    Thai food
    Linda H.

    $13.66 for 4"x8" plate of chicken and vegetables. 3 small egg rolls for $5.67. Didn't know it came with white rice. So only half of 4x8" plate had chicken vegetables. Will not be back. Picture of food sitting next to butter dish.

    One of the best Thai restaurant I ever tried. Noddles are well season, not watery like many other places. Not too salty or load with msg. Very impressed that this place exist in a little college town. Try their dessert too, I don't know if they are real authentic dessert but it is good. I had the sweet rice custard, it is like egg custard on top of warm sticky rice The only complain I have is that it is tough to find this place at night, I keep missing the sign and it was not on

    We wanted to eat well for lunch and literally hunted down this place in our visit to Kentucky and boy we were treated to a feast. This place will not impress you from its exterior looks. Keep in mind, Don't judge a book by its cover. The time we got into this place, there wasn't much of a crowd and that was good in a way as we were being checked and also served on time. There was this one girl who was going around like a whirlwind, taking orders, serving and also checking out the guests who had come for takeouts. The menu is pretty vast and spoils you with choice. We ordered dumplings, sriracha fried rice, red curry, ice tea and sweet rice with custard for a dessert. The taste was exemplary as much as the service of the staff. The main menu portion was sizable for three of us and the dessert was outstanding. As we were walking out of the restaurant, there was a handful of people waiting for their takeout, served by the same whirlwind girl!

    Basil fried rice and spring roll

    Great to see a decent thai place in bowling green. Was driving through the town and found this gem separated from the rush and hustle of the town. The entrance can confuse you, use the one that doesnt face the road. Although i didnt dine in the place seemed neat and quiet. Well maintained for a small town! I have tried the basil fried rice which was quiet good and the spring roll was delicious! The prices aren't bad at all. If you are craving some thai food while in town, check out this place!

    Completely overpriced for the quality of food. Quality of food was mediocre. The dumplings were not good, the curry has no curry sauce. The drunken noodles we okay and for that they get two stars. The Thai iced tea was really good as well. But the entire meal was not worth the $60 with tip that was paid for one appetizer, two drinks, and three entrees. Not for the quality it came in. Would not recommend.

    Red Curry with Chicken

    I love Thai Express, but I don't understand why they don't line the their to-go containers for curry, with tin foil? By the time I get home to eat, I feel like it's been sopped up and the bottom of the container is softened. One wrong poke and whoops, there goes the curry!

    Sure. I'll review you!

    Best Thai tea i ever tasted. The vive was grat and my curry was spot on with the spice.read more

    We've been Thai Thai fans since the beginning. And remain fans after the transfer of ownership…read more The "new" owners are still very invested and responsive and involved. They care about the food and the patrons. This time, we got takeout. We tend to alternate between Thai Thai and Thai Express (both are wonderful and authentic, with great flavors and spice). We got some of our favorites: drunken noodles (pad see Mao), packed with egg noodles, zucchini, broccoli, onions, bell peppers, carrots, mushrooms, and basil. They really do shove this dish full of spice and fresh veggies. I got the level 4, which is a level below "Thai hot." Honestly, I will say they probably serve things hotter and more accurately in the restaurant. I didn't think my takeout was a level 4 . . . certainly nowhere near the next level of Thai hot . . . I suspect this is because they expect palm colored people to shy away from spice, and if not in person, they can't confirm what they REALLY mean when they say "spicy" or "hot." We also got the pineapple fried rice and the lo mein. Honestly, a lot of our dishes overlapped, but we were fine with that because we knew this food would be high quality and would carry over into lunch the next day. Thai Thai offers authentic takes on all of the above as well as pad see ew, lard na, pad wooden, various soups. They offer the whole range of noodles, from thick and beefy egg noodles to stir-fried glass noodles. Fried rice with pineapple, sriracha, crab, sardines. In addition to noodles of all textures and sizes, they also offer a multitude of flavors: ginger, veggies, brown sauce, basil eggplant, sweet and sour, garlic, cashew, peanut, pepper, sesame . . . or even "three tase," or their special three flavor sauce. Tons of curry . . . red, green massaman, panang. Meaty dishes like basil steak, BBQ pork ribs, roasted duck, lamb . . . seafood like scallops, lobster, salmon, pompano. This is a Western Kentucky mainstay. We must protect Thai Thai and Thai Express at all costs!

