Thai Submongkoi Naka in Peculiar, Missouri, is truly a hidden gem! This restaurant is a best-kept secret for a reason—their Tom Yum soup is extraordinary, bursting with flavor and just the right amount of spice. The vegetable fried rice was equally impressive, perfectly cooked and loaded with fresh veggies.
The service was excellent; the staff was friendly and attentive, making our dining experience even more enjoyable. The place was spotless, which added to the overall positive vibe.
If you're an out-of-towner, be aware that the location can be a bit tricky to find, but trust me, it's worth the effort! Don’t miss out on this fantastic spot for delicious Thai cuisine!

Tried this place for the first time yesterday and it did NOT disappoint!
The Pad Thai is amazing! the Mild is perfect for my and the Medium was a good hot medium and was enjoyed by the rest of the group!
Friendly gentleman was very patient when taking our order and very kind during pick-up process.
WILL BE BACK!

This Thai restaurant rivals those found in the city. Pad Thai is sometimes too sweet for me, but theirs wasn't. It was fantastic. I look forward to going back and trying other dishes. I will say that food is a little bit spicier here than other restaurants. I usually get medium spicy when I eat Thai, but medium spicy was too much for me here. Next time I'll probably get mild.

What a gem this small town has! We often do carry out, but we dined in yesterday evening, and it was fantastic! They were able to quickly pull together a spot for our group and accommodate our requests. We always love the Pad Kee Mao (drunken noodles), pineapple rice, and the different curry options. The apps were tasty too: lumpia, dumplings, chicken satay, etc. We appreciate the different spice levels and the option to add more for those pepper heads in the group. The service was great; they are cheerful and on top of everything. They now serve alcohol, so you can get beer or wine with your dinner too. Definitely stop in here to get some great Thai food and a boba smoothie.

We love this Thai spot in peculiar! We have had several entrees from here and they are fantastic! We love the pad thai and crab Rangoon! Highly recommend!

Stopped in while traveling and was very impressed. Ordered red curry, orange chicken and lumpia. It was all delicious. Some of the best I’ve had.

This place is great, we had the pad thai lunch special and pad see ew lunch special both very flavorful and had the perfect amount of spice we usually do mild or medium. There was so much food we split one and saved the other for dinner. There crab Rangoons and dipping sauce are also very yummy!

Just dynamite. Some of the best Thai food my husband and I have ever had!! We’ve tried many others in different states and this place blows them all out of the water.

Was great but apparently they closed permanently according to the note on the door sad day

Called 5 times for a to go order no one picked up. Guess they don't need business.

Food is great.

We ordered Thai fried rice, curry and pad Thai. All very good!

I have NEVER had a bad meal here. Best Thai in the KC metro! A gem in Peculiar MO!!

Amazing I'm in love with this place, my new favorite food I recommend mausuman curry

Our family love this little gem. Amazing Pad Thai. Can easily can adjust spice level. (No spice to Thai Hot). This restaurant is so good it saves us a 30 minute trip north. The owner is a wonderful lady. They now have lunch specials with 2 Crab Rangoon.

Very authentic, absolutely amazing delicious food! It's the best dining experience I've had in years!

This is the last time we order from here. We’ve had countless problems with them and when you call she laughs, not sure if it’s language barrier or what but we will be going to the Thai place in Harrisonville from now on. It was nice having a Thai place in little peculiar since there’s not much here at all. But they always forget something or make it wrong. Their medium hot is Thai hot, a lot of their dishes are sweeter than they should or need to be and the noodle dishes are dry. They also don’t garnish their phad Thai w peanuts, lime, bean sprouts of anything. Just sad and disappointing. The food is not inedible but when you’ve had good Thai you know this place isnt it. Hopefully they can get more consistent but we won’t be around to find out.

Great food! We all had different types of Curry. They were amazing!!

Wow the service is amazing!!! The food is amazing generous portions and saucy! I highly recommend pad Thai and pad see yew and Ofcourse the crab ragoons!

Hands down best Thai food I’ve had!!! You won’t be disappointed! And the staff was awesome.

I love this restaurant. They are so nice and the food is amazing. It is authentic Thai food. It atmosphere is amazing It really makes you feel like your in Thailand. I implore you to check out this hidden gem in peculiar.

Love the curry & the people so much. My family also enjoys their orange chicken. Best service around

Amazing service and people. We come here every week😁

Thai pepper in Harrisonville is literally 100x better

The pad Thai was delicious, fresh, and plentiful! Spicy if you love it that way

The food was great, and so is the service! Loved the Cry tiger beef!

I had the Pad Thai and found it to be very good. They also serve a very good hot jasmine tea. Highly recommended.

UPDATED 9/26/23: The new owners have done an excellent job operating this restaurant. The food is delicious and portions are generous. I highly recommend the Pad Thai.

