Hidden gem alert — some of the best Thai food I’ve had anywhere!
I was in Bowling Green on business and was honestly surprised by how many different ethnic restaurants there are here — Asian, Hispanic, African — such a fun mix for a smaller city. I ended up at Asian Kitchen Thai & Lao Food, and wow… what a find. I wish I lived closer because I’d be here almost every day.
The Vibe: Asian Kitchen sits in a small strip center and only has a couple of tables inside, which tells me most of their business is takeout — probably 99%. It’s simple and unpretentious, but very clean and well-kept.
Service: This is where the place really shines. The owner greeted me as soon as I walked in and couldn’t have been more welcoming. We chatted a bit, and he shared that his father started the restaurant and he’s now carrying it on. You can feel the pride and care in what they do — it’s clearly a family-run business built on authentic recipes and genuine hospitality. Service was quick, warm, and full of that kind of local charm that makes you want to come back.
Food & Drinks: I ordered the Thai Fried Rice with tofu (stir-fried jasmine rice with egg, carrot, peas, and onions), and it was absolutely divine. Perfectly seasoned, cooked just right, and full of fresh flavor. As I’m writing this review, I’m honestly wishing I had some of it with me right now.
Overall: If you’re in the Bowling Green area or even just passing through, do yourself a favor and stop at Asian Kitchen. It’s a true hidden gem — authentic, family-run, and serving some of the best Thai food I’ve had anywhere in...

Read moreStopped in for some takeout while passing through town. Excellent. I got the Pad Kee Mow and some crispy spring rolls. The spring rolls were crisp and not greasy and had fantastic flavor to them. A bit of spice and just perfect seasoning. For the noodles I asked for hot and was rewarded…they were definitely nice and hot but again great flavor. Veggies seemed fresh and crisp. (If you’re a heat junkie like me then get hot but otherwise adjust accordingly as they are true to order).
Everything clearly lovingly made to order. Will stop here again when I’m...
