Don’t even bother with dinner. About $ 30.00 per couple without alcohol. Very little meat in any of the main dishes(our group ordered 6); smallish portions unable to share. Spicing seems to be random regardless of the selection at ordering. Dated, cluttered dining room that seems more appropriate for a 60’s Pizza Joint(not in a good way). None of us plan on returning. The Pad Thai was left uneaten — it was just very poorly prepared and Diabetics Beware — they really sweeten that stuff.

I had the combination fried rice with level 1 spicy and it was really good. The soup that came with it was good too. Staff was friendly and I liked the ambiance.

Still the best place for Thai food in town. Been coming here for 20 years. Don’t be fooled by the location and the shopping center. It’s a delicious classic!

Used to love this place and was a frequent customer since its very close to where i live. I went today and saw they were under new management. I was worried and went in. We ordered our usual beef pad si ew and chicken fried rice –Portions for both items were about half of what they used to be for the same price. –The pad si ew was too salty –The fried rice was a bit bland. I really did enjoy getting food here. I dont know if I’ll be coming back… :(

Everything was PERFECT! Dying for peanut chicken and curry on my way home… a few hiccups with understanding when the order would be ready for pick up, but so worth a confusing phone call! Crab Rangoon had a delicious, seasoned filling. Peanut sauce was a little thick, but so flavorful. Kung Pao chicken at medium heat smelled spicer then it was. Yellow curry at medium… PERFECT! A little burn in the mouth, sweet vegetables, broth consistency was dead on. Can’t wait to go back!

I would give this place 3.5 stars. I had the pad Thai with tofu and Panang with shrimp. I asked for a 3 out of 4 spice, but it wasn’t spicy at all, so I had to eat it with jalapeños. Overall, the pad Thai was good, but not great. I feel like it wasn’t as flavorful as other places. It lacked the sweet peanut taste that I like so much. The Panang was delicious. The shrimp was a fair size which I was impressed about. The portions are the same as other places, but I don’t think I’ll be driving all the way here for it. It didn’t have the glitter/spazz effect on me to crave for it. The Thai tea was okay for 3.00 bucks. The service is okay. The lady is very nice, but never really came back to check up on us. At one point she disappeared for awhile. The parking lot is ghetto and some shady people around too. I locked my doors when I was in my car. Haha

Disappointed. Ordered for delivery, the hostess who took my order was very personable and sweet. Unfortunately so was the pad Thai. That nutty and spicy flavor I had been craving wasn’t there, instead a sweetness that was overwhelming and a huge turn off. Delivery was super fast, albeit the driver called me to come get the food downstairs of my apartment complex. While I understand safety is a priority, I’ve lived here two years with no one ever making that request. It was odd. I will try it one more time, maybe the curry will be better?

Overpriced and underdelivered. If I order a dish that has meat as the main ingredient, unsurprisingly I expect it to contain an entrée portion of meat. I would have NEVER paid $ 12 for 37 cents worth of sautéed veggies in broth and a half ounce of meat. This corner-cutting, blatantly cheap maneuver on their part is completely unacceptable. GTFO! It wasn’t one dish, but rather several. Cheap bastards

What a find! I thought this place was going to be a dive from the looks of the complex, but it really is a diamon in the rough. The food was affordable, fresh and seasoned well and the service was good too. I DEFINITELY plan to come back. Wish I had found this place sooner.

IFYOUREALLERGIC, DONTORDERTAKEOUTFROMGRUBHUB. I put in the special instructions to bring change for $ 100. The driver and restaurant didn’t even know that the field existed. I’m not upset about that. However, what if I was allergic to something and the didn’t read it. Scary Stuff.

My experience with the King and I restaurant was disappointing all around. On a Tuesday night, my two entrees and one side took an hour and a half to get to my house, even though the estimated delivery time for my order was 50 minutes. Once the food arrived, I was further disappointed that I was brought egg rolls instead of spring rolls. I hate egg rolls. I would not recommend this restaurant.

My girlfriend and I come here often for their lunch special because they offer a discount to UNLV students. I usually get one of the three curries they offer and my girlfriend opts for a vegetarian pad Thai. I tend to order the curry because I tried the sweet and sour chicken once and it was unreasonably sweet. My girlfriend loves their egg rolls and pad Thai because they usually customize it to her liking. The real problem here is the wait staff every time I come here I am greeted by a waiters that are rude and apathetic. I try to be a «good customer» but it never seems to help, but when I consider the money I’ve spent I always leave this place feeling satisfied. Pros: 1. Lunch special food is very good considering the price. 2. Their curry is delicious! 3. The décor is really nice. Cons: 1. The waitresses are rude. 2. Certain menu items are much too sweet!

