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

Went here for the first time. Ordered glass noodle dish. First bite I could not eat it. It was not edible. It’s beyond me that any one would think this food is edible oat alone good. To add, prices are not as they read on menu. They added $3 on top of advertised price on menu. Won’t be going back

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.

Best panang curry I have ever tasted! Be sure to chat with “Ou” while dining at Ann’s Thai Kitchen- you will have a new friend for life!

OMG! Ann’s Tom Kha is the bomb! If you’ve read my other reviews, you know that Anong’s restaurant (in Wyoming!) had knocked my socks off (that review has gathered the most agreed’s). Here at Ann’s in Abilene, I almost fell out of my chair tasting the first spoon of their Tom Kha. Rich, aromatic and complex; Ann’s has the best Tom Kha I’ve ever experienced. And this is from a guy who has been seeking out Thai restaurants in LA, NYC, Las Vegas (where I had the pleasure to sample dishes from the famed Lotus of Siam), Houston, Toronto, and Vancouver.
A good Tom Kha soup requires a fine culinary balancing art of blending 3 relatively hard-to-find herbs: galangal which is in the soup’s namesake (kha, a plant in the ginger family but its aroma cannot be more different from ginger), makrut lime leaves (most important herb in Thai’s cooking and arguably most hard to find fresh), and lemongrass. Many restaurants, and some recipes, unforgivably omit or substitute 1 or 2 of these herbs. But not Ann’s. Ann’s Tom Kha combines all three herbs in the ultimate balance that resulted in the most aromatic, pleasing and refreshing Tom Kha soup I’ve experienced. I ordered the combo proteins (highly recommended as it does not cost much more) and the chicken was soft and fresh, and the shrimps were big and juicy. I also like mushrooms and I weren’t disappointed: fresh and plumb mushrooms aplenty, in combination with a hint of some clingy green and white vegetable that I have not seen elsewhere but it gave the soup an even more fresh and refreshing texture. All immersed in a rich and nutty coconut broth that almost sent me falling out of my seat at the first spoon. And did I mention the classy presentation of the soup (and an accompanying bowl of perfectly cooked steamed rice that was soft and tender) in classic blue print on white ceramic chinaware? And did I mention the restaurant’s warm and classy interior ambience that is so uniquely Thai? And a dining space that is just right and not too small or too big, and ample parking spaces outside?
This is genuinely Thai. A gem, a diamond of a restaurant.
In Abilene!
To be fair, there is at least another Thai restaurant in Abilene, Krua Thai Restaurant. The reviews for that restaurant are also excellent so I went there a few months earlier. While I appreciate a-hole-in-a-wall kind of restaurant but it was a bit too raw and primitive even for me: There were few (picnic type) tables/seats and the ambience was zero and that also applied to the presentation of the food. I don’t remember what I ordered so apparently the food did not make an impression on me. This time I was craving for Thai food but I fretted about going to Krua again. So I went to Ann’s and boy that was the best decision I’ve made food-wise!

This place is as authentic as going to someone’s home in Thailand and eating with the family. I was so shocked to find that literally Ann is in the kitchen cooking everything fresh from scratch! The staff Ou was very friendly and knew a lot of the regulars coming though. My mom and I decided to give this place a try since it’s the only Thai restaurant in town that has dine-in. We will definitely be coming back here!

A truly lovely and quaint establishment. I am passing through for work and found them. So, glad I did. The food was delicious. The soothing sounds of asian styled music was softly playing in the background. Service was polite and prompt. It’s a small family owned business and it has so much charm. Would definitely come back if I am ever in the area.
