    Panang Curry
    Marian G.

    This is a very small restaurant in the river stone area of Sugarland. The service is fast and all the servers are friendly and helpful. We love it. Our appetizer was curry puff and the roti with curry. Delicious. Hubby had the panang curry and I had the red curry, both with a 3 spice level. So so so good. For sure it rivals the nines. We will definitely be back.

    Pad Se-Iew

    I wanted to try this place hoping for a solid Thai meal, but overall it was pretty underwhelming. I ordered a Thai iced tea that never made it to the table, and the food took a really long time to come out. I got the Pad See Ew - flavor-wise it was okay, but not as flavorful as a classic Thai spot. Nothing was particularly wrong with it, it just didn't really stand out. I also ended up finding a hair in my food, which I don't think was supposed to come with. Service left a little to be desired overall, between the missing drink and the long wait. Food it'self was barely alright. I probably won't be coming back.

    Chicken Satay (5)

    A small Thai restaurant that sells authentic Thai food. The restaurant is decorated simply but beautifully. They have lunch menu items that are reasonably priced. Their regular menu features curries, vegetable entrees, soups, and salads among others. I had the chicken satay and fried tofu as appetizers. The chicken satays were tender inside and went well with the peanut sauce. The fried tofu was made with rice flour, thus the texture was soft and smooth. For entree, I had the Pad Thai which was flavorful. The crispy garlic chicken lunch special was plentiful. Staff was friendly and polite.

    Amazing every single week. We come here all be time. It's SO good. Great service and atmosphere!!

    We got seated fast. But another group who came after us got their orders taken before us. Then the waitress (one and only in the restaurant) is so unfocused, that when we start giving our orders, she tells us to wait, gets interrupted with seating new guest. Ordered the following 1. Tom yum. Have to add $2 to make it creamy. Asked if they can place less chicken. Answer is sorry they cannot. The soup came to the table just a degree above tap! In short, it's just Luke warm! 2. Papaya salad Came To our table with lots of the vegetables hanging outside the plate and touching the table. The salad is so soupy! So sloppy presentation. 3. Shrimp pad Thai. Not impressive 4. Chicken with asparagus. The last dish. Came so late. 5. The glass water pitcher on our table. Leaking water on the table. When we inspected, the neck of the pitcher has cracks. This restaurant is still using to serve water in it. We were not charged for the papaya salad. Will not come back to this horrible restaurant.

    We heard about this place when we last ate at Morningside Thai. This is part of their family. We loved Arun. The Lunch menu is offered on Saturday from 2 to 2:30 pm so I jumped on the chicken pad thai which came with a crispy vegetable egg roll and a cup of the soup of the day....vegetable....all amazing. My wife got a cup of wonton soup, some baby beef egg rolls and some crisp tempura shrimp....more amazing, we shared everything. We even enjoyed a couple iced tea drinks. This is not near our neighborhood but it was well worth the drive. Super friendly people and tasty food.

    Arun Thai Kitchen pleasantly surprised me. My friend and I both love Thai food and we each have different places we consider our "go-to's," but the other day we decided to branch out. I'm not sure exactly when Arun Thai Kitchen opened, but we had each noticed it for the first time recently and decided to give it a go. First off, the restaurant is very well decorated. Whoever was in charge of the decor deserves some recognition because it is so cute and vibey in there! They even have Jellycats! The place feels modern, but homey. My friend and I couldn't stop commenting on the decorations! Then there was the food! The menu was extensive with incredible options throughout. I went with the Pad Se-lew, which was the same as Pad See Ew from my usual Thai place. The dish was flavorful, but could've been spicier in my opinion. Next time I'll ask for more spice. I requested only broccoli, although the dish typically includes carrots as well. It was enjoyable and I had enough for leftovers! The service was excellent. My friend ordered the Tom Kha soup and it came with very little broth. My friend pretty much only ate the broth and when our waitress came by with our main dishes, she told us to always request what we want because they want us to enjoy our food. She said we could ask for more broth next time. Her attentiveness and willingness to accept requests was very sweet. I appreciate it when places don't make you feel bad for making requests. Our waitress was great! I will say, though, it took a while for the food to come out. Maybe I was just hungry, but we did wait for a while before eating. Arun Thai Kitchen is a place I would certainly visit again. It's a great spot for a friend date (or a date date)! I also noticed a ton of pick up orders being retrieved while we were there so that could be a good option, too. Yum!

