    Egg drop soup appetizer.
    Sonia H.

    I love Thai food and Dahlia's was recommended to me by a friend. I went for lunch and it was nice to see they have a large selection of plates on their lunch special menu. In addition, the meal is served with either a soup or salad starter. Based on past reviews, the Pad Thai (sp?) is popular but, I decided to try the Dahlias Noodle dish. My protein in my dish was chicken, the veggies were fresh and the base is vermicelli noodles. My dish was a level 3 spice and it was perfect. I liked the dish but, the chicken was coated in some type of curry (not sure what it was). The curry flavor was very strong and unfortunately a little grainy. Service was great.

    I used to live in SA 6 years ago. This was my go to Thai place as a student, it was good food with generous portion. I've come back few times after I moved away as well. Last time I came back was about a year ago and it was still good. Today I came back and ordered my usual, Pad kee maw and pineapple fried rice. It was so different than how I remember it! Fried rice was so so sweet. And pad kee maw was too greasy, with no flavor. I remember it being so flavorful and delicious when I used to get them. Maybe my taste in Thai food changed, or the chef changed. I'm not too sure. But today I didn't enjoy my two favorites back in the day. I'm giving three stars because the servers were really nice. Hopefully they can make a come back to what it was.

    It's a bit unfortunate to lower the rating but our recent visit was not as good as it used to be in the past. My wife used to come here a lot while she was studying but now as we live near the Austin we cannot come often. We came down to San Antonio because of her birthday weekend and out of many restaurants we could choose we decided to come here for lunch as she missed this place. We ordered Drunken noodles and pineapple fried rice and they were both too greasy and drunken noodles were too plain and needs good amount of salt and soy sauce! The fried rice was too sweet as well. I'm not sure whether people here like that but it was a bit too much for us. The server lady was very nice so I won't put 1 star but foods need to improve a bit for vegetarian style as it was good before. Hope to see the improvement one day.

    Soy sauce noodles

    I am not kidding, there was a time where ordered food from here literally every week. Me and my classmates made a tradition of it. I absolutely love their Pad See Ewe (soy sauce noodles) and order it every time. I have tried it at other restaurants and this one still holds the prize. I have sampled some of their other dishes and they were good, but again, the soy sauce noodles are the staple for me. Service is always kind, though a little slow. I usually order take out from here but it's a quiet and nice place to sit down at too.

    I decided to go here while in Texas and 2nd time here. The person who took my order was very nice. I was not disappointed when I got back to my room. The rice was tasty, the tofu was okay. I did not need any sauce, an my dessert was good and a lot of food. I have lunch for tomorrow! The atmosphere was quiet, nothing fancy. Glad I found a good meal!!!

    54. Paht Thai

    I came here on NYE with the Things and a guest before going out to see fireworks, so as the last meal of 2022, we wanted to go somewhere we could all enjoy! Let's go through a run down on some of the things we got! Ready? Thai Egg Rolls These egg rolls were simple ground pork rolls with pieces of carrot through out. Chicken Satay Thai Chicken Satay is a popular starter on Thai restaurant menus along with Thai Fish Cakes. There are many variations of chicken satay recipes, which in essence, means chicken marinated in spices, skewered, and grilled. The chicken on this dish was grilled nicely, making for a nice pairing with the side of salty fish sauce (yes, I used fish sauce on chicken, so report me to the food police). Tom Yum Soup I love Tom Yum soup! It is my absolute favorite soup in the world. The Thai word for "boil" or tom (pronounced "dtome") features prominently on Thai menus and tom yum goong is probably one of the most famous Thai dishes in the world. Now let's talk about the "yum". This word literally means mixing things together to achieve the mélange of sweet, sour and spicy notes that typify a yum. The marriage of the words "tom yum", therefore, results in a yum broth brought to a boil. But THIS Tom Yum was none of those things.. This soup was bland and lacked lemon grass (which is a key ingredient in this dish). This soup was served with chicken as the protein as opposed to shrimp or prawn. Pho Soup Yes, Pho was served at a Thai restaurant. Normally, I wouldn't order a Vietnamese dish from someplace that notes they specialize in Thai food, but by technicality, I didn't order this, Thing Two did. This soup, like the Tom Yum was bland and left much to be desired. The Prince of Thais Special The fish in this dish first came out raw. The dish was supposed to be seared salmon but wasn't seared at all. When the dish was brought back to the table after being returned, the fish after getting past the heavy sauce that covered it was a small serving equivalent to a child's portion. While the fish was cooked properly the second time around, it was executed nicely but not worth the price point for what was served. Pineapple Fried Rice Although Pineapple Fried Rice is of Thai origin, there are iterations of it all around the world. While some recipes use little more than a dash of soy sauce, the recipe here was not served in the traditional manner. It lacked the 'peak of freshness' pineapple (the pineapple was dull) and the vegetables were bland. Overall, this meal was one that was memorable for the wrong reasons. This is not an establishment I would visit again as it lacked traditional Thai taste or any real taste at all. Three stars is generous....

    Egg noodles
    Ashley W.

    I ordered the 39. Lad Nah Mee Krob (Crispy egg noodles), which is around $11. You can choose your protein! I thought the egg noodles had a nice crunch and the toppings were plentiful. There are lots of veggies, like bok chow, broccoli, snow peas, and red peppers! The server was kind and attentive. There were not that many customers on a Saturday afternoon. Overall, I liked my dish (because I don't often make crispy egg noodles myself), but I don't think it is the most amazing Thai food that I have ever tried. Good value though!

    Drunken Noodles
    Elizabeth L.

