    Tom Yum Soup
    Jando S.

    Anna Thai Food isn't just the best option in the dreaded Hong Kong City Mall food court, but I'm willing to bet it's one of the most underrated Thai spots in the city. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Buried deep into the food court, Anna doesn't get the same kind of visibility as other food stalls / restaurant spaces, but it still stands out for its unique exterior.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] On the outside there are Thai snacks and small items for sale, which is reminiscent of so many SE Asian food stalls and mini storefronts. The best part is the no nonsense approach to food. Most everything I've had has been tasty and they also really know how to pack the spice. I've enjoyed their pad kee mao, pad see yu, and a very fragrant tom yum soup. Their spicy and sour sausages are a hit and it goes well with their basil fried rice. Their pad ka pow might be some of the best I've found and their stir fried preserved eggs with basil is outstanding. I am very appreciative of their service and know the food takes a bit of time to make since it's usually from scratch. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Seating for those dining in is never an issue since there are chairs and tables all over.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Lunch and super early dinners are recommended since their hours are limited due to the food court dying down after 7pm.

    Sticky rice

    What can I say... I've been craving pork jerky and Thai sausage for years, and no matter where I looked, nothing ever tasted quite like what I remembered from Thailand and California. After eight years, I finally stumbled upon this place and it did not disappoint...From the first bite, it instantly took me back to when Steve and I would order these exact foods and just enjoy each other's company over something simple and comforting. Food holds memories, and this place brought them back in the best way...[[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a true hole-in-the-wall spot...quaint, cute, and welcoming.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's a small storefront, and in the back is where they cook everything fresh.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Expect about a 15-20 minute wait, just like other made-to-order places, but it's absolutely worth it...Nothing fancy. No frills. Just amazing food, nostalgia, and that feeling you get when something tastes exactly the way it's supposed to...I've finally found my favorite Thai spot...They're a small stall inside the food court, go check them out. -- Pilgrim Sojourner (SD Mac)

    Gotta love variety and SO doesn't love banh mi as much as me (I know.. I know) so while walking through the mall too, we came across Anna Thai Food at the food court Pad Thai - savory , sweet and super fresh ingredients, I highly recommend Wishing I chilled with the banh mi because Anna Thai is a one to two persons operation and I would've loved to support her even more by ordering several dishes. Owner was super nice and friendly too. Hoping to visit Anna Thai again in the near future!

    I absolutely love this place. Everything about it is awesome. Great food, great service, great customer service. And all surprisingly hidden in the Hong Kong Market. Make sure when you go inside the market, make a left, go all the way down, and enjoy! Worth your visit, I promise!

    T11. Crispy Pork with Basil
    Lily L.

    Can obviously tell I ordered from them more than once. One of the best Thai places in Chinatown I say, love the spicy crispy pork with basil and Pad Thai. The pork is good thick cuts and comes with a lot of basils and other greens. Can be a little salty, but pair with rice is great. I always order level 5 spicy and that makes me sweating, so tune it down if you can't handle spice that well. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It is located inside the food court of Hong Kong Market, so seatings are public, can get little crowded and rowdy on the weekend.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I like to get their food to go and then go down to Creamery Teahouse towards the market to order my refreshing drink and eat my food at home. It's a perfect night takeout choice!

    Ms.Anna you've outdone yourself time and time again. I've been coming to the Hong Kong Market since I was a jit and let me tell you when this place delivers it does it in style. Make sure you get that pad thai medium heat (getting hot might make you see dead people) and just enjoy the beauty that is Anna Thai Food. Love it! Rate it! I don't care because i'm coming back regardless!

    Chicken with basil
    Patty C.

    I was introduced to this place a few years ago by a fly Thai guy who had gathered a small group for some Thai deliciousness. Located on the far side of the Hong Kong City Mall food court, one might not assume much from first glance, but this place serves some amazing authentic Thai food. While presentation and the lack of a proper dining room does leave much to be desired, taste is king. Therefore Anna Thai is king. Flavors are bold and delicious. It's a to go type of place, but you're more than welcome to eat in the food court, as there is plenty of seating. It's usually crazy loud there though.

    Pad ka pow is one of my favorite Thai dishes here . Make sure you ask for an egg as well . I like it medium spicy because my taste buds are weak lol . They do not hold back on spice here. The ka pow leaves the use are actually whole leaf basil . Plenty of parking as it's inside the Hong Kong mall

    Anna body wanna come here with me

    I hope they don't close down, otherwise I'll have to say, Anna-ther one bites the dust! This is a lovely little Thai restaurant inside the Hong Kong Food Court in the Hong Kong Mall which is a Vietnamese mall, so you can expect some Vietnamese style Thai food here. But totally delicious! It's much cheaper than you would expect at most Thai restaurants and is really good. We've eaten here twice, including once recently, and will be coming a third time hopefully. All in all, it's one of the best options in the mall, and one which we will keep coming back to now that we have discovered it - as you should too.

