Ordered Tom Kha soup- SO GOOD!!! Many vegetarian options, and friendly waitstaff. Portions are super generous for very fair prices.
First time been there,the food is Delicious and good service! I will be back!
I love Thai food and sometimes finding the perfect creamy Tom yum soup is difficult in the more suburb area. Glad I bumped into this spot right in the suburbs. Their creamy tom yum soup is amazing. Sour, sweet, coconutty. Perfect amounts of mushrooms, protein and surprise bites of cilantro. I’m ordering a Pad Thai to go. Can’t wait to try it later. I’m definitely a returning customer!
Amazing every time!! This is by far our hands down favorite thai place in the cities!! Everything on their menu is fabulous!
Lovely local joint with fresh offerings. Plenty of vegetarian and vegan options
Love the Thai food at this restaurant. Have visited multiple times and have never been disappointed. The service is always excellent and prices are good. Beware that if you order the food spicy, it will be good and hot. My lips were burning a good 30 minutes after finishing, which is the way Thai food should be prepared and the way I like it. They do offer dishes that are not spicy as well. Restaurant is very clean and has nice booths.
My friend and I both had the Pad Kee Mao. Mine was with chicken, hers was vegan with mock duck. Also had spring rolls with peanut sauce, cream cheese rolls, wine and Prosecco. Everything was excellent!
Large restaurant. Fills up a third around dinner time. Nice atmosphere when I visited. Choices are typical for Thai and nothing sounded nor looked bad. Egg rolls were smaller, but packed with meat and crispy. They didn't last long. Pad Thai was good. Noodles were a smidge under al dente but still good. It becomes a preference thing at that point. Sauce was tasty but I could have had a half cup more mixed in to even it out across the dish better. I'll be going back to try a few other things nonetheless as it was delicious. Good spread of beers to choose from and they bring a cold glass with it.
Came in for the first time to try "King and I Thai." I ordered the boat noodles and it was absolutely delicious!!! The broth was very flavorful and came with a very generous portion of noodles. I just wished it came with a bit more sliced beef and meatballs. The service was fast and friendly, food came out within about a 5-8 minutes. I'd highly recommend anyone to try this restaurant.
We tried today this restaurant food and had a great experience. The food was fresh, flavorful, and nicely presented. The chicken satay was perfectly grilled and tender, and the fried rice and seafood dish were well-balanced with good taste. The spring rolls were crispy and delicious. Overall, everything tasted authentic and satisfying. The service was friendly, and the atmosphere was comfortable. Definitely a place worth visiting again!”
