Thai Kitchen - Thai restaurant in Durango - 101 W 11th St, USA

HAD I know they use plastic containers only for even Dine in - I wouldn’t have gone to the place. After SOOO Much of Awareness around the World on not to Use Plastic - especially for food - And Completely Avoid for Hot temperatures food - I don’t get how Restaurant business still are soo Unbothered of customers wellness. I hate hot food being directly poured in Plastic boxes. AND THATS THE MAIN REASON I PREFER DINE-In Versus Take Away In USA. Food Tasted really very BASIC. I had to trash more than half of the food, as I didn’t feel appetite after the Plastic and the taste of Food. I will Be extra careful next time and Specifically look for plastic usage before I enter the place. This place - keep aside plastic part - the food quality taste was mediocre. About service - specifically Mentioned that I will take the hot jasmine tea later and not with food. People in USA - most restaurants just want to get there work in one go - they never have any Order/Steps for Course. All appetizers, main course and drinks and almost dumped on customers table at the same time. Sooo different from rest of the world. I grin when PEOPLE here talk about Customer Service, Bcoz it doesn’t exist.

Visited here on MLK day 2024 and was informed that they didn’t offer dine in. It doesn’t mention that there’s no dine in on their website nor yelp which is surprising. Fried tofu was decent and the spicy sauce I asked for was flavorful but plan to order the food as take out ahead of time instead of reaching there to know that there’s no dine in.

Thai Kitchen delivers an authentic Thai dining experience that goes beyond expectations. The dishes are a burst of genuine flavors, from perfectly balanced Pad Thai to black sticky rice with custard. What sets this place apart is not just the fantastic food but the outstanding hospitality of the host. Their warmth and attentiveness elevate the dining experience. For a taste of Thailand accompanied by impeccable service, Thai Kitchen is a must-try.

Oh god this place was the best find in our trip. It was a rainy day and they dont have a dine in so we ordered and enjoyed the food in car and everything we ordered was bomb. We ordered Fried Dumplings, Thai Egg rolls, Soft Veg Spring rolls (too good), pine apple chicken fried rice, Spicy Basil Fried rice (fried rice was best nicely done a safe option) Grilled chicken Peanut Salad (this was a first try and it was unexpectedly so good the chicken was so tender and juicy with all the sauces do try this) Overall If we visit Durango again we’ll taks out for sure. If you’re reading this, just go order already!!

I originally wanted to order Pad Thai with shrimp after seeing it on the menu at $18.95, but the server informed me that it was actually $20. I doubt that is the only price discrepancy in the menu. The Pad Thai itself was extremely salty, as if it had too much MSG. Didn't taste much like any Pad Thai I've ever had. Bonus star for the server, she was pleasant.

My daughter and I visited Durango. We ordered the Yellow Curry Fried Rice and Green Curry, both with Veggies and Tofu. We had walked a long way to the restaurant, in the cold, to pick up our order because we didn't have a car. I came back to our place, again in the cold and very tired, and we received a random fried rice and a Green Curry with no Tofu. I called the restaurant and explained to them politely that we didn't get our correct order and explained to them the situation. The person on the phone was very rude and told us that we had to walk all the way to the restaurant to get the correct order or a refund. I asked if we could send a picture somehow, but they also said no to that. We had to order dinner from another place. Some sympathy or a sorry from the person on the phone would have been nice and would have increased this rating. I am disappointed by the customer service. I should have been cautious from the other reviews about this place.

Great food! Would highly recommend. I personally love the Pad Thai with veggies and tofu. The food is hot! Make sure to order with-in your heat range. They do not have indoor seating at the moment. They do have seats outside with heaters though.

I’m a regular at Thai Kitchen, but tonight wasn’t the best…maybe a new cook? The rice was a bit crunchy and didn’t seem fresh. My curry seemed to be separated and there was no tofu in it like I ordered. ☹️Hope it was just an off evening because this is one of my go-to places.
