Thai One On
Kansas
City, our oh so international home, is lucky to have a number of Thai
restaurants. You may not be aware that
one of the very first was the original Thai Place on 87th Street in
old-ish Overland Park back in 1991. That
one was founded by Ann Liberda (still there, though it has a different owner
now) but Ann and her family, having begun way back in 1987, are probably the
best known Thai restaurateurs in Kansas City.
So you’re definitely going to
want to try their latest endeavor. It’s Waldo Thai Place and Ann has worked
with son Ted and daughter-in-law Pam to open their newest on 85th
and Wornall. After a soft opening a few
weeks ago, they’re now fully open, including cocktail service. You’ll see some favorites and some new
things, too and items will rotate according to what’s in season. They’ll even accommodate special requests. The food all looks amazing—and it is,
according to the one dish I tried -- the
gaeng gai, which I can’t exactly pronounce, but it is a coconut red curry with
chicken and all kinds of ingredients. This is not a hugely fancy place, but
it’s a definite great, and welcome, addition to the Waldo area. The buzz begins
. . .
