As others have mentioned, this is kind of a quick casual Thai place. Give your order and pay at the register, and they call your name when it’s ready. One interesting twist is that they offer bar service, but it’s a separate check from the food. We sampled a Thai beer (Singha, the country’s most popular), but full bar is available if you want something else. For the dining portion, my partner and I tried several dishes, with fairly consistent success. The mango salad to share (as opposed to a side salad) was nice, with julienned green mango and a mild dressing along with various greens. We also had a cup of tom kha kai (spicy and sour chicken coconut soup), and it was fantastic. Great flavor and nice spice, with big chicken pieces. My entree was the beef panang curry, which featured a rich, substantial red curry sauce with large, tender beef pieces over rice. We ended up kind of competing for the beef pieces in this one, it was SO good. Our other entree was the kra pao, with ground pork cooked to almost crispy, basil, bell peppers, onion, chili paste, and a fried egg. This dish was decidedly spicy, and was a very, very good dish. We ended up taking home leftovers (pro tip: consider getting the rice on the side if you plan to do this, so it won’t soak up the sauce overnight) and it was delicious the next day as well. This was definitely a great meal, and we’ll be back for more.

Thai Kitchen Cuisine – Menu with Prices – 1400 Village Square Blvd #114, Tallahassee

One cuisine I have always felt Tallahassee was short of is Thai food, and great Thai at that. I went to the Thai Kitchen for lunch earlier this year. The restaurant has a quaint little setup in the corner by Home Goods. The staff are very friendly. At first, I was a little nervous about expectations because it wasn’t that busy, but I was definitely left not disappointed. Thai Kitchen has a nice selection of dishes to choose from and for the lunch selection, you get a house salad with ginger dressing or soup. I went for the house salad. Their ginger dressing is one of the best homemade dressings I’ve ever had! It was incredibly fresh and tasted as though the ginger was just ground up before the salad was served. For my entree, I ordered the Massaman Curry. This curry dish is not spicy and has a base of potatoes topped with onion and peanuts. The portion size was great and the dish was very pleasing. In addition, the cost for lunch is under $10, which is super affordable compared to other restaurants that leave you paying $10-20 even just for lunch. I was very pleased with my experience and knew I would make it back again. I went back for lunch a few weeks ago and had another equally amazing experience. I definitely could not resist the side salad with ginger dressing, which was just as great as the first time. I ordered the Basil Fried Rice with chicken. The dish consisted of fried jasmine rice, chicken, egg, onion, carrots, red and green pepper, green onion, Thai basil leaves and a spicy basil sauce. This dish definitely has a kick but it also has a bunch of wonderful flavors going on all at one time. In my opinion, this dish was even better than the Massaman Curry. The chef definitely does not skimp on portions, so I was able to get two lunches from one dish and at a super low cost of less than $10. Overall, I think that Thai Kitchen is a great local restaurant and I have no doubt that it will continue its success. I would highly recommend them!

Tuptim Thai Cuisine Menu with Prices 4896 Washtenaw Ave, Ypsilanti

Me and my husband both are huge fan of Thai cuisine. After leaving San Diego we never got many good Thai place to eat in Michigan, specially in Ann Arbor. Tuptim Thai Cuisine restaurant is just near my house but still I was reliant to try this place reading the reviews. Today at lunch I took my chances and went there. It wasn’t a bad experience but not a very good one either. They do have plenty of free parking space both sides of the restaurant. As soon I walked in I was seated by a very serious man. Both the servers one man and woman were nice to me, they came to ask if everything was ok but none of them smiled for once. Anyway back to the main thing – food. I am a huge huge fan of Penang Curr duck. As it was my first time there I wanted to order something safer. So I ordered Penang curry chicken. It came with a side vegetable tofu soup and one spring roll. The soup was simple yet fresh. The spring roll was ok. I never find much to compliment a spring roll as it has literally nothing inside of it. The curry on the other hand wasn’t good. It was simply pale. One of the main reasons I love Penang curry because of its coconut sauce which should always has a sweeter taste to it. In this case it was more towards spicy and paler side. Still it was ok but the vegetables they put in that curry was simply taken out from frozen bag and put it in there. Green peas, beans and carrots. The whole packaged vegetables they just threw in that curry. I couldn’t even eat my vegetables. I was very hungry when the food came. Seeing the portion of the rice I was thinking that I might have to order more but at the end I couldn’t eat the rice because the entire curry was so bland. I just picked up the chicken pieces and ate. The pricing is good. Specially with their quality of food I think it’s justified. I will probably go back again to try few more dishes and see if my idea of the place changes or not. This place is not terribly bad. I will be back I want to update my review based on my recent experience in this place. Last night me and my husband went there for dinner. We went around 6:30 pm and the place was quite full. The service this time was pleasant and prompt. Atmosphere was nice. We ordered Thai chicken fried rice and chicken Penang curry. The curry came with white rice on the side. I must say the food was good and huge portion. Specially the fried rice was excellent and very large portion. Usually around dinner time my husband’s appetite is skyrocketing. And he loves eating rice. So we have to order tons of rice. Yesterday also we were thinking we might have to order more rice but at the end we happily shared that one plate. In each bite we got huge size chicken. It was really well prepared dish. Although the curry on the other hand has the same problem I faced last time. They don’t prepare their veggies and chicken separately at all. The broth of the curry was really flavorful this time but the chicken was extremely blunt and flavorless. If they could have sautéed the chicken little bit before putting it into the curry it would have been a great dish. May be I am this critical about these preparations because I keep on comparing them with my west coast experience. We ended our dinner with their mango sticky rice and I must say that is one of the best mango sticky rice dish I have eaten in long time. It was cooked to perfection. Though I am not fully happy the way they cook their curry but I will still go there and experiment more new dishes along with excellent mango sticky rice.

