	+ ------ + ''2011-11-21 16:54:26'' [[nbsp]] This is a review I originally posted on Yelp: + + I agree with the last review-this is a "good" restaurant, the food is "pretty good", but it's very predictable, and rather bland. Rochesterians rhapsodize about places like this because: + a) They don't know any better, and + b) Their tastes are unsophisticated (hence, every restaurant in town serving "chicken French"). A good example: next time you are in this place, notice how many of the local yokels ask for chopsticks with their meals (the Thai people don't use chopsticks at all-they aren't Chinese). + + Oh, well, at least the menu doesn't include the predictable Rochester favorites like "General Tso's chicken". I guess there is a level of pandering that's too much even for this restaurant. This place is vaguely Thai, produces a reasonably nice meal (with indifferent service-I once had a waiter serve me while he was talking on his cell phone!), and serves you quickly. It's a step better than most other Asian restaurants in the area, but that isn't saying much! + --["Users/Alex-C"]

And Yes, BRING YOUR OWN CALCULATOR WHEN YOU GO TO THIS RESTAURANT. SERVICE HORRIBLE BUT THEY EXPECT 15% TIP ON TOP OF THE TOTAL CHECK AFTER TAX!!! The server will ask you to add more TIP if you give them less than 15%!!!! VERY DISSAPOINTING... --["Users/Bon"]

	+ ------ + ''2011-06-07 17:08:46'' [[nbsp]] Great restaurant. Food is delicious. A few things to be noted: if you are ordering from the Lunch Special, you have to mention that you want the Lunch Special item. Otherwise, they will give you the dinner menu and you will be charged more. They are a bit overpriced ($3.50 for Thai Ice Tea?) and the staffs are not the friendliest. I agree with Lnyxa to bring a calculator with you when you come here. They will calculate your tip on the spot to see if you are giving them 15%. We had separate checks on our table (2 checks). My brother was told that he didn't give 15% (he actually gave them 15% before tax). Lesson learned, next time I will bring calculator and will use that when I am at the cashier. --["Users/tomonika"]

Even so, i'm not someone who only eats at "authentic" restaurants, but everything here is uninspired and toned down. If you are going to americanize your food, at least make the flavors pop! --["Users/jberna"]

- ''2006-07-30 09:10:37'' [[nbsp]] I get take-out here about once a week, and the food is always good. I especially like that they are fast, even though the food never seems like it's been sitting around being warmed for hours. --["RichMulvey"]	+ [http://rocwiki.org/Wiki_Settings/Images?sendfile=true&file=talkicon.png] '''See ["The King and I/Comments" Archive Page] for comments prior to 2008.'''