Some of the best Thai in all of KC!!

What a surprise in Peculiar!! Some of the best tasting Thai that we've had in a while. Very friendly staff.

The food was excellent. Although the server was nice, the service was slow. The restaurant was really hot and dirty and in need of repair and updates.
We had the Thai Platter for an appetizer and it was great. The pad thai was delicious.
Lots of to go orders, so this may be a better option instead of dining in.

I have been here several times with my husband. We have tried several of the curries. Never disappointed! And it’s enough food to take home for another meal!

OMG! This place is amazing. First time here and we loved it. Easy to find, not too big, and the lady was so nice. The food was great. Wasn't expensive. It is going to be our top place to go. Try it, you'll like it!

I finally stopped in to try them out today, and I was blown away. Some of the best Thai food that I've had in the KC area. Panang curry and crab fried rice are amazing. Glad that I stopped in!

This is some of the best Thai food I’ve ever had. Just go try it, you will not be disappointed.

Love their Pad Thai, excellent Thai Hot. Very good food and service.

Panang curry is excellent! I asked for medium spice and it is perfect! Can't wait to try other menu items.

Very nice people, great food

This place is amazing!

This place is the go to now in peculiar for sure!

Everything was delicious and really nice. But the price is a little too high.

Best Thai we've had in the Kansas City Metro. 😻😻😻😻😻Try the panyang curry, pad Thai, and fresh spring rolls. Everything was as gorgeous as it was delicious! We will be back to this hidden jewel in a rural strip-mall.

We love the new owners/staff! Sooo much better! (The old Thai Spice made my husband sick once and I think they used MSG). The new management doesn’t use MSG and all the food I’ve had I’ve liked! I highly recommend the Naka rolls, and the panang curry (oneof my favorites ever! I ask them to add bamboo and peppers otherwise it has no veggies) and I enjoy the pineapple fried rice, though I do wish there was a bit more flavor (it’s the most bland pineapple fried rice I’ve had. But still really good! Just feedback for staff) I love that they have Boba as well!! So thankful to have a great Thai restaurant here in Peculiar!! If you’re in the area I definitely encourage you to come visit!!

Great out of the way find! Everything was delicious! Will definitely come here as often as I’m in the area. I wish they would open a restaurant in Clinton MO!!!

Nice place to eat!

This restaurant is located right off the freeway and is easy to get to. The servings are large and the food authentic Thai. The staff is very friendly and attentive. I can't stop thinking about how delicious their Crab Rangoon and Mango Sticky Rice is! Will definitely return any time I’m in the area. Worth the visit!

I’m traveling to Kansas City and had an amazing experience. The crab rangoons were so flavorful and definitely the best I’ve tried. I highly recommend them. I also enjoyed the Top Yum soup. It’s a nice family business with friendly service!

Fantastic food. Pad tai noodles and mango sticky rice was my favorite! Crab Rangoon was also very delicious too.

awesome

Their Noodles are delicious. Loved our Pad Thai and Pad-kee-mow!

Great food and great people.

The flavor was excellent, great portions!

Great family owned Thai spot with wonderful portions for the price very tasty local spot with relaxed dining atmosphere!

Also right off the highway easy to find with lots of parking.

Highly recommend trying a flavored boba tea if you haven’t before!

This new Thai restaurant is amazing. The food is fresh, great variety, friendly service, and will be our new go to. The lady that owns it is from Thailand and everything is very authentic.

Just as good as the previous Thai business. Can’t get enough. Love it.

Very delicious. Staff is very nice!

So good! Its a cute little place tucked away but the food was amazing. We had the fried dumplings, the curry fried rice, and the sesame chicken. The portions were huge and definitely fit the price very well. At the bottom of the menu it lets you pick your spice level, fair warning, they dont hold back. It hurt so good lmao. Sadly they were out of the taro ice cream, but this place is great! Highly recommend. Server was very nice as well

Was traveling and stop by this place and food was not that great. Pho taste like those cheap packages pho in box for $13.

I tipped in cash. And later found out. We each was charged twice on our bank card. Second charge was for $5. Don't know if it's for tipping cause there were 5 of us. But the receipt and menu book stated nothing on it.

Not so good. Start with good. Spring rolls were good. Chicken dish had limited volume and few vegetables. Flavor good. Rice was a disaster - gummy and was not fresh - hard lumps as never seen before. Overpriced as well. Look it over before you leave.

I got the panang curry. Absolutely tons of flavor. The best Thai dish I've ever had

I came here with friends and they left ingredients out of almost everything we ordered; no pineapple for the fried rice, no crab for the Lee's Summit roll, no BASIL LEAVES or eggplant for the green curry. They did not tell us about replacement ingredients until after they made the food. I asked why there was no eggplant or basil in my curry and the owner told me it was because it had gone bad. I said I understood that, but asked for a discount as those were the 2 things I really wanted. She refused and after going in circles for a bit she offered to take a whole 50 cents off my order. Food was ok, but would have been better if we got what we ordered from the menu.

