Khao Thai Cuisine

Englewood's Main Street isn't short of restaurants and eateries. Tons of cuisines are represented on this short set of blocks, and there's a good selection of chains and small businesses. But when it comes to Thai food, there's just two, and Khao Thai is one of them. Inside, the space is fairly large but it's kept relatively quiet and intimate with lots of two-tops. Our crispy calamari appetizer was a bit of a letdown. While hot and crispy, they seemed to have been breaded and fried as clumps. Even the accompanying sweet chili sauce couldn't mask that tough, rubbery texture. Entrees fared just a little better. My pad see ew was a little bland but perked up with some chili sauce dribbled over the plate by the spoonful. I chose beef as my protein and while there weren't a ton of beef pieces

This restaurant used to be reliable, but my recent visit was disappointing. I hadn’t been here in a few months and decided to order takeout. The person on the phone told me it would be ready in 25 minutes. When I arrived right on time, I still had to wait another 20 minutes—45 minutes total for lunch takeout, despite only two tables being occupied in the dining room. The food was even worse. The Pad Thai was bland and completely lacking flavor; I had to drown it in sriracha just to make it edible. Sadly, the quality has gone downhill, and I won’t be returning.

Have been coming here for several years. Close to ten, if memory serves. Unfortunately I've been really let down my last 3 visits. Normally (before) the rice container was packed for my take out, as I've always been for lunch time. But the last three times, they only fill it about 3/4 of the way, and between last time and this time, there appears to be no difference in portion size, despite me ordering the lunch portion last time and the dinner/full portion this time. Kind of can't help but feel ripped off, having paid for more but gotten the same. I'll try the other Thai places as my portion is not filling. It also seems like they're closed while driving by, very dim, half the lights are off, the windows at the sidewalk isn't very clear or inviting. I really hope this place can turn it a

This restaurant has become our family’s absolute favorite! The staff are incredibly kind, and every single dish is just bursting with flavor. The atmosphere is so warm and welcoming—it’s the perfect spot for family gatherings or catching up with friends. We’ve tried different dishes every time we’ve visited, and they never disappoint. Highly, highly recommend! Once you visit, you’ll see why we’re head over heels for this place!

My friend and I visited this restaurant on a Saturday night and there was only one server for the entire restaurant. There was a little girl also helping and I presume this was the owner's daughter. Both were very friendly and welcoming but it took a long time to get things. We ordered two main dishes and unfortunately neither of them were good. One of them tasted like it was sitting in the fridge for a few days and then microwaved. The other was barely enough food for one person and it was not a tasty dish. We also ordered an appetizer which never arrived. I've been reading the reviews here to learn that this restaurant is under new management. Hopefully they can use these reviews to improve the food and service because if they don't, I can't see this restaurant staying in business for ve
