    I came in for lunch because I was craving Thai. They had a great a selection, but I settled for the Pad Kee Mao and appetizers bar. That kept me full for the rest of my day. The service was good as the waitress topped off my water often. The restaurant was fairly cleaned and had plenty of seatings. Great for accommodating all customers during the lunch rush. I would come back for lunch. Best Bang for your money hands down.

    The lunch menu is a great value, and if you can deal with a rather noisy lunch experience and are only there for the food, definitely put it on your bookmarks. I meant fellow Yelper Brian T for lunch and we sat in the back of the restaurant where there's a little alcove and I felt like it registered louder than a Def Leppard concert in the 80s. The appetizer bar is tasty with their crispy tempura, sushi rolls, and Tom Yum soup but the star is the fish sauce and the dried chili flakes. I got the pad see ew pork and the noodles were totally perfect but if it wasn't for the Thai chili flakes and the fish sauce, pepper vinegar, it was a little bland, even with the mild pepper order. The Thai coffee was amazing and at $3.99 it's a good value. I recommend coming, but if you're having a serious lunch conversation, the tile and acoustics definitely are noisy so bring earplugs or learn sign language.

    Had a good dinner with my friends! Dining space is quite wide so we got to have nice dinner all together! The orders came fairly quickly with a good service! :) We had a good dining here so I recommend this restaurant for good meals! :)

    Chicken Peanut Sauce

    This is my favorite Thai food spot in Houston. The service is usually good and it's never too busy unless you go around lunch time. I usually get egg rolls and edamame as an appetizer and the peanut chicken. They finally started serving alcohol under the new owner so that's a plus. The restaurant is in an old house type building so it's a quiet type of dinner spot. Their chili powder is extremely good if you love spicy.

    Did you know they add this to every order?
    Mei S.

    Been going here for years to get my to-go orders whenever I'm too busy to cook. Sometimes I pay cash, sometimes I pay with card. What I didn't realize is this restaurant ADDS A FEE for whatever reason, and calling it a Cash Discount -- which is not a discount, as it is added, not subtracted. I'm shocked by this and very disappointed in the way they do business. They printed this when I walked in to pick-up my order, so they didn't know how I was going to pay. This was automatically added regardless of the method of payment. I went home to find two previous receipts, and just noticed this charge was on there. Again, doesn't matter how you pay!

    Spicy Eggplant

    One thing I really like about this place is the appetizer bar, I haven't seen that in a while and I like getting the chance to sample a bunch of apps. However some of them looked like they have been sitting there a while. The service is friendly and the food is decent. I got the cashew nut. It was pretty good but not super authentic in my opinion. Big portions though. Also lots of vegan options!

    This place is one of those "not fancy, but amazing food" category. Food always fresh, tasty and good portion size, although the pad Thai was missing a bit of flavor. the service was fast and good. The restaurant is bring your own bottle kind of deal. So, if you are the type that like a drink with your meal you will need to bring it you. It's is good for small and large parties, and the atmosphere is pretty relaxed and enjoyable. There is a parking lot right across the restaurant.

    Strange decor
    Susan P.

    I should have known. Alongside I-10 there lives a cluster of bars and restaurants that inhabit a small sorta shared space that attracts those looking for a pleasant afternoon, happy hour and meal. We pulled up today hoping to visit one bar and grille and even though it was early the place was hopping and so we made a fatal decision to move to the least populated one of the group, Ginger Thai. We walked into a huge but empty dining room, without a single patron. The menu was expansive and featured a lot of Thai favorites and so despite the empty room, we decided to give it a go...mistake number 2. We started with appetizers, shrimp and pork egg rolls and an order of spring rolls and the oddities continued to build. The eggroll contents had a yellow tint, a sort of jaundiced look with an underlying hint of curry. Different but not unpleasant. The spring rolls appeared to be standard fare until you dipped them into the accompanying peanut sauce which was strangely thin and sweet. Our server was not as knowledgeable of the menu as one would expect and when I asked if the charcoal grilled pork with vermicelli on the menu was a Vietnamese dish or a Thai version she was rendered speechless but ultimately said probably Vietnamese but they likely added something to it. For our mains we ventured to try a Crispy Chicken Pad Thai and the Charcoal grilled pork. The pad thai was again surprisingly sweet though the fried chicken cutlet was a nice touch. The grilled pork had nice grill marks but lacked marinating and the accompanying fish sauce was cloyingly sweet and appeared to be a strange mashup of duck and fish sauces. The building and decor can use repair and updates as well. Looks like this spot may need some revitalization. Not some place I will revisit.

    Cheese roll with cilantro sauce
    Monica W.

    Had the cheese rolls with a really different but super yummy cilantro dipping sauce. Basil fried rice and panang tofu.

    Yellow Curry
    Yasser H.

    This place was recommend by my barber to try out. I was not impressed at all. As far as covid restrictions, they were in place. Masked required upon entry and spacing was good. As far as food, it fell below standards. We ordered Thai basil chicken and yellow curry chicken. I could not taste any basil in my chicken nor could I view any traces of it on the dish. Perhaps they brought a wrong dish. I had requested spice level 4 but felt like eating a level 2. The yellow curried chicken's curry was actually very flavorful, but the potatoes in the dish were raw!!! They were not boiled. In my culture, if u serve a dish with potatoes and they are not boiled/cooked properly, then u will be called out!!! It's embarrassing and insulting. The rice was cheap quality, dried up. Also, it was $4 upgrade to beef or shrimp. First time I've heard that in any Thai restaurant. The most I've paid is about $2. This would have cost $8 extra just to upgrade protein. That's a dish on it's own. We saw our server at time of order and then when it was time for the tab. Sub/par service. I gotta let my barber know to change her opinion of this place. Failure.

