Don’t let the humble location dissuade you. This is excellent, fresh Thai cuisine made with care and beautifully plated. The veggies in the red curry (ordered with beef) were very fresh and the Pad Thai was top notch. Both dishes excellent. Reasonable prices. We were just passing through after a day at the Canyon and really glad this was the Thai place we chose at which to stop!
It was our first time here, we enjoyed the service and the food. They only have bottled water. And only one free refill on the sweet tea. The golden purses were pretty good (it was my first time). The fried dumplings were very yummy with the soy sauce. My son enjoyed the chicken fried rice (no veggies) and I had the seafood (shrimp, scallops and fish) yellow curry (this one comes with (pineapple) it was good although not really spicy. The Thai tea was tasty!
I ordered takeout & it was delicious! staff was super friendly when I came in to get my order. I had the veggie & tofu red curry and the veggie delight sushi roll. no complaints!
King and I is one of my go-to places for lunch and dinner in Canyon. And how odd that a town of 15,000 has four Asian eateries! I am calling that a blessing in disguise, because I just love Asian food.
This one is a true Mom and Pop operation, and sometimes with the help of a young woman to run table service. I give high praise to the two owners for their steadfast commitment to being open and serving excellent fare. You don’t get rich doing this.
Tonight, Youngest Daughter had the Spider Roll sushi, which included crab meat, avocado, asparagus, and two kinds of tuna. The serving size was more than adequate, and she brought half of it home for tomorrow's lunch.
I had one of my two faves, this time the Tofu Pad Thai. This is my comfort food. Noodles, carrots, broccoli, tofu, peanuts, and a few other ingredients come together with the perfect heat-rendering spices to make for an explosion of flavor. And typically, that explosion results in a Level 1 response to Thai heat, which is a runny nose. Napkin, please.
Prices are very fair (we both ate for about $24), and you cannot leave hungry. Come here enough times, and they already have a good idea what you will order. We may not be able to communicate much in English, but food is the universal language, and I love what they're saying with each dish served.
We’ve visited here several times and always enjoyed the food. The King and I seems to be a family run concern and they are always courteous and friendly. This restaurant is not the easiest to find and does not have a clearly marked parking area. BUT if you’re nearby it is well worth the effort to find it.
We came here for dinner after our hike at Palo Duro.
The food was very good. We got chicken pad Thai and Indonesian fried rice. I would highly recommend this restaurant. Service was excellent and our food came out quickly.
Best Thai in town!!!
Amazing variety of food and good service! I come for the quality of food, so It’s worth the wait and price.
Recommend the Thai Noodle Soup, House Duck, and Indonesian Fried Rice (all pictured below). Also the Chili Fish (no pic). If you want to add spice sprinkle on the chili oil. To finish it off, mango sticky rice for desert (pictured).

Old food served as if it were fresh. No flavor
Very good food and great prices

A wonderful Thai restaurant. The food was flavorful and fresh. Reasonably priced too.
The mango sticky rice was terrific!! SO YUM
A hidden gem. This place has the best-flavored Thai dishes and seeing them from the most unsuspecting location. We are from Houston, which is arguably one of the Asian food capitals of the states - I can confidently say that The King and I would hold their ground in Houston.
I just wanted chicken fried rice and it was amazing. Enough for two meals, which I ate and then ordered the whole thing over again two days later. While it doesn’t speak well of my creativity this should represent a heck of a reference for their fried rice.
Solid place to get some great food.
Never disappoints!! Favorite spot in the in for sushi 🤩🤩
The food was DELICIOUS! Highly highly recommend. We were hungry and stopped since it was nearby and we did not regret it. We ordered several items off the menu and my husbands most favorite was the hot & sour soup. Best he’s ever had! Definitely marking to save this place for future stops!
