Cannot get enough of the Coconut Curry Noodle Soup! I get level three spice--listen to the reviews, even the low spice levels are pretty spicy in my opinion. Great customer service, all the servers are extremely knowledgeable about the good. I am presuming it is a family business. I must say I was disappointed in the Pad Thai though.

This is my favorite Thai place in town. It is very small as others have said, but I find it cozy. The walls are covered in pictures and knickknacks from the family's vacations to Thailand. Some of their dishes are even served in some of the family's souvenirs! The food is also really good. I can taste the difference in the quality of the spices used here pretty easily. Nothing in town really compares. I will warn you to be cautious about heat level if you don't like hot food. The owner and his wife will be happy to accommodate you. That being said, the food is really a lot better if you get it hot!

I have eaten here countless times. Every dish is delicious, and it is the best Thai food in the Cleveland area. I have tried about 1/3 of the menu, the curry's are superb, the pad Thai is delicious. Kwan, the cook, makes several house and hometown specials that I think are the best of all. Thai Kitchen caters to vegans, allergies, and can make most dishes gluten free. I come here about once a week, and highly recommend it as a must stop in Lakewood.

The place is really small, but very cute. It was not super busy until after I ordered. Call in take out orders came streaming in. I got lucky. Next time I will call my order in first. I decided to play 'order something random off the menu' and I did not have good luck. I ordered #42 Pad Se Ew. It was not good. I liked the Chinese broccoli that was about it otherwise it was slime-y. Maybe it was supposed to be that way. I have no idea. I can't even eat the rest. The flat noodles just didn't do it for me. My stomach already hurts and I didn't even eat a quarter of my meal. The spring rolls were super good though. So eh my lunch wasn't all that good. Maybe I will try this place again and just order Pad Thai.

Great family owned Thai restaurant. There isn't much seating inside, but it is very cozy and welcoming nonetheless. The prices are extremely reasonable, especially for Thai food and for the portion size... I ordered a Thai iced tea, fish cake appetizer and an entree and my bill was somehow only $17. This place would be great for lunch takeout or a casual dinner. I am happy to recommend this place and will definitely be back for more! Also, make sure you leave room for dessert :)
(5)Amanda H.
The future Mr and I checked out this place for the first time. It came recommended by a coworker of mine. As other reviewers have stated it is small and cramped inside. I get the feeling that most of their business is take out. My fiance ordered the Thai salad with the ginger dressing and the basil kitchen speciality. The dressing on the salad was amazing and should be bottled! His main dish was good nothing special. Tasted good but had little spice. I ordered the crispy spring rolls and chicken pad tai. The rolls with the peanut dipping sauce were great. Wish there had been more than just 2 with the order. The pad tai was good, nice subtle heat. However I have had better. I also had a thai iced tea with my dinner which was very tastey and delicious! For dessert we ordered the vanilla ice cream over the sweetened sticky rice...definitely nothing to write homr about. Overall our first experience here was good. Not sure that we will be back anytime soon. And if/when we do return, more than likely will be for take out.
(3)Emina H.
I'm actually obsessed with this place, after having only been here once. The owners are adorable, a true family business. The food was delicious. I started with Thai iced tea, and my friends and I ordered a few appetizers. The peanut sauce for Tver chicken satay was so flavorful. It was the peanutiest peanut sauce I've ever had. I also tried the pad kee mao. Delicious, yet again. I ordered a side of the sticky rice as well. So good. Stickiest sticky rice I've ever had. Gotta love that starch. For dessert, I ordered bua loy, an option I've never seen a Thai restaurant before. Absolutely amazing. Rice balls in warm coconut milk. Not too sweet. Just perfection. Highly recommend this place. I left with the desire to try everything on the menu!
(5)Z E.
So delicious! I recommend the Thai kitchen Tom yum soup. It's the perfect combination of spicy, citrus, and sweet. I crave it from the moment I finish the bowl. The service is always friendly and the food is made fresh.
(5)Mike K.
