Portions are very small especially by Midwest standards, so it can get fairly pricey if you have a big appetite.
Anything over 5 on heat scale is pretty much off the chart for American palates, you have been warned. I made the fatal mistake of sampling my korean friends dish which was level 10 which caused my nose to run uncontrollably and sweat like a pig which continued because I ordered level 8
Food tastes good and is probably the best thai food I've had outside of Hawaii, though in the grand scheme of things its just ok.
The water they serve is very good and could easily pass as water from Hawaii.
Confession. I expected to be disappointed when I looked at the contents of my take home bag.
I ordered the spicy noodles and some Crab Rangoon.
Although I didn't eat in, I did do carry out. The dine in area is somewhat dineresqe (mainly because of the counter with old style swivel chairs).
There is also an improvised baby play room in view of the dining room next to the kitchen (kid present and playing with toys).
But that aside. The food was good. Could there have been a few more Crab Rangoon in my order for the price? Sure.
But the Spicy Noodles were just as I had hoped. Although the texture was a little off.
I'll be back.
Pud Thai
I am certainly no expert on Thai food. Â This restaurant seems okay to me though and is a good deal price-wise. Â I had the Pud Thai Chicken and it was just fine. Â My wife got the Fish Curry. She liked hers too. Â They have remodeled a bit since the last time I was in there. Â Watch your head when it comes to the lights suspended from the ceiling. Â I banged my head a good one by not doing so. Â Fried spring roll appetizers were good, but came out with the main course.
Thai Kitchen is my go-to for a fun dinner. Â Pud Phet, Green Curry Udon, and Mee Krop are always awesome, but while not exactly listed on the menu, the Yellow Curry with pork (at an 8 on the spicy chart) is out of this county, if not out this world. Â Both the fried and soft spring rolls are great as well. Â If you still have room (and I often do), do yourself a favor and try the sticky purple rice with mango. Â It's like suckling on Jesus' teat - that good. Â Also, if you become a regular, you can ask the chef/owner about Thai faves NOT on the menu, but don't push your luck with this. Â I eat Pad Thai and chicken Satay elsewhere, notably. Â
Parties of 4 or more - consider ordering family style with one or two double or triple portion dishes. Â Often there's just one cook and almost everything is made to order. Â Don't be that asshole 8 top that orders completely different stuff for each seat and expect everything to come out perfectly. Â
Cheers!
thai kitchen is a dive. Â no qualms there. Â i don't mind dirty spoons and sticky swivel chairs. Â i do however have a problem with bad food. Â i ordered chicken satay and lemon grass chicken with pork. Â
since i was the only person there aside from cook and her baby (parked in a stroller inside the kitchen) I decided to watch the magic happen. Â
grab four skewers of chicken and defrost in microwave. Â transfer to george foreman grill and let sizzle until done.
after watching her grill up that who knows how long frozen chicken she walks out three minutes later with entree and satay neatly packaged. Â
I didn't hear a single wok go on. Â i heard no clatter of utensils tossing that lemon grass around in hot oil. Â how was the meal made?
at home, i opened up the packaging and find watery slightly cooked rice sloshing around with the saddest looking medley of vegetables i've ever seen. Â it looked as if they were taken from a 99 cent bag of freezer section vegetables. Â the pork was tough, chewy, and bland. Â
what the hell goes on here? Â regardless of ambiance and service, if there is one thing about any thai restaurant that you can rely on it is that the
food is always fresh and flavorful. Â this is the worst thai restaurant i've ever been to. Â somebody put this horse out of its misery. Â my god.
For anyone who has spent much time in Funcie, Thai Kitchen seems just about right. Divey with a splash of friendly. The Red Curry was tasty and spicy, the tofu was well prepared, but the brown rice was a bit undercooked. I arrived at the tail end of lunch so the place was void of humans besides myself and the owners, but they were friendly and my meal came out quickly. I'll certainly be going back to give the rice another chance as it is better than the local competition.
Review Source:TOTAL dive. Do not expect anything less in terms of ambiance. The presentation of the food is just about as fancy as the avacado green-upholstered barstools and the random art on the walls. This doesn't bother me; in fact, I thought it was kind of endearing.
The service is rather slow, but the waitress was very nice and apologetic about the wait. The cook/owner (?) agreed to make me a half-order of Pad Thai and a half order of pineapple fried rice so I could sample both, thinking that the portions would be huge. I thought that was super-nice of him, but I grossly overestimated what a half-order would be. Both dishes came out on little dessert plates. They were decent, although the rice had virtually no pineapple to speak of. Boyfriend's green curry tasted like homemade beef stroganoff. Kind of weird.
If I could somehow combine the kitschy atmosphere of the Thai  Kitchen with the taste of Thai Smile, I'd be a happy girl. As it stands, if this is what authentic Thai tastes like, I'll take the Americanized version any day of the week.
A family atmosphere to dine in. Â An old fashioned restaurant. Â Sometimes the food may take a while, but chill out and drink pop. Â When the food finally gets to your table, then you will be delighted. Â The food is almost always awesome. Â And if you happen to eat there when there is a Thai dish available then try it. Â Sue is a great cook when it comes to Thai food and even good at American food. Â Don't be fooled by the area and definately try Sue's Kitchen at least once before you bash it.
