I have eaten Thai all over the world and know the food well. I ordered the MEE Krob which is a fried noodle dish. Every Thai place makes this and is a standard for beginners exploring thai. My order wasn't fried and came out as a soup. What? Menu shows picture of mee krob and what it should be. I pointed to picture to ask if that it was what I received." I no understand" was response. Oh boy. Waitress appeared annoyed but allowed me to returned it and get something else. Not much better. Go to Thai Chili in Aurora for goo d cheap Thai. read more

The Panang Curry, the Pad See You, and the Pad Prik Khibg are all excellent! Lunch comes with soup and egg roll and dinner comes with soup. Love this place! read more

It's not super fancy, but as far as a regular "I want Pad Thai and some curry spot", this is it! Authentic (as much as someone would say never having been to Thailand), tasty, good service, and not the normal Boulder price tag. I'm new to Boulder but this will be one of my go-tos for lunch in the area. They had a good variety of standard and unique lunch options. I usually like things spicy (think Santiago's hot green chilli) and was pretty pleased with a medium. It seems like a family run operation, the people inside were very helpful and sweet. read more

Best Thai in Boulder. Quick yummy and authentic. Their crispy spring rolls are my favorite. Get extra sauce and pickled Thai chilies for free:) curry is amazing. Red is our preference:) read more

You will not be sniffling because Thai food is spicy, you will be because this is so supreme!! Never had a bad food there, always had just the right amount, i've always walked out feeling like I'm walking on sunshine with this place. read more

I Love Khow Thai! Such a nice place to eat in the summer especially when you can sit on the tables outside and walk up the hill to listen to music I also like to have take out and sit by the creek. Thai is my favorite food and Khow Thai does a great job! read more

LOVE THIS PLACE!!! Cleaned our plates and want to go back in time and eat this again. Shelby, our server, is wonderful. Thank you for a great first experience! We will be back!! read more

Very sweet staff, accommodating to substitutions and gluten intolerance. Bright and cheerful atmosphere. We tried 4 different curries at our table and all were delicious. read more

If you are one to like the cheap flavoring packages found in ramen noodles - Khow Thai Cafe would be the ideal place for you. I ordered the Tom Yum soup with a side of egg rolls and rice. The consistency of the soup was bland and watery. The looks of it when the soup arrived was already displeasing. However the egg rolls were no better, as if they were fresh from the microwave oven. Everyone knows that a good egg roll can hold up by itself without a dipping sauce. I'm afraid the sauce that accompanied with my egg rolls might overpower the taste buds for unsuspecting costumers. Lastly the rice. I didn't even get a scent of jasmine - to which I call this the "filler." I get the hint my waiter just wanted to get the job done. A little human socializing wouldn't hurt. I label Khow Thai Cafe "Chop Suey" - Made to fill the craving for exotic taste. read more

Overall Khow Thai is just pretty "meh." I've been here a few times, and every dish I've ordered has been very so-so. My main complaint is that the curries in particular are lacking in flavor and pretty plain. Another thing I didn't like is with dishes such as Pad Thai they often don't ask the spice level, and when I did request a medium spice level all they did was make the same dish but put a bunch of dry red pepper flakes on it. Not the usual Thai approach. Again, the food isn't terrible, but there are much better places in town if you're looking for Thai food. read more

I love this place. My work colleages and I eat here often. It really is the best Thai food in Boulder. I especially like the Pad Kee Mow and the Pad Kra Prau is good too. The Pad Thai is nothing special, so I recommend trying these and other dishes even if you haven't had them before. I love their Thai Iced Tea. read more

The Tom Yum soup and PadSewEw is very good here (better than other places in town). The parking is not good but aside from that this place is great. It's been around for a long time and has always been consistent. The curries are also good. Many vegetarian options. read more

I've eaten here twice, and the second time was only to see if something had gone horribly wrong on my first visit, since so many people seem to like this place. I tried four different dishes over the two visits, and on each one, the food was too sweet. I have eaten a fair amount of Thai food in different US cities - this is the most weirdly sweet I've ever tasted. The chicken had an unwelcome, over-boiled quality. Ick. I will not go back. read more

Best Panang Curry in Boulder. I've never eaten anything else there because I love the Panang so much... Like I could bathe in it.

It's the best Thai food in Boulder! Truly authentic with just the right amount of spice. You can't go wrong ordering from here!

