Khop Khun Taste of Thailand — Restaurant in Shelby

I hate leaving bad reviews and perhaps my experience was a one-off bad experience, but this was the worst pad thai I've ever had. I travel a lot around the country and frequently get pad thai, and this was simply the worst bland tasting pad thai I've ever had. No sweet, no sour, no salty, no spice, just bland with a weird burnt taste, like burned chicken or something strange. I would have returned but was eating with others and didn't want them to question their food or not enjoy the experience. I ordered medium spicy and had no spice at all. Presentation of the dish brought me in after seeing on Google but was a big disappointment. Of my two friends, one said his dish was great, the other said average/good. Maybe I had bad luck. Prices were reasonable and portions were decent. It might be worth giving a try if you like thai food, perhaps it was just bad food...

Tasty Thai food, friendly folks. Crowded small rudimentary dining area shows that it is intended to be primarily a take -out business model.

Restrooms are available, strictly single occupancy, reasonably clean with hot water but no touch free fixtures. Overall, I found the food, though fresh and well prepared, to be diminished by a dining experience more suited for burgers, fries or...

Khop Khun Taste of Thailand in Shelby, NC is an exceptional restaurant that truly stands out in the community. The unique flavors and authentic cuisine make it a must-try for anyone in the area.

Though the service may be overwhelmed at times, the staff are kind and patient, and the food is well worth the wait. Our last order included the chicken Pad Thai and vegetable spring rolls, both of which were made from scratch and had delicious, bold flavors.

My partner, who has lived in Charlotte for most of his life, even said it was some of the best Pad Thai he's ever had. To fully enjoy your experience at Khop Khun Taste of Thailand, it's recommended to call in an hour before dining/getting it to-go.

Just please be kind and patient with the staff. You...
