Diner Review №1

Updated: spoke to the owner. He was very understanding and accommodating. He explained that the saltines was from the fish sauce that they’re using, and that may differ from my usual palate. He also offered a substitute and I picked Honey Chicken which is the popular item here. The honey chicken was very delicious and definitely worth coming back for.

First time trying out food at Kapow and I ordered Drunken Noodles as recommended by the cashier (for $14, it doesn’t come with any protein, just a little bit of veggies). All I can taste is salt, not even the spiciness or other spices.

Diner Review №2

Excellent hidden gem in the farmers market. Great food , service and people . highly recommended.

Diner Review №3

Honey Chicken/rice is really fire!🔥

Diner Review №4

Kapow is the best! The Chef greets you with a smile every time! By far the best Thai we've had. It's worth the 1 hour and 15 minutes drive.

Diner Review №5

Food was absolutely amazing!

Diner Review №6

Amazing food and people. Kapow roll is unbelievable packed with flavor. The kpop tacos are game changing. If you like heat they can make it real hot. A destination spot for sure.

My burger had a white substance in it I did not order, best meal ive ever had.

Diner Review №9

My first time ever eating Thai food I had Pad Thai n my protein was chicken n it was awesome. The young lady that took my order was very professional and answered all my questions. I will definitely be back

Diner Review №10

Heard great things about their food and decided to give it a try and was not disappointed! I love Pad Thai. Ordered Pad Thai with chicken and it was fantastic! Hopefully their other dishes are just as good. Will definitely go back!

Diner Review №11

Best food in booth’s corner hands down… amazing staff amazing food!

Diner Review №12

Food truck experience! Super cute, clean and attractive food truck. Delicious food!! Had the teriyaki bowl, general chicken and lo mein and the HUGE full of flavor kapow roll !! And the hawaiian tea is a MUST

Diner Review №13

Got food from their food truck and it was disappointing. I got the general kapow chicken lo mein bowl. The chicken tasted good. They were like chicken nuggets tossed in a sauce. The lo mein was the most disappointing part, it was plain boiled noodles with a layer of the general tso sauce placed on top. I wouldn't call this lo mein.

Diner Review №14

The food is amazing & delicious. I stop by every other week. Chef Wit is a great guy

Diner Review №17

Finally found some amazing Thai food in our area!! This is authentic Thai food can’t wait to go back

Diner Review №18

Food was delicious as always. Shrimp fried rice, Honey Chicken, dumplings, crab wontons, the soups.... you can't go wrong with whatever they have. Brought friends from out of town... everyone loved their food.

Diner Review №19

One of my favorite places to get food, good prices and even better food

Diner Review №20

For how small this little food spot tucked away in a corner, everything was great food is delicious and service was delightful 😊 can’t wait to come back

Diner Review №21

We purchased 3 Kopow rolls. They were delicious. They are on the bottom level of Booth Corners. Will definitely be back. A must-have.

Diner Review №22

Just got a few things today to try this place. Got the vegetable spring rolls and shrimp dumplings. The spring rolls tasted like and looked like an chopped up onion. Not good. Dumplings also had an odd flavor and were not good. Was really looking forward to a good spring roll. Disappointed

Diner Review №23

Diner Review №24

Diner Review №25

Usually, my food is fantastic but not so much today. The curry was absent of most vegetables. Luckily, the curry itself was delicious as always. I think the cook was new as I went at the end of the day. However, I loved the dumpling soup!!

Diner Review №26

Update/response to owner: 1. I didnt compare it to jalapeños. I cited several examples of food I like which have heat. Second, I don't care if it's a sauce, powder, or voodoo. The heat was very uneven. That "take it or leave it" would be understandable if your slop was halfway decent. You cant read, cook, and have a poor attitude. Good luck with life.

Original review, unedited:

We had pad thai with 2/5 heat level and lemon grass and pho at 4/5. First, the noodles weren't even in heat. One bite would be ok and another extremely hot. This is per the guy who wanted 4/5 for the soups, and the lady who wanted 2/5 couldn't even eat her lunch. Even I thought parts of it was way too hot. Neither soups had any meat. I would chalk that up to "forgot" but...see my last sentence in my review.

The lemongrass soup was fine at 4/5 but the pho was extremely hot...not edible. I'm used to jalapeños in pho, authentic spicy Indian food and hot salsas from Mexican food. I'm no stranger to heat, but this was absurd. This to me seemed like either carelessness or poor quality control. Call it what you want, I won't be back. We love Thai food, even when it's greasy as it can be, but no thanks. Looking at all the childish, petty replies to negative reviews the owner shamelessly spews, its a wonder even in this culinary desert how he makes a profit.

