Delicious, fresh food! We are so happy this is in Porterville. This time we had Tom Yum, Drunken Noodles, Panang, and Salt & Pepper Tilapia. We went for lunch on a Thursday. The waitress was so sweet and the rest of the staff were lovely and friendly also. We ordered extra to have for dinner :) read more

Service is trash. Food is great. You're best off ordering out so you don't have to deal with the rude waitress that works there with the tattoos. She is very arrogant and unprofessional and will ruin your calm mood if you go in there for lunch. I frequently eat here because I love the food even before the new owner took over (I preffered my buddy who used to own it as the food was a lot more flavorful) now the food isn't the exact same but the pricing also went up. I've been eating here for YEARs and have never been treated this way as I was today by a person working in customer service. Ghetto. I'm not sure if she is a miserable person but holy smokes they need to reconsider their new waitress staff or they're going to lose customers due to the lack of professionalism and service. Major attitude adjustment needs to be made as well as reprimanding. read more

Do not go eat there, they are unprofessional and rude. We try to get table for ourself and my two kids but couldn't saying we came with a friends so we have to go in the back and be seated together even though we have our own family's. read more

Horrible service. I used to love and enjoy coming here and it was a comforting lunch spot for me. However today I was treated very rudely and unprofessional by the waitress. I didn't catch her name but she was very rude and had tattoos on her and seemed annoyed to be doing her job. If you go here, ask for the owner to take your order because YIKES. I don't feel comfortable returning. Sorry Thai kitchen, I'll take my business and hard earned money elsewhere. read more

Wow, the food here is so delicious. We really enjoyed the vegetable spring rolls, almost a meal in themselves, with both dipping sauces. Salt and pepper cod, and spicy green bean dishes were also exceptional. Fresh ingredients, perfect flavoring which exceeded our expectations. The service was also very good. Highly recommend! read more

So we were not happy when this place changed owners the recipes were just not the same. We gave it a try tonight. We were excited because I feel like the old recipes are back! . You can definitely taste the difference. The chili oil has that toasty flavour again & is edible hear wise. yellow curry has potato and depth of flavour again. We're so happy because this use to be our go to place and we've missed it. It's definitely going to be our go to place again. So happy read more

It's a shame to say that Thai Kitchen a couple years ago is a 4 star, however today it's the opposite. Thai Kitchen has fell from the heavens of higher ranking restaurants in the Porterville area and has went down in everything. First, their prices increased which was shocking. Then came the slimmed out portion sizes which they became skimpy on. Lastly, the quality of food isn't the same. Not sure if management changed or ownership, but it's fell off BAD! Last note, I went there 3 years ago on a dine in experience and it was bug infested, like literally bugs crawling everywhere. Hope the place changes, but it's sitting at a 1. Just close the restaurant at this point. read more

My experience here was awful! When I was seated the waiter seemed rushing and it was rude and when she was being she also was quite ignorant towards me. It was a horrible experience, if you're looking for a place in Porterville this is not it! Save your money and stress from the waitress and don't go here! read more

We ordered the pho and stir fry green beans. The pho was alright. It had tons of noodles and very little seafood. My husband stir fry was okay too. Wished the meat was on the tender side but it wasn't. The service was good. Our waitress was friendly and came to check up on us. But the bathroom and the restaurant itself it's very dirty. They were a lot of cluttered of dirt on the corners and a lot beneath the table legs. It was pretty disgusting and the bathroom was unbelievably disgusting. That bathroom has not been cleaned easily over a few months. Where are the health inspector when you need them? read more

Great food, friendly staff & nice atmosphere. I always love the bbq salmon & cashew chicken stir fry .

This is the only Thai restaurant I know of in Porterville and it's pretty decent. It's not the best Thai food I've ever had, but their Panang Curry and sauces are very good. The food is fresh, Spring Rolls are also good. read more

Placed a to go order, the lady was nice over the phone. The food wasn't good... eggrolls were soggy and pho tasted slightly weird. First and last time ordering there. read more

It was good and fresh.The egg rolls and noodles are my favorite now.Service was very friendly and she was awesome.

The food here is delicious and consistent. Great prices and big portions. I often order the steamed dumplings and drunkin noodles.