    Pad Kee Mao with chicken and shrimp
    Debbie O.

    This review is based on my UberEats lunch order of the Pad Kee Mao (drunken noodles) chicken + shrimp and Thai Tea. The Thai tea and pad kee mao arrived very well packaged. I found the tea to be on the sweeter side so if you're a sweet tooth, you'll love this tea. The pad kee mao came in a generous portion. I find that when there's so much food sometimes it's easy to miss the the mark on consistent flavors throughout the dish. In the case of this pad kee mao, some batches of the dish were extremely flavorful and other batches not so much. In terms of the toppings, I found the jumbo shrimp to be the favorite as it was extremely juicy and flavored just right. So if I were to get this dish again, I'd get it made with shrimp alone. Overall, delicious food. Looking forward to trying out more dishes from this gem.

    Every time i try a different thai restaurant i aways have to try their pad thai! It wasnt as spicy and i wanted it to he but the noodles and the protein made up for it! Anna thai, doesnt just have food they also sell products straight from thailand, which i love. All their other thai dishes looked sooo good i cant wait to try them!

    YEN TA FO ($8) + THAI TEA ($3)
    Jennifer T.

    One of the best Thai places in the Chinatown area and it's in a FOOD COURT. If people aren't feeling Thai they could get a different cuisine and yall can still eat together. There are plenty of things on the menu people can enjoy. (3/5): YEN TA FO ($8) - I got this dish because it seemed interesting with its PINK SOUP and other people seem to like it. The flavor is definitely strong of a FERMENTED SHRIMP/FISH PASTE. I was taken aback. I wasn't sure how I felt about it. I liked all the seafood that was in this dish however I would probably not get it again because it didn't quite meet my taste (5/5): PAD WOON SEN ($9) - I got 1 level below their spiciest level because I love spice. It had my tongue tingling with a flavor explosion. I love the CLEAR SKINNY GLASS NOODLE. There was plenty of chicken and peppers. (5/5) THAI TEA ($3) - I think the cup was at least 20 oz. You get a lot of tea for what you paid for. It was strong and a little bitter but creamy.

    All the extra noodle leftover. Way more noodles than meat.
    Rex C.

    The owner is very friendly. I called an hour before to see if they were open and somehow she knew it was me when I walked up. Before I even spoke lol. I walked off to check out the stores and I came back and saw my food boxed up in a to go box in a bag! NO! If you know anything about pad Thai and to go boxes they do not mix! If you are going to put pad that noodles in a to go box at the very least cut a slit out of the corner of the styrofoam box so all of the steam can escape. If you don't do this you will have a big globe of noodles stuck together! Management please start to do this! I told them I was eating it there. So they took it out of the box and guess what? The noodles were already sticking. Such a shame they don't cut an opening for the steam to escape. Back to the food. The food: pad Thai chicken and beef. You get very little meat and a ton of noodles! I mean an excess of noodles with some small chips of meat. This should be called meatless pad Thai lol. Also if you eat it like they serve it you will be in for a dry experience! Who likes it dry? Not me!! Hahaha dry is never good! I had to ask for more pad Thai sauce and peanuts. Once I added that the dish was pretty solid. I have to admit their pad Thai sauce they use to stir fry tasted highly concentrated like it came from a bottle. It was a pretty overall good meal. Just way too many damm noodles and not a lot of meat. Oh I had to add peppers too because I asked for hot and didn't taste any spice. Hot at Thai gourmet will set your ass on fire lol. Also, their pad Thai is absolutely not better than Thai gourmet. A great alternative if you are craving Thai food on a Sunday but mom-sat Thai Gourmet is my first choice.

    My BF told me this place has incredible food for great value…read more Beef Noodle Soup - This is only $10? The value is as incredible as the flavor. Goodness, can we have one open near me? Very hearty and not too spicy. The broth is rich with a refreshing relish tang. My BF and I shared a bowl because there was no way I would've finished it on my own with everything else we ordered. Chicken Dumplings in Beef Soup - Seems to use the same broth as the Beef Noodle Soup. Not my personal favorite because the dumpling wrapper is a bit too thick, but it's a small miss considering how fond I already am of this place. Pan-Fried Pork Dumplings - How is this place making money? These things are massive and deliciously oily. There's a clean Maillard effect on the bottom that adds so much flavor. They also have an interesting fold--I've never seen dumplings shaped quite like this before. The pork flavor comes through strongly with the classic scallion combo. Steamed Bao Bun - Yaass, reliving my Chinese drama dreams. These weren't as sweet as the commercial ones, which I personally prefer. Still, I reckon this is how they tasted in those shows, so I'm stoked for the experience. Now, will I say this is the absolute best dumpling place in Houston? No--but there is something undeniably attractive about this place, and it is fundamentally delicious. It embodies one of the best versions of a classic mom-and-pop restaurant, serving homemade food that isn't perfect but reflects craftsmanship and care beyond the appeal of modern restaurants. My dumplings weren't wrapped with perfect precision, nor were they the pinnacle of healthy eating. They were just blatantly delicious--like when your mom cooks your favorite meal on a weekend night. That's why I would come back. This place represents the most authentic form of home and freedom in food. The downside of all the carbs I ate is that I had to volunteer at my local theatre afterward, and I was crashing haaaaaard while sending this place so much love.

