Koong Thong Thai Restaurant

The best restaurant in Auburn hands down. They've been around since I was a kid. The building use to be a Taco Time branch but went out of business. Gladly, they got hold of this place and made it what it is. Amazing food, good price, and a full stomach. I appreciate Koong Thong for being here all these years. Good people run this place and the efforts they put into their business reflects that. The pad Thai and yellow curry are my two favorites.

Way too spicy at a 3. Couldn’t even enjoy the food. Order panang curry and only chicken was in it- usually you get peppers or shoots or other veggies. That was disappointing. Pad Thai was greasy and way too spice for a 3. Asked for extra peanuts and it was like they put the whole jar of peanuts on it and no lime. Lime makes the flavors come out. Disappointed with the lack of detail on those things and the spice profile being so strong and I usually do well with 3 out of 5. I won’t be back for my Thai fix.

Woah watch out. You get a mountain of food from this place. Enough for 2 big servings or 4 people if you share appetizers. Great taste and flavor. You get a good amount of meat with the noodles and big pieces, not thin. Ordered a mild and it’s a little dance in your mouth if you have a low spice tolerance. I was fine with it but it was more than I expected. Order 0 no spice if you can’t handle spiciness that well. Hope to try the rest of the menu.

This was our favorite Thai food restaurant in the entire area until last Saturday, my Wife's Birthday. We've been going here or ordering out for year's; since the Health Department rating was 'Excellent'. This place is rated 'ok' as of this review and now we know why. The food tasted like it was cooked yesterday or perhaps even pulled from the dishwasher filter and tossed in sauce. This was my Wife's 51st Birthday and a great excuse to have her two Son's over for the first time in a while because of the Virus. The man that took the order over the phone repeatedly asked her Son, whom was paying for the entire families dinner, why he was ordering so much food. My Wife's Son had to keep repeating that it was his Mother's Birthday. Upon reflection, we should have just ordered a pizza. While this place did not ruin my Wife's Birthday, it certainty left a foul taste in our mouths, both figuratively and litteraly. Goodbye, Koong Thong.
