Thai eatery serving classic curries & noodles, plus sushi, in a relaxed, traditional space.
Absolutely delicious! Got the beef yellow curry with coconut rice and 2 chicken satay. Only issue was the amount of peanut sauce for the satay. Both little cups were barely filled. There was only enough food 1 piece of chicken per cup so I had 6 without any sauce. Other than that, the food was amazing.
My mom loves the Yellow Curry and I like the Thai Teriyaki and Chicken satay. The atmosphere of the restaurant is great, and the service is amazing. I usually do takeout and my food is hot and ready when we arrive, but when we dine in the staff is friendly and goes above and beyond. My mom has difficulty using her hands and they helped her box her leftovers.
Kitchen Mae Kong was a great experience!
As soon as we walked in we were greeted and taken to our table. They were attentive and took our order in a timely manner. Both of our servers had great customer service and were friendly. We started with the summer rolls as our appetizer which were delicious. We then ordered pad Thai chicken and shrimp which was delicious as well. For the dessert we ordered the mango π₯ sticky white rice. We are satisfied with our food and service and definitely recommend this place.
What a great find! We had vegan/vegetarian guests in town and wanted to dine out. Found Kitchen Mae Kong through Google search...and so happy we did!
The ambiance of restaurant combined with the delicious food and attentive staff make this an all around winner!
Highly recommend you give them a try! We look forward to dining here again!!
By far the best Thai Iβve had in Charlotte! Finally a restaurant that serves the real flavor of Thailand! Willing to drive over 30 minutes just to eat here . I tried the red curry and pad Thai and both were 10/10.

We love coming to this place for our special occasions. This time I had the crispy duck and he had the pad see ew, those were delicious! You guys always give us the best service!
Good has went downhill in my opinion. Sushi wasnβt bad, but the fried tofu, peanut sauce and spring roll sauce sucks. Would recommend that someone from the restaurant visit Thai House in Charlotte to get some pointers. Very disappointed in my food this evening.
THAI BASIL FRIED RICE- that's all you need to know. This place is incredible! Spring rolls, pot stickers - best in Gaston County

Always good food and quiet atmosphere
Don't order take out here they will ignore you when you come in the door. Doesn't ask if you need help with anything while there literally no one in the restaurant. I can see a bunch of people in the kitchen and yet it take them over 25 min just to complete an order. Needless to say I never got my food because I was ignored and I waited over 45 min and still got ignored. I just left with disgust and will never come back here ever again.
Always fresh food. We are always welcomed with warm friendly staff. Oei is our special friend! She remembers everything from our last visit. Makes us feel so special π
Favorite place on Gastonia for pho, love the woodwork on walls as well. Awesome staff as well.
Un lugar sencillo pero con una cocina deliciosa. La mezcla de tallarines, camarones y verduras salteadas es ΓΊnica. El sasΓ³n es ΓΊnico la salsa de chiles picados en aceite junto con chile seco en trozos son una gran combinaciΓ³n. Se ha convertido en uno de mis lugares favoritos en Gastonia
A great Thai restaurant with wonderful service and beautiful decor. The food was delicious as well. My favorite was the beef pad see ew, number 4 spicy!
Literally best thai food ever!!! Please get the thai tea itβs so good I almost cried, the aburi sushi roll is AMAZING!! ANDD get the thai wings π€€that brought me to tearsβΌοΈβΌοΈ The workers are so nice as well, they treat me like a queen every time I goπΈπ» I ate so much and the price was SO worth it because the experience I had was phenomenal ππ
Everything with our meal was ok....EXCEPT when it came to the Shrimp Summer roll. We were so disappointed when we got them and saw that each roll had 1 shrimp for each roll. Never have I seen that level of cheap before. Also, when you look inside, it's honestly mostly lettuce. Probably the saddest Shrimp summer rolls I've ever had. It felt like such a waste of money.
Excellent food paired with excellent service is always a winner in my book. I highly recommend the Thai style pad Thai.
Pineapple fried rice is fantastic!!!
I order from here all the time and I love the Tom Yum Shrimp Hot Pot. It is so delicious with the abundance of mouthwatering flavors. I highly recommend this place every time!
