Thai Place opened up shop in 1991 transforming the Thai restaurant landscape in Kansas City. The chef's obsessive attention to detail and devotion to fresh ingredients has been the backbone to the consistency of the restaurant's cuisine. The near-legendary Phad Thai is a signature item and all items on the menu balance the notes of salt, sweetness, sourness and chile heat to perfection. If you like your Thai cuisine on the hot side, the chefs will crank up the spice upon request!
Amazing service, staff is really on top of everything. I had the Seafood Hurricane and it was spectacular. The cream cheese summer rolls are a must. Definitely get Mild if you're not into spicy food cause even the Medium spice level was pretty spicy. Overall great experience, will definitely be coming back.
The pad thai here is fabulous!!! I removed one star because the "medium" spice is flaming hot. I get medium spice almost everywhere I go for Asian food, and it's never this hot. My lips and mouth were on fire. The mild is a bit milder than I like, but it's better than having my lips melt off. Overall, I still love Thai Place and their portion sizes are huge (easily two meals).
This is definitely one of the best Thai restaurants I’ve been to as of late . The food is very delicious, reasonable, and has just the right amount of spice depending on your spice level. I really love how filling the food was, you can even take some home if you can’t finish it, but I devoured it the moment I saw the plate. Highly recommended, I definitely plan to return!
The best in the world

My boyfriend and I love coming here when we’re craving Thai food! The food is delicious, the atmosphere is comfortable, and the service is quick, attentive, and kind. It’s our favorite Thai restaurant.
I would come here daily for the Thai Basil Wings alone. It's without a doubt one of the best Thai restaurants in the area, if not THE best.
It’s a Thai Place.
But a damn good one.
Thai Place has consistently been the best prepared food with kind staff making the food quickly. The value and taste are exceptional!
I don't remember a life without Thai Place.
Food is really good
Fried rice and dumplings are a must try
One of the best places to get Thai in the city highly recommend!
Great food, service and portions.
Great Thai food!
The best Tiger Cry beef!!!!
The food was delicious and the service was impeccable. We look forward to our next visit
Consistently high quality food. They have a great lunch special, with discounted prices, and your meal comes with soup or salad and two crab rangoons. I went to lunch and asked if I could substitute my soup/salad option with more crab rangoons and they obliged, that is the kind of service you can expect. They will give you the spice level you ask for, so if it's your first time go with a more mild level of spice, they are happy to add more spice for you if you don't find it spicy enough. My favorites: beef pad thai with a spice level between medium +, and hot. Their Volcano soup is the best Tom Yum I've ever had, and I enjoy thai hot spice level with that dish. The soup is big enough for a meal, and I usually crave it so much I get takeout Volcano soup about once a week. You've been warned!
The food is delicious and the service is excellent. If you order it "Thai hot plus", you'll get what you asked for.
Had Tiger Cry Beef with extra Peanut Sauce and Moo Pad Phet w/ pork, both taste super good... We love it
First time I tried it I love you so I will be back
Wonderful food. Been there several times love it.
This is a hidden gem. The menu is unique but still has thai food favorites. Service is good and quick. Everything we ordered was delicious.
Absolutely love love love love love love this place. The services fast and amazing, but the food is even more. Be sure to go and check this place out when you get a chance you won't be disappointed
Beyond delicious!
Everything we ordered was AMAZING, the Tiger Cry Beef, Thai Noodle Soup, Curry, Peppered Steak, the spice level did NOT disappoint either, I love all things spicy and ooohh it was so yummy. The serving sizing were far bigger than I anticipated whichade it even more worth the price and gave my some yummy left overs for the next day.
We will definitely be returning.
Always great service with a smile and the best Thai in all of K.C.
We stopped in for lunch. They have a great lunch special that's not really advertised. They offer a main entree with either soup or salad and 2 crab rangoon. The service is always great here - very friendly and prompt. The food is always really good, and you can specify the level of heat in your dish. We got the panang curry and the massaman curry. Both were delicious!
Best Thai in KC!
Everything was amazing and waiters were super attentive!
Went for lunch and it was really good. Service was nice and quick. Def will come back for lunch again!
Clean place, great service, AMAZING FOOD! Good spice levels, large portions, amazing flavor. Not what I expected from a strip mall.
What's my first time there this Thursday, for my cousin's birthday food was delicious chicken curry fried rice. ❤️
Have not been in a while, delicious is always. Service was excellent as always. Would highly recommend.
