    I love this hidden gem for both lunch and dinner! I have eaten there with my mother 3 times and every time nearly every table is filled with happy eaters. Even though it is busy, the food comes out quickly and if very flavorful. The staff is consistent. Same staff for a long time, and they are always smiling. Being a Midwest Thai restaurant, it does seem that the chef holds back on the hot spices quite a bit. I suggest that you order "hot spice" if you want "mildly hot". The house salad dressing is very good. The iced coffee is killer, although I prefer beer. There is a back room for large groups, and there seems to be a following from local corporate offices, with groups of 8-10 people eating lunch there often. I will return often, whenever I get back to KC/ Lenexa/ Overland Park.

    Crab fried rice

    Came here for lunch and got the Padthai with chicken and crab fried rice. Got hot and sour soup- more on the sweeter side and crab rangoons which was small and cute no dipping sauce tho. The Padthai had little chicken and very saucy and pretty sweet compared to the ones I've had at other places. The crab fried rice was pretty good! The staff was nice and attentive. Would I come back? Probably not since it seems like they make their dishes on the sweeter side.

    I love coming here - solid food and solid pricing. Love how everything tasted, and prices are always reasonable. Service is fast and friendly. There's lots of tables, but it's always packed whenever I come in the evenings. Would be a fine spot for a casual dinner. Probably one of the best Thai places in KC. I also see a lot of people come in to pick up to go orders, so that's an option too. Would be more than happy to return here.

    Still staying with my OG review, best Thai food in Kansas City!!! Seriously, the best, no matter what you order. Service is quick and efficient. Restaurant is clean and nicely decorated. Food is not only amazing, but served super fast from the kitchen. Nothing but love for this place!!

    Pad Thai

    First time having Thai food-my grown kids took me. It was really good. I don't like spicy so ordered my Pad Thai mild but now think I would have also enjoyed medium as it wasn't spicy at all. Restaurant is very clean and the wait staff were very quick & attentive. This little place is a jewel!

    This is my new favorite Thai in Overland Park!! Drinks are reasonable (and strong). I ordered the Thai Sling and my fiancé ordered the Siam Ruby. The pad Thai is saucy, flavorful and a huge portion. The waitress recommended the spicy peanut garlic chicken (I can't remember the name) so we ordered that too. Again, huge portion and super flavorful! We ordered mild heat for both but felt like we could have handled spicier.

    It's been many years since we have eaten here, but elated to report that this place still has its magic!! Ignore the people complaining about prices or decor. We brought a work lunch party of 8 in at Noon and got seated immediately. They have ample seating in two main dining rooms. Our drinks were brought within two minutes which is key! Our server explained everything for our members trying Thai food for the first time. Our apps and then entrees were brought out super fast, 5-10 mins and brought out as they were cooked so steaming hot! The Basil Wings app is crispy deliciousness,, do not skip them! The pineapple ginger rice Thai Hot was amazing. But the star of the show was the Phad Sea Ew and the fresh made wide thin noodles that hold all the heat! 6/8 of us ordered that with various proteins and heat levels and all of us were part of the clean plate club. You also get your choice of soup or house salad, the Hot & Sour soup was good...sweeter when compared to the Chinese version. The servers smartly ask you what heat level you would like, Mild is very tame, Medium is perfectly hot, Hot is a nice step up and Thai Hot is the ultimate step up! Be sure to ask for the sides of various chilis to really step your heat game up! I have to give props to various servers constantly filling our waters every few minutes due to the sweat pouring down our faces! A+++ service!! We are mixing this location into our regular lunch rotation, thanks for ab amazing meal!

    Pad see ew
    Lucy T.

    Thai spots are now being compared to Lanna for me, which I feel is the absolute best Thai food other than Baramee downtown (as someone who lived in BKK) This restaurant has fallen off in recent years. The pad see ew was average, with little flavor other than "wok," not much sauce, and spongy tofu that seemed hastily added at the end with no chance to absorb flavor. Heavy on noodles, light on veggies also wasn't ideal. Medium spice amounted to red pepper flakes. Service felt simultaneously rushed but also slow to respond. No guest receipt offered at checkout.

