    Cashew Nut chicken
    Sarah G.

    Two of us showed up at 5:30 pm a Wednesday and had a choice between a few seats. But, it's a very small restaurant, so it would be hard to accommodate larger groups in a busy night. Food was great and flavorful. I might pick the white rice next time instead of brown.

    Nancy L.

    I've tried their other locations and this was my first time at their Elk Grove location. It was as delicious as I remember! We ordered our usual - pad thai and basil fried rice, all with tofu! Service was quick and the food was sooo good! The flavor for both dishes were on point and everything was fresh! Portions were also huge! Love that they have many vegetarian options! We'll be back for sure!!

    Drunken Noodle
    Helen H.

    My friends and I came here for dinner. The restaurant is small, but we came early so seating wasn't an issue. We ordered a variety of dishes to share: fried calamari, curry puff, mango shrimp salad, papaya salad (Lao style), avocado green curry, spicy tilapia, and drunken noodle. Everything was pretty good, but my favorite was probably the avocado green curry. Service was quick and our water was constantly being refilled.

    Wow great Thai food and service. Finally had a chance to come try their boat noodle soup. It was very flavorful and big portion too. My daughter ordered the ground chicken with basil and fried eggs. That was delicious as well. Our server was very nice too. She was attentive. Will definitely go back and try other dishes.

    In this strip mall lots of little eateries opening- this is a good one. Service was fast and friendly. Restaurant is small simple and very clean. The food was so good lots of options for everyone you are eating with in your party. Eat her you will be happy.

    Papaya Salad
    Brianna N.

    I came in with a group of 3 for lunch on a Thursday. Our server was super sweet and friendly. We ordered family style and everything we ordered was really good. We got thai tea, papaya salad, pad se ew, pad thai, and boat noodles and it came out to around $76. I think the pricing per plate was pretty reasonable. The thai tea was more on the milky side so if that's something you like then I would suggest ordering. When we ordered the papaya salad we got medium spice and Laos style and it was an enjoyable spice level for us. I would come back again!

    Mango Sticky Rice with Coconut Ice Cream
    Amy T.

    Arrived around 6pm on Wednesday night. Restaurant was pretty empty. Service was very good. It was a warm day so the tall glasses of water were a nice welcome. We ordered Pad Thai with chicken, garlic pepper with beef/brown rice, basil fried rice and boat noodle. Flavors were wonderful on all the dishes. Basil fried rice was very fragrant. Boat noodle has lots of noodle and beef. A touch on the salty side. I ordered it spicy but it wasn't spicy. Thankfully, the chili options on the table helped kick up the spice level. Serving sizes were good, enough for everyone to taste and share. Definitely recommend ordering the mango sticky rice! Small restaurant. Restaurant was very packed by time we left. It's a small team working the front of the house but they took care of every table very well.

    My cousin recommended this place after attending an event and I'm so glad she did! It's a small restaurant with limited seating inside but don't let that deter you. The food was incredibly flavorful large portions and came out nice and hot!

    Eggplant (chicken)

    I fear that the Coconut has become one of the best Thai places in Elk Grove. My family and I live to visit and are hoping that it stays for a long time! It is tucked away in a quiet hole in the wall and the inside it quite small. Don't let the location fool you though, the food is fantastic. The chicken pad thai is consistently yummy and one of our favorite dishes to order. The chicken eggplant dish is full of vegetables and the sauce is soo full of flavor. Overall, the Coconut has consistently delivered delicious food and has become quickly become one of our favorite lunch spots.

    I've been here for soup 3 times and always left feeling I had a good meal. I love their Tom Yum. It has good flavor and I added some fish sauce to make it even taster. It's small with only a few tables and the menu is a little limited compared to their restaurant on T St. I'm glad they opened here in Elk Grove to give us another option for Thai food This will probably be the next place I take Corina for lunch as she hasn't tried it yet

    Menu 6/2024

    A quiet small hole in a wall Thai restaurant. I'm not sure how long The Coconut EG has been here but it used to be a Korean place with really good kimbap and bulgogi bowl. We came here for lunch on Saturday and the place was filled up pretty quickly, so plan ahead because of the limited tables. Curry Puff was good and nicely fried. Nothing to rave about. The Chicken Pad Thai was very good and a staple dish. The waiter will ask you for the spicy level. The Mango Shrimp Salad was excellent. Fresh ingredients and generous portion. It's a perfect dish for the hot summer days in Sacramento or when you crave for something refreshing. Friendly and attentive staff. I like it that I didn't feel rushed like other smaller restaurant because they are trying to turn the table around quickly.

    Thai Iced Tea
    Anika S.

    I love this place! My partner and I dined in and the service was great. The food came out fast and was so delicious. I ordered takeout another time for dinner and my family enjoyed it. My brother, who previously said he didn't care for thai food, loved the drunken noodles and pad thai and ate up the leftovers the next day. Their thai tea is around $4 and so worth it: strong and genuine flavor.

    Tofu pad Thai, red beef curry , papaya salad
    Crystal H.

