Very delicious Thai food with great prices! The Pad Thai is saucy and had great flavor. I love that you can adjust spice level as well. Inside is non-assuming, very casual. But the food is full of flavor! Would definitely come back.

Thum Salad (Thai style)
Dante B.

We wanted to check out a new Thai spot for kaopoon and found this place nearby for a weekday lunch. We were seated immediately and ended up being the only customers there for the entire meal. We ordered the chicken satay, kaopoon, and thum salad (Thai-style papaya salad). The food came out quickly, but unfortunately each dish was very mediocre. The flavors felt muted and underseasoned, and nothing tasted particularly fresh or vibrant. We arrived pretty hungry and still didn't leave feeling very satisfied. Parking: Plenty of spaces in the strip mall where the restaurant is located.

Drunken noodle with chicken, spice level 3
Alex D.

Whenever I am craving some Thai food and don't want to drive far, I head straight to KB's Thai Hut! The food there is consistent and my orders are always ready on time for me to pick them up. The restaurant is located in a small plaza close to my house, which makes it really convenient to visit. When entering, you're greeted by welcoming staff and a short wait time as it's not always too busy there all the time. It is also small inside the restaurant, but that adds to the comforting feeling it gives off. My favorite item on the menu is the drunken noodles with chicken, and I usually pick 3 out of 5 for my spice level. I like that they allow you to choose how spicy you want your food because they are considerate of all spice tolerance levels. If I'm not ordering the drunken noodles, I'm getting the Pad Thai with chicken! I usually place orders over the phone as I tend to get KB's with my family, and they prepare the order so quickly. From my sister's house to the restaurant, it's about 6-7 minutes. After placing my order, it's usually done in 10-15 minutes which is really fast for 3-4 items at a time! Whether you're in the mood for eating out or ordering for pickup, KB's Thai Hut is a great choice for Thai food! I've been coming here consistently for a few years and they do not disappoint! I'd definitely recommend the drunken noodles with chicken and their Lao style papaya salad!

Coconut Shrimp, Lao papaya salad, Potstickers, chicken Wings, Sticky Rice
Hailey T.

Hands down my favorite restaurant. I've been coming here for a while now and this place never disappoints. Seating is practically immediate even though there's still good business indoors. The workers are quick and kind. The food options are great. I love how they have both Thai and authentic Lao cuisine. They make some of the best Lao papaya salads I've had in Sacramento. I got the XL sampler's platter and ordered chicken wings, Lao papaya salad (spicy 2), coco shrimp, and potstickers. Everything is so fresh and flavorful, as well as filling. All for an extremely great price! I always crave this place and will continue to support them always. Would 110% recommend.

Yellow Thai Curry
Eric C.

alright so the food here is pretty solid. me and my cousin ordered the mango dango, pad thai, and yellow curry for like 50 bucks. we were so stuffed after eating and there were still leftovers. but my main concerns. the mango dango is just way too sweet. like too much sugar to the point where it tastes like candy, but if they just lowered the sweetness level, it would be amazing. also the yellow curry flavor was amazing too but there just wasn't much meat. it was straight liquid. a shame bc it tasted good. the pad thai was p good too but the meat was tough. gotta use other methods of tenderizing. and the rice they gave us was kinda dry. otherwise tho, the food here is very solid

Phanaeng Thai Curry with Beef
Jacob M.

