Thai Noodle Town — Restaurant in Kingsport

The location and building are hardly prepossessing, but do not overlook the cuisine that comes out of those doors. Thai Noodle Town is a hidden diamond in the culinary desert that is Kingsport, one not to be missed.

I walked through the doors of this humble establishment & immediately I was gripped with an overwhelming scent of aromatics, garlic, spices, vegetables & flame (wok hai) a very warm & inviting smell that filled the entire room. One would have to try very hard to dissemble their appetite. It was 3 p.m. on a Saturday and the place was packed, every table filled with eager customers and sizzling hot plates of noodles going out. Not long after we sat down to wait I was greeted by a man I presumed to be the owner and placed a to-go order of pad Thai and drunken noodles (pretty commonly known dishes). 20 minutes I was told, and as I saw more plates coming out, I had no problem with the wait. The staff were friendly and very hospitable. As time went by my son became restless from sitting and the man who greeted us was kind enough to bring him a cup of water to appease him. A very kind gesture indeed. More than 20 minutes had past, and that was fine by me, the aroma was far too enticing. Soon later we paid and left as fast as we could to eat it. My expectations were high, being that Thai food is not common around here, and I must confess they were not only met but exceeded. Every steaming-hot bite was saturated in the flavor of the spices; A warming sensation began to fill my palate and I was enamored by the complexity of flavors achieved in this small kitchen. Quite frankly, I was shocked that something like this could come out of Kingsport. I did not leave one bite remaining on my dish.

Needless to say, I will be returning to Thai Noodle Town soon with renewed appetite, eager to try more of their offerings. Now friend, I would urge you not to pass this place up, not to overlook it and not to miss out. But....that's just one man's opinion. Drop in and see for your self. Tasting...

My wife and I are HUGE fans of green curry. When one of our favorite local establishments opted to go more "American" with their menu and drop green curry and some other delicious dishes, we were disappointed. (PS they added meatloaf instead of curry... Seriously!!) Anyway, I was looking around and found this little restaurant. I decided to pick up a to go order for my wife. I ordered Green Curry with chicken (green curry, coconut milk, bamboo shoots, red/green bell peppers, and carrots). When I arrived, the place was full (good sign of something great). I was immediately welcomed by an employee and notified they would be with me shortly. I walked up to the counter holding my little girl and told them my name. While the employee organized my order and took my credit card, she interacted with my daughter complimenting her and making her feel special (MASSIVE customer service points). I arrived home with the food and immediately tasted the wonderfully smelling curry. It was terrific. It had great spice out of the gate and held a savory taste that made me want more. I KNOW I KNOW, I got this food for my wife Don't worry she was able to enjoy the meal, but those first bites were mine and I did not want to stop. Next time I will be ordering double. The only downsides were that they are not at an easily accessible location, and I wish that they provided more jasmine rice with the dish. Other than that, this place has my...

Went there with my family and got the duck curry, while sampling the other duck dish, the one with noodles, from someone else. The crab rangoons and spring rolls we ordered as appetizers were made fresh and tasted amazing, especially with the sauce they make. The plates are pretty fancy looking, which took me by surprise that the food filled the dish and not just the tiny place in the middle of a huge plate. You know, that common thing when remembering expensive food? But, I digress. The food was amazing and the duck is most definitely worth the twenty bucks. The duck in the curry was steeped in coconut milk and added a sweetness to the curry, complimenting the mild spiciness. The other duck was cooked to perfection, making it juicy and the skin crunchy, and the sauce they covered it with almost made me want to brush my teeth with it. This place also doesn't have fountain drinks, giving me a bottle of Coca-Cola and a glass of ice, but I have to admit that it was pretty satisfying pouring my own drink. I ended up paying 80 dollars, but it was...