If you haven't been to King and I in Canyon y'all are missing out 🤤🤤I give a 10/10 everything was so fresh and all had amazing flavors this is probably our new favorite spot... Our server Lauren was amazing and sweet as could be and if you had any questions on the menu she could tell you what you needed to know 🤤😍🤤
When it's good, it's good,... other times. But honestly, the crispy chkn pad thai is perfect.
the sushi is good but every time I order from here I have to drench the rice in sauce bc it's usually kinda dry(in my opinion) and the meats could use more flavor/seasoning. still a good experience
I have gone back every day while in town. The Mexican sushi role is good. (More rice than stuffing) The egg roles tend to be overcooked. The Ramen soup was delicious. The lo mein was the Ramen soup without broth. Same noodles.
The food and customer service are awesome 👏
I always order the pad Thai and the papaya salad 😋
Every dish was fresh & delicious plus the staff was very welcoming and pleasant. Wonderful eatery worth dining in or taking out again and again! 10 out of 10!
For the people who wrote 1 star they're wrong because it good
We come to Canyon to visit my son who attends WT. My son said he wanted Chinese. We google searched and found King and I with great reviews. We were very pleased. The service was fast and the food was amazing! We will be back!
Our family loves Thai food. We didnt see this restaurant listed on google when I searched for Thai food. We went to another restaurant listed and left because the business hours listed online were wrong but luckily a very kind woman waiting on a take out order at that restaurant suggested we go to The King and I because they are open a bit later. I am so glad she did. The food was phenomenal. The service and the staff were exceptional and so warm and welcoming. We had a sampler appetizer, 2 sushi rolls, i had a bowl of phò, my husband had a fried rice entree, my kids had teriaki chicken, pad thai and pad mee. The menu is gigantic. Everything was delicious and cooked perfectly. The prices were so reasonable too. I couldnt believe how much food we got for around $110. Definitely impressed. We will be returning!
It was not very busy when we went, it was around 8pm though so i could understand, but i would really love if more people could support this business and keep it here forever! Very blessed to have this restaurant so close to home!
This is my favorite place. Hands down everything is good.
This is a sleeper, you will totally enjoy the best sushi in the Texas Panhandle. Once you walk in you will be surprised with the atmosphere. And then the professionalism in assembling your delectable sushi dish. Enjoy!!
Always good food and service! Pick anything on the menu and it will be made fresh in the restaurant on the spot when you order it.

Very delicious, flavorful, and serving. This is not a Japanese restaurant, it’s mainly Thai with Asian varieties and sushi. So I felt fraud when I arrived here wanting Japanese. No chicken katsu etc.
They do not honor military discount.
How do they stay in business?
Uncrowded, great service, delicious food, affordable. What more could you want?
My new favorite Asian food restaurant. Out of the way, but worth it!
Enjoyed a nice meal. It was quiet so easy to visit. Loved the Mango sticky rice.
The food was really good here. I got the green curry the flavor was awesome but for me there was no heat to it. My mother-in-law ordered the weeping tiger and that did have a nice amount of heat and was very flavorful. Will definitely be going back the next time we are in Canyon.
The food that we ordered was all wonderful and came very fast after we ordered it.
Great food and reasonable prices, $10 to $15 per person.
This feels like an expensive place, but it's not. Perfect if you are low income and want to experience that! Always empty when we go! Delicious food and great service! More people need to go here!
Great service! It’s sushi in the Texas panhandle, but still excellent food!
not very tasty. and very expensive.
Absolutely love the sushi!!
The sushi was absolutely amazing, everything tasted fresh all the vegetables had a nice crunch. The fried rice portions were huge!

Great service. Great prices. Great food!!!! Highly recommend
We really enjoy ordering from here. They have always gotten our order correct, and it’s very good.
Great food; happy this exists in Canyon!
I’ve been enjoying The King and I for over 10 years. Always loved their sushi, amazing Pad Thai, wonton soup, and the list goes on. Great people own it too!
So far this has been the best Thai in the Canyon, Texas area. They were quite busy both with dine in and take out which is always a good sign. They had two of my favs Weeping Tiger salad and Panang Curry and they were great so as Arnold says, "I'll be back"
Best suchi and Pad Thai
On my first visit to "The King and I", I ordered the Pad Thai (for takeout). An excellent choice - at a great price - and very delicious. Sydney (hopefully I got that spelling correct) - provides excellent customer service - and I was able to observe her speed & efficiency in handling multiple existing customers - and taking care of multiple new customers that arrived while I waited for my order.
