Chen Vuong Thai — Restaurant in Four Corners States

I know you wouldn't expect to get this type of food in this type of area, but trust me, it is worth your stop. My wife and I were driving to Alabama and were so surprised by the reviews that other people left so we decided to stop, and see what all the fuss was about and we sure were happy about it. Here's my basic rundown of the place: Ambiance (basic, nothing fancy but set the mood, they had 3 tvs playing the big game for that night) Portion size: I'm NOT a small guy and I couldn't finish my meal. They were a bit skimpy on the rice so be ready to ask for a couple extra orders if you want enough rice to finish your meal with. Taste: Great taste...to me. If you are someone who likes a slight sweetness to your meal the curry here is phenomenal. If you are someone who likes heat, they bring it. So make sure that if you order something spicy that you are someone who REALLY like spice. My wife thought she could handle it, but honestly couldn't finish her meal because of the spice. Consider yourself warned. Wait time: The wait time for the food was relatively short. We did arrive right before the rush, so I can't confirm how things are when there is a full restaurant. It is probably a bit short staffed (1 waitress) but the cooks were pushing out that food and she was running around, keeping up with the 7 tables that were there. It was a seat yourself type of ordeal because she was running up and down the place. Cost: Decent, it's not a dollar menu, but you will be happily full by the time you leave so the cost to me, matches the satisfaction.

If you are someone who needs friendly, interactive staff, you will not enjoy this restaurant, but if you want good food, without any extra frills, this is a GREAT place to stop if you are passing through the area. If ever I get to drive through there again, I'm definitely going to make a plant to stop...

When I originally called to put in my order, I asked for “Thai fried rice with veggies.” The woman who took my order thought I was just asking if the Thai fried rice included vegetables so she said yes. The miscommunication was that I did not want any meat, but the standard dish comes with chicken and shrimp. Upon receiving my food, I noticed that my order was wrong, so I went back in to request that they make a new one. (I’m glad I checked before leaving!) Without hesitation, she took the food from me and went into the back to make me a new dish. I very much appreciated her response in immediately correcting the issue and did not make me wait long for a remake of my order. The rice was delicious with a little bit of spice and I am so glad that I made this pitstop on my road trip. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for authentic Asian food, including vegan/vegetarian dishes.

(I only gave 3 stars for the atmosphere because they are not currently doing...

This place has incredibly delicious food but unfortunately they no longer serve pork. Please support this business they are reeling from the aftermath of Covid19, and their food is worth a special trip. Also they're the only Thai restaurant within about 200 miles of Burlington, at least. Last time I ate there was last week and I drove 70 miles to get there, that should tell you about the quality of their food. It's off the hook! I always order Singapore Rice Noodles and this last time I got a second order of Thai Drunken Noodles for the next day. Both dishes were stellar. So next time you're in the Burlington/northwest Kansas area make sure you stop by. Further, due to Covid their dining room is closed so it's Take Out or Pickup...
