I ordered the duck with crispy basil leaves for delivery . I really like it, the duck was roasted and crispy on the edges like it like it. The menu doesn't state it but it came with a side of white rice which I was secretly hoping for. I really like that they added that, it's only right, right ? Delicious dish, well packaged . Rice was fluffy and sticky. I'll def be ordering from here again. I ordered their Thai tea which I'm not a fan of but other than that, great service via packaging my dinner and great tasting food. Thank you ! read more

Delicious tuna. I highly recommend. A little hard to find parking but once you get inside it's wonderful. Always served fast and fresh! :)

The best authentic Thai restaurant in Fairfield County. The recipes are like no other I've had at any Thai restaurant. The owner takes personal pride in the food she cooks and the atmosphere is pleasant. A must try if you love Thai cuisine. I'm read more

Been going for 25 or so years, mainly takeout and it is consistently some of the best takeout food we get. Whole family enjoys, mainly Massaman and Penang curries and the Pad Thai and spring rolls are excellent...Kai Mai Muang as well read more

Food is not good. Chicken is overcooked, rubbery. The beef penang is inedible. They serve small portions of rice with the lunch special so that you need to order more. Prices are ok but I'd rather pay more for good food. I would say that, unfortunately, this is the worst Thai food I have ever had. 2 stars because the waiter was friendly and attentive. read more

Honestly my favorite Thai in town. owner is super nice. noodle and chicken dishes are solid. Truly the king. also i.

Amazing & truly authentic Thai food . Great service and quality . Our family loves King & I.

I love this place!! The poa pia spring rolls are unmatched, the food is fresh and delicious and the family that runs this place is so lovely. I go out of my way to get King & I every time I am in CT. Love it and highly recommend. read more

0130 Jul 22, 2025 Always enjoyed The King and I but had not been since before Covid. We entered the restaurant and it still had the Relaxed and very welcoming atmosphere . I Went with a few friends who were not happy that it could be spicy so they went with the mild . Well they complained it was to spicy but as they continued eating it lol when finished both said " I would definitely come back again." If you never ever have spicy food even the tinniest amount seems to explode in your mouth but once the initial shock was over they realized heh this isn't bad at all. It actually added a nice level of flavor. Needless to say we all went home satisfied and happy ! No wondering why after 38 years they are still in business. Great food, decent portions, reasonably priced and the nicest people you could ask for. read more

Have not eaten here in years but there pad Thai is the best! And they have a bar if you want to get drunk or eat drunken noodles. The owner lives in Trumbull and the food is great near a Vazzy's on the Stratford, CT line. Near treelands! read more

I ordered lunch from the king and I today. I called and asked if they could swap the chicken massaman curry for shrimp but she said they couldn't. The lunch deal was $8.50 and came with rice. She said I had to order the dinner portion which was much bigger- it was $14.95. Fine. My friend who DID order the chicken and my order were proportionally the same BUT in different packaging. Overall, not a huge deal because the food was worth the $14.95! Flavorful, with just enough "kick." The woman was friendly, the dining room is clean. It is inside an "eh" strip plaza and it isn't the prettiest on the outside but it is nice on the inside. I recommend stopping in because they have great food for decent pricing.

The ambiance is very nice. The service is excellent. The food is great. Recommend to get 2 appetizers, Chicken Satay and Wonton. Dinner, get Shrimp Pad Thai and Chicken Thon Bu Ree. Bona Petite. read more

Strip mall location, easy parking. This is one of my favorite places to grab lunch when I am in the Stratford-Bridgeport area. No matter what you order for lunch specials, they are quite delicious. The service is personal, caring, but without being overbearing. The common restroom is always clean. This place may look sketchy from the outside, but once you get inside, you are in for a real treat. Don't be shy, give the place a try! read more

Food was very good. Very nice setting, went at 12:30 and no one was there was the only thing. Good service. read more

King & I - So so good and the guy was very friendly. - Thai Near Me - Bridgeport, Connecticut

This place is so cute and well kept. Family owned which I love. There are so many dishes to choose from. You can choose a few appetizers and become full. We ordered the prawn rolls , chicken dumplings, vegetables in garlic sauce , a clear noodle with shrimp and chicken. Last but not least fried ice cream which is always amazing . Come here you won't be disappointed. read more

I've always loved the Thai food at the King & I because it taste wonderful and it's high-quality. I'm quite picky when it comes to food, but the King & I serves the best, most flavorful Thai dishes I've ever had. I've been coming here for years, and every meal has been consistently outstanding, and everyone in my family agrees. read more

