There were five of us eating there. My vegetable pad Thai was absolutely fabulous. The other dishes were very good. One of the dishes did not come spicy as directed, but she had them bring some of their specially seasoned hot oil, and then it was great. I had not been there in a very long time, but we will be returning and we do recommend it.

I've been coming here regularly for four or five years. The service is professional and, yes, classy. What I really like is that they have lunch specials even on weekends, with a large smattering of options guaranteed to please every pallet and every dietary requirement. There's also a handy glossary of Thai menu terminology, which is fun, informative and interesting. It's a big dining room and quiet, so that you can have conversations and just enjoy your food and your companions. As a vegetarian, there are many options, full of flavor and generous portions. I highly recommend the refreshing and delicious pot of lemongrass tea! Never had a bad experience; Try it!

I liked everything, but the dishes, as always, are dirty in this restaurant, but the food is excellent. I would advise people to go here who do not really care about the cleanliness of the dishes.

I went to the King and I on a cold Friday night for a dinner date with my mom. One of the great things about Thai food in general is that it's almost entirely gluten free (rice noodles as opposed to wheat noodles) and I've never met a shrimp pad thai that I didn't like. The scent of all the yummy food hit me as soon as we walked into the restaurant. We were seated quickly and the waitress came to ask what we wanted to drink. Mom and I split a pot of hot tea to warm our frozen bones. We also split the sample satay (skewers) as an appetizer, which came with 2 skewers of chicken, beef, and pork and allowed mommy and me to have one of each. The chicken was wonderfully seasoned and tender but the beef was a magical experience. The pork tasted weird to me so neither of us finished our pork satay. When the waitress came by to take our entrée orders, she asked why we didn't eat the pork. I told her it tasted off so she said she could take it back and swap it out for one we enjoyed. More beef please! For our entrees, I got the shrimp pad thai (of course) and mom got beef pad thai. Normally shrimp pad thai comes with noodles and peanut sauce and 3 or 4 jumbo shrimp on top, so I was overjoyed to find multiple smaller shrimp mixed into my rice noodles. Mom enjoyed her beef pad thai and asked for extra peanut sauce. Our noodles also came with rice, which I had never had happen before. The serving sizes were massive and we definitely had left overs. I had a great experience at the King & I and I would definitely go back next time I went to Rochester.

Walked in on a Tuesday night and the place was pretty busy which was a good sign. Our apps came out fast and the entree was out shortly after. We started off with chicken satay and fried shrimp rolls. The chicken satay was SO good, perfectly cooked, juicy chicken bites on a stick with peanut sauce. I could have eaten just that as an entree it was so good. The rolls were decent and comparable to anywhere else you would go to get a spring roll. For our entree (which is probably enough food for 3 people) we got the shrimp phat see eeu. Ummmm YUM. This was delicious, loaded with shrimp and had all the perfect garlicky Thai flavors. My one year old even ate the leftovers it was so good. All this food for $30 and speedy, friendly service. I will 10000% come back and this will definitely be a new go to. I gave 4 stars because I think the place could be a little cleaner. Other than that, we really enjoyed ourselves.

I will start this as I always do by saying I do not give up five stars unless I am really blown away. I come here often. The food is always good. Service is quick. The ambience could be updated. This would be a 3 1/2 star for me, but since I can't do that, I give it for. I'd like to come in for lunch. Prices are OK and again the food has always been excellent.

My friend and I ordered takeout over the phone from here on a Tuesday evening. We were told the food would be ready in about 20 minutes, and it was ready for us when we arrived. We did have to wait a bit to pay as they were busy when we arrived. We ordered the Tofu Chuchee and the vegetarian Pad See Ew. Both dishes were delicious, and I would order them again. I'll need to come back and dine in.

Still great. Still fast. I wanted the sweet rice with mango yesterday. There was no mango but they put mango custard instead... not the same. At all. But still pretty good. Generally speaking, this is not the kind of restaurant you want if you prefer a smiley waitstaff. The folks here are efficient and to the point. And they might be cleaning peas at a time next to you. If you're not into that, this place ain't for you.
