Garlic beef not the name but what it is
Monica P.

The restaurant is modest and Un appointed but where the aesthetics and design lack the food and service make up for it. The food was fast, piping hot (on a chilly, rainy day) and quite tasty! Wait staff was friendly and the restaurant was good. Only 3 tables of patrons but a steady stream of take out was in and out the 45-1hour we were there.

Pad kee mao (drunken noodles)

Thai Diner is such a cozy and consistent res. Best drunken noodles I've had in a long time - added bean sprouts & got mild+ spice level. Even the mild has a bit of a kick!

Yellow curry seafood stir-fry
Nina H.

I was in town and was hungry for Thai food. I got the Yellow curry seafood stir-fry. It was delicious. Perfect amounts of salty, spicy, and savory. Highly recommend this dish. It was made well and authentically IMO from a Thai person myself.

Stopping at Lawrence to spend the night after the game and Chris and I are both starving. Lol. He asked me where/what I want for dinner. Of course. I have to open Yelp for help! Browsing through, I found several restaurants that we haven't tried, so I asked if he was down for Thai food. So off to Thai Diner we went. The place was bright and very clean. For starter, we shared a Green Papaya Salad with Beef which was spicy but it was so good I didn't want to put my chopsticks down! For the entrée, we had Pad Thai Gang Dang which was equally delicious with huge shrimps and Tom Yum Soup which was perfect for a cold winter night! Needless to say, we shall return!

Hot tea

I really like this Thai restaurant, probably the best Thai restaurant in Lawrence area. I love the pad Thai Gang Dang. It's different from the pad Thai at other Thai restaurants. The secret ingredient is they add peanut sauce to the pad Thai which gives it a more rich and creamy taste. I never had anything like it before and for me this is something unique and special about this place. For me to write this review 10 months later and still remember what I had truly says something. I would highly recommend trying the pad Thai Gang Dang.

Great food! Never a disappointment and the spice levels are nice. Hot is actually hot and thai hot is insanely spicy. Really recommend the drunken noodles and basil stir fry!

I had reasonably high hopes for this restaurant given all the stars it had received. Unfortunately what little I ordered; shrimp spring rolls, was disappointing. The excess of saran wrap used for the take out order suggested that the rolls had been prepped and stored long before my order was placed. My hypothesis was strengthened as I bit into heavily cilantro'd slightly turned lettuce. The flavor was not bright, fresh and healthy tasting. Rather it was bland. Given that I only tasted one dish perhaps I simply made the wrong choice. Still after a few bites I elected to toss the rest.

"Full" portion of $16 chicken and broccoli; untouched. Pathetic!

Best thai around. They use to own Tuptim Thai in Topeka before they sold it to new owners. Great pad thai, curries, and rice dishes.

My favorite place in LFK! Great food and wonderful people. The only "problem" is picking what to order!

The customer service at pick up was nice but the crab fried rice was soggy and tasted more like fish than crab. Also, the pad Thai was dry.

Ordered veggie pad Thai, it had 3 pieces of broccoli and probably 7 cut carrots. The sauce was horrendous and needed A LOT more spice.

The service here was great from the second I walked thought the door. The team cleaned a table up…read morefor me and got me seated fast. It didn't take me long to order, I had to go with the namesake dish. It was hands down the largest pad Thai I have ever had. I ordered it hot and it was perfect! Just at the point where the heat teases you, but not enough to cover up the delicious flavor! It was really good! Great food, great service!

Stopped at Pad Thai after a long time to relive the old times and the food did not disappoint! We…read moredecided to try appetizers, soup and a few main dishes. The décor was beautiful, soothing and perfect for a Saturday night with Lofi music playing in the background. Our initial server (the short haired one)'s responses made us feel inconsistent and unwelcoming because another server came to our table after taking the appetizer order as said the previous one sent her - we went through the whole spiel about our shellfish allergy and placing order again and then we saw her serving everyone around our table - So Weird! Appetizers - We got the fried spring rolls and chicken tom kha soup to start. The rolls were very crispy filled with lots of veggies and pork served with a sweet red sauce. Tom Kha soup was delicious as well - very hearty and spicy. Main dishes- we tried the tiger cry fried rice under Ann's favorites section of the menu, basil chicken fried rice and chicken Thai green curry. The tiger-cry fried rice was my favorite. We usually see tiger cry beef served as an appetizer but having that as a main course was so much fun to explore! The beef in it was tender and flavorful. Basic chicken fried rice and Thai green curry were more of classic dishes. The basil fried rice was cooked well with enough seasoning. The curry was delicious too and went well with the rice. My only preference was for the curry to be thicker and creamier because the sauce was watery. Overall, the meal was very flavorful and satisfying. I will be back to try more!
