Everything was so good!

Great food. 5 stars.
The HOT level was very spicy just heads up. Great service.
The pad Thai and the sushi are chefs kiss.

Had a great dinner out with a group of friends last night. I didn't catch the waitresses name, but she was great and a huge highlight in the evening.

The food was good too. I was happy with my crunchy sushi roll and the calimari was a fantastic sharable dish, although I did eat most of it myself.

I would have liked to have tried the Thai dishes but I really wanted sushi. So I guess I have a reason to go back next time I visit KC.

I have been here a couple of times it’s usually ok not my favorite place. Today I had it and there was hair in my rice and I had to take my appetizer back because it wasn’t fresh. I will not be returning.

Had a great lunch here! Food was flavorful and plentiful. Prices are still affordable despite all the other restaurants being so expensive. The staff was warm and welcoming. Parking was free at the market across the street.

We had the Tom Kha Soup Bowl with Chicken, spring roll sampler, and Shrimp Pad Thai. The only thing I'd say could improve is the crispy rolls were a bit greasy, and the chicken was tough. Otherwise, great experience and will definitely go back again for more!

I love Phikul Thai Bistro!

Dietary restrictions: The weekend waitress and sushi chef are very knowledgeable about gluten free! They also have some vegetarian options. They primarily use a Thai gf soy sauce that makes a lot of their dishes naturally gluten free! It’s so awesome to get to eat all the amazing food.

Love this place! Have always enjoyed their Thai but they recently rolled out additional sushi menu items and a great cocktail list! Service is always very attentive and the new menu items are awesome as the river market community needed sushi in the neighborhood!

Had samuai roll (beautiful presentation and quite tasty!), seaweed salad (nice touch with avocado), miso soup (amazing) and the Thai 75(will crave this!!!!) Menu attached.

Food is great! The restaurant itself is very quiet and gives off a sterile vibe.

I'm lao and I'm traveling. The food was a warm hug reminding me of my grandmother's (she does it better, but I'm biased). I highly recommend the laab! I had it with medium spice. So beautifully flavorful yet light.

Love the food, but service leaves something to be desired. Ordered takeout using their website and drove to the restaurant only for them to tell me that I ordered too close to closing (15 minutes before they stopped taking orders) and that I could order the next day. Lost a repeat customer. Very disappointed. Was my go to spot.

If you’re visiting KC, dine at Phikul!! If you’re from here and haven’t been yet, DRIVE to Phikul immediately. It is a core Thai restaurant located in the river market. And the Pad Sew Eaew with chicken hits every time! The staff is the sweetest and exceptionally friendly. To describe Phikul in three words: comforting, tasty, and lively!
