    Thai Basil Fried Rice
    Adi S.

    They may mess up your order and give you the wrong dish, or chicken instead of tofu... (or the wrong order from the menu completely) but if you get the right food your ordered the food is actually really good. I've been here twice now and unfortunately had mess ups both times but the actual food was really good. perfect flavors and authentic taste.

    Crispy vegetable spring rolls - excellent
    Guy H.

    The accidental finds are always the sweetest. Ka Thai is one of those happy coincidences. I was on my way downtown and detoured through uptown to catch a taco at a place recomended by my California friend John D. After parking and walking to my destination Ka Thai caught my eye. A quick spin on the Yelp-O-Meter indicated a causiously strong,Go! So I did. My reward? The best Papaya Salad I've ever had. I mean over the top outta the park,fresh, crunchy,flavorful... We caught them 10 minutes before happy hour ended so, scoring some crunchy vegetable spring rolls and two flask of warm sake cheap was pure bonus. In the past my go to Thai has been Noodle Wave and Asian Mint. However,I'm so impressed with the food, service,prices and atmosphere at Ka Thai,I think they may be my new go to. Especially with 3 locations. Go!

    Still my go to thai place! Everything hits and the quality is always good, flavors always on point, and portions always solid. Have loved everything ive tried here!!

    Chai old fashioned

    What a wonderful place for Thai food. I have seen some of the reviews regarding the lack of service, and the food being bland. I will say my experience was absolutely amazing, I have no complaints whatsoever. The service was very attentive, and the food portion sizes could easily serve two people. Beef and onions- came with a side of rice and was seasoned just right. Shrimp Crevice- I could literally just come for this dish alone and be totally satisfied. The whole dish was fresh and the flavor was amazing. Spring rolls- (fried) delicious and was not greasy Chai manhattan- delicious

    Pad See Eew with chicken
    Ashley M.

    Visited Ka Thai for a team dinner and it was amazing from the decor, to the service and food experience. No complaints! They had no trouble managing a group of over 20 people. We ordered tons of apps, my favorite was the wings and spicy edamame. The pad see eew (drunken noodles) was my entree and it was cooked perfectly. For dessert I had the mango sticky rice with a scoop of ice cream and it was so tasty! I would absolutely go back here when I'm in town again.

    Solid thai food, nothing blew me away but everything was tasty. Wait staff were nice and plenty of good menu options

    Happy Hour Menu
    Juana E.

    Kai Thai for the WIN. The food was amazing, fresh, and full of authentic flavor. I also love that Happy Hour is offered on Saturdays from 3-6 PM and all day Sunday(major bonus). We started with the Heaven Beef (Thai-style beef jerky with Jaew dipping sauce), and it was soooo good I completely forgot to take a photo ‍. That alone tells you something. For mains, I had the Traditional Thai Fried Rice with Chicken (spice level 3). Jasmine rice with egg, onions, tomatoes, and scallions and I must say ....the spices were spicing, the chicken was tender, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. We also tried the Pad See Eew with chicken (spice level 2). Wide rice noodles stir-fried with broccoli, carrots, and egg. So fresh, comforting, and very authentic. My only knock: our waitress wasn't very knowledgeable about the menu and wasn't very attentive(possibly new). That said, the food more than made up for it. I'll most definitely be back. Kai Thai is Flavorchaser Approved

    We had a great experience at Ka Thai. Our service was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. Ambiance inside was nice but casual. We started off with the steamed Thai dumplings which had a great flavor profile and were of a good size. We then got the chicken pad Thai and black pepper beef. Both entrees were excellent but next time I'd get a higher spice level on the pad Thai for added flavor. Overall, I would come back here and try more options on the menu. Note- they validate parking inside.

    Tom Yum lemongrass Soup Bowl
    Kayla B.

    Such a SOLID thai spot. We had no complaints with anything we ordered. The standouts were the roti canai appetizer and pad thai. The roti canai was SOO flavourful my only suggestion would be MORE ROTI to soak up all the delicious curry!! I am SO picky about pad thai but if you love saucy and sweet, this is it- the spice level helps bring down the sweetness a bit too. Cute interior that is well lit but not abrasive. Service was great and no reservations needed on a weeknight which is great. Would come back for sure

    Thai Tea 9/10

    This place was delicious. Came on a Friday night and there was no wait time and food came out quickly. Had the Thai fried rice and it was delicious! Nice and airy space. Will be back.

    Crispy Spring Rolls
    James D.

    Grabbed Thai food at this place before a concert at Fair Park Music Hall and it was fantastic. Started off with the crunchy spring roll appetizers which were great. I ordered the drunken noodles with beef, spice level 2 for my entree. I judge every Thai restaurant by their drunken noodles and these ranked up there very high. Spice level was perfect, veggies and beef were fresh and cooked just right, and portion sizes were perfect. Our server was attentive and took great care of us. If you're in Uptown and have a need for Thai, this is your go to spot.

    Crab fried rice & drunken noodles
    Danielle A.

