Very laid-back place, very nice lady working there, and excellent food! So glad I can get something vegan that's so delicious, and they have several options!

Delicious and authentic Thai food in a random strip mall in a fairly small town. The workers were pleasant and made sure we were doing good and refilled our waters even though it wasn't a table service restaurant. Heed the warning for the spicy food!
Jacky Wong
Really great experience. Service is impeccable and the food was absolutely delicious. Had fried dumplings and pad broccoli with tofu. It was really well flavoured and the tofu was fried really well. Looking forward to returning for more items off the menu soon!

Wonderful Service and Delicious Healthy Options- I visited Khop Klun Taste of Thailand while in Charlotte on a business trip for a week and I’m so glad I stopped by. The cashier/hostess was incredibly accommodating with my food orders and went out of their way to make sure everything was just right. It really made my trip a little less stressful, especially when it comes to finding healthy food options away from home. The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared — truly a comforting meal after a long workday. I’ll definitely be returning the next time I’m in Charlotte! I loved the chicken wings here!

This place doesn't seem like anything worth stopping by, but it's very nice. It's clean, friendly, food is delicious. Seems like authentic Thai. Glad we made thar choice!

First time visitor new to the area. Love Thai cuisine so was eager to give this a try. I ordered the green curry. It was great. My only regret was that I wasn’t able to take my left overs due to my plans for the day. I hated to leave the rest. I usually get medium heat. After discussion with the host, changed to mild and It had some heat for mild. Next time I’ll do mild plus. Hubs tried the Yakisoba. He thought it was good. We both loved the Thai iced tea unsweetened. The hint of spice was perfect. Portion sizes were generous. Service was friendly and fast. Establishment was clean and inviting. Will eat here again.

Stop here for authentic northern Thai cuisine. The recipes are from the owners mother and some of the best o have had by far! I had Tom ka and hubby had bagolgi. We will be back for sure!
Heather Bass
We went here because of the reviews and I can tell you without a doubt that the food is excellent and so fresh. I have never had food so hot and fresh before. Even after I finished eating my Yakisoba the plate was still hot and the Shumai was delicious. If you are looking for quality authentic Thai food, go here and I promise, you will not be disappointed.
