Kung Thai restaurant and Takeaway — Restaurant in KwaZulu-Natal

Fresh and flavourful food with a nice mix of textures.

Flavours are well developed. If it says garlic expect to notice it. If it says chilli, be prepared. Most of the meals have the option for you to choose the protein, the starch and the sauce so get creative.

My personal favourite was the Kung Thai sauce. Let's face it, its named after the place, it's got to be good. Mildly chilli but I have also enjoyed the "Bun Mee" sauce before which is extremely chilli.

Staff are friendly and attentive. The lady who served us was very good to us, a friend arrived late, midway through our meals, the waitress took her order promptly and also rushed it in the kitchen without us asking, within 10 minutes we all ate our meals together.

There's a fair amount of vegetarian dishes on the menu. I sampled some of my friends food and found both of the days orders to be quite enjoyable.

Food prices are a bit steep, expect to pay around R250 per adult inclusive of a few drinks. Both times I ate here I didn't mind paying this because I was so satisfied with the food. Portion sizes are also good.

Wish I had taken photos of my food before we started eating. Below is a photo of the...

AMAZING FOOD

We had the crispy wontons which were delicious, the filling tasted super fresh (not fishy) and the sauce served with it was so delicious. We also ordered the I also had the paa chu which were donut shaped tapas with a prawn and crab filling as well coated with panko and deep fried. They were also very crispy, cooked to perfection and seasoned well.

For mains I had the vegetarian wok fried dish with the bamboo shoots, basil and mild chilli. The bamboo shoots were absolutely fantastic, I enjoyed the textures and the veg were cooked perfectly, none were overcooked. The broth was lovely and thick and the best I've had from any Thai place so far (I mixed in some of the sauce that came with the wontons and that took it to the next level for me by adding a bit of sweetness). I had it with the egg noodles. The veg noodles had also had tofu which I hadn't had before so it was exciting to be able to try it.

The prices are very reasonable and the portions are well worth it.

Will definitely be back...

It has been eons since I’ve considered to post a review on any venue, Lo and behold, KUNG THAI is so deserving of the absolute praise I wish to convey. I’ve tasted authentic cuisine from my visits to Thailand and actually thrilled to find the true flavour available at KUNG THAI. The staff are ever so friendly and attentive to the customers needs, be it from the serviettes to the final takeaway provided. I must commend the Chef who is easily visible at kitchen dedicated and working her magic to insure that only quality and delicious dishes are served. Also the gentleman owner took the time to greet each guest and enquire about the meal chosen. This restaurant is truly a gem that shines so magnificently and I wish that they continue with the amazing dishes and wonderful service provided. Khop Khun Khrap, KUNG THAI. Ahaan...
