Thai Kitchen — Restaurant in Lubbock

You have to love people who are passionate about their food and are working hard to deliver great tasting food with their community. We were visiting Lubbock and dan no idea what to expect. We pulled up to the restaurant and was wondering if we were in the right place. We went in and reviewed the menu and decided it looked great.

We ordered a lot of different menu items and were impressed with each. Most notably is the effort that they make to use authentic ingredients like Kafir lime leaves which I am sure are hard to find in Lubbock, I know they are hard to find in larger cities like Dallas.

We had the spring rolls which came with both chicken and shrimp. This is the first time that I had chicken in a spring roll, but it was very tasty. The spring rolls were served with a delicious peanut sauce. Next, we had the coconut chicken soup. This was a very traditional version of the soup and had lots of flavor.

One of my favorite places to...

Went with large party for first visit to Thai Kitchen. We were waited on promptly and they were attentive throughout. Favorite dish was Green Curry-$6.99-with chicken and vegetables. Red curry with beef -$6.99- also very good. I thought the Pad Thai was excellent-$7.25- though it was a little sweet for some of our company. Beef Salad-$6.99- had excellent flavor but meat was a bit tough. Ground pork Larb-$6.99-was good but could have used some chilis and more lime juice. Thai Kitchen stir fried noodle-$6.99-was very tasty, a bit sweet. Spring rolls were freshly made-2 for $3-and served with a peanut dipping sauce. Wonton soup -$3.50-was too garlicky for kids in group but the adults enjoyed it. BBQ spare ribs were giant with a good flavor. Overall, looks like we have a great new...