We only live a few miles from this restaurant and never tried it until tonight. We were impressed with the fresh, tasty food. The restaurant is quaint with rich culture. The service was kind and respectable. We will definitely return and will share our recommendations with our friends and family. read more

The food is fantastic here. The massaman curry and pad thai are amazing, and the spice level is great. For reference, we order the spice level medium most times. Chicken satay and spring rolls are also good. I could list more items that I've enjoyed, but overall, it's a consistently great place for takeout. read more

Do not order from this app. I made this mistake yesterday on a drive from Boston to NY. We ordered two entrees and two apps and when I arrived the waiter told me he cancelled the order. "Kitchen can't handle it". He apologized but didn't really offer to make it or anything. Just turned me away. The place looked nice and the food smelled good but I'll never know as I didn't get to try it. read more

I generally do not eat alot of Thai food. I have some food reactions to certain things so am careful. But I always liked King and I. I did not have many choices so I'd get the same thing every time I was herealways but it was pretty good. That is the chicken Satay. That never negatively affected me and I loved the taste. King and I is very clean inside and I could see anyone who loves Thai food going crazy for this place. It's small but not tiny and the staff are quite friendly. read more

I've ordered takeout from here many times. The drunken noodles are amazing. The right amount of vegetables and a perfect level of spice and flavor. read more

Four of us arrived early at 5:30pm. It took over an hour and a half! There was only one server for the whole restaurant. Even though it wasn't crowded because only three tables were occupied including ours. Each table had two or four per table. Still service was at a snails pace. My appetizer was grossly overcooked which wasn't received well when I told our server. Although my dinner curry was pretty good. I did notice that my dish was smaller then my other two friends that had the same entree. That is really fishy but I didn't point it out to the sever. It really was over all disappointing and unpleasant. I remember being impressed by this place a year or two ago. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone not after the cringey experience I had this time. read more

I love the atmosphere of this restaurant it's very beautiful. The po pia and the wontons are good appetizer options to order the sweet garlic sauce they're served with is better than other places I've had Thai food. The drunken noodles come with beef chicken and shrimp and it is so delicious when your craving a good noodle dish, you should opt for spicy it's not too spicy and it really elevates the flavor. The Thai tea here is good though I wish they served a bit more. The service is really good though. read more

Favorite Thai restaurant. All dishes are made when you order. The quality has always been consistent for me. Defiantly outperforms many other Thai restaurants nearby and in Fairfield. Excellent Pad Thai, spring rolls, as well as fantastic curries. Small staff, but that only makes the place feel cozy. read more

Good luck catching them when they're open, hours say open till 9:30pm but 9 times out of 10 you go there and they're not ! love ya thought see you soon. read more

Really great Thai food. Have come here several times including recently. Each time, I come away wanting to come back again. The place is non-descript from the outside, but pleasant on the inside. Service is attentive and, importantly, spaced out the dishes right. And its a place that when it says "spicy", it means it. And that's a good thing. Pad Thai - excellent. Chicken in a spicy chili-garlic sauce. Outstanding. Only "complaint" is that portions are normal sized -- meaning no leftovers for the next day. Oh well, we'll just have to come back. read more

I love their curry dishes- sweet and spicy with the perfect amount of cumin or massaman. Depending on the day, service can be a little bit slow even when the resturaunt is empty. One big draw back is that they don't offer rad na on their menu- you have to ask for it. read more

King & I - Thai Near Me - Bridgeport, Connecticut

I've been coming here for over 20 years... had the Chicken Pad Rama, shrimp chu chee and wontons recently and as usual, not a thing has changed. Great as always, highly recommend showing this place and the wonderful people who run it some love! Not saying this out of nostalgia or bias, this place is super solid. You won't be disappointed. read more

The food here is on par with some of the best Thai places I've tried. I'm not crazy about the tunnel setup of the restaurant. For some people I'm sure that is part of the ambiance but for me it is crowded and cramped and noisy as well. The service is pretty good and the food comes out quickly. If you just want to eat great Thai food, this is your spot but my advice would be to order takeout and enjoy it off site. Perhaps on a quiet night it could be a good date spot. If it isn't loud and crowded I'm guessing it can be very intimate. It can never be a good business meeting spot if you have documents to spread out. If you're bringing in some big boys or girls you might want to rethink this as a choice as well. I typically order the duck but I've had the whole fish and practically all the curries. They never miss. The portions and prices are reasonable and if you want to try something new the chances are good you'll enjoy it here. I typically like to share appetizers with the table and try a little of everything. It's hard to go wrong here and if it wasn't for the setup of the restaurant I would probably give this place 5 stars. read more