I don't usually drive 30 minutes outside of Sacramento for a weeknight meal, although I know Elk Grove has its fair share of good restaurants. However, I had to try this place. With the wide range of Thai options, I've been on the hunt for the best of the best, and I've heard KB's mentioned a few times now. There was no wait, and the inside was very calm and welcoming. Not super dim and moody like a lot of Thai restaurants (which I love), but I still liked the overall ambience, and the staff was nice. I was really impressed with the menu, a mix of Thai and Lao dishes that made the experience feel authentic. I was especially interested in the Lao street food section, but ultimately went with the tofu satay appetizer, pad se ew with tofu, and phanaeng curry with beef, and finished with a classic: mango sticky rice. The tofu satay was interesting and not something I'd normally order, but it was unique. The crispy exterior gave way to a soft texture inside. The peanut sauce it came with wasn't great, but I honestly enjoyed the tofu by itself. The pad se ew actually came out first, but all the food came quickly. The noodles were perfectly saucy without being too heavy, had a nice spice at the #2 level, and included small tomatoes I've never seen in the dish before, but they actually worked really well. Super addictive to eat. The phanaeng curry was excellent. I usually don't go for curry, even though Thai curries are fantastic, since I'm more of a noodle guy. But this one was outstanding. They didn't skimp on the meat or veggies, and the mushrooms in particular were meaty and satisfying. The curry itself hit that perfect balance of heat and coconut sweetness and paired perfectly with the rice. The mango sticky rice was good, maybe a little too sweet, and the rice slightly on the dry side, but the mango was juicy and fresh. I've had better, but I'm not too picky when it comes to dessert. The portions were huge with guaranteed leftovers for everything except the sticky rice. Prices were super fair compared to Thai restaurants in downtown Sacramento. Definitely worth the drive in my opinion, and I'd love to come back, especially to try the Lao street food and some of the more obscure dishes I've never had before.

Pad Thai, Papaya Salad and Nam Cow

Food was averave BUT customer service did not exist. Two waitress who would make eye contact and then just ignore you, have to catch them walking by. One warm dish came out, then papaya salad, after waiting we asked about our other hot dish and was told it's coming. Zero communication, act as if only Thai restaurant in the area. Did not feel welcome at all.

Shrimp pad Thai is good just a little soggy noods
Theresa G.

A small hole in the wall. Family run family vibes all the way. They are so welcoming. My favorite dish here is the curry chicken It is so flavorful and delicious. The papaya salad is fresh and light but be careful with the spice level because we were all snot and tears mid way. Hahaha. We got low level spice and even then our lips were on fire. Fried rice is delish as well as the shrimp pad thai. Love the little silver cups that keep your water ice cold . Halal. :)

Paula T.

Went here around 3:50pm. Service was fast and food came out quick. LOVED the mango tango chicken, pad sew ew, the kapoon and Thai tea I ordered today. Everything tasted amazing - hot and fresh. There were a lot of condiments on the table for them sauce lovers.

Nam khao salad - to go
Peggy S.

It's small/cozy in here and crowded but not surprising once you eat their food. This place will make you come back again and again. I've ordered the Nam Khao salad from here plenty of times. It's my go-to potluck dish. It's not too spicy for me but the mix of herbs, crispy rice, and savory bits of meat goes so well in a lettuce wrap. It feels light like an appetizer but will sometimes last me for two meals. It's tough to find this dish in LA (especially on the westside) so I love it when I can get it in Sac. Phone order pickup is easy and food is ready relatively quickly.

Crispy rice salad with beef
Fowzigiah A.

2nd time here and I was more impressed this time around. The place was busy and the waitress accommodated us. The menu was extensive. The food was spicy but it's my fault since I should have asked for mild. Love the metal platters.

Roger B.

Terrible food. Beef balls were possessed...fish cakes were processed...Rice came in a sandwich bag that has chemicals...didnt send the green beans..the noodles were cold...no chicken as ordered and they made it extra spicy and I ordered mild. Worst food I ever ate! DO NOT EAT HERE!

Place was packed during lunch because of the farmer's market on Saturday. We got the Hat Yai fried chicken, green curry, crab fried rice, beef satay, thai tea and Piak Sakoo (Sago Pudding w/ Young Coconut) The hat yai fried chicken is a must! It was so crispy and flavorful, especially with the sauce. The crab fried rice was also so good and paired nicely with everything. The green curry has a lot of vegetables and is a nice change from the regular red curry I usually get. The thai tea is just right, not too sweet. The most disappointing thing is the beef satay. I wanted to switch it up from the regular chicken satay but the beef satay was overcooked and chewy. It was quite inedible so that's the only thing I probably wouldn't get. The pandan sago was also so good. The sago being warm paired nicely with the coconut ice cream. Overall, I'm looking forward to going back to try new things.

