Thai Place — Restaurant in Overland Park

Consistently high quality food. They have a great lunch special, with discounted prices, and your meal comes with soup or salad and two crab rangoons. I went to lunch and asked if I could substitute my soup/salad option with more crab rangoons and they obliged, that is the kind of service you can expect. They will give you the spice level you ask for, so if it's your first time go with a more mild level of spice, they are happy to add more spice for you if you don't find it spicy enough. My favorites: beef pad thai with a spice level between medium +, and hot. Their Volcano soup is the best Tom Yum I've ever had, and I enjoy thai hot spice level with that dish. The soup is big enough for a meal, and I usually crave it so much I get takeout Volcano soup about once a week. You've been warned!

Update: I have found going for their Tom Yum soup near closing will make the soup inedible and taste like dirty water, with a mix of soap. This causes the oil in the soup to rise to the top, and the aftertaste is simply foul. I can no longer justify the price, because the to-go soup is inedible. It disappoints my taste buds and my wallet. Furthermore they have gotten my order wrong on several occasions, #1: they gave my order away to someone with a similar sounding name... and remade mine when I showed up for pick up (that poor man received Thai Hot beef pad thai) #2: I ordered beef pad thai (Thai hot), and a full order of rangoons, only to receive an order of no spice pad thai and my order of rangoons. I returned after finding it had no spice at all (very odd for an order asking for the hottest of the hot) and they remade my order, but only made it mild- I just kind of gave up at that point and made it spicier at home.

I don't really understand how such an amazing establishment has fallen so fast. I just can't order from here with the failures due to the price. The price does not warrant such inconsistencies.

Up(per)date: The pad thai recently has been up to standards, with the spice level (Thai Hot) meeting expectations, so if I need a fix of their pad thai I will go there. However, on a recent pad thai lunch take-out order of crab rangoons (2 come complimentary with the lunch order without cost), I ordered an additional half order of another 4 rangoons, but did not receive the complimentary 2 rangoons as well ((I should have received 6 total- full order is 8, so half is 4 + 2 complimentary should equal (=) 6)). This felt like another complete slight on their loyal customer, was it a true mistake, or do they believe I am stupid?

Please bring back the quality, quantity, care, attentiveness, and prestige you used to guarantee! I hope I can become, once again, one of your biggest fans and rave about the Thai Place again! (You guys gave me many years of great service, so I will not lower my review, but know my review is not a reflection on the current standards of your...

I had never been to Thai Place off Santa Fe Drive before, and my friend treated me to lunch there on Sunday. It was marvelous!

I had the vegetable Pad Thai, and was really impressed with how FRESH all the vegetables were! They were obviously recently purchased (maybe even that morning), and stir-fried so they retained their crispness. There was a great variety, too: broccoli, onions, bok choy, spinach, and I'm sure a few others that I'm forgetting. The melding of flavors in the sauce was perfect, and the noodles were just al dente enough to keep their firmness alongside the vegetables. The portion size was just right, and at a very reasonable price.

The staff were all WONDERFUL! Everyone was very friendly, efficient, and worked to ensure that we were enjoying our meal. One of the servers even gave me a full glass of iced tea to go, when I left! I was especially touched by the care our main server gave us. I'm ashamed to say I forgot to ask her name, but she was the only one wearing a white shirt (everyone else was dressed in black), so she may have been the manager or owner. I recently injured my foot and was using a rolling walker and post-op boot, and she was very solicitous of my well-being. She ensured I was comfortable with the seating, and we chatted a bit about how I'd injured it (walking too fast on a wet surface), and she chuckled and said, "We have to slow down, sometimes!" She made me smile, and made my day. Thank you!

I will definitely be back to Thai Place, and I'll recommend it to my friends as well. Thank you for a great...

1st I have to say that I NEVER give reviews but when it comes to Thai Place I couldn't be silence anymore, they are simply the BEST THAI food ever!!! It's very authentic and the service is wonderful! I absolutely love eating here all the time!!! Me & my family must always order some appetizers that are the "real spring rolls (which aren't deep fried or anything like it) these are a MUST HAVE!!! Another MUST HAVE is the BEST ever Crab Rangoo!!! My family also orders it at night or on the weekends. This is since lunch time they give you 1 Crab Rangoo & choice of salad or soup but the portion is just a tad smaller really not noticeable at all since you will be full when you leave! This food will also keeps you fuller for a long time and it's just so good that it's hard to stop eating and take the leftovers home for lunch, etc. My husband and his co-workers have made this place, "The office luncheon restaurant to be at!" It's not really close to work but everyone agrees it's so worth the drive!!! I can't get enough of the *Pad Thai!!! *Now a note of caution, I eat it at medium which is HOT to the majority of people who enjoy hot spicy food! I've eaten the Pad Thai HOT, they couldn't bring me water fast enough to calm down the fire 🔥 That erupted in my mouth! My advice is that you should try it at mild then you can add your own amount of spices, if you ask for a spice tray. Otherwise, if you want to clean out your system completely and have a 5 alarm fire inside your mouth & gut than go for the Hot consider...
