The King and I — Restaurant in Canyon

King and I is one of my go-to places for lunch and dinner in Canyon. And how odd that a town of 15,000 has four Asian eateries! I am calling that a blessing in disguise, because I just love Asian food.

This one is a true Mom and Pop operation, and sometimes with the help of a young woman to run table service. I give high praise to the two owners for their steadfast commitment to being open and serving excellent fare. You don’t get rich doing this.

Tonight, Youngest Daughter had the Spider Roll sushi, which included crab meat, avocado, asparagus, and two kinds of tuna. The serving size was more than adequate, and she brought half of it home for tomorrow's lunch.

I had one of my two faves, this time the Tofu Pad Thai. This is my comfort food. Noodles, carrots, broccoli, tofu, peanuts, and a few other ingredients come together with the perfect heat-rendering spices to make for an explosion of flavor. And typically, that explosion results in a Level 1 response to Thai heat, which is a runny nose. Napkin, please.

Prices are very fair (we both ate for about $24), and you cannot leave hungry. Come here enough times, and they already have a good idea what you will order. We may not be able to communicate much in English, but food is the universal language, and I love what they're saying with each...

Our family loves Thai food. We didnt see this restaurant listed on google when I searched for Thai food. We went to another restaurant listed and left because the business hours listed online were wrong but luckily a very kind woman waiting on a take out order at that restaurant suggested we go to The King and I because they are open a bit later. I am so glad she did. The food was phenomenal. The service and the staff were exceptional and so warm and welcoming. We had a sampler appetizer, 2 sushi rolls, i had a bowl of phò, my husband had a fried rice entree, my kids had teriaki chicken, pad thai and pad mee. The menu is gigantic. Everything was delicious and cooked perfectly. The prices were so reasonable too. I couldnt believe how much food we got for around $110. Definitely impressed. We will be returning!

It was not very busy when we went, it was around 8pm though so i could understand, but i would really love if more people could support this business and keep it here forever! Very blessed to have this restaurant so...

The food is typically pretty good, some days better than others of course. My complaint is how cheap the owners are. They give you canned sodas and Sams club bottled waters, no ice, no free refills and tea with very small glasses crammed with ice and you get 1 free refill. Went in this evening and spent $65 on our meal for 3. We asked the waitress if we could get some glasses of ice for our bottled water, she said, “Can I say no? Our owner wants to keep the dish count down because we are a small crew.” Haven’t particularly cared for that waitress as we have had her often. She typically wears hand covers which seems so unsanitary, didn’t today for the first time we have seen. The other waitress and waiter they have are normally pretty good. Would love to love this place but it’s hard when you spend good money for them to cut corners on things as simple as washing a...
