One of the most mind blowing meals I've had. Scallion pancakes were scientific marvels??? Crispy on the outside and rich and creamy on the inside. Curry flavor was out of this world. And our server had great recommendations. Great blend of upscale food with unfussy atmosphere and prices - GO!

Four adults and a baby...tried several dishes. Dumplings were amazing. Best crab wontons I've ever had. The baby couldn't get enough of the cream soup. Pork belly was perfect. Had some pretty delicious drinks. Service was attentive and very helpful. We're from out of town but are thinking about moving to KC just to eat here again.

Solid place for Thai food. Honestly no complaints - the food was great, well made, and well seasoned; the service was prompt and attentive, even though it was busy, and the interior seating was adequate despite being busy. There's a separate area that you could sit at as well. I think my party of 4 waited about 10 minutes before a table was ready on a weekday dinner time. Pictures tell more than words could when describing food, so here's some of the different dishes we got. We had 4 totally different dishes, and each one tasted just as good as the others.

Super good and authentic Thai food in KC! So happy I was able to find this place! Everything we ordered was super delicious. And the service (Chase) was super friendly. Can't wait to go back again.

I can't imagine that it took me a while to try this hidden gem near Waldo area. This place is so creative with the Thai menu from south and north of Thailand and it changes every few weeks. Everything we ordered and got was excellent and delicious. The staff and service is best. Everything and everyone was great. Make sure you check with the server about some dishes because most of the stuff you see there is pretty new and it's sometime hard to understand how it's gonna turn out. I strongly recommend you all to go try this place. They have a beautiful ambience and a lot of seating inside and outside as well. This is one of the best times for you to go enjoy my evening meal before it gets dark. There's plenty of parking in the back of the restaurant as well. If you don't find something on the street go check it out.

Waldo Thai recently introduced their new concept of small plates menu which i was so excited to try. They will be offering these small plates with the menu changing Bi-Weekly to give you a variety of options that are more affordable. You can still order off their regular menu as well. Everything was so delicious and I highly recommend them the small plates are great to try a variety of items. Don't forget they also have happy hour specials daily I LOVED the pineapple chicken. Service was great, ambiance on point, food is fantastic

The food was really good, but be prepared to have know idea what you want! Everything sounds good while reading the menu and extremely hard to decide. The staff was nice but I wish they would help out with the menu since it was sensory overload when it comes to it. The inside was really nice and makes you feel like you're on vacation which everyone needs a nice out to relax. Will for sure be coming back

I Love that online reservations are available! We have been in the mood for Thai food the last week and decided to try this location out. Sooo glad we did! We had a difficult time trying to figure out the menu as it was using original Thai names for food and we are absolute novices. Our server was very helpful and patient. We ordered the chicken in lettuce wraps and dumplings for our appetizers and really loved both! I ordered the flank steak with egg noodles and it was incredibly flavorful with a little kick of spice, but not overwhelming. My husband ordered the seafood with rice (shrimp scallops calamari) and really enjoyed it. Can't wait to go back!

An authentic Thai place located in Waldo, as the name suggests. Asian food is under-represented in the KC area, although definitely changing, but this place makes a name for itself. Both food and service were fantastic. We started with the dumplings (sorry no pics), which were deliciously coated in that sweet garlicky hoisin sauce and a touch of ginger. We also shared the chud laab which was a take on lettuce wraps served with seasoned ground pork and pork rinds and sticky rice. So good! Other dishes we tried included the mussaman coconut curry which was so tender and the phad kee mow nua which is their drunken noodles. Everything was very authentic and perfectly cooked, rich flavors throughout all the dishes. 5/5 stars. Highly recommend this place if you are looking for an authentic Thai restaurant to add to your weekly restaurant mix. I imagine the food is just as tasty for take out.