    Pas Se Ewe with shrimp
    Shayna D.

    Fantastic Chicken Pad Thai. Definitely a must try. I usually have a few dishes I stick to but the Pad Thai is now on my list. Plenty of fresh bean sprouts, leeks and peanuts. They added extra tamarind sauce just like I asked. The only thing missing was a slice of lime. Still amazing. Lunch comes with soup or salad so that's a plus.

    Great fresh food. went there around 11:30AM.. before gets busy especially on Fridays. Excellent customer service. The selections were great! Server was coming over to make sure everything was okay.. refilled in a timely manner. We enjoyed it! 5 stars from me.

    It is a convenient restaurant when you are in the area. The food and service are fast. Lovely Appetizers Bar set up.

    This is one of my favorite Thai restaurants near my home! What really caught my attention is that…read moreit combines a Thai restaurant and a small Thai grocery market all in one, which I thought was such a cool concept. The dining area is pretty small, with around 10 tables, but it was surprisingly busy with so many people coming in to eat. It gave me that hidden-gem kind of feeling, like a local spot that people know is really good. The food was honestly delicious and tasted quite authentic compared to other Thai restaurants I've tried. Everything was flavorful and well-seasoned, and our food came out surprisingly fast. The staff was also very friendly and welcoming. Definitely a little hidden gem that I'm happy to have found near my home. I'll definitely be coming back!

I wouldn't necessarily sit down here but if you want to you can. More of a grocery store than sit down restaurant. Khao soi gai: 7/10 This was so flavorful and delicious but definitely should have opted for the chicken instead of the soft shell crab I wasn't really a fan of the crab. Love the flavors and textures though. Definitely want to try with chicken and I recommend getting some rice on the side. Pad mama: 9/10 This had a really yummy vibrant flavor with a good amount of protein and leafy greens. Could be spicier I think the just gave us a random spice level. Overall really yummy and good portion for the prices but would love to retry with more spice in the dishes.

    I went with my husband during Houston Restaurant Week, and maybe that was my mistake…read more We got the Thai ice tea and Thai jasmine green tea for drinks, squid and tofu for appetizers, the crying tiger and kua kling for entrees, and the sticky rice with mango and the coconut ice cream for desserts. I can confidently say that I was disappointed. There was not one dish that stood out or that I would recommend or come back for. I especially was sad that the crying tiger flavors really missed the mark. The sticky rice that came with it felt like it was reheated and some parts were hard. It also tasted like some of the vegetables (green beans and carrots) that come with the entrees were frozen, not fresh. The jasmine green tea tastes like a powder mix. Some of the squid tasted freezer burned. The kua kling was the most interesting and unique of the dishes, but not one that I would go out of my way to eat again. The sticky rice with mango was as expected. The coconut ice cream is probably pre-portioned and frozen so was rock solid when it came out. I did not find most of the toppings particularly good. It was a busy Friday and I know service was busy. The food did not take long to come out, but we definitely had dishes from previous courses that stacked up, and we had to ask them to be taken away. They do have a high chair for toddlers and brought a plastic plate/utensils, but there was not a changing table in the bathroom we used. We have had such great experiences at other Thai restaurants in Houston that I would not come back.

It could easily reach that level. Our waitress, Ann, was incredibly kind, soft spoken, and welcoming. My friend Sherita suggested this restaurant after we left a Yelp office hour, and I'm so glad she did because it introduced me to something I never knew I needed: the salmon mango fried rice. It was absolutely amazing. I originally planned to take some home for my son to try, but it was so delicious that I finished every bite in one sitting. Sherita had visited earlier in the week and tonight shared that she arrived; right before I walked in which was 30 minutes before closing time, Jackie told her to hurry up and order, even though she already knew exactly what she wanted and didn't even need a menu. Jackie response was unprofessional and didn't even wait till the table guest got to the table, which was less than seconds since we all arrive at the same time, and left the same place. During our visit, Jackie never brought us water. A couple who was seated after us received water before we did. It took over 10 minutes for us to get water. Ann took great care of us, but anytime we wanted a refill, we had to ask. At one point my glass was completely empty. I noticed Jackie refilling the water glasses for a table of six, so I managed to get his attention. He looked directly at me, scanned the room, then stomped away all fast without acknowledging my request. Instead, he told Ann that we wanted water, and she graciously brought it over. Even at the end of our meal, Jackie stood behind the register while my friends waited to pay, yet another employee ended up taking their payment. His overall energy felt very cold and unwelcoming. My friend even joked that it was probably for the best that he didn't refill my water because of the energy he was carrying. As someone who believes water absorbs energy, I honestly agreed. I'm grateful Ann was the one who served us with such kindness. The restaurant itself has such a peaceful, zen atmosphere. The greenery outside and the warm lighting inside create a cozy neighborhood spot that I truly want to love and revisit with my son. Thank you , Sherita for introducing me and Aaliyah to this hidden gem. I completely understand why you visited twice in one week. I'll definitely be back to explore more of the menu, and hopefully next time the hospitality matches the quality of the food.