Mala experiencia, fuimos por recommendation y fue una desilusión. Ordenados varios rollos, caldo y otros platillos para probar todo y en general les falto sabor a todo. El servicio lento pues no tenían meseras pero aún así éramos los únicos ese día. El arroz duro y mal hechos los rollos. No volvemos.
Bad experience, we went on recommendation and it was a disappointment. Ordered several rolls, broth and other dishes to try everything and in general everything lacked flavor. The slow service because they did not have waitresses but even so we were the only ones that day. Hard rice and poorly made rolls. We don't come back.
This place is the best! I van call in an order and with in 15-20 minutes it’s is ready.
Did not meet my expectations.
Excellent food! Friendly quite atmosphere. Loved it! The Canyon roll 👌
This was the second time here. The food has been good both times but it seems they don't have a lunch menu. That means the portions are very large but it is a bit pricey for lunch.
Wonderful. The rice wasn’t dried out. Veggies were fresh. Sushi was fresh and very flavorful. Service was great and very clean restaurant as well. Best Japanese food I’ve had in the area (canyon and Amarillo) and it’s not even close.
Be very careful what you order. I ordered Salmonroll like I do at every Japanese restaurant and they have me fried salmon. The worst is when I called to get my money back and he said they're not going to give my money back and I said it's not the way it's made at Japanese restaurant and they said they're not a Japanese restaurant. The guy dust even take the time to look up receipt or help.
Why is this listed as Japanese restaurant then? I will be disputing this with my bank.
Love their fresh spring roll - it got all the herbs we were looking for - unlike some other thai places that only puts lettuce as the vegetable. Will definitely come back!
Amazing food with great customer service
The food is typically pretty good, some days better than others of course. My complaint is how cheap the owners are. They give you canned sodas and Sams club bottled waters, no ice, no free refills and tea with very small glasses crammed with ice and you get 1 free refill. Went in this evening and spent $65 on our meal for 3. We asked the waitress if we could get some glasses of ice for our bottled water, she said, “Can I say no? Our owner wants to keep the dish count down because we are a small crew.” Haven’t particularly cared for that waitress as we have had her often. She typically wears hand covers which seems so unsanitary, didn’t today for the first time we have seen. The other waitress and waiter they have are normally pretty good. Would love to love this place but it’s hard when you spend good money for them to cut corners on things as simple as washing a couple of glasses.
Best Thai in town!!!

Food is very good, friendly service.
Didn't order they only had 1 person helping the guests it is small and the decor is very out dated
Excelente atención!! La mesera muy atenta y súper amable, la comida bien servida y en sabor no se diga !!
It was our first time here, we enjoyed the service and the food. They only have bottled water. And only one free refill on the sweet tea. The golden purses were pretty good (it was my first time). The fried dumplings were very yummy with the soy sauce. My son enjoyed the chicken fried rice (no veggies) and I had the seafood (shrimp, scallops and fish) yellow curry (this one comes with (pineapple) it was good although not really spicy. The Thai tea was tasty!
Food was okay, but seeing bottled water is sad. Wearing gloves and touching everything and not changing them is uncleanness.
This restaurant, the food and service is always fantastic!
Great food, nice service, thanks for the excellent dinner!
I went to the King and I once before and had an okay experience, good food but terrible service. Today I went and found pieces of plastic in my sushi and when I told the waitress she acted like it was completely normal to have plastic in the food. She was unable to communicate with me, which made for an unpleasant experience.... and I will be very reluctant to return again with this kind of service.
Thai was amazing!! Would maybe pass on the sushi
We the worst experience I've ever had in a take out order. Took an hour and a half to get 2 vegetable fried rice with a side of chicken. Also very overpriced after waiting that long I payed $39 for the 2 very small portions that I got. Not to mention the amount of people returning with wrong orders or that they left something out. This was my first time here and will never go back. To get a better picture of how busy they were, there only had people at 3 tables they were serving that night so there is no excuse for such horrible service.
