I moved near here from Thai town in LA but Houston has great food so I expected it to be at least as good. I ordered some takeout tonight and it's extremely disappointing, which sucks because I love Thai food and this is my closest Thai restaurant. The restaurant itself looks really cute and people seemed to be enjoying themselves so when I went to pick my food up I was excited to invite my friends. But when I got home with my food there were some issues. 1: my sticky rice wasn't included ($3 upgrade). That's not a big deal to me though on its own. 2: the 'crispy pork' that was supposed to be in the prikkhing was just sliced pork quickly stir fried in red curry paste (so quickly the curry paste barely even tasted cooked) 3: the chicken wings appetizer was cooked well but was super bland. I was relying on that to save the meal. I'm gonna try again because maybe it was an off night, and I rarely leave reviews, but this was so bad I had to...

Their fish cakes are so good and spicy 🌶️ I recommend their Tom yum soup.

Food decent, but customer service is horrible. Let just say some race of people are treated differently. Kitchen close too early of busy night before the restaurant close.

The drunken noodles, and crab fried rice were a little on the bland side. Pad Thai and curry was good. Papaya salad Lao style was not that good. The girls loved the Panang curry. The coconut ice cream and sweet rice with mango was terrific.

Had high hopes but the food fell short. I love my Tom Yums and that is the deciding factor… but it was too intense and the chicken was weird boiled dropped in with mushrooms. The protien didn’t have any taste and i ate the soup for its heat and i was hungry. Satay was okay… chicken has nice flavouring but the texture was a bit weird… the portions sizes are okay for the price they charge, it could be a bit more. Overall satisfactory food not sure if I will be back again. Maybe during a happy hour.

Very cozy eatery here.
Dish portion is not very large, but good to share and try more options here. Price is quite fair considering under this inflation era.

Wife and I met some friends here for dinner last night. Food was pretty good. I just wish the portion sizes we had were bigger. Service could have been much better.

Legit Thai at good value. Authentic flavors, large portions at a decent price. Great for family or a group of friends.

The service was attentive and friendly. They take your order on their iPads and walk you through all the options. Most dishes can be customized with your choice of protein for no cost. No up charge for beef or shrimp. How crazy is that.

The Houston restaurant week menu is an even better deal for only $39. You can choose from many of their full sized appetizers, entrees and desserts. We got the beef satay which comes in large serving dish and was tender and flavorful. We also got the chicken wings which were also tender and flavorful. They came in a deep bowl so they stayed nice and hot. We got both the Tom yum and Tom kha soups with shrimp. Both were large portions and authentic flavors. The third course we got the Crying Tiger, Pad See Ew and Massaman Curry. All were ginormous portions. The ribeye was very flavorful and tender, but a bit fatty. I don't mind since it's a ribeye but others may not want the fat and grizzle. All the desserts were good, but we liked the coconut ice cream the best. The Mango shaved Ice was also very good. The Thai style shaved ice is more traditional but less popular with the kids.

Parking is a bit of a challenge sometimes because of the other popular restaurants next door.

One of the most authentic Thai foods you can find in H town. The only thing I dislike is the tight parking and they close on Sunday.

It has been a year since I last visited. The inside dining area still looks the same with roughly 14 dining tables/booths that seats 2-4 people. There is also an outside covered dining patio. We were seated inside for a party of three. It felt like we were dining in an igloo at 60 degrees. Be sure to bring a light jacket or ask for patio seating if you get cold easily like we do.

I noted that the menu has been updated, more variety including a special menu item - boat noodle soup $16 where you can choose pork or beef for an extra $2. It tastes great, even cane with a side of crispy pork skin and a spicy dipping sauce. The salmon rolls and Thai sausage were great starters. The pad see ew and the Rim Tanon noodle soup are both good too.

Service was quick for seating and getting our orders placed. It took a while to get someone’s attention for the latter part of our dining experience, to ask for a to-go box and to order desserts, to get our check along with a refill on water. Restrooms are clean. Parking here is limited with another restaurant and bar in the same lot so carpool if possible.
