- serviceI rarely write reviews, but I was very impressed with the service and food. The food was very good, and the service was impeccable. The staff member who served me and my nephew was professional and friendly, consistently refilling our water glasses, offering chopsticks, and checking back to ensure everything was satisfactory.

Ambience (8.5 out of 10)
mentioned by 47% of the guests
When it comes to the vibe, this spot truly shines! With a fantastic score of 8.5 and an excellent customer satisfaction rate of 91.4%, guests consistently rave about the atmosphere. Out of 70 total remarks, a whopping 64 were positive, highlighting the cozy atmosphere, beautiful decor, and how clean and inviting the space feels, often noting the plenty of parking too.
It sounds like a genuinely lovely place to relax and enjoy. However, there are a few minor points to consider, with only 3 negative comments. Some guests missed the lake view or felt the place lost a certain comfortable feel or homemade feel after changes.
While these are minor concerns given the overwhelmingly positive feedback, they suggest a slight shift in the restaurant's previous character for a very small number of patrons.

Frequently criticized
- comfortable feelthe comfortable feel is gone
- homemade feelThe new owner claims to have kept all staff, including the chef, but the reviewer doubts this, citing differences in food presentation, cooking methods, spice level control, curry preparation, and ground meat preparation as evidence of a new chef. The reviewer feels the restaurant has lost its touch of homemade feel and wishes the new management luck, acknowledging the big shoes to fill given the old King and I's 30+ year history and resilience.
- lake viewSucks that you cant see the lake
If you're looking for a restaurant with a genuinely pleasant and inviting atmosphere, this place is definitely worth checking out. The beautiful decor and cozy vibe make it a great spot for a relaxing meal, despite a few minor nostalgic notes from long-time patrons.

Excellent Thai Food and Service!
I visited this restaurant for my birthday, as my family loves Thai food. It was my first time here, and I immediately felt like a regular. The service was excellent; they truly went above and beyond, and I would return solely based on this factor alone.
The food was evenly matched, with everything being good, and most items being really good or even really, really good lol. You can definitely expect to have a great time with great food and service if you come here. Even if you don't live nearby, it's worth a little drive to experience the love and care that went into this restaurant.

Delicious Food and Friendly Service!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! The people were so nice, and the food was great! I especially loved the spring rolls, which were so fresh and perfect.
All their soups were also a hit, and the noodles always slap. The service was excellent, and the atmosphere was wonderful, both rated a 5 out of 5. The food also received a perfect 5 out of 5 score.

Best Thai Food Ever!
We hadn't heard of this place before but decided to try it randomly based on reviews. It didn't disappoint; in fact, it shined. I know this may sound like hyperbole, but it may be the best Thai food I've had anywhere ever.
The portions are generous, the food is delicious, the service is friendly, and the price is fair. What more could you want? I highly recommend it.