    Delicious Thai food! We walked in around Sunday at 7:30pm. We ordered Tofu pad Thai, red beef curry , papaya salad, Thai boat noodle soup. Everything was perfect! We chose medium spice and it was spicy for me since I don't eat much spice. It's hard to find Thai boat noodles in Bay Area. But this one was really good and I have been to Thailand for the boat noodle soups. Big portions.

The servers were very attentive and kind; it was Monday night, and not extremely busy which helped. They boxed my food for me as well, customer service was even better than my first visit! ~~ Original review: An authentic Thai restaurant that is a true pleasure for your taste buds. I had the Thai iced tea with the roasted duck panang duck curry. A unique dish that I haven't seen at other Thai restaurants; the portion was plentiful and the duck was tender, flavorful and yummy. The curry didn't overpower the duck, and it wasn't soggy. The spice level was perfect. Spicy enough for a kick, but you can taste the medley of flavors. I really enjoyed the pineapple in this dish, it complemented everything else perfectly. The thickness of the curry was on point. 10/10 The Thai iced tea was balanced well; sweet, but a strong tea flavor. However, there were small bits of tea at the bottom. Otherwise, it was perfect. 9/10 My coworkers had the yellow chicken curry & chicken lettuce wraps. Service: Good customer service, they checked on us a couple of times even though it started to get busy. The tattooed server was handsome. 10/10 Ambiance: A casual hole in the wall vibe where you can hear the chefs yelling from the back. Gold wall art that makes you feel like you feel like you're in Thailand. Parking: Parking lot with plenty of parking at 6pm on a Tuesday. I would definitely return any time I'm in NorCal.

    I usually order KB's for takeout so I never had the chance to dine-in until today…read more The staff are always so nice whenever I'm here. They're quick and efficient. My friend and I tired the Pho Lao today. It's kind of similar to kathiew. It's really good here, I usually add a ton of chili oil. They ask you beforehand if you're okay with shrimp or not which I really appreciated. And of course, their also papaya salad is my go-to. I love that they include cabbage and vermicelli noodles with the order. A lot of other places don't include it/ charge extra. This place will always be a go-to for me.

    Whenever I am craving some Thai food and don't want to drive far, I head straight to KB's Thai Hut!…read moreThe food there is consistent and my orders are always ready on time for me to pick them up. The restaurant is located in a small plaza close to my house, which makes it really convenient to visit. When entering, you're greeted by welcoming staff and a short wait time as it's not always too busy there all the time. It is also small inside the restaurant, but that adds to the comforting feeling it gives off. My favorite item on the menu is the drunken noodles with chicken, and I usually pick 3 out of 5 for my spice level. I like that they allow you to choose how spicy you want your food because they are considerate of all spice tolerance levels. If I'm not ordering the drunken noodles, I'm getting the Pad Thai with chicken! I usually place orders over the phone as I tend to get KB's with my family, and they prepare the order so quickly. From my sister's house to the restaurant, it's about 6-7 minutes. After placing my order, it's usually done in 10-15 minutes which is really fast for 3-4 items at a time! Whether you're in the mood for eating out or ordering for pickup, KB's Thai Hut is a great choice for Thai food! I've been coming here consistently for a few years and they do not disappoint! I'd definitely recommend the drunken noodles with chicken and their Lao style papaya salad!

Got the: 1. Classic Gai (has breast & Thigh meat): 9.5/10 - comes with scrumptious fragrant rice and mouthwatering soup. The soup is so well balanced and not too heavy- beat chicken soup I've ever had in my life! Chicken is not flavored but they give a dipping sauce that is only mildly spicy, so won't be a problem for those that can't tolerate spicy food 2. Chicken Rice & Soup: 9.5/10 - basically the same as the classic gai but with the rice and chicken mixed in the big bowl of soup.

I'd probably opt to order the Take Two meal all in half crispy as that my preferred type of chicken; my girlfriend prefers the Half light option more. As it's more meat amd less fat, I just find it less flavorful in general. The young man at the counter was really helpful and friendly, and made ordering really easy.

The sauce in the skillet was not too heavy or sweet. It had a nice balanced flavor. All the different foods that came on the skillet were good. The meatball was a tad sweet for me. The baguette was warm and crispy. So good. Very good dish and one of the better ones I've had. Grilled rib eye rice combo: 5/5. I could be wrong, but I thought the beef had a slight lemongrass flavor that I love. The meat was tender. We got the garlic rice with it and it definitely elevates the flavors. Would recommend trying it with the garlic rice Egg rolls: 5/5. Came out nice and hot and crispy. The flavor is on the lighter side, but I thought it was flavorful enough. It also comes with fish sauce to dip in for more flavor and it was really good with that as well. Our boys love egg rolls and they approved. lol Kids noodle soup/pho: 4/5. Generous portion for the kids to share. They keep it simple for the kids. Just rice noodles and sliced beef. You can also add on meatballs, but we didn't since our boys don't always eat the meatballs. The pho broth was decent. The boys enjoyed it. I don't know if I would get a big bowl for myself.
