The King & I

It’s overall good experience. We ordered basil fried rice and tom yum soup. It was delicious. The layout of the restaurant is inviting and comfortable. The service we received was exceptionally friendly, making us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. The portions here are quite generous, which is a pleasant surprise, and the quality of the food is excellent. The flavors in every dish we tried were rich and well-balanced. The menu offers a wide variety of options, and I'm already looking forward to returning to sample more of their delicious offerings. If you're a fan of Thai cuisine, King and I is definitely a place worth visiting for a satisfying and flavorful dining experience.

Have been there twice and not gotten a single photo of anything but the dining area. I have some mild criticisms. The beverages are not listed anywhere on the menu. When I asked for diet soda, the waitstaff said they were out and didn't offer anything else sugar-free (iced tea? coffee?). Happy to see the address is fixed on the new menus, though. I had the King Veggie on my recent video and ordered it "medium spicy." There are four levels--mild, medium, spicy, and Thai spicy. So why did the medium make my lips burn, and why was it sprinkled with so much black pepper I was caught between coughing and sneezing with each bite? I enjoyed the green shrimp curry I ate on my first visit, but I only ordered it mild because I was with someone new. I usually like a reasonable amount of spice, but it seems there's no good level for me. The fried tofu was tasty, though. There are too many seats packed into the dining room. I don't want to sit along a back wall on a bench seat two feet from a stranger. There is still a pandemic going on. I also don't want to be on the other side of the table and feel I'm in the waitstaff's way every time they pass. They're also quite rude about their 2:30 closing time, though they don't put any signage about it on their windows or menu. They just close for 2.5 hours in the middle of the afternoon and in-store customers and those ordering delivery are just supposed to know. All in all, I'm not likely to return for these prices.

My recent visit to King and I Thai restaurant's new location in Richmond Heights was a delightful experience. The layout of the restaurant is inviting and comfortable. The service we received was exceptionally friendly, making us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. The portions here are quite generous, which is a pleasant surprise, and the quality of the food is excellent. The flavors in every dish we tried were rich and well-balanced. I must say, the 3 way King specialty dish and the noodles with the special house sauce were absolute standouts and left our taste buds wanting more. The menu offers a wide variety of options, and I'm already looking forward to returning to sample more of their delicious offerings. If you're a fan of Thai cuisine, King and I is definitely a place worth visiting for a satisfying and flavorful dining experience.
