50 Best Thai Restaurants near The Colony

“My husband has been to Thailand once and I have been twice and this is the closest tasting place we have found to authentic Thai food. It is not like traditional Thai restaurants with a spicy scale, as it is geared much more towards flavor. If you want to experience the spices of Thailand, and not just burn your mouth off, come here! We will be back!“

“This place got it right! Great atmosphere, phenomenal food and spectacular service. Our server Vacie was pleasant, attentive and quick. She recommended the Ocha Fried Rice and it was the best Thai Rice I've ever had. The hot ginger tea and seaweed salad was great too. Definitely worth it!“

“Food is descent quality, some dishes are bit more spicy even if you order medium spice. The drinks menu was not provided and the charges are very high, never seen such high prices for drinks, may be worth checking on price for drinks before ordering. It was Sunday night and restaurant was empty.“

“My favorite Thai restaurant!! Yumminess guaranteed every time! The Tilapia was so delicious!!“

“i have been coming to this restaurant for a few years and their food and staff has always been great! staff is always super friendly and attentive. food is amazing!! it has always been flavorful. i recommend the fried dumplings, black pepper chicken, lo mein and their ramen! the portions are big for the price!“

“Banana leaf Thai is the place to go! They offer amazing service, food, and catering options- my company orders from them regularly and the employees are always excited to see them back on our monthly menu. I am looking forward to using them as long as they stay open for business! Kameron and Steve are the best in the business.“

“Impeccable service and the food is the best! Highly recommend!“

“We had a great experience“

“Went for some Pho and was sadly disappointed in the selection here. I was thinking this was mainly a Pho restaurant and when I looked at the menu it seemed the Pho was more of an after thought. Ordered the beef Pho and overall it was good. The price seemed high for a medium sized bowl at $16 then $18 total with tip. If I’m looking for really good Pho I’ll stick with somewhere else in the future.“

“Cozy lil family run restaurant, food was plentiful & spot on w loads of parking, strip mall setting type, got there late in evening so reason for service rating, they were in closing mode but didn't rush me, will return!

Vegetarian options: I believe food can be made to order

Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly I'm sure but quiet, quaint place so no disruptive kids“

“Food is delicious...always fresh and hot. Appetizers are amazing, my family loves this place.“

“?Drunken Noodles (Pad Kee Mao) and the Mango and Sticky Rice are my favorites! I’m picky about drunken noodles and theirs was really good. The mango was fresh and perfect ripeness, and the sticky rice and coconut milk sauce were delicious. Order while it lasts since mango season is almost over. The host/waiter was very friendly and the wait time for takeout was only about 10-15 min. ??“

“We have been to most of the locations and this one has got to be the best one. For the last few times we have had Shreya, whom is an amazing worker that truly cares about the customers. She is very attentive and kind and really goes out of her way to make sure that we have everything. Her simile and personality really make up for everything and I highly recommend her to everyone. 10/10 would recommend!“

“Wonderful Hidden Gem !!!!

Was given a suggestion by a friend to give Bambu in Richardson a try if I enjoyed Thai food, which I do. Thought I would drop in for lunch today and found a "Hidden Thai Gem" in Richardson that everyone should put on their regular restaurant list.
Met at the front door with a fantastic greeter in a young lady that continued as our waitstaff throughout the meal and we could not have asked for better service - it was fabulous !
Now to the most important - the food, two dishes were ordered at our table and both of them went above board on appearance and taste. The first one was Panang Curry - we decided to order this on a spice level 2. You can order on spice levels 1-3. Our decision was perfect for our taste. Very spicy but not over the top that it masked the tastes of the ingredients which included Chicken,coconut milk, bell pepper, zucchini, kaffir lime leaves, Thai basil all swimming in a broth that was incredible. Off to the side was a mound of Jasmine Rice - our decision was to combine the two into one dish and what an amazing combination we achieved.
Our second dish was the Bambu Specialty Crab Fried Rice which came with just the right amount of ingredients of meat, egg, tomatoe, onion, and scallions. It came out as a fried rice dish that made a meal in itself with no need for any addition seasonings.
The owners of the establishment came over and introduced themselves to us due to the fact that we had been referred to them and they were so gracious and had their space so well decorated in the era to note not only present time asian cultures but past time asian cultures as well. The interior was very well done.
So if you have not found this "Hidden Thai Gem" in Richardson, venture off to the southeast corner of Coit/Campbell - trust me, you will not be disappointed !!“

“What a cute lil asian restaurant!

Loved the food menu and the drinks too.

We got the Pad Kee Mow, Coconut Thai Soup with Shirataki noodles, Spicy Thai Soup with Shirataki noodles.

None of the dishes disappointed.

The broth was amazing and the portion sizes are awesome?“

“If you are looking for amazing vegan options and Thai flavors, look no further! We tried the sampler plate and the corn cakes and wow…. the chicken will blow you away. It tastes so good with the homemade mustard sauce and light chili sauce. Everything was perfection, I will be come back and bringing friends!“

“Excellent food, great taste.“

“Delicious everything I like chicken curry puff“

“This is my go to Thai place.“

“The go-to for authentic Lao and Thai food First time? Try the pad thai or yellow curry. You can't go wrong!“

“the food and service were very good. It is a very comfortable place to stop and have a good meal.“

“We were in the area today and we usually do Korean BBQ but noticed this place and decided to stop in .We're Lao so always have high hopehopes for any Thai place and this place did not disappoint. the food was absolutely delightful and authentic. service was super fast and friendly. this is one of, if not the best Thai places to go to.“

“Good food, good people, and very clean“

“delicious food! great people“

“We had a great experience“

“I recently visited Black Thai Authentic Cuisine, and I must say me and my taste buds was thoroughly impressed!!! Everything I taste was full of favor and has me wanting more!!! Each dish was a culinary adventure!! And true Thai food!! If you like Authentic Thai food - Black Thai is a MUST visit...you'll find yourself visiting again and again!!

