“ We love this place!! My favorite thing is that they’re not afraid of spice, we usually have to ask for things extra spicy, but they nail it every time. Lots of great vegetarian options which is great. We order out a lot and they plate and wrap stuff up well. We really want to see this place do well :) The sweet rice dessert is delicious and perfect after a spicy meal too. I added some menu pictures, just because the one on their website is not fully readable ”
“ I am so happy to have this in our neighborhood! I have tried several dishes and have not been disappointed with any of them! The wings are so tasty, and have the best crunch to them. The Thai Beef, level 3 spice is so flavorful with hints of ginger and a spice that doesn’t overwhelm your taste buds and burn you up. If I had one complaint, it would be that I feel the amount protein in the chicken fried rice is less than what I would like, but again the flavors are outstanding. I think I might actually go grab lunch from them now! ”
“ This is authentic food. It is delicious. It is made to order. This has become Our favorite restaurant in Columbia. And we like several restaurants. It’s very inexpensive. Service is excellent. They are so nice. All of their Dishes are customizable as is the level of spice. Once upon a time, we did not have this type of option in Columbia and I am so glad they are here. PS they have the best wings in town. Their sour pork appetizer is amazing and of course they’re spring rolls are delicious. ”

“ Third time here, and the food is PHENOMENAL!!! So grateful to have Khao-Wan in Columbia, but I'd gladly travel a greater distance to eat here! First time: khao-soy...absolutely delicious.

“ Amazing food! We have been here several times and really enjoyed everything we've ordered. Today I had Tom Yum soup. Very friendly staff. Super clean. They wipe the tables down. Highly recommend! FYI... Google says they are closed on Tuesdays, but they are actually open. ”
“ A gidden gem in plain view. Amazing hand-made Thai food. Welcoming and super friendly staff and owners. I had the fried sour pork. It was incredible. And the Thai tea, fantastic! I never had the sour pork before, wonderful surprise. Everything looked so good, and I would love to try more. Family owned and ran makes this even better. The restaurant is very nicely laid out. Spacious, but small. They get busy, so you should stop reading and just go. You can thank me later. ”
