“ Stopped by this restaurant for a quick bite since we were hungry and looking for something fast and reasonably priced. The food was decent, but surprisingly pricey for a simple Thai spot, especially considering it wasn’t busy at the time. ”
“ Found my way into this place one evening with my family looking for a bite to eat. We all left happy and full! Now when I'm in the area I stop in for takeout! Owner and staff are very friendly and helpful. The atmosphere is relaxing and ambient. The food is phenomenal, made fresh and in a timely manner, so much flavor and you can tell that the chefs put love into their dishes! Definitely the best Thai food in the area if not the whole state. So if you like Thai give them a try! You won't be disappointed. ”
“ I've had really good Thai food here 3x, and just "good" Thai food here recently. The last time there was a new waiter where we had issues communicating clearly. I felt that their English comprehension was good but not fully fluent. And the food was definitely good, but not as good as it had been the previous several times. Not sure why, different cook maybe? I would definitely recommend this place, but not sure how emphatically I should recommend it right now. Previously I would have given it 5*, now I'm giving it 4. ”
“ I will sing praises of this restaurant from now on! I was pleasantly surprised to find such amazing food in Shelton. And after seeing how great the food was, I was upset to see it was very quiet inside. We were the first customers around 6:00pm on a Wednesday. That may be the reason, but even so, hopefully this review convinces people to try this place out. This is hands down the best Thai food I’ve had in a long time. Everything was so fresh and delicious. My compliments to the chefs in the back. Next time I’ll stay a little longer to get their story, but they clearly know what they’re doing. The winners for us were the Tom Kha and the chicken pad tai. Seriously, I finally found the best Tom Kha around. I would live off that soup if I could. The pad tai was so incredibly fresh and flavorful. The gyoza was great but next time we’ll get it pan seared instead of steamed. My boyfriend got the kimchi rice. He said the flavor was great, a little kick to it; exactly what he’d expect from kimchi rice. I know the area/location may be disheartening but please do yourself a favor and try this place. Once you step inside, it’s a whole different world. You would never guess something as good as thing is in downtown Shelton. Service was great too! Wish I could remember our servers name, but he was very kind and quick with our drinks too! The atmosphere was great. Cozy and inviting. Also wanted to mention that the pricing was great too! A lot of places overcharge but they charge a fair price for excellent food. Please do yourself a favor and try this place out. You won’t regret it! ”

The Pad Thai is perfectly balanced, and the Green Curry is rich and flavorful. The ambiance is cozy, and the staff are incredibly welcoming. Shelton Kitchen is a highly recommended spot for Thai food lovers—don’t miss out on this gem! ”
“ Where do I begin?!? 10/10 would recommend. We have eaten here multiple times now and have sampled a wide variety of the menu. The chili duck is outstanding! Perfectly cooked. Outstanding flavor. The Tiger Tear Beef, also outstanding, again the beef was perfectly cooked. The crab Rangoon are the best around and the chicken satay is delicious. The hot basil fried rice is a go to if I can’t decide what to try. As a bonus treat the Thai Iced Tea is so yummy. To sum it up, fresh and flavorful every time! ”
“ Delicious Thai food right in the center of Shelton. The staff was very helpful, very knowledgeable about the menu, and very prompt with their service. There was no difficulty making out the vegan/vegetarian options. They were happy to help me modify certain items as well. I highly recommend stopping in here it’s at craving for Thai food hits you while you’re here! ”
“ Everything was great the host was super sweet and attentive. The food felt like home. Almost as if you went to their house and their mom or grandma cooked an authentic Thai dish! The Mataman Curry was out of this world giving that cozy feel when you have a bite. Having the pineapple fried rice felt like I was the mouse in ratatouille who had the cheese and strawberry. Because I was able to enjoy the raisins, cashews, curry spice, and all the flavors in one rice. I added chicken which made it even more tasteful. It was a great combo of salty and sweet. ”
