    Khao Khai Jiao Pu (Crab Omelet)
    Melissa Z.

    Every time I've came by this restaurant it is always buzzing with people and after trying 4 fantastic dishes from here I can understand why. The restaurant is nice and clean inside with a great menu with lots of variety and also so many fun drinks/teas to choose from. So far I have tried the shrimp and garlic, beef noodles, khao soi, and crab omelette. The khao soi and crab omelette were definitely my favorite dishes that I've tried and dishes I would order again and again. The khao soi is spectacular and also their most popular dish. Everything about this dish was exploding with flavor from the chicken to the broth. The crab omelette was such a comforting yet tasty meal and I love an egg and rice dish! Coming back to try more of the menu here is a no brainer.

    Khao Sen is easily our new favorite Thai restaurant in the area because of the perfect curry flavors, beautiful atmosphere, and great service. Must order: khao soi and green curry with salmon We loved our khao soi (medium spice) and green curry with grilled salmon (medium spice). The flavors were really perfect, salmon was tender, and slapped on a cold day. We also ordered the spicy ribs, which were fantastic and super filling. We almost got full off eating the ribs alone that we took half our curry home. After overnight in the fridge, the leftovers were EVEN better the next day. The kids ordered the chicken and rice, and wow the char on the chicken is premium for a kids meal. What a gem of a restaurant for Fuquay Varina!!

    We absolutely love Khao Sen!! The servers are kind and helpful, the ambiance is tastefully peaceful with soft music and minimal but beautiful decor and lighting. I have tried 4 main dishes here- the Khao Soi which is a delicious creamy, savory, spicy noodle soup with chicken, the Sen Lek Pak Ruam, a delicious savory vegetable noodle soup, the Khao Khai Jiao Pu which is a delicious slightly sweet crab omelette draped over rice, and the Khao Kai Yang which is a pretty good grilled chicken and rice dish with a spicy twangy sauce on the side. The Thai tea is delicious, and the boba and other teas and milks are very good, including the chocolate pink milk! The Moonlit Matcha (this is a special, not on the regular menu) was very tasty, too! We have also tried the Thai Tea Custard which is quite good, and the Thai Donuts which are very tasty and different! They're almost like a thick funnel cake texture and flavor mixed with a little bit of a hush puppy corn flavor. Overall, we love Khao Sen and will continue to come back for their delicious meals, drinks, and desserts! I would absolutely recommend them to friends and family!

    This is a nice clean busy restaurant with a very friendly and responsive staff. We saw the reviews and figured we'd give it a spin. It is clear that the Khao Soi is a big draw and we normally would have tried it first but instead we tried other things that appeared appealing from the menu albeit a bit on the pricey side Frankly, they didn't wow us during this visit. We will try them again because the Khao Soi looked very appealing and will update the review when we do. Until then, 4 stars mostly because of the service and the promise of a better tomorrow.

    Inside looks simple, tidy, serene and well-lit. Not sure how pack it gets but there are plenty of seating and looks like it's good for groups too. Food was great and if you like curry, I suggest Khao Soi. Other fam members like theirs too and our bowls looked clean after trying to eat every single piece or crumb of whatever. #latelunch LOL. The pork noodles come with a cup of soup too. They have kids meal but doesn't include any drink not side, which was a kinda pricey, esp for chicken fried rice. Although it would work as a main meal for an adult like me too, then it becomes affordable! LOL. Close to a residential area so there's a lot of to-go orders. Doesn't look like it affects the time of service for diners though. Definitely recommending for whatever reason - date, friends meal out, noodle craving, boba craving...

    Khao sen is in a new development on the edge of town. When we first pulled in I wasn't sure that it would be very good, however I was pleasantly surprised. I loved the menu, it had a lot of great Thai dishes that you don't see at other restaurants, definitely went way beyond the basic pad Thai type staples you see at most places. The food itself was excellent, it was flavorful and well prepared and we liked every dish we ordered. The service was excellent, fast and friendly. Our server made great recommendations and was very professional throughout. The building is new so it kind of has a hip vibe, I liked the interior and it's really clean. The seats and tables are comfortable. I would definitely come here again, I highly recommend this place.