Food is good, but pricey for fried rice costs $18. And just found out that for a large party of 5 or more, they automatically add 18% tip. It wasn't communicated clearly to the customer.
Awesome casual spot for authentic Thai food. Would 100% go again next time I’m in town.
Amazing service, staff is really on top of everything. I had the Seafood Hurricane and it was spectacular. The cream cheese summer rolls are a must. Definitely get Mild if you're not into spicy food cause even the Medium spice level was pretty spicy. Overall great experience, will definitely be coming back.
Worst Thai food we've had in our lives. And we love Thai food and eat it every week. Just moved here from California. Have lived in 6 states and always loved thai food but this one was hands down the worst. Veg Thai fried rice, chicken Thai fried rice, pad Kee Mao. Inedibly bad.
I used like this place but this last weekend we just had a terrible experience with service. We was charged a group fee of 22$ for having a party of five and more, I could see if it was all adults but it was just 4 of us and our 1yr, I just thought it was a crappy way of getting more money. Food was decent but the sticky rice we ordered was old and nuked in the microwave.
It is great service! Best Thai place in the area. The Thai basil wings are amazing!
you can get pad Thai anywhere, but not like this. One of the best in town, would highly recommend.
It was my first time to eat Thai food. I wasn't in love with what I tried, but I would go again to try something else.
This is definitely one of the best Thai restaurants I’ve been to as of late . The food is very delicious, reasonable, and has just the right amount of spice depending on your spice level. I really love how filling the food was, you can even take some home if you can’t finish it, but I devoured it the moment I saw the plate. Highly recommended, I definitely plan to return!
First time trying it— ordered the crispy pork ribs and the garlic beef stir fry to go. Flavors were outstanding!! Spice level was perfect (make sure you understand Thai spice levels), the ribs were super crispy and delicious with the Sriracha sauce. The garlic beef looks/tastes like sliced ribeye with a hefty amount of garlic and spice. 10/10!!
The Mother in Law beef is my go to. I've never had a bad meal here. It's all good! It's a pretty small restaurant, but that makes for a cozy date spot.
Good food great service
Decided to come here based on 1.5k reviews. It wasn't worth the price.
I had a pad see ew ,it was too salty.
Excellent food and service! We have friends from different parts of the city who drive to here to eat.
I had never been to Thai Place off Santa Fe Drive before, and my friend treated me to lunch there on Sunday. It was marvelous!
I had the vegetable Pad Thai, and was really impressed with how FRESH all the vegetables were! They were obviously recently purchased (maybe even that morning), and stir-fried so they retained their crispness. There was a great variety, too: broccoli, onions, bok choy, spinach, and I'm sure a few others that I'm forgetting. The melding of flavors in the sauce was perfect, and the noodles were just al dente enough to keep their firmness alongside the vegetables. The portion size was just right, and at a very reasonable price.
The staff were all WONDERFUL! Everyone was very friendly, efficient, and worked to ensure that we were enjoying our meal. One of the servers even gave me a full glass of iced tea to go, when I left! I was especially touched by the care our main server gave us. I'm ashamed to say I forgot to ask her name, but she was the only one wearing a white shirt (everyone else was dressed in black), so she may have been the manager or owner. I recently injured my foot and was using a rolling walker and post-op boot, and she was very solicitous of my well-being. She ensured I was comfortable with the seating, and we chatted a bit about how I'd injured it (walking too fast on a wet surface), and she chuckled and said, "We have to slow down, sometimes!" She made me smile, and made my day. Thank you!
I will definitely be back to Thai Place, and I'll recommend it to my friends as well. Thank you for a great dining experience!
The absolute best!!! This Thai food is in a league of its own. The atmosphere, service, staff, and the kindness you receive is second to none, and the portion size is applauded by everyone at the table. Amazing people doing amazing things at Thai Place. I cannot thank them enough. 🤝
It was okay.
I am always on the hunt for spicy food and this restaurant did not disappoint! And they even bring you a platter of 4 more sauces if you ask for extra hot sauce. And the portions are huge. Fast and friendly staff. Very clean. Definitely recommend.
Excellent food and service! The panang curry was the best I've had! I would also recommend the green papaya salad.
The Thai place is a local gem! I've dined here regularly for many years. I can't recall a bad dish or bad service. It's my favorite Thai food in the KC metro.
Excellent!
This Thai restaurant stands out as one of the best in Kansas for its exceptional food. The dishes are truly amazing, especially the volcano soup with fire pot, the pan-fried chicken dumplings, and the garlic chicken fried rice. Although the atmosphere earned a modest 3-star rating due to initially untidy utensils, the staff promptly exchanged them, ensuring a pleasant dining experience overall.
