Sarocha Thai Restaurant in Great Bend

We just returned home from a weekend trip to Great Bend, KS. Our mission was birding and after a day at Cheyenne Bottoms, we were hungry! Thankfully, we found Sarocha. What a great restaurant! In fact, we went back both nights because we loved it so much. And the price was GREAT and the service very prompt and accommodating. We had their Spring Rolls (beautifully presented and delicious), flavorful soup (Tom Yum Kung), several noodle dishes (yumm!!!), and Massamum Curry (wonderful). What a wonderful find in Great Bend! We will be back!

Went in to eat, was told they don't have enough help in the slow hours so they offered me togo. Heck yeah! When another man came in to eat but was told the same thing, he threw the biggest Kevin fit I've ever seen a grown man throw. The Lady who was working was so kind and courteous to this very rude man. He said he is wasting time on his lunch break standing here talking to her. Then he proceded to sit in his truck for 10 minutes to write a review. Logic, am I right?

It’s nice to have a restaurant in Great Bend with a variety of food. We came in for lunch on a weekday and were the only customers when we entered, but quite a few people showed up while we were eating.

We ordered the Pad Thai, Cashew Nut with Chicken, and Panang Curry with Tofu. All of the dishes were delicious and had large portions. There was also the option to order from the lunch menu, which included an egg roll and a bowl of the soup of the day along with the main meal. It did note on the menu that if you get the lunch special for takeout it does not come with soup. There were five different spice levels available ranging from mild to Thai spicy. Unfortunately, we think the spice levels of two of our dishes were mixed up. The Pad Thai was ordered as a level three spice and seemingly had no spice and the Cashew Nut Chicken was ordered as a level one spice and was “very spicy” for a mild spice level. Additionally, the Cashew Nut was quite skimpy in terms of the amount of chicken, but had lots of vegetables (especially onion) and was very saucy.

Other than that, all of the food was good. Service was also quite quick and the waitress was incredibly nice and attentive. The interior of the restaurant was clean and you definitely receive a good amount of food for the price. I would definitely like to come back and try some of the other dishes!

This local family owned authentic Thai restaurant has become one of my favorite spots for a casual, reliably good meal. The atmosphere is simple and relaxed, and the staff is friendly without being overbearing. It feels like the kind of place where regulars are known by name, and newcomers are still treated well.

The food is consistently delicious, and the portions are generous. This is comfort food. The Pad Thai is the standout dish for me—easily some of the best I’ve had. The noodles are cooked just right, the sauce has a good balance of tang and sweetness, and the dish doesn’t rely on excessive oil or sugar to make it taste good. It’s straightforward, well-seasoned, and exactly what I want when I order Pad Thai.

Other dishes hold their own, too. The mango curry is so unique and has a nice kick without being overly spicy. The fried rice is simple but flavorful, and the appetizers, especially the spring rolls, make for an easy add-on if you’re sharing plates.

Overall, it’s the kind of restaurant that doesn’t need to brag. The food speaks for itself, the prices are reasonable, and everything feels thoughtfully made. If you’re looking for good Thai food or just a beautiful, wholesome home cooked meal, this is a great place to go.

I was greeted and seated immediately upon arrival. Ordered pot stickers to start. Came out hot, fried to perfection and very flavorful, especially with the included sauce. Phō was great. Rice noodles were good, beef was perfect. Bean sprouts, lime and jalapeños were a very good addition. Broth was amazing. Very flavorful and hot. Also had a la carte kung pao chicken. It had a perfect mix of chicken, red and green bell pepper, onions, carrots, water chestnuts, and peanuts. Lots of flavor. The sauce was good. The steamed rice was soft but not mush and went well with the dish.

This place is very good. I’d say it deserves more than 5 stars, especially being in small town mid America. Will definitely be back and definitely recommend anyone eat here.

Anyone who follows me knows how much I love Thai food. The food was not bad. Pad Thai was decent. The chicken today however did nothing for me very thin sliced fried instead of grilled and came out as four pieces instead of 5 as stated on the menu meat was tough very thin if I were to go back I would try something different. Overall not bad but not great either.

They use to have the best orange chicke and then they changed their recipe. The new recipe is not the greatest. I also use to love, love their Pho but its never consistent. The noodles are different all the time and the flavor seems different everytime I order it. Wish they would bring back the old recipes. Not sure if they changed owners or just chefs.

Hard to believe it's Chinese food. It's got to be the worst Cooks from China or Thailand. Plenty of restaurants down the road, I don't know why this one has four+ stars.