Just found this little gem! Food was very good and delicious.spice level medium was perfect really great flavors.great service.We will be back soon.New favorite Thai place!!
Craving it right now!!

Great local Thai food!

Thai food that can compete with anything up in the "Big City."

Food taste pretty good. A bit on the pricey side. Drunken noodles are really good, recommended the level 3 spice if you are down for some heat.

Hidden gem-
We live in belton and usually go to Overland Park for Thai food. We found this place today on accident and it was excellent! Very small place but the food tasted delicious, very fresh with excellent flavor! Wonderful service as well! We will return!

The food is good. Never been to Thailand so I can't tell if it's authentic but it compares favorably with the other similar restaurants.

Fantastic food,tiny place,cant wait to come back,food was so good and alot of fun to go here.

What a lovely surprise. We were travelling and pulled in for a quick lunch. It was some of the best Thai I have had. The steamed dumplings were excellent.

Great food...fast, friendly service!

Great food with great service.

Ordered from Peculiar Mo. location online menu for carry out. Flavor not as good as other Thai spice locations. Will probably not visit this location again.

Delicious food and wonderful service!

Our fav Thai place in all of kc

Came here a few months ago got a soup and since I'm back in the area guess we're I'll b again :)

Great food, service, and atmosphere. Looking forward to returning.

BAD FOOD. SPRING ROLL VERMICELLI WAS OLD.
NOT WORTH IT. MONEY WAS REFUNDED.

Very good!!! Will be back!

Great food and service. Enjoyed our visit.

Got Tiger Cry beef and ginger delight with chicken. Neither one was spicy at all. Reminded me of La Choy from the grocery store.

10 drive south of Belton for Thai food. There is Plentiful and tasty food for a reasonable price. My wife love pineapple rice. It is easy to access from 71th highway south. The staff is friendly and awesome service. There is plentiful parking spots.

The food was okay but I don't think I will be going back for the price. Most entrees are $13.95 I feel like you should either get a lot more for that price or this food should be priced more in the 9 to 10-dollar range especially given that it's 50% rice which doesn't cost hardly anything. There are a lot better places to eat for this kind of money.

This is the spot to get a great meal if you like or love Thai. Food is perfect for my husband and myself. Nice waiting staff, friendly and attentive.

Went by there once again there were closed but online they said there were open WERE NEVER coming back this like the 3rd time this has happened.

The panang curry is divine!!

Great environment. They do social distancing. They have great tasting food. The waiter is fast when you need something he is there. Just a great place in all.

Incredible food and service!!

UPDATE:
Sorry to say that under new management, the quality seems to have gone down. Portions are noticeably smaller as well. Really love having a local Thai place, just wish it could be like it was when you first opened

Only had excellent meals & experiences so far. Happy to support a great place to eat, the delivery special going on right now is pretty great. Also, very smooth ordering on my phone. 👍🏻

New place and good food.

Excellent Thai cuisine and great service. I recommend this restaurant.

Love it, everything is sooo good.

Awesome little place. It's flavors, and food were spot on!!!

Fantastic food!

This place used to be SO SO GOOD but they recently sold to new owners and kept the same name. Unfortunately the food is nowhere, and I mean NOWHERE near as good as it used to be since they have a different menu and use different recipes. I rarely go here anymore...

Amazing food and Great Service. Best Thai around!

Very small place in strip mall. Good food.

Great food and services

This place is always good! We have ate there several times and always comment on the excellent food and courteous service!

This is a gem!!! Fresh, high quality Thai food. Nice portions, reasonable prices. Excellent service, staff is very conscientious to the customer. Glad we found this place. Will be returning soon!!!

I'm sad that it's under new management, but the food was good with large portions. I am happy that we were able to keep a Thai restaurant in Peculiar. I'll be back to try more dishes!

Amazing food and the staff are very friendly and attentive.

New owners... That lady was rude... We told her that my daughter doesn't eat nothing spice.... And yes... They add peppers to her food... And then she said it was our fault... Dont like it anymore

Good food. Very friendly staff. Good price.

Delicious beef soup! All ingredients were fresh! I didn’t want the beef Or noodles in my beef soup as my craving was only for the broth and veggies, however they did make the soup without the noodles, although added the beef, which worked out fine because I just gave it to my boyfriend. I guess I must have the noodles next time, I’m not sure why but overall it was a great taste and experience!

It's good for a Thai place in Peculiar Mo. Price is ok. I like to do carry out.

Excellent food!

New interesting flavors, foods and drinks. Need to return and try more new foods. Very enjoyable.

