The dining room
Martin F.

The Thai food here is excellent. I've been a fan of Thai food for at least 4 decades and this is the first place to offer crocodile (which I passed on) and their translation of Roti which I love! Beyond the food, the inside is will decorated and not with the traditional pictures or maps of Thailand. The hammered bronze on the wall, the couches to sit on at the table, the art on the table itself, amazing. To compete the tri-fecta, the service was spot on. The serving ware was elegant. The wife and I shared the Roti - light, crisp, flakey with a tasty sauce with some veggies in it for dip. I had the standby panang curry, ordering the entree size hoping I would have leftovers to take home however there were no survivors. I asked for medium spice ( 2 out of four) and I thought it was very tasty. Most people who want some heat in there good should go for "spicy". The wife had Pad Thai and thought the noodles were very fresh and tasty. All in all a great place to eat. Get there before 1:45 for lunch, the close the doors before 2.

Pad Thai seafood

This is without a doubt one of the best Thai restaurants I've been to in all of Texas! I was taken in by the warm, inviting atmosphere -- elegant Thai décor, soft ambient lighting, and intricate touches that made the space feel both cozy and transportive. It's the kind of place that immediately makes you feel relaxed and welcome. The staff were warm and welcoming. Now, let's talk about the food -- absolutely phenomenal. I ordered the seafood Pad Thai, and it was absolutely delicious! The noodles were perfectly cooked and coated in a tangy, slightly sweet tamarind sauce, with just the right kick of heat. You have the option to choose your heat level from 1-5; I went with the 2. It came loaded with shrimp, squid, and scallops -- all fresh, tender, and cooked to perfection. The portion was generous, and every bite was bursting with authentic flavor. If you're looking for authentic Thai cuisine with standout flavors, a calm and beautifully curated ambiance, and excellent service, this place is a must-visit. I'll definitely be back -- and soon!

Avocado curry

We had drunken noodles pineapple fried rice and avocado curry super delicious. Service was good and pleasant and quiet. Great music and clean place, plenty of parking space.

Red curry with chicken
Barbra M.

We started our meal with the crab angels. These were like crab rangoons, but pinched so they were totally closed. This is nice, because all the melty gooey goodness doesn't leak out. However, they are a little messy because they are smaller than a crab rangoon, but not small enough that you can just pop them in your mouth. So, you have to cut or bite into them. Worth a little mess, though, because they were fresh, hot and delicious. My husband had the spicy fried rice with chicken at spice level 3. He enjoyed it. It was a generous portion with a nice kick and plenty of chicken and veggies. There was enough that a to-go box was needed. I had the red curry with chicken at spice level 3. I wasn't optimistic when it came out because the sauce was very thin - really a soup broth consistency. However, the flavor was good and there was a nice amount of chicken and vegetables. Our server was very attentive and efficient. This is probably an anomaly, but we were there early and there weren't many guests - but there was a lot of noise from the kitchen. I wasn't sure if some of the employees were arguing loudly, or if the noise just carried because the restaurant was fairly empty. I'd definitely go back, and I look forward to trying the pad Thai when I do.

A friend suggested we try this place for our lunch date and I am so glad she did. This place is beautiful and the ambience inside set the tone for an enjoyable lunch. The young lady who took our drink orders and food orders was amazing. I think she is the owner because after we finished our meals, she came by to talk to us a little bit to tell us about the meaning of the name of the restaurant and about more items on their menu that they offer. She also let us know that this business is her pride and joy from the interior decorating and how well the food was presented and tasted, I wholeheartedly believe everything she said as far as this being her pride and joy. I ordered the shrimp fried rice with a side of garlic wings. They were amazing! The wings were fried crispy just how I like them and paired with the garlic sauce, it was a great combination. The shrimp fried rice did not need any soy sauce or anything I usually drown it in from any other establishment. This shrimp fried rice was flavored so perfectly! There were slices of onion inside of the rice that packed a satisfying crunch with just about every bite. I can't forget about the egg drop soup they give you before you order. It was delicious! I can confidently say it was the best I've ever tasted in my life. To wash everything down, I ordered the chai iced tea. It was my first time ever trying a chai tea and it will most definitely not be the last. It was delicious! The overall experience at this restaurant was a 10 out of 10! I'm so excited to have discovered this gem. I will be dining here more often.