This place is definitely a hidden gem! The ingredients are fresh and the sauce is original and amazing! The lime water was also great, not as good at the roots "lemon juice water" made by gabby on the secret menu, but worth noting! You can't go wrong - 5 stars!
(5)Shayna B.
The spring rolls were great and my papaya salad was tasty (Sweet Mango's is better, but Thai Kitchen's is still good). I got it with salty crab though, which I was overcharged for (server fixed it immediately)... It was a large shelled spider that I wasn't expecting. No crab meat for me. I'm going to chalk this up to my own ignorance. Overall, a good experience. Not the best Thai I've had, but good! (I'm a big fan of Ty Fun in Tremont)
(3)Phil K.
The absolute best Thai food in Cleveland. Growing up in a Thai household and living in Thailand in 2012.... Chef Kwan brings authenticity to a new level. Try the som tan and gai yang (chicken) for a staple Thai dish. All the dishes taste like they come from the famous street vendors in Thailand. Enjoy the pictures hanging on the wall for a true feel of Thailand. The service is great and I always look forward to a great conversation! Arroi Mak!
(5)Ferris B.
The food was OK. It just wasn't what I was expecting. I got the green curry and the only real flavor was the spice, not the sweet coconut you expect. I also thought the portion size was quite small. I ordered to go. Charm Thai in Parma was waaayyy better.
(3)Doug F.
They have the best curry! The green is my fav. I'm told that hey make all of the curry pastes from scratch. The family is super nice and are very inviting. They bring the heat if you ask for it, I like to cry a little bit!
(5)David B.
Came here for dinner with my wife and daughter. It was delicious. We were quite hungry and ordered lots of food for the three of us to share. Spring rolls, fresh rolls, chicken satay, papaya salad, stir-fried red curry with peppercorn, bell pepper, onion, green bean, basil, seasoned veggies, and chicken (H 4), and Beef Ta-Krite, a stir-fried beef with lemon grass, chili paste and string bean (H 6). Everything was SO good, but the spring rolls (and yummy sauce) and H 4 stole the show. Highly recommended! It is a tiny, family-run restaurant run by super nice people. We will definitely be back.
(5)Spencer W.
Great service, great atmosphere. Okay pad Thai, okay spring rolls. Peanut sauce is on point. Ordered on a Friday night, half hour wait for pick up. That's understandable. I look forward to going back and trying something new.
(3)Rusty S.
Excellent thai food. I eat a lot so I have to get extras. I got khao rad na with extra veggies, chicken, and rice. It was delicious, but I could've done another of the same. Worth it for sure, but not enough food for me. It was $12.99 total. Also, I'm not a big fan of really spicy foods, a little jalapeños are usually enough for me. I got spicy level 4 and it was really mellow. May go up to 6 next time. I got carry out and the people there were fast, polite, and helpful. The guy on the phone was easy to understand, which is something I always worry about when calling Thai/Chinese restaurants. If you are going to eat there, be aware that the place is VERY small.
(4)Joy F.
The only reason why I gave this restaurant 2 stars is because the service was good, the employees were friendly, and the food was actually spicy upon request. Other than that, I would not return here unfortunately We ordered 2 pad thai dishes, one with chicken, one with beef. One red beef curry dish. One Pad Se Ew with chicken The meat portions are ridiculously small compared to everything else in the dishes. On top of that, the chicken was way overcooked and dry, and I swear the beef in one of our pad thai dishes smelled "funky" (the only way I can describe it). The noodles were just ok, the little bit of sauce on the bottom was flavorful but the dishes overall were so lackluster. The pad se ew was probably my favorite of all the dishes because it was a great mix of sweet and spicy (5/10 requested) and the chinese broccoli had a nice crunch. But, like the other dishes, there was barely any meat. I definitely kept eating tofu and egg thinking that it was chicken and kept being disappointed =( The red curry was also pretty good and flavorful, but I wouldn't have been surprised if they mixed our dish up with a vegetarian dish....that's how little beef there actually was.
(2)Kevin D.