The chicken satay was tender and flavorful, while the eggplant salad brought a nice mix of fresh, savory flavors. The chive appetizer cakes were another favorite and a great appetizer to share with the table. I also liked having several smaller dishes to try rather than sticking to just one thing. It's a great option if you're dining with family or friends and everyone wants to sample a little bit of everything. Rex Tip: If you're visiting on a Saturday, just an FYI, the farmers market runs right in front of the restaurant. Expect some nearby street closures, bigger crowds, and a little extra time getting around or finding parking. 5 ROARS from Focusaurus Rex

I asked if they could do something mild, but was told they don't offer that. I'm Indian and normally handle spice very well, so I was worried that "no spice" would be completely bland. I went with their lowest actual spice option: medium. Huge mistake. The first bite genuinely scared me. It tasted like someone had dumped an entire packet of chili directly into my mouth. My eyes immediately started watering, my mouth was on fire, and eating it was extremely uncomfortable. This wasn't a matter of me being sensitive to spice, the "medium" was insanely spicy. My friend, who is also South Asian and accustomed to spicy food, couldn't finish hers either. I politely told our waitress that the medium Pad Thai was far too spicy for me to eat. Her solution was to offer me sugar to pour over it. That sounded awful, so I declined. At that point I literally went on ChatGPT to figure out how I could salvage my meal. It suggested peanut sauce as one option to help tone down the heat, which sounded much more reasonable. I asked the waitress for some peanut sauce and was told I could have it for an additional charge. Considering I was only asking for it because their "medium" Pad Thai was practically inedible, I found that pretty disappointing. But I wanted to actually eat the food I had paid for, so I agreed. The peanut sauce helped slightly, but I basically had to eat a spoonful of peanut sauce with every single bite just to tolerate the Pad Thai. At that point, I wasn't enjoying dinner. The restaurant itself also felt very dirty. The floors looked like they desperately needed to be mopped, which made the overall experience even less appealing. Between the inedible food, the lack of any meaningful attempt to fix the problem, being charged extra for something I needed just to make the meal tolerable, and the cleanliness of the restaurant, I seriously considered leaving no tip. I ultimately did leave one, albeit reluctantly. Zero out of ten experience. I will absolutely never come back.

That it is customary in Sacramento. Ok then, what about to those that are elders or disabled who can't bring the plates? I was lucky I had few of my fam to help but there's no warmth to this owner. No one even checked on us at all! We would have left but we had to pay upfront before we found out we had to be the waitress. Food wasn't even worth it (papaya was bland, pad Thai was average). Update: owner replied to this post. Everything that she stated wasn't true at all. I asked why we have to bring all the stuff in and she insisted that it's customary in Sacramento-- she did NOT asked us at all or did we asked, the owner said it immediately when we got seated that we HAD to bring it in. Yes I was upset AFTER we were told to bring the plates and everything in; we just came back from a vacation so we were in a good mood). Please don't make it seem that you were innocent as you also keep mentioning that is how things are in Sacramento and asked where I was even from. Also, we would've been more understanding if we didn't give us an attitude from the start and told us to get our own plate and bring it back in. A word of advice: please hire more staff since that would give some politeness to ALL customers. If you were so busy, how would you even have the time to explain why you wanted us to do waitress work. Please, you straight up and said we have to pick up our our plate of foods WITHOUT any of the understaff part. Again, owner keep trying to make a costumer experience in the wrong since honest review will hurt her business. Never in my Yelp reviews owner is so against a bad review --this just verifies how the owner is very defensive and keeps justifying without taking accountability of what actually happened (like how we even know she was working alone since we're outside). Also, please don't make any assumptions, they're not my husband or daughter (we never mentioned this and how inaccurate the owner perspective is). Further customers, please be aware when you leave bad reviews, expect the owner to persist that you're in the wrong (like she did with other previous bad reviews).

