Kob Jai Pho and Thai Restaurant

Good Thai food, wish the drunken noodles were a little spicier

Staff were so nice and accommodating. I was celebrating my birthday. I had an amazing time with family and the food was delicious.

I have to give this place 5 stars, even though I didn’t love my own dish.

The issue honestly came down to spice level. I asked for my food “Thai Hot,” and at most Thai restaurants that usually means they know I want it way beyond the normal spice scale. When my dish came out mild, I was disappointed. It was my first time here.

To be fair, they offered to remake it, but I didn’t want to wait for them to remake it. One of the owners came over personally and genuinely did everything he could to make it right. He was patient, friendly, and accommodating the entire time.

We talked for a while, and he explained exactly what to ask for next time. And honestly, he’s right. Every Thai restaurant has its own version of “Thai Hot,” and there’s usually a learning curve. Plus, I'm sure they don't want to make it to hot and upset a customer, so they rather go down a level. It often takes a visit or two to figure out how they interpret spice levels. I didn’t really give them that grace initially, and that’s on me.

Before leaving, I also met the other owner (his wife) and their son. All incredibly nice people. They even gave us fried ice cream on the house, and it was honestly the best fried ice cream I’ve ever had.

My son’s dish was excellent, and even though mine missed the mark for me personally, the quality of the food was clearly there. I’m confident that now that we understand each other on the spice level, it’ll be perfect next time.

The restaurant was busy, but the food still came out quickly, and despite everything going on, they still took the time to come talk to me and make sure we were taken care of. Great people, great atmosphere, and a place that clearly cares about its customers.

On our way back to Maryland from Boston, we stopped at this Thai restaurant and were pleasantly surprised. We enjoyed almost every dish we ordered.

The fried green beans were just okay, but everything else was excellent.

The pho was absolutely delicious, and the fried rice was very good—be sure to ask for it spicy if you enjoy some heat. Spice lovers will definitely appreciate it!

Portions are always large so good value for the price, and best drunken noodles I've ever had, pro tip... Get pork.

The issue honestly came down to spice level. I asked for my food “Thai Hot,” and at most Thai restaurants that usually means they know I want it way beyond the normal spice scale. When my dish came out mild, I was disappointed because spice is a huge part of the experience for me. It was my first time here, and I had pretty high expectations.

To be fair, I probably (definitely) got a little bratty about it not being spicy enough, and I didn’t want to wait for them to remake it. One of the owners came over personally and genuinely did everything he could to make it right. He was patient, friendly, and accommodating the entire time, even though I admittedly had a bit of an attitude.

Food is always amazing each time it’s no surprise. Vegetable rolls, amazing
My husband gets the pineapple rice with crispy chicken and I always get the mango rice with crispy chicken. We always look forward to coming here. We’ve tried a different Thai restaurant in Rocky Hill. Unfortunately, taste like garbage this place however it’s always hot, flavorful, and atmosphere is relaxing. I meant to put this post up last week and we ended up getting the Uber eats takeout from them today which was amazing. They just need to add the mango rice with crispy chicken. I ended up sharing with my husband they give you enough portions for that. Thank you for providing a quality meals. We always leave ready for a nap as it really hits the spot. Please keep up the hard work… ❤️❤️❤️❤️