Magic Thailand Restaurant – Menu with Prices – 842 Logan Ave, Winnipeg

Yum, yum, yum! Don’t let the location and the exterior fool you – the inside is packed with diners and the food is great! I’ve been looking for another Thai place to go to since Vanxai’s on St. Mary’s has been disappointing me in the last few visits. I haven’t been back to Magic Thailand in years because the location isn’t the most convenient. It is located in an industrial area and the exterior is not much to be desired but inside, the restaurant has been recently renovated. Nothing amazing, but it’s warm, bright and inviting with lots of tables inside to seat couples to large groups. As with most Thai places you can order your food from a heat scale from 1-10. I have a high heat tolerance for spicy foods so here a 5 is true mid-range for someone who eats spicy food. I tried everything at a 5 as the other people eating with me didn’t eat that spicy. Personally, I would order about a 7 for a real nice kick. For others who don’t eat spicy, I would suggest a 2 or 3. The Thai Chicken Skewers ($8.50 for 3) and it comes with a spicy peanut sauce. Not my fave appy as it’s just grilled chicken breast that didn’t have much flavour on it’s own so you have to rely on the peanut sauce which was very yum. For this price, I wouldn’t order it again as I’d rather get another entree dish to share instead. I really liked their “pad thai” with shrimp which was $10.50 and it comes with a side of bean sprouts. At a level 5, the spiciness definitely came through so I’d keep this as a 5. Great flavour in the pad thai mix. The green coconut curry stir fry with chicken ($9.50) had lots of vegetables in the creamy coconut sauce. Not the best green curry I’ve had but it was good. At a level 5 spice, it was okay, I’d definitely up it to a 7 or 8 as the heat gets a bit lost in the sauce. The Matsaman – potato, onions, red peppers, basil, peanuts with chicken ($10.50) is a great dish if you like more peanut flavour and heartiness of potatoes. Food service is fast but table side service is okay as you kind of have to flag down people to get more things. Overall, great place for Thai food!

Thai Kitchen Temecula – Menu with Prices – 27520 Ynez Rd STE C1, Temecula

BEST THAI RESTAURANT EVER. NOT GOING ANYWHERE ELSE FOR THAI FOOD OTHER THAN THIS PLACE! Food was excellent and service was superb! We had the Thai Iced Tea, Crab Fried Rice, Tofu Yellow Curry, Thai Royal Noodles, Tom Kha, Chicken Teriyaki and Mango Sticky Rice! Everything was delicious and Thai Iced Tea was buy one get one free! You can ask them to make your thai iced tea less sweet if you want to btw. My favorite would be the Tom Kha, it’s the best I’ve had. The perfect balance between, sweet, sour, spicy, salty and creamy. My next favorite would be the crab fried rice. No words for it, it’s that good. The yellow curry is absolutely perfect with rice, whether it’s white or brown. Lastly, the Mango Sticky rice was the perfect way to end dinner if you want something not too sweet. I may be saying perfect too much throughout this review but it is what it is and you won’t regret dining/eating here. 100% will recommend to anyone even if you haven’t had thai food.

