    Steamed wonton appetizer
    Shelly K.

    After a long weekend at the convention center, I needed some comfort food. We have eaten at the Tai Kitchen before and knew braving the crazy maze of construction barriers would be worth it. And oh was it worth it! The seating area is warmly decorated with nice art and comfortable seating. The staff greeted us quickly and gave us good input on the menu. Wonton soup and a side of steamed wontons hit the spot. The soup came out piping hot and oh so good. The wonton filling was nicely seasoned and the broth would hit the spot any day. My son ordered a noodle bowl that he said was delicious. He said it was just the right heat, as it didn't over take the other flavors in the dish. He also ordered a boba tea, which was not too sweet, but a good finisher to his meal. This is a hidden gem near the Riverwalk. Don't miss this wonderful locally owned restaurant for the fancy looking places in the Riverwalk. The food is better and the prices won't leave your wallet empty.

    If you love Thai food; this place will keep you stopping by every time you have a craving. It's a cute little restaurant, the employees and owners are very welcoming. It's always a pleasant visit and lunch when we eat here. Their food is always delicious and fulfilling. Definitely one of my favorites.

    Early dinner on Wednesday at 4 pm. First customers through the door when they opened. We were greeted with a very pleasant host and then our waitress was a delight. She was just so sweet and accommodating. We started with Chicken Satay. Entrees was Shrimp Pad Thai and Cashew Chicken. Very, very tasty! They are so attentive and accommodating! The host and waitress checked on us several times several times throughout the meal. Amount of food has great portions and also open to dietary requests. Couple of noteworthy items to keep in mind: watch the hours as they are closed on Tuesdays and also close from 2:30 - 4 pm. Open for lunch and then dinner hour. Also, this restaurant is located in downtown historic Branson and parking is limited. It is on a street that is very steep. We were super lucky to nab a parking spot right in front of the restaurant, but if you are mobility challenged at all, it could be a challenge. There are ramps, no stairs, but the raps are steep. Cute little restaurant that pays attention to their quality of food and customer service!

    My husband and I enjoyed this place so much! The vibe, the people, the food. We are obsessed with one of their popular coconut curry soups.

    Dirty empty dishes

    First of all, it's American Thai food. Not athentic. But even as American Thai food, at least put a correct name on the menu. I didn't read the ingredients and just ordered based on the name, the pad prik king is not string beans, just mixed vegetables。The service is average. The tom yum soup is good for American Thai food.

    My mother and I came for lunch. We were celebrating her 90th birthday. We were seated and Rainbow…read morewas our waitress. Rainbow absolutely is the sweetest person we talked with all weekend. My mom has raved about her since we left lunch. Rainbow is a wonderful person and waitress. Thank you Rainbow for making my mom's birthday special

    I actually heard about this place scrolling on tik tok looking for things to do in Branson and I'm…read moreso glad I found it! The staff are students working to pay for their college tuition so the service was great! The food was good (most ingredients on site also made by students) portions were huge, the price was decent, place was clean and much better then any touristy type restaurant near or on the strip, so much so we came here for dinner 2 nights in a row. The students are so interactive if you ask them questions and they also have the place they are from on their name tags which can be conversation starters. It does take them a little time to get through service so make sure you have a little time to wait. They serve 2 types of bread with bread service and 3 different butters alongside those. The apple butter was delicious. The first night I had the meatloaf which was very good. The second night I had their special for the night which was a stuffed chicken with spinach and cheese, vinegar potatoes and some mixed veggie side that was delicious. There is also a store area where you can buy student made items to take home with you. I wish we had a program like this near us because we would support it frequently. Definitely make reservations and give this place a try.

    2.5/5, crab rangoon: thick skin, lots of cream cheese, possibly baked?…read more 2.5/5, Thai glass noodles: decent flavor, overcooked frozen chicken breast 1.5/5, Chicken lo mein: bland noodles in soupy sauce, precooked chicken breast was tough with no browning; cabbage and carrot were limp and slightly mushy; no discernable oyster sauce; dish could have been fine even with all the precooked & frozen ingredients, but the ingredients were added in reverse order for lo mein

    To start off, this place is fair to Midland in other words, mid of quality food. If that some items…read morewere way below subpar. Let's start with the Pho. The broth was great. It tasted like it had been made by hand for hours with hard work and then it stops there. Anything else?Good, I can't find about this place. I've been to quite a few places, and I thought very long and hard about the rating and the food and atmosphere. And how I would give this place a rating, based on my experience and wanted to stay positive. However, some things are just unacceptable.And maybe unnoticeable, by others, or people who are uncultured in the food atmosphere of what they were eating. The edamama we ordered was freezer burnt. You could taste it ! Or had been frozen and thawed, or they were close to beyond being fresh any more.There's even color hues in my photos, to show some parts of it green and some fading with the salt, more on one end of the basket than tossed properly. I had asked the server as it was my first time.What was their number one seller?They couldn't tell me. I followed up by asking okay, I'm very hungry. So what is the most filling? Is there more in a bowl of ramen or more in a bowl of pho etc for portions like lo mein etc If so, which ramen has the most noodles ingredients, et cetera. Response from the employee was they're all the same size. They all have about the same amount of food, not one bowl has more than another bowl. At this education of the menu, I decided to go ahead and order the the spicy ramen option. I also got a regular ramen bowl and asked to order a spicy crab sushi roll and shrimp lo mein. After a little while, the edamame came first of course the soup showed up different types, different bowls, different broths, different amount of food. One was massive amount of food one was a small amount of food, so the portions were not the same by any means. We also got the lo mein which I thought since the menu spelled it wrong. It would be okay, but overly sweet. Overly done noodle soggy mess. My specific ramen was underdone, where I went to bite the noodle off and it still had crunch to it aside from the bean sprouts that were in there, just to give an idea that I am cultured on the food that I was trying to eat and review. I also ordered a spicy crab sushi roll it wasn't a request or question however, the sushi never came and i'm glad, because everything I experienced was horrid, and I can only imagine the worst experience based on what I did get. Overall, my bill before tip was about $86. I feel it was about $56 overpriced. For the quality that I think you could get better making at home. And I've had ramen in other areas. And it didn't taste as poor as this location. If I had given the choice, I would maybe get some pho to go However, this is a business I will choose not to support moving forward for my own personal experience as well. I waited to make my review. My stomach ended up sick and hurting and it's not sensitive.Therefore I do believe there was something off like I tasted.And i'm not willing to risk that for redos to any business. I like to say thank you for the opportunity to try your location, it was not your best service or food or quality given about 6 PM on a Friday night. I should have known better from an empty lot on a friday night.
