My family and I have dined here about 5 times in the last 3 months, and this is one of our favorite restaurants in NKY to fill our wide range of Asian food cravings. The restaurant is quaint, yet open, and totally family friendly. Servers are warm and courteous, even when they are slammed during peak dinner time (6:30-8). You get to choose from a Japanese and Thai menu, which contain a wide selection of equally delicious dishes, including fresh Sushi. You get 3 good restaurants in 1! Some dishes we've tried multiple times and recommended based on balanced flavors and consistency are: THAI: Spicy basil pork- has sweet scent of holy basil and abundant sauce. Our favorite to pour over rice. Papaya salad- full of flavor, but be conservative on your spice level selection ranging from 1-10. If you want "medium" spice, go with 2/3. Panang curry- you can choose your meat, but it's traditionally served with beef, which I think it's the best pairing as well. You can never go wrong with Thai curry, unless you order above your spice level ;) Pad see ew- stir fried wide rice noodles, also known as soy sauce noodles, comes with your choice of meat and veggies. Kids love it because noodles are soft and sauce is sweet. Crowd pleaser. JAPANESE: Katsu don- crispy chicken or pork cutlet drenched in sweet & salty sauce mixed with scrambled eggs and caramel used onions served over rice in a bowl. Total comfort Salmon teriyaki- great, nutritionally balanced meal with perfectly grilled salmon basted with teriyaki sauce over rice, and a side of shredded and steamed carrots and zucchini. Never regret ordering this. APPS: shrimp shumai and miso soup SUSHI: Cincy roll, spicy yellowtail, salmon nigiri As you can see, there are a lot of good options here. Go with a bigger group and dine family style to get the most out of your visit. read more

Great food. They have a Thai and a Japanese/sushi menu-- be sure to look at both. Food was really good and brought out quickly. Spicy 4 was just at my limit; recommend a 3 so you can taste the other spices. We felt a bit overdresssed; other guests very casual. Not a fancy place. Toilet pipes exposed and covered with blue crystals; kinda gross. read more

perfect place for a pick me up. delicious food and wonderful cute cozy place. I love Thai and I think this may be my new favorite

People have been telling us that the food here is delicious and reasonable. Our lunch was indescribable and really good. read more

Lots of different food on the menu, it was good, but not great. Had the fried tofu,Pad Ka Phao, Pad Kee Mao, and a sushi roll. Seems like they have a local following, but for me I would say it's average read more

Tiny spot, walked in without reservation on a Friday night. Got a 7/10 spice and was about what you expect, runny nose spice. Food was 10/10

I have Pad Thai at least once a month. Oh man so darn good. Excellent service. In my opinion Nittha Siam is the best around. You can't go wrong here. Hope you enjoy as much as i do. read more

Nittha Siam Kitchen - Pad Thai spice 7 extra onions. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Highland Heights, Kentucky

We love Thai food and now that we have found this place we make it a weekly meal :-) The only regret we have is that we haven't tried it all. Can't wait until we have a bunch of friends over to the house and I can order one of everything. You cannot go wrong with the Pad Thai ( order it with extra green onion and add broccoli ) and the Thai basil beef! read more

"Their Thai food is great. The larb gai has the perfect tangy kick, and the pad see ew's smoky, savory flavor is hard to beat. The bok choy tastes fresh, and while the pad Thai is on the sweeter side, it still has great flavor. Only downside is Ambiance is not great, and since no alcohol is provided. we should be able BYOB. read more

I'm on a quest to try all Thai curry in the Northern Kentucky area and this place made the list. I ordered the red curry at a level seven spicy with chicken. It was much more spicy than I expected although I really like stuff that's fiery. It was edible and fairly flavorful. I am not a fan of the short squat containers a lot of times I'm sitting in the car going for a drive trying to eat with my husband and these containers make it very difficult. I like the tall wide ones. Overall the flavor was very good although very spicy unexpectedly and even though I'm not a fan of the to go containers I wasn't disappointed. A nice little stop in a very cute, quaint dining atmosphere. read more

Probably the best fried rice in the city. The sushi is also excellent! We highly recommend! read more

Nittha Siam Kitchen - Chicken fried rice, California roll, Alaska roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Highland Heights, Kentucky

This place is often our favorite spot to go for takeout. We always get the Green Curry with tofu and broccoli, the Massaman or Panang Curry with tofu broccoli and potato, and the Pad Thai with tofu. I usually eat the Pad Thai and the Green Curry and I will tell you, so far no place had beaten these dishes. I've been to many Thai places and so far these dishes are some of the best in the area. The Pad Thai always has a wonderful sweet taste and the curry adds on to give a savory kick. The service is always nice and the place is always nice and cozy inside, even though I've only dined in a few times. Overall, I think we order from this place about once or twice a month, which is sort of a lot. Definitely recommend! read more