Quiet place with delicious home style Thai food. The Drunken noodles are always great. read more

I do both take out and eat in here! The food is always consistently good . Been here about 5 or 6 times and just keep coming back for more !! The ambiance is nice and they are friendly . One of the best shrimp pad tai ever ... love there spring rolls . Options are really endless here . Always leave happy. The only good restaurant in this neighborhood. read more

Why only 1 ? We were looking forward to dinner , we arrived at 6:15 , only 2 other couples in the restaurant but lots of people standing waiting for takeout orders After waiting almost 10 minutes we realized there was no hope in getting a waiter or putting in a dinner order We decided to go eat dinner at restaurant that had wait staff and were happy to serve us read more

Bravo. Amazing food in a surprising location from the outside I would just drive by oh what a mistake you walk in to a hidden gem with amazing food and a friendly staff read more

Food is excellent! Looking forward to eating hete again i loved the authentic flavor of the food

This is a cozy quaint indoor dining restaurant. I was excited to get my order which included duck. I was underwhelmed when I saw the serving amount. I barely had an adequate amount of duck. I think they can do better. The flavor is good. Also, I was surprised to receive a small amount of rice. read more

Omg so hongry! Yes I did that on purpose! We spent almost $35 and I'm starving. JESUS CHRISTMAS! Usually in a Thai restaurant, you can bathe in the food for that kind of money. I'm so bummed. I ordered two entrees for my kids and I and had to take them to Wendy's after wards because we were all still hungry. Oh hell naw! And the food was so good...I wanted to lick the plate (well that and I was HONGRY), but I guess I won't be back :'( read more

The king and I does an amazing job with all of their dishes. The curries, drunken noodle and duck dishes are delicious. If you can go for the lunch-the combination that are offered are a great price. The dinner prices are a little more than I would like to pay but I still go back because I know I can always count on a consist great meal. My favorites: Panang beef, tamarind duck dish, drunken noodles and tom yum soup. If you are looking for a great take out meal - look no further read more

We discovered this place by chance a few years back while looking for a new dining experience. We had never had Thai food before, and decided to give King and I a shot. Suffice it to say we were blown away by the freshness and the flavor of the food here, and have been back many times. There have been occasions when the service has been a little... tedious. I'll chalk this up to a different pace in lifestyles, as the folks here in the Northeast can be a bit hurried and impatient (talking about myself here). For the most part the staff have been friendly and prompt. This place doesn't get packed often, but we have seen it happen on occasion. They've done a decent job with the decor considering the location. There are a few things on the menu that don't appeal to my palate (larb, crystal noodels), but the dishes that I do like, I like A LOT! The chicken satay, duck with crispy basil, Ped Grob, any of the curry dishes and the drunken noodles are really delicious! The dishes that have coconut milk, peanut sauce and the accompanying cooking oils aren't the most healthy ingredients you can ingest, but they do create a delicious flavor explosion in your mouth. Definitely worth the extra calories. The pan fried dishes are pretty good, and they also have a surprisingly decent selection of wines (nothing extravagant however). Now we've been to the west coast, and had Thai food that makes anything here in CT seem sub par. However, for this part of Connecticut I'd say King and I is one of the best Thai restaurants in the immediate area (outside of NH). The crap that all of the Asian fusion places try to pass off as "Thai food" doesn't even come close to what you'll get here. Well worth a try. Many thanks to King and I for making our first Thai experience a positive one! read more

I've always been a fan of King and I even before they did their renovation or opened their location in Fairfield. As other reviewers have commented, it is nondescript - located in a strip mall to the right of Vazzi. It truly was a hole in the wall when I first discovered it years ago that offered outstanding Thai food at a reasonable price. Today, the restaurant is renovated on the inside but the food is equally outstanding. I've tried a number of dishes from mild to HOT and they were all tasty and enjoyable. I've been to the Fairfield location and I've never been as impressed with the food or atmosphere as I have been in their Bridgeport location. That said, the food is good in Fairfield, but if you're indifferent about the location, I would definitely recommend Bridgeport. Check it out peeps! read more

A hole in the wall in Bridgeport with unattended server/owners. The food was bland from appetizers to entrees. The portions are meager to say the very least. Very measured portions to the grain!! Waaay overpriced for the neighborhood and food quality. A total waste of money and time! A piss poor representation of true Thai cuisine! read more
