Ban Mai Thai is one of those places that lets the food speak for itself. It's a small restaurant, but there's plenty of seating since it seems like most customers opt for takeout. The service was friendly and quick, and every dish came out fresh, hot, and cooked to order. The menu has a lot of options, the portions are generous, and the flavors hit without being overpowering. Their spice levels are the real deal, so order accordingly if you don't like a lot of heat. Highly recommended. I'll definitely be back. read more

Stopped here after visiting family in town. Small place inside with only a handful of tables and wait can be long when busy. Staff is phenomenal and food was very good. Had kapow fried rice, massaman curry, and shrimp pad Thai. Lots of food and we all loved our meals. Will definitely be back! read more

There are rules to engagement. Food is great Services was good The ambience is very laid-back but there's a lot of rules to follow if you want to eat here meaning you can't eat here on Saturday or Sunday. Yeah you're stuck like Chuck. read more

This place has HORRIBLE hours of operation. I have tried giving this place a try 2 times now and have been turned away both times. They are open from 11am to 2:30pm and then close from 2:30pm to 4pm. Dinner is from 4:30pm to 8pm. So, the hours are weird to begin with but if you don't arrive 45 minutes before each closing time you cannot dine in. So really their hours of operation are from 11am to 1:45pm and 4:30pm to 7:15 pm. Why have a restaurant if you are only going to be open for 6 hours?! It makes no sense. Never again. read more

Absolutely amazing find that myself and a couple friends found while TDY at Fort Cavazos. The seating isn't a lot and the dining room a bit small, but it's very clean and cute. The gentleman helping us was incredibly kind and helpful. We ordered two entrees each, as well as appetizers. Incredible flavors. Definitely go if you're in the area, well worth any wait! read more

Amazing service the owner was so nice and respectful. We waited for about just 30 minutes for all of our food and we ordered quite a bit, and it was all amazing. It was super delicious and me and my family will definitely be going back! I definitely recommend. read more

the chicken rolls were fried fresh and would have been amazing but they are sweet. was so confused and disappointed. if they were NOT sweet they would have been 5/5 if you like sweet chicken rolls this is for you. the Thom yum chicken was too sour to eat. like super sour. the soup has baby corn which is crunchy and rough in a soup. wasn't able to like it at all. the chicken was chewy for me. do not recommend. read more

You can never go wrong with Thai food! So we checked out this restaurant for lunch & had plenty of leftovers for another two meals We started with the veggie egg rolls, which were fried to perfection & served with a tasty dipping sauce. I then ordered the papaya salad & asked for it to be spicy. Not really used to iceberg lettuce being in this particular salad, but it was still pretty tasty! The Drunken Noodles with tofu were so delicious! It comes with bell peppers, onions, cabbage, carrots, broccoli, & Thai basil, all stir fried in sweet chili & tamarind sauce. (Made spicy) For the soup, we ordered the Thom Yum with tofu, made spicy. It came with lemon grass, mushrooms, cilantro, baby corn, chives, & white onions, served with a side of jasmine rice. To die for! We also got a hefty plate of the combo veggie fried rice which was a bit sweet but packed with flavor. All the flavors & the spicy level were excellent! We were seated quickly, & despite the limited FOH employees, we also got our food fast too. It was a quiet yet welcoming atmosphere & I'd love to come back again. read more

Ban Mai Thai - Drunken noodles - Thai Near Me - Harker Heights, Texas

We just moved to the area and were looking for a good restaurant and stubbled across this one which we had no idea was right down the road! Costumer service was 10/10 on the phone, and 100/10 when I showed up to pick up my order. Offered me complimentary drinks while I waited the 5 minutes extra it took to complete my order. Now on to the food. Absolutely DELICIOUS. Hit the spot for everyone in the fam. Veg egg rolls were a huge fav (almost went back and ordered more lol) and even tho I have never tried coconut curry, I was extremely impressed with the Red Curry w/ Chicken and am so happy I have more for leftovers! Thank you for becoming our new weekly spot Ban Mai Thai ‍ read more

I've never experienced what it's like to live in a military town. I've frequented the area for some time visiting pawn shops but rarely dined anywhere beyond a safe chain. Outback Steakhouse, Hooters, and Gas Monkey Garage. Worth noting GMG and Hooters are no longer open. Yeah, most of those let me down too. After a few years I did hit a similar mom and pop place in Harker Heights with excellent results. Heard from a friend in the area that Ban Mai Thai was from the same family; stopped in for a late lunch on a recent weekend. Starters selected for the table were the chicken spring rolls and steamed dumplings. Nice bites; quality sauce pairings. We're a 4 top and decided to do family style. Ordered three entrees and shared between all of us. The Pad Thai had nice flavor even ordered mild. The Panang Curry while flavorful could have been thicker. The yellow curry (combination meats) was thicker than the Panang and also flavorful. White rice was served to all; overall good first impressions except for a few things. Combo meat did not include shrimp which kind of surprised me. SO, this wasn't my REAL first time here. We had previously attempted to dine here a few months back and were turned away by ownership with 15 minutes left till they closed between lunch and dinner. Dining this visit they did the same thing to another potential diner; doesn't show much drive to survive folks. read more

Excellent service and delicious food. You gotta dine at this restaurant if you haven't already done so. You will love the service and the food. No doubt. read more

This is the second time we've been here. We came here the first month that it opened. Both times the food under-delivered. Tom yum soup is too sour, pad thai is too sweet/sour. In general, the food tastes more Americanized than traditional. However, the service is great, and the owner is very welcoming and responsive. The location is a bit small and tidy, but it is clean. read more

The menu is really inviting, and I'll try Ban Mail Thai soon. Hoping to have an excellent Pad Thai chicken or vegetable pad Thai.

