Kinnaree Thai Cuisine, Joplin MO

Food was great. Service was great. Authentic establishment. Food had a little too much salt but that's a simple request. I will be back.

Staff was friendly but the food was very undesirable. It was ramen noodles, undercooked vegetables and no heat or flavor.

Came in and ordered the Pad Thai, I’m not an expert but that didn’t taste like any pad Thai I’ve ever had. Spring rolls were just cabbage.

Level 2 spice is not edible, ate it because I paid for it. Burns your lips, burns your stomach for 2 days, caused horrible stomach cramps, painful exiting your body as well. Wish the waitress would have taken a moment to explain how hot level 2 medium actually is. Could taste nothing but hot. The Tom ka soup was really good and the iced Thai coffee tasted really good. The Red Curry was too spicy at level 2 to even know what the food actually tastes like. Won't be back. My poor stomach is still cramping after 2 days.

We’re regulars. Drive over from Oklahoma to eat here. Always fantastic! Can’t believe locals don’t frequent this restaurant more then they do. Much better Thai then any place in Tulsa.

I can't even begin to describe how amazing Kinnaree Thai was. Their food was every thing that other reviews had stayed and better.
I had the chicken green curry with #4 heat and my husband had Pad Thai with chicken and Thai hot spice. Both were so good and the heat was legit. If you don't like hot, do not get the higher levels of spice. The flavors of both dishes were so good. The soup was delicious and we also had the spring rolls. Service was great and everything was very timely.

5 stars all the way, the food is always good and right then in there. Have never had a bad experiments for time let alone food.

The service was fast, and the food was delicious. I had fresh rolls, which were AMAZING! The sauce they served with them was also AMAZING! Two thumbs up!

This place is always good. Anything I had here the make there dishes with heart. They bring the Thai flavors to the forefront. Each dish I have had from chicken to seafood is amazing. My favorites are the noodles. Just be aware that the Thai cuisine brings a spice punch. So when ordering request a 1 for starters.

There’s nothing like ordering a Crab Delight appetizer only to find there’s absolutely no crab in it. And when you ask why, the waitress replies curiously… isn’t that the same as every other restaurant around here? Okay, so I guess you’re asking me if every other restaurant around here lies to their customers on their menu. No, not usually! That’s not a great way to build rapport with people. Although there is a general “pretending” vibe in this area where we all seem to culturally agree that it’s okay to use words that we don’t really mean. Or use words to describe things that we don’t really serve.

Ordered the yellow curry Thai hot spicy did not disappoint, they always have fantastic curry.and they were friendly can't wait to go back when I am in the mood for curry.

Tamarind Chicken is off the charts.

I love this food so much that when I was returning home to Springfield from a trip to KC, I actually came home via Joplin. The tamarind chicken is one of the tastiest meals I have ever had.

Really amazing Thai food. Ask for the very spicy ground seasoning. The flavor kicked this into a whole other level. Very spicy but great flavor.

We all loved the food here. Lots of options to choose from. They're able to accommodate gluten free and vegan as well. Friendly staff and knowledgeable about ingredients in their dishes.

Amazing service! Waiter knew exactly how hot we needed and the food was perfect. Authentic Thai food, reasonable prices, everything was just perfect.

Cut to the chase: nothing less than phenomenal.

Understand this is a family owned restaurant in a strip mall, so if you want corporate imagery or subdued ambiance this isn't your place. But if you want good authentic Thai food, Kinnaree can bring the heat.

We converged on Kinnaree after Googling, "best dinner in Joplin. " Kinnaree was at the tail end of the top 10 recommendations. My son prefers Thai food; I like spicy.

We're eventually a table of 5. A round of drinks (with an additional iced thai tea) and two appetizers (the variety plate and chicken satay) and five entrees the bill came to $120.

Everybody at the table was pleased with their order and the taste of the food. As was I.

Service was impeccable.

My love for spicy-hot goes back almost 30 years to my first Thai restaurant in Seattle where a buddy broke out in a sweat on his scalp while eating his dinner. Since then I've been like a Don Quixote in search of a paralleled experience.

My family rolls their eyes when I ask for the spiciest item on the menu, but they don't appreciate the challenge.

Three bites in I realized that I was in for a rollercoaster ride. I've ordered from menus that offered a heat index from 1 - 10, but their 10 didn't phase me. Kinnaree offers a heat index from 1 - 3 with the 3 being the equivalent of "dialing it up to 11. " It felt like my ears had been sucked into a vacuum, my pallet was being excoriated, and by the end of the meal I was weeping into my napkin. But THIS is what I WANTED! As I finished the last morsels I realized that after pushing through the heat that there was a delectable flavor in the dish beyond the pepper & chili. Oh yeah! The heavens had parted. The following day as I sipped my plain, black coffee it tasted artificially sweet. Last night's dinner was a mind altering experience.

The food was absolutely delicious. A parade of different flavors with every bite. A little pricy but worth the experience! I will be going back.

I was a little confused about ordering but here's how it goes. You seat yourself and order at the table. The gentleman that takes orders was really busy so I had to go up and ask where we order after not having someone come to our table after 5 minutes. But it is understandable since they were so busy. He was very knowledgeable about what was vegan. They can make almost anything you want there vegan if you just let them know. I had rice soup and pineapple tofu fried rice. The food came out really quickly and tasted great! Everyone who works here was very kind, as well. A nice little restaurant that I will visit again!

This is my favorite Thai place in Joplin. Their pad Thai and green curry are my favorites, and all the sides are amazing! I think I’ve tried a little of everything. They always have some customers, but never keep you waiting. It’s a cute little place with very friendly owners and servers, and of course delicious delectable food!

I eat here whenever I get the chance. There's only been a couple of good Thai places in the Joplin Webb City area and happy to say this is one of them. This food never disappoints it's always very good, the people are very nice. I recommend the Thai iced tea, very good very refreshing. And I can also recommend just about anything on the menu. Be careful on the spice the top level is super hot. I like hot foods and I can tolerate hot foods but like some of the hottest foods I ever ate I got the level 5 once and my face was numb for 2 hours I sweat about a gallon and had a hard time talking for a little bit. But to be honest, it had some really good flavor!
