    This has to be some of the worst food I have ever had. Not to mention the restaurant is FILTHY. My fiancé ordered crunchy pad Thai and it was basically a deep fried giant dry ramen rectangle with a scrambled egg and beef on top. The sauce smelled like urine and tasted just as bad. I had Pad Kee Moa. It was burnt and also had a strange smell and flavor. We didn't even try to get any of it down. Just paid for our food and left.

    For awhile Typhoon wasn't as good after the old owner left. I believe there is now another set of new owners and it's just like I remember! Yellow curry is full of flavor and spice. So good, yumm!

    Basil fried rice

    Love this place. The hidden treasure appetizer is incredible. Overall I've loved or liked everything. Prices can get a little expensive if you're conspiring it to like Chinese or Mexican. Things like the peppered steak you have to understand there is like 5 small parts of meat. The rest is mostly vegetarian covering the plate. Their fried rice is incredible. It's herby and has flavor instead of Chinese fried rice that is bland and just covered in soy. Feel few people work here and the cooks / owners are not American, so if you have a problem, just deal isn't it and don't come back if you don't like it. It's hard enough arguing with people that fully understand you. Just don't come back. Chances are you won't have that rare issue that some have and you will love it. Wait times can be insane for sit down or food if going during a prime food time.

    Right on One of Pittsburg's Main Roads Lies a Good Little Thai Place. Never fear, Typhoon Thai Cuisine serves up good entrees and appetizers for when you find yourself in Southeast Kansas. It's a small joint, so be on the lookout. And thank goodness you can get your Thia-fix almost anywhere in Kansas. We started our meal with their Crab Rangoons ($5), five rangoons made with crabstick and cream cheese, wrapped in wonton skins, deep fried, and served with sweet and sour sauce. I think there are two camps divided by sweet versus non-sweet--I like both and these are on the latter. I think they may use real crab because my buddy seemed to be having some difficulty eating them, with an itchy throat, but kept on eating! They were good. I also ordered their Fresh Spring Rolls ($5), two "delicately-sized" rolls made with fresh lettuce, carrots, cabbage, and avocado, wrapped in soft rice paper, and served with a light peanut sauce with a hint of chili pepper. I love these things, they are hard to mess up and Typhoon makes them good. Typhoon's entrees come spiced on a scale of one to five. I like spice, but not to the level that it overwhelms my taste buds and I'm sweating while eating. So I went with a two and could taste the spice and was not bothered by it at all. They also came with a cup of their rice soup, which was a little bland and needed some of their smoked chili sauce--but not too much because it is hotter than Hell, holy crap. I honestly only used two drops of it and it was real spicy. I ordered the Kung Pao ($9), a choice of meats (chicken this time) sautéed with celery, bell peppers, carrots, broccoli, onions, peanuts, in a sweet chili sauce. I loved it--very flavorful and a good balance of meat to vegetable ratio and the vegetables were cook great and retained a little crisp. My buddy ordered the Pad Kee Moa (Drunken Noodles, $10), a sautéed rice noodle with a choice of vegetarian or meat, egg, chili, bamboo shoots, broccoli, bell peppers, and basil leaves. He went with the chicken and said he ALWAYS orders the same thing, so there you have it. Overall, Typhoon is a good place to grab Thai food. My only mild-complaint, really just an irk, stems from needing something to sop up the delicious sauce while eating the dish--you really need additional rice because they do not give you enough. I asked for another small bowl of rice and they charged an additional $1.50; no big deal, but white rice is cheap and I've never been to a Thai, Chinese, or similar-type of restaurant where they charged extra for rice. Anyway, don't let that stop you, just be aware, and enjoy the great food.

    Welcoming staff, nice decor, extensive menu. Mango chicken is amazing. Sweet, spicy, crisp. Great flavor profiles, wish they were in Wichita.

    We had the Kung pao chicken and the basil fried rice. Both were excellent. I would recommend it to anyone. What a great find.

    This is the best Thai food I have ever had. I downloaded this app just to review this place, it's…read morethat good. The crispy duck was perfect. 10/10 would recommend. Also the service was really good despite how busy it was. I ate the food before I could take a photo, my bad.

    My partner and I stopped here on our way from KC to Bentonville. After eating BBQ for a few days…read morestraight, my body needed something with vegetables,. Thai Time was one of the only places that wasn't fast food that was open around 9 PM. The restaurant is very small and I think most people pick up takeout from the drive-thru (Most Thai places in California are sit-down, so experiencing drive-thru Thai was very novel to me), but we dined in. We ordered a peanut-sauce chicken that came with steamed veggies and rice (Rama chicken), as well as a Singapore-style curry noodle with stir-fried celery, pepper, and carrots (Lion City noodles). They were alright--nothing really to write home about, but something that my body appreciated after days of brisket and burnt ends (lol). The chicken dish would have been extremely bland without the peanut sauce, and the curry vermicelli was on the salty side. For fast food Thai, our dinner wasn't cheap, either. I think we paid around $37-40 (including tip) for two dishes. I'm still giving this place a 4/5 because service was fast and friendly, the food was okay, and I always like to support local Asian businesses.
