Reviews for Kinnaree Thai Cuisine in Joplin, MO
Be sure to try this lovely little Thai place not far from I-44. Woke up with a strong craving for Thai and came to Kinnaree for... the first time (and not the last). The restaurant was completely empty and I was worried I had walked in during the very commonservice break you often have to contend with Asian quisine but out from the kitchen walked the waiter (owner?) who seated me assoon as I walked in. I ordered a Thai coffee, unsweetened iced tea, yellow curry with chicken, and a side of pad Thai. My waiterinquired as to spice level and recommended a 1 as I had never been there before reassuring me if it wasnt spicy enough theywould increase it until it was perfect for me. He returned with my drinks and a lovely little bowl of what I think was cabbageand rice soup. The Thai coffee was perfectly sweet and robust. Before I could finish my soup the food was at my table piping hotand fantastically fragrant. The curry was a little thinner than I am used to closer to a soup consistancy. A sweet, salty,spicy bowl of delicious, well rounded and balanced flavors. I don't eat a lot of spicy food while I travel and it was a littlemore mild than I was expecting but I could still feel a little burn on my chapped lips. The portion was MORE than fair (I havelunch packed for work tonight and possibly tomorrow. The side of pad Thai was perfect not dry nor overly sauced. I would haveliked a little spice to it but the flavor was perfection for me. After gobbling the pad thai I found myself too full for muchelse and my waiter took my plates to pack them to go for me. Overall: Service: 10/10 Food: 10/10 Read more
Having eaten in several Thai restaurants including in Thailand this one is only average....Restaurant is clean as is staff.... Curry was rather bland and more like a vegetable soup. tiny meat slices in curry were definitely on the tough side. 2 1/2 starsat best on food. Tom Johnston Read more
My family enjoys this eatery when we're looking for something different in Joplin besides the chain restaurants. My favorite is... the Crying Tiger (see attached pic). It has a great flavor. The place is always clean and the service is both helpful andcheerful. Read more
Went for the first time today and we will spread the word to everyone I know. Incredible food and very friendly staff. My... husband and I really enjoyed our meals. I am a whimp and did #1 for the heat which was perfect for me. My husband was braver anddid #3, his head was sweating lol. We will be returning soon. Read more
Great fresh food! I'm a big eater and came out absolutely stuffed. I ordered the appetizer spring rolls and Garlic Chicken lunch... portion, and asked for the #3 heat, which is their hottest. The order came with rice soup as well. I got the rice soup rightaway and it was delicious! The spring rolls (5 large ones!) came next, and they were light, crispy, piping hot. They weredelicious without the plum sauce, but dipped in it?! Over the top. I could founder on those alone. Somehow I managed to leave acouple to eat with the Garlic Chicken. It came out pretty quick, and my first bite was pretty hot. It was really good,but theheat kind of overpowered the flavor. My eyes started watering and nose running. That didn't stop me, but I would get the #2 nexttime. I can't wait to try the next dish! Read more
I can't even begin to describe how amazing Kinnaree Thai was. Their food was every thing that other reviews had stayed and... better. I had the chicken green curry with #4 heat and my husband had Pad Thai with chicken and Thai hot spice. Both were sogood and the heat was legit. If you don't like hot, do not get the higher levels of spice. The flavors of both dishes were sogood. The soup was delicious and we also had the spring rolls. Service was great and everything was very timely. Read more
I was a little confused about ordering but here's how it goes. You seat yourself and order at the table. The gentleman that... takes orders was really busy so I had to go up and ask where we order after not having someone come to our table after 5minutes. But it is understandable since they were so busy. He was very knowledgeable about what was vegan. They can make almostanything you want there vegan if you just let them know. I had rice soup and pineapple tofu fried rice. The food came out reallyquickly and tasted great! Everyone who works here was very kind, as well. A nice little restaurant that I will visit again!

Decided to stop in for lunch and get that fresh roll and Pad fix. Overall I enjoyed everything and especially those nicely done... fresh rolls. The Pad Se ew was just a little more runny than I like it but still good flavor and nicely done. Read more