Food was really good, I got the pad thai. Employee was nice. Very simple, not flashy environment.

Ban Mai Thai never disappoints. We love this restaurant for the chill atmosphere and, more importantly, the fresh, tasty Thai food. The staff is excellent, and it is nice to support a family-owned and operated restaurant here in the Harker Heights/Killeen area. If you are in the mood for delicious Thai food, Ban Mai Thai is your place. *The Thai tea is amazing!!!!!! read more

One of the best Thai restaurants we love to go to here in Harker Heights. Delicious food, made to order and fresh every time. We always get the chicken pad Thai & panang curry. Pair that with the thai iced tea is BOMMMMMBBBBB. Sometimes it does get busy, so you could expect a delay, but for the wait you get hot fresh food each time. Amazing service, the gentleman that's serving you is friendly and knowledgeable. And must I mention, it's very clean in here too. Thanks so much Ban Mai Thai! read more

This place was amazing! The food was overall so savory, I have to admit that this is my new favorite Thai place. I definitely recommend this place if you're in the mood for some delicious Thai food.

Very enjoyable lunch. It's a small friendly place with fresh made food and good sauces. It is on the spicy side so be careful how spicy you order it. Loved the egg rolls and also the ginger dish. Chicken a little dry. read more

This is by far our favorite Thai spot in the Killeen/HH area. We've been to other Thai spots in the area and even in Austin - but none of them serve you such big portions for such a good price, we always need a to-go box after eating. Their peanut sauce and satay are my favorite, I could literally eat it everyday lol. The service may be slow sometimes depending on if they have a rush but we think it's definitely worth the wait. We always see the staff super friendly and happy every time we go. read more

We saw the sign a month ago and wasn't sure if it was open, so we decided to try yesterday and they were open for take out. We ordered the pineapple fried rice, chicken egg rolls, and rice noodles which I can't remember the name of the dish, lol . Overall it was pretty good. The food was so fresh and hot, portions are very good for the price. I am so glad they had chicken egg rolls, most Thai have only the vegetable one. It comes in six in one order and we ate it all. The pineapple fried rice was also delicious and the rice noodles was okay. I forgot to take pictures, maybe next time for sure. There's a lunch buffet area, but won't be up until it's all clear due to the COVID. We tried calling for lunch, but we didn't know they are closed on Sunday. We are definitely coming back! We came back for more today. But I tried the Chicken Pad Thai and Thom Yum soup. Hubby ordered the same pineapple fried rice. Anyways, the Pad Thai was delicious and I cannot eat it all, more left overs for tomorrow. The Thom yum soup wasn't greasy like the other Thai restaurant I used to order from, and also spicier. We enjoy the food because it's freshly cooked and the food stays hot (temperature wise) while your eating. And we haven't been disappointed yet, plus the chicken egg roll is the bomb! Going to try other dishes next time. I really highly recommend you all try this place... read more

Ate lunch here, started with steamed dumplings as appetizer. These were ok, not bad but not amazing. The wrap was too chewy. I ordered pad se ew with medium spice. This dish was delicious and just the right level of spice and it was a very large portion. My husband ordered noodle seafood soup Thai hot. He loved it, he couldn't finish his either. I would definitely love to return to try another dish like a curry. The menu had several interesting options. Service was very friendly and professional. read more

Ive attended this establishment a few times and the food is always good. Don't get me wrong i always get the same thing but it's wonderful to me. It's never to busy and I never dine in cause they have only a handful of seats. As for what I eat is the Spicy Shrimp fried rice add beef and chicken. It takes me two days to eat it all. Prices are a little pricey but you will pay for what you love. Yea I got to give a 4 out of 5 due to the prices. Excellent read more

Yum, yum, yum. Ventured out to a new place and were extremely happy with it. Intimate place with a gigantic menu. We started off with the chicken satay. Perfectly cooked with a delicious peanut sauce and cucumbers and onions in a sweet vinegar. We both got our go-to dishes whenever we go to a new Thai restaurant (pork pad thai for the wife and pork pad see ew for me) and were happy with our choices. Very large portions (I polished off all of mine but wife ate about 1/2). Lots of take-out traffic. Super friendly guy working the floor/register/phone. Look forward to going back again to explore the menu. Might try one of the whole fish next time! read more

I wish I could give this restaurant 10 stars!! We called before we went to make sure they had rice noodles and gluten-free options. They were very friendly over the phone and ensured they would accommodate us. From the moment we walked in, we felt like we were sitting in a relative's dining room. Everyone there was AMAZING and overly accommodating. We have gluten sensitivities, one picky kid, and one indecisive kid, and they were so patient and kind and did not seem bothered by our gazillion questions at all. And the food was incredible!!! I honestly cannot say enough positive things. We are so excited to have found this gem so close to our home. We will definitely be visiting again! read more

My hubby and I are SO THANKFUL to have finally found a legit Thai spot. We moved to this area not too long ago and tried a couple of spots (with surprisingly good reviews) but were utterly disappointed. We've had Ban Mai Thai 3x now and were impressed every single time. It's our go-to place now! So far we've had their pineapple fried rice, drunken noodles, thom yum soup, red curry with shrimp, vegetarian egg rolls, beef stir fry vegetables, and kapow fried rice. All super good! My fav is the kapow fried rice with beef... Not even going to ask the hubby because he'll just say everything . Thanks Ban Mai Thai for existing! And Shout out to Paul who holds down the front end - he's always hustling yet still providing top notch customer service! Thanks Paul! read more