Great food and great service! You’re greeted as soon as you walk in the door. The menu has many tasty options. The grapow is delicious, as is the pineapple rice. But the curry’s are fire! The red curry is my go to, but they all hit the spot. Go check them out.
Love the food!
We ordered
Satay chicken, Green curry, thai basil friedrice
Their mango sticky rice is a must try!
This used to be my favorite spot for thai food. I ordered the chicken pad thai last night and was blown away by the drop on quality. My noodles were dry and overcooked, and there was little to no flavor in the sauce. It tasted like eating flavorless noodles with spice. I just cant order here again after that
Came here for lunch
We ordered
Cry Tiger beef
Pad Thai
Tom yum soup seafood
Pad see ew
Thai fried rice
Cry tiger- marinated grill beef with sour dipping sauce. Nothing too special about this. I excepted something more than just grill beef steak strip
Pad Thai shrimp- good dish. Not too sweet. What a Pad thai should be. Abundant of shrimp in this fish. Some of the noodles was a bit hard.
Tom yum soup- this is authentic Tom yum soup. Hit home with this one. Nice broth and seafood portion.
Pad see ew- nice dish and good portion. I like it. Not too dark or overpowering
Thai fried rice- standard dish. Good rice rice
It's good Thai food, not great. I would highly recommend the crab Rangoon but they screwed up the heat level on every dish we received. My friend ordered mild and it was too spicy to eat. I ordered hot and it was barely spicy at all. Food and flavor good, but not what anyone expected. There are much better Thai places in KC.
Place is a staple for me and my wife. Food is really good and definitely deserves a try if you go. Adding some spice really makes a huge difference in flavor. However, their heat levels can be pretty spicy so I would try mild if you don't usually eat spicy food.
Excellant food and service... had the shrimp phad thai - medium heat... appetizers or egg rolls and crab ragoon
Great food and service!
Spring roll deluxe a must. King and Ann chicken works for everybody. Phad kee mow is definitely my go to
The crab Rangoon and egg rolls are amazing at this place. The dumplings have to thick of an outside and are rubbery. The Thai tea used to be delicious every time but this time it was less sweet just tasted like tea. We usually order to go as of late but decided to go in. The glasses had lipstick and silverware was dirty and the plates felt grimy. Hopefully it was just an off day and the dishwasher improves. We love this place so sucks to feel like the quality is going down so much on food and cleanliness.
La mejor comida de Thailandia en KC !. La comida no solo es fresca, el servicio es inmediato y tienen precios accesibles… lo mejor para mi es Pad Thai , como aperitivo recomiendo Tiger cry Beef.
Food is always excellent and the portions are generous
Best Thai food
Always a great meal here. Service is great and food is terrific.
Best Thai food I have ever tried. Medium hot 🔥 is perfect for me.
Gas
This is the best Thai restaurant in all of Kansas City! My favorite entrees are the yellow curry with shrimp and Pad Thai. The service is very good and the servers are very sweet. One of them gave me a gift! A small candle for mothers day! She came and placed in next to me on the table and smiled so sweetly! It's a great place and always has alot of customers.
Delicious!!!!!! We ordered a spicy ginger and Pad Thai for lunch. The pad Thai was good but too sweet and not much chicken; however, it was still very good. The spicy ginger was out of this world! Sooo good! We also tried the soft and crispy spring rolls. Very fresh and flavorful! The service was great too! They were very welcoming and available any time we needed anything. We will definitely come back!
BEST TAI on both sides of the State Line.
Best Thai food in the Kansas City metro area. Best Thai food I've ever personally had, and that includes fancy Thai places in Chicago.
Food is always consistently excellent. Good prices too.
This is our favorite Thai restaurant period. We keep trying others and nobody so far comes close. The phad thai is always my husband's favorite. This time I had the phad thai gaeng daeng which is like a red curry version. We've also had the tamarind stir fry dish, several currys, mushroom stir fry, and gra pow. The only part I would caution first timers on is that they are serious about their spice scale. Use caution going over medium until you try them, I would say their medium is like others hot.
I've been coming here 2006 and honestly this place just keeps getting better. Love their food!
Food is great. Recommend tiger cry beef and pad thai
Best Pad Thai I've had in a long time!!!!
