" This restaurant is decent, though I was hoping for more authenticity. The Pad Thai was okay, but it had a bit too much sweetness for my taste. On the bright side, service was friendly and prompt. I would consider trying other dishes next time, but I may explore other Thai options in the area. " (*Curated Review*)

" The ambiance of Kao Thai is charming and warm. However, my experience was influenced by the food not meeting the authentic Thai flavor expectations I have acquired over the years. The service was friendly but distracted. I might give it another shot in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointed with the lack of authentic flavors at Kao Thai. The food was far too sweet for my palate, particularly the pad see ew. Service was acceptable but did nothing to compensate for the mediocre food. I won’t be returning. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently tried Kao Thai, and I must say it exceeded my expectations! The Drunken Noodles were really flavorful, with the perfect spicy kick that I love. The service was prompt, and my server was very friendly. I can't wait to come back and try their mango curry next time! Definitely a five-star experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Kao Thai is one of the hidden gems in the area! I was surprised at how authentic the flavors were. I tried the yellow curry, and my partner had pineapple fried rice, both were delicious! We felt welcomed as soon as we walked in, and the overall vibe was super friendly and chill. We will definitely be back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Kao Thai has quickly become one of my favorite spots! The atmosphere is pleasantly quiet, which I appreciate. I had the Tom Yum soup and it was incredibly fresh with just the right amount of spice. The portions are generous, and I left feeling satisfied and happy. Must-try for any Thai food lover! " (*Curated Review*)

" I decided to try Kao Thai after hearing the buzz around town. I must say, the curries are indeed fantastic! My only complaint would be that my serving felt a bit small compared to my companions'. Overall, it's a great place, just make sure you communicate if you need larger portions! " (*Curated Review*)