    I ordered two Thai milk teas, without ice because I wanted to drink them later. This is what I got. I was hoping they would just mostly fill the cup. I did expect to get a less-than-full cup without the ice. But this is a little crazy. They are barely a third full. It's even more disappointing because this is the only place you can get it within at least 15 miles. I can't bring myself to pay 5.50 a piece if this is all the tea you get for that price. Food was decent.

    When we shopping for a new house my husband found this place. Our server was great and made Some amazing recommendations. We love Asian food and since new to the area this is our top for this side of town.

    Khao Soi (Curry with noodles)
    Nadia S.

    Yes- it's as good as everyone says. Such a chill, bright restaurant. Nice friendly servers; most amazing mango sticky rice I've ever had; beautiful drinks; and the khao soi Super authentic tastes!! Please open a location in Cary/Apex one day!!! But until then, I'll definitely make the drive down here again to try more things!

    The Kai Zaap (Thai Spice Chicken Wings) are amazing!! If you have not tried them, get over here and grab a bite
    Liz M.

    So good! These wings are a must try! Just the right amount of spice! Absolutely the best Thai food i have had in the states! Green Curry is lovely too!

    My husband took me here for Mother's Day lunch. First time. Service was excellent and the food was fresh. We started with the tofu appetizer. I had the duck and rice. My son had the chicken and rice and my husband had the tom ka soup. He asked for medium spice and ended up adding more spice. All very good. Will go back.

    I've had Khao Sen to-go twice now, and I've loved it! Their food is amazing and somehow gives me a "Thai meets Vietnamese" tease. I'm obsessed with their Thai tea with boba, and the sweet sausage fried rice is my all-time favorite. This restaurant is a go-to for the hubs and I, and we're so glad you're near. Cheers!

    If I could give them 10 stars I would. We just came back from Thailand and this food was on par. We started with the crab sticks and dumplings which were just amazing. My wife got the Sausage fried rice which she loved. I got the Khao Soi. I was in Chaing Mai Heaven. It was delicious. We ended with Sticky Rice with Mango. Just perfect. The staff here was so nice and welcoming and we loved the modern decor. We will 100% come back and very soon. You will tell me Kop Kun Ka if you come here.

    Mango and rice.

    This place is excellent. From the sushi to the fountain Diet Coke. I will definitely be back. They…read morehave both indoor and outdoor seating. Everyone was very nice and welcoming. Would recommend making a reservation. Was pretty busy we got there, even on a Sunday. We started with the pork goyza and had two of the rolls. All very good.

    Having heard such positive things about Osha since we moved to the area, it has been on our list of…read moremust try Thai spots. We set up a reservation as it is can be difficult to just drop in unless you are prepared to wait. The atmosphere is great, with excellent ambiance, and all the staff that we met were very upbeat and kind. To start we had the Tom Kha soup and a sushi roll, spicy tuna. The Tom Kha was very disappointing. It just had a very very watered down taste with hardly any coconut flavor. It was missing the traditional Thai flavor and had zero sour flavor to it that is usually brought in by the lime juice at the end. Perhaps they forgot to make it properly. The spicy tuna roll was just ok. It had heavy rice with a small amount of tuna. Freshness was good. My wife ordered the Pad Thai which must be the most popular dish as everyone was ordering it. Her feedback was that it was average and a bit dry. I ordered the Pad Kra Pao which was very good. The flavor was excellent and I used the remaining sauce to put over some steamed white rice. My only feedback was the spice level. I specifically asked my server if the spice was traditional Thai level or was he grading the spice on a more moderate scale. He assured me, the levels were Thai and that the food was very spicy. I went medium spice and it was very light and tame. I would go more spicy in the future. Overall the experience was a nice outing and we enjoyed the location. The food however was very mid range. Having traveled throughout Thailand, I was really hoping to have a more authentic experience but this feels like a sort of fusion. We have now tried 4 or 5 Thai spots around the greater Triangle area and Osha has been at the bottom food wise. With such amazing other feedback, I have to wonder if we just experienced an off-night for the amazing Thai food