Try Black Thai and you'll Thank me later?“

“I ordered online for pick up. I have been to Zaap several times before but not this location. Pick up was very easy and everything tasted great! I got the pineapple fried rice and fresh spring rolls (which were huge!) with peanut dipping sauce.

Will be back for sure! ?“

“This spot seems to be more of a to-go oriented restaurant. Despite that their dine-in area is a pleasant place to dine at. The cashier who was working at the time was pleasant to talk to and gave good recommendations whenever we were unsure of an item or had any questions. Food was delicious, and the portion sizes were great. I’d say the rice is not the best, but it did the job. Additionally, the egg rolls were not worth the price…“

“awesome food and service“

“Very good service very fast food“

“The food is great here! I really enjoy their chicken fried rice! Their pad Thai is quite exceptional as well. Lots of good options here. Last time I visited their AC was broken and the window blinds were open so it was incredibly hot in there but hopefully that’s changed now!“

“Outstanding food, service and atmosphere!“

“Customer service was amazing, and the orange chicken I ate was very good. The orange chicken sauce is slightly sweeter and citrusy than a sauce you‘d taste at Panda Express, but I enjoyed it. I also loved the small size of the restaurant, and the atmosphere.“

“Absolutely terrible manager! Please avoid this restaurant at all costs if you value good customer service. I'm still in disbelief! We ordered around $170 worth of food. Our only mistake was sharing a few sips from my refillable cup with my friend. That's it! The manager overreacted, making a huge scene, even though I apologized and offered to pay for the additional drinks. We ended up paying for three extra drinks. I have the receipt to prove it. ** Yet, he still called the police on us! ** The police officer was literally laughing when we explained why the manager called him. Let me elaborate to make it clear that I'm not just biased against him. We were a group of six. Initially, we had a friendly guy at the counter who offered suggestions and helped us navigate the menu since we're not familiar with Thai food. However, the manager suddenly took over, removed the friendly staff member, and behaved erratically, as if he was drunk (though I'm not saying he was drunk). He refused to offer suggestions. When we asked like what manu is popular here, or what should we order, he said every time that thats our own choice. The waiter served our food quickly and then disappeared for the rest of our meal. He went out of the restaurant. The manager literally reminded us three times that the waiter was gone and that we should leave a tip on the counter for him if we wanted to. OMG!! It was as if it was a crime to start eating without giving a tip! When the manager noticed us sharing drinks from the refillable cup, he became rude and confrontational, saying it was against their store policy. I apologized and offered to pay for it, but one of my friends protested slightly, feeling humiliated by the manager's behavior.Then he got furious. He started shouting at us. We paid for the additional drink, didn't finish our food, and were ready to leave. However, I wanted to report his behavior, so I asked for his name. He refused to provide any information about himself or his superiors, repeatedly stating that he was the manager and the only one we could talk to. Then I tried to take a photo of him for our reference. He immediately called 911. He showed no respect or value for customers. This is not the kind of manager any restaurant would want! Absolutely the worst!“

“Took a friend for a birthday dinner, and this was our first time here. We had drunken noodles and red curry and both were amazing. Also had some fried dumplings and Tom kha soup. Also amazing. Fresh ingredients, and everything was great!“

“This was our first time eating at this restaurant. We ordered the spring rolls as our appetizer. The Spring Rolls were so tasty. For our main dish I ordered chicken Pad Thai and my husband ordered the Beef Lo Mein. My husband and I were both very impressed with the flavor of both dishes. The dish portions were plentiful for the price. We definitely will be back again.“

“My 2nd time there in a month. Amazing Thai food and friendly, attentive staff in a lush setting. My only ask would be that they play Thai music like Khun Narin or Cambodian music like Dengue Fever to compliment the theming and decor. But other than that, 5 stars!“

“Restaurant staff are very friendly.“

“綠咖哩雞非常美味可口，泰式裝璜優雅時尚，孩子們在這裡得到溫馨的問候，愉悅的氣氛的用餐環境！“

“Nice food Loved fried rice -Tofu“

“it was yummy and fast service.“

“the food and service were very good. It is a very comfortable place to stop and have a good meal.“

“Good food, good people, and very clean“

“A fine Asian dining experience near I35 and 121 business! I told them medium spicy and they delivered! Delicious! When I eat at Panda I need to eat the black peppers to get a sufficient level of spicy. This place, not so. This place is 1000% better than Panda. A slightly humble atmosphere but quiet and clean. I loved it! My new favorite!“

“This is a small but quant corner, you have a variety of stores Tom Thumb being one of them. Then you have numerous eating places like on the border, some kind of Chinese one on the same square as On The Border and many others. Plus you have Chase Bank. You can get in and out from three different sides, coming off of the Dallas Tollway, Parker road or the first street after the Tollway. Makes it convenient and fast to get in and out of there.“

“I absolutely love her cooking!! All the desserts are so delicious and the ingredients quality is great!!“

“The best Vietnamese coffee I’ve ever had! My wife and I had the grilled pork Bahn Mi, so delicious as well! What really set the tone was how clean everything was, and the gentleman who checked us out also checked in on us multiple times to make sure we didn’t need anything else. Additionally, he made recommendations after we ordered! Awesome experience!“

“Best pad Thai I have had in a long time!!!! Usually I have to add soy sauce or spice it up but not here. The pad Thai here is perfect!!! I ordered it last night and leftovers at lunch and I want to order it again for dinner!!!“

“friendly and delicous food... there are many kind of kid's menu too!!! Love it!!!“

“Both the food and service are excellent!“