In my travels I have NEVER found a place that offered Sushi & Thai and did both well but my choice to try take out of both here was a result of the Thai menu not calling PadKiMao "Drunken Noodles" as most do which to me suggests more authenticity. The sushi menu resembles many standalone sushi places so I sampled the cincy roll and salmon sashimi. I was concerned when I got there because as it's an okay place, it could use some Reno. The service was courteous though they were not busy. The sashimi was a 9/10 for quality and cut. The roll was perfect. The texture, the size, the quality, the price. Note the price reflects the smaller size of the roll but the size allows you to eat each piece in one bite and taste all the flavors of the roll. Many places feel they need to make them bigger and the larger bite ruins the experience. Also, the eel is cooked and the rest of the roll is not. This provides a great taste profile. When asked, the server said Thai was the dominant cuisine for the restaurant so with such a good sushi experience I had pretty high hopes and was not disappointed. Spiced at 3, the pad ki mao was exactly how I like it. A previous review said portion sizes were small. I think the portion size is what it should be here.. slow down and enjoy the food!!!! I'm only in town for the week and glad I found this place today because I'll be eating here all week! read more

I thought I was back In Bangkok! It was delicious I have been back three times so far. Definitely my favorite spot around here.

The saddest part about moving away from Kentucky is I'm no longer close to this place. It is my favorite Thai restaurant EVER. Omg the crab rangoons and Penang curry!!!! Nice ambiance and kind staff. read more

I was excited to go here since I'm on the search for a great pad Thai. I went for lunch today and it was not the experience I would have liked. I was surprised that they offer soup and a side, which today was an egg roll, and had high hopes after trying both, but that's where it ended. The pad Thai came and was just not appetizing to look at there were burnt sections of noodles in the dish, and I don't believe, those were rice noodles. They were more like angel hair pasta. The dish had absolutely no taste, but was swimming in oil. I ordered it with tofu and most of the pieces were good somewhere so small but edible. The person that I went to lunch with also had Pad Thai and said it was not the quality that she had before. Who knows but I will not be coming back to try another time. read more

It's hard to give 5-stars on a to-go order, but they definitely deserve 4. They prepared the food amazingly fast, and it was still so good and hot 15 mins later. I would like to return for the sushi, but the red curry and pad thai were really good! They didn't give silverware, and I really like a squeeze of lime on my pad thai. The steamed gyoza were good, but I think the fried would have been better. I will be back! read more

Just passing by and noticed it . Ver good food . Great service . That coconut soup was so good I got one to go !! read more

Nittha Siam Kitchen - Coconut soup - Sushi Bars Near Me - Highland Heights, Kentucky

We have carried out from this place regularly over the past several years and they have about a 75% hit rate on getting the order correct. This most recent event when I came back after discovering the order was missing items, received no apology until I told them this wasn't the first time. It was only mid sentence by cutting me off that she said "I'm sorry. See you next time." No she won't. The food isn't worth the price they charge to have to come back and complete the order myself. Disappointing. read more

Flavors are well realized at Nittha Siam Kitchen. Each dish we ordered had it's own distinct flavor. Vegetables were fresh, and maintained a bit of crispness. I really enjoyed the Pad Phik Khing, with tofu as the protien. The soft tofu worked well with the crisp green beans. Pad Khing was spicy, but not overly so. We felt like the dishes we ordered at 6, 8 & 10 levels of spice were all equally spicy. It was a spice that made lips tingle, but did not set the mouth on fire. Then again, we like spicy food. Pad Piao Wan was liked by my older kids. It was purchased for then, so I did not try any. Green Curry was rich and warm. Pad Thai was the least impressive dish. It needs something to brighten it. A squeeze of lime would have sufficed. One person liked the spicy tuna roll, another thought it okay, the other did not particularly care for it. All found it to be more sweet than spicy. Worried about the cleanliness. An employee came out of the kitchen eating. She proceeded to take her food from the kitchen to behind the sushi bar. There she continue eating it. In many areas, that is a health code violation. Portions of protein were lacking. Most of the dishes were packaged so that the protien was on the top. This means the orders were primarily vegetable dishes. read more

This place is amazing! The food is always tasty and fresh. This place occasionally gets packed -- which is a testament to how tasty the food is here. read more

Yikes - used to be one of my favorite spots. I always suggest to others. This (ginger shrimp) for 15 dollars? Super disappointed. Hardly any veggies or anything in here. You let this go out the door? Will think twice about spending my money here. Lazy. read more

Nittha Siam Kitchen - Pad king with shrimp - Sushi Bars Near Me - Highland Heights, Kentucky

I rarely write reviews unless it's very good or very bad but this place is amazing. Best pad thai I have had in probably six years one of the only restaurants that truly replicate the food from Thailand read more