Diner Review №28

LOVE LOVE it. Got the Sunset tacos and the pineapple iced tea. Shrimp cooked perfectly, the coleslaw gave just the perfect crunch to the tacos. Food truck Wednesday at Rodney Sq are now my favorite days at the office.

Diner Review №29

The Kapow roll was fabulous. Sadly, they were out of all of their teas.

Diner Review №30

Been going here for years !!
Always awesome!!
Get some of that pineapple tea !!
Level 1 for me

Diner Review №31

I'm here for the first time today. The atmosphere and service were great. A very nice Pacific islander vibe to it. I ordered Pad Thai and a Kapow Roll. The roll was very tasty, loaded with flavors, and HUGE! As for the Pad Thai, It was pretty dry but the flavors were there. The Pad Thai being dry kind of made my rating drop from 5 to 4. If the noodles weren't so dry, this would be my go to place.

Diner Review №32

One of my favorite places!

Diner Review №33

Food was good. Service was ok.

Diner Review №34

Fresh, flavorful and delicious! Good portions for the price and the menu has a lot of variety. Interesting fusion of Thai and Hawaiian, unique compared to other Asian restaurants in the area. A whole bubble tea menu also which is cool. The owner chef is friendly and has great customer service. Definitely my go to place on the weekends for a good, quick dinner!

Diner Review №35

Food is excellent. Service is great. Be careful of which spice level you order because it gets insanely hot. Definitely a favourite of mine.

Diner Review №36

Diner Review №37

Diner Review №38

Food was amazing. When you ask for spicy, it is spicy!

Diner Review №39

Diner Review №40

Awesome food and the workers/owner are very cool. Nice different level of spices too!

Diner Review №41

Overpriced for rice and noodle. Order a pho with extra noodle for 3 dollars extra, not enough for my 8 years old daughter, thats how small the portion are. Have a rice bowl, then the rice have to go into the bowl, we just really dont like the rice soak all the sauce, we ask the rice on the side, but they cant do it. Ordered a 3 dollars extra rice which sound expensive to me for a take out place, the amount 3 dollars buy you is around 2 oz. A normal person will need 6 dollars of rice to be enough. I guess their rice and noodle are made from rare earth.

Diner Review №42

The food is amazing. I’m just mad I have to wait for the weekend to eat here. Do you have any other locations?

Diner Review №43

Just ate here with my friend. I had ordered the Teriyaki Noodles with shrimp and a heat level of Habenaro. I really enjoyed the flavor of Teriyaki mix with spice. My friend had the Duck tacos which were great. The duck was cooked tenderly and juicy. On top of all these we also ordered the Thai Guy Wings and was amazed by the size of the wings. Extremely juicy and I ended up burning my mouth cause they were fresh but I continued chowing down. To wash down all this food we recommend the pineapple Tea.

Diner Review №44

I ordered panang curry bowl. The bowl doesn't have much veggie and meat so it look watery like soup. The taste are just plain. The spiciness are just right the way you order it. Rice are okay.

Diner Review №45

Man!! Everything they make is delicious! You can't go wrong with a good meal here at all and the nice sized portions #deliciousfood #Thaifood

Diner Review №46

Kapow Kitchen is a new favorite of mine. I have come here twice so far and both times, I was extremely impressed. I got the Honey Chicken with a spice level of 5 and it was incredible. The vegetable spring rolls are also delicious! And the service is outstanding. Everyone there is so kind. I highly recommend this place!

Diner Review №47

Diner Review №48

Diner Review №49

One of our favorites. We order from Kapow probably 2-3 times per month and it’s always excellent.

Diner Review №50

Everything I’ve gotten at Kapow has been awesome. The Pad Thai is some of the best I’ve found in Delaware. The wings are killers. I’d highly recommend them to anyone looking for good Thai food

Diner Review №51

We waited 40 minutes for 3 drinks ($15.00). We didn’t even order food.
Their boba is also not your typical milk tea boba, it’s just flavored milk, it was alittle odd.
Edit: You’re obnoxious response will do more damage to your business then anything I could ever post. A reasonable, concerned business owner would just ask vs. calling people names. This isn’t middle school, but ok. It’s actually hilarious that you think anyone owes you anything!! Lol!!
Boba is most definitely made with milk and Tea. I don’t know how you can sell a item and not know how to make it?? so you’re welcome

Diner Review №52

Kapow is definitely one of the more expensive food vendors in Booth's Corner, but they do not disappoint! This is about a half hour from my home, and I would make the trip for this next time there is a craving for Asian fusion. Fresh food and great flavor! The heat index makes it easy to choose even though my partner wishes they could go even spicier. Also, love the tea selection and the fact that they have popping bobba which is much better than traditional tapioca in my opinion.
Do not forget to look to your left while at the register for the day's specials.

