I've eaten here multiple times as a quick lunch option near the office, and have never been disappointed. Interior is small but no issue getting a table. You walk up to the counter to place your order, then sit and wait for it to be brought out to you. They have all the Thai staples you'd expect on a menu, pricing is very reasonable, and service has always been quick and friendly.

A great Thai spot! So much flavor in the noodles. The chicken is ok. My husband loves the pad Thai and the iced Thai coffee, super flavorful. It's a small place, cafe vibes and casual. The staff is super friendly and the service was great! We've been here a couple times now. I got spice level 1 and it wasn't that spicy but my husband got medium and he said the heat built over time.

Pad Thai

A solid Thai spot and a nice quick lunch spot in this area! I stopped in for a Saturday lunch and was the only one dining in at the time. Service was quick and efficient, and the waiter mentioned they usually get a decent lunch crowd on weekdays, with more of a rush in the evenings. I got a few dishes like the traditional Pad Thai with chicken, fresh ginger with beef, and Panang curry. I was most impressed with the curry, rich in flavor and just the right amount of spice. The Pad Thai was also enjoyable, with great texture from the glass noodles and a nice balance of sweet/savory. The fresh ginger dish was just ok, I was not that impressed with the cut of beef, the flavor didn't quite stand out compared to the other dishes. Parking is easy to find with sufficient space in the front. The interior has ample seating and featured several TVs above the kitchen area playing some cooking shows. Overall, this is one of the better Thai places in the area and I definitely look forward to coming back trying more of the menu.

Delicious!!! Wet clean restaurant, plenty of seating. The food was so good. I loved everything and will definitely be coming backs the menu was so to read and our waiter was very helpful at helping us narrow down what we wanted to try. They have so many options of curry. It was hard to choose which one we wanted.

Food

Good authentic Thai food! Their medium spice has a punch to it so if you can not find at spicy go down a level. Love their papaya salad and chicken tom yum to start off. Their flat noodles and fried rice is so flavorful. Friendly staff that often check up on us

Red Curry - Hot
Hudson N.

A home run for Thai food. Man, I love this restaurant. Great value on the menu, excellent flavor and all the flavors are perfectly balanced. I love the Green Curry and the Red Curry. 10/10 would recommend. The atmosphere is casual, but strikingly clean --sanitary and everything looks dusted. Aroy has the most attentive, considerate waitstaff I've seen. Big thumbs up for Aroy Thai!

Panang curry lunch special
Frederick R.

Great food, fast service, awesome lunch specials, tasty spring rolls! Lovely lunch spot with a nice interior design and comfy booths as well!

Pad kee mow
Nina T.

This has immediately become our go to Thai place because the food and service were just incredible! We took a big group here so we had the chance to try lots of different dishes. To start, the crispy rolls, edamame and cheese curds (special) were delicious! I also had a tom yum gai which was extremely flavorful and quite a large portion. For entrees, we had the fried rice, pad kee mow, fried rice, Panama curry, and I think the green curry, but I'm not 100% sure. All were delicious except that we ordered them a bit too spicy! That was absolutely our fault - we ordered them at a 3 spice level and probably should have done 1 or 2 . We're very used to Szechuan food so we thought we could handle our spice, but we would definitely recommend ordering it less spicy just in case! Regardless though, this spot was extremely clean and very quiet, so it was a perfect family spot. We'll definitely return back soon but will order at a lower spice level!

Near the office, I stopped by for a quick weekday lunch since it's one of the few Thai spots nearby. It's located on the frontage road of the interstate in a small shopping center. Parking is available in the front. The interior is slightly dated but has plenty of seating. The atmosphere is extremely casual and feels like a spot where they want to turn tables pretty quickly during lunch hour. The menu is fairly large and definitely could be condensed into one or two pages. Service is fairly fast and casual; order your drinks, entrees, the food is brought in, and the check. Got the Thai tea to start, papaya salad, pad Thai, pad see ew, and panang curry. Their Thai tea was pleasantly and mildly sweet, which is great since most Thai tea drinks are made with way too much sugar. The papaya salad was alright; it's decently seasoned but definitely not the best I've had in town. The pad Thai noodles were a bit disappointing; they're super thin and fairly broken apart by the time we got it. The dish was missing some fried egg and bean sprouts to add some texture to the noodles. The sauce was also a bit light on the tamarind flavor and was more spicey than anything else. I was not a fan of the pad see ew; there lacked Chinese broccoli/ broccolini and there was just standard broccoli in its place; this felt a bit inauthentic. The seasoning/ sauce was also lacking flavor and the noodles were pretty forgettable. Lastly, the panang curry had good flavor but lacked content; there were a few beef slices, tons of peppers/jalapeño slices, and a ton of snow peas for some reason and came with white rice. Taste wise, this was probably the best dish but the curry was very watery and again lacked some content in there. Overall, I felt the quality of the dishes were a bit subpar and below the raving reviews. Service was friendly and the prices are fairly reasonable but the food is far from my go to spots.

tofu pad kee mao
Tracey Z.

I was surprised by this place. It seems pretty authentic. Good service and lots of options. The wait was pretty long for the food so I assume they make the food fresh to order. We tried the tofu pad kee mao. I honestly was not too impressed by this. It was missing the kick of flavor I was expecting. The tofu curry rice was a bit better flavor wise, but I was also not super blown away.

Menus

Good services and great food! Some place won't let accept more than mild. Therefore I ordered more than mild, to adjusted coconut milk and made it taste milder! I love it.

Woow I never knew about this place, ive walked past this place countless times so color me surprise…read morewhen this came up on one of the most recommended and longest standing restaraunts in Bellaire This place really is a hole in the wall, its fantastic. 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. I think its still quite good in taste though Overall I was pretty happy with this place! The owners were so nice, answering all our questions, recommending options on menu. I would come back!

My absolute favorite spot for dumplings…read more Tasty, authentic, and high-value. You are sure to get a lot of food for cheap prices at this locally owned restaurant. The dumplings and noodle dishes are fresh and so delicious. Most dumpling wrappers I've tried at other places are too chewy or hard. I like these dumplings especially because of how soft and flavorful they are. And the lady at the register is so nice, even when it gets super busy. It's a lot of self-serve for utensils and such and the atmosphere is cozy. Definitely a must-try if you like Chinese-style dumplings!

Northern Pasta is a hole in the wall located in a strip mall in Chinatown. The parking lot is…read morespacious and relatively easy. 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

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 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.

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.
