By far my most favourite restaurant in Wichita… it’s a little hole in the wall so you already know you are getting something good. The owner is always so sweet. It’s become tradition to come by at least once a week

Started coming here a bit back, absolutely the best curry I've ever had! The flavors are great the spice level can be adjusted to perfection. 10/10 cannot recommend enough!

The restaurant is in an industrial section of town and the atmosphere is more spartan than fancy, but the Phó Dãc Biêt and Vietnamese Spring Rolls were absolutely wonderful!

I really don’t even know how to begin. This place is very nearby our home so my husband and I came in around 7:15. They close at 8pm, but the restaurant was still very full so we sat down to order. They have one waiter (bless his heart) he seemed very stressed and was getting screamed at by whoever was cooking in the kitchen. It was very uncomfortable. The woman’s voice coming from the kitchen was stressed/upset and she was telling the waiter they were out of everything and couldn’t make any food. My husband and I had already ordered, and we felt very uncomfortable as there is no background noise or music in the restaurant so we and other customers could hear her yelling in the back. Everyone has their bad days, but if you don’t want to be open, or serving food at a certain time why stay open?
The server kept it together even though he was getting totally screamed out, we even heard a glass shatter in the back and he came out shaking and fearful.
All in all the curries were good, but when our food came out the curry was a super small portion with a tiny tiny tiny portion of rice, and the crab rangoons we had ordered did not get made because the woman in the kitchen clearly wanted to close more than she wanted to make sure the customers still in the restaurant were taken care of. We heard her yelling at our waiter saying that she had already made our crab rangoons, and that “he brought them to the wrong table” which he did not. She just didn’t want to make them. So then the waiter (was forced) to ask us “if we still wanted them” which we replied “it’s ok” because I didn’t want the waiter to deal with anymore verbal abuse.
So, we walked out of the restaurant not being able to finish our meals that we paid FULL PRICE FOR, because the woman in the kitchen was screaming and getting mad that she had to make any food at all. We received no crab rangoons, and the Thai iced tea— she screamed about that to the waiter to. It was like she was irritated at all to serve any food. Again, nobody is forcing this restaurant to be open.
I want to emphasize that the waiter did an immaculate job because if that was me I would have walked out of there. Food is ok, but wow to treat your worker in that way and to do it so loudly? Inexcusable. I don’t feel like you should choose to be open until 8pm and get mad that customers want to give YOU business around 7:15pm. We both left incredibly uncomfortable and so sad for the poor waiter who was being screamed at and we heard a glass break! It sounded like it was thrown angrily.
Really sad and a poor way to act. I wanted to love this place and the food is good, but not good enough to listen to a worker being straight up abused. I haven’t seen any other people write reviews about this so I really hope it was an off day. But I won’t be back. A customer shouldn’t feel like they are a burden, and the waiter’s treatment by the woman cooking in the kitchen was completely awful.

Got the red curry and yellow curry (medium+ heat level) and LOVED them! The owner/chef came out to talk with us and ask how our food was. She and the waitress were both very sweet and engaging. Can't wait to go back and try their Pad Thai and other curries!

All I can say is AMAZING FOOD!! BEST AUTHENTIC THAI FOOD IN THE CITY OF WICHITA!!
Kelly Stephens
Food is wonderful and owner is a very sweet lady! We always enjoy the fresh food! Our daughter orders no spice….I order mild and my husband ventures much further on the spice. Mild is probably medium elsewhere. Be cautious when ordering your spice! It's delicious!! ❤️❤️

Everything I tried is absolutely delicious, the flavor profile that Ban Thai offers is amazing, that's my comfort good (cozy), my energy food (spicy) and even my diet food now with her salad rolls. I don't know how she does it, but keep this flavors coming!

The chef/owner Tui (pronounced 2-E) is such a fabulous chef. This is the best Asian joint in the W! I don't even like Asian food but I do love me some BAHN TAI.
Went and had lunch with a Co-Worker and this is my new favorite place to get the freshest Thai food around. It was obvious that everything was hand made and fresh! Loved it. Plan on taking my Dad. Oh and the disclaimers they have about how hot it can be, I would advise you heed those warnings lol. The heat I ordered was right at the edge of perfectly hot, but I can see if I went one more level up it would have been a major mistake. They do it right there, I would highly recommend.

Love this place and the new Maize location is so close to us! We first visited when this location opened in Sept, and loved the big portions and higher spice levels. It's hard for my pepper-belly husband to find Thai food that's hot enough for him- well, not anymore! It is also delicious mild as well, if you're more like me. The owner is fun and you can tell really passionate about quality food. We are definitely customers for life!
