    Tom kha soup with chicken
    Maria P.

    It's been a while since we ate in the restaurant instead of getting food to go. We ordered the Tom Kha soup for 2 with chicken and beef satay. It was excellent! Very Mom and Pop local restaurant vibe but the food is always excellent.

    26. BBQ Honey
    Gerald R.

    TWO DINING MEALS My first encounter with Thai Kitchen was ordering food to be delivered about five years ago. During that time I wasn't able to ate at Thai Kitchen. So I decided to come here to see how the food tastes at the restaurant versus food was the delivered to my home. The first time I ate here was for dinner. I didn't want to order the same food that was delivered. For dinner I ordered the honey BBQ pork and Thai Kitchen fried rice. I'm a firm believer anytime a restaurant has an item with the name of the restaurant that item signifies as a specialty. There was nothing really was special of the fried rice as I've eaten similar fried rice dishes at restaurants. I wouldn't have ordered the fried rice had the name of the restaurant was not on the item. Too much sugar on the meat can result an overly charred dish, but the BBQ honey pork at Thai Kitchen had a slight char with a moist meat. For the price I paid I had a satisfactory meal. My second time eating here was for lunch. I ordered the angel wings lunch plate special. The breading provided the crunchy texture. I liked the filling but couldn't taste the chicken. I slightly like the angel wings than the Thai Kitchen fried rice however not by much. The surprise for my lunch meal was the dessert siamese gems. This dessert is a Thai-style halo-halo. My second favorite dish in the world is halo-halo, which is a Filipino dessert. I wasn't expecting the siamese gems to be better than halo-halo. I wanted to see how different in texture between halo-halo and siamese gems. Whereas halo-halo consists of crushed ice the siamese gems consist of ice cubes. There are more ingredients in halo-halo than the siamese gems. Despite the differences I liked siamese gems at Thai Kitchen. Overall I had decent meals at Thai Kitchen. I'm glad I went there to eat instead of delivery because I know how the food really is at Thai Kitchen.

    The tea!
    Antoinette T.

    Unfortunately, I can't say I had a great experience here. The food was less than mediocre. The Pad Thai was missing key ingredients like bean sprouts and tofu, and it had no real flavor. The pineapple fried rice was scorched so badly I could smell it as they brought it to the table -- and it tasted like it was made from days-old leftovers. The chicken in every dish was very stringy and strange in texture, unlike anything I've had before. The yellow curry wasn't much better -- it had about two large, undercooked chunks of potato and two giant carrots. All of this somehow came out to just over $100, which felt way overpriced for what we got (maybe the hot tea pushed it over, lol) I don't usually expect much from a mom-and-pop, hole-in-the-wall place -- sometimes those are the best spots -- but this one definitely missed the mark. Even the decor could really use some love. And for being the only people in the restaurant, the service could have been a little better too. Overall, just a disappointing experience, and I won't be going back.

    Seafood Pad Thai
    Ariana H.

    I spent $42 on just three items and left feeling completely ripped off. If you're thinking maybe I ordered large, family-style portions or high-end dishes -- not even close. I ordered a side of rice, curry chicken, and seafood pad thai. That's it. When I picked up my order, I was immediately shocked by how small the bag was. Honestly, I regret not walking out right then. To make matters worse, they didn't list individual item prices on my receipt since I ordered over the phone, and the Yelp menu photos are outdated. Yes, I should've questioned the total, but I figured the portions would be reasonable -- maybe even enough for leftovers. Wrong. As you can see in the photos below, both the rice and curry chicken were ridiculously small -- each container barely the size of my palm. Completely unacceptable for the price they're charging. I only ate the seafood pad thai, and even that was mediocre at best. The best part was the crushed peanuts, and let's be honest, I could buy those myself for a couple of bucks. I will never return to this location, and I sincerely hope they rethink their portion sizes and pricing. Right now, it feels like they're taking advantage of customers. Save your money.

    Pra ram beef lunch special (13.99), hot water
    Victor G.

    Thai Kitchen has been here for literally decades. Decor is traditional Thai with the usual elephant, artifacts and pics. Semi-large seating area. Large parking lot. Offerings: usual Thai menu including lunch specials, specials... Quick service, ordered. Food ready in 10ish min. Sips: hot water. Skipped the usual sweet drinks Bites: pra ram beef lunch special (13.99) -came with a bowl of fresh steamed japanese rice. -had only a few twigs of melted spinach, lotsa broccoli pieces. Many sliced beef semi-tender/chewy. -beef & broccoli had no stirred fried flava, probably blanched in hot water before being mixed with peanut butter sauce in wok a few times -peanut sauce slightly sweet, had no other flavors. 3.5 stars worthy. Expected more flavor, stirred friedness. Food may have traveled well.

