We have been dying to try this place and we finally did, it was Meh…The location and atmosphere felt like your typical unrenovated strip mall bar, but was pretty bumping with people!The service was amazing, we loved our server J.Chang who makes awesome chili oil you can buy at made in KC!We got a tom yum soup, and it was good but the portion was tiny, and spring rolls, again tiny portion and the meat inside was super dry and not flavorful, the fries were awesome!!The short rib we got was okay… the curry was amazing but the meat was not fall off the bone and actually really tough like it was cooked in a rush! The Lana platter our friends got was a rip off!! Almost $40 for basically 1 sausage and some sauces and carrots lol ?Honestly for the price point you can go get a fine dining experience at Corvino or somewhere nice with live music and awesome exotic food ! I was expecting more Waldo Thai! Let me know when you step it up and we will be back!

Ordered takeout a couple weeks ago and found a dead fish head in it. I know that this is not a part of the dish as I ordered two Pad Thai’s and only one had this fishy inclusion. Pretty disappointed in this as I ate here a few months prior, hence the reason I returned.

Savannah was our server and she was excellent! The mussaman coconut curry and braised rib was INSANE. I haven’t been here in years and was worried the food wouldn’t hold up, but this place deserves its stellar reputation.

The Peek Gai Phad Graprao (48-hour brined chicken wing) is terrible. The chicken meat is dry, so probably the quality of the food wasn't the best. The Phad Kee Mow Nua (stir-fried fresh flat rice noodle) is salty. On the other hand, I like the combination of curry, taro, and basil in a coconut yellow curry.The atmosphere of the restaurant is too dark for us to look at the food that we are eating. The table is also small, too. Last but not least, the portion size and the cost are ridiculous (expensive for a small portion), which I've never seen in any other Thai restaurant in Kansas City.
A special place with special food. We got the chud laab (pictured) from the lanna platters and it was incredible! Definitely going to come back on a special occasion and get the biggest one. Alongside this, we also got the coconut yellow curry to try as our main and it was SO delicious! We also got the miang khum appetizer and it was so fun making little leaf wraps with all the dishes of dried shrimp, ginger, nuts, lime, etc. Everything was delicious, and beautiful, a true culinary delight! Two of us split all of this and we both brought boxes home.

Loved every single dish we ordered from here. The Thai toast is a bomb. The platter I had amazing Thai sausage. Coconut crème brûlée has rich coconut flavor with sweet, soft cream with caramelized sugar scent on it. The chef was super friendly and really took her time to explain her dishes for us. This is a go-to place in Kansas city. 캔자스 시티에서 꼭 가야 되는 식당입니다. ㅈㄴ 맛있어요.

I'm Thai and the photos of food from this place made me take my American family to try Thai food during the holiday week. Parking was a little bit difficult to find. Service was slow. They were understandable maybe because of the holiday. The food options surprised me and the authentic flavor of Thai cuisine was very impressive, except Somtam which had no lime flavor included. The portion of food is very small, comparing to the price. We paid over $260 for 6 people, not including tips. Noone felt full back home but we think we paid for the experience of Thai food. I think this place is good for a party of two, not for a big group.

A must visit in KC! best crab rangoons & curry I’ve had in my life. The authentic food and warm staff (James and Pam) made this place feel like home. We dined family style and everything we had was phenomenal but the standouts were:-Tiger cry beef-Pumpkin curry-Seafood curry-Drunken noodles-Pad Thai-Coconut custard
Delicious authentic northern Thai food. Great service. We ordered Miang Khum, Seu Rong Hai, Chud Nam Prik, Laab Moo Kua, Tum Kanoon, Garlic Fried Rice and Coconut Custard. We will definitely come back here next time we visit Kansas City.
