King and I Thai

The chicken pad Thai and all the curries (green, red, yellow, masaman) are so freakin good. I do dinner portions because they really hook up the curries. The five star spice here will knock anyone on their ass so be ready if you order it.

Pretty disappointing coming here… When you work in the food industry and My Family is from southeast Asia you tend to be more empathetic to small business’s. However you have to be honest when their is bad service. I Saw one of the chefs outside smoking cigarettes and arguing with someone on the phone swearing at them!!. Who sits outside their own restaurants and makes a scene before patrons walk in. I sat down with my guest for dinner we got apps and entrees both. The service was ok at best, I hated when people any kind of «foreign restaurants» treat you like second class citizens. When we ordered I ask simple questions about the ingredients in my dish because I never heard of the description before. They proceeded to tell me it was good and to push me to order it. Yes of course Im not just gonna order something I don’t know what i’m eating. The server then walked away talking in another language and interjecting in english to another coworker. I then ask if the restaurant uses MSG. They told me no only on some dishes not all, that was a lie they use it on everything they cook in this place. Did I tell you I’ve worked in the industry for over 14 Years, I know when someone doesn’t like you as a customer. This is just unacceptable and awkward. The fork was dirty and had crusted leftover food on it. It was unpleasant but wasn’t that discouraging. I just let it go because this stuff happens but c’mon how hard is it to look at silver ware when you put it on the table. Their was only two other people in the place. WHAT a JOKE LOL. Meanwhile I was still pleasant and nice because you NEVER want to upset people handling your food. It took 45 Min for our Entrees to come out, was the cook on a break??? It was ok at best not worth it for what I got. I probably will never go back, the place smells like a dirty wash cloth. I think the CHEF was doing drugs in the back because all I could smell was weed! That is just Gross. I probably wouldn’t use my credit card here because of the sketchiness of the place, make sure you have fraud protection on that CC. Just go onto Youtube and look up the ingredients yourself and buy them and cook it. Better than this place it smells like pee.

Hands down the best Thai food in the area! Do not let the outside fool you! The food is amazing! It’s a great takeout spot. The chicken pad thai is unreal! Highly recommend it, along with everything else on the menu :)

This is a must try hole-​in-​the-​wall. Looks are deceiving. This little joint does great thai. I had the drunken noodles, and the green curry. Both are some of the best that I have had and would measure up to any place I’ve been in NYC.

Yummy lunch! Ordered the drunken noodles but with Pad thai noodles instead. Extra Sauce and some spice. it was delicious! Granted this was my first Drunken noodle dish ever… since i usually order pad thai.

I was pretty disappointed coming here. I am used to going to the one in hartford and figured I’d give this one a try. First I came in on a Friday and there was only one other table. Second our order took 45 minutes to come out. Third the sticky rice had hard pieces in it. The lahp (totally butchered the spelling) was not lap. It was more like a stir fry if anything. The pad thai was a monstrous plate of noodles. On the bottom of my pad thai experiences.
The location kills it for them. Lack of location and lack of patrons (volume) make this restaurant sub par. A shame because the one in hartford is really good. I love laos food and it’s hard to find. Someone needs to do it well. Unfortunately this place is not it.
I would have given it 1 star but it is a family run establishment that I know can do better. Must of been am off night

Very high quality Thai food. I get all the curries or the drunken noodles and they’ve been spot on.

I introduced myself to this place after I had driven by it daily. I could tell from the front that it had a «hole in the wall» look but had a feeling that great Thai food couldn’t be THIS close to where I lived. Boy was I wrong and K&I quickly became a go-​to takeout place.
I’ve had a number of the dishes, ranging from several of the curries (yellow, massamun, panang, red) to wild boar basil, kai ka prow, siam noodles, a couple of the fried rices, drunken noodles, and pad thai. I’ve stayed mostly with chicken options but have occasionally ventured into trying out the duck. Although some are better than others, all seemed to have a homemade feel. The sauces in particularly were simple yet full of flavor, without feeling like processed and MSG-​filled chinese takeout.
My favorite dishes would have to be the yellow and panang curries and kai ka prow. I will say the wild boar was not my favorite and the pad thai didn’t impress me, but I would have any of the other dishes again. At first I thought that they could afford to give more rice per dish, but soon found that drowning the rice in the sauces makes it better (for whatever reason).
The lady that runs the restaurant has always given quick and polite service. The interior is small with only a few tables (one of which usually with some of the kids fresh from school finishing their HW) but has the feel of a family-​owned place. As far as healthier options for takeout (if there is such a thing), this place is a stronger option than a Chinese restaurant or any other processed food. Pricing is decent as the dinner options will feed you for two meals.

I was introduced to this place by a friend in the area and since then I’ve gotten take-​out from them twice. Both times I had the Panang Curry with duck, and both times it was delicious. The prices are a little bit on the higher side for take-​out but that’s what I get for ordering duck.
The staff is always friendly and the service is quick. I never have to wait to long to go pick it up. My only complaint is that they don’t deliver.
I try not to order out too much when I’m home, but I’m happy to have this place in my take-​out /​delivery line-​up for a good meal when I’m too busy to cook.