- ''2006-08-31 12:18:28'' [[nbsp]] The fish options are delicious and a nice change from typical take-out Thai fare. I just wish the decor was bit more inviting, I usually feel like I'm sitting in a huge banquet room. --["EllenKelsey"] - ------ - ''2006-09-18 06:57:27'' [[nbsp]] Very good food with excellent service. They moved one building over to a larger space and it didn't affect their quality or speed. Always a good choice. --["ZedOmega"] - ------ - ''2006-09-18 08:58:18'' [[nbsp]] Extremely fast service, I often get my food in less than 5 minutes. Their spicy chicken soup that's (occasionally) served during lunch is to die for. Be warned the food is very saucy for ["thai food" Thai] food. --["TravisOwens"] - ------ - ''2006-11-08 09:50:37'' [[nbsp]] The food is good but it is a far cry from Thai. If you want real ["thai food" Thai] food...this shouldn't be your top choice. --["OneLove"] - ------ - ''2006-12-18 16:42:13'' [[nbsp]] the website doesn't work, any other links, I need a menu for takeout orders! --["TonyBurba"] - ------ - ''2007-01-11 18:04:37'' [[nbsp]] The food is great, but their website (kingandionline.com) is gone. --["JoelBennett"] - ------ - ''2007-02-16 18:30:53'' [[nbsp]] Never disappoints! I always find something good here. --["JoannaLicata"] - ------ - ''2007-03-05 14:32:23'' [[nbsp]] The new website is http://www.thekingandithaicuisine.com/ . Love, love, love the veggie options (but they still have Thai fish sauce in them). --["CharliWilliams"] - ------ - ''2007-03-12 17:47:23'' [[nbsp]] Ok OneLove, what would you choose for real Thai food? --["RichardSarkis"] - ------ - ''2007-03-23 08:06:08'' [[nbsp]] The employees at The King and I are magic. You order and they go in the kitchen door and right back out with your food. Great stuff. --["KimBee"] - ------ - ''2007-03-23 10:27:23'' [[nbsp]] Americanized Thai food, but still tasty, and the service is always exceptional. --["DanielMiner"] - ------ - ''2007-05-10 23:48:16'' [[nbsp]] RichardSarkis: - - I would recommend ["Esan"] or ["Pattaya Thai" Pattaya]. If you want REALLY good Thai food and you are willing to drive an hour, I would suggest Saigon Bangkok in ["Buffalo"] (and they serve decent ["Vietnamese food" Vietnamese] too.) --["OneLove"] - ------ - ''2007-05-17 10:39:17'' [[nbsp]] Tasty food with friendly and efficient service. A standout dish is the sesame beef - it's nothing like the fried chunks of meat that fast-food Chinese places call sesame beef. Also, they make exceptional fruit smoothies. --["EastSideStephen"] - ------ - ''2007-05-20 11:24:12'' [[nbsp]] Really great restaurant. Great food and service. Best when weather is nice when you can sit outside on park ave. --["JosephHsu"] - ------ - ''2007-05-20 11:56:25'' [[nbsp]] Joseph: Park Ave? Are you confusing King and I with Esan? --["EastSideStephen"] - ------ - ''2007-06-14 13:31:18'' [[nbsp]] The food here is amazing. The staff is always friendly and the service is really quick. I especially love the chicken satay and the pad thai never disappoints. --["AnneRimbach"] - ------ - ''2007-06-14 17:55:07'' [[nbsp]] Decent Americanized Thai food, served quickly. I've have unfortunately - observed some instances of the owner rudely demanding bigger tips from some customers....I haven't been back since. --["NathanHenderson"] - ------ - ''2007-06-15 11:08:23'' [[nbsp]] Great food with an incredible number of options and a decent pricetag. Especially good for large groups (using the little back-room). Service varies from mildly grumpy to exceedingly nice, though usually very pleasant and helpful. --["PaulArdis"] - ------ - ''2007-08-03 09:46:58'' [[nbsp]] big fan of their pad thai and seafood soup. Oh, and the sweet rice dessert? nectar of the gods! --["JuneSylvesterWales"] - ------ - ''2007-08-04 14:45:49'' [[nbsp]] I don't care how authentic it is, it's great food. My favorite is the Chicken Phat Phet. The service is what makes it truly outstanding - this is one of the only high-quality sit-down restaurants that consistently brings the meal in five minutes, no matter how busy they are. --["McgMatt"] - ------ - ''2007-08-31 06:52:23'' [[nbsp]] I second OneLove's endorsement of Buffalo's Saigon Bangkok (on Elmwood Ave.); outstanding restaurant that had food so good, the drive home to Rochester in the pouring rain was worth it back in November last year. As for King and I, I love Tiger, the woman who owns the place, and the man who works with her (don't know his name). They both remember customers and just make the whole experience of walking in the restaurant a welcoming comfort. The food is very dependable, and you can get peppers in fish sauce (nuc mam?) and the little dried stars to zip up the heat in your dishes. Just remember to ask for them. I think their hot and spicy lemongrass noodle soup is great, but I wish it weren't quite so pricey at lunchtime (something about paying $8 instead of $7, the old price....). A standby in our household. --["KatieSchmitz"] - ------ - ''2007-09-04 15:23:05'' [[nbsp]] Always come here once a week, if I could, and I am always back at work in time. Speedy service, and reasonable prices. I am gladdened at the variety of vegetarian options for lunch and dinner! Be sure to tell the server "how many stars" as to how spicy you like your food. 2 is fine for me. --["ChristopherLehfeldt"] - ------ - ''2007-09-27 19:51:53'' [[nbsp]] I can't understand how the author wrote "upscale atmosphere". As EllenKelsey pointed out, the restaurant reminds me of a college dining room: not exactly upscale. - - The food is not bad but I found one hair in my dish once and the sauce was a bit watery. Speed is not always a plus if it's a detriment to quality. --["AndreaCogliati"] - ------ - ''2007-09-29 21:08:43'' [[nbsp]] Even on a busy night the service was incredibly quick, maybe even a bit too quick. They turn tables over fast which is nice if you are waiting for one. once seated our waiter was attentive and very pleasant. Our fresh spring rolls were good but the wrapper was a little tough meaning they had probably been pre-made and sat prior to serving. We had the spicy basil rice which was very tasty, and masumaun chicken which was much sweeter than we've ever tasted anywhere else. My wife did not care for it as much but I thought it was pretty good that way. Not sure if that's how they make it all the time or maybe the chef was just a little off this one night. Overall it was a nice dinner and we will venture back again. --["DottieHoffmann"] - ------ - ''2007-10-27 00:50:43'' [[nbsp]] I bit the bullet and gave them another try. The tom yum soup tasted horribly premade - a suspicion confirmed by the waiter. The meals were alright - we tried the spicy chicken, lemongrass chicken and the (translated by the waiter) "drunken chef noodles". The first two were excessively spiced and there was way too much sauce. The noodles were alright. Very Americanized Thai food.I probably won't be going back there since there are better(in more ways than one) alternatives in a 5 minute radius. --["OneLove"] - ------ - ''2007-11-08 13:29:24'' [[nbsp]] Pretty good stuff, large portions, and the hot sauces on the table are fantastic! This place also has to be the most popular place for lunch in all of Rochester. Every time I go its jam packed with people. Still haven't had to wait for a table or long for food though which is great. --["GeorgeBluth"] - ------ - ''2007-11-10 13:55:36'' [[nbsp]] I love this restaurant. The service is lightning quick and the food is always delicious. The prices are really great, my husband and I usually get a couple entrees and some soup and spend no more than $30. --["CatMagro"] - ------ - ''2007-11-27 19:23:07'' [[nbsp]] I think the best complement for this place on my side is that I brought a friend from Cambodia (whose cuisine is very similar) and he said it tasted just like what his mother cooked. Be warned, it spicier then you might expect. All in all, the food was great and the servers treated us like gold. --["DaveMilitello"] - ------ - ''2007-12-07 16:33:23'' [[nbsp]] Today I went there for a business lunch and the experience was better than the previous one. Maybe because the restaurant wasn't as full as the last time: the service was very quick and attentive, as usual. And the food was good. --["AndreaCogliati"] - ------ - ''2007-12-08 11:12:52'' [[nbsp]] Like Andrea, I had a hair in my food once as well. - - I have been to King and I many times...maybe 7-8 experiences altogether. The food is good, and the service is okay. Sometimes the staff is a little cranky though. I recommend the chicken with peanut sauce, lar nar, or panang shrimp. Also, the sweet rice custard dessert is REALLY good. I rarely order dessert at restaurants but sometimes I go in just to eat dessert after I've eaten dinner somewhere else. - - Overall the King and I is good, not spectacular, but worth going to. --["RochesterCalifornia"] - ------ - ''2008-03-09 22:47:28'' [[nbsp]] After 2 times going with a group of 6-10 and having poor service and fair food each time, tonight my husband and I thought we would give it a try again. We were not at all disappointed! The service was excellent. Our server helped us out with how to say the dish we wanted in a very fun way (the other times we were treated like idiots and got rolled eyes). Our server also was very welcoming to my daughter being there and brought her her own water, plate and spoon (she is 1). The food was very good, it came very quickly but did not taste like it was sitting around. It also was a very quick experience, but we, in no way, felt rushed. I am very glad we went back! --["FranChandler"]

