The Northeast Kingdom is not known for its extensive dining options. When people tire of the same old meat and potatoes, it can be frustrating to find something different. Kham's Thai cuisine in St. J is a great option for someone looking to have a change of pace in dining.
The restaurant is on the small side, however its size and light colored walls give the dining area a welcoming vibe. Atmosphere receives an 8/10. The menu contains a substantial variety of dishes from the far east, including everything from the ever-popular wonton soup to dumplings and noodles. The menu is a 9/10. For starters, a bowl of Tom Yum soup proved to be as spicy as expected, with shrimp and mushrooms creating an interesting mix of flavors. Chicken dumplings were decent, however they lacked a strong taste and seemed rather greasy. Appetizers receive a 7/10. Moving onto the main course, a plate of drunken noodles sported various vegetables in a delectable sauce, containing the perfect amount of seasoning. Entrees receive 9/10. For dessert, a honey coated banana was very nice, and a strong end to a solid meal. Dessert receives an 8/10.
Service was excellent, as our waitress frequently checked to make sure our meal was going smoothly without being a pain. The restaurant was very clean, which made the dining experience that much more enjoyable. Prices are fair, with soups averaging $3 a bowl and entrees ranging from $7-$14 . Portions are standard for any restaurant, as plates are large enough to finish in a meal, but too small to allow for extra to take home. Kham's Thai Cuisine is located on Route 5 in St. Johnsbury across from Pizza Hut and near Price Chopper.
Service, portions, value, cleanliness, and location receive a combined score of 41 out of 50. Kham's Thai Cuisine receives an overall score of 82 out of 100, for a B-. Kham's makes the grade and is certainly a great choice for anyone desiring some scrumptious Asian food.