This place is amazing!!! The curry made my mouth soooo happy with all the distinct flavors. The service was super friendly and fast. The restaurant is very small (only a few tables for four and a few for two) but clean. We had the yellow curry, massaman curry, pad Thai, fresh spring rolls, and crispy spring rolls. We had a combination of the meats and the spice levels. Everything came out perfectly. We would absolutely recommend this place!!
(5)Jack W.
Went on a Saturday night and did not have to wait lucky timing if you ask me since the wait for a table quickly went up to 30 minutes. We had several question about the menu and th e friendly staff answered them all. Now as other reviews stated the wait time for the food was about 30 minutes not too bad for the volume this place does. We had the spring rolls fried and they are pretty kick ass. The spice level on my dish was a 10 and as a hot head I was not disappointed.
(5)Milos M.
Let me tell you, if you want some of the best traditional Thai food you can find in the Cleveland area this is the place to be. Amazingly large selection of items, and options from beef/chicken/shrimp/tofu. I always get the Pad Thai and Spring Rolls, so delicious, I never am disappointed by them. My only concern is its a tiny place in an appartment and it doesn't look too...clean, and the large menu kind of questions the freshness of the items they prepare, how many people can be possibly ordering for them to continue having a large menu. I really would wish for them have a large decent spot to offer they're good food.
(3)Sid Y.
I'd give it a 3.5 if i could. This place is tiny and super simple with friendly staff. Their spring rolls are good, a bit oily for my taste though. Keang Panaeng was really good but Pad Thai was a definite miss. But overall, not disappointing. I'd recommend it.
(3)Joe C.
Small and charming, the food was really good and the service extremely caring. If you're looking for a first date place, this might not be it, as the ambience isn't very impressive, but the food absolutely is!
(4)Michele L.
Absolutely the best Thai in the city. Fresh, delicious and great service to boot. This is my new go-to place for Thai.
(5)Jeff S.
Choo Che dish was excellent. Service friendly and made it an event to take my two kids out for dinner. T We even tried the durian dessert. It was delicious and the famous odor was present enough to give us a whiff but not overpowering- the fruit was deliciously sweet and exotic. Mind the warnings on the spice scale. I usually order everything extra spicy. I recommend 7-8 here. The place seats 12 and does carryout.
(4)Lee J.
Our experience was atrocious. I have worked in a Thai restaurant before and I can not believe how some of these dishes were prepared and served. Pad Thai: too much sugar and watered down sauce was used. The Green Curry was too thick and dry. It was also served on a PLATE. Thai Curry goes into a bowl, it should have a consistency similar to soup. Our order came out at different times, by a large margin. One person was able to finish off half of their dish before the other dish came out. The Thai tea was a shame both in size and quality. It was 70% half-n-half, it should be 50/50 and poured CAREFULLY over the ice to not mix the two. Overall I should have walked out.
(1)Jen M.
As always, excellent food and service. Spice level 5 is perfect for me. Chose #23 on the menu this time with chicken and of course had to order spring rolls. Yummy.
(5)Sam L.
Absolutely amazing place to eat or order take out. This hole in a wall joint is perfect for a quiet dinner for two or a movie night at home with the family. After eating at various Thai restaurants in the Cleveland area, this one is by far my favorite. It does not need a fancy, expensive setting or delicate silverware to overcompensate for the fact that the food is simply authentic. Kwan was born and raised in Thailand and has been back since moving to America to further expand her knowledge on the cuisine- and it shows. The portions are perfect and everything is deliciously cooked to perfection. The spring rolls with their light crispy flavor and sweet sauce are a must have. You cannot go wrong with the Pad Thai although my favorite by far is the shrimp pad see ew. Be careful with the spicy scale... A 3 on a scale of 10 may seem weak but that is the max that I can handle! If you like spicy food, this restaurant will give your taste buds a run for their money. I highly recommend this joint and refuse to get my Thai fix anywhere else!
(5)Laura S.
