I've never eaten here before or even heard of this place but we went last night because my bro n law was w/us and he suggested it. We were undecided but we said why not lets try it out and I'm so glad we did. I ordered the pad Thai w/beef and it was so yummy. The only thing I wish I would have ordered it more spicy. They also have Chinese food and they serve jasmine rice. read more

This place is amazing with the decorations to the food itself and the lunch prices . One of the best red curry soups, and surprisingly they have amazing wings. Their Asian fusion wings simply melt in your mouth. read more

See all

As stated on Yelp, they close at 9:30 pm on Saturdays, I showed up at 8:50 to place a order to go. Thinking it's not insanely rude of me.. boy, was I wrong! The lady that took my order screams through the back window "Y'all are going to hate me for this. Order to go (screams out my order) then says don't kill the messenger." Mind you I already paid so can't leave. Once I get home and open my hot and sour soup I instantly see egg in it.. they had the audacity to mix hot and sour soup with egg drop soup thinking their customer wasn't going to be able to tell the difference?!!!! I'm blown away by this experience. Never returning! read more

We ate lunch here today. Very short staffed, but what place isn't nowadays? The problem is the food. Hot and sour soup tasted like it had canned chicken noodle soup added to it. Green curry had a cream color to it, almost no curry flavor, a frozen pea/carrot/corn mixture in it, and full of red chile flakes. The rice was gummy. My husband's pineapple fried rice was also a mistake and had very very little pineapple. Very disappointing lunch. read more

I went here for a quick lunch break. The place seems pretty new and the interior is clean and nicely decorated. Although the place wasn't too busy, the waitstaff took a little while to help me. The food was okay, but nothing great. I ordered their pad thai lunch special which came with a bowl of hot and sour soup. The soup was nothing great and the pad thai is nothing to write home about. I asked for extra sprouts and lime, when they brought it out to me, it didn't seem like they added and "extra" and yet they charged me 50cents for it. The noodles in the pad thai were cooked well, not too soggy, but the pad thai sauce almost seemed soupy and runny - there was a definite puddle of sauce at the bottom of the bowl. read more

Best Thai food in this area of town.. That's not a compliment, there are no Asian restaurants in this side of town. It's one small step above Panda Express. If you are familiar with Thai food; know that the only things this place knows how to cook are the noodle dishes and boba drinks. And get them "to go" because the customer service is awful. The staff seems to hate their jobs. I pick up Pad Won Sen occasionally just because it's close to my house and I need my Thai fix but if I lived further north I'd never come back here. Also in addition to being closed on Sunday's they now for some reason they close at 6pm on Saturday?? I can only assume business is really slow and they might close for good soon. read more

We dropped in to the Chaba Thai off Military Drive the other evening for dinner. We were greeted immediately and our waitress was very attentive. There were only 2 other tables occupied at 7pm. The restaurant was nicely decorated and VERY clean. We ordered the Pad Thai with shrimp and spring rolls. Everything was plated nicely and served hot. The ingredients tasted fresh and the portions were a good size. I'll definitely drop back in again when I'm up this way. read more

Walked in restaurant at 8:40 pm. We frequent this place because it's close to home and I like their summer rolls. The waitress was blatantly annoyed that we walked in, and she yelled to the back of the house sorry we got another table. They obviously didn't want us there so we left. I was really upset and have never been treated that way in any restaurant. And what really pisses me off is that we always tip 20% to that same waitress who offers sub par service at best.. I will NEVER GO THERE AGAIN, and I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO ANYONE. read more

This place is forgettable, unfortunately. Chicken in our dish was obviously old and reheated. The summer rolls were tiny and almost totally rice noodle instead of the veggies. Oh yes, and we had to adjust our glasses to see the tiny shrimp. read more

Stopped in at Chaba Thai for lunch and was underwhelmed. The lunch menu was like the portions provided; small and unimpressive. It was a clean place and the service was fair. As far a the quality of the food, it was ok. read more

Although the restaurant was only half full, when we arrived around noon, we had to wait quite awhile to be seated. We started with Spring Rolls. They were crisp, crunchy and delicious with the peanut sauce. When I asked for soy sauce, the waiter, apologetically, brought little pouches, saying that all their cruets being used. The Egg Drop soup that came with the meal was well flavored but not quite hot enough. I asked our waiter what kind red wine was available for $3.50. He didn't know but then brought out two opened bottles, one of Pinot Noir and another of Cabernet Sauvignon. I chose the Pinot Noir and it was good. My wife ordered a $5.99 luncheon special of fish with ginger sauce which she enjoyed. My bite of it was too bland for my taste. I ordered their Pad Thai which I enjoyed after I added a pouch of soy sauce, some sweet sauce, and a little of their hot pepper sauce. With my glass of wine and hot tea for my wife, the bill was about $24.00 read more