Generous generous portions, cheap, and overall pretty dang great. Chicken steak rice - soo much food. Very crispy chicken and great! Comes with a boil egg and I believe it was tofu. I ended up making a second meal for later with all the food. Had a option of rice/ noodles. I wish I got the noodles. Tried friend's roasted beef noodle and wow the texture on the noodle is fantastic thick, little chewy, but felt perfect and I don't say that lightly. Pan fried dumplings - 12 of them! Pretty great for sharing. Loved it! Perfect amount of crispyness Shrimp and pork siu mai - I think it was good but to me it didn't taste fresh to me personally.

You order at the cash register and the menu has quite a large selection of dumplings and buns. You seat yourself and there is a station with cups, a water dispenser, plates and chopsticks. The liangpi is the reason I come to this restaurant. The noodles have an amazing texture and it pairs perfectly with the bean sprouts, cucumber and cilantro. The sesame sauce brings everything together and it's amazingly refreshing and hearty at the same time. The pork leek dumplings have a delicious filling and the wrapper is very clearly handmade with a delicate chew. The pan fried buns were also quite yummy with a golden crispy bottom and fluffy exterior. My diagnosis: come here for the best liangpi and well made dumplings and buns

    Their advertisement pictures on the store front's glass got me drooling so I wanted to check it out…read morewith my boyfriend, also I'm a huge fan of northern chinese food because it's my mom's hometown. The got nice wall art too, depicting the popular dishes from the north so I had my expectation and hopes up. Service is ordinary, she speaks little English but can get by ordering, we order first at the counter the sit anywhere. Braised egg is 2 for $3.50, salty but expected since it's marinated. Came out steaming hot, and yolk was not overly cooked and dry, not bad. Starting with the Chinese hamburger I felt sad and know not to expect too much from the other dishes we ordered. First the meat look different than what others have posted before, and it was kinda dry and too salty to eat. There was no other spice, only the meat juice flavor. The bun they use was stale to eat. Traditional way of making this should be the flaky oily pancake, or at least make the buns softer to eat. The mutton stew was clear and very heartwarming to drink on a cold day. But the portion is super small for the price. The glass noodles were gone in literally two bites. I had none to share with my boyfriend. This dish come with the burger bun too that you can soak them in the soup so I guess this is the extra carb make up for the less noodles. Oil splash noodle is their specialty? It was good but didn't wowed me. Noodles are chewy and well cooked, came with lots of bean sprouts. The sauce is flavorful and actually not too oily which I enjoyed more. You can add the beef for an extra charge, it's the regular braised beef, was just ok. I find it funny that their all food arts on the wall look nothing like the actual way they serve it.

    5 Stars - Authentic Szechuan that absolutely nails the classics…read more During our short trip to Houston, as a custom, we were determined to find real Szechuan food, and luckily we found Hu's Kitchen. The location is a bit unassuming, and parking is definitely tough (the spaces are very shallow), but the second we walked through the doors and smelled the Szechuan peppercorns, I knew we were in exactly the right place. I generally judge a Szechuan restaurant by their 夫妻肺片 (Fuqi Feipian)--which they cleverly name "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" on the menu. They completely nailed it. The beef, tripe, and tendon were incredibly cohesive together, yet you could tell each component was prepared and marinated in a slightly different way to perfectly highlight its specific texture. The chili oil was right on the spot. We went through a massive bowl of rice just eating this dish alone. Honestly, if I weren't feeding a family of four, I could have just ordered that and been perfectly happy. While the Fuqi Feipian proves their skill with dry dishes, the 水煮魚片 (Fish in Szechuan Hot Chili Oil) proves their skill with wet ones. It's another must-order. The execution was flawless--we didn't just finish the tender fish chunks, we ate every last piece of cabbage soaked in that incredible chili broth. For my two daughters who can't handle the heat, we ordered the fried rice, garlic pork ribs with onion, and the 紅燒獅子頭 (Giant Meatball with Cabbage). The giant meatball was spectacular. The kids completely devoured it on their own, but I managed to steal a bite, and it instantly brought back childhood memories of exactly how this dish is supposed to taste. We also had the Dan Dan Noodles, which were great and rounded out the meal perfectly. I loved all of the dishes we tried. Should we ever find ourselves in Houston again, we will absolutely be revisiting this hidden gem.