    Fun little Thai place right in the heart of Medical Center!! I've heard a lot of people say good things about here, the flavor profile is strong and makes you want to keep eating. Our server was an attentive quiet man, and the food came out very quickly. Food was hot and fresh and packed to the top of the plate, roughly $13-$15 per plate! Lots of places to sit and lot bigger inside than what it's perceived.

    34. Paht Thai

    AMAZING! No other words to describe the food is awesome and so are the people there. Literally could not ask for a better experience with these people and the food is just to die for the eggrolls I got and pad Thai I got were absolutely perfect. Literally if you're ever thinking of getting any sort of Thai cuisine go to this place.

    pad 34. Paht Thai
    Sara C.

    Its local , its decent .. but not the best. Why is it so hard to find good thai food in SA. Its not that its the worst but it could be better. My friends and I showed up when they just opened the doors. There was no one in there to seat us or even greet us. the tables and seats felt a little sticky and not clean. There's a lot of seating inside which is good. I believe I got Pad Thai that day. It was so sticky and gooey. It had way too much sauce and although i wanted it spicy for some reason it was sweet..... My friends seemed to be okay with their dishes too but wasn't impressed. Even for a local thai restaurant i believe i can find something better for the price.

    Curry Puffs
    Iyare O.

    Tried Dahlias for the first time for lunch, heard good things so I came to check it out for myself. Our server was quick, polite, and attentive to our needs. Food came out quickly (under 10 min) and was nice and hot upon arrival. We first had the curry puffs which I'd say were quite the treat. Flavors and texture were on point, would definitely recommend. Curry Puffs: 8.5/10 Chicken Paht Thai (spice level 4) was good as well. I like spicy food so 4 was just right for me especially considering it's a generally sweet dish. Chicken was solid nothing good or bad to say about it. Chicken Paht Thai: 8/10 Sesame Chicken was okay. Sauce was pretty good but wish it was tossed in it rather than poured on top. Sesame Chicken: 7/10 Overall the food was good and would recommend to anyone looking for Thai food. Overall rating: 7.7

I was running errands at the nearby Cuban Grocery Co. and decided to finally give BSCH a try based on the 5 star reviews. It was easy to place my order online while still in my car. By the time I finished my shopping and loaded my groceries into the car, my food was almost ready. When I walked in on a late Tuesday morning the restaurant was empty. There's ample seating and the restaurant smelled and looked squeaky clean. An employee welcomed me warmly and asked if I wanted water while I waited for them to finish preparing my meal. She was extremely, and genuinely, kind and showed great hospitality, down to labeling the containers. When I got home all of the food was still hot, which is a big green flag for me. The garlic chicken was slightly dry, but packed with tons of garlicky flavor. The choice of chicken breast, while appealing to most, was disappointing, but I still enjoyed the dish. The rice was fluffy and garnished with peas, which shows intention. My Tom Yum soup was comforting and had just the right amount of shrimp as to not be too skimpy or too gluttonous. I do wish I had more veggies, but that's just a personal preference. I'll definitely return to Bayleaf and bring my family. I recommend it if not because you don't feel that level of hospitality these days.

Over those years I have never seen many cars here, no matter the time of day. I'd admit, the main reason I went was the drive through. The sushi was mid teir at best. The rice has always been unseasoned and late at night, obviously left over from the lunch service. The nigiri is often improperly ratio'd and never comparable between previous visits. Most of the rolls are an assault to the senses and I normally stayed between 5 of them. I believe they use aggressive ingredients to hide their average fish quality. Its not terrible, but I never had the desire to order their sashimi. My second to last visit i requested if I could sub out salmon instead of a tuna. An easy enough change, which every sushi place ive ever been to, was the same price. I was met with the information it would be a 5 dollar sub fee. Which is very high for most places. More so when its only difference is what fish you grab from the cooler. I declined the sub. My last, and it will be my last, I called in an order at 12:18. Ordered what I've always ordered and got there pretty promptly. Waited in the drive through behind another car for about twenty minutes. When it was finally my turn I paid and waited. Waited till about 1 o'clock when thr woman ducked her head out and side they are working in my last roll. I asked if it would always be this long. So immediately snapped at me with "we open at 12:45" and shut the windows. With the tone like I was the one out of line when it was them who answered and took my order at 12:18. Was another 10 minutes or so before I finally got my order. If this is the treatment that a loyal regular, who they know the order before they even say it, is treated, I feel bad for the new comers. I will admit the main reason I came here is the drive through as its a unique characteristic not offered at many other places. But before you try this place, keep my review in mind, and the fact theres likely going to be one other car there, and they have to serve things like "sushi in a tube" to make up for a lack of anything actually special to offer.

Alas, was really craving some 蔥油餅, and this was the only place that offered delivery with them! I am sad to report that @ the very premium price of $5 for a single pancake, it would have been a far more worthwhile choice to take an Uber to the Asian grocery store to buy an entire package of 8 to 10 frozen ones for practically the same price! Same goes for pretty much everything else. Buying the frozen versions would have been not only me expensive, but the tasteful pleasure would have been on par if not better. Bibigo, I Mei, Wei Chan are a few recommended frozen food companies that would serve you better! Taste profile for all items were mediocre at best. $6 Takoyoki Balls were probably the best, but even then, I have had far better for less dinero. The supposedly main course sized Donburi Gyudon was nowhere with the price, but it was at least pretty good. The 75 percent rice was good but obviously more meat would have been nice for $12. Not to be boringly dissimilar in my assessment, but the soups also are not recommended when they are so pricey. TLDR, eat here expecting average but overpriced food. When you consider value, this place is highly recommended- to avoid!