I tried Thai Kitchen not too long ago and I don't recommend coming here at all. The service was not so great. It was hardly packed yet they took too so long to bring the food out. Worst of all, there was a cockroach in my soup. read more

This is one of my favorite restaurants in town! The food is always good, and it is freshly made. The restaurant lots of room for bigger parties and smaller ones. My favorite dish from here is the drunken noodles. Not one flavor in this dish is overpowering the other, they work in tandem. The portions here are also very good for what you pay. read more

Love this place! Some of the best Thai food ever. I live over an hour away & will drive to Porterville at least once a month to eat here. They have this spicy squid/crab dish that is AMAZING. Service is always really good. The place is just a little hole in the wall, but a true staple to Porterville. One of their best restaurants. read more

This is the only Thai Restaurant in Porterville. It will have to do because there is no other Thai place in this town. It is also not fair to compare this place with the restaurants in LA, which have a lot of competition. In that context, important for me to order the dishes they do well. I generally get carry out. While there are many stir fry Thai dishes, and soups, most of them taste similar and do not have distinguishing features of flavor. However, their Thai curries are good and their Penang curry is top notch (I had it with beef). You will also not be disappointed with their Red curry. I have these curries during as their lunch specials (7-days a week) which also come with steamed rice and salad. I like their salad because apart from lettuce, it also has carrots and cucumber, the latter being my favorite. read more

Thai Kitchen was packed and the pick up orders were going crazy. That was a great sign. The staff was very friendly. We ordered the drunken noodles extra spicy, Tom Yum soup, and crispy catfish. The food was amazing. Sweet, spicy, umami. I honestly can't way to go back. My whole family was stoked. The only downside is, we did wait like 45 minutes food. But the wait... was well worth the food. read more

After seeing someone online eating a soup with chicken and vegetables in coconut milk, I decided to check out the menu here to see if anything looked like what they had. There were a couple of things that sounded close but I ended up ordering the yellow curry with chicken and the Goong Tod (fried shrimp). Delivery was fairly quick I just had time to cook rice in my instant pot since I forgot to order any before it arrived. The shrimp was just slightly overdone and the first one I had did have a slight burnt taste but once I used the included sauce it was MUCH better. The menu says the sauce is a sweet and sour sauce but it is not very sweet, it had a ginger flavor to it (I think) and it tasted very good. Curry had a pleasant mild flavor, if you are new to curry this is a good place to start especially if spices aren't you thing. I do recommend ordering rice as well since it is not included with the curry. Good sized portions; the curry came in one of those large clear soup containers and there were plenty of leftovers. I would order this again. read more

We visit while in town for the refreshing Mango salad, but today, everyone tried a different dish. The Tom Jeud looks simple but was pretty flavorful. The fried rice was really tasty. The fried chicken was super crispy while still being juicy. The dipping sauce for the chicken was tangy, sweet, and a bit spicy. My absolute favorite was the green sauce that comes with the sticky rice. Spicy and amazingly flavorful! read more

We searched high and low for a place to enjoy boba tea today, but every place we went to was either closed or had inaccurate website descriptions about their Thai tea availability. After visiting a total of 5 places, we were pleased to find out that not only was Thai Kitchen open, but they had boba! The drinks are cheap and delicious, and though we did not order food the menu looks tasty and we will be trying it next time. Definitely come here if you want to support an awesome local business with friendly staff, a clean environment, and wonderful Thai tea and coffee (add boba!) read more

This was so gross! Please keep away. I ordered the chicken pho and they tried tu pass this as chicken. It looked more like pork disguised as chicken. The meet was very here when I tried touching it. I was after if if eating it because of course it looks nothing like chicken. I asked the waitress and she said that it was made out of chicken thighs, which made me even pre suspicious because it should have been super tender. Who knows what they are actually putting in your plate. read more

Thai Kitchen - N5. Chicken Noodle Soup - Thai Near Me - Porterville, California

On the way back from a weekend of camping, we decided to eat Thai food. We only ordered 2 dishes, One was a noodle dish (which was pretty good) The second was Yellow Curry, I was surprised when we got into our car and no rice? I thought maybe they forgot it. Usually all the places I go to, if you order a meal like curry, or other Asian main dishes they come with rice?? Am I wrong? Anyways we were told that it doesn't come with rice. Like nachos without cheese, or hot dogs without a bun. Made no sense to me. So what do you do. I ordered a white rice, almost 6 bucks for a container of rice? Are you out of your mind...I guess I was stuck, with curry and no rice..had to pay the rice mafia their asking price...LOL... that was very sad in my book. I was told that rice comes with the lunch combo??? First and last time for sure. A bit of a disappointment. read more

