In Short
Ensconced in a strip mall, this modest little gem leaves a noble mark on those who happen to stumble upon it. While it looks like a takeout only restaurant, it is tastefully decorated, quiet, and just the place for a casual dinner outing. The dishes, including Singapore noodles and pad thai, are served on the spicy side, so you are asked to indicate your level of comfort from "Coward" to "Native Thai."

Before I moved permanently to Las Vegas (15 years ago) The first restaurant I went to was King and I on Trop. There was a flier on our door at the back rooms at Imperial palace so we ventured out to try the food. Chris Budajam (the owner) greeted us and his mom prepared our native Thai meals. I was never a fan of Thai thinking it was like Chinese (Americanized) food. Well that experience has led to a long relationship of weekly visits. Their specials and food are truly wonderful and made to order. I have taken many guests to lunch and addicted them as well. And as an added bonus Chris and Nikki also keep a stash of beautiful Chablis, Gerwutz, and other great white wines that pair fantastically with the spicy Thai flavor. If you eat in one new place this month make it King and I. Say hi to Chris and Nikki for me!

I was taken to this restaurant by a co-worker that swore by the place. I am not a big thai food eater, so I went reluctantly. I was pleasantly surprised and the quality of the food and the quaintness of the restaurant. The prices surprised me too! They had great lunch specials and the owner was really nice, he came by to say hello to all of us. What a great restaurant! I willl surely eat there again.

The pad thai disappointed me and so did the curry. I would definitely recommend to try the chicken satay, duck and coconut soup.
