    Super nice male waiter. Great Thai tea and Thai coffee. Two TVs to watch while eating. Die hard marathon was on and when the other people left he turned it up so we could hear it. Nice menu and decent prices. Really delicious yellow curry. Would go again.

    What a diamond in the rough! Please don’t let looks fool you. When you walk in everyone is very friendly and it’s like you’re walking into a friends house. Izzy greeted us and let us pick we’re we felt comfortable. He immediately brought us some water and let us look over the menu. I got a fried tofu appetizer. That came out almost immediately. My fiancé is not a fan of tofu so I had that to myself. For meals I got the pork Pad Thai spicy level 3 and my fiancé ordered the yellow curry with chicken spicy level 2. The food was delicious! Izzy was perfect. Constantly refilling our drinks and white rice as we needed it! The pad Thai was tasty. The yellow curry was my favorite. I guess I was craving curry. We shared our food and still took a little of everything to the hotel. We actually just finished the curry and white rice. And are saving the last bites of pad Thai for a quick snack on our cross country trip. If ever in Okc again we will definitely be visiting Izzy. All thumbs up here! Absolutely loved it

    Best in town Restaurent if anyone craving Thai Food. Great Service Amazingly delicious freshly made food Good atmosphere Not very updated restaurant but who cares when food test is amazing. I order Ginger Beef medium spicy, it tasted delicious and fresh. Price were reasonable for main dishes but price of small bowl of soup was high at$6.99 for small bowl.

    Wow!!! We were so thrilled to have stopped here. Clean eating space, sweet people, and the food was incredible. If I ever get the chance to come back to OKC, this will be my first stop!

    My job used to require me based in Thailand and I experienced Thai people’s amazing cuisine quite frequently till I returned back to the States. One of the dead giveaways that this restaurant is run by real Thai is that their Pad Thai is not some cartoonish orange but more of brown color because they are using real tamarind sauce and possibly palm sugar. I take a look at their curries (kaeng) and those pass instantly because again they are not some vibrant green or orange colors you could find on a toddler’s tshirt but more pastel like colors - indication that they are maybe making their own curry paste or at least premade acceptable to Thai local standard. I understand the owner’s Thai and his wife is Burmese. Amazing foods. OKC people should be proud with this gem being in their town. It’s definitely not easy to find a place this authentic in the midwest. I recommend trying their ala carte menus. Their buffet is excellent but carries some American friendly menus that’s not quite Thai.

    The place and services were okay. We ordered the spicy pad thai pork and chicken. My dish was the spicy pad thai with pork and it was too salty for my taste. I tried chicken one, it was also too salty as well.

    Thai Kitchen Cafe is the best Thai food I’ve had in Oklahoma City. I use Pad Thai and Curry as a litmus test to judge the quality of a Thai restaurant, and their Pad Thai and Massaman Curry are exceptional. For my entrées I ordered Pad Ginger, Massaman Curry and Pad Thai; all dishes were exceptional. The owners and my server were extremely friendly and welcoming. They decor of the restaurant is a little outdated, but the food is top-notch. If you enjoy Thai food I highly recommend this restaurant.

    Best Thai food in OKC, HANDS DOWN!! I have been going here for approximately two (2) years and I have never had a bad experience. The Pad Thai is outstanding and the portions are huge! The owners and employees have always been so nice to me and they even call me by my first name now. I will never be able to go to another Thai place after trying this one....which isn't a bad thing.

    The owners of Thai Kitchen are some of the kindest people I have ever met! They make you feel like family and the food is always incredible! My family comes in regularly to eat and if we don’t sit down we take it to go. Issy & Mar (the owners) are some of the best people I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting! If you have time to stop in and eat here for lunch, DO IT! I recommend the Green Curry or the Massaman (Orange) Curry! Happy Lunching!

    Stopped by with a friend and had the Pad Kee Mao. I really loved the wide noodles and the sauce had an amazing flavor. My friend had the red curry and was pleasantly surprised by the creamy curry base. I didn't catch our server's name; however, they were super nice and so happy it made me happy. I highly recommend.

    I've been coming here for years. It's also a family run business, so I love supporting small businesses. Firstly - I took a moment to read through the 1-Star comments and I would have to say one thing they never shy on is service. If something is wrong or you're unhappy - speak with them, they are more than willing to remedy the issue. Out of all my years I've no doubt run into issues - at even my favorite places - but rather than complain about it see if they can fix the problem you're having. The food is delicious - they also have a secret family recipe for the 'Red Spicy Chicken' which is to die for. I would 100% recommend the Buffet; and if the food looks tired or old, they will change it out or bring you a fresh batch, you just have to ask. I've been a loyal customer for over a decade, and they want your business and will do what they can to make your experience worth every cent. Give them a try if you haven't tried it before and give the buffet a go so you can try all they have. Red Chicken, Pad Tai, and Curry's are my favorite. 5/5, Will be back again. NOTE: Buffet only runs during the lunch rush, so don't expect to show up and they have it.

    We went toward the end of lunch so we ordered off the menu. Lunch specials are only $10.99 and include a good portion of food. Plenty of vegetarian and vegan options. The food is flavorful and fresh and full of veggies!! Can’t wait to go back and try the buffet!

    I’ve been coming here for years and the food is ALWAYS AMAZING. It’s a lovely quiet spot for a late night meal after work, great if you don’t feel like cooking for the night, and prefect sized portions for family style. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! Also the owner is so incredibly lovely and personable every time I come. I crave this place at least one a week. Check it out!

    it was astounding to me that they recognized my girlfriend when we walked in after she hadnt been to the place for years. according to her she hadnt been there for atleast two or three years. she used to be a regular at this place. the owners recognized her and also remembered her order preferences which is just incredible in the modern service industry where impersonal is the norm or fake service with a fake smile is the norm. the place had a vibe of a restaurant where they served countless meals over decades. i ordered a soup and spring rolls as a snack. they were both satisfying and delicious.

    I’m from the Tulsa area. Was in downtown OKC around lunchtime this past Friday with a friend. We decided to try Thai Kitchen. I made the mistake of ordering the buffet. Unfortunately, there was hardly any food on the buffet. Fried rice kettle was empty, all the spring rolls were gone and only small spoonfuls left of any hot food. I thought they would replenish, so I got what I could, sat down and ate that. There was only a couple of the hot dishes that were refilled (nothing else was replenished) but before I could get back to the buffet, one man in particular scooped up almost all of both dishes so I didn’t get any more food. (Talk about selfish) I spent approx $20 for very little food. That being said, what I ate was delicious and it is only the owners running the place, so they were limited in how much food they could prepare at a time. The owners are sweethearts! The location is run down, but to me it added a rustic feel. Would love to try it again but next time I’m ordering from the menu!

    The buffet options are limited but the food is great. We went on a Thursday and they don't have a special that day, we didn't know. My daughter asked about a particular item she had before which is how we found out about the specials. The owner made us the item she asked for on the spot. Those cream cheese fried dumplings were great, but remember they are only available on Wednesday. Oh and the server was so friendly and attentive. I'll be back for 👍 👍 👍 sure.