Next time, I will eat in and play some TMNT to get the full experience!

Diner Review №53

Diner Review №54

Delicious pan-Asian food specializing in Thai.

Their Tom Yum soup is amazing, do NOT miss it! They have lots of vegetarian options and can really turn up the heat if you want spicy food, or they can prepare it with very little kick if that's not your thing. Their awesome Thai iced tea is great for walking around the farmers market with.

You can sit at the bar and watch some cool TV shows and movies while you eat, and they have a great separate space with video games and more seating. It's great for playing card games or reading comics you picked up from EE Comics and Games just a few steps away around the corner.

I met them first at their lunch truck that worked at a local food truck festival. The owner is so friendly and loves to talk about comics, movies, TV, sports, games, or anything. If you have any problems with your order, they always want to make things right.

Diner Review №57

Diner Review №58

Love stopping here when we go to Booth's Corner. Fresh, inventive and delicious.

Diner Review №59

Overly pricey and they serve the same food the Chinese store serve. This place needs a kapow 👊

Diner Review №60

I had the fried rice with chicken, horrible, it was very dry and seems like burned. Not a good flavor. I also had the kapow roll, and it was soaking wet, i understand is fried… but still, this was too much…seems that they don’t change their oil often, the smell or the roll was not good. I did not finish the food. The quantity is enough for 2 people, but the quality of the food is pretty bad.
Judge for the pics, but you will not be pleased eating here.

Diner Review №61

Diner Review №62

I am obsessed with Kapow Kitchen. My boyfriend and I come here almost every weekend since we discovered it 😂 It’s downstairs on the lower level, so don’t miss it. They have tons of vegetarian options, and they really don’t mess around when it comes to spice. I usually order the drunken noodles, but this time I switched it up and ordered the Seoul Bowl (pictured). The staff is so friendly and welcoming. I would definitely recommend going out of your way to give it a try.

Diner Review №63

Diner Review №64

Good food.

Diner Review №65

Very friendly and great food

Diner Review №66

Decent food for decent price. Tofu and chicken were a tad overdone but rice and noodles were good.

Diner Review №67

First time eating there. I had the panang curry bowl with chicken and kapow roll. It was amazing. It had me to the point where I wanted to go streaking!! I will definitely eat there again!! I’ll make sure I layer up incase I get that urge again to streak.

The best food I have ever had. I have never ordered something that I did not love. Also thw owner/head cheif is an awesome guy. Super friendly and good food.

Diner Review №72

Super Awesome cuisine! I was hooked from my first order. Chef Wit and the entire staff is great.

Diner Review №73

Yummy food and drinks

Diner Review №74

The meal which consisted of a Kapow Roll, drunken noodles and a vietnamese iced coffee was top notch as usual. ❤️

Diner Review №75

Diner Review №76

The experience with the owner/staff is always good. The kapow rolls are a consistent hit. not sure if it’s bc we got two double orders, but the chicken in the honey chicken for both orders was cooked way too hard in the over cooked way. the noodles for the pad see ew were way too soft in the over cooked way. both had flavor, so it was frustrating to not finish. i think there were just rushing, but if i drove 30 minutes to spend 60+ that’s no excuse. a lot of potential with this place!

Diner Review №77

Wit, your food is outstanding! So is your humor!

Diner Review №78

Diner Review №79

Awesome food really flavorful....My first time there the other day I ordered a kapaw roll an they forgot the sauce but it was still good, I got a noodle dish was amazing.. I will be back for sure.

Best Thai food around!!!!

Diner Review №83

The food here is amazing. I have been getting Thai food from Chef Wit for many years, at the Wilmington Market, Ubon, and Kapow Kitchen. I have been getting food here once a week since having to WFH last year in March. Everything is great, I am working on trying everything on the menu, and can say everything is terrific. Some of my favorites are Seoul, Huli Huli, and the Drunken Noodle. The Kimchi is the best! Seriously the best!

Diner Review №84

This was my first time here and I got the Huli Huli bowl.

This was some of the best stir fry I've had. Good prices, good portions. Only thing lacking is the atmosphere but that's hard to help with it being in a farmer's market.