    Haven't been here for years but was in the area and wanted some papaya salad. Inside was nice and clean. It was empty when I got here because I came 10 minutes before they close after lunch. My order was to go so was quick. Service was nice. Papaya salad was little bit pricier than other places I have been to. Papaya salad was ok, it needed more flavor it had more of a sweet taste and needed more lime, I ordered it medium spicy and it had no heat luckily the waitress gave me couple chili powders so I added it in to have some kick. Not a fan of the papaya salad but will come again and try other items.

    Wild curry. Very water-y, not curry-like. and different taste from usual curries... Don't recommend
    Tina J.

    Went in and it was musty and old decor. That's fine... Some of the best food comes from holes in the wall. But food didn't impress. Beef Wild curry. Very water-y, not curry-like. and different taste from usual curries... A certain ingredient mixed in with the bamboo that neither my husband nor I liked. Pearl something dessert... Not as good as Halo halo. Would have rather gotten the Upside down halo halo from Cafe 86 down the street. Chicken yellow curry was good. Lunch special doesn't give you choice of meat which hubby didn't realize in time, and no soup, salad or eggroll. Plus is quantity of the dishes was huge. And service lady was nice.

    it was great. first time getting the shrimp and it was good. My grandma got the yellow chicken curry and said that it was a little spicy but also she just doesn't eat spice at all. The little face on the ice cream was cute, very nice touch.

    I am extremely disappointed with my experience at this restaurant and will not be returning…read more I called multiple times around 9:03 PM to place a takeout order. My calls rang repeatedly without being answered, and one call was picked up and immediately disconnected. Since I was already driving there, I went in person and saw an employee standing at the register, which made the lack of response even more frustrating. When I placed my order, I requested Tom Kha soup with mushrooms only, but was told that was not possible and that I had to choose either vegetables or shrimp. I explained that mushrooms were the only vegetable I wanted in the soup, but I was still told no. I then ordered spicy eggplant with ground chicken and two jasmine rice. After I paid for my order, I realized I wanted extra eggplant and went back to the counter to add it. I specifically told the employee that I was happy to pay the additional charge. Despite having just placed and paid for my order moments earlier, I was told they could not add extra eggplant because the kitchen was closing. The biggest issue came when I received my food. I specifically ordered spicy eggplant with ground chicken, but the dish was made with sliced chicken instead. When I brought it back, one employee initially insisted that this was how the dish came. Another employee then acknowledged that I had, in fact, ordered ground chicken. After speaking among themselves, they returned and asked if I would simply keep the incorrect order because they could not remake it. When I declined, they agreed to issue a refund. However, during the refund process, I was shocked when an employee named nat, shut her hair in a ponytail, asked for the condiments back because I was no longer taking the food. We are talking about a small container of sauce and a few jalapeño slices. In all my years of dining out, I have never had a restaurant ask for complimentary condiments back after making a mistake on an order. What was most disappointing was the complete lack of customer service. There was no apology for the unanswered phone calls, the incorrect order, or the inconvenience. Instead, I was met with attitude and indifference throughout the interaction. To make matters worse, employees were already mopping the floors while numerous customers were still dining inside. I personally almost slipped on the wet floor. The staff clearly saw customers walking through the area, yet the floors were being mopped before customers had even finished their meals, creating an unnecessary safety hazard. I also witnessed several customers being turned away despite arriving before the posted closing time, while there were still many customers seated and eating inside the restaurant. It appeared that staff were more focused on closing and leaving than serving customers during their posted business hours. Finally, when I asked for a copy of my refund receipt after accidentally handing mine back, I was told they could not print another one. Instead, an employee handed me the restaurant's copy of the refund receipt and instructed me to take a picture of it with my phone. Mistakes happen in every business. What matters is how they are handled. Unfortunately, this experience was marked by poor communication, lack of professionalism, and a complete absence of customer care. I hope the owner sees this review because they deserve to know how customers are being treated. For anyone looking for excellent Thai food and outstanding customer service, I highly recommend New Krungthai Restaurant. They have been consistently wonderful, their food is excellent, and they have always treated me with kindness and respect. They have earned my business for years to come, and I will gladly continue supporting them. Unfortunately, after this experience, I will be taking my business there instead. Good food is important, but customer service and professionalism matter just as much.

I think they do some items better than others, but I have yet to be disappointed by any of their food. It's always great to try something new on the menu and be pleasantly surprised.

Whether we're just picking up food, dining in at peak times or during the quiet hours, they always deliver a great experience. Their dining room is fairly large and they have a softer lighting that compliments that TLC decor well. Through and through, Chai Thai is consistent and reliable.