This is the worst restaurant in town! I ordered sticky rice and asked for sauce with it but forced me to pay a dollar for two sauces. The owners service was very rude and the food was cold and hard. Very upset!
The food is always good here.
Delicious sushi! Quick service!
Best sushi I've ever had!
Great food, the service is slow, not a place to go if you're in a hurry, but the food is worth the wait.
We enjoyed the food a lot! I'll probably never be back in town again, but if I was, I'd eat here for sure!
I didnt know they had munudo EVERYDAY!!! #55 Was great tho
Excellent food, great service.
This was my first time coming and I was pleasantly surprised! I’ve never liked sushi and today I loved it! The servings are big and they are priced well. Definitely coming back!!
Amazing as always, they have a new crispy chicken basil entree and it was really good and a little spicy.
Best sushi I have ever had and I've been all over the world. The staff is great and I am always pleased when I eat there.
Great sushi and service! Quiet and quaint 💜 great date spot
Horrible wait staff food was terrible saw waitress only when she brought food only one other table besides us
Great food and service. Lauren rocks!
Service... Spot on!
Food....... Spot on!
Price....... Spot on!
Spicy Mustard...none:(
Fast, fresh and absolutely delicious. The owner is the sweetest person, I can tell he genuinely loves what he does.
Love the Thai tea.
Very pleasant nice staff good food
Best sushi ever. I don't go anywhere else for my sushi. Thanks King and I.
Food was average. The Mexican roll was the most exciting thing we had while we were there. Great presentation and service was decent.
Tasty and great service! We had the spider rolls, Mexican rolls, and buffalo balls. All were great. My favorite were the Mexican rolls!
Lived in Canyon 8 years and never been here, finally decided to give it a whirl, if you like a place thats super quiet and peaceful this is it. The staff seems pretty good, a tad slow for service but maybe they arent used to a lot of folks there. I ordered some different sushi plates and will say it was very surprising how good it was and the presentation on the plate was very nice. I also tried the tofu soup and was pleasantly surprised how good it was.. Overall i was happy the the experience. Give them a try if you like to try new things and Thai Food
Sushi here is spot on.
I was expecting this place to hit the mark, based on friend recommendations and online reviews. It was just ok. Sorry. Nice people.
Veg soup was so good, excellent service..
Found this place while on a road trip. Not gonna lie, by it's outer appearance I was expecting much. But after receiving our meal...Wow! This place blew us away. Their sushi is fresh and hand rolled, I had the tamarind duck which was delicious! Would definitely recommend!
I liked the sweet and sour chicken but I ordered pork but hey white meat either way, right? Other than that it was good food
As usual we had a lovely experience at The King and I. The food was fresh and tasted wonderful.
The food was good. We ordered a lot of things including chicken fried rice and chicken tom yum soup. But, after eating, I had an allergy attack, which is due to my allergy to sea foods. So, before you order, just check with them if they use any oyester oil/sea food parts in their food, if you have any specific allergy. Nevertheless, good service and they were supportive after I talked to them about the allergy issue.
Loved the food. Delivered a huge order in an hour. Let them know if you have any seafood allergies. One of our friends got sick, but we were not aware that they use fish/lobster oil in chinese fried rice
Very Good customer service and great food I would recommend that every one in Canyon TX try this place!!!!!!
I personally love this place, my husband and I go to it for our date day alot and it's comfortable and very cute, the food is pretty awesome and the service is also very good, We will be back for sure I love it! I wish it had family meals, we would probably eat there almost every night lol.
Great food and great owners.
Food is always good and fresh which staff is very attentive one of my family's favorite restaurants in the canyon Amarillo area.
We enjoyed a variety of delicious foods when we got take out. My order was complete and correct. The yellow curry with pineapple was unusual but amazing. It's my new favorite!!
