    C7. Kao Soi
    Elaine M.

    Okay this strip is off the main crowded area of Old Denton and PGB, but nice alternative to the crazy parking and crowds. We were hungry for lunch so we ordered a duck noodle soup, spice level 1, I am weak, I know! The hubs went for it and got Kao Soi Pork with egg noodles spice level 5. I was really concerned if they use added MSG and luckily they do not!! We didn't wait long before the food came out. The duck noodle soup is HUGE, I loved the egg noodles and big chunks of duck meat. It's sooo good. I can't explain. I tried the Kao Soi Pork and already I know I am going to order that one next time! If you wanna have lunch AND be able to have a nice relaxed conversation, pick this hole in the wall! It's so worth it! No wait, plenty of spacious seating, and food comes out fast.

    E5. Crispy Sesame Honey Chicken
    Lisa O.

    Lovely quiet restaurant for Friday night dinner at 7:30 pm. Many diners already seated too. Friendly, fast service by the owners and authentic, fresh food that was super tasty. We ordered level 3 of 10 (mild) for Crispy Honey chicken. The order is huge and could easily feed four so we took half home for lunch and it comes with a huge order of white fluffy rice too. My husband ordered his drunken noodles with pork at level 4 and it was just right for him. Not too spicy but a good kick. The food presentation was also beautiful with attention to cutting flowers in the carrots and the blue and white trim china plates. The homegrown Thai hot peppers make the difference! Great value for the money. We will be back again

    Mango Sticky Rice

    Every thing was incredibly delicious!! They were sold out of their chicken curry puffs, but if it was anywhere near as good as the taro puff pastry then I completely understand! The taro curry puffs were crispy, fluffy, and the filling was so good. The duck fried rice was amazing, the rice was flavorful & the duck just melts in your mouth. I will definitely be returning soon!

    Owners are really nice and accommodating to the customers. They're really sweet and give good service. The food tastes pretty authentic, and their drinks suit my sweet tastebuds very well. This is such a hole in the wall restaurant that is slept on. I've come here occasionally for 8 years, and the food never misses.

    Calamari
    Paula C.

    This is hands-down my favorite Thai restaurant in Carrollton, and I'm a regular for a reason. The red curry is seriously delicious--creamy, rich, and packed with veggies and your choice of protein. They don't hold back on the spice or the portions, so every bite is loaded with flavor. I also love the ample veggie options, perfect for when I want something lighter but still satisfying. The calamari is another standout--thick, crunchy, and cooked to perfection. The staff is always friendly, adding to the welcoming vibe. It's tucked away in an unassuming strip mall, but don't let that fool you--this place is a total gem. Whether it's curry, appetizers, or classic Thai dishes, they nail it every time!

    Nam with crispy rice
    David L.

    Absolutely love this place for some authentic Thai eats!! It's an awesome restaurant in the middle of a random Carrollton strip mall. Service is impeccable and quality of food is honestly some of the best Thai food in Dallas. Food: + Nam with crispy rice was a first for me and truly excellent. Came as a recommendation from the owner. + Kao soi was yummy + Kids fried rice was good + Papaya salad had a perfect balance + Curled noodle soup was great too Gonna have to try out more items on the menu!

    Duck pad thai
    Johnny H.

    This local Thai eatery has not become my top Thai restaurant in Dallas! You know it's authentic because their flavors are amazing but they also bring on the heat (a few dishes I've tried had a minimum spice level). Of the few things I've tried so far, the notable dishes were the nam with crispy rice and duck pad thai. The crispy rice pairs amazingly well with the lettuce and sausage, almost like a lettuce wrap. It's tangy, spicy, and I just love the textured - so addictive! The pad Thai is also very good and they are generous with the amount of duck they give. The duck was tender, not dry, and the skin was very crispy. Service can be a little slow since it's a mom and pop shop but I think the food and flavors make up for it.

    Taro Curry Puff
    ravi c.

