Wai-Wai Thai Place Express is the Overland Park, Kansas fast food style operation by the Kansas City area Thai Place chain of restaurants. Wai-Wai serves good, inexpensive Thai food fast. You order and pay at the counter, are given a class to get your own beverage and the food is brought to your table in under 5 minutes. I've enjoyed every dish I have had at Wai-Wai. I think I would enjoy the chicken laab (minced meat tossed with fresh mint, red onions, dried chili, scallions, cilantro and fresh lime served with fresh cabbage) more without the mint, but it is still good. And a bargain at $6.95. The Thai spicy stir fried chicken had very good flavor. It was not "hot" as ordered, but I made up for that with a few ladles of the "Thai chili's" in fish sauce, which heated it up nicely. There is a small sauce bar next to soda machines. The miniature garlic pork rib appetizer (marinated pork ribs, fried crisp and served with sriracha sauce) ais also tasty, but I would like a little larger serving for $5.95.
