Family run Thai restaurant, serving Norman since 2001.
The last time we ate here was around 2020. They used to have a buffet that we really loved. Today we ate lunch here and truly enjoyed it. They have daily specials and the portion size is just right. We went on a Wednesday and selected from the lunch special. I chose the General Chicken that was crispy and not soaking in sauce, the Massaman curry, chicken spring roll, and Pad Thai. Our meal was prepared to our satisfaction and delicious. The service was and always has been wonderful. If you haven't tried this restaurant, I recommend you give it a try.
I’d give it 10 stars if I could, food is amazing. I have the shrimp lo mein!! Noodles not too soft or too hard! Spring rolls were cooked to perfecting and had amazing flavor!
Tried out the Monday lunch special, getting the chicken spring roll, general chicken, fried rice, and massaman tofu.
The spring roll was fine, but everything else was amazing. The fried rice was very soft and flavorful. The general chicken had an incredible crunch, and the right amount of sauce. The massaman tofu was certainly my favorite; great taste, amazing texture, and overall incredibly satisfying.
Overall, an incredible deal for the price and I would certainly recommend it.
I have lived in Los Angeles & Houston my whole life and tried tons of Thai food from various areas of the large cities. We happened to be on the road and stopped in for a quick bite.
This is hands down, the “Best little Thai food restaurant in Texas.” WORTH the drive if you ever wanted to try it or as a pit stop along your journey.
Service is great, food is amazing with such a variety to choose from, there’s something for everyone. The yellow curry with a hint of spice with hot jasmine tea (made with real leaves, not bag) was the perfect palate pleaser on a hot summer day. Try the fresh flavorful seafood salad or Panang to spice things up in your life!
Delicious and price was nice.

This place is amazing! The employees are always so nice! thank you!
One of my favorite places in Norman. The staff is lovely and the food is delicious.
C’est bon mes petits chefs

Great service, friendly family atmosphere, clean tables and silverware.
Our usual order (and recommendation) for the past twenty years is meekrab and spring rolls to start, evil jungle chicken (spice lvl 2), pork fried rice (with a ladle full of curry), and chicken pad thai. We always look forward to coming down to Norman.
Very nice place to hangout and experience Thai cuisine
My wife and I love this restaurant. She always gets pad Thai and I love the evil jungle 4 stars. I highly recommend this restaurant.
Outstanding Thai food and very nice people. It's my new favorite restaurant in Norman. We love it. I love the Evil Jungle Chicken Curry.
Food was ok. The fried rice was a bit bland, as well as the Pad Thai. The spring rolls were really good, though. The Prik Nam Pla wasn't spicy at all. Being half Thai, I'm pretty critical of Thai restaurants. The food took about 35 to 40 minutes. Definitely not fast. I'm just in town visiting and would probably go back in a pinch, but wouldn't be my go-to for Thai.
Hidden gem in unassuming strip mall.
Evil jungle chicken has kept me coming back to this place for more than 20yrs. No joke. Amazing.
Good service and great food.
Nice Thai restaurant. excellent food and best value for Thai food in Norman
This is such a hidden Gem. The pad Thai was absolutely amazing the curry was super tasty as well. The owner and his wife are the sweetest. Don’t forget to try a tasty drink before you leave! I suggest the honeydew melon slush it was fantastic. We will be back absolutely loved this place.
Update 2024: I had forgeten I had been here til I walked in the door. Checked the reviews and the recent ones were all positive, but the food is just not good. It all tastes flat. It's cooked fine, but no seasoning.
Nice people, quick service.
2022: I was disappointed. The General's Chicken was just a bunch of crunchy chunks of breading; very little meat. The Pad Thai had very little seasoning.
The food was awesome
Wonderful host. Family run restaurant that used to be on Lindsay Street.
Excellent food.
General's chicken, Evil Jungle Chicken, Chili paste stir fry Pork, and so many other Excellent food. Spice levels will be based in customer request. Attentive Family run restaurant. Our favourite restaurant in Norman, Oklahoma.
By the way they do not have the Buffet any longer after Covid-19. But instead, you get full Attentive customer service.
Food is fresh and hot. Thai teas are excellent. Worth it!
Food was great. The beef salad was wonderful. Big portions. Dining area was attractive and messy, but the food made up for it. The employees are always kind.
Got take out, delicious.
If you love Thai food go somewhere else. You will be severely disappointed if you go here! On top of not being spicy (how do you make curry not spicy?!) It was bland, chalky, and unbalanced. I took two bites and couldn't finish my curry. We left 95% of the food on our table (the satay was ok). My partner went to pay for our drinks and appetizer and the guy said next time have something else and comped our drinks, but not the horrendous food. There will not be a next time. Go to Thawan on the west side!
Always great food!!! Never a disappointment.