    We were here on thursday night dinner on Rainy/foggy day! There were couple of tables occupied we were asked to sit ourselves where ever we wanted. Ordered Taro Curry, Pineapple fried rice with chicken, Pineapple fried rice with tofu and drunken noodles with no spice! We asked what are the spice levels and waitress said they have spice levels 1-10, anything over 5 is thai hot levels. So we ordered spice level 5 for the fried rice! Waitress stopped by after few and said they did not have flat noodles so we ordered kids fried rice! We received the fried rice before the appetizers. We had to remind them about the appetizer. Pineapple fried rice lacked flavor, spice level 5 is more like 2. Quantity was pretty good but lack flavor made it not enjoyable. Kids found their fried rice to be ok! Taro curry puffs were very good, although I did not see any curry flavor, not sure why they even call it that. Overall we were disappointed with the food, we had high hopes based on the previous reviews, may be not their best night!

    Jasmine tea

    The service here is a little slow because it's one person whose running the whole place. The food itself is phenomenal. My favorite was the Spicy Basil Catfish. The exterior of it is wonderfully crispy and the spicy sauce is friggn addicting. My husband attacked the garlicky riblets which were rich and super tender. I do recommend this place if you aren't in a rush. It's a local mom and pop shop that serves amazing authentic Thai dishes.

    N1. Pad Thai with Tofu
    Stephanie C.

    Had a wonderful dinner this evening! Our first time here, we will definitely be back. Service was great and food was really good. Everything seemed incredibly fresh and was plated very nicely. Great overall experience!

    SL1. Thai Papaya Salad
    Amy Y.

    What a find! Everything was super tasty, particularly the soft shell crab & papaya salad. They have a 1-10 scale for spiciness & it's no joke, so watch out. Service was great as well!

    Spicy pepper set-up
    Ed L.

    TomYumKung is one of the best Thai restaurants we've been to in DFW. Starting off with a shout out to Brenton, our server: great service! When we ordered everything w spice level 2 but I mentioned that I was the only one in our party that likes it really spicy, he brought out the standard chili crisp and garlic hot sauce but also some fresh chopped Thai chilis, which really kicked up all the dishes! Everything here has undiluted flavor, from the sweet Thai tea, to the fantastic Thai peanut stir fry, to the amazing duck dish. The crispy Thai basil duck had a dark rich robust sauce to go with the boneless cuts of duck that came with skin and just a sliver of duck fat - it's a great bite that is accentuated by the deep fried crunchy basil - just so good! Portion sizes are HUGE, especially the huge bowl of Massaman curry that easily serves two people. We brought half of it home and are planning on adding some chicken to it to make another full meal lol. Lots of other menu items we want to try next time we're here including the crispy garlic riblets and the pork belly. We also wanted to try the sticky mango rice but we were too full from our meal! This is a great restaurant - check it out!

The staff was also incredibly friendly, attentive, and accommodating throughout our meal. We ordered some of our usual Thai favorites. While everything was good, I did feel like some of the dishes were missing the bold flavors I'm used to. The soup, in particular, wasn't quite what I expected, it tasted like the broth may have been boxed or just made very different. That said, the shrimp in the coconut was unique and absolutely delicious. A few of the other dishes were just okay. Even though the food wasn't quite as flavorful as we had hoped, the ambiance and excellent service made for an enjoyable dining experience. It may have just been an off day or simply not the style of Thai food we're used to. I'd still recommend giving it a try, especially if you're looking for a restaurant with wonderful hospitality.

I ordered the pad woon sen for myself, and the papaya salad for the hubby, along with the curry puffs. The noodles were super dry for some reason, which I have not experienced with other restaurants.

I ordered the salad again, plus the green curry (spice level 3) and the veggie spring rolls. Another disappointment, unfortunately. I like spicy food, but this "3" was more like "8". The spring rolls weren't rolled correctly, so one was literally split, with the lettuce falling out of it. After two tries, I won't keep trying it. What a bummer.

It's veggie tempura salad! Only one type of veggie was used to tempura with, it's some kind of high-watter content veggie. It's a weird choice to batter and deep fry. The dish was tossed with peanut dressing which made the entire dish tasted like a plate of greasy soggy batter. The presentation of the dish was good, but just didn't taste good. Each ingredient is good by itself, but together is a bad combo. I also ordered curry fried rice, the taste of spices was good, but lack of salt. It also came with a dip that's extremely sweet, I suppose it was for the couple carrot strings on the side? I think I would still return to try different dishes next time, but not a fan of the food ordered during this visit.

When I continued to plead my case to the cashier, she asked the owner who also refused to accept the Ad Pages App coupon.