Ok, this is THE place to get Thai food in Boulder. Seriously, if you like Thai food you must visit this place. It's THAT good. Beware though that it's extremely small and always packed, so plan ahead or get take out. Their take out is excellent as well. Truly authentic food, at excellent prices. I can't give enough praise about this place. read more

I am unfortunately enjoying my last bowl of Panang Curry from Khow Thai. I have frequented this place for years and have always put up with the owners general grumpiness towards customers because the food has been good. Sometimes I will even walk over for lunch takeout and if I don't have a bowl at work I will ask them for a takeout container to eat from at my desk (the curry typically comes in a large plastic container that is not conducive to eat from). However, today I was informed by the server that I would have to pay an addtional fee for the takeout tray. Sorry Larry, but that was the last straw. Thankfully, a friend recently turned me on to Buddha Cafe, where the food is just as good, if not better, and the staff seems to sincerely appreciate your business. My new favorite! read more

Whenever we're in Boulder and want Thai food, we go to Khow Thai. The food is always tasty, regardless of what we order. The soup they serve with every meal is simple, a little sweet, but very good. Their larb will leave you with major onion breath, but it's worth it. All of their noodle dishes and curries are delicious. After a hike, Khow Thai hits the spot. read more

BE AWARE! New owners make things totally differently, Previously vegetarian are no longer vegetarian. New additions to previously delicious meals have changed and are no longer the same, nor do they disclose them in the meal descriptions. Be very careful of what you order. Be very specific of what you would like AND ASK what has been changed. I used to love khow thai, but now I have to be weary of what I order. New owners have changed things without changing the menu descriptions. BUYERS BE WARE!!!! Also, "extra broccoli" means 9 pieces instead of 5...totally not worth the extra $1.50 oh, the broccoli is white... read more

We found this place driving through town hungry and unable to find the original restaurant we were hunting for. We are glad we got lost and found Know Thai because it was absolutely delicious. They gave complimentary soup which was yummy. We got the chicken pad thai and chicken red curry and while the chicken pad thai was good, no complaints, the red curry chicken was AMAZING!!!! I enjoyed every single bite and was sad when it was over. I do wish the service was a little faster and nicer but its okay because the food far from makes up for it. read more

Best Thai food in Boulder! Their yellow curry with chicken is delicious, and just like the dishes you'll find in Thailand, only with a little more meat. Dishes come with roll and soup! Low key location, close to downtown, perfect place for lunch. Small parking lot around back. read more

Solid Thai in Boulder. The best we've found since moving here from Chicago three years ago. Gets a unanimous "yes" in our house we we throw out options for ordering out - and that's not easy. read more

Probably the most horrible pad thai i ever ate, surprised they still survive. Tofu you can tell no longer fresh, and they obsessed with too sweet, in their soup, food read more

Great Thai place. I love the green curry and the pad thai. the wait staff is friendly and the environment is kool. I eat here whenever i want good thai in boulder! read more

The curries are pretty good, as is the Pad Thai (we get it without fish sauce or egg).. the chicken satay is good too. I can't say that anything I've tried here is *great*.. high good at best, and sometimes just ok. Overpriced for what you get. it's neither terrible nor great... the price and service leave a bit to be desired, but the food feels healthier than your average thai, and that means something for me. read more

The massaman curry and pad see you are our favourites. When you call for pick up, your order is almost always ready before expected. They also always give you complimentary soup when you dine in or pick up, which is fun and nice. They are also really good at listening to spice ratings! (We like medium). We've been coming here for years and the service is great and the food is delicious. read more

Just a total no all around. I ordered carry out and was first "greeted" by a little blonde who had about as much customer service as a tick. This was the first time I almost walked out. The second was when I spotted them microwaving dish after dish. Now- Im no chef, but if I wanted something microwaved I would've stayed home and saved 30$. The last time I almost walked out was when I had to wait an additional thirty minutes from already waiting thirty minutes to pick up my carry out. I was really hoping this place would redeem itself with excellent food, but it was terrible. Or maybe it just seemed extra terrible because I'm pretty sure half of my order (including my fountain drink) was sitting there the entire time I waited- it was nice and cold by the time I got it home- all of four doors away. read more

Well, I gave Know Thai another chance the other night, and boy am I glad. I was really missing Thai since I moved here from San Francisco. While it doesn't quite live up to my high expectations, we really enjoyed our food. Great tom ka soup, panang curry and rice noodle dish. We'll return, or probably just get take out...but still, I'm glad this place exists! read more

