Milwaukee: The King and I Thai??

I've gotten great recommendations for my stay in Milwaukee, but no one has mentioned The King and I (I ran across it in a search). Has anyone been there? I'm a huge Thai food fan and unless someone tells me this is terrible or only so-so, I'm tempted to try it. I'm here until Tuesday so I have a few evenings to eat out...

    I'm fairly fond of the King & I. There are better Thai places in Chicago, certainly. But I found the food to be the best Thai I've had in Wisconsin on a swing through the state last October. They also will really make it Thai-hot for you, if you're into that.

      Thanks, all. I didn't get there but hope to eat some Thai food somewhere soon!

      I've never been to that restaurant, but I have a general rule that any Thai restaurant named "The King and I" isn't going to be good. No self-respecting Thai person would name a restaurant that. So far, I've only tested my theory once (in Edmonton), and it held true.

      But no harm in trying.

        I can tell you this statement is generally true in MPLS, though the King & I here does have a great lounge.

        Hi,

        I haven't eaten there. Here's an old review by the former dining critic for the Journal Sentinel, for what it's worth.

        or rather a review of one of their other locations..... They've been there forever, so they can't be horrible, can they? Let us know. Obviously, no hound has reviewed in ages.
