Didn't get a chance to try the food. We were meeting my sister in law and baby niece and got to the door and they were not allowing seating, only carry out. That's frustrating when you're coordinating people meeting for lunch. So make a reservation if you're planning to eat here. read more

One of my local favorites! Food is fantastic and service impossible to beat. Best Pad Thai I've ever had.

Fantastic Thai food. But, make reservations, it is a busy place. Best Thai restaurant in the city.

What a gem! So glad we stopped. Jong'sThai Kitchen is delicious. You can't go wrong- everything we ordered was perfect. Incredible service and hospitality. We will be repeat customers. read more

Pro tip that I didn't know .. you need a reservation to this place!! This is a cute neighborhood place. When you walk in you feel like home. It reminded me of cheers. When people walked in they people knew them. I decided to get take out and I'm glad I did, even with the 45 min wait. The food was on point. The only thing I would change were the shrimp veggie rolls. Just needed a little bit more shrimp. The pad see ew what do I say ... I was really impressed. Furthermore , I ordered it hot and it was at the right level!!! There was enough meat and the potion was great. Even enough for another meal. Then even through in an extra app for my wait. This place is a good Thai place. Def check them out. read more

This restaurant is in an adorable historic neighboorhood not too far from the capitol. I placed an order for beef pad se ew to-go, and on arrival, I was a little sad I didn't actually dine in - it was such a cute place. My food was exactly as ordered, and there were some dumplings thrown in - which I didn't expect, but absolutely appreciated. Definitely recommend if you're in the area and are craving Thai! read more

Can I give this place 6 stars? Or 10? Omg what an experience Walk in at 7:15 and the owners graciously inform us that they shut down the dining room at 7 but that carry out is still available until 8. It's middle America, so I'm not super surprised. One of the reasons we jumped off 70 to find dinner was that I knew we'd have trouble getting served if we waited any longer I tell them it's okay, we can eat in the car and we'll head back to Maryland right after They chat amongst themselves and call us back to the register and tell us if we don't mind eating out of the to go boxes, we can use one of the tables. Awesome, we thank them and take our seats. I ordered crispy wonton and y'allllll they were SO good. 6 for $6.50 and worth every penny. They even bring my girlfriend a complimentary salad with fried tofu on it. Next they bring out a dish of tempura green beans with chicken and some chicken gravy that we didn't ask for but appreciated nonetheless. They said they offer it complimentary for people who waited for tables. Finally our entrees my gf got pad see ew and I got pad Thai and they were both SOLID. Plenty of food piping hot, perfect spice level.... Lastly the sticky rice with mixed berries and a coconut cream -- oooof. Chefs kiss. So good. I'll be comparing every thai meal I have in the future to this place. The owners were so amazing, they checked on us consistently and even packed up some extras for our trip. I'll be sure to come back again in the future and I've already started recommending it to people I know who live in Kansas. read more

While road-tripping from Denver to Missouri, we searched for vegetarian-friendly spots as soon as we entered Kansas and came across Jong's Thai Kitchen. The stellar reviews drew us in--and we're so glad they did! It was a quick detour off the highway and easy to find, making it a convenient and worthwhile stop. When we arrived, the dining room was reserved for a private party, so takeout was the only option. We were warmly greeted and told there would be up to a one-hour wait. For some, that might be a dealbreaker--but to us, it was just another sign that the food was worth the buzz. We placed our order: * Thai Classic Fried Rice with tofu (no egg) * Pad Thai with tofu (no egg) * Veggie Egg Rolls * Crab Delight We ordered both entrees "hot" and were offered refreshing iced tea while we waited--a thoughtful and much-appreciated gesture on a hot and humid day. The wait ended up being around 45 minutes, but we spent the time playing at the park across the street and hardly noticed. Once we got the call, we grabbed our food and dug in immediately--and WOW. Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The Thai Fried Rice and Veggie Egg Rolls were standout favorites--absolutely phenomenal. Generous portions, vibrant flavor, and everything cooked perfectly. To top it all off, they included a sweet dessert with a handwritten "thank you for waiting" note, which really made our day. This place is 100% worth the stop--and the wait. If we were local, Jong's would absolutely be part of our regular rotation. We're headed to Missouri now but already planning to swing by again on our way back to Denver. If you're on the fence about stopping here, take this as your sign: Do it. You won't regret it. read more

Everything about Jongs is perfect, except that their hours and eating-in service abilities are dictated by how busy they are.