    Pad Kee Mao (Drunken)

    Another addition to Thai cuisine in our neighborhood. Good in a way as we don't have to drive to Galleria area anymore for Thai food! However, this is a very casual restaurant, has definitely room to grow as this Suburb is full of Asian population. Food was fine, though had read great reviews that tempted me to try. Service was average, as it was less welcoming even at 8:15 PM, when restaurant closes at 9pm, hope they welcome guests with equal enthusiasm, especially being new in the neighborhood for making repeat customers. Let see how it picks up, so will definitely try one more time!

    They even have great crispy garlic lunch prices!!

    We have been coming to Arun for about 6 months. It is our favorite. They have great crispy garlic chicken and pad kemao. Everyone is so kind and the service is always top notch. Please come try. Support local businesses!!! Thank you Noryi!! The best!!

    Can't get enough of this place! Our favorite is the pad see ew with pineapple fried rice with chicken and the tomkah soup . Food is consistent and service is always fast. The place is pretty small and has always a lot of take out orders. Service is ok .

    I came across this place while exploring the Sugar Land area, and I'm so glad I decided to stop by…read more I ordered the Paneer Tikka Pizza with jalapeños and extra cheese, and the very first bite brought back the nostalgia of Desi-style pizza. The flavors were bold, perfectly balanced, and incredibly satisfying. The restaurant itself has a modern, upscale feel with spacious seating and dim lighting that creates a cozy atmosphere. The staff was patient, polite, and efficient, and my order arrived surprisingly quickly. The pizza was worth every penny--loaded with flavor, fresh ingredients, and cooked just right. As a vegetarian, I was excited to see several tempting options on the menu, and I'm already looking forward to coming back to try more of them.

They make everything fresh and we could taste it in their quality of food. Overall loved the food and will definitely be back

There are plenty of parking spots at this location. Park wherever you like. Shoutout to our server Thy for doing an amazing job. The service was top notch, I think we got asked a decent amount of times if we need anything else or is the food to our liking, some people might not like that but I think that's better than being ignored by the servers the entirety while I'm there. I did noticed the servers were extremely accommodating to people wanting to move tables & spots around, so that's a plus for accommodation. The inside of the restaurant is super cute & modern, the only con it was super loud in the restaurant that I had to either repeat myself multiple times or scream louder than others, management should look into adding sound-absorbing panels, 3/5 for the loudness. I don't know how servers work there without feeling drained or deafening after their shifts.

The interior felt sticky and unkept, which is a shame because this is not an old spot by any means and Telfair is a pretty nice community. The legs of the tables were rusted over and the plastic of the chairs were chipped. There were cobwebs on the walls. It just felt like the place has not been well maintained. When we ordered, the cashier never showed or told me my order back and just gave me the total price, expecting me to tap my card. Hearing that our order for 4 people was over $60, the price sounded high to me for the prices listed on the overhead TV menus. Come to find out there was a markup on the loaded fries I ordered that was not reflected on the display. When I asked her about it, she nonchalantly said "Oh yeah the price is higher". My first thought was, hey it's a digital menu, how hard is that to change? Secondly, the attitude in response to how my order broke down was definitely not one of good customer service. I also asked how spicy the chili ranch sauce was that came with the avocado burger since my 6 year-old was ordering it and she assured me it was not spicy. We ended up having to wait over half an hour for our food. Turned out the avocado burger had some sort of chopped peppers throughout the spread and my son couldn't even eat a bite. The biryani was also extremely spicy. I like spicy food as much as the next, but the biryani was hot fire coming out the chute, and there was a lot "chuting" from the family after this meal. Needless to say, we won't be returning anytime soon. Which is too bad, because I want to support local, ethnic foods and honestly, I like the taste of the food.
