Review from Missy C.
Fort Myers, FL
This us a small place but for the size seems to turn over tables very quickly.
They have 4 types of Duck on the menu and then of course your basic Tia dishes. Prices are less than $12 a person unless you order duck or the seafood combo meal. Duck is $14.95 and the seafood combo is $15.95.
I have tried the yellow curry. It's one of my favorite dishes. I have also had the crispy duck with Tamarind sauce that's a 4 out of 5 stars. The soups are excellent. We go for the brown rice instead of the white rice and it's always cooked perfect.
We have been here three times in just 2 weeks. For the North East Kingdom this is a nice Tia restaurant.
If your going to be a group more than 5 I would call ahead. This is a very small restaurant. -

I've gone a few times and local friends are regulars. Its good and some of the better food I've had in the area. Defiantly, good value for the quality.
As someone else mention the crispy duck is good. I like it, my friends love it. Everything I have had has been good to very good.
My only negative is I have felt rushed by the staff even when the place was not filled. -

This is the first place that my best friend and I go to eat when she is home. The food is CRAZY GOOD. We have always had attentive servers, but they also don't mind if you sit for awhile :)
Order the Thai Iced Tea. DO ITTTTTT. -

In a word: Appalling.
I have eaten Thai food across the US and Asia - it never tasted like Kham's Thai Cuisine. Kham's "Drunken Noodle" tastes like sweet-and-sour Thai spaghetti - what are tomato sauce and pineapple chunks doing in there? Kham's "Pad Thai" is missing the great flavors of tamarind and fish sauce that should make it the complex staple we know and love. And what is that pink-tinged pork in the "Pad Prik King?" I didn't order a Pu Pu Platter!
But that pretty well summarizes this restaurant - a feeble attempt to disguise ingredients and recipes from bottom-shelf Chinese restaurants as Thai food.
It's not. -

I found the secret to Kham's: their curries! I'm not a huge fan of their other menu offerings, but I was very pleased with the green curry I ordered recently.

Review from Dan H.
Saint Johnsbury, VT

All I wanted to do when I got into St. J after 36 hours of travel nightmares was sit down at Elements with a dirty martini and a hanger steak.
But no...
My dad pushes the car down past Price Chopper and before I can yell at him for taking me all the way to Lyndonville, he pulls into a small Thai Restaurant.
A Thai restaurant. In NE Vermont. WTF?!?
But, I've travelled with my pops through Thailand as well as China and India, so I respect his taste. Honestly, I was more worried about early-onset senility.
We sat down at a rather spartan table and I gave the menu a look.
First good sign: a well-though out menu with variable spice levels, nice selection of authentic soups, creative (though not overly-Americanized) appetizers, and a red curry that I just had to try.
My pops and I split a Sapporo tall-boy and waited for our steamed dumplings.
Second good sign: even in Vermont, this Thai restaurant came prepared with the Rooster (Sriracha hot sauce). If I a'int sweating bullets, I'm not happy with my Thai feast.
The dumplings were adequate. My dad's more health-conscious than I am, so we ordered steamed. I have a feeling that pan-fried woulda been better. The filling was certainly tasty.
I ordered my curry 4 spicy stars (the highest ranking on the menu). I should gone back to the all-Thai kitchen staff (third good sign, btw) and told them to give me 6 star spicy. I had to dump in three or four tablespoons of squeeze-bottle heat, but by the time I was done with my alchemy, I ended up with a super-tasty, yet delicate dish. Awesome beef.
So, yeah, my dad's stubbornness hooked me up with my second acceptable St. J restaurant choice. Here's to finding # 3 (I'm actually raising up a Trout River).
If anyone's got a suggestion, please let me know! -

Stopped by this restaurant for a quick dinner on our way towards Boston. Tired and weary, this was a pleasant surprise - a little Thai restaurant at a random location in Vermont. While this was not the best Thai food I've had, this is probably as good as it is going to get around the area.
We ordered the crispy duck, the pad see ew and the panang curry. Of the three, the crispy duck was definitely the one worth getting. The skin was crispy, and the meat was tender and juicy. The sauce it was in was fantastic. As for the panang curry and pad see ew, they were relatively ordinary - essentially what you would get at an average Thai restaurant.
Overall, this was a good experience. -

not the best Thai food I've had, but very impressive for Saint Johnsbury, VT! Fresh, tasty fare at a reasonable price. I was so happy to stumble across the reviews on yelp! ...something different!
The portions weren't huge, but very reasonable (I hate when the portions are so big you end up taking most of it home). The staff was decent.
I recommend! -

Best food in St. Johnsbury! Almost everything I had here was delicious (especially the green curry)! Fresh vegetables! Friendly staff!
-1 star because the jasmine rice tasted stale. Go for the brown rice instead. -

Great Food! I was just passing through town and asked someone at a gas station for any recommendations and he directed us to Kham's. We were very pleased with our good fortune, that day at least. Kahms is comparable to some fo the best Thai food in LA (Kuhn Dang, Chatsworth, CA) and NYC.

The food is good anywhere and in St Johnsbury this place really stands out. Everything was fresh, they have a fairly extensive menu, spice it up the way you like it (2 out of 4 was pretty spicy), our food was served quickly, and the staff was friendly and very patient with my indecisive family. It is a small place as others have noted and our pad thai was a little greasy, but all in Kham's is a nice little Thai oasis in the frozen desert of northern VT.
