Ugh - I really wanted to like this food. Perhaps I'm not used to "authentic" Thai food but there was nothing about this $42 lunch I enjoyed - to be fair, it wasn't all for me. I ordered the Khun Khao Combo appetizer and a Pad Thai. The wontons were chewy (think of a flauta vs a taquito - flour vs corn). Not sure if the wrappers were homemade and perhaps that accounted for the chewy texture instead of the crispy and crunchy texture I'm used to. The egg rolls were packed with glass noodles (I'm assuming) and very little of much else. The shrimp rolls had a similar texture like the wontons and were a bit fishy (didn't taste fresh). The Pad Thai seems old. The noodles were stuck together and there were clumps of seasoning throughout the plate. The bean sprouts were put on the bottom so they were wilted and tasted weird. The restaurant was clean service was great though - smirk.

Small, friendly Mom and Pop operation, very low-key, good Thai food and very good Thai desserts and pastries.

This was the worst Thai food I have ever bought. They gave me what seemed to be boiled chicken. I didn't know they only accept cash so I went all the way to my bank to come back and be served garbage.

I love Thai food and usually am not able to find amazing Pad Thai like I was able to find here. Eating Thai food at different places in the valley has made my taste very picky, and this is one of the spots that I really like.

Absolutely delicious Thai food! I've been coming here for over 30 years and the food is consistently good. Tonight I picked up Pad Thai, Ginger Chicken, and Prik King Shrimp for dinner. My husband and I had plenty to eat and there's leftovers for lunch tomorrow. If you're at Kaiser Panorama City, Khun Kao is right around the corner!
