I grew up in Los Angeles around its pretty robust Chinatown. I've also dined in San Francisco and New York City. I have never had anything this good. First of all, trust the reviews and get the things people have had. If you're local come back again and try other things. You won't be sorry. We had the cucumber salad (what the everlovin heck?). The sauce. I don't know what to say. It's indescribable. And it's so refreshing. You're going to want to take this sauce home and put it on everything. Next we had the chili oil sesame noodles, the tri-color soup buns, and the chili oil won tons. Everything was insanely good. We didn't think we'd finish everything but we did. You must come here.

Thankfully, that meant speedy service since we didn't order online ahead. From ordering to being out there door it was probably 10-15 minutes total. I decided to try their new Crispy Chicken Bacon Alfredo which was really good! I appreciated the sauce being on the lighter side and not overwhelming like most Alfredo sauces. It also included broccoli and spinach which compliments the dish very well! We also ordered the basic macaroni and cheese this time for something simple. It was quite a large portion with a creamier cheese sauce. Both were really good. I'd say this experience was much better than our last and will keep us coming back in the future!

Also can be nosy so not ideal if your looking for intimate vibes. It was also so busy with takeout orders as well - which I cant blame anyone for! The food tops it all! This is hands down the best thai in omaha. I have a friend that has tried many thai places here and recommended this place to me. We always go with the pad thai but definitely want to branch out next time we go. It is a little on the pricier side but thats what you get for high quality food. You also get to choose your spice level. We will continue to come back!!

When I eat here it feels like my soul leaves my body and starts ascending, that is how good it is. Service Um, ed, and Maggie are genuinely some of my favorite servers in the whole world; sometimes when I go here I'm looking forward to seeing them as much as I am the food. While sometimes it can be a bit slow, that is because the kitchen is taking their time for you, no shortcuts. Food Every time I eat here I think, "it can possibly get better than last time," but guess what, it does. Every thing I have gotten here has been AMAZING, for example the drunken noodles and the pad Thai, and don't get me started on the pho, absolutely heavenly. Ambience Khao Niao has some of the best ambience. Every time you eat here you can look around and find something new. They focus on a wood interior with beautifully crafted tables and archways. Along with some little fountains 10/10 ambiance Overall Khao niao is as good as it gets, by far my favorite restaurant!

Today, I opted for the roasted garlic cream tortellini and added grilled chicken. I had no complaints about the dish. While ordering, the staff let us know that kids eat free today, and since we happened to have a baby with us, they still honored it even though the baby can't eat yet. I thought that was very thoughtful and kind of the staff to mention. I will say that every time I come here, the cost seems to keep going up. Two entrées came to $34.

So we went, looked at the menu for a couple minutes and we ordered our food. My daughter got the Garlic Bacon Crunch Mac & Cheese and I got their new Chili Garlic Ramen. We also split their Korean Meatballs. It looks like the food is mostly made to order. My daughter loved the mac and cheese and she said that she already wants to go back and I thought it was good too. My ramen was also pretty good. Sure, you don't get a lot and it may be a tad overpriced, but what we had was good. The employees were nice as well. One lady who called my order out by mistake, and my daughter went up to get it, gave her one of their rice krispy treats for free for the 'trouble'. My daughter was pretty happy about that, lol. All in all, my daughter and I liked and we will go back and try something else soon.

We sat inside and I kept thinking to myself that there really needs to be some background music playing. We were the only customers in store. It was very quiet and a bit awkward with no music playing. We got the pad Thai with chicken and the pad see ew with pork. The pad Thai was average. Not a huge amount of flavor that I'm used to with this dish. The pad see ew was flavorful but was missing the "wok hei" flavor that I love with this dish. We also got the crab Rangoon. I loved the thin wonton wrapper they used but the inside was mainly just cream cheese and not a lot of crab flavor. I got the passion fruit tea and my boyfriend got the Thai tea. Both were very good! If I go back it would def be for their boba teas!

The service was quick, they took their time preparing the food fresh and it showed. The new canned cocktail they have, 1/2 lemonade and 1/2 tea, was PHENOMENAL!

Also, you must check out the sake bar underneath the restaurant in the evenings. Small and personal it fits right alongside Ika's vibe and includes some new cocktails.
