    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)
    Hayley F.

    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 .

    Really enjoyed Thai Thumbs!…read more They have indoor and outdoor seating and we were given the option to sit outside until something opened up inside. They offered to move us, even if we had already ordered, which I thought was nice. There was about eight of us and I thought they did a really good job of being friendly and accommodating. I ended up getting the glass noodles meal with tofu. My only issue was that it was supposed to be mild but was a bit on the spicy side! But otherwise it was delicious. I ended up with a to go box. My friend also got this coconut Matcha drink that looked really cool. I snapped a photo even though I didn't get to try it. But I want to try it one day next time I come back! I think if you like Thai food and you're in the Sugarland area, this would be a good place to go try. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff.

    I've been wanting to try Thai Thumbz for dinner for a while, and since I was in the area for work,…read moreI decided to stop by for lunch. I sat on the patio since it was such a beautiful day, and the atmosphere was really nice. I ordered the tom yum soup and the fried veggie rolls. The tom yum was delicious and the portion was huge I couldn't even finish the bowl. The veggie rolls were the only thing I was a little disappointed with because the filling was pretty mushy after taking a bite. Customer service was great, though, and I also have to mention the table next to me ordered a few shareable appetizers that looked amazing and instantly made me want to come back just to try those. Overall, it's a really cute spot inside with a great vibe, food was great and so many options to choose from I'd definitely give it another try.

    Thai Town deserves all its flowers and more. This is a top tier Thai spot & I'm genuinely happy…read morethat I got to enjoy it. * Chicken Satay - 4/5, peanut sauce was delicious pairing * Khao Soi (classic, delicious egg noodle soup) - 4.5/5 * Crab fried rice - 5/5, THIS IS THE BEST CRAB FRIED RICE I EVER HAD IN MY ENTIRE LIFE, good portion of crabs & not too salty or under-seasoned, it was perfect * Mango sticky rice- 4/5, we were already full but I can't passed up one of my favorite dessert, they were extremely generous with the coconut milk that it overpower the mango flavor, minus 1 point for personal's preference * Green Thai Tea - 5/5, I never had green Thai tea before and it officially became my new favorite drink! 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.

    This was honestly one of the best Thai food experiences I've had. The flavors were incredibly…read moreunique and layered in a way that really stood out from other Thai restaurants I've visited. The curry and roti alone were worth the visit. The curry was unbelievably rich, aromatic, and deeply flavorful, the kind of dish where every bite has a slightly different note of spice, sweetness, and warmth. It was comforting but still complex, and the roti was perfect for soaking up every bit of it. I also tried the salmon green curry, which I've surprisingly never seen offered before. It was outstanding. The salmon was tender and buttery, and it absorbed the green curry beautifully. The curry itself had a vibrant, fragrant heat balanced with creamy coconut and fresh herbs. Easily an 11/10. For the kids, we ordered the chicken satay, and even that was exceptional. The seasoning was incredibly well balanced, savory, slightly sweet, and gently spiced without being overpowering. It's rare for a "kids" dish to be that thoughtfully prepared. And the peanut sauce with the spring rolls deserves its own mention. I'm usually not even a peanut sauce fan, but this one completely changed my mind. It was silky, bold, slightly sweet, with just the right depth of roasted peanut flavor. I genuinely wanted more of it. Service was just as impressive as the food. The place was fairly busy during lunch, but the staff were attentive, quick, and really on top of everything without making the experience feel rushed. What stood out the most for us as a family was how welcoming they were to our kids. We have three children all under six, and while the restaurant might not be considered a typical kid-focused place, the team made us feel completely comfortable. They were warm, patient, and just as attentive to the kids as they were to my wife and me, which we really appreciated. Amazing food, great service, and a genuinely welcoming atmosphere. We'll absolutely be back.

    First impression: Lunchtime on a weekday and this restaurant was brimming with people. Noisy,…read moredifficult to hear people in your party. Second impression: Price was a bit higher than expected. Final impression: Food was delicious, flavorful, and portion size very generous. My husband and I really enjoyed The Nines. Yes, the first time we came the place was bustling and food took quite a long time to come out. However, they brought us water even though we were just taking to-go, that was very kind of them. Once we got home, the food was delicious! We were both impressed by how much veggies and meat were in our dishes. My green curry wasn't mostly curry but it was FULL of chicken, peppers, and bamboo. I wasn't just scooping plain curry at the end. This is such a different experience than most places. A few weeks later we came back with some friends and were not disappointed. My friend's 7 year old got a pad see ew by himself and it seriously looked like he hadn't eaten at all at the end of the (that's how big the portions were). My friend only ate half of his food too and said he didn't realize how generous the portions were. We all enjoyed our food and left satisfied. Yum! Highly recommend!

Food: Roti - 10/10 it's delicious, the best we had compared to other places. Crispy roti and yummy sweet coconut yellow curry is a good appetizer to start your Thai food journey Basil Thai fried rice with chicken - 9/10, the taste is on the sweeter side and a tad oily for my taste.

Khao soi braised beef - 10/10, this dish grew on you.
