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
Ai Y.

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.

There is a physical display of certain popular items where you can see from their entrance though. We ordered the mango & pomelo with sago, mango chewy ball, and the mango pancake. It's hard to choose favorites here but I really enjoyed the mango & pomelo with sago. It has mango purée base with sago pearls, pomelo pulp, and fresh mango chunks. Can't go wrong with their signature mango chewy ball either which has mango slush base topped with glutinous rice chewy balls and mango chunks. The mango pancake was a thin crepe-like outer layer filled with whipped cream and a slice of mango.

When I stopped by on a weekday evening at 9pm it was packed. They had stations setup throughout the store to order different goods, which helped to alleviate the rush. Knafeh ($6) - They offered 2 types of knafeh, one with cheese and one with custard. I went with the one made with Nabulsi cheese and topped with shredded phyllo, and soaked in sugar syrup. It was warm, crispy and delicious! Karak tea ($5) - This milk tea drink was made with aromatic spices, primarily cardamom, cloves, ginger and cloves. I was happy to see they used whole milk instead of evaporated milk. The drink was incredibly rich and creamy and tasted great. Turkish delight ($18 / lb.) - This was extremely fresh, soft and chewy, made with cornstarch, sugar, nuts. Some of the varieties I tried had chocolate and/or fruits. The baklava here was fresh made with layers of phyllo dough, chopped nuts, and held together with some honey. The nut offerings here included, almonds, walnuts, peanuts and a few more. Overall I was impressed with everything they offered here with the exception of the nuts, which I thought were just ok. I'd definitely return if I was in the area.

The desserts here are fun, unique, and very different from what you find at most places. My only…read morecomplaint is the lack of labeling for many of the products. For example, with the Turkish delights and ice cream selections, only a few items are labeled. For most of them, you have to guess the flavor or ingredients. When I asked questions, there was a language barrier, and the staff member behind the counter was unable to clearly explain what the items were in English. This can be especially frustrating for customers with food allergies or dietary restrictions. In the U.S., I would expect all flavors and ingredients to be clearly labeled so customers can make informed choices. Even if staff members are not fluent in English, having accurate labels for flavors and ingredients would greatly improve the customer experience. The desserts themselves are excellent, but better product labeling would make the experience much more enjoyable and accessible for everyone.

Popfancy Dessert Bar: You're here for K-Pop, the desserts are the bonus…read more Let's be honest about what this is. You're paying for the K-Pop Demon Hunter pop-up aesthetic, the upbeat vibes, the fast service, the themed menu. The desserts? Solid. The Pinky Up Parfait hits. One scoop of cappuccino ice cream comes generous and tasty. Nothing disappoints. But nothing revolutionizes dessert either. This is good execution in service of a limited time experience, not destination-level pastry work. And that's fine. That's exactly what a pop-up should be. The real draw is that everything works together. Vibe, music, service, and desserts that don't let the side down. It feels fun, not gimmicky. That's harder to pull off than you'd think. Bottom line. Pop-ups don't stick around. If the K-Pop theme is your thing and you want solid desserts in a fun environment, go now. If you're just looking for great desserts, permanent spots do it better.

This is not a place you go to just have lunch or something.This place is an experience. Some adults might find joy in here (like I do), but my children definitely did, and that's worth it. They came here with the same excitement that they had for disneyland so I'm really happy about that. We all liked the harry potter experience and some different anime type experiences as well that my children liked. The foods and drinks are on theme and although it's not cheap, it's definitely not as much as Disneyland. We came on the weekends, but during lunchtime, and I can see how they might be really busy during the dinner rush. Sometimes you might need a timed entry to go in, but thankfully, we have not since we've been going. I will say that it's quite small and gets cramped really fast. I just think the experience of it all is a really cool and I'm happy we have fun places like this around us in Houston.

What's nudged this place up to 5 stars for me is they have really improved their coffee game, specifically their quality of cappuccino's. Previously it seemed more of latte, but now to me its a legit Capp. Their choice of pastries hasn't changed, which gives you a good assortment of choices and they have added an additional barista or server which also is a nice touch for service. The only niggling items, parking can be tough, so you'll have to either walk a block or be quick to find a place close by. Regardless, definitely give this place a go to come for a pastry and coffee.

Many of the desserts are beautifully presented and almost too pretty to eat. I especially enjoyed the tiramisu and the apricot mousse dessert, while the drinks were decent overall. It was a pleasant experience, especially since we were able to use our hotel credit. That said, the prices are on the higher side, so I'm not sure I would make a special trip just for it. Still, it's a lovely stop if you're already staying at or visiting the hotel.

She told me to go to the bakers son and make sure I go early because they do sale out and people buy in bulk. I entered with intentions of only getting the ube bread but $40 and 5 items later I went slightly overboard. They have so many items and they all look delicious. The customer service was great and prices were really good. Now to the items, the ube bread is phenomenal, soft, sweet, flavorful 10/10. I also got a biscoff bread sandwich (I'm forget the name) which had the softest and most perfect bread I've ever indulged in. Now to what the employees recommended and the absolute star. The ube Swiss roll. Omg, it was phenomenal. 20 out of 10! It was perfect in every way. I live 30 mins away but will make sure to keep The Bakers Son on a must go place weekly!

Since we were already in the area after breakfast at TJ's Filipino Cuisine, we finally got the chance to stop by and try their baked goods for ourselves. We arrived early, so the bakery wasn't too busy yet. The bakers were busy prepping more goodies in the back while my cousin and I browsed all the Filipino baked goods we really miss from back home in the Philippines. They even had suman, sapin-sapin, biko, and other kakanin, which was nice to see. I specifically looked for the chicken empanada, and my cousin wanted to try the ube white chocolate chip cookie. We also saw different kinds of siopao and planned to come back later to buy some before heading back to San Antonio. We tried the ube white chocolate chip cookie first, but honestly we weren't totally satisfied. It tasted more like a regular white chocolate chip cookie with purple coloring and didn't really have much ube flavor. I also tried the chicken empanada. My cousin didn't like it because it was sweeter than expected--we were both expecting it to be savory. There seemed to be caramelized sugar in the outside of the pastry, which probably added to the sweetness. I still like it, though it was definitely sweeter than what I'm used to. Red Ribbon's chicken empanada is still my favorite. Later that day before leaving Houston, we came back for the siopao we planned to take home. We finally decided to just buy a couple pieces for ourselves, heat them up in the bakery, and try them fresh. When we saw the price for a four-pack, we were honestly disappointed. It felt expensive for the size. The siopao wasn't huge, and while I like the dough, there wasn't much chicken filling inside. For the portion, taste, and quality, it felt overpriced. Overall, it's probably not worth making another trip back for us. We did enjoy the cassava ube suman, and I like the chicken empanada, but not enough to drive all the way to Houston just for those. If I live nearby, I might come back to try other baked goods, but based on this visit, I'm not sure the rest would impress my palate. I still give them credit for cleanliness and customer service, although we did notice fruit flies on one of the shelves and reported it. The staff was friendly, and the bakery itself was welcoming. At the end of the day, since they're a bakery, the expectation is great-tasting, quality, mouthwatering Filipino breads, pastries ", and kakanin. While some items were enjoyable, overall it just didn't quite live up to the hype for us.
