Omg. This place is SOOOOOO good. The service is GREAT. It’s clean. A small little place to get together. Good drinks, good dessert. 100% recommend ! Pictured prick khing chicken. I will forever crave this. If you have ever had REAL spicy orange chicken from a real sit down Chinese restaurant… this is 100xs better

The food was so good!!! Yes, it is a small, simple dining room (with some outdoor seating as well), but this is my favorite kind of place. It is not fancy but the service is excellent and the food is amazing. In my opinion, it is so much better than some of the more popular Thai restaurants in town. The prices are very reasonable as well. They did not have the mango sticky rice when we were there. Just an excuse to go back again soon! I saw a lot of people picking up take out...

I had a great experience at Kapow Thai Street Food.

Food (5/5): The Basil Veg Fried Rice was perfect—cooked just right with great flavor. The Khao Soi (vegetarian soup) had crispy noodles and was tasty, though a bit on the sweeter side for my preference (4/5). The Hot Saki was also excellent.

Service (5/5): Friendly, attentive, and quick—everything you’d want.

Ambiance (3.5/5): Simple and casual, but a few flies inside...
