Very friendly owner, with regulars that frequent, but there is better thai food in this town, in my opinion. Also note that the grill options like satay are unavailable since covid apparently

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

This is DEFINITELY a hidden gem! The outside looks like it might even be closed, but once you walk in, it's a cute little place run completely by the owners. If you are the type to request changes to a chef's recipe before trying it, this place is NOT for you. If you like authentic Thai flavors, cooked fresh by Ann herself, you MUST try this place!!! 😋 I had the Spicy Fried Rice, my husband had some kind of glass noodles (sorry I don't remember the name), we shared the spring rolls, and both had Thai iced tea to drink. Highly recommend all of the above and if I remember the name of his dish (picture will be added), I will update. Can't wait until I can go back and try the curries!

I have lived in Abilene for eight months, and I regret not finding Ann's Kitchen before. The place is small, but this tiny restaurant's food has not equal in Abilene. We ordered mixed vegetables with shrimp and a mild red spicy curry. The curry was so tasteful that we could identify each ingredient while the vegetables were fresh (some of the vegetables are grown by Ann, the restaurant's owner and cook.) We got to meet Ann, a lovely, joyful lady who is proud of her kitchen and heritage. I loved this place and intent to try the entire menu. By the way, the presentation of its dishes is perfect, and the portions are abundant. The prices are fair, and the diversity of their menu is impressive.