I got food to go. The portions are great and the woman at the counter was nice. Everything I've eaten here has been good so far and they have vegan options!
Great lunch buffet, love it!
We enjoy eating here. The family is so sweet. The food is great.
Got rid of lunch buffet. Wasted a 30 min drive.
I ordered Door Dash, but due to the fact that I'm a Google reviewer, I had to come and check out Google reviews. This food was so freakin good, and still piping hot with Doordash. The ingredients were fresh and I'm so full, it's time for a nap.
The last time we ate here was around 2020. They used to have a buffet that we really loved. Today we ate lunch here and truly enjoyed it. They have daily specials and the portion size is just right.

The food here is unique and fantastic. Definitely worth the price. Full of flavor and a great selection of pescatarian and vegetarian options. The Phad PHED Catfish Filet is probably my favorite dish. One of my favorite restaurants in Norman
Highly recommend the general chicken and white rice
Don't forget to try lamb
Pad Tai was really bland.
Awesome food!
Price was great and the food was delicious.
Excellent Thai food and customer service in Norman. Highly recommend!
Loving family great food would recommend anyone to come here..mom dad and son they help explain exactly what the platter consists of the way it taste very good people great food
It is obviously a mom and pop operation so the atmosphere is not so important. They seem to have regulars. Loyalty is a positive.
No buffet anymore!! What a pity!!
La comida esta rica, una experiencia de ramen 🍜 muy buena
This is the best Thai food in Norman if not the metro, especially for the price. Pre-covid they had THE Best buffet offered around but sadly it hasn't come back. The daily specials are fabulous however and anything that was offered on the buffet is available to order à la carte. The restaurant is plain with simple furnishings but definitely in keeping with the humble authenticity of a truly good Thai find. It's an owner operated, family business. They are sweet people and definitely remember you when you keep coming back!
I just got a to-go from there in the hour before they closed, super friendly, my order was waiting, I got a delicious drink, and the veggie rolls were delicious! This place will be my pick anytime I want thai food now!
Thai Kum Koon is unquestionably the best Thai restaurant in Norman. We have lots of good Thai restaurants, of that there's no doubt. But Thai Kum Koon's food, even when eating from the buffet, is hot and delicious. I like their new location next to Homeland on Alameda because it reflects the quality of their food better than their previous space. Their larb is beyond compare, and their green curry is divine. They have vegetarian and vegan offerings on their Buffet as well as menu . You won't be disappointed if you go to another Thai restaurant; as I said we have many that are good. But Thai Kum Koon has been around for a long time and I suspect they'll be here for a while. Enjoy!
Very good flavors and decent prices.
Authentic ingredients, freshly cooked to order, very personable owners and servers. Great experience every time!
Best thai food I've ever had. Never disappoints and I always have to take some home because of how much they serve, lucky me it's so good. The gentleman who is in front is very kind and helps you order.
Try the seafood tofu hotpot :)
Best Thai in Norman! Strongly recommend any curry, stir-fry, (or my personal favorite the curry stir-fry). Five spice shrimp is also really good. Portions are amazing, and they don't skimp on the rice, like other Thai places.
Prices have gone up due to covid and inflation, etc. but are still super reasonable!
Best Thai food in Oklahoma area
This was a college favorite and we were scared they closed for good. So happy to see they just moved! The spring rolls are phenomenal and you can't go wrong with their pad Thai or pad sieu.
This is one of our favorite restaurants that we have been going to for years. They have some great food there, like my absolute favorite dish the hot and sour eggplant. They have a lot of great options, the staff are nice, and we usually don't have to wait too long for our food.
This is one of the best Thai food restaurants in Oklahoma! And we love their boba teas!
Authentic Thai Food--they have traditional dishes that most Thai restaurants are too shy to list on their menu as well as your more usual curries and stir fries.
Friendly family ran business, was recommended here by my Uncle when he used to go here in college. That's how long they've been serving some of the best thai in Norman!
Also if you dine in, they give you more than enough rice to accompany your curry, which is a huge plus in my book.
I have been coming here with my family for years. My family, my husband's family, and my friends love the food and the people who work here. When we have family in town this is our go to place to celebrate together. They have the best Thai food in town. They have great pad thai, fried rice, general chicken, great rice and great thai tea.
Excellent food at reasonable prices no longer has a buffet
Super friendly owners/chefs. Plenty of authentic choices for the adventurous and not so adventurous. My favorite things are the Vegetable Thai fried rice, pot stickers and pickled pork soup.
Lunch special was amazing, great price and wonderful food! This place is a good option if you are vegetarian or eating less meat as well. The veggie dishes are flavorful and filling; my garlic stir fried vegetables were to die for and the tofu curry was perfect.
The Vietnamese coffee was also delicious and got me through my long work day.