Let me preface this by saying that this is by no means a fancy restaurant. Thai Kitchen is a place for Date Night, not a first date. The location is the size of the average Bay Village closet, which is to say around 1000 square feet. You will hear other people's conversations; you will worry that you take up too much space simply by sitting down. But if you're comfortable trading a little razzle-dazzle for some truly exceptional food (especially for this price range), prepare your palate for the symphony of flavours offered at Thai Kitchen. Celiac disease robbed me of the ability to properly handle gluten, so asian restaurants are a special part of the landmine that is dining-out. But Thai Kitchen? Totally groovy with that. The staff are well-acquainted with what gluten is and where it's found, and will steer you clear of potential hazards. Even better, the GF options are something other than salad, rice, and rice salad. I feel like a real person, and not a public nuisance, when I ask for GF fare, and that makes all the difference. Though I'm a woman of simple tastes (I am regularly hassled for ordering Pad Thai every single time, but it caresses my taste buds with such exquisite delicacy!) I have tried a great many dishes offered here: there's a yellow curry that tastes like the sun dancing across the side of a building on a warm summer evening as the scent of wildflowers hangs in the breeze; the basil fried rice kicks the tongue as it goes down, delicious even the more for its heady spices. I've only been disappointed twice: a cashew, chicken, and rice dish that was essentially those ingredients sitting brown and unadorned on plain china, and one memorable event where I chose to put spice on an already spicy dish (it overwhelms the flavours, rather than enhance. Poor choice.) Spice, of all things, is what Thai Kitchen does best, and when used carefully and in consideration of existing spice in the dish, can make a meal tremendous. The spice scale is 1-10, 10 being "Thai hot." What they don't tell you (but you soon learn) is that the number is directly correlated with the number of thai peppers sliced and added to your meal. Patrons have been known to go higher than 10; I myself briefly held the record for 41 peppers in the (delicious at any level) Thai Kitchen Tom Yum soup. It took an entire pot to fit the arsenal of peppers, but it was an experience both invigorating and terrifying--though the latter only because I didn't think I could fit a gallon of soup in my body. (The fallout, such as it were, was not as drastic as one may have thought.) Absolutely recommended to anyone looking for a new place to try in the Lakewood area, or for that matter anywhere in greater CLE.
(5)Elizabeth M.
This is a great local option for takeout Thai food. The Panaeng curry chicken had some atypical veggies thrown in, but it was good. The pad Thai is decent. Everything we've ordered has been well flavored and tasty I would give five stars, but the takeout portions are a little small for the cost.
(4)Tiffany M.
My review starts with my over the phone ordering experience. The woman who I initially spoke with was quite kind and helpful. She was willing to explain exactly what was in each dish I inquired about as I have several food limitations and a few allergies. At this point, no complaints at all. The food was mediocre in my opinion. The one item I was able to try was the pad Thai, and it certainly wasn't the best I've had in Cleveland and it's not the worst either. The rice noodles were well prepared, chicken well cooked, but overall a bit on the dry side. My issue with this restaurant came when the order was brought home and it was discovered that a dish that I had specifically ordered with certain things omitted had ALL of those omitted items in the dish. I immediately called to explain the situation and that I would not be able to eat the dish, and that I had specifically asked for these items to be omitted from the dish. This time, I was speaking with a different woman. Her response was not one of apology over the mistake in the order. She put me on hold and I heard her ask someone else about my order (I'm assuming that it was the first woman I spoke with). When she came back to the phone, she said "well, you have to pick out the stuff that you can't eat." Are you serious? No offer to remake the dish that was their mistake, no apology... I most definitely will not be back.
(1)Jayme K.
This place is AMAZING. I had a craving for some pad thai and was BLOWN away. I called and ordered and the gentleman on the phone was incredibly helpful and nice. He assisted me in the spiciness on a scale 1-10 and broke it all down for me. We decided to go with a 3 to try first. I also ordered a side of spring rolls. Not know where this place actually was of Madison, not going to lie, little weary of the outside, but inside was adorable. They have about 5/6 tables and were all FULL! I definitely want to come back here and eat inside. As I took my food and left about 4 minutes later they gentleman called me and mentioned he actually gave me a 4 on the spice scale and told me what to do if it was to spicy. I said it was ok and was def impressed by the customer service. If ever have a Thai craving...this is the place to go!
(5)Joe P.
