What an amazing find. The service was friendly and the food was exceptional, on par with Thai restaurants in far bigger cities. I ordered Thai hot and the chef came out to size me up and make sure I knew what I was ordering. Yes it was very spicy but the blending of flavors was perfect. I live several hours away and I will 100% come back. Is it fancy? Nope. Is it great food and service? Yep. read more

The beef noodle soup is delicious. The flavors are out of this world. Our new favorite Thai restaurant for sure!

First time I've had food here is delicious. Very authentic Thai plenty of spice on the table to add some fire if you need it. read more

Consistently excellent! The wings and Pad Thai noodles are particularly noteworthy. We always make an effort to patronize local businesses within the community. read more

Absolutely delicious Thai, we stared off with their Fresh Salad Rolls, thenDana had Beef Black Pepper Sauce dinner and Steven had Pad Woonsen. For desert we shared a Mango Coconut Sticky Rice. All their sauces were delicious and very light. First time in and will be back. read more

I'd give 10 stars if I could! Everything was FANTASTIC! This was our first visit and definitely not our last. The service was amazing, our server was so kind and happy to answer any of my questions! Our food arrived quickly and everything was hot, fresh and DELICIOUS The chef even came out and asked if we liked everything- very cool! We ordered the beef noodle soup at a spice level of 2, which is perfect if you want the tiniest bite but no pain or runny nose My husband ordered the chef special and pad Thai at a spice level of 4- a good kick for him who has a higher spice tolerance than I do! But no runny nose or worry about what will happen in the bathroom later We also tried the mango sticky rice- lord have mercy! What a perfect dessert. So delectable. So so good. Will absolutely be back. Loved the vibes, the service, and man that food has me dreaming about it and seriously ready to go back tomorrow! Highly recommend!!! read more

Food was not good and item that was not ordered was given. Overall not good Thai unfortunately

Took 17 minutes for her to approach our table. She gave us water and walked away. Never asked us what we wanted to drink. Spring rolls and chicken wings finally came out. Rolls were chewy, bland and very little inside. Wings were burnt on outside AND cold inside! The cook came storming out from the back around to the front cooler, grabbed a water glared at everyone hatefully and then stomped back to the kitchen again... vibes were so off that We got up and left. Now the owner wants to accuse us of sneaking out and stealing, let me add this. Hubby took one bite of tiny spring roll. He spit it out onto the plate. No filling, oily and very chewy. Considering the wait, the attitude, the atmosphere AND the food was slop, yep we walked out SLOWLY. We did NOT sneak. We did not run...we actually walked very slowly, and we also waited in our car to see if anyone would come out. No one came out. No one cared whether or not the food was good there, the attitude was terrible. The roll was so disgusting that we could not eat it so NO we will not pay for ONE bite that my husband took of a spring roll and then spit back onto his plate and we had water to drink. Nothing was touched on our plate of burnt yet cold wings that we received. We never received our actual meal. We were there almost an hour! Do better for yourself so you can do better for others. We took a picture of our plate and the restaurant before we left. We never received our order. We only received spring rolls and wings, and we left because of the attitude, and the wings were burnt and cold and the spring rolls were in edible. Nothing was missing from that spring roll plate except for one bite and it actually got spit right back onto the plate so it is also still there. We did not take anything from your restaurant ..not one bite actually ..so good luck with your police report, ma'am that's terrible to do to people, threatening police reports. We're not afraid ..we have evidence. Also we knew the people that were sitting beside us so they can witness. How awful of you. You can try to shame us, but it is you that needs to look in the mirror. We are excellent guests and tippers. We are not rude or disrespectful. read more

Neat little jewel of a restaurant with decorations all over! The food was real good. We had calamari and steamed pot stickers, both excellent appetizers. The Garlic chicken was excellent and the Pad Num Prik Pao with chicken was enjoyed by my beautiful wife. Don't forget to indulge yourself with the Thai Tea! Excellent service, never wanted for anything! We will recommend this place and be back! read more

The food is so good and the people are very friendly! It has become a favorite for us.

