| Favorites: | Lemon Grass Beef |
| Comments: | I had a nice dining experience, which began with a 'golden triangle' appetizer (shrimp), followed by a delicious and spicy main course (plentiful portions!) of lemon grass beef (included green peppers, onions, and other vegetables), and concluded with a heavenly dessert of coconut ice cream. The friendly service was excellent. A casual atmosphere for those looking for an informal dining experience. This new restaurant is located in the 'northland' (I29 & 72nd steet, in an informal location, next to several 'chain' stores. |

Wow, checkout the decorations on the walls at Tasty Thai you will be amazed. Looks like the owner put a lot of work into the restaurant, including the decorations. |

| Comments: | It's terrific that a Thai restaurant has ventured to theNorthland, especially one as terrific as this one.
The Chicken Satay was perfectly grilled and the peanut dipping sauce was smooth and the right temperature.
Overall, the food "sung" with flavor, and it was all fresh and expertly prepared. The waitress (who I believe was the owner) was friendly, and she was willing to recommend dishes that our two children would like. Indeed, the sticky rice kept them absorbed for the entire meal. This restaurant is nonpretentious and clean. One can only hope that Thai restaurants continue to go in next door to KFCs and other strip mall fast-food franchises--it certainly gives us more option! |

| Comments: | I have been to many thai restaurants, but this restaurant's food quality is considered not good. The Phad Thai that i tasted was nasty and it was hard to chew. The Tom Yum soup was very expensive, just 4 pcs shrimp and costed me $5.00. The waitress seemed unfriendly to serve us. I and my husband would not go there again. We like thai food, but this thai restaurant was out of our expectation. |

| Favorites: | Beef Salad (Yum Nua) |
| Comments: | I love Thai food and have been to many Thai restaurants around the country. Tasty Thai is very authentic but also appeals to my American tastes. That owners are wonderful and make you feel like you are more than just a customer. Try the Tom Kar (coconut based soup), it's the best I've every had!!! The restaurant is also like a museum, with so many decorations imported from Thailand. I am not kidding, this is a really great restaurant! |

| Comments: | There are several good Thai restaurants in KC, but I think Tasty Thai is the best over all. The menu is quite varied, and I've never been with anyone who disliked what they ordered. As with a lot of Thai food, be careful before you order anything "hot," because they mean business. The fried taro root starter is an excellent first course. |

| Comments: | My wife and I eat at Tasty Thai about once a week, only because she won't let me go more often! I love the food, the service and the ambience is a nice break from the overly decorated chain restaurants. It is always quiet and relaxing to eat there and the price for lunch or dinner is just right. The portions are generous and the selection is very good. I have never had a bad meal and everyone I take enjoys the food. If you ask for Thai hot, you will get all that you asked for. I love this restaurant and will miss it when I transfer. |

| Comments: | I bet one of our few date nights away from my 4 month old on this place. Boy did I hit a home run, it was so great!! The food was very fresh and the flavor was infused into the entire dish. Service was very fast and friendly. The prices were excelent, I spent $30 on a dinner for two, that was with two appetizers and two drinks. The restraunt is tastfully decorated, we ate earily and there was no one else in the restraunt. |

| Comments: | The owner's son was our waiter and the owner, herself, greeted each table and introduced herself. She suggested items that were very good and recommended a pastry-like dessert that was to die for! The location is convenient and much larger than I expected. I will go back many, many times in the future. |