I have tried this restaurant SEVERAL times because it is close to me, but I am disappointed every single time. I usually order to-go and it usually takes at least 10-15 minutes to check out (after calling in my order at least 15 minutes ahead of time.) The food quality is very inconsistent. Sometimes it is decent, sometimes it is borderline inedible. Today I ordered their Thai beef salad and it was about half the serving size I'm used to and the peanut sauce was very watery. My husband ordered their Thai fried rice and the rice was undercooked and crunchy. I am done trying this place. My husband and I love Thai food, but this restaurant as disappointed us for the last time. read more

Excellent! Very reasonably priced, excellent selections and service. The Hawaiin Rice has a fabulous presentation in half a pineapple. Loved it! read more

Mongolian beef was not appetizing at all. Half the beef was in edible from gristle. The only thing that was decent was the rice and carrots... read more

This restaurant had wonderful food... Possibly the best sweet and sour chicken I've had in a while (not the best ever). Now As much as I liked the food I didn't care for one thing in regards to the atmosphere and that for some reason they must think that it needs to be dark in their restaurant. Not sure why... It was lunch time with my boss, not date night with my spouse. IDK, not a big deal but it just irritated me. Anyway, I liked the food and I would say if you are on the south side and want Thai food you will definitely get your money's worth here... Just bring a flashlight. read more

Food was good, but it lacked customer service! Didn't feel welcomed at all. Don't think I'll be back there even though if the food was good. Very disappointing! read more

Great bubble tea. Ate here a couple of times with friends. Close to Stinson KSSF lunch specials are reasonable and are enough for two to eat. read more

Dumpling appetizer was delicious. I also had sweet and sour soup and shrimp pad Thai. loved everything .

If you are looking for badass thai food on the south side, then this is your spot! Thai food on point! Good egg drop soup and the chicken lettuce wraps! Stop it! You need to check it out! read more

I ordered the tofu pad Thai and the noodles were very brown and seasoned differently. Also if you ask for the lowest level of spicy (medium), it's still very spicy. I liked the option to add a fried egg on top of my food. read more

The food was not from Thailand. The service was good they were quick but the food was not even close to Thai food. It tasted like frozen food they warmed in a microwave that they had thawed out a month ago. The "spring roll" I got was only a spring roll wrapper fried. There was nothing inside of it! The egg drop soup was the only thing I could eat. read more

HORRIBLE! Zero customer service. Sat for 10 minutes, left without even having my drink order taken.

Thai hot Tom Kha Gai was bearable. The soup was delicious , served hot in a heated soup tureen.

Located in Brooks City Base, parking can be challenging if you are looking for in and out. But there is plenty and you may have to walk. I had lunch and dinner. Both were very good. Spicy is not a real hot spicy, The provide low medium and Hot Spice... and they will add to any dish you request. Typical Thai food with noodle, good fish plates. Portions are a little small for the price but the taste is good. Staff is attentive and friendly read more

It was so dark in there. Like a cave. The in ceiling lights weren't on, so maybe that was it, but also 9 lights were out. (I got so bored waiting for our server or anyone to greet our table after 5 minutes, I counted.) We were the 6th table in the restaurant at the time, and the server apologized for the wait, it all happened at once, and I am in no way faulting her, but other staff were chatting with friends at a table and could've helped her out. But even though our server was nice, the food not so much. The hot and sour soup was watery and translucent, almost clear. It was also neither hot OR sour. I got the pad Thai and the chicken was SO dry. Good seasoning, but the dry chicken absolutely killed it. My mom got the pad khing, and the black mushrooms? NOT black mushrooms. So there's that. The seasoning was also just not right, and even though she ordered it "hot" it wasn't, it was just...blah...and no amount of the hot oil could save it. Would I recommend? NO read more

I ordered the Pad Thai chicken dish hot. This tasted exactly like dry dog food smells. Brought it to our waitresses attention and she said she'd tell the chef. But we were still billed for this dish. Not likely to return. Fried dumplings were very good read more

Nice restaurant - clean atmosphere- food was very good. Staff was very friendly and courteous.