The staff is super friendly. We walked to eat here and the waitress was kind enough to bring us extra water because it was pretty toasty. The food was good too
Passing through Canyon to head back to Colorado. My partner and I went to The King and I and absolutely loved it. Due to COVID-19 we had to get take out and the service was extremely quick! Extremely delicious for the price as well!! $30 for pineapple fried rice, wonton, and TWO sushi rolls :) Will be our go to when we pass through Canyon from now!
Best sushi in the Canyon/Amarillo area! They also have wonderful dishes and appetizers. You can get full and it’s reasonably priced. Great couple that cooks and makes everything themself! Won’t be disappointed!
We drive 45 min for the singular purpose of ordering to go here. The customer service is amazing !!!! They are always super polite when calling in an order. The food is delicious my husband is from California and he can never find good sushi till we found this little hidden gem. It is in a fairly odd place and tucked off the road very quaint. Worth every penny.
They have never let me down. The sushi is very good. The staff is always kind when we order.
Delicious, very nice service.
I enjoy going here. Usually very quick to get in, have never had to wait to be seated. Sushi is always great. I usually have whatever the special is or something suggested by the staff. Non-sushi items are prepared well also and always delicious.
Had to give a star to even right a review. My girlfriend has a peanut allergy and she told them no peanuts, it is even on the ticket. I guess they don’t understand the concept of cross contamination. YOU HAVE TO USE EQUIPMENT THAT HAS NOT TOUCHED PEANUTS. She is now in the hospital for a severe allergic reaction. Will never return to a place that cares so little about the needs of their customers especially in a trying time like we are in now with the pandemic we are faced with. Such careless can result in pain or even death. Shame on you.
Excellent, worth the drive from Plainview
They are always so nice and have the best asian food in Canyon.
Great sushi! I love sushi and this is the best place to find it in Canyon.
I love this place! The sushi is awesome! And the owners are super sweet!
This Place is WONDERFUL! GREAT FOOD! GREAT SERVICE! CLEAN AND FREINDLY!
Great sushi. I love the spicy tuna roll.
Clean clean clean! Awesome food and service
You guys are the best!
Not a bad sushi place in canyon
Excellent Thai and sushi. Friendly and polite.
I love this place!!
Delicious sushi and noodles with a huge menu. The customer service was also phenomenal. I highly recommend King and I.
Great service and amazing food
Comida muito saborosa!
Awesome food in a friendly atmosphere. Definitely
our number choice for Thai and Sushi.
Very good food and cheap.
The Beef Phad Thai is scrumptious . Their sushi rolls are wonderful.
I asked for vegan eel sauce, and we talked about it for about 5 minutes and made a big deal about it, they said they would give me some, THEY NEVER BROUGHT IT OUT!
It's good food just my yellow curry chicken was a little watery than what I like
Great sushi
This is a great place to eat
I thought the food and the service was great.The restaurant is clean and the prices are reasonable.I was pleasantly surprised to see good Asian food in Canyon,Texas.
Great service, food, and service. The best sushi I've had in the area. Everything else was excellent as well.
I absolutely love this place. It may look run down and dilapidated on the outside but once you walk in it becomes a cute little restaurant with amazing food. Their lemonade is some of the best lemonade I've ever tasted. Fresh and tart and sweet just like my grandmother used to make. I'm forever ordering their dragon roll sushi to go whenever I need a quick and delicious lunch.
Do you like authentic Thai? Do you love sushi? Do you enjoy Mom and Pop restaurants! Then this place is a must drive from I27 or Amarillo! Fantastic sushi! Authentic Som tum (green papaya) salad that is delicious! I have NEVER been disappointed here! I learn something new from Ohm the owner every time! Nice family..incredible food. Pleasant surprise tucked in next to the railroad tracks by downtown Canyon.
Good food and many choices on the menu. Don't be deterred by the outside of the building! It's what is on the inside that counts!
I was very happy and surprised at how delicious everything was! I recently moved back to the Panhandle after living in Dallas for 23 years. I had gotten quite used to a certain level of sushi and have been missing it for sure! Imagine my surprise and delight with the King and I. Taste, freshness, presentation and service were outstanding. I will be back!
