Khun-Daeng Thai Kitchen

A little pricey, otherwise I'd give this place 4 stars... The food is pretty good. I got the yellow curry chicken and for the price the portion was smaller than any other place I've been. But it was tasty and great to have a good Thai restaurant in the area. The woman working there is a little rough around the edges- I don't think she smiled once but she wasn't mean just.... Just direct, to the point and we got our food quickly with no issues. I hope, however, they check their yelp reviews and drop their dish prices a $1 or $2. Otherwise this would be a restaurant we would frequent more often.

I've always had great experiences at Khun Daeng, but it had been several years since I had been there until we went to dinner last Friday night.  It's off the beaten path in Mishawaka in a small, but charming little building.  It was quiet for a Friday night (maybe since it was Easter weekend) and there were only two other tables while we were there.

Service was great and the waitress was engaging.  She knew we weren't regulars (although we probably will be now) and was very helpful.

We ordered the fresh spring rolls and Thai dumplings as appetizers.  The spring rolls were delicious and the homemade peanut sauce had the perfect amount of kick.  The dumplings were good too; however, the fresh garlic was a little over powering to us.

Our entrees included the Prince of the Wild Jungle (2 out of 5 on the spice level) and the Simply Chicken Noodles (3 out of 5 on the spice level).  Both had the perfect amount of heat and the noodles had a nice smokiness to them.  The dishes were wonderful and we would order again.  The menu is large and the chef is very accommodating with special requests.

I've heard great thing about the desserts, but we were too full to try.  Everything was very reasonably priced - dinner including two appetizers, two entrees and three beers with tip was $50.

Tasty food, extremely spicy, probably 30% more expensive than Dao in Chicago (the gold standard by which I judge every Thai restaurant).