    Pad thai and volcano soup
    Christopher D.

    Plenty of parking. Service was quick and helpful. They always ask your heat preference. We had the shrimp pad thai and the volcano soup. Each entree comes with soup or salad. Food is exquisite. Place is busy all the time. Clean with plenty of seaseating. Vast menu you won't be disappointed.

    This is my favorite place! They are so kind and welcoming! My best friend and I enjoyed our joint bday lunch they gave us mango cheesecake it was delightful. My pad Thai had nice plump fresh shrimp and tender chicken. It's a nice place to enjoy and leisure lunch and bask in the ambience a feeling like you're in Thailand!

    Crab Rangoon
    Stephanie K.

    Solid Thai place not my favorite but definitely worth a try. They were clean, no reservation needed. Quick service too. The food was good and they give you lots, we had enough to take home left overs

We were looking to try a new restaurant for our Saturday outing and decided on Bamboo Penny's. From the moment we walked in, it was clear that a lot of effort went into making the dining room and bar area fun, attractive, and inviting. Although we were being seated at a two-top, we noticed the bar was wide open and decided to dine there instead. Great choice. The bartenders were engaging, attentive, and very helpful in walking us through the menu. We started with Penny's Combo Fresh Spring Rolls, Thai Spicy Sausage, Penny's Rangoon, and Crispy Egg Rolls. This was a great way to sample several appetizers, and everything was delicious. My partner ordered the Salmon Panang Curry and really enjoyed it. The salmon was cooked just right, the curry had great flavor, and the broccoli paired nicely with the dish. I went with the Tiger Cry Steak, which was a little more hit-and-miss. The Tiger Cry sauce brought plenty of heat along with some really interesting flavors. The glazed carrots were excellent, perfectly glazed with just the right tenderness. Unfortunately, the mashed potatoes were over-whipped, giving them a gummy texture. The biggest disappointment was the steak itself. The quality wasn't what I expected, the steak appeared to be a few ounces short of the advertised 12 ounces, and on its own it lacked seasoning and flavor. The intramuscular fat was also quite chewy, making portions of the steak difficult to cut and eat. That said, one disappointing entrée wouldn't keep me from returning. We really enjoyed the atmosphere, service, appetizers, and Salmon Panang Curry. Bamboo Penny's has plenty on the menu I'd like to come back and try....I'll probably just stick with the non-beef options next time. I think this lands around a 4-star review: clearly a good overall experience with one legitimate miss.

    I don't know why we haven't dined here in a while as we love Thai food and our sampler appetizer…read moreand meals were very tasty. We will do a better job of remembering to get Thai food here; especially since it is so convenient to our home. We chose to dine in instead of take out to have that fresh from the oven taste and it didn't disappoint. We thought all the appetizers on the sampler were excellent and filled us up a bit, but that was ok as we hoped to have leftovers the next night for dinner - which we did! I got the Red Curry with chicken and unlike other places there was plenty of perfectly cooked chicken. My husband got the Gapow with beef and my sister-in-law got Gapow with chicken. My husband and I kept eating from each other's entrees as both were desired. The staff were welcoming and with the right timing for attention to our dining experience. If you like Thai Food, I hope you'll come here. They've been around for quite a while and that is a strong testament to their restaurant and food.

We were seated then we order but during the wait the rain stop so we decided to make it to go , pick our stuff and comeback to get our order. So when we get home we reheat everything. But pad thai was totally taste off and beef kinda dry. I normally like the brown sauce pad thai but occasionally did get to the place with red sauce pad thai. But to me this pad thai is just not to my liking. Then the coconut chicken soup it's was so sour and so watery did not taste like coconut and chicken meat also dry. Gave 3* because service was good.
