It has a very unassuming appearance from the street, but inside it is cozy and pleasant. The staff are very friendly and attentive. Tried the panang curry with tofu and really enjoyed it. Khob khun khrup!

This used to be my favorite Thai place in Lawrence but they raised their prices and in my recent experience, shrunk the portions along with quality. I wasn’t impressed when I recently visited. We got a Mild/as-is drunken noodles but it was almost too spicy for us to eat, and had tons of chili flakes. We are used to some amount of spice but we specifically got mild so we could share with our kid.

I distinctly remember pad Thai having peanuts in them since forever. It had none! other than that it was satisfactory.Flies were inside being a constant pest and made me lose my appetite. The server and cashiers were nice. Overall, I can not recommend this place with its flying tenets. I will never come back here.

Was a decent Thai place, now even better. Lots of new things on the menu, the food presentation is way better than before, and the portion is bigger, too. Photo below were taken within the last two months.

Hands down some of the best thai food I’ve had in KS so far. Best pad thai. Good short ribs. Every other Asian restaurant in Lawrence should take notice ..

We headed for dinner the other night to Thai Diner, located on 23rd St in a strip shopping area near Louisiana St. The dining area is small, but comfy. Mostly tables of 4 that can be moved to accommodate large groups. The menu is varied, includes lots of different appetizers, fried rices, stirred-fryied dishes, curries, and noodles. We ordered tofu for appetizer. It was excellent and was served with a lovely hot sauce, For main dish, I ordered Phad Thai Gang Dang, excellent dish of the Phad Thai with chicken and shrimp. My partner ordered Phad See Eew Noodles; it was freshly prepared with a good mix of broccoli, noodles, not excessive spicy, very tasty. The staff was very attentive and helpful. A definite place to visit for dinner or a meal with friends.

Such a sweet place, nice and relaxing music, and awesome staff! Started off with an appetizer (Sweet Yam Sensation) and finished my night on the sweet note with the Thai Sweet Tropical (pictured)! Absolutely recommend! Delicious all the way! If you’re a couple trying to figure out where to eat and can’t stop asking each where your significant other wants to eat, I recommend Thai Diner! 🙂

My partner and I eat here multiple times a week. The waitstaff is wonderful and accommodating. The food is amazing ! I also have celiac and never even a single time have had an issue with their food being reliably gluten free

Great food, however we found a piece of hair in the food when we were there last time. We didn’t say anything because the food was amazing and the servers were nice. Today we went in and they messed up the order but blamed me for ordering “tofu” when I said pork. The server came out with a new order and she went “now you told me tofu” in a very rude tone, then walked away. Maybe instead of assuming what a customer says, she could’ve considered that she heard the order wrong. Will never be back again
