We stop here whenever we're passing through town. The food has always been fairly good, but recently every time we stop by, they're out of multiple things on the menu that we try to order. They also frequently seem to be understaffed. The last two times we've dined in, which have been months apart, their credit card machine hasn't been working. You can only pay by cash, Zelle, or Venmo. Very inconvenient. For those reasons we have decided to not eat here anymore. read more

It's a small town restaurant and the food here was very nice. But there were very limited vegetarian options. Definitely recommend a quick-stop at Childress read more

This is what happens when small town white people try to Thai. The fried rice had zero seasoning, frozen broccoli, no peas, no carrots, basically white rice with little pieces of shredded beef and frozen broccoli. I suspect the only reason they are open is because Dawson's stays full. Clean and nice people though just don't expect Thai food. We order a second plate spicy and they put jalapeño in it, you know the authentic Thai jalapeños? It was just food. read more

Very friendly staff and the food was delicious. I ordered the Panang Curry with chicken and it was so good! I will visit again.

A pleasant surprise on HWY 287. We have driven the route, on our way to Colorado, hundreds of times. Never partaking in the local cuisine. ( other than "fast-food"). Wanting something different, we (family) tried Thai Kitchen. From soups to rolls, ending with Pad Thai and Pangang, a delicious respite. Wait staff was attentive, and food was brought out looking good and savory. Ambiance was a bit dated, but clean. read more

Always love stopping here when I'm coming through. They always serve fresh and tasty items!

Been passing this place and finally stopped while driving through town. The food was excellent - not too spicy but I suspect I could have asked for more heat if I wanted it. The service was efficient and the server quite pleasant. A simple atmosphere with authentic Thai tchotchke (let the fact checkers figure that one out). We plan to stop again next time going through town. Highly recommended. read more

If I could give this place 0 stars I would. I ordered a veggie chow mein. No veggies at all and it smelled fishy. My spouse ordered the veggie delight and about 97% of the veggies were cabbage. Even the steamed rice was not right and had specs of fried rice mixed in. We hate throwing away food but had to because of worry about food borne illness. As a public health professional, with a spouse as a retired chef, proceed with caution if you want to go here for an overly expensive meal that's not worth it. read more

We stop by this town for late lunch. My daughter found thai food. We ordered and come out so good and delicious! Service person was amazing kind and great job!! So happy to stop by here!! read more

My Sweet n Sour Chicken and Fried Rice was horrible. Cooked numerous times. Egg Rolls were pure grease.

New owners. Very nice people. Food not near as good as previous owner. Not as tasty, obviously rushed preparation. Higher prices to move. Not a very winning combination. read more

Thai Kitchen is right off the highway in a nondescript building right near a motel. Inside is plane jane but the food is great and reasonably priced for a small town Thai restaurant. Egg rolls and crab Rangoon are good. All kinds of combinations are great but I recommend the Thai steak. I've never been there and had to wait. Takeout is also available. Service is always excellent. read more

This is the best place ever. Me and my family will come here a lot because it's so good. Nothing will ever replace Thai Kitchen. It's so good!! Even my little brother who doesn't like anything loves this place!! The best things on the menu are: Sweet and Sour Chicken Spring Rolls Chicken Chowmein Etc. Mostly everything there is delicious. read more

Food was tasty and plentiful. We got there just before closing and all the forks were in the washer already. We had to eat with a Spork (like in grade school) read more

I have eaten a lot of tied food all over the country, from extremely "authentic" Thai food, two extremely bland overly Americanized Thai food in small-town Thai restaurants. This was a very pleasant surprise, for a city that I'm assuming does not have a very big Thai population. The food was really good, inexpensive, and I loved the frozen Matcha. read more

Driving by Childress we came upon this Thai restaurant looking for vegan food options. We had the lemongrass soup and requested it with tofu rather than meat and the staff kindly accommodated us. We also had the vegetable fried rice dish and the tofu delight dish. The fried rice options were not vegan as they contained egg but were vegetarian. If you want steamed (vegan) rice with your order make sure to ask for it specifically. The food was tasty and the staff was friendly. read more