I'm not sure if management or chef has changed but their food is not what I remembered from years ago. We initially ordered their tofu pad thai and gai yang and immediately noticed how pricey their menu was. They have a wall of specials and I remember being shocked that their orange chicken was $24. I didn't mind paying more than what I was used to for my pad thai because I remembered their food was delicious but I was shocked when my pad thai came out. It was literally drowned in sauce and looked like it was a bowl of noodle soup. I was still optimistic hoping that it tasted better than it looked but it just tasted like sweet rice noodle soup. I was hesitant to bring it up to the waitress after two bites but so glad I did because I would have hated myself if I left without saying anything. The waitress was kind and offered to remake the dish. Instead, I opted for something else because I was afraid to be disappointed again. I ordered their tofu drunken noodles since I've gotten it here before and remember it being tasty. I confirmed that the drunken noodle was going to be a dry noodle dish and thankfully it was. It was good but not the best I've ever had. My boyfriend had their gai yang which is a marinated grilled chicken dish. He said it was pretty dry without the sauce on the side but the sweet chili sauce provided was pretty tasty. It's probably not worth $26 given the how dry the chicken was and he said he would never order it again. Overall, the customer service was great and portions were good. I had to deduct 3 stars from my previous review as the food quality has significantly gone down in my experience and doesn't justify the high menu prices in my opinion.

Thai Canteen is the ONLY Thai spot that makes this duck noodle soup. Noodles are so plump and springy like the texture of freshly made ramen noodles. The broth is intense in flavor, amped up by the honey roasted duck and has this slightly salty, sweet umami taste. If it weren't for the "No MSG" red letters stamped on the menu board, I would've thought this soup had some MSG. The flavor is THAT delicious where you can't really pinpoint where it's coming from. #24 Gkuay Dtlow Reur (Boat Noodles) 3/5* The thin pho Noodles were fresh and cooked perfectly al dente, but the soup itself was lacking that beefy richness. The broth was watered down and bland. #26 Pad Thai Noodles with Tofu 5/5* Good portion size that is shareable for two. The soft tofu is plump and soaked up the pad thai sauce well. There's just enough sauce without the dish being overly saucy. The flavor is richer and less sticky sweet than other Thai places, making this more savory with a just slight hint of tamarind sweetness. Happy Hour Eggs Over Rice 1/5* This popped up on the Happy Hour menu one time and it is exactly what the name says. Just an egg omlette over a mound of white rice.

The food was sooo good, the portions were huge, and the service was great. It's in a cute little neighborhood, and surprisingly not busy when we stopped in. They have highchairs and the staff was super friendly with our 1-year-old, which made things easy. All the beer options are on tap, and they're good ones. Will definitely return next time I'm in Sacramento!

The Thai and Laotian food from here was pretty good!…read more My family and I shared the following dishes: -Thai Green Tea: Huge size! The drink was creamy and flavorful. Not too heavy. -Lao Sausage:: Meaty and I liked the flavor. It went well with the side sauce. I wish it came with more sticky rice though. -Chicken Larb: This was solid and I liked the tangy flavor. Portion size is pretty small though and only came with one cup of lettuce. -Lao Papaya Salad: Solid, but I've had better elsewhere. -Salmon Pad Thai: My favorite dish of the night! The best part were the salmon bites which were glazed in the sweet pad Thai sauce and had a crispy exterior and soft interior. Super delicious. -Khao Piak: Warm, thick, tangy, and comforting bowl of noodle soup. Overall, I enjoyed everything despite the smaller portion sizes for some of the dishes. The service here was pretty good and the interior was clean and cozy. Parking is street parking. A solid restaurant for Asian food in Sacramento.