Really good food with attentive staff and servers. We had the green curry, yellow curry and pad see ew, and everything was full of flavor. The curries were packed with veggies, and they did a great job with my son's laundry list of allergies. I was talked down from ordering my typical high spice level and wish I would have stuck with the initial request. Scale is 1-10, and they acted like an 8 was insane. I went with a 7, but should have gone 8-9. Got my wife and daughter a 2, but they wanted more of a 4-5. If you don't eat a lot of Thai or Indian food, then stay below 5, but if you frequently get really spicy food, stick with that 8-10! read more

Fabulous food, spice is dailed in specially if you like it hot! But if you like it mild they flavor is there The service is one on one always there to answer your questions. read more

Wonderful dining experience. This place is adorable inside and we had the SWEETEST waitress. We are so excited to have great quality Thai food here in Columbia!!!! We love noodles and we got the Pad Thai and Pad See Ew and they were amazing. Kids loved them too. Fried pork appetizer was really good as well. I'd like to add that my wife has dietary restrictions (gluten free) and the waitress was so accommodating and took extra steps to make sure she was taken care of! I feel like the portions were really good for the price too. We will be back!!! read more

Delicious everytime! Service is great & cozy vibe :) prices are normal and make sense for what you get. I've always been satisfied whether I am taking away or dining in. read more

The food was delicious. I got Beef Noodle Soup (Pho) and my husband got Pad Kee Mao level 2 spice. We also got Mango Sticky Rice and Pandan Sticky Rice, both of which were good but we should have only bought one to share because the portions were large. HOWEVER, we waited for our meal for an hour and a half and then an additional 20 minutes for the sticky rices. The food was good BUT not worth a two hour wait. I believe there is only one chef and two servers and they must take priority of mobile orders over dine in. Prices are fair, the servers are kind (although, they acted as if the long wait times were non existent), the food was good. I will not be eating there until they hire more staff (chef's, servers, etc.). Food is 3/5 but because of wait time I'd rate this place 0/5. read more

I ordered the chicken fired rice and quite literally got 3 small pieces of chicken about the size of a quarter, not to mention it was the most gummy/ pail white "chicken" I'd ever seen. Probably will not go back cause i basically paid 15 bucks for some rice read more

I ordered a bunch of dishes for pick up yesterday, everything was fresh hot and delicious! They were very good at accommodating my gluten free requests! read more

Fresh and delicious! I took my 10 year old daughter who isn't the most adventurous and she loved everything! The potstickers, garlic chicken and pad see ew were all so good. It's a cute place. I hope Columbia shows up to support it! Waitress was great! read more

Khao-Wan Thai Kitchen - Thai Near Me - Columbia, Tennessee

We had the most amazing experience here! Tried the pineapple fried rice and Massaman curry. So good! The service was kind and friendly. The chef came out and chatted with us towards the end of the night. This is a small operation with heart and soul! Highly recommend. read more

We had a Thai lunch here and were impressed with the flavorful food and the friendly and attentive service. I had the best green curry ever. It had tender chicken and crisp-tender vegetables with lots of umami flavor in the broth. My wife had Penang curry and enjoyed it as well. This is now our favorite Thai restaurant in the area. read more

Enter into another culture as you soak in the beauty of this restaurant very close to the town square. It is on a pretty deserted part about a block from the square and you would miss it except for the flag announcing Thai food! Tasty dishes and great service with reasonable prices. Can't wait to go again to try more dishes. read more

Delicious food and excellent service! Looking forward to returning next time I am traveling through Columbia!

Check out Khao-Wan Thai Kitchen! We'd heard great things, so we decided to give it a try with a party of 8. We called ahead to ask if they'd still serve us, given it was 45 minutes before closing, and they were more than happy to accommodate. The food was fantastic, and the service was top notch. Highly recommend giving it a try if you haven't yet! Thanks to the Khao-Wan Thai Kitchen team at for an excellent experience! read more

Heard great things about the food! Went on a Friday night at about 6:00. We were immediately informed by the only waitress, in a gruff voice, "It's gonna be a long wait with five tables ahead of you". Initially, she said that we'd need to wait until she cleaned a table but then identified a table for two in the back that was "clean"...it was dirty with the previous customers' plates. Nevertheless, we sat down and waited. It wasn't long that we noticed a handful of tables with people seated and waiting to order. Eventually, a party of four got up and left without ordering. That's when we knew that we wouldn't get served any time soon. We decided to leave as well. Bad first impression however, we'll give it one more shot some other time. It's do or die on the next visit. read more