Will absolutely be back and 💯% recommend.

Diner Review №85

Consistently amazing food! Fresh, prepared with love!

Great fresh and delicious dishes served here, usually with a smile and good conversation from the owner! I highly recommend this spot if you happen to be hungry and in Booths Corner. They also have a food truck which I have yet to try, but I've heard great things about as well.

Diner Review №142

Diner Review №143

One of the places to visit at Booth's Corner

Diner Review №147

Their food is excellent great value for the money and you get more than enough for two meals and every meal

Diner Review №148

Diner Review №149

The food was very tasty and fresh. Thai with a touch of Hawaiian is a terrific combo. The owner is very friendly and the waitress gave us very good service. One thing-the beverage prices were exorbitant. $3.50 for a small iced tea ($5 for a medium!) and $2 for a bottle of water is asking too much. So stay for the food, bring your own beverage. There are plenty of much less expensive options at the farmer's market.

Diner Review №150

Diner Review №151

Great food. Service.

Diner Review №152

Delicious! The owner is very personable and very proud of the food he makes. Before you choose your heat level read the sign very carefully! I highly recommend this place.

Diner Review №153

It's hard to find food spicy enough to make the snot run down my face and eyes tear up so yeah I love this place I've also been coming to Booth's corners help my whole life

Diner Review №154

Diner Review №155

Diner Review №156

Very nice

Diner Review №157

Diner Review №158

I love going here every weekend! Chef Wit truly loves what he’s doing and shows that in the quality of the food. The Pad Thai, Pad See Ew, and Pad Khi Mao “drunken noodles” are all amazing noodle entrees that I recommend to anyone trying Kapow Kitchen for the first time.

I also recommend getting the kapow roll because it’s probably the best type of “egg roll” that I’ve had. I’ve also had the honey chicken which was cooked to perfection and just made me want more and more.

You can choice your level of spice so if you like spicy food this place is a must and even if you don’t like spicy food you can opt for no spice and all that delicious taste is still there!

If you have never been to Kapow Kitchen I recommend you go! You will not be disappointed!

Diner Review №159

The food is amazing authentic thai, if you want it spicy you will get it, vegan options,they use quality ingredients spices and fresh herbs chef Wit is very friendly and welcoming as well as talented if you are a fan of ubon thai you will love it here

Diner Review №165

Amazing food, amazing service!!!! My coworkers and I have a Kapow Friday ritual. We come here once a week and look forward to it. The food is phenomenal! It makes it hard for me to be able to enjoy Thai food anywhere else now, LOL. Jody and Wit are amazing people and are part of the experience. You will not be let down! They have a food truck that runs during the summer as well which I have not been able to check out but I hear great things about it too.

Kapow Kitchen is expanding too!! They now have a meal prep area for "Kapow Fit" (healthy to go or make it home meals),a dessert bar and they are Open during the week for carry out!!

Getting better all the time! Check then out on Facebook for the latest menus and for the food truck locations!

Diner Review №166

Customer service is great!!!! Awesome atmosphere!!!! FOOD IS "OUT FREAKING STANDING"

Diner Review №167

I was there last Friday with my Thai friend who also cooks . Hands down the Best Thai food around . We had about 6 things on the menu and everything was Super Tasty !! We also loved the upbeat atmosphere and the Owners are very nice people ! I wish it was open every day ! We are going again this weekend !!!👍👍👍👍🤗

Diner Review №168

I came here recently and ordered the Panang curry with shrimp, a Kapow roll, and a Thai iced tea as takeout. While the food certainly wasn't bad (far from it), I didn't think it was anything special, as I have had much better Thai food elsewhere. Personally, I thought that the flavors of the curry could've been a little better developed, and when I got home to eat the food I actually added a few more spices to it. Also, compared to most of the other vendors at the farmers market, it seemed a little bit pricy. In the future, I still wouldn't rule out coming again (it's possible that this was just an off night), but I'd be a little more hesitant.

Diner Review №169

Diner Review №170

I have only had food from the Kapow truck and it was always delicious! I will be stopping in the restaurant soon.

Diner Review №171

Diner Review №172

Kapow Kitchen is a favorite for many locals. If you're looking for a relaxed atmosphere, good prices, and exquisite food - Kapow should be your choice. It's on the lower level of a farmers market, so it's only open on the weekends, but planning an afternoon/evening meal then wandering the wares in the farmers market is a family friendly activity. Servings are generous enough, I've always gotten a second meal out of anything I order.