Excellent food and excellent customer service! We didn't have a reservation and they were extremely busy. They offered carry out and said they would text us when it was ready. It was ready far before the promised time. read more

Travelers beware!! Stopped by while on travel only to discover they only do carry out on Friday and Saturday night - would have been nice to know before getting off freeway in search of this place! read more

I love Thai food and this lunch had the BEST Thai food ever! Very fresh, good portions, friendly owners - small space inside as there are only six tables so make your reservation in advance. My friends and I had crab delite plus steamed dumplings followed by Pad Thai. The thoughtful owners also brought dessert out as it was my birthday. Lots of To Go orders were being picked up so if you cannot get a reservation, order Take Out. read more

This place is a gem. I have all the allergies and I always have a delicious meal. So accommodating, so friendly. It is hard for me to eat out, but this place always delivers!! read more

I went here a couple weeks ago during lunch, to give it a try since yelp told me people are talking about this place, it is a cute small building and gives a New York type feel, or at least what I feel New York would be. I ordered the Pad Thai and veggie eggroll. My hubby got the Tom Ka. So the food was not what I expected the pad Thai was a little dry and it was very mild no spice. The eggroll was over cooked and my hubby did not like his Tom Ka as it was too sweet with the coconut milk and he ordered it Thai Hot and it lacked that. The best thing I can say was the friendly cashier which he offered me a Thai tea which I never had before and it was delicious. It is a tea drink made with cinnamon, cardamom, milk and black tea. I was so hooked on that tea and I am now on the search for it lol. Overall. I would return for the customer service. read more

Great food and the best hospitality we have ever received in any restaurant. Definitely worth going! There is a long wait period to dine in but its just that good! They do offer take out. Give it a try! You wont regret it. Thank you Jongs Thai Kitchen for such a wonderful experience. read more

Local! Best Thai in Topeka! It's worth the wait for a reservation and would strongly recommend if you can't get one get carry out. This place is small inside but worth the wait. The owner and the services are very tuned into their customers and super nice. The food is just as tasty. We had the garlic chicken - some of the best Thai garlic chicken we have had in a long time. Full of flavor!!! We also had the noodles medium heat and so on point suggestion is shrimp. This establishment allows BYOB as long as it's not opened...if you don't finish you must leave it. read more

Jong's is such a tease. When they first opened, I was able to go in a few times, talk to the owners, have great food, and even get some custom off-menu dishes. They would bring freebies by the table for me to try. As they got more popular, it got hard to get food from Jong's at all. I'd try to call in an order, only to be told they were no longer accepting orders that evening. Sometimes I'd try to phone in an order and not be able to get my call to connect before giving up entirely after 10 minutes of trying. I would try to dine in, only to be told they weren't accepting any dine in customers that night, or that they were fully booked despite the restaurant being completely empty. It is so hit or miss, that I go to inferior Thai restaurants around Topeka while wishing I was at Jong's. On a recent visit to Topeka, I was really craving Jong's only to discover they'd taken like 6 weeks off for vacation, and closed the restaurant entirely. That is great for them, as I'm sure they could use the break, but a bummer for someone who wants to eat there while visiting Topeka. Their hours are so strange. They are only open for lunch three days a week, and on Friday and Saturday, they are only open 4 hours each day. Also, no dine in on Friday or Saturday. Carryout only. They are then closed Sunday and Monday. I don't understand how they can stay in business with such limited hours and no dine in on the weekend at all. The food here is absolutely phenomenal. Some of the best Thai food I've ever had. While I haven't had Thai food in Thailand, I've eaten Thai all over the US. Jong's is top notch. The prices are insanely low for the quality and amount of food you get as well. I can make two meals out of any of their dishes, and with most entrees being under $15, it is really hard to beat. It is their business, and they can run it as they see fit. It is just frustrating as a customer to crave their amazing garden rolls, sweet chili noodle, or panang curry and have such a hard time getting it. At some point, craving or not, the limited hours and difficulty placing a order even when they are open makes them playing hard to get not worth the effort. If this was any other place, the issues I've described above would limit them to 2 or 3-stars at best. The food here is so amazing, they get 4-stars even with all the difficulties I've had getting any of their food. read more

Jong's Thai Kitchen is a tiny little Thai restaurant hidden on a neighborhood street. A small restaurant that delivered big flavors. We ordered an assortment of dishes and even received a few that we didn't order. When selecting our appetizers I had mentioned I liked potstickers but didn't order them. They were still brought to our table with the message that she (the owner) saying she wanted me to have the chance to try them. Also during the meal she brought over a plate of fried green beans. Didn't even see them on the menu but glad we got a chance to try them. Every dish I tasted was excellent. Delicious food, good service, and amazing hospitality. I can see why it's a favorite of our friends who live in Topeka. 2021- 159 read more

Food - 4 Service - 5 Value - 5 I came here on a recent trip through Topeka and this made for a nice meal at the end of a long day. I called ahead and they said it might be up to an hour for my order and I said that would be fine. It turned out that they were able to get to my order in about half that time, which was a nice surprise -- but not the last surprise for me. When I went to pickup my order, they apologized for the long wait and said they included some Crab Delight and Crispy Potstickers (probably 2 pieces of each) for my wait time. My Chicken Pad See Eaw which came out fresh and nicely seasoned and the appetizers they comp'd me were great too -- food just tastes even better when it's free! read more

