King and I

“Get adventurous” suggest surveyors of this solid Downtown Thai where the “spicy scale runs from careful to native” levels; “fine” service complements a spacious dining room accented with statues and artwork, and though tabs are already reasonable, bean counters note the weekday lunch buffet is even “cheaper.”

This was one of the worst dining experiences I have had. The service was non-existent. We had to find and fill a water pitcher during the meal because wait staff never came to the table or acknowledged our attempts to get their attention. This was after having an admittedly enjoyable 30 minute conversation with …

Avoid this restaurant! I went with a group of 8 people, and the overall experience was about the worst I've ever had at a Thai restaurant. We sat for 20 minutes at least without even getting water. It was only after asking them that they eventually sent someone to our table.It was easily half an hour before we got …

Not worth the money. Both meals were bland and unmemorable. Delivery was prompt but we could have gone to a local fast food restaurant, skipped the delivery fee and tip, been just as dissatisfied and paid less for the experience.

Wow the absolute worst service I have ever experienced. It took what felt like an eternity to get our food. We had to signal someone both to let them know we were ready to order and when we needed our check. I asked for more water multiple times and that never came. Everyone in our group received their …

I got the chicken curry from here and it was SO good!! The waiter was very nice and our food came out promptly. The ambiance is more casual and laid back. It's not upscale, but still looks nice inside. Price is fair and I had enough leftovers for 3 days of food.

Food came fast and was good. No complaints! Wish there wasn't such a high food minimum. I would probably order more often.

Every time we go here I get the volcano chicken. I love that I can set the heat. I usually get a 2 but gamble and get a 3 at times. I love to watch people sweat trying to be macho.

I love the King & I - they have a lunch buffet every day and on Fridays they have volcano chicken, which is my absolute favorite. The food is always fresh and it doesn't look like it's been sitting out for hours.

I'd always wanted to try out the food at King and I, and I thought I'd finally get the chance when my brother sent me a gift certificate, valid until the end of this year. So today, for my husband's birthday, we wanted to treat ourselves with a Thai meal by redeeming the certificate. Well, not only was the certificate not accepted, we were treated rudely by the manager as if we were some sort...

The Volcano Chicken is awesome and the best part is you can choose how hot (spicy) it is! The portions are generous, so go with an appetite or plan on taking some home with you for lunch the next day. The spring roll appetizer is very good as well!
