    Pad Thai

    Thoroughly enjoyed our meal. The staff was polite, prompt and professional; and the dining room was extremely clean. We ordered the Pad Thai, Yellow Curry and Drunken Noodles, all with chicken as the protein, and they all were very good. The heat level in the Drunken Noodles was definitely there, but not over the top. We'll definitely be coming back.

    A great family owned restaurant with excellent service, amazing ambiance, and the finest Thai food in the entire Houston area!

    Lunch Chicken Pad Thai takeout
    Brian T.

    Super impressed that Lake Jackson has a decent Thai restaurant. Grabbed lunch for takeout here on a weekday and I was pleased. I got the chicken pad thai lunch special, which was $9 (beef and shrimp are an additional $2 if you prefer those protein options). The pad thai was really good and had a deep peanuty flavor, which I really like in my Thai food. Flavor-wise, this was comparable to some of my fav Thai spots in Houston. One complaint I have for takeout lunch is that it doesn't include the side salad. I've had this before when dining in and was looking forward to it but unfortunately, the salads are strictly for dine-in. It's disappointing to me that you pay the same price for the lunch special in both the dine-in and takeout scenarios - the takeout just has less food (no side salad). I'm not sure if they somehow compensate by giving a slightly larger portion size but regardless, it's an off-putting impression that you're getting gipped when doing takeout. Another complaint I have is that I had to wait almost 10 minutes to get helped when I arrived at the hostess stand to pick up my food. Several waitstaff walked by but it wasn't until a good amount of time later that one of them actually acknowledged someone was waiting. Why all the hate for takeout customers!? Definitely can be improved upon.

    The garlic pepper dish
    Darlene O.

    DISAPPOINTED. With stellar reviews on Yelp and Google I'm thinking my experience will be similar. I ordered a ton of food to try because I'm in the area on a work assignment and my location doesn't have many food options. The shrimp roll appetizer 1/5. The rice paper it was fried in was soggy not crisp. The overall shrimp roll had no flavor even after pulling out the shrimp from its fried rice paper roll. Would not recommend. Coconut soup with chicken. Chicken is overcooked, the soup is very watery and although it is dense with mushrooms, chicken and some vegetable can't remember if bamboo shoots or green onions, it lacked flavor. I usually SLURP coconut soup but I sipped it like tea because I didn't want my money to waste. 1/5 would not recommend Ordered the garlic pepper chicken because the lady who took my order recommended it over Panang curry. Flavor is there and the beef is tender. But BEWARE the dish is filled with black peppercorns so that unexpected crunch can throw you for a loop. ESPECIALLY when you find some sliver of whatever you want to call what was embedded in my rice. I was so disgusted after dumping the rice in the box container on my plate to warm it up and I saw that. Won't be returning or supporting this place again.

    Yellow chicken curry, very good flavor!

    A great little spot to stop when you're ready for a delicious Thai meal that really hits the spot!…read more I was passing through and had never tried The Garden Thai before, but I'm so glad I did. Thai is my favorite food, so I can be a little picky--it can definitely be hit or miss for me--but this place was a HIT. The Pad Thai was exceptional: flavorful, fresh, and perfectly balanced without being overly salty or sweet, which can sometimes happen with Pad Thai. The fresh spring rolls were delicious, and the Tom Yum soup was absolutely perfect. And I have to mention the service because it makes such a difference! A great attitude from the staff can completely change the vibe of a restaurant, and everyone here was attentive, welcoming, and very well trained. It made the entire experience that much better. Thank you for the delicious food and wonderful service! My visit was actually a while ago, but I'm finally taking the time to catch up on my reviews, haha--and this was definitely one I wanted to come back and write. Highly recommend!

    They don't use msg. : )…read more They can make what they call 'weakened version' (at least I think that's what she was saying) of menu items, making them without the usual sauce, but with salt (and sugar, as it turns out) - which is lifesaving for people traveling with chronic health issues who really shouldn't be eating out at all - (except if you're super sensitive to sugar...) I liked the relaxed atmosphere. I wanted to try sitting outside but it was too windy and there was dust and leaves and crap blowing around. The water tasted good, which is very rare for restaurants these days! Of course they served it in old plastic cups, though. They include the tax when 'recommending' a tip amount (of 20, 22 or 25%!) - um, that's a bit sketchy, guys.... So is not having the prices on the menu - it came to over $50 for two dishes and one drink.

    The name is fitting. Thai Stellar is stellar. I stopped by on a Saturday early afternoon for lunch…read more As you would expect since it's Pearland, parking isn't an issue in the free lot they share with several other businesses including TJ's Filipino. Ambiance (3.5/5): Thai Stellar is a small but nice restaurant. We were seated at a booth. I love a good both, and that is what most of the seating consists of at this Thai restaurant. Service (4.5/5): Overall, the service was quite good. Efficient and attentive. Two of the main things I look for. Drinks (3.5/5): I ended up going with an orange soda, because the da chanh, fresh lemonade, was quite pricey. I couldn't justify it. Food (4/5): I went with the combination pad see ew which comes with chicken, beef, and pork. Pad see ew is my favorite Thai dish and it is done at a high level here. The noodles are perfection. The sauce is perfection. And there's a good amount of meat. It's a little pricey though I get that you're getting three meats. That seems to be the trend at Thai Stellar. We stayed away from the satay appetizer for the same reason and opted for the more affordable egg rolls (2). Which were crispy and complimented nicely by some sweet chili sauce. Overall, excellent food. Just more than you would expect to pay at a neighborhood restaurant in the suburbs.

    Small update on individual dishes during my last visit:…read more4.5/5 Pad Thai - A little dry this time around, could use more sauce but the taste was still overall good. Also wished that the peanuts were on the side rather than on the dish by default, so I'll keep that in mind. 5/5 Kao Pad - Spice level 1.5 seems wimpy, but it is perfect that way. SO extremely flavorful and the steak is so nicely cooked. Also love the tomatoes. 5/5 Ahi Tuna - I legit could go here and only get this. Everything about it is so perfect (other than the wasabi, because who invited wasabi to this perfect dish?) 4.5/5 Panang Curry - Very enjoyable, though I do wish there was more protein to the dish. 3/5 Asparagus and Crab - Kind of a disappointment. I don't think the two complement each other in any meaningful way. 3/5 Chilean Sea Bass - Chilean Sea Bass is so incredibly overrated. For the price and what we got, it simply left us wanting more of something else (I forgot what the dish is called... whoops, there is a picture) 4.5/5 Raad Prick - Plenty flavorful, though I do feel that there should be more to this dish like vegetables, but it does allow the fish to stand out.

    Merlion is still a solid 5 star in my books. We went last night for a date night, I tried the…read moresignature dish with a Chilean sea bass upgrade per our waiter's recommendation which was absolutely phenomenal. Merlion was super busy yet the service was surprisingly attentive from the entire staff despite having to park several blocks over due to the crowd! I actually came back to update this review to give a shout out to our waiter Bryan. He's been our waiter the last 5 or so visits regardless of when we come or what part of the restaurant we sit in, and he somehow manages to elevate the already fantastic experience we have. He's insightful on the menu without being pushy, remembers our unique requests, checks in on us without being too much, and strikes a great balance on engagement without intruding. I haven't been writing as many reviews as of late but Bryan's service had me dusting off the old digital keyboard. All that to say thanks Merlion, I'd say never change but over the years every change yall have made has been for the better!