After hearing about the rave of this place, I finally decided to give it a try. I came in as soon as they opened in the evening and ordered to go. The owners are so sweet. After reading reviews about reservations I asked how far in advance you needed to book, and they said at least two months right now for dinner. If you're really eager to give this place I try I would order for take out. The food is delicious, I had a variety of things and I recommend the pad see ew, eggrolls, and crab rangoon. read more

We've had Thai food all over the United States, & this is one of the best Thai places we've been to. We were just passing through, & the hospitality from the wait staff made us feel like we we were at home. We will definitely make a return visit when we travel through Topeka next. The Thai tea, curry, & fried rice were all fantastic. read more

finally i got take out!!! this place is incredibly tiny but soooo worth getting food from. service was very quick and no nonsense! read more

This small restaurant is only small in its physical size (square footage.) It is enormously wonderful in every other way! The food is delicious, fresh, and beautiful! The Thai Iced Tea is the best I have ever had! However, the service is the aspect that stands out from nearly every restaurant I have ever checked out! They are gracious and generous and go above and beyond what one might expect EVERY TIME! They are always friendly and honest about everything: A. Wait time (so worth it) B. Ingredients in the food (full disclosure) C. Available reservations (Limited seating) They provide happy, humble, and true service to their customers! The owners are amazing, awesome and authentic... just like the food! It's the real deal folks! read more

Great small restaurant! The tables get reserved out to a mostly regular crowd, and it's easy to see why. Thoughtful service, fresh Thai food. Perfect! The chef often comes out to check on tables, which is a nice touch. Hours are a bit odd, but worth seeking out. read more

What a surprise in Topeka! Just stopped thru for a night while driving cross country. They only do takeout on Fri/Sat, which worked for us. We had the Pad See Ew, pad ga pow, and the crab fried rice. All were great! Well packaged for take out, with plenty of utensils and napkins. I will say, though, that the crab fried rice might have been a bit much for a hotel room...so much crab that we could still smell it for hours even after I removed the take out containers to the hallway. read more

Wonderful!! I had read the reviews and I thought nothing could be that good. I was wrong. I had the Orange Chicken, the Noodle soup and the sweet sticky rice. I had ordered conservatively but I can't wait to go back again. The people were so friendly. I do want to warn you, if you think you can just walk in and get something quick that would be a big no. Everything is done freshly and it tastes like it. Their schedules are different than most restaurants but it works for me. I highly recommend them!! read more

Jong's Thai Kitchen - Thai Near Me - Topeka, Kansas

Food and staff were great. Need to make a reservation for lunch if you're not planning on carrying out.

As a reluctant (disgruntled) vegan I thought that the dishes I love at Jong's Thai Kitchen would not be nearly as tasty as I embraced a new plant-based eating lifestyle. However, that is not at all what I found when I ordered the Pad Thai, the Garlic Tofu (previously Garlic Chicken) and the spring rolls with tofu instead of chicken or pork. The Garlic Tofu dish was a definite hit with my wife and my Pad Thai with Tofu was amazing! I explained my recent eating/diet to Derrick on the phone as I was ordering takeout and Jong's was glad to work with the new vegan eating plan. If you have chosen the vegan lifestyle (I didn't - it was doctor prescribed) then you can enjoy eating out or getting takeout at Jong's! Per my previous review I do honestly believe that they are the best Thai restaurant in all of Topeka. I appreciate their flexibility and their ability to accommodate our new eating plan. read more

Ordered this for takeout after work. Had the shrimp peanut Pad Thai and the crab Rangoons. The food was cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. Hands down the crab Rangoon's were some of the best I have ever had. They were filled with the right amount of stuffing and not a ton of extra wrap. Fried perfectly. The dipping sauce was just the way I like it too. Not too runny, more on the thicker side and delicious flavor. The Pad Thai was ordered with shrimp and extra green onions. They delivered. The ingredients were evenly proportioned for the dish. Again mouth water flavors. The restaurant was only doing take out that night because they had a private party coming. This was my first time here and what a charming little hole in the wall. Very intimate and clean. This would be a great date option. The service was warm, welcoming, appreciative and friendly. I will recommend this to anyone asking for a local gem. read more

Excellent food - tasty, order executed perfectly. Nice folks, good service. Good ambiance, but we did takeout

Incredible food. Literally everything is amazing. We ordered multiple dishes so we could try things and LOVED it all. Pad Thai, curry, fried rice, you name it, we tried it. EXCELLENT. read more

Fantastic food! Each dish was great!! Great service too. Highly recommended. Keep up the good work!

Great food, nice staff, always visit this restaurant when I'm in Topeka, love the curry.