Wish I could rate a zero! Horrible customer service! The lady who took my order was wrong and she would not own up to it, I asked her to change it and she yelled that she did not misunderstand me that it’s my fault, never has anyone been so rude in the customer service, never going to order from here again, and I suggest you don’t either!

I’m not sure what to rate it… Everything was so sweet. I love Pad Thai and there Pad Thai was just not doing it. For the price I paid for it was decent I guess I just thought it would be better because of all the good reviews I heard about it. I feel like I just had a sugar rush. And the waitress which I can’t blame, was the only one there left our glass empty and did not even refill it. I couldn’t drink the Thai tea anymore! It was sweet as well The atmosphere and ambience was nice and relaxing.

I’ve been here quite a few times. I gave this place a chance, I really did. 6+ visits. It seems like a diamond in the rough and that it would of become my new favorite Thai spot, but there are many reasons that this place is lacking, and is best avoided. The first impression of this place was good, it had nice décor and seemed like a very good menu. The Pad Thai is the only good thing I’ve ever tried here though, the curry is too watery, the tofu too over fried, and there’s more onions than anything in the vegetable dishes. One time our rice was even burnt to crunchiness, ew. While that put me off in all of itself, the tipping edge of never returning here is the rude server we seem to always get. Most of the waitresses are nice, but there’s always this one waitress(maybe waiter, she sounds like a man) that is rude as all hell when we visited here. She’s not friendly to the customers, and slams food and glasses around. Like shit dude, if you don’t like your job go get another one and quit making everyone else miserable. While I’ll miss the Pad Thai, I’ll be finding another Thai spot to replace this horrible restaurant.

So I’ve been here a total of two times. And first impression was eh small business trying to make it maybe ill give it a shot help the people out. Sure why not I’m all for that. However first time I came they were rude, but the amount of food was good for the price. It’s located in the Vons center right across the street from unlv, so it’s pretty convenient considering I spend most of my time at school. The lunch specials are good, however service is extremely slow. Decorations are nice however I don’t think I will comeback due to the horrible service despite the large amount of food and convenience.

I always question any restaurant that combines two different style of food and I was right(Thai and Chinese) First customer service was good and the server was really nice and accommodating and she made sure our drinks were always filled. And that’s the best of this place. I order the roughy and I was disappointed. It was drenched in sauce. If that fish was alive, he could have swam in that plate! It was too salty and lacked true flavor. I wished I ordered something else. There were too much ginger and not enough mushroom. My FPIC ordered the pad thai and he said it was good… but it looked sad and lacked a lot of garnish. The thai ice tea was way too sweet. It was 20% tea and 80% cream… I couldn’t finish the drink. I wanted to enjoy this place but it was not appealing to the palate at all.

Quick and Friendly service! I work near here and whenever I need a quick Thai fix, I come to King & I. If you dine in, you would see that they have a lot of regulars here. I always try to squeeze in a quick lunch with my main squeeze here. As a matter of fact, this time around I ordered ahead of time, to have more QT with him over lunch. When we got in, it looked a little busy, but our table was already set up with our food and drinks… WOW! Soon as we sat down, they came by to ask if we would like anything else to drink other than our water that was already there. We shared a papaya salad at its spiciest level, they gave me spice levels of 1 – 4. I said 3 and it had just enough kick to it. Papaya salad was very fresh and it was also served with lettuce on the side too. Jesse N and I both had lunch specials. I had Shrimp Pad Thai, he had Beef Panang Curry. Lunch specials are about $ 7.95-$ 9.95 a plate. Served with Won Ton Strips, Eggroll, Salad, Rice and your choice of entrée. Great deal for the price, I’m stuffed writing this review! My Pad Thai was great tasting, not as spicy as I would like it, but then again, I was so hungry that I didn’t even ask for my spices to make it spicier to my liking. LOL, so yes, spicy wasn’t there but that is an easy fix. I had about 3 big sized shrimps in my Pad Thai, that may sound like a few pieces, but it was the whole shrimp, not shrimp that is all chopped up to say you had shrimp on your plate, and I like to portion out my meat with my fork full of carbs, and it matched up decently. Tasted the Panang and that was actually flavorful. I usually don’t like panang, but King and I’s version is yum! They also give UNLV students a discount, College Students, that’s a score… its conveniently located near campus.