Not a big fan of the Khow Thai. Not horrible, not great. I agree with Barbara F... the food is oddly sweet, and the chicken had a bit of an off flavor. I spent a few months in Thailand eating street food, so I can vouch for the fact that the food here is not authentic whatsoever. Good thing I have Thai Avenue just up the road! read more

This is my new favorite Thai restaurant in Boulder. I like it because 1) you get free soup, 2) the prices are good for what you get, and 3) you can order take out online! I recently ordered online, and when I went to pick it up, the place was super busy. I thought, "oh no, I'm going to have to wait", but actually it was ready for me, steaming hot! The man who runs it (I think), was very nice even though they were very busy. I will be coming back! read more

Mediocre food, at best, and my partner declared it the worst Thai food ever. I have had worse (San Antonio, for instance). The atmosphere lacked at any charm but the server was very pleasant and food was delivered quickly. As with other reviewers, I'm rather surprised at how this joint was rated 'best' of anything. Anybody who rates this above 2 stars has apparently never had a good Thai dinner. read more

Very good Thai food, reasonable prices. Lunch combos are great. You get a soup, egg roll and your entree. Spring rolls were ok but they skimp on the shrimp. For a single spring roll, there was one small shrimp. Its on campus, so dont expect a great ambiance and I expect it would be busy during lunch / dinner time. there is a private parking lot. portions are a bit on the smaller side. read more

Good food but terrible service. They seemed very unorganized/overwhelmed but the place wasn't even that busy. Loved the Green Curry but Buddha has a larger serving. read more

For lunch, this place is perfect. In fact, you likely won't find more flavor in most of Thailand. Well, OK, I'm sure Bangkok will have the flavor, but not at the super cheap prices foreigners come to expect. Anyhow, the soup was fantastic. The rice very good, and just enough for lunch. It was slightly over-priced, and yes the service is sub-par; however, we go there for lunch and so that's not a high priority. If dinner...well, that's a different rating entirely. read more

Not as good as I expected from reading all the good reviews. Service was lousy. For example, our order of Satay chicken was so undercooked, and the waitress was not happy when my husband told her. We eventually got another order which was slightly order cooked. And I guess because the waitress thought we were "problem" customers, she left the undercooked satay chicken and all our dirty dishes on our table when giving us our bill. No tip for poor service with an attitude. Never going back!!! read more

Took a risk first time ordering. 2 1/2 hours for delivery is ridiculous. Food was, at best, luke warm when it got here. Yes, the Broncos game was on and delivery orders were significant but other restaurants make a plan. In defense of the owner, he offered me some compensation for the next time. Will there be a next time? Doubt it. read more

Wait staff is friendly and the people behind the counter are friendly. Soup is good and so is the egg roll you now get for the lunch special. Used to be just part of lunch. Weird. I did have the Pad Sew-Ew and it was too heavy with the oyster sauce. Definitely have had better pad sew-ew here in prior years. Hope they get back to good basics with some of these dishes! read more

Worst Thai food I've ever had in my life. People may think this place is great, only because they can't compare it to anything because, generally, Boulder is lacking in excellent Thai food. The pad thai tasted like it had been hanging out on the floor of the kitchen for a while. Yet, simultaneously, it had no flavor at all. But you can't dress up pad thai like rice with things like soy sauce or sweet and sour, so despite my attempts to give it some flavor, they were futile. There are also some strange, un-identifiable objects in the dish that are hard and chewy, and bland just like the rest of it. I have to be fair and say that the pad thai here is the only thing I've tried, but it was disgusting enough to put me off trying anything else here. I would say that Chy Thai's pad thai is immensely better than Khow Thai's pad thai. The service at Khow Thai was not friendly, either. Kind of a pretentious attitude. If you want good thai food, Chy Thai is probably the best I've had in Boulder. Always friendly, always fresh, always comfortable. read more

GARBAGE CUSTOMER SERIVCE- DO NOT GO! This restaurant took an hour, literally an hour, to produce two chicken pai Thais. No sorrys, no discounts nor any measurable apologetic behavior. The restaurant owner rolled her eyes and underserved the portions after taking forever to produce anything on a platter. Your money is best off at any other Thai place in boulder. Buyer beware! This account was made right after eating here, felt so wronged that I had to voice my opinion. read more

The food is great but we ordered pickup and waited 30 minutes and went to pick it up when we got there they didn't even start are order and we waited 25 minutes then we got are food finally I had a friend taking me to receive and busters I did not get to eat till after Dave and busters I got back from Dave and busters at 10pm. read more
