was 5 some years ago when i started eating here. Now I come here on a weekly basis to get my Thai fixings. The taste has improved 110% from the old owners, (the old owners, an older married couple are related to the new owners as well. they are cousins). The menu has new additions, and my favorite is H2, the bangkok lo-mein, followed by KS5 the basil fried rice, and KS2 green with duck, amazing can't go wrong !! No MSG, they can make meals according to your spice capabilities, they have brown rice as well (and it's really good, never had anything like it before), and spring rolls freshly made on a daily basis. This women works hard to make her food taste good, and it shows. I like that the servers (two who switch off with each other) don't come annoying you every 5 minutes as they do in other chain restaurants. When they see you're running low on water they fill it propmply, and still follow up just enough times that you have an enjoyable meal. And i still wonder how they have time to do their homework in the back corner sometimes, their both serious about school. The food is great, the atmosphere is great. It almost feel as if you're in Thailand by with all the decorations and pictures on the wall. I recommend to all the people who said it's not good, go back and try again, because i have yet to be disappointing, and whenever i am dining in other customers say the same as me. A great hole in the wall joint. read more

Went here for lunch during the work week; ordered the chicken pad thai with peanut sauce on the side. Although I was a little dismayed by the outside appearance of the place and fact that the dining room was tiny, with the kitchen right next to some of the tables, the food more than made up for appearances. The portion was large and very flavorful, in addition to being a great value for the price, and it was made exactly how I would have liked it with a choice of spice level. I can't wait to go back. read more