No complaints here since we were starving from an 8 hour road trip. The Dan Dan Noodles...I had high expectations but sadly this dish fell short. I recommend Hu's Cooking to use a bigger bowl and more sauce because it was difficult to mix the noodles and the sauce wasn't...saucing, unfortunately. I wish there was more flavor in this dish. The Scallion Pancake was super over-fried and oily. See image in my review. The outer parts of the pancake were fried to a crisp and only a small circumference in the center stayed chewy. I know Chinese tends to be oily but this pancake soaked up way too much oil. Half a Peking duck: super great price for so much meat. The difficulty when eating this dish is gnawing the meat off the sharp bones of the duck. Mapo Tofu with white rice: pretty easy staple, no complaints here. Dinner on a Saturday was packed but we got seated quickly and food arrived fast.

    I love Xing's Kitchen. Whenever I find myself in Sugar Land, it's my go to for Chinese, mainly…read morebecause I love the Shanxi oil noodle which is the best I've had. I swear it's just one really long hand made noodle, so it's a bit hard to share, but it's a must-get. We also tried the Claypot noodle and it was good as well but a bit of an acquired taste. The restaurant is located inside Jusgo grocery store. The seating is quite limited so I wouldn't recommend it for large parties. And it's pretty mom and pop, so if that's your jam, go for it. Chairs are mismatched, drinking water is somewhat self-service in small cafeteria-style plastic cups, and tables are small. Like I said - mom and pop, and that's not a bad thing. It's just not exactly a place where you would have a nice business meeting. Service was ok - nothing to note. You pay at the cashier which is like 2 feet from where you ate. Yes, it's a small space. Overall - I love this place and will keep coming back.

    the 热干面 (hot sesame paste noodles) is an absolute must!! the sesame sauce is rich and thick,…read morecoating the noodles really well instead of being watered down we also really enjoyed the braised chicken which was super fresh and flavorful (and spicy, be careful!) the 凉皮 (cold flour skin noodles) was also good, though i personally think it couldve used a little more salt very casual ambiance, not much service, food comes out fast

    This little spot is my literal favorite place for fried rice. Everything is good but the fried rice…read moreis the best I've ever had! Pork Bao's are normally my daughter fave but the soup dumplings here are her favorite. She could finish an order on her own. The service is always great. As soon as you get in they give everyone a water and a carafe of more water. There is a QR code to order and you place your order on the phone. The order goes straight to the kitchen and you can add as you go if wanted. I always thought that was pretty cool. The owner came out to say hello and ask how everything is. She even brought out a small bowl of soup for my baby to enjoy. The waitress was also very sweet and attentive. I don't live close by but will make the trip when the craving hits. Today was one of those days. The last time I was here there was no ac and not enough seating. This time it was nice and cool in and well as having new seating! This little spot needs to be on your need to stop places!

    Was a little bit of a red flag when we were the only Asian customers in the restaurant - still…read moredecent but definitely catered towards Western taste buds. My favorite dish was surprising the fried rice, with generous portions and slight smokiness. The xiaolongbao weren't my favorite, as there wasn't a whole lot of juice; but hey if you're looking to be health conscious maybe that is a positive.

    I don't see many places that specialize on udon. Ishin does it well with a big variety of udon…read moredishes from Japanese to Italian inspired and soups to curries. It's a small and cozy place that can get packed around peak hours. I got the beef curry udon with a side of tonkatsu. The tonkatsu was tender and crunchy and made an excellent addition to the soft and creamy udon. The curry was one of my favorites I've tried so far, a generous, flavorful helping that wasn't overly salty or spicy. They also gave a good amount of tender sliced beef as well. If you're out looking for udon specifically, this place has all sorts of good options for you to choose from.

    This was my third time coming back here. Each time we like to try different dishes. This time I…read morebrought my nieces with me and that just means more dishes to try. Not many restaurants in Houston offer Takowasa, which is marinated raw octopus with wasabi; and when we find one that does, it's our must order for appetizers. We also ordered the chicken karaage and agedashi tofu. The karaage was juicy and slightly larger than the size of popcorn chicken. The tofu was soft and lightly battered, however the downside is that it gets soggy quickly since it's sitting in the sauce rather than on the side. For our entrees, we got the carbonara, curry tonkatsu rice, niku tama ankake, and kakuni udon. The carbonara was nice and creamy. The curry rice tastes exactly like the Japanese box curry. The niku tama is more of a thicker soup base similar to egg drop soup, however has a more slightly sweet umami flavor. The kakuni udon had a lighter broth with braised pork belly. The service was a bit slow here, but we didn't mind it too much. The interior had a cute traditional Japanese style decor. Overall, we enjoyed our meal and we'll be back to try other udons.