Very good Thai in Brooks City Base area that balances out the predominantly comfort food, fast-food & American offerings. Lunch special (Padh Thai) at $6.99 came with drink and spring roll. read more

I ordered the pad Thai with tofu and no fish sauce to veganize this dish as I do with no problems at any Thai place. The server returned later to state they were unable to do this, as it wouldn't be considered 'Pad Thai.' I told him to just have the chef stir fry all the ingredients without fish sauce and they could call the dish whatever they want. As I went to pay, the cashier laughed at me and repeated they couldn't make Pad Thai without fish sauce and patronizingly said it would be like making ketchup without tomatoes. He laughed and said they had put fish sauce in my dish despite my request. I've never had this problem at any other Thai place! I will NOT be back! read more

Probably one of the worst Thai restaurants in town. The server was rude and acted like we were inconveniencing her by being there! The food was bland. I have NEVER before had Thai food that I would describe as bland. Everything that we had tasted old and bland. read more

I love the food here! I almost always get the tofu pad thai. The only improvement that could be made is the service. It's alright, but not excellent. It's definitely worth it for the food though. read more

The only reason I am giving them a 2 star is cause their Thai soup was good, everything else was bad. Service and there pad Thai were not good. The pad Thai came with lemon instead of lime, the chicken was very dry and the Pad Thai did not have any flavor. We tried putting hot oil and more lemon but we could not save it. We discussed back and forth if we should return it and finally agree we both wouldn't eat it. Told the server and ask for a Thai salad. 15 mins later he said they were just about to start making it and if we wanted it to go. (Since they where closing in the next 10 mins) Thought that was bad etiquette. read more

This was my first time trying this place and it was so gross! The green curry had frozen peas, carrots, and green beans. It didn't even take taste like green curry. The steam rice was just as gross. I also order a boba tea, it was extra for the tapioca and when it was made they didn't even blend it all the way it. I will never go there again. read more

One of the closest Thai places to us as we live near CityBase. Happily surprised by the selection of food and drink. Good vegan options. This place will definitely be on the regular rotation. read more

no, not the greatest Thai in SA, but above average to most Asian food places. every noodle dish I've had has been good. not outstanding, but good enough to go back. i've been trending vegetarian lately, so the noddles with crispy fried tofu fill the bill. this is not my go-to Thai by any stretch of the imagination, but since it is close to work, it works just fine. i'm a huge fan of thai dee and thai house, and a sort of fan of yaya's (love the soups). i haven't had a bad meal here, and that's saying a lot, considering the many bad thai meals i've had in SA. you won't be dazzled here, but you wont be disappointed. i have not tried any of the chinese entrees on the menu, so ymmv. read more

I've worked in the area for the past 10 years and been eating here for at least 9 of those years. My coworkers and I actually frequent this place about once a week. The food is always good, service is good and the $6.99 price for a Thai lunch special that includes soup is awesome. For the area, it's one of the best lunch specials. I see other reviewers complaining about food quality or service but I've honestly never had an issue with either and I've been coming here a long time. In the surrounding area there are so many chain restaurants and this really is a local business gem. The owner is always present when I go and very friendly. read more

I had been craving some Thai, and Chaba is close to the A&M Books City Base campus, and I had some time before class, might as well right? The decor was minimalist and clean, and fairly dark inside, which was fine with me. The waitress was aloof, but when I needed something she was quick. I ordered the chicken pad thai. I LOVE pad thai, and was really looking forward to it. The food came out quickly. However, the taste of the food was mediocre. The best way I can explain it is that the peanut sauce tasted burnt and as if they simply bought ready made stuff at HEB and overheated it. The limes were terrible too; very little juice, lots and lots of pulp.I was also very disappointed it didn't have tofu included. Perhaps their other dishes are good but if their pad thai is a representation of how their other dishes are, I'll pass. read more

Carried out for the first time today. Sat down and my desk and dug-in! I think I came up 3 times for air. I had the pad thai chicken medium spice. It was really good. I will be returning soon to try the wings & Sapporo. read more

Very good food at a reasonable price. Unfortunately never crowded, no clue why this place isn't more popular but until it is enjoy no waiting for a table or food. Pad see ewe and spring rolls are my go to here, very good. Sweet tea is also amazing. read more

The best thing I have to say about this place.... is that its clean. The food was ok and just that. I had pad thai with no bean sprouts. How is it pad thai without bean sprouts? Flavors were ok but the springroll was greasy and gross. Service sucked, I spent the majority of my meal with nothing to drink. Don't waste your time or money. Go to thai cafe on rigsby. That's what I get for trying somewhere new! read more