Absolutely wonderful food, we especially love the chicken fried rice. It's a bit expensive so we can't come here as often as we'd like. But it's great every time.
The food was very good. The service was a little slow and we had to ask for our check. It was Valentines Day though and we chalked it up to that.
Great Thai food, and staff is always polite and friendly.
Awesome food!!
The temperature inside the restaurant was sickly warm and humid; not comfortable at all. The food was just okay. The non-alcoholic drinks are way over priced. The service was good once they noticed we were waiting.
I miss Thai House.
I'm so happy I found this place. I had the soup which is a complete meal in itself. Delicious broth with meat balls, sliced pork, vegetables, etc. very flavorful. Atmosphere is great and the service was too. I went earlier in the week and I'm going back again today. Nothing like a good hot bowl of soup on a cold day.
Great food and service, each visit. Reasonable prices.
Good food
We went thru Gastonia on way to Charlotte. Just happened to Google for some Asian food. We only saw Kitchen Mae Kong. Just in a strip mall area in a small town. OMG food was awesome, service unbelievable, very nicely decorated. This was like finding a needle in a hay stack wow. I will visit again thank to the wonderful ladies waiting on us. Merry Christmas everyone. Let's keep these folks busy here!!!
Ridiculously slow.
This restaurant the food quality is amazing. The staff is amazing. Their sanitation score is 99.7. The restaurant is clean. This is what I expect a restaurant to be. Thank you so much for providing great service restaurant and good quality food.

EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE π EXCELLENT FOOD
Yummy food and a very chill spot.
Love the staff and the food is so yum yum π€€
I ordered the number 2. Pad See Ewe and it was one of the best meals I have ever eaten. I will definitely be back soon.
This place is always so friendly and delicious!

Very nice staff! And very unexpectedly beautiful atmosphere. Food was amazing! Highly recommend and wish we lived nearby so we could go often.
Such Delicious food! When iβve ordered takeout from other thai places in Clt, their food is always so dry when i get home. NOT the case here! The workers are all extremely friendly too. Canβt beat it.
Best chicken pad Thai in the area!!
Very good Thai food. Small-ish portions for the price.
Great place if you love Thai food. The pork belly is really good.
Wasser war nicht so gut, fΓΌr USA irgendwie aber normal. Sonst war alles top! Essen war sehr gut und er Preis stimmt auch.
Sushi was great! Pot stickers are great! Grilled Chicken satay is great! 1st time here we will definitely come again when we are in the area. Highly recommend this place! Great service.
Great food friendly people
Pad Thai is delicious when you add a little red pepper!
Fantastic pad thai!
I had pot stickers and pad Thai. DELICIOUS! The food came out really fast(lunch-time and slow business) but the service was, in true Thai fashion, friendly and with a smile. The atmosphere was calming. I enjoyed my experience.
Almost didnβt stop as we weβre looking for a standby when in the area, Thai House, formerly in this location. Glad we stayed. Potstickers, green and yellow curry all very tasty. Fast friendly service. The fixtures are from the previous restaurant and a bit worn but comfortable.
Very good curry. Service has always been friendly, fast, and helpful.
It was quiet, delicious and the waitress, Ms. Sai, was extremely nice and helpful!
Absolutely the slowest restaurant I have ever eaten at, sat for at least 45m while the waiter kept saying we so busy with only a handful of people even in the restaurant.......I think she meant our cooks don't know what the hell they're doing, because the food screamed it as well. No apologies or adjustments to the bill for the slow and slack service. Will never visit here again, I've had better at to-go only Asian restaurants.
I love this place. It's great that Gastonia has such a great Thai place close by. I'm a huge fan of curry dishes, so I love the Singapore Noodles and the Yellow Curry, both with chicken. The service is fast and friendly, and the decor inside is really beautiful and intricate. If you like Thai cuisine, you should definitely check out Kitchen Mae Kong!