    Great flavors and fast service! I stopped into Ka Thai and immediately ran into the best kind of problem: I couldn't decide between the pad kee mao and the crab fried rice... so, I ordered both. No regrets. Both dishes came out together. The drunken noodles were piping hot. The sauce leaned a little sweeter and saucier than I usually prefer, but the flavor was still solid. The noodles were about 2 inches wide, which was different than what I've experienced in the past. The crab fried rice ended up being my favorite of the two. Great texture, great seasoning, and overall really comforting. I just wish it had a bit more lump crab meat mixed in. Still, I liked it enough that I packed up the leftovers for later. Ambiance-wise, Ka Thai nails it. Lots of natural light, friendly staff, and a relaxed, welcoming feel. Parking on the street is pretty limited, but there's a garage connected to the building, which makes things easier. All in all, a tasty, quick, and pleasant meal.

    Coconut ice cream and rice
    Matt M.

    Very good experience with service and food! We went mid day on a Monday, walked right in. There is a general parking lot a short walk away. Food was delicious and good amount for the prices. Desert was good as well we got coconut ice cream and rice, would go back and recommend to check it out! Service was attentive and friendly even with multiple kids in our party.

Between the four of us we ordered the roti canai -- with an extra piece of roti, since the base only comes with two, roti murtabak, two orders of the pork belly baos, chili crisp cucumbers, nasi lemak, beef haw fun, and bò tái chanh -- Vietnamese rare beef salad. Overall, the food was outstanding. I feel like the restaurant took all the greatest hits from every Asian culture and put them together on the menu. My favorite dish of the night was a toss up between the rare beef salad, the roti, and the pork belly baos. I loved how crispy and flaky the roti was and the curry dipping sauce that it was paired with was super aromatic, nutty, and rich. The pork belly in the baos was incredibly tender, well-marinated, and had a nice balance between lean and fatty parts. If you enjoy sour dishes, you will love the rare beef salad: there is enough lime in the dish to make you pucker. Every bite is a concentrated punch of flavors, and there is a nice variety of texture between the chopped peanuts, thinly sliced onions, rare beef, and crispy rice cracker. If you're in this part of town looking for a dinner spot, I would not hesitate to recommend Hawkers Asian Street Food. In addition to the solid food menu, the service and drinks were equally spectacular.

You can tell they brew it and it doesn't come from a syrup. When I sat down, I was instantly greeted, and there were like four different people serving my table, I think that they all work as a team to make sure everything is covered. The service was just amazing. Restaurant is beautiful, the booths were , small and intimate and you feeling that you in place with privacy and yet part of the group ....kind of interesting how they've done that. But the food! The food was outstanding, first they gave me a complementary appetizer of Jasmine sticky rice with this eggplant chutney, that was very tasty, a teeny bit spicy, but really good depth with flavor. Then my beef Samosas arrived. There were four, wrapped in like a triangle rapper, smaller than the Indian version of the same, and the flavor was very tasty, and corn and small chopped potatoes, yum! The two chutneys that came with it one was a cool cucumber, and the other was this sweet and spicy plum sauce. They made samosas!!! They could be soft and cool, or they could be delicious and spicy, depending on chutney you had them with and you had a third option.... There was a bed of pickled radish and carrot that really sit off the samosas as well and we're just delicious on their own. I devoured the entire thing. Then get the entrée. I had drunken noodles and I added the shredded pork... It was devastatingly tasty!!! the noodles were obviously done it a wok that's been seasoned to perfection. The wide noodles picked up all that deliciousness from the wok and then combined with the pork... heaven ! They had large pieces of bell pepper and tomatoes. very fresh onions... Just deliciousness. I was too full this time to get dessert, but I'm definitely coming back and I will definitely try it next time

    I really want to give the food a 5/5, but if I'm comparing it to a lot of the Thai places I've been…read moreto in Houston, I have to fairly rate them 4/5. There's just been truly so many outstanding experiences I've had in Houston. Regardless, the food was very good and it was authentic, we did get dishes similar to what we got at Street to Kitchen in Houston, which is the most authentic Thai we've had. Food: I forgot to take pictures of two other dishes we ordered, the Thai chicken, wings, and the drunken noodles. But let me start with the complementary sticky rice. I've actually never had a complementary "starter" at a Thai restaurant, so they stood out, and it was a good meal prepper. The dip is an eggplant type of dip so it's not peanut sauce based. It was really good. The best dish was the crab dip with the shrimp chips, the dip was curried and balanced well with the crab. The chicken wings weren't as crispy as we're used to, and there were more on the saucy side, but it was a solid 4/5 dish. The drunken noodles were good and I feel like they had a great mix of veggies, beef, and noodles in the dish, so it wasn't so carb heavy. But we've definitely had better flavor drunken noodles before. Lastly, the mango sticky rice presentation was unlike anything I've seen before, and I loved it. Do I prefer the traditional sliced mango over a bit of rice? Perhaps. But I did enjoy tasting the mango and the condensed milk and a sticky rice together inside the coconut for a change. Service: we went during dinnertime on a Saturday night, and I was so impressed with the level of service we had. Because don't get me wrong, they were busy, but the food came out so fast & we had multiple servers filling up our water and ensuring we're doing okay. We were literally out of there in about an hour, but it wasn't because they were pushing us out, it was truly because everything was so quick. And I loved that strategy they used where we didn't have just one server assigned to us, which is probably why they are thriving here in Dallas. Overall, if you're craving Thai, I would recommend coming here.