Cashew chicken is horrible. Phad Ci was ok. Don't be fooled by menu on yelp. The actual menu is very limited. When waitress asked us how we liked food and we told her cashew chicken was bad her reply was no one likes it. Why the heck didn't you say that when we ordered. Shrimp roles were equally as Bad. Avoid this place. Stick with what TX does best...BBQ steaks and Mexican read more

Pho is worst and also egg drops soup smells a lot of gas ! Also they are charge you on Credit card fee top on your bill! read more

For a small town place, Thai kitchen was decent. Friendly staff, seating to enjoy a meal, and visible next to the main hwy. I was traveling through for a business trip and needed something to eat to meet my vegan needs and this was a much better option than your typical gas store food. I would stop again on my road trips. I had their Phat Thai, Again it wasn't bad for being a small town. It wasn't as flavorful as our usual Thai places but again it's almost in the middle of no where. It was $8.50 for a decent amount of food that did taste fresh. Great place to stop on your travels read more

Only four stars due to slower service but they were busy on a Friday night. We stopped in from road trip and the food was fresh and the Tom soup outstanding. Very tasty. read more

It's a simple place that might not attract you from the outaide but the food is delicious, fresh and tasty! Thisnis going to be our stop place from NM back to Texas every time! We ordered chicken veggie yellow curry, vegetable fried rice, veggie pad thai... everything was delicious!! read more

We spent a week in Childress. Of the many restaurants in town, this one turned out to be the most similar (in quality) to Orange County. I ate with family and we did it "family style" so I was able to sample a few plates. It was very tasty. I would definitely eat here again. I did subtract one star because they take only cash - I do not carry very much cash so credit card would be helpful. read more

Thai Kitchen is a nice place for a quick and inexpensive meal. It is refreshing to eat something other than a steak and potatoes. I love their spicy beef which is actually not so mild. I ask them to make it spicier. My husband is addicted to their cashew chicken. He eats it at least once a week! We recently ordered a variety of dishes there for a family meal. Everything was delicious. They don't have my favorite garlic chicken (that belongs to Thai Sky in Long Beach, Ca) but they are still worthy of 4 stars. For the many restaurant-goers in the raging metropolis of Childress, TX, this is a place you have to try out! read more

Legitimate Thai food in Childress! Pa Nang is amazing!! Pad See Ew (Ci-U by their spelling) was spot on. Pad Thai was good but needed some sauce from the table. Though waitress may have assumed no spice for our son. Thai in Childress... Proof dreams can come true. read more

I did not like this place and would not go back. I came here for dinner while staying in town for a couple of nights and was tired of the regular steak/burger menus most places had. The only good thing I can say about this place is that my server was nice and attentive. The menu consists of typical Thai food and the selection looked decent. I started by attempting to order a bowl of egg drop soup and an order of summer rolls (aka spring rolls). Unfortunately, my server informed me that the woman who makes the spring rolls was off tonight, therefore they weren't available. Not a huge deal, but definitely disappointing. Since this was the case, I settled for a cup of egg drop soup and chicken pad thai. The food took a very long time to arrive, almost 30 minutes, which was completely unacceptable, mostly since the restaurant wasn't even half full. The soup came out first and was a generous portion, however it was completely bland. Soon after the pad thai came out and it also did not have a good flavor. I was able to spice up the soup with salt and soy sauce, however the same remedy did not work on the pad thai. In addition, I attempted to add sweet chili sauce to my dish to even more flavor, but the opening was completely caked over (GROSS!). Sadly, I wasn't even able to eat half of my food. Like I said, this place was extremely disappointing and I would not go back. read more

Very good Spicy Chicken Panang Excellent service Recommend anyone going through town to stop and enjoy read more

We've eaten here before. But, this time they turned us away. Showed up for a to-go order a little before closing time. They said no thanks. We're still open but it's too close to 830. So. Wont ever go back there again. I'm sure there's another place that can use the money. read more

For in the Middle of No Where, Childress Texas. This was some pretty dang good Thai food. Or I guess whats called Thai food here in the states. I always picked up to go..... Kinda a guilty pleasure for me. I should have tried other meals while I was there, but I always stuck to the Pad Thai...Consistent and always delicious. read more

This is a good place to eat. Frendly service. Good location and clean. Reasonable prices.

