Walking into Kitchen 21 feels like walking into the kitchen of a beloved family member, warm, enticing, and welcoming. Every customer, whether for carryout or dining in, is greeted with cheerful enthusiasm. The wide selection of appetizers, the variety of authentic dishes, and the array of Pho options make the menu extensive, but all the wait staff, chefs, and even the Owner are happy to answer questions and make suggestions, at your request. The prices and portions are generous, and I have never left the restaurant feeling hungry or unhappy with my meal. They are currently working to expand the menu further. Their Pho broth is hands-down the best I've ever had. The layers of flavor, the subtlety and complexity, are next level. Be sure to stop in to Kitchen 21 for your next Thai or Vietnamese craving. You will not be disappointed!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Kitchen 21 is absolutely impressive. The Thai flavors are authentic, rich, and made with real care. I ordered the pho, and it was incredible fresh ingredients, a comforting broth, and generous portions that hit the spot perfectly. The service was warm and welcoming, and the entire place feels clean and inviting.
If you love Thai food or a good bowl of pho, this place is a must-try.

The food was good, the service a little slow but okay. The fish tank, however, was very dirty. I felt bad for the fish.

Delicious food, quality kind service, intimate & comfy atmosphere.
I ordered the chicken pad Thai w/chicken potstickers and it was all delicious. Service was attentive and food came out quickly. They have great lunch specials! Best for groups of 4 or less. I highly recommend!

Very good food and excellent service. Ordered the stir fry with spicy chicken, perfectly cooked and presentation excellent but slightly heavy on the anise seasoning but still very good.

It’s not your typical fried chicken wing, taste like it was marinated with fermented bean curd, popular marinate originated from Asia. It’s delicious .

Great place for Pho. It has enough other foods too for those who are not as adventurous.

Kitchen 21 Thai & Pho is a true culinary gem, offering a fantastic dining experience with food that is nothing short of amazing. The flavors are vibrant, and the presentation of each dish is a work of art.

On a recent visit, the Crab Rangoon was a delightful start—crispy and filled with a savory, creamy mixture. For the main courses, both the Chicken Red Curry and the Shrimp Pad See Ew were absolute standouts. The Red Curry was rich and perfectly spiced, while the Pad See Ew had that wonderful, smoky flavor and fresh ingredients. These dishes alone make the restaurant a must-visit, and I can easily see this becoming my go-to for Thai food whenever I'm in the area.

My only disappointment was that they were out of an appetizer we were looking forward to, which was a minor hiccup but notable. Additionally, while the food was impeccable, a small detail I noticed was that the fish tank could use a good cleaning, as it appeared murky.

Despite these minor issues, the incredible quality of the food and the overall experience were fantastic. The taste and presentation are what truly matter, and Kitchen 21 delivers on both counts in a big way. I highly recommend it for anyone who loves authentic and delicious Thai cuisine.

Uhhhhh so my partner and I got pho from here, the broth was really good, but there was literally no meat, and I got braised beef and he got rare steak strips. It didn’t seem like they left it out on purpose, and I’m well aware accidents happen, but come on man. At the end of the day it was just super expensive broth and noodles.

Long wait but well worth it. We came on Friday around 6pm. Food came out at 7pm. Amazing basil fried rice with beef and chicken. The flavor of the yellow curry with seafood was robust and tasted like it came straight from Thailand. Fresh shrimp rolls and crab rangoons were also good. Great peanut sauce. Will definitely return.
