4/24/25 12:30 p.m. Dine-in The food is delicious!!! Large portions for a great price and the service is great. The staff was really friendly and quick as well. It's a small establishment, but it's kept very clean and organized. We can't wait to try more of the menu!
Thai Kitchen is where it's at. The chicken gyoza dumplings, Thai glazed chicken, & yellow fried rice were amazing! I went with spice level 1 as it was my first time here, but next visit I think I'll try level 2. The woman behind the counter had excellent service.
Some very good Thai food. I had the phad Thai with chicken and my wife had the pineapple fried rice. Both were excellent and priced well
Fast service, dine in or take out. Really good food. Friendly staff willing to accomadate most needs. Semi-fast food/self service theme going. If you go here expect great food and friendly service. The food is priced at a reasonable amount however additional items like combo meals can add up quickly. Theres a wide selection of curry, fried rice, noodles, soups, salads, that are all available. They have some sodas and teas as well as free water and jasmine tea. The best drink is the thai milk tea which is worth every penny.
This place has a lot of potential but needs help. First, having customers stand while ordering and then asking - before they have any service - whether they want to leave a 18% or 20% tip is pretty crazy. Thats not a tip, thats a donation. And those devices that make it obvious you're leaving a "custom" tip make me not want to go back. Tips are called gratuities for a reason - they were devised as a way for customers to express their gratitude for truly exceptional service. Today they are a means to pay employees whom the boss doesnt want to pay. The selection is good, the prices are high given the atmosphere, the atmosphere is austere and largely self serve (another reason a 15-20% tip is absurd). And the food is just OK. Too salty, and the spices are not balanced like they should be. There is an art to balancing Thai (and Indian) spices and the chef has too much confidence and not enough experience to get it right. Assuming the original owners are still there, they should retrain the cooks.
Sad to not give a 5 star review but I was a bit disappointed by my food last night. I asked for a 1 spice level, as I do at every other Thai or Indian food place I go, and the food I got last night was so spicy I couldn’t finish it, and it upset my stomach. I know it’s not just me being wimpy, because my boyfriend who can handle a lot more than I can felt the same. The restaurant was also so cold I never took my coat off. However the front desk girl was very friendly and I loved that they had self-serve water and togo wares station, with free jasmine tea! Food was otherwise delicious and servings felt ample, I just wish the spice level was a practical low level, but rather that heat was something I’d expect out of the average level 3.
We went for a group lunch and everyone ordered separately. Although the price was average but the type of service is kind of fast food type. The food I tried is really bad in taste. Not even authentic taste. I ordered one turmeric fried rice and fried dumplings. My fried rice almost taste like turmeric. Other things I tried are really bad including fried dumplings.