To sum it up: Delicious authentic thai food, delivered quick! This place is definitely not a first date out kind of place. Very hole in the wall. There were maybe 5 tables of 4. The décor left something to be desired and the presentation of the food was plain. However, the food was delicious and delivered quickly. Service was friendly and efficient. I got the papaya salad and there wasn’t a lot in it but the flavor was on point and authentic. The vegetables were very fresh, especially considering it was a very slow evening (the icicles were still up, sleeting, past regular dinner hours, only party in there). I enjoyed my beef massaman curry too and had no issues with the texture of the beef. I could have drank the curry broth too. My husband enjoyed his pad thai too. If you’re looking for authentic quick Thai, this is the place to go (they also had laotian food on the menu…). If you want to try a Thai place with more atmosphere and more presentation (equally delicious), try Jao Praya in Bolton.

Our first time trying this restaurant was very good. My partner and I walked in for dinner and got two appetizers and two entrees. We got some steamed dumpings and a silver soup. The soup had very good garlic flavor and lots of vegetables. I got the panang curry which came with jasmine rice. It was well spiced but not too hot. My partner got a pad thai which I tried as well. It was sweeter than some others I’ve tried but still good. Extra points for including a lime wedge. The lady who runs the place is very nice too. Can’t wait to try this place again.

Customer Sarah is upset because she had a coupon at this establishment and didn’t wanna pay full price as printed on the Coupon clearly she couldn’t use the voucher until the day after purchase and was really upset, Pushed the food away and said «I’m not paying 20.00 for this» and insisted her sister used the coupon before. Which is perfectly fine but the voucher clearly states YOU CAN NOT USE VOUCHER TILL DAY AFTER PURCHASE so she threw a tantrum, the establishment would have been more than happy to take the voucher and redeem it the next day but the customer was unreasonable and clearly should really read fine print before purchasing any other offers.

I ordered my favorite — Drunken Noodle. It’s amazing! There are 2 Thai restaurants in my area that I frequent and this one is the best for this dish I’ve had so far. It’s nice and spicy the way I like it, and it’s got an assortment of vegetables that I like. The one downside was that the noodles were a bit overcooked. That’s usually a big turnoff for me with noodle dishes, but the flavors are so good it really doesn’t matter. A+++. I look forward to returning. As far as ambiance goes it’s kind of divey. Not an upscale looking place, but they seem to be more about the food.

I need to start by saying that my rating reflects the FOOD ONLY, not the restaurant itself, which is a tiny little hole in the wall with absolutely no ambiance.
If you’re looking for delicious, affordable take-​out, this is the best Thai food East of the River!
I highly recommend the following:
Tom Ka (coconut soup)
Silver Salad
Drunken Noodles
Pad Thai

Stopped in yesterday and had a great lunch. Flavors were on point, everything was fresh and tasty. Great fresh spring rolls, curry dishes were very good and a glass noodle salad that was delicious. Portions were generous. We will definitely be back to try other dishes!

The high rating was the only reason why I have visited this restaurant in the first place. Sadly, it was nothing near satisfaction. (Too bad my phone was out when I dined there tonight, otherwise photos of what I am about to described would have been more convincing.
The interior of the restaurant clearly suggests that is a family own business, a place that was recently renovated from a living room.
I would have been fine with this place if the food was actually decent, unfortunately, compared to other thai restaurants in the area, King and I Thai is sub-​par.
The Thai Ice Tea and Tom Yum soup were the only items that are upto the standard.
The Curry and the satay chicken was barely edible.
The satay chicken was overcooked and burnt on one side and it was too oily as a whole.
In terms of the curry, only the sauce was like what is served in the other thai restaurants, the mixed vegetables in it, especially the green beans, were way undercooked.
My Friend, who was there to dine with me, told me that the texture of the beef within the curry is overly chewy (I suppose she meant it was overcooked?)
The jasmine rice served with the curry was horrible, part of the rice dried out. (taste like it was reheated by the microwave)
I don’t have high expectations for a family-​owned restaurant, but this is obviously worse than expected.
Not recommended.

Small place with big taste. BYOB I had the chicken pad Thai, soup, spring rolls, and salad. Everything was delicious, i hope this place makes it.

Not sure what all of the hype is about…
I’ve had much better thai food, and anyone who comes here who has had enjoyed thai from a fair distribution of establishments would agree. The drunken noodles were fantastic and our pad thai noodles rocked, but… the meat and seafood? It completely threw off everything else. The chicken was extremely dry, the squid was tough and rubbery, the shrimp was definitely NOT fresh…
Furthermore, let’s be clear about atmosphere — this isn’t a place where you want to sit down and dine. Best for take out. They didn’t even ask how spicy we wanted our noodles. Not sure what kind of Thai place they’re running here but I doubt I’ll be back unless there are serious changes.

Look forward to King and I every time we come to the area. Generally go to the Hartford location but came by here and it is just as good.
Recommend:
massaman curry (veggie, Chicken, Tofu are all good options) is one of the best. Great Pad Thai for the beginners and I recommend trying the drunken noodle to expand.
If you like things spicy make sure to request to bump it up.

This is a new Thai restaurant in our neighborhood. The place used to be an old Chinese restaurant kind of drab but slowly the new owner had worked hard to make the place a very welcoming place. Much casual than Sukhothai in downtown Manchester but that is the charm of the place.
So far I have ordered food three times and I have been very happy with everything I had ordered. The summer rolls are very fresh and yummy. The papaya salad and the steak salad (which I have ordered in separate occasions) were also delicious. They really know how to cook seafood, especially calamari – super tender! My husband really enjoyed their drunken noodles. Nice spice and good portion size. Overall a great new addition in our area and I look forward to try the other dishes in the menu. The prices are also very fair. The owner is super nice and very flexible regarding customizing the meal to meet dietary needs. I totally recommend this place to anyone that like Thai food.