	+ ------ + ''2010-04-07 01:25:15'' [[nbsp]] deterioration is the only word to describe this place. The food is not like it was several years ago. The soup was bland and boring; the vegetarian choices on the lunch menu could have come from Wegmans. Not known for service, the waitress was plain rude. I received the wrong soup and the wrong main dish. The flavors are uninspired. If this is your idea of Thai food, please don't go to Thailand! --["Users/roadhog"]

The staff is always smiling and polite. One time, they just gave me their sweet rice dessert on the house.. a good way to keep customers happy. I like their Pad Thai, Evil Jungle dishes the most. But I have tried many others and they are good too. Overall, a nice place to just pick up food on a lazy day or even to bring people over for a nice evening of dining. --["Users/RocResident"]

	+ ------ + ''2009-07-12 14:08:03'' [[nbsp]] Okay, the food is pretty good, but recently the service has been so bad that I will probably never go back (and this is from someone who used to go once a month). The last time I went was with a large group and the woman (one of the owners I think) that served us was dishonest and cheated us on the check in numerous ways. She also messed up a few orders and accused the people of lying when they asked about it, and yes, OneLove, I asked for my dish extra spicy and I got a PILE of cayenne pepper dumped on the top. It was by far the worst restaurant experience of my life, so I'd think twice about going here, especially if you have a large group. If you do bring a large group, bring a calculator too, so you can make sure you're not getting ripped off. --["Users/Lnyxa"]

- ''2009-01-14 23:56:30'' [[nbsp]] At the request of my co workers, I went to this place again and was disappointed again. Why are all their sauces so sweet?

