Reviews For Koon Thai Restaurant

There wasn't a wait when I walked in and service was beyond quicker that I expected. The coconut shrimp appetizer was absolutely delicious and the main course of Pad Thai I had was very filling. You can share a main course with someone which is what I did and still have leftovers. The food is very delicious and very affordable compared to other Asian eateries that I was nearby.

Came here expecting good food. I was not disappointed. Food was awesome and there was a large selection. Menu was clearly labeled too. The atmosphere was quiet. Crab rangoons were awesome and looked homemade. Fried rice was delicious. The service could have been a bit faster but overall a good experience. Don’t hesitate to try this place!

Ordered in several times and the food was brilliant every single time. Decided to actually go to the restaurant in person and it was even better! Super fresh, nice wait staff and great service. Would return for sure. The Pad See Ew is really good, so is the Thai Fried Rice.

I had the green curry with chicken and it was absolutely delicious—perfect balance of spicy and creamy. The service was quick, and the staff were really friendly. The restaurant has a cozy vibe and very clean. Highly recommend the mango sticky rice for dessert!

Stopped here for lunch - everything was 10/10. The service was amazing, and our server was extremely friendly and attentive. The food came out quickly, and was extremely good. We got the spicy pad thai, the awesome noodles w/ shrimp, spring rolls, crab rangoons, and moon dumplings. We sat at the counter and the view is amazing. We definitely will be returning!