    This restaurant was recommended to us several weeks ago and we decided to try it since we found…read morethat our destination restaurant was closed. We will be returning to K & L Asian Restaurant! The server, whose name was Kam, was most gracious, and did his best to make sure we made knowledgeable choices about what we ordered, and he was attentive after we had our order. My partner had the chicken noodle soup, and it had such a fabulous broth and was full of noodles and shredded chicken. I had to have several spoonfuls of it myself. I chose the vermicelli with beef and an eggroll. Each table was equipped with soy sauce, sriracha, chili pepper oil, and Hoisin sauce. The overall lighting, ambiance, and cultural appeal of the restaurant is pleasant. I noticed that we had quality (not wooden) chopsticks instead of American utensils, but I'm sure they have forks for the picky or clumsy folks. I cannot eat Asian food without using chopsticks; it just isn't the same. His soup featured one of those lovely china/porcelain spoons with a glorious absence of metal. Possibly the only thing about this entire meal I could offer suggestion for improvement is the tiny scrumptious eggroll could have been larger. However, the servings overall were generous and reasonably priced. I even have a small to-go box of noodles for tomorrow. Additionally, I got to try my very first BOBA tea! I am not sure why they call it tea because it's more like a slushy with those little Boba balls and a wide straw. There are 15 different flavors offered, including avocado (which I was not brave enough to try). I had banana, and it was very good. I thought it mildly pricey at $4.50 but novelty drinks usually have novelty prices. I really wish we had visited this restaurant before, but as I said, we will be returning. I was concerned because there were only a couple other tables during our entire visit, although it was toward closing time on a Tuesday evening. I encourage everyone to try this restaurant!

    One of the best restaurants I've ever had in my life. I had it two days ago. I had it yesterday and…read moreI'm about to have it again today. This is again one of the best food I've ever had in my life. I lived in Tennessee and I never miss stopping by when I visit Bowling Green, Kentucky. It is my home and I will never choose any other hibachi place other than this one. I recommend you go because if you don't, you were going to regret it. Also, they have the best Yum Yum sauce. My girlfriend actually left me because I was here so much.

    This was our first time at this restaurant. When we walked in the girl behind the counter, said…read more Would you like hibachi or bistro? I didn't know what she meant so I said I want sit over here by the bar. I didn't want to sit where they cook right in front of you and throw food at you. Anyway, we sat down and a waitress immediately came to our table to take a drink order. I asked if they had sweet and low and she affirmed yes so I got an unsweetened iced tea with lemon. My husband got a Sprite and my daughter got a Coke zero. She came back a bit later with our drinks and informed me that they did not have any sweet low in the whole restaurant and there was no lemon in my iced tea or with my iced tea. We weren't sure what we liked and the girl said the hibachi plates are really really good with the Yum Yum sauce. It's delicious. So my husband and I did the two for $50 and we got the hibachi steak and chicken which came with rice cooked vegetables, and noodle . My daughter got shrimp and scallops with asparagus on the side. My husband and my dinner came with soup and salad, and my daughters came with a huge salad. The waitress came back with my lemon for my drink and brought over our salads and soup. She then brought out my daughter salad. I had barely finished my soup and just started eating my salad when our entrées came out. I believe they came out way too fast, which is why there's a three star rating because I don't like dinners like that. You should let people have a chance to eat their soup and salad and then bring the food out. My husband never even touched his salad. In my opinion, the plates had too much food on them. They tasted OK. I don't think I would go back there for that kind of food. As you look at the pictures, you'll see what I mean. I sort of wish I would've got the bento box. My daughter's food looked way better. I wish I would've got that. The Yum Yum sauce? It was all right. At the end of the meal, my daughter asked us if she could have a piece of cheesecake and we said yes to go because we wanted to go home and the lady brought it out wrapped and when you see the picture of it that's slight sliver of cheesecake cost $10.. Our entire bill came to $134.05 . This isn't the kind of place. I don't think I would frequent. In other words, I wasn't impressed by the food, the service, or the ambience. Maybe a nice place to go have a drink as it was really dead and quiet by the bar.