The Similans Thai Eatery – Menu with Prices – 13005 Lee Jackson Memorial Hwy, Fairfax

I had my first taste of Thai food 15 years ago: Pad See Ew with Beef at a Thai chain (which will remain unnamed), and my taste buds did somersaults at the first bite. But after 15 years of trying Thai here and trying it there, it began to taste about the same. Then came Similans. The best Thai I’ve had in years! On a recent snowy day, we ordered delivery – Pad See Ew with beef (can you tell this is my standard?), Hawaiian Fried Rice, Crispy Rolls, and Party Wings. Within an hour, the food was at our door and everything tasted fresh, hot, and absolutely delicious. The Pad See Ew is some of the best I’ve had in years. Every ingredient – rice noodles, Chinese broccoli, egg, and beef strips – is cooked perfectly on its own and together, the dish comes together beautifully. As many times as I’ve had this dish, it’d been a long time since I’d enjoyed like that. A must! The Hawaiian Fried Rice was a really nice surprise. The curry was light, not at all overpowering, which was important for a rice dish that already has a lot going on, packed with chicken, shrimp, pineapples, cashews, and veggies. A wonderful, comfort dish. The crispy rolls were as good as any you’d find elsewhere, but the wings were pretty special – crispy skin, tender meat, slathered in a sticky sweet and spicy sauce that begs you to lick your fingers. I may have just found my new Thai obsession.

Big Mama Chims Noodle House – Menu with Prices – 905 Alley A, Columbia

This is very authentic! Truly a hidden gem. As a New Yorker, I was surprised that we were able to get such great (Northern) Thai food in Columbia, MO. I ordered the Tom Kha soup with sticky rice on the side ($2.50 for the sticky rice, but it well worth it), and my friends ordered green curry chicken rice and Pad Thai. They were all very satisfied! I also love the fact that they have the ‘spice caddy’ for every table, which includes peanuts, Thai dry chili flakes and spicy sour sauce. The Thai tea was on the sweet side and they mixed it with half and half instead of the traditional condensed milk. When the server takes your order, you’ll be asked to indicate the spicy level you’d like to have in your food, on a scale of 3 to 10: 3 being the least spicy and 10 being the most spicy. I chose 6.5 because I was told by my friend (who loves spicy food) says that 7 was pretty hot. I love my Tom Kha – it was just the right amount of spiciness and the right amount of food. The coconut milk that is part of the Tom Kha really added a great complexity to the dish. A must-try!

Thai Express – Menu with Prices – 948 S Glenstone Ave, Springfield

It was Thursday so FREE bowl of chicken rice soup which starts your meal out right. From there we went with the Spring Rolls which are always fresh and crunchy and served with very good peanut sauce and another really nice clear sauce that is just the right combination of sweet and tart. Entree were Thai Curry with beef which is wonderfully creamy with fresh veggies and of course the creaminess comes from the coconut cream that it’s made with and then you put that over a dish of of rice. Wonderful! My dining companion had the McQueary chicken and she really really likes it. Haven’t tried it yet myself so unable to give a personal review.. To drink we had the Thai tea which is almost indescribable. Better end this now because I’m drooling so much I need to go in and heat up my leftovers. Need I add that the price is right and this is one of my very favorite places to eat. Patrick is a very good host.

Thai Princess – Menu with Prices – 13036 Harbor Blvd, Garden Grove

This has to be one of the best, if not the best Thai food I have had in Orange County so far and is on point with the quality and flavor you would experience in Thai Town. In a strip mall with a main attraction being Burlington Coat Factory lies this hidden gem of a restaurant. The menu had over 100 items with pictures of each food item. Although the menu might disturb Gordon Ramsay, my dining partner and I were thrilled to be able to see all the yummy food and went on to purchase a whopping 6 items – and all of them were on point and good. We had: Papaya Salad w/ Dried Shrimp – They offer a variety of papaya salads here with different proteins, so you can pick and choose what you want. They also will cater the spice to your taste. Note: Things will sway toward spicy, so if you’re not a fan of spice, you might want to go the mild to no spice route as much as possible. We opted for medium and it was spicy in a good way! The flavors of lime, chilli and garlic complimented the crunchy, perfectly julienned papaya, while the dried shrimps added a bit of extra flavor and texture to the salad. We knew with this so nicely executed, the rest of the dishes were also going to be great. Nam Kao Tod – I was actually looking for Lao Sausage in the appetizer section when I came across this and ordered this instead. Note: For those searching for the sausage, there is #90 Sai Oar in the Specials section). I love the flavor of this because it’s such an explosion of garlic, lime, vinegar, ginger and peanuts all in one. It’s great wrapped up in cabbage or lettuce or mixed up with rice. Combination Pad Thai – Nicely executed – not on the super sweet or super saucy side. Noodles were al dente, and nothing tasted overpowering. I don’t prefer Pad Thai to taste like candy – and this had a great balance of sweet without being overwhelmingly so. Pineapple Chicken Curry – This was nicely executed. The pineapples created another profile in the curry, and it had a nice slight spice to it. I recommend this if you’re a fan of curry! Basil Beef – This is a standard dish we seem to always order when we eat Thai food and is another standard by which we judge Thai restaurants (the others being Papaya Salad and Pad Thai) and this did not disappoint! The slices of meat were a bit thicker, and seemed to be better quality, and there was a lot of basil flavor. The spice level was not too much due to the veggies, which added a bit of sweetness to the flavor of the beef and sauce. Another well executed dish. Lastly we finished our meal with Mango Sticky Rice – so, so good. I could have eaten it all in one sitting, it was so good! This is definitely going to be my go to Thai place moving forward. If you’re in the area and are on the lookout for authentic Thai food, give this Princess Thai a try!

