Thai Diner

Was a decent Thai place, now even better. Lots of new things on the menu, the food presentation is way better than before, and the portion is bigger, too. Photo below were taken within the last two months.

For those ordering delivery: consider dine-in or takeout instead for cheaper menu price. Delivery platforms take a cut from the sales.

It has a very unassuming appearance from the street, but inside it is cozy and pleasant. The staff are very friendly and attentive. Tried the panang curry with tofu and really enjoyed it. Khob khun khrup!

Such a sweet place, nice and relaxing music, and awesome staff! Started off with an appetizer (Sweet Yam Sensation) and finished my night on the sweet note with the Thai Sweet Tropical (pictured)! Absolutely recommend! Delicious all the way! If you're a couple trying to figure out where to eat and can't stop asking each where your significant other wants to eat, I recommend Thai Diner! :)

We headed for dinner the other night to Thai Diner, located on 23rd St in a strip shopping area near Louisiana St. The dining area is small, but comfy. Mostly tables of 4 that can be moved to accommodate large groups. The menu is varied, includes lots of different appetizers, fried rices, stirred-fryied dishes, curries, and noodles. We ordered tofu for appetizer. It was excellent and was served with a lovely hot sauce, For main dish, I ordered Phad Thai Gang Dang, excellent dish of the Phad Thai with chicken and shrimp. My partner ordered Phad See Eew Noodles; it was freshly prepared with a good mix of broccoli, noodles, not excessive spicy, very tasty. The staff was very attentive and helpful. A definite place to visit for dinner or a meal with friends.

I just love Thai Diner.. So much so that I have got addicted to the food..! It is a nice little place with a good vibe, the waitress is a good lady always having a welcoming smile. They accommodate all the specifications in food according to my requirements. And the food.. I have started feeling hungry even while writing about the food..! must try basil fried rice!! Love the peanut sauce here!

Thai Dinner is a casual dine in, carryout, or delivery restaurant in Lawrence, KS that offers many options for gluten free/vegetarian food and the staff are incredibly friendly and accommodating! 5 stars, recommended. Top 10 for restaurants in Lawrence.

It was very good for a first time Thai food experience. Will definitely be coming back. 10/10 would recommend going to! The reviews did not lie about this place being good

Amazing Thai food!!! Following the initial COVID lockdown, thai diner had a change in management and their service was rough at the time. In recent months, however, they have fully bounced back to their fast service and delectable food. Also, their bathroom is the cleanest i've ever been in and it smells absolutely AMAZING in there.

The yellow seafood curry is one of the best dishes in Lawrence. The massaman curry is also incredible. Highly recommend that dish for vegetarians!

My now-husband and I love Thai Diner so much, we decided to host our rehearsal dinner here. The accommodated nearly 30 people easily and were SO polite and professional. The tables were set beautifully and the food (including gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan options all served family style) was absolutely delicious. Their purple yam ice cream is one of my very favorite desserts, and they made sure everyone got a taste! I would absolutely recommend Thai Dinner for anything from a quiet week-night dinner to a special occasion. Thank you!

Very good and very clean. First time going and now we will be regulars. Staff was amazing.

My partner and I eat here multiple times a week. The waitstaff is wonderful and accommodating. The food is amazing ! I also have celiac and never even a single time have had an issue with their food being reliably gluten free

Tremendous taste bud experience with the food. Excellent service with a wonderfully sedate environment.
Great for also calling ahead and picking up or for delivery.

We had Basil Fried Rice, Thai noodles and spring rolls. Everything was good.

Great food and service coupled perfectly with a quaint hole in the wall vibe.

Hands down some of the best thai food I've had in KS so far. Best pad thai. Good short ribs. Every other Asian restaurant in Lawrence should take notice ..

Great atmosphere, very friendly and helpful staff. And entree was delicious 😋

Fantastic food, good menu, very friendly staff and nice atmosphere. Only complaint is the door dash app chimes when a new order comes in can ring for an eternity before someone comes from the back to acknowledge the new order. It'd be great if they could move it behind the kitchen doors. No one wants to hear that incessant chime.

Excellent food, extremely clean bathrooms!

I really enjoyed my green curry (they are really good at listening to preferred heat levels and if you want HOT they'll happily oblige! 🤩).

I was there with a large group of people (11 of us) and the wait staff managed everyone beautifully, always there with water refills and timely service.

We enjoyed many of the appetizers, including the calamari, pork bites, chicken skewers and spring rolls (which were my favorite -- Crunchy, fresh and rolled up tight -- with a very tasty peanut sauce that must've been homemade).

The entire party couldn't stop commenting how good the food was. We'll be coming back every time we're in town!

Great Thai food in Lawrence!! Our first time here the food was excellent and so was the service! We will be back!!!