The Food was great, except that we waited an hour before we got our food. I wanted the Jasmine Tea but was told they didn't serve it after three p m (not sure if she understood the question). So I ordered a sweet tea. To me the sweet tea did not taste good. So I told the waitress that it did not taste good and could I get a Thia Tea in its place? The Thia Tea was very good. I was alittle surprised when I got the ticket to pay that I had been charged for both sweet tea and thia tea after what I had told the waitress.
LOVE this place will be back sooo good and the server great service THANK YOU
Food taste is good. But their service is slow
Ive been here a few times. The prices are great for the high quality of food. The staff are very kind and the restaurant is clean and relaxed.
The chicken satay and sushi is pretty good however the pad thai was really oily and was lacking a bit of flavor if I'm honest.
The food is soooo good π π so tasty
Absolutely loved it. Went for lunch and quick service. Ordered the pork belly chef special with medium spice and it was so flavorful and perfectly textured that I was literally stunned at the first bite. Wait staff was incredibly attentive and friendly, my drink never reached half empty without an offered refill. I tipped 30% and will gladly do so again. Absolutely will be coming back here again and trying more of these incredible dishes.
Clearly this is an authentic Thai restaurant. The atmosphere was incredible. The service was excellent. The food......well.....if you do not like Thai food then you will not like this place. The food was some of the best if not the best Thai food I have eaten. The soup, Coconut Milk Soup, I have never had before and it is absolutely wonderful. I had the Kee Mow and my wife had the Pad Thai Noodles both with chicken and both excellent. A must go for a wonderful expierence.
THEY REOPENED!!!!!!!
Welcome baaaaack yall!!
This place has good food, flavorful pad thai and green curry. However, it is pricey for what you get and their kitchen closes 30 minutes before the restaurant does.
2nd time here. Such a great experience. Pad Thai with chicken, Montana Roll, and Nigiri Unigi were awesome. Ambience is wonderful (love sitting up at the bar, great atmosphere). Service is outstanding. Can't wait to go back. :-)
First time for Thai food, we will be back
Our favorite spot for date nights.
I can't say enough good things.
Food is always a 10, wait staff is so attentive, they even know our usual order without having to ask.
The only time I've ever had an issue here was because of other patrons being loud.
I like to call in my order because I like to change a few things. They get it right every time!!
Great place for lunch!
The food here is always excellent and the service impeccable. The restaurant is clean and well decorated but showing some signs of age. Definitely worth the stop in.
The restaurant itself from the outside seems ordinary and cookie cutter but once you step inside you will feel as if transported to Thailand! The decoration, the ambiance and the beautifully intricate woodwork! And above all the food and service was amazing! A must visit hidden gem!
This is one of my favorite local restaurants. It has excellent veggie sushi and fantastic beverages (iced jasmine sweet tea, iced thai coffee). The pad see ewe with tofu is my favorite dish. The service is spectacular and the environment is luxurious. It's always a good experience here.
Very good.
My boyfriend and I came here on a whim for lunch one day and the miso ramen was enough to want a second round. Last night was our anniversary so we decided to go there again. Let me tell you, these people do not disappoint. The server recognized us and they were very attentive, the food was sensational. I had the pork belly basil and he had the par som pla. They even remembered the sake that I like β€οΈ
Fabulous!! Food and service are top notch!!! Place should be packed every night but it isnβt π’if youβre in the area check this place out
Pad three king is my favorite
Great food and very friendly service.
The Best food I ever had!!
I've been here several times and the restaurant is always clean and there is always a table ready. The food is always good and fairly quick service... No complaints here!
Food was bland and underwhelming for the price. Does not measure up to Thai House. I'd rather drive to Charlotte for a good meal worth the price. The pad thai is not even made with pad thai noodles. If you know, then you know.
My Go2 in Gastonia!!! Great Food, Great service.
Kitchen Mae Kong had very nice staff and were easy to talk to. The food was delicious and filling. I would eat here again for sure. Ask to sit in the house!
Good service and amazing food
Disappointed they no longer have lunch menu
A great place for Thai food if your in the area.
I went here a few months ago with my boyfriend at the time and it was really good. He had eaten there quite a few times and we finally went together and I was pleasantly surprised. The interior decoration and design was really cool and the waitress was super sweet. Will definitely go back.
The food and service was great! I ordered Pad Krapraw minus the egg. I'll be back!!
