Silk Thai Cuisine

"The food here is always amazing. It is easily my favorite Thai restaurant around in the Polk County area. The waiter that served us though was very strange and rude. When he took our order, my dad told him that we also wanted an appetizer of the lettuce wraps in addition to our entrees we were all having. In response to this, the waiter gave us this weird look then proceeded to say “that’s a lot of food, you sure you can eat all that?”. I’m sorry, but I think that’s totally inappropriate to say when a person is ordering. Later on, my mom asked for a Thai iced tea. Again, he made a weird comment and said “That’s gonna charge you extra”. I have never seen this guy before waiting on people. He was originally cleaning tables whenever I saw him there and came in to get food. I don’t know who decided to choose this guy to be a waiter, but they made a bad choice. He was extremely rude!"

"I LOVE Silk Thai. Do not sleep on this place bc the food is fantastic. Everything - from taste, texture, freshness and choices. I haven't ordered one thing yet that I did not enjoy. The ambiance is peaceful, simple, clean. Service is great. The owner always seems to be working and she's very attentive to everyone in her care. It's located right on main street amongst the cute shops and local shops. Great for dining alone, with another or a group."

"Prompt, friendly service in a nicely appointed location in downtown Independence. The food was excellent. We had the crispy duck curry, pad see ew, and the Thai basil chicken. All were delicious with the right amount of spice."

"Burst of flavors! Remind me of comfort food from my home country. I ordered mango fish salad, eggplant basil and noodles with crispy duck. All is delicious! The salad dish is my most favorite, the bite size fish is crispy fried, the fresh garden salad coated with aromatic chilli and lime sauce, well balanced with sweet and juicy mango pieces. For pad eggplant and basil, everything is cooked perfectly. This dish is a bit too sweet for my taste but my son ate to the very last bite. Wide rice noodles and crispy duck is my son’ s must-have, we called to make sure they have this particular dish, and yes, it’s the best! The duck was juicy inside and super crispy on the outside, serving on top of garlic and soy sauce rice sautéed noodles. My boy said he wanted to go back for this yummy dish soon. On top of serving authentic delicious Thai food, the servers of this place were friendly and accommodating. I love their Thai hospitality."

"I had many recommendations for Silk Thai Cuisine but personally I just did not find it very good. I had the pad thai and it was way too over seasoned with lime making it taste very sweet. I ordered tempura in addition because I wasn't feeling the pad Thai and the tempura was extremely bland. My friend ordered salad wraps that were okay but also bland. She had one of their soups (I forget which one) and it was okay. Service was good and they seemed very busy with take out orders so maybe it's just an acquired taste but it's not for me."