I don't like leaving mediocre reviews especially on a family-owned place but our last few visits haven't been up to par. The pad thai is consistent and very good so I might just stick to getting that from on. If you are an employee at this place, I hope you're reading here because you need to get your rice cooker checked. The Rice is both mushy and crunchy at the same time... And this is happened for us for the last few months on several different orders. This rice is used for sushi and the curry dishes. Please test your rice before you send it out to customers because it is so grainy and mushy. We literally think twice from ordering now cause we don't know if the Rice is going to be any good that evening. read more

I have been visiting this place for years and the food is always excellent! A little but the quality makes up for it. The lunch specials come with soup/salad and usually a spring roll or dumpling. My only disappointment was last week when I ordered lunch to go and the woman taking my other was new and VERY difficult to understand. I had to repeat my order twice. and when I picked it up she charged me the dinner price of $18 vs $12 for lunch. I asked if they had significantly increased their prices and her response was I asked for dinner, which I did not. She was not apologetic and was even a little aggressive with her response honestly.. Definitely a negative, unusual experience. I normally dine there 1-2 times a week and love the pad thai, basil chicken, sashimi and their fried terminator roll. *Spice levels are 1-10 and if the chili's are fresh a 7 will have you on fire read more

My daughter had a state speech tournament at NKU. After a long day the kids were excited to have some Thai food. Some of the kids have never had Thai food before so we were nervous. Our party of twelve walked in and the staff was wonderful! They have a Thai menu and a Japanese menu. There were plenty of vegetarian options as we had some vegetarians. The one kiddo that had never had Thai food ordered the salmon and pad Thai and she LOVED it! Next time I'm in the area I will definitely stop by again! Food 10/10 Service 10/10 read more

We live nearby and it's our go to for when we don't feel like cooking. There were weeks before the pandemic where we went multiple times. The owners have Thai and Japanese menus- the sushi is very good and more affordable than what you'll find downtown. Out of the way for you? You can run errands at Lowe's next door afterwards or head into Fort Thomas for a picnic. read more

We've ordered takeouts so far so no idea how their customer service is. The price is affordable and food is decent. Our favorites are tom yum fried rice, pad thai, curries and cashew nuts stir fry. And this is probably the first Thai restaurant I see no broccoli in their stir fry. Sounds silly haha but I was sick of Thai restaurants getting a bit like American-Chinese one. Their Panang curry is the best Panang curry we've had! My only complaint is the food can be somewhat salty and creates an uncomfortable feeling after eating. read more

Always amazing food paired with incredible service! This is the most underrated restaurant in Cincinnati.

I am a student in Northern Kentucky University, and let me tell you, the food at my college is not that good. However I found this restaurant and it is amazing. I keep on visiting here and order some miso soup, crab puff, fried rice and sushi, and everything here was amazing. The only reason I am giving this place a 4 star instead of 5 is that once they did give my shrimp fried rice with the shrimp being undercooked. However I told them and they fixed it up quickly. They even let me stay in the restaurant waiting for my bus when I missed it. Such nice atmosphere, the people are very nice. Definitely must go! read more

My wife and I eat here every couple weeks or so. Is our favorite Thai restaurant. The quality is consistently good. Highly recommend.

This is one of the absolutely best restaurants I've ever been to, and hands down the best restaurant in Fort Thomas. We often get the vegetarian options, which have all been delicious. Such a versatile menu, everyone will be able to find something that they love. read more

12/27/19: Back again..! Beef Pad Khing today. Very good, but... again, 7/10 is still plenty spicy. :0) Maybe a 5/10 next time. read more

Great sushi and pad Thai! We love this local restaurant especially for pick up and late dinners in.

I grew up in Ft Thomas and when visiting a friend I decided I wanted sushi and my friend wanted Pad Thai. I had never visited this place, but it had great reviews so we went with it. I showed up to place my order and was informed they had no sushi for the day, which was super disappointing since that's what I wanted. Luckily I eat damn near everything so I found something else. I can handle a lot of spice, and went with a 5 since I don't know how places do it when it's my first visit. It was a lot so be careful. Other than that, the food was great and this is a great asset to a relatively dry ethnic food scene in Fort Thomas. read more

Food was solidly good (not great, 3 stars) but the price was exceptionally high even in a town where Thai food is already greatly overpriced (minus 1 star) Front desk person clearly did not want to be there and made that plain with both words and body language I wont be returning read more

Love the food! Love the spice! This is a small gem in my area that I love, I've had their cashew chicken, spice levels 3, 4, 6 all delicious, the crab puffs are very good, and so if there Chicken Satay, I've not had their sushi or their ramen but I am eager to try more from here if I can keep myself from ordering the cashew chicken again! As well their portions sizes are very generous, and the leftovers fry up just as good as fresh when fried in a bit of cooking oil mixed with the leftover rice, yum! read more

THE best and authentic pad Thai you'll ever find anywhere. Been around a long time, and I keep coming back years and years later.

0 stars if I could. This is how they like to treat customers after they get an order wrong, they really mess up your food by either steaming or fully cooking sushi or pan seared tuna. They did, however, put a picture of the food cooked right in the menu. read more