Been going here for the better part of a decade and it's never disappointed. Saddle me with a phad thai feedbag please
I tried to get food togo tonight. It says it closes at 8 with togo orders ending at 8:30. I tried to call in an order at 7:45. No answer. Kept calling my entire way there. When I pulled into the parking lot at 7:58 the light were off, but I could see people walking around inside. You either have open and closing times or you don’t. I tried calling with plenty of time to pick my food up by 8. There were workers there cuz I saw them when I showed up before 8. Completely unprofessional.
I really liked everything about this restaurant. Food was great. Staff was nice and very attentive, and the atmosphere was really cool. I got the tiger cry beef for an appetizer and it was delicious and had a good spice to it. My main course was the pad sea eaw and it was also fantastic. Food came out nice and hot and the portions were good sized.
Great Thai food! I've been there twice now and it does not dissapoint!
Decided to try the beef mint salad and sampler platter. Both were good.
Fantastic dining experience every time. Food is always on point, staff is friendly and attentive. Watch out for the spicy levels as they tend to pack a punch. Have tried almost every wish on the menu and are never disappointed.
It was very good atmosphere was beautiful people were friendly
We have been going to Thai Place regularly for years. It is consistently delicious, we have never had anything that we did not find to be top notch. The staff is friendly and takes excellent care of their customers. I look forward to many more visits in the future. Thanks, Thai Place!
Very good Thai food. Will accommodate vegans and vegetarians. Love this place!
The most amazing pineapple fried rice with shrimp and chicken in the entire city! I also love their Pad Thai and Penang Curry. The Inn Restaurant seating is nice enough just not all that atmospheric because everyone has to walk through the tables to get to take out orders or even be seated. However that is certainly not a deterrent to going in my opinion.
Excellent food!!! Good help
Beautiful delicious food
My absolute favorite Thai restaurant in Kansas City. The eggrolls are always fresh, the Pineapple Thai Rice is simple but perfect and the Garlic Pepper Stir Fry is delicious. The service is great and it's lovely that they remember us whenever we come in.
In my opinion, this is the best Thai food around. We have never had bad service or food. I like that all of the staff work together to serve everyone.
Crab Rangoon and cashew chicken. 🤌.
Still same review. Every. Single. Time. It hits the spot.
If you love Thai food, this is the place to go!!
Oh my Gosh! This place is so Delicious! Great customer service, super friendly and fast!🤤😍
The wings are a MUST HAVE IF YOU COME HERE! And the dumplings! Everything was good! My bf and I are currently eating the fried banana coconut ice cream 🍨 and it’s to die for!
Which reminds me, I gotta hurry up or he’s gonna finish it all lol . BEST PLACE EVER!
Excellent Chicken Phad Thai
Hands down, this is my favorite restaurant!! The staff is fast, helpful, and friendly. The food is amazing!! I truly could eat here everyday!
Great experience at Thai Place! Attentive servers and never ran out of water. Crab Rangoon was delicious (but small), my son had fried rice and it was EXCELLENT. My husband and I both had beef and fried tofu phad thai. Huge portions and sooooo delicious. We’ll be back.
Good Thai food, great local option for good food.
The red curry is the best in Kansas. Amazing service 10/10
I don't get by here enough. The food is always superb. The best hot tea in at least a 20-mile radius. The Thai coffee is awesome as well.
If you are a fan of flavor and spicy hot Thai spicy is the way to go. Though most people I've been there with find it a bit too warm.
When I walked in it was nobody inside that should've been the sign, food so horrible I got to fast for 48hrs just water
Delicious and authentic Thai food!
Excellent food and service every time.
First time and will go again. Excellent food and service !!
One of the best traditional Thai food restaurants I've had. My wife and I will binge their curry and rice multiple weeks in a row. Great food, great service, and a fun place to eat. Occasional small mistakes with ordering to go but 5 stars nonetheless.
Definitely something different, service was good, atmosphere was good, I am not saying the food was not good. It was just very different for me & I think you have to have an enquired taste for that kind of meal to enjoy everything.
The food and service here is great. Their hot and sour soup is wonderful.
Best Thai I've had in town.
I had wanted to try this restaurant based on a few friends' recommendations so I was really excited to share the experience with my adult son. The food was yummy and you could pick how hot you wanted the seasoning: mild, medium, or hot. The mild was plenty spicy for me. The service was excellent. Staff was very nice and efficient. Atmosphere was basic, nothing out of the norm but the service and food were worth the trip.
I'm a hard critic, and this place was an easy all-around 5 stars!
Love the panang and the pineapple fried rice.
The best!! Crab Rangoon and Spring Rolls are phenomenal! My fave Thai and top 2 fave eat-outs!
