★ 5★ 4★ 3★ 2★ 1If you're looking for a lunch that packs a flavorful punch, this Thai spot is a must-try! Their Thai chicken fried rice is perfectly seasoned and cooked, making it a satisfying and tasty base for the meal. But the real stars are the wings and rolls that come with the lunch special—crispy, delicious, and totally addictive. It's an unbeatable combo that hits all the right notes. Plus, it's quick and affordable, making it perfect for a midday treat. Trust me, your taste buds will thank you! Special thanks to sweet woman who takes orders, always welcoming everyone with great smile and wonderful customer service.
May 09 · Nandha Krishna NambiI ordered on uber eats, my first time trying this place and I could not have had a better experience. I wanted them to make my food EXTREMELY spicy and they delivered beautifully! The red curry and drunken noodles were delicious and the spice level was exactly what I was looking for. The portion size is good, food is packed well and the Thai iced tea is great. This is now going to be my new go-to thai place in the neighborhood. Can not recommend enough!
April 09 · Mariam ChowdhurySolid!! I recommend going in person instead of ordering. Super fast service. Thai tea a bit sweet though, would get less sugar next time.
February 21 · Lu GarciaFriendly staff, fresh ingredients, great flavor!I tried the chive pancake and was pleasantly surprised! Also got the Pad See Ew and Pad Thai (both with chicken) very very good! Definitely recommend if you’re craving Thai food
March 15 · A. Natasha JThe chef and cashier were so friendly and kind; they made an exception for me although their kitchen was closed! The food here is also bomb! God bless Kensi Thai in Jesus Name!