Tom Yum Thai Restaurant – Menu with Prices – 859 Sherbrook St, Winnipeg

There aren’t a lot of restaurants near HSC hospital but this at the corner of William and Sherbrook is pretty decent for Thai food. Their spice level is serious so if you choose 7 or higher it is spicy! I had 8 once and it was pretty spicy – the kind that’s still good but you’re getting a runny nose and drinking lots of water and I have a decent heat tolerance. I’ll go with 6 and it’s just right. There’s a lunch time buffet but it doesn’t appeal to me so I usually share a few dishes with friends. The green curry, red curry, panang curry and pad thai are all decent. They all average about $10 per dish when you select chicken or beef. Service is fast and efficient.

Ubon Thai Kitchen – Menu with Prices – 900 W 7th Ave, Eugene

I heard the food truck previously Ubon THai was delicious. So was excited to try, plus had a bogo-half-off coupon. Service was very kind and upbeat and nice 8/10. Atmosphere was ok , nothing special… very spacious and spacious patio 6/10. chicken satay: 5/10. Satisfactory, had a nice marinade and tender but just ok. Arghh, the green papaya salad 1/10. The fish sauce was rotten , like really tasted like rotting fish smells. Sent back got a replacement salad ( substitute peanut sauce because dressing was made of fish sauce). Really just plain at that point. HOWEVER the server was gracious about the swap out. Green (not green) Curry : 2/10. Medium spicy. Comprised of a VERY thin tan/gray sauce of coconut water or watered down coconut milk , very bland Non-Green curry and 85% matchstick sliced bamboo shoots, 10% bell pepper and 5% onion and old green peas(the wrinkly crinkly old ones). Pad See Ew(wide noodle): 5/10. Satisfactory just under spiced, Mango Margarita sans simple syrup Cocktail 8/10. Delicious! TRUTH: Not worth the 1/2 off entree coupon, sadly disappointed and surprised that so many people like it. I prefer Tasty Thai or TaRaRin

Monsoon Siam – Menu with Prices – 2045 Atwood Ave, Madison

I came here for dinner with a friend who recommended this restaurant. Service was prompt and our server Sam was so wonderful and accommodating. The tamarind peanut sauce that came with the fresh rolls was some of the best peanut sauce I’ve ever tasted. My friend ordered the papaya salad and when the wrong one was brought out by mistake, Sam was proactive and removed it from our bill without us saying a word. The papaya salad was fresh and incredibly spicy, just the way we like it! My friend and I both ordered Pad Thai, mine with chicken and hers with tofu. My friend is vegetarian and tasted a fish flavor in her dish so asked for another one made without fish sauce. The server and cook were so nice and rectified the issue right away. We ordered mango sticky rice as a dessert but they were out of mango, so we got jackfruit instead. So delicious and so addicting! I will definitely be going back and I will recommend this Thai restaurant to everyone!

MaDee Thai Kitchen – Menu with Prices – 401 E 17th St, Costa Mesa

What Grace N. said… Best Thai food in OC. I’ve been exploring Thai food for the past 20 years. Thai food used to be authentic and hard to find. Now it’s everywhere and completely Americanized. I’ll use one of my favorite dishes as an example, Pad Krapow. Pad Krapow consists of meat such as pork, chicken, beef, and seafood stir fried with Thai holy basil and garlic. It is served with rice and topped up (optional) with fried eggs . The main seasonings are soy sauce, Thai fish sauce, oyster sauce, cane sugar, and bird’s eye chili. This dish is typically somewhat spicy due to the bird chilies. When it’s done authentically, the flavor of the basil and the garlic are dominant. Lastly the flavor works best when the pork or chicken is ground. In almost any Thai restaurant in OC this dish is sliced chicken breast in oyster sauce with no chilies and some bell pepper. If that sounds bland, it is. The food at Ma Dee is authentic Bangkok street food. Everything from the noodle dishes to the soups are amazing. It’s a hole in the wall but so good.