I was looking for a sit-down Thai restaurant in the area and this place was 5 minutes away. The staff was very friendly and I was served quickly. The pad Thai was DELICIOUS and I wish I'd been able to try more. I will definitely be back next time I'm in the area.

Seafood Tom Yum Soup
Jgs J.

The service and food was wonderful. My only complaint would be the Mango/sticky rice and Thai iced coffee was extremely sweet. if they would cut the sweetness in half then both items would be delicious. As for comparing other Thai restaurants in the area, this would have to be the freshest. Overall the atmosphere is fun and love the decor.

Fantastic thai food. Very large menu. Phoenix was our server and very knowledgeable. Suggested the alligator basil which was fantastic. Crispy noodles were great also. But the shrimp rolls with the sauces were stupid good. Super cute place, comfortable couches. Very fancy

Sampler platter

My family dined here for the first time. The food was really good & fresh. We will definitely come back. Staff was very attentive.

Wow!! I have been on a mission to find great Asian food in Texas for the last fifteen years. I…read morefinally found it while rushing to get some food during a break in jury duty! I tried to find something "different" to avoid the lunch rush. What better than the side cafe in a Thai market? As hoped, it more than met the expectations. You turn left in the market and order from the cashier. There's some paper menus. Then you go to the other side and find a seat. Shortly afterwards this older gentleman will deliver the most amazing Thai meal you can imagine. Oh man, it almost makes me wish I get called up on jury duty again. I went with a classic Pad Thai lunch menu. Came with a wonderful spring role and some soup. Both were excellent. The Pad Thai was just insanely good. It's been about 20 years since I've been to Thailand so maybe my taste buds are aged, but it made me think I was back. If you ever want a great, hidden gem of Asian food - you have got to try this place out.

I pretty much ordered the whole menu back then... now recently I went back with my friends. It is still the way I remember it! You order at the counter and you can go around the supermarket waiting for your food The sweetest old man was doing the service at the tables. Every time he came around I wanted to get up and give him a hug! It definitely doesn't feel like Texas or even the US... even the drinks you can grab them from the cooler are Asian! I wish i lived closer I would go on a weekly basis!

They name everything weird, off the Thai standards, so if you order pineapple fried rice, you actually get "stir fried pineapple, with rice" and "pad kee mao", an extremely common noodle dish, arrives as "kee mao," a rice dish. They make no effort to try to clarify, understand, or making things rice. And the food is fine and overpriced. There are way better thai places in town, with far better service. Go there, please. If you're going to charge $20 for a rice dish, at least try to get it right and stand by your product.

This restaurant's version of Thai food was extremely disappointing…read more If the dishes were at least somewhat close to authentic Thai food, I could understand. But these weren't even close. We ordered the chicken satay and larb (laab). The "chicken satay" was simply a whole chicken breast served with a coconut sauce. Calling it Thai chicken satay is honestly embarrassing. Authentic Thai chicken satay is marinated in coconut milk, curry powder or yellow curry paste, turmeric, coriander, cumin, garlic, fish sauce, and palm sugar. It develops its signature yellow color and sweet-savory flavor before being grilled on skewers. Please look at the picture and judge for yourself. The larb was also disappointing. It was so sweet it tasted more like a dessert than larb. Authentic larb should be: * Tangy from lime juice * Savory from fish sauce * Fresh from herbs * Spicy from chilies * Slightly nutty from toasted rice powder Instead, it lacked the bright, bold flavors that make larb one of Thailand's most famous dishes. It was disappointing to see two simple and well-known Thai dishes prepared so far from their authentic flavors. I understand that restaurants sometimes adapt recipes to local tastes, but when a restaurant advertises itself as Thai, I expect dishes that at least resemble the flavors and preparation of traditional Thai food.