The food is always excellent - I've ordered a good variety off of the menu from the classic phat thai with chicken or vegetables, panang fish (a Lent friday favorite!), the appetizers are good - just close your eyes and point, and the mango with sticky rice dessert is also a treat. I also like the Thai Iced Tea. The service is always super quick but I've never felt rushed by the staff, they are always attentive and pleasant. --["StephanieTodd"]

We were not at all disappointed! The service was excellent. Our server helped us out with how to say the dish we wanted in a very fun way (the other times we were treated like idiots and got rolled eyes). Our server also was very welcoming to my daughter being there and brought her her own water, plate and spoon (she is 1). The food was very good, it came very quickly but did not taste like it was sitting around. It also was a very quick experience, but we, in no way, felt rushed. I am very glad we went back! --["FranChandler"]

My favorite is the Chicken Phat Phet. The service is what makes it truly outstanding - this is one of the only high-quality sit-down restaurants that consistently brings the meal in five minutes, no matter how busy they are. --["McgMatt"] + ------ + ''2007-08-31 06:52:23'' [[nbsp]] I second OneLove's endorsement of Buffalo's Saigon Bangkok (on Elmwood Ave.); outstanding restaurant that had food so good, the drive home to Rochester in the pouring rain was worth it back in November last year. As for King and I, I love Tiger, the woman who owns the place, and the man who works with her (don't know his name). They both remember customers and just make the whole experience of walking in the restaurant a welcoming comfort. The food is very dependable, and you can get peppers in fish sauce (nuc mam?) and the little dried stars to zip up the heat in your dishes. Just remember to ask for them. I think their hot and spicy lemongrass noodle soup is great, but I wish it weren't quite so pricey at lunchtime (something about paying $8 instead of $7, the old price....). A standby in our household. --["KatieSchmitz"] + ------ + ''2007-09-04 15:23:05'' [[nbsp]] Always come here once a week, if I could, and I am always back at work in time. Speedy service, and reasonable prices. I am gladdened at the variety of vegetarian options for lunch and dinner! Be sure to tell the server "how many stars" as to how spicy you like your food. 2 is fine for me. --["ChristopherLehfeldt"] + ------ + ''2007-09-27 19:51:53'' [[nbsp]] I can't understand how the author wrote "upscale atmosphere". As EllenKelsey pointed out, the restaurant reminds me of a college dining room: not exactly upscale. + + The food is not bad but I found one hair in my dish once and the sauce was a bit watery. Speed is not always a plus if it's a detriment to quality. --["AndreaCogliati"] + ------ + ''2007-09-29 21:08:43'' [[nbsp]] Even on a busy night the service was incredibly quick, maybe even a bit too quick. They turn tables over fast which is nice if you are waiting for one. once seated our waiter was attentive and very pleasant. Our fresh spring rolls were good but the wrapper was a little tough meaning they had probably been pre-made and sat prior to serving. We had the spicy basil rice which was very tasty, and masumaun chicken which was much sweeter than we've ever tasted anywhere else. My wife did not care for it as much but I thought it was pretty good that way. Not sure if that's how they make it all the time or maybe the chef was just a little off this one night. Overall it was a nice dinner and we will venture back again. --["DottieHoffmann"] + ------ + ''2007-10-27 00:50:43'' [[nbsp]] I bit the bullet and gave them another try. The tom yum soup tasted horribly premade - a suspicion confirmed by the waiter. The meals were alright - we tried the spicy chicken, lemongrass chicken and the (translated by the waiter) "drunken chef noodles". The first two were excessively spiced and there was way too much sauce. The noodles were alright. Very Americanized Thai food.I probably won't be going back there since there are better(in more ways than one) alternatives in a 5 minute radius. --["OneLove"] + ------ + ''2007-11-08 13:29:24'' [[nbsp]] Pretty good stuff, large portions, and the hot sauces on the table are fantastic! This place also has to be the most popular place for lunch in all of Rochester. Every time I go its jam packed with people. Still haven't had to wait for a table or long for food though which is great. --["GeorgeBluth"] + ------ + ''2007-11-10 13:55:36'' [[nbsp]] I love this restaurant. The service is lightning quick and the food is always delicious. The prices are really great, my husband and I usually get a couple entrees and some soup and spend no more than $30. --["CatMagro"] + ------ + ''2007-11-27 19:23:07'' [[nbsp]] I think the best complement for this place on my side is that I brought a friend from Cambodia (whose cuisine is very similar) and he said it tasted just like what his mother cooked. Be warned, it spicier then you might expect. All in all, the food was great and the servers treated us like gold. --["DaveMilitello"] + ------ + ''2007-12-07 16:33:23'' [[nbsp]] Today I went there for a business lunch and the experience was better than the previous one. Maybe because the restaurant wasn't as full as the last time: the service was very quick and attentive, as usual. And the food was good. --["AndreaCogliati"] + ------ + ''2007-12-08 11:12:52'' [[nbsp]] Like Andrea, I had a hair in my food once as well. + + I have been to King and I many times...maybe 7-8 experiences altogether. The food is good, and the service is okay. Sometimes the staff is a little cranky though. I recommend the chicken with peanut sauce, lar nar, or panang shrimp. Also, the sweet rice custard dessert is REALLY good. I rarely order dessert at restaurants but sometimes I go in just to eat dessert after I've eaten dinner somewhere else. + + Overall the King and I is good, not spectacular, but worth going to. --["RochesterCalifornia"]
