Magic Kitchen

Chicken Pad Thai…. It isn’t the fancier looking but it is full of flavor! The spice levels vary by the kitchen staff. I normally get extra spicy but on occasion it gets extra extra spicy. Other can’t miss items are the Red Curry Beef (no coconut milk), chili paste beef/chicken, Bume Noodle Soup or Dry.

I've been a fan of Magic Kitchen (Peoria Rd. And Lewis St.) since the 90's. Chicken pad see ew medium, bume noodle dry medium, egg rolls. That's all I ever order. Myopic? Sure, but it's consistently terrific. I moved to Florida for 5 years, and every visit back to Springfield, I would bring back $50 worth of frozen egg rolls. They are simply the best, along with the peanut sauce, of which is amazing. I have tried Thai at several locations in Florida, and it wasn't even close. Springfieldians have it made! I live in Alton now but I still get Magic Kitchen when working in Spfld:)

2nd time there cant say i will ever go back. If you are from the city you will probably be disappointed. But the staff was nice. The crab ragoons were hard and as if they were fried repeatedly. Ive had a green curry and pad thai that were pretty bad in my opinion. The pad thai tasted like funky pork which was interesting because i ordered the chicken version. Hardly any veggies at all.