All four dishes were rated 5 stars by each family member that was dining, so it definitely gets 5 stars overall. Friendly wait-staff, and timely food service overall. We also enjoyed some Milk-Tea!
Very good Thai food and loved how everything tasted the environment however was the only thing lacking it was painfully dull and there was nothing spectacular about it. The service and cooking spot on but I would recommend some thai music at least. Good food but so boring.
Hands down the best Thai food I’ve ever had . I was a little hesitant to try because it looks nothing like the Thai food Im use to but WOW ! I live 2 hours away and I drive up here just for it .
Me and my wife have been living in Norman for a few years now and this is hands down our favorite Thai place. The food is great and the staff is friendly. Their beef fried rice is my go to and I usually order atleast once a week!
Best beautiful place, with the dearest people EVER!
Quiet..
Hot and sour Fish for anyone with acquired taste. Yummy pad..
Best authentic Thai food in town
We really enjoyed the great food.
Just wasn’t that great, the portions were very good but the pad Thai just wasn’t quite right.
great food, vegetarian/vegan friendly, family owned, generous new lunch special!
Iv been eating at this restaurant for 17 years and iv always enjoyed it the food is great and the service is also great iv never had an issue with my food it affordable and good quality if i could id give it a 10. If you don't know what to get i recommend the pad thai, the beef salad,the lo mein and the basil stir-fry
I have lived in Los Angeles & Houston my whole life and tried tons of Thai food from various areas of the large cities. We happened to be on the road and stopped in for a quick bite.

Me and my boyfriend love this place , seafood tofu hotpot is to die for. Tomato egg is also another personal favorite, definitely order from the chef rec on the back everything is a gem and never dissapoints
My family loves this restaurant! We have been eating there for years and the family that runs the place are wonderful people. Our favorite is their chicken massaman curry and the beef with flat noodles. My teenage daughter loves the potted plant smoothie.
The absolute best Thai food in town. Always friendly, always fresh, and the best price
This place is bar none, the best Thai food in town. When I got back from a month in Thailand, I ate all over town for something that tasted authentic to take me back to that magical place. Thai kum koon, hands down, is that place. I would eat here everyday if I could afford it, though prices are incredibly reasonable. I would try to get a job here just for the perks, but I believe this is a family run place, which adds sooo much to it's charm. It's always the same cook and the same service people when the owner is not there, which I've actually never encountered. He's there from open to close doing most of the customer interfacing himself. So I just try to eat here as often as I can. My favorites: himapon, massaman, and pad thai. Their mango sticky rice is also a must for me. I've been eating here for about 20 years now, and as long as I live in Norman, I will be a proud loyal Thai kum koom groupie...
I've gone here a few times now. I usually get something basic. The Pad Thai and the Tom Yum soup are both really good. But today I had to leave a bad review because I tried to order something new... and it was terrible. I ordered pork Hong Kong noodles. There was nothing at all good about it... The noodles were undercooked and overcooked in parts. There was no discernable flavor apart from salt. I'm not giving 1 star because they have had some good dishes otherwise, but the fact that this one dish was served to me was actually so disappointing. Should a restaurant deserve a bad review for one dish? I'm not sure, but if you tasted what I did, I think you would understand.
Great food, family atmosphere
First time. Food was fantastic. Really enjoyed it.
Great value, delicious food
We did take out, although you can eat there. The food is very tasty and the owner is friendly and greets each customer from behind the counter. We'll be back.
Came in for lunch and the food was ready in minutes. Generous portions and everything tasted really good. The steamed dumplings and pad Thai were cooked perfectly. Friendly service. I highly recommend. I will have to come back to this spot again soon.
Love this place, one of our favorite place to eat. Always so good!
Great place for tasty thai food with wonderful staff
BEST FOOD EVER! do yourself a favor and order from the chef’s recommendation, love the service and food here
My all-time absolute favorite place to get Thai food. Whenever I want the best Pad Thai in the state, I go here. The environment makes you feel like you're having dinner at a best friend's house rather than a restaurant. The staff are so kind and make absolutely mouth-watering food. This place is amazing and I will always come back. If I could give it 6/5 stars, I definitely would.
Great food with safe dine in. Masked required with friendly staff.
Pot stickers followed by stir fry with peanut sauce. Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum... thats 5 yums.
4 star goes for the food. Ordered chicken fried rice and Hong Kong noodles. It was very authentic.
Salted fish and tofu hotpot + seafood with tofu hotpot are both delicious.
Love the Thai tea so good ! The prices are good too.
Took my grandson's for late lunch. Owners were attentive & playful with the children. Food was excellent.
Hidden gem that has, in my opinion, the most consistent quality of food you'll find. Owners are so friendly and don't make you feel rushed if you have questions or ask for modifications. My hope is one day the world will return to some degree of normalcy for I've heard their lunch buffet was amazing. Can't wait to try it.