I went to meet my Asian friend, Ryan, here at this tight little Thai restaurant that has been here for 20 plus years. Ryan never showed. Probably pretending to be a ninja somewhere in Elyria. I hear that's where the ninjas congregate these days. As I was ordering my Tom Kar, in walks my good friend Carole! I was happy to see her, she was ambivalent, but sat with me anyways. She'd been avoiding me. I offered her some Tom Kar too & she graciously accepted. Bob, the server who knows more about Taiwan then the Tiawanese, got 2 bowls. We both wanted chicken....he gave us shrimp. Probably a language misunderstanding...happens. The oolong tea was so good that Carole started to perk up. Apparently she had gotten sick of my paranoia with the smart phone I was using. I had accused her of hacking it around New Years. I don't recall. I blame champagne. As we waited for our curry dishes, a priest at the adjoining table asked if we were married. We laughed. Next thing I knew we were saying our vows over Musamun & Sup Ba Rot. The whole establishment celebrated our union over durian I sweet sticky rice. All this was tastiness was wonderful, but now Carole & I have some explaining to do. This was not in her plans, or mine. Just make sure you get chicken in your coconut soup, folks.....the shrimp will mess your life up. Other than that, yummy place:)

This is a hidden treasure that I hope for my sake stays hidden. Upon appearance we didn't want to eat there, could use some updating/cleaning. However, the aroma kept us there. The Pad Thai is some of the best I ever had, next to the Veggie Curry. On hot days we ride out bike here just to pick up an Iced Thai Tea...so good! It's family owned and literally just the family works there. Mom/wife is the brilliant chef, husband and daughter are the front of the house. This place makes magic.
(5)Julian G.
Great. Tastes just like in Thailand, comes with the seasoning carousel most places don't
(5)Erin B.
This is my favorite Thai place in the Cleveland area... Probably the most "authentic"... as much as I could possibly know what that means, having never been to Thailand. I like the curries and crispy spring rolls the best. There are some dishes I haven't seen on the menus of other Thai restaurants. The owner/ chef automatically makes vegetarian/ tofu dishes vegan (unless they come with egg... ask for no egg to make it vegan). It is somewhat inconsistent at times, but I hardly know of a place that isn't. I am more often very pleased with what I get. It seems like they have been making portions smaller for take out... Maybe the new containers? That's okay, I still like it the best. If you like things super-spicy, they will make things 30/10 spice level. I usually get take-out. The restaurant can be crowded and the kitchen is right there... in way I like this, but I don't really like the smell of meat cooking. This probably doesn't bother most people. Overall, highly recommended.
(5)Dennis A.
Service was kind and courteous I would encourage a to go order and eat at Edgewater park. Although the combination pad thai didn't have all the promised ingredients.
(4)Danielle S.
Have dined in and had takeout. Both times I got the coconut curry noodle soup. It is outstanding. I've had coconut curry soup from many places before and this is pretty high up there. The staff is also extremely friendly. If you like Thai I definitely recommend Thai kitchen.
(5)Lifu L.
This is so far the best Thai food I ever had in the U.S. Everything is authentic!!! Their peanut sauce, fresh roll even the ice tea! I tried the ice tea, satay and PadThai which are just the same taste I had when I was in Chiangmai, Thailand. The decorations may look a little bit outdated and incomparable to those bling bling extravagant Thai restaurants, but this is the place where authentic flavors come! Don't miss it! The waiter John is excellently friendly and courteously too!
(5)Cindy L.
5 stars for this hidden gem!! So healthy and delicious - Kwan (the chef) buys all of the produce fresh and prepares the meals right as they are ordered. Nothing is frozen (even the salmon!) The flavors in the red chicken curry dish that I ordered were so authentic and delicious! Don't be deterred by the size of this joint - it's AMAZING :)
(5)Samantha M.
I would venture to say that this is the best Thai food in Cleveland if you are looking for authentic flavors, spice level, and a restaurant that considers dietary restrictions. Almost all options can be made vegan and gluten free which is a huge bonus. Thai iced coffee that is to die for. Highly recommend any of the curry dishes!
