The Take
Order the Massaman curry or Tom Kha Gai at Kao Thai Kitchen. The Slop Score is 47.
House-made sauces and real coconut milk bases give the curries and soups an edge over chain Thai. Default stir-fries and apps lean on vegetable or seed oil like most restaurants.
Fusion sushi and fried starters water down the focus without adding value.
The Verdict
Kao Thai Kitchen earns its 47 with solid house sauces and coconut milk dishes that stand out locally. The oil reality and diluted menu keep it from higher marks.
Order the Massaman curry or Tom Kha Gai with rice. Skip the fried starters and heavy pad Thai if dodging seed oils. Slop Score: 47.