We are long time customers. Years. Many years since shortly after opening. We went as a group of 6 women. They Lindsay us in the back room where it was warmer without the breeze each time the door opened. We ordered and our food came within a reasonable amount of time. I noticed that the noodles in my curry soup were not the usual rice noodles but the flavor was still good. Two of us wanted coconut shrimp which were still on the menu but they no longer make. I ordered tea which I shared with one other. Then found out they charged us each $3 for tea. I can't remember paying for tea before at other restaurants. It's kinda like a freebie for ordering an entree. Like getting complimentary chips and salsa. We did have a pleasant time. Friend time. Nice. The issue came when we were paying. We were charged a higher price than the menu stated. And a $3 gratuity was added because of being 6. Without telling us. We are all accustomed to tipping so we would have tipped. We just felt this was a bit deceptive. I was pulling out my tip when that realization came so we would have each tipped twice. It's just sad when what you enjoy changes like it has with other popular restaurants in town that have now lost business over those changes. We wish them well and hope they work it out. We are all older and retired so we were quite surprised. They felt they didn't need to share these facts with us. read more

Always check your receipt and add up the cost before you actually pay. It's actually a lot cheaper to pay on Yelp than call to order. The food is mediocre & to pricey for what you pay. The curry is always watery and whenever I request a spice level it's not as spicy so I end up adding more hot sauce to my meal. read more

The drunken noodles was the first to arrive, and I thought it tasted quite well for a Thai restaurant in a little town... The pad see ew was the second thing to arrive. This dish was pretty delicious; the flavor was good, and I would get it again (if I ever come back). The Thai bbq chicken was the third course.... When the waitress placed the chicken on the table... I took a whiff; the aroma of the chicken fired neurons in my brain.... I had previously smelled this before.... Rotisserie chicken from Costco. Do you know that distinct smell of Costco chicken? Have you ever seen the chicken wing of the Costco rotisserie chicken? Soggy chicken skin... All the signs checked out from this "Thai BBQ Chicken". I was in total disbelief, so I had to ask one of the workers and they confirmed to me that it was dam rotisserie chicken. I was told that the owner should remove the item from the menu. I agree. Would have gave this place a 4+ star, but dam really Costco rotisserie chicken? read more

I waited 35 minutes before getting any food , asked for it to go and still nothing. waitress was in such a hurry she took someone's order before mine, even after she seated me, rude. I waited 5 minutes more then I left won't food because I had to get back to work. not going over there again. they lost my business. read more

Space is nice workers are nice. Food is always a 10/10. I've been here a handful of times maybe 7-8 times always super good. I had the yellow curry today, so good it has me writing this review! read more

Great iced Thai tea, super sweet. Pad thai was ok, very little chicken. Peanut sauce $2 extra.

I'm 70 years old and this was the first time to try Thai food. I had the vegetable Pad Thai it was delicious. I saved half for lunch the next day. The waitress was very nice would definitely go back again. read more

So totally agree that the new owners have taken a Porterville gem built by Preecha and his staff and run it into the ground. Why would anyone make changes to a winning menu/recipe?? I don't know why they would decide to close on Saturdays when everyone is out and about. I am mourning the death of what WAS the best Thai restaurant in the Valley. read more

Every Time I come to this restaurant the service is always great! Their food is always delicious and just made. Their portions are great too, and have many items to choose from. My go-to is always the drunken noodles and they never disappoint me. If you are looking for great Thai food this spot is where you should definitely go! read more

We have been coming here for years. We have always enjoyed the eggplant stir fry and their curries. Well, I guess they have new owners because the menu and food have changed. They no longer have the eggplant stirfry. They do have a dish called 'Eggplant Delight' which we decided to try. We also ordered the beef salad and the red curry with chicken. The red curry came first. This was lacking in flavor. Very little curry taste, just a prominent coconut flavor from the coconut milk used in the sauce. We were not asked by the waitress for a spice level on our food; this was very bland. The Eggplant Delight was described as a mix of ground chicken & shrimp served in a creamy red curry sauce over roasted eggplant. This dish looked extremely unappetizing... more like a plate of gruel than an entree. It was literally a shallow plate of thick, gloppy sauce. There were a few streaks of eggplant puree throughout the dish, but no noticeable eggplant flavor. It tasted better than it looked and actually had more curry flavor than the red curry. It was extremely unremarkable, I wouldn't order it again. The beef salad was the best item we tried. It had a decent level of spice and flavor. It was a little short on lettuce for a salad dish, but there was a generous amount of beef and lots of fresh mint leaves. Service was fine, nothing spectacular. The table is set with napkins and a fork only. We had to ask for spoons, even though we ordered a curry dish, which comes with a rather soupy sauce. Would it really hurt to just put out spoons as well as forks for your customers? Overall, not a great meal. I'd try different dishes next time, but we probably won't return. read more
