Review by Creola Ankunding

September 27, 2024

Waldo Thai is a delightful find in Kansas City! 🌟 The ambiance strikes a cozy balance between casual and trendy, perfect for a lunch break or a laid-back dinner.

I tried the Tom Yum soup and the pumpkin coconut curry - both rich in flavor, though the curry could use a bit more meat for the price. The standout for me was definitely the roasted coconut fan dessert; it's a must-try!

Their cocktail menu is impressive too; I couldn't resist a second Mekong River cocktail! 🍹

Just be prepared for limited parking, but it's worth the effort for a delicious experience!
