Kinnaree never disappoints. I love their Tom yum ka soup and green and red curries the most. Have had them so many times but the quality and taste is always consistently top notch.

This little gem in Joplin is AMAZING!!! Got the Garlic Chicken & Yellow Curry for dinner. Very good. Spring rolls for appetizer (minus three forgot to take a pic before eating lol - comes with six). Highly recommend if you haven’t tried it yet. Bring cash (they accept all forms of payment but not charging the card machine helps local business)

I’ve traveled all over the world chasing the heat — from fiery street food in Cambodia to a blazing Thai joint in London I thought couldn’t be topped... until now. Who would’ve guessed the spiciest food I’ve ever had would be right here in Joplin? I ordered the Tom Kha Extra Spicy, and it blew my mind (and my taste buds) in the best way possible. The balance of creamy coconut, tangy lemongrass, and that deep, building heat was absolute perfection. This wasn’t just spicy for the sake of it — it was flavorful, nuanced, and addictive. If you’re a spice chaser like me, you owe it to yourself to try this place. But fair warning: when they say spicy, they mean it. This is next-level stuff.

What a gem! I ordered the red curry with tofu, spice level 4/5, and absolutely loved it. The owners were incredibly kind and transparent about the spice levels. I will definitely be back on my next trip through town.

Small place with big flavors. Got the curry chicken and pad Thai and both were delicious and spicy. Service was good and even the owner came by to check on us. I enjoyed having dinner here.