Wife and I had lunch here recently. While they weren't necessarily open (still finishing up getting things in order after the change), they invited us in happily. The food was still great (still love the Drunken Noodle) and the staff were super friendly. I'm looking forward to many more delicious lunches here in the future.

Fantastic. I love their sweet chili sauce. The best.

Location was closed to renovation. Facebook link did not work and was unaware location was closed until arriving.

Great food, great service, reasonable price.
Well worth it.

Peculiar little place with excellent food and friendly staff. Would highly recommend and will definitely be stopping here again when in the area!

Fantastic quality for price. Crab rangoon is always on point- a little smaller than most places, but delicious

Wonderful food, picture quality presentation, spotless restaurant with very helpful staff !! Be adventurous, the staff will help with recommendations to your flavor choices !

Great food and service.

Perfect

Very impressive Thai restaurant. Prompt service, pleasant Thai decorations, very fresh food. Great value also.

I had Beef Red Curry and my husband had Chicken Greee Curry. Both were delicious! The Thai tea was also great! We got our meals less than 10 minutes after ordering. Good sized portions really are a good price.

Delicious, the rangoons are totally worth it! Get two orders.

Great place to eat if you like amazing thai food and wonderful sevice! The owners are doing everything right!:)

This is one of our favorite places to get carryout in Peculiar! The food is always good and the service is wonderful, as well! Everyone is always very nice and our order has been ready for us at the time stated 8 out of 10 times. A wonderful addition to this small town!

My husband and I stopped in off the interstate for a quick bite around 8pm. Immediately we were greeted with a warm smile and seated. After giving us the opportunity to look over the menu, our still warmly smiling waitress was prompt to get our orders in. After a minimal wait, our pad Thai and phanang curry were delivered steaming hot. The gentleman who brought out our food was extremely courteous and came back to see how we were enjoying our food, and to offer refills on our waters. The vegetables in the curry were refreshing as they were not over-cooked (awesome!), and the abundance of both the vegetables and chicken in the curry did not disappoint. Neither of us went away hungry! Thank you Enjoy Thai Cuisine for a quick and tasty meal.

Great food!

Delicious and inexpensive. Forget expensive city Thai and try this place. It will knock your socks off!

Really enjoyed our Thai curry dishes! Some of the best we've ever had. Very friendly service!

Words could not explain how honored I am of meeting Ms. Emi( the owner) she is super sweet and friendly. The food is amazing! I had the pineapple fried rice, and dumplings. I would say the best dumplings I ever had!
I can see this business thriving and becoming one of our best spots to enjoy excellent Thai Cuisine. Moreover, the restaurant’s has a nice family atmosphere, with super friendly and caring team. Love this restaurant!

Great find!!! Reasonably priced, friendly staff and great food- will definitely be back!!

Let me start by saying how happy I was to have a Thai restaurant open right by where I live!!! When the first opened I came here all the time and loved it. With that being said, my husband and I went there, after not going for a couple months last week. When we first walked in I noticed a pretty bad smell in the air that I hadn’t notice was there before. We placed our order. I ordered the same thing I got probably every other time I went, Beef Pad See Ew. My husband got the Sweet and Sour Chicken. We ate our appetizer and shortly after the bad smell we noticed got MUCH stronger. About 10 min after that they brought out our food. The smell we were smelling was our own meals!!! In addition to my rice noodles being so over cooked the were crumbling apart when touched and the meat on our plates had a rancid smell. We let the waitress know and she told the the owners. Mrs. Owner came our first with an angry look and asked what was going on so I explained everything in the above to them. In the middle of that Mr. Owner came out looking angry and I re-explained the situation to him and he just looked more angry after I finished my story for the third time and said ‘ok you pay for appetizer and that’s it’ grabbed our plates and walked away. I felt like they were all mad at us because we were turning down food that could very well have made us sick. Like they were trying to intimidate us! I never got ONE apology from them. Needless to say one of my favorites got scratched off our list.

As a former employee and frequent customer I can confidently say that enjoy thai cuisine is an amazing family owned restaurant. The owners and the employees are the kindest and most caring people I've ever met and the food is unbelievably delicious. And i guarantee if you choose to eat here you will have a meal to remember and you'll be dieing to come back and dine again.

I love it and i wish other people did too

This place IS SO GOOOOD!!!!! Literally the best Thai I've ever had!!! I come back once a week!

Oh maaan this stuff was good.

Inexpensive, nearby, super-easy to get to, and YUMMY!

Loved the food, staff and atmosphere. 10 out of 10 would recommend.

Heading back for our second time. Celebrating our 20 year anniversary and this was the perfect place to go! Amazing food and so friendly!

Very good Thai food. I I have been there several times and I will continue

Great food, they can make it extra spicy which we love. Great small business in Peculiar.