When we come to visit family, we usually get Thai Kitchen at least once. So far every time we have gotten what we asked for and it has been good. We have a ton of Thai places back home and this is just as good as most of those. read more

I love thai food .. This is not thai food .. No flavoring no pho no drunkin noodles .. More a super crappy Chinese food that serves cat. They really missed the mark at a thai place.. And a Chinese place will never eat there again.. Its a shame i love both types of food read more

WOW! YUMMY! Couldn't get any better than this! We were so impressed and loved everything we had! I had the Hawaiian fried rice, my husband and daughters had sweet and sour chicken, and my son had the kids chicken with broccoli. We also had the wonton soup, Thai egg rolls, and crab Rangoon. All of it was made fresh and came out hot! Service was awesome too! Very friendly and caring staff! Too bad we don't come through Amarillo area very often or we'd be there all the time read more

Wasn't very impressed with the flavor either time I went. Everything kinda tastes the same and has a lot of extra oil and sugar it seems

I had the Pad Kee Mao and wish I had gone to McDonald's instead. Considering I haven't eaten at McDonald's in about 15 years, that's saying a lot. Sure, it was cheap, but I'm not looking just for something to put in my stomach to fill it up. My husbands Pad Thai was slightly better, but it might have been because he had to douse it with chili sauce to give it some more flavor. I think a cardboard box would have been more flavorful. Yes, this place is in Childress, but I would hope that as the owner of said place, they would take more pride in their offerings. read more

We drove all day & spent the night in Childress. Based on the reviews here,, we decided to give the place a shot. We went in pretty near closing time & placed a to-go order. We were hoping to get at least 1 salad, because every Thai/Lao restaurant I've ever been to offers a variety of salads. Strike one: no salad onn the menu. We ordered hot & sour soup, but they were sold out...strike two. Our order was pretty simple: 1) shrimp rolls, which were actuallly not bad. 2) wonton soup. The wontons were passable, but the broth was simply salty water with lots of white pepper. No hint of chicken & nary a vegetable to be found. Ate the wontons & dumped the soup. 3) cashew chicken: soggy cashews, dried-out chicken, a few pieces of green onion, & no flavor other than salty brownish sauce. 4) steamed rice. How can they mess this up, you might ask? Well, they cooked the rice in soy sauce & it was inedible, If I wanted to eat something that tasted like I was drinking soy sauce from a bottle, I woiuld have done it. 5) When we asked for plastic utensils & plates,, they gave us the utensils, but grudgingly searched tto find plates. We werre staying in a motel & didn't travel with our own plates. Glad we opted for take-out, because the place could definitely used a face lift. So....ate the shrimp rolls & the wontons, & a few bites of the chicken. The rest went into the trash. I know we were in a small town in Texas, not San Francisco or NY, & didn't have high expectations, but didn't think it would be quite THIS bad. read more

Foodserver was amazing! Restaurant was dirty. Why, there was only a few tables filled. Chicken fried rice was bland; almost as if it was white rice with some chicken. Tom ka soup was fabulous (although the chicken was tough). Beef with broccoli was great. If they cleaned up and added some spice to the chicken fried rice and changed up the recipe, I would go back. Again, the foodserver from Newman Smith was AMAZING! read more

Stayed in Childress on our way back home and found this place through yelp. The pad Thai dish was good. Also ordered a beef dish that was good but not as tasty as the pad Thai. Seems pretty run down from the outside. read more

Little hole in the wall place but wow! I got the Chicken Pa- Ka-boom or something, it was spicy but not overpowering, the curry wasn't too strong, just enough all around for an awesome flavor. We'll be back! read more

Passing thru here, and stopped by for a quick meal. Considering its location, can't really hold them to a same standard as in CA or NY. Shrimp Pad Thai was ok, Beef Pad See Yew was not ("it's bad" according to my 4 yr old). The place looks like a dump from outside, and inside is as bad (all the booths had ripped seats). Price was about what it should be (around $7 for noodle dishes), however, credit card machine was not working. read more

This is by far my favorite place to eat in Childress! I'm a sucker for Thai food and always get the combination fried rice; chicken, beef, and shrimp. I do usually ask for extra meat because they aren't too generous on the portions. However, it comes with tons of rice and is always both filling and delicious. The only reason I'm giving this restaurant four stars instead of five is because the servers aren't very good most of the time. read more
