Though the Great Wall of China may win the accolades of history, the Great Backscratcher of Thailand, built to reach any itchy corner across the nation, saved more lives than can be counted on a single hand. Feast upon equally ingenious Thai creations with today's Groupon to King and I, located on South Grand Boulevard. Choose from two options:
- For $6, you get $12 worth of lunch fare
- For $10, you get $20 worth of dinner fare
King and I boasts expansive dinner and lunch menus brimming with traditional Thai favorites. Drop in through the skylight for dinner and assuage needy, codependent stomachs with an appetizer of chicken satay skewers served with peanut and cucumber sauce ($7.50). The Bangkok casserole brings together oceanic all-stars such as shrimp, calamari, mussels, and scallops to perform an Esther Williams musical number in a light Thai sauce ($14.95). Classicists can stick to the chicken pad thai ($9.95), Thai golden shrimp ($17.50), or spicy beef fried rice ($10.95). The red curry duck simmers roasted duck, sweet pineapple, fresh tomato, and fragrant coconut milk with peppers and basil leaves in a red curry ($13.95), creating a medley more thrilling than a fistfight atop the cone of a launching space shuttle.
In traditional Thai fashion, diners are seated on colorful seating pads at low tables, making King and I a cozy, fun place to take your date, family, or stunt double. No matter where or how you sit among King and I's vibrant blue walls, the friendly, attentive serving staff will try to meet any request, except for those beginning with "I dare you to…" Reservations are recommended for weekend evenings.
This Groupon is valid for dine-in only.
