Thai Kum Koon Restaurant — Restaurant in Norman

This place is bar none, the best Thai food in town. When I got back from a month in Thailand, I ate all over town for something that tasted authentic to take me back to that magical place. Thai kum koon, hands down, is that place. I would eat here everyday if I could afford it, though prices are incredibly reasonable. I would try to get a job here just for the perks, but I believe this is a family run place, which adds sooo much to it's charm. It's always the same cook and the same service people when the owner is not there, which I've actually never encountered. He's there from open to close doing most of the customer interfacing himself. So I just try to eat here as often as I can. My favorites: himapon, massaman, and pad thai. Their mango sticky rice is also a must for me. I've been eating here for about 20 years now, and as long as I live in Norman, I will be a proud loyal Thai kum...

This little establishment is the closes to my heart. I have been going to this place since I moved to Norman, about 12yrs ago. The staff is friendly and is on a personal level with all their customers. I always feel like I'm at home, away from home. The Thai food is wonderful and is authentic however they know me. The cooks always prepare my meals the way Thai food should taste when I order my dishes. I'm not sure if all the food tastes that authentic, or if they prepare it the way I like it and I appreciate. It means a lot to me because I have days when I'm really busy at work and I don't have time to cook my own dishes. I highly recommend the lunch buffet and all of the dishes. My favorite dish is the plain sticky rice and a whole fried tilapia with the papaya salad....

First Time at Thia Kim Koon – Norman, OK Serving the community since 2001

We finally tried Thia Kim Koon, and overall — we were impressed! The food came out hot, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Here’s what we ordered:

Tom Yum Soup Spring Rolls General Chicken Chicken Fried Rice Pad Thai with Chicken (one regular, one spice level 3)

Everything had great flavor, and the portions were generous. The General Chicken and soup were standout favorites. The only small critique? The Pad Thai noodles were a bit on the mushy side — something we saw mentioned in other reviews. But honestly, the flavor made up for it, and we’d still order it again.

It’s always nice to support a local spot that’s been part of Norman for over 20 years. We’ll definitely be back to try more...