Best
Great service. Exterior looks rough, but the Pad Ki Mao was delicious and spicy.
Food was fresh and very tasty. The service was quick and polite.
I've heard so many good things about this place I finally decided to give it a try. While they aren't opened for their lunch buffet (sigh), you can order off the menu for carry out. We picked up the e dishes all of which were delicious, fresh and beyond ample in size. There are enough leftovers to probably make another meal for the 4 of us. Biggest takeaway for me was how very friendly they were. Definitely in our rotation of go to places from hereon out.
Thai Kum Koon’s food is sooooo good :)
I’ve been enjoying the service and food here for years. The Panang, steamed dumplings and general chicken are my favorites, but everything I’ve tried is exceptional. It is a true gem of Norman.
This intimate and cozy restaurant is locate in Norman. Truly the best Thai food ever. If you are looking to get something new, this is the place for you. The prices are extremely reasonable compared to similar places in Norman. I highly recommend the Panang, which is an amazing dish with vegetables and chicken in a creamy sweet and spicy curry sauce. Customize the spice level to your taste!
My first visit and WOW! I Had the Tom Yum Shrimp Soup (small). Really really good. And a lot of soup for the money. Then had the Phad Phed DEEP Fried Filet Catfish with Green Beans in mild curry sauce topped with Crispy Basil Leaves. A Truly delightful adventure. Update. 20-Jun-2020. They do dine-in, but no buffet.
it's pretty freaking good man!
Stopped in for a quick lunch while working in Norman. Fantastic food & friendly staff. I suggest the cucumber salad & tum yum ♡♡♡
Exellent
For was delicious and staff was helpful. Easy online ordering.
Delicious food and big portions for the price, it is nice to have good thai food so close
Good food and friendly staff. A lot of food for the price.
Best in Norman. Always good on quantity and price. Super friendly staff.
The ONLY place our family goes for Thai food!
This little establishment is the closes to my heart. I have been going to this place since I moved to Norman, about 12yrs ago. The staff is friendly and is on a personal level with all their customers. I always feel like I'm at home, away from home. The Thai food is wonderful and is authentic however they know me. The cooks always prepare my meals the way Thai food should taste when I order my dishes. I'm not sure if all the food tastes that authentic, or if they prepare it the way I like it and I appreciate. It means a lot to me because I have days when I'm really busy at work and I don't have time to cook my own dishes. I highly recommend the lunch buffet and all of the dishes. My favorite dish is the plain sticky rice and a whole fried tilapia with the papaya salad. Spicy level 5
I've been eating here for about 7 years now and people at my job are starting to enjoy it as well. This place has the nicest staff, very family oriented and they're food is amazing! They also have a coffee and smoothie bar now. They're iced coffees are twice as good as starbuck's at a fraction of the price! Try it once and you'll be hooked.
Simple food that always hits the spot! Just what you want at a $10 (including tax and tip) lunch buffet.
Good food, if u ever get it. Took over an hr to get food
Fantastic food. Excellent service. Curry dishes are really good.
好吃
Great buffet
The food was recommend by a Chinese coworker. It was very authentic tasting, and offered some unusual dishes I've never seen.
This place is a hidden gem. Owned and operated by some lovely authentic owners, the food is exotic, colorful, and yummy. The best deal you can find these days on Pad(anything). I almost didn't include the lunch buffet bargain.(because I want to keep it on the downlow) Thai Come Soon!!!! It echoes in my head and I salivate thinking about the next time I get go eat some evil jungle chicken.
Eat here every Tuesday. Hella great place with hella great service, hella great food.
Awesome flavors, and buffet is awesome and affordable.
Some of the best food around. Really good prices. Huge portions.
Best Thai takeout on the East side! It's a family favorite. General chicken is A+
Loved the pad thai!
My family had been eating here (actually started at the Lindsey location) for 15 years and I can honestly say I am never disappointed!!!! My daughter now goes to
OU and this is her favorite Thai restaurant.
Delicious always get the buffet
Amazing. Everything I could have wanted and more, will post pics soon. Tipped 100% of my bill, asked for an item not on the menu, and they made it for me. Will return.
Wonderful food and staff!
I freaking love this place!! The quality of food is always *exactly* the same. I order it, it's always just as amazing as it was the last time. Food portions are enormous, 3 people can eat one plate easy. Very decently priced, 3 of us can eat for about $20. Staff is very nice, they remember us and joke around with my son and try and feed him sweets.
Excellent buffet
This place is really good! Their food had really good flavor and was the perfect temperature. The chicken satay was an amazing appetizer we also got the Po-Tak soup that had the perfect temperature and the other one we got was the PIneapple curry which i hightly recommend as well.Their rice was also on point! Some of the best Thai food i have ever ate.
Delicious and healthy food, excellent price, super friendly staff. The best Thai