This place is amazing! I live in Greenville SC, any time I have to go north to Charlotte or that direction, I always time it so I can stop by for lunch or dinner. Lady who runs s the place is very sweet and always full of advice. Food is top notch! Kudo's!
I ordered Pad Thai is was noodles and ketchup mixed with honey. This was my second time giving a chance . Yeah the pad thai is wrong so wrong.
Amazing! The service is off the hook! Food was absolutely fantastic!
The best authentic Thai food Iβve had since Bangkok. I canβt wait to go back and try the Thai seafood.
The food and the service was absolutely great, will definitely be back
My boyfriend and I go here so much they know our orders by heart. Never disappoints!!
The food was spectacular and service exceptional. Restaurants decor is also very original a great environment to eat in.
This spot is phenomenal. Coming from
NYC originally, we got lot great Thai restaurants. This food is authentic, fresh and mesmerizing. I strongly recommend this place and their customer service is great! Definitely coming back!
Food was oily and bland, ordered for our whole restaurant. The papaya salad had no spice, we are so sad and wonβt be returning because of this. The papaya salad had more peanuts then spice, prices were also a little crazy. Overall not satisfied!
My favorite place for Chicken Pad Thai. Their spice is on point.
I donβt like to write bad reviews even when the meal does not meet my expectations π but I have to be honest. i came across Kitchen Mae Kong in a last minute turn while returning home but I had it saved in my βWant to goβ list so now I can cross it off my pending list. The place is Beautiful, is very different than anything I have seen in Gastonia so far. The staff is amazing, super attentive, I ordered to go and was sitting at the bar, waiting, and everyone asked me if I have been helped and when I said yes, I was offered water or of I wanted something to drink. That was nice. Now, the food. I ordered two rolls, I think they were the crunchy dragon roll and tempura shrimp roll, canβt read it very well in the receipt but pretty sure those are the names. The rolls are big, the presentation was nice but as difficult as it is for me to say this, they tasted more like the store-bought rolls. I am going to try other rolls later but I think they can be better. I am a sushi lover and never miss the chance to try different places.
The best Thai food Iβve ever had! Outstanding customer service with amazing food!! Definitely recommends!
I can't say enough good things about this place. We just discovered this recently and have continued to get DoorDash from them ever since. The food is fresh and hot, even when it's being delivered, and the portions are perfect. I feel so lucky to have a place like this in this area as opposed to somewhere like Charlotte. The sushi is also incredibly good and I am extremely picky when it comes to sushi. Give this place a try, you won't be disappointed!
Absolutely the best !!! Awesome service, awesome food, awesome prices, highly recommend
Deliciosa comida!!! El pai thai de lujo
The best value in sushi in the greater Charlotte area. It's the best sushi I've had and the most reasonably priced
Oooooooo gooooood
One of my GO TO spots
Very friendly people serving delicious food.
All of the dishes we ordered were delicious, my only regret was that I started eating it before taking a picture of each beautiful plate!
always great. prompt service for both dine-in and to-go orders, really good food, and a variety of reasonably priced sake! the staff are also extremely sweet, and the aesthetic of the restaurant is really nice to be in.
I'm a delivery driver appreciate all the staffs friendliness and hard work
Amazing. Ambiance. Food. Service.
One of best Thai food experiences ever.
Amazing food and amazing service
The food and service were both absolutely great! And the inside is much nicer looking than I expected from the street. The duck Noodle soup, potstickers, and bento box sushi I had were all wonderful.
Great food
Food is great! We had spring rolls first, absolutely delicious! My husband had beef and broccoli. He was disappointed because he said it was too salty. I had it later and liked it! I had the pineapple-fried rice with pork. It was good but they left out the pineapple. I was disappointed that they would forget a major ingredient. And it was canned too! So that was very unfortunate.π€π Also, the tea was not good this visit, too weak. I asked that it be taken off the bill, which it was. But I think we'll go back.
The food was good but we had to wait an hour for our order!
Food good. Service great. Priced reasonable.
Our favorite place β€
One of the best authentic Thai restaurants I've ever had the pleasure of dining in!
