We were trying to figure out if they are Thai tea, or Thai coffee, or both. And the kid who works there give us two cups. And we thought it was the drink. But no, it turns out those were the samples he gave us. The full sized drink is like fish bowl size. Happy surprise. We came to this place for years. Their portion is huge. This time, we had the pineapple curry and red curry. Needless to say, it's amazing. read more

I never expected to witness outright discrimination, but unfortunately after several chances, this post has to be made. I went out with my friend, who has a professionally trained service dog from Guide Dogs of Texas. We have been to many restaurants in BCS since she obtained him. Upon sitting down, we were told we were not allowed to be in the restaurant because of the dog. When I clarified, "Even though she's disabled?" the staff replied, "Yes, no dogs of any kind." She was shown the ADA card and still did not care. This is a clear violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which guarantees access for individuals with disabilities who use service animals. We were offered the chance to take food to-go, but since I vote with my money and obviously am not going to support a business that hates disabled people, we got up and left. They were told they would be reported and she said "Okay go ahead" I strongly urge the management of Kluay Kluay to educate themselves on the ADA. I will not be back. I will go get my pad thai elsewhere. read more

TLDR: 3.5 if I could. I'd give Kluay Kluay another shot, but get a different dish (maybe fried rice or a curry). Get it "medium" not "hot" unless you're getting oral surgery and need a preemptive local anesthetic. Overall, a nice restaurant but the location feels a bit "sketch" at night (I'd recommend going during light hours) and the food was alright - I've had life-changing Thai food in California, but Kluay Kluay might be the best in College Station ‍. I ordered the Pad Thai and Pad Kee Mao. I liked the Pad Kee Mao much more than the Pad Thai, but I didn't "fall in love" at first taste. Next time, I'd try fried rice or a curry (the pineapple fried rice or green curry looks good!). Don't mess with the spice! I'm used to eating spicy foods so I chose "Hot" (from mild, medium, hot, and Thai hot), however, it was just outside my comfort zone! I'd choose medium next time I went. Say a prayer for the poor souls who choose Thai Hot. The restaurant was very empty and there was only 1 server, so it felt a little lonely and desolate. The server was polite but kind of monotone - although maybe she was having a bad day. read more

So much went wrong here that I don't even know where to begin. It took over 3 minutes to be recognized upon entry. We chose our seats and it took about 7 minutes for the waters to come out. They were short staffed as one girl was waiting on all of the tables. The veggie spring rolls were almost edible...the wrapping was super chewy. The coconut soup was not good at all as the quality of the ingredients were subpar. There was a spice or something that made it sour and the smell of it made my mother gag. The garlic beef was basically beef with broccoli and was not spicy as requested and had little to no flavor at all. My mother's pad Thai tasted like it was smothered in tomato paste and she had to cover it with a napkin because it made her nauseous. The waitress never asked how the food was nor did she notice we left everything on the plate. I have no clue how this place is operating as a Thai restaurant--I rarely give scores this bad but wow! nothing went right here. read more

Kluay Kluay Thai Restaurant - the front of the restaurant - Thai Near Me - Bryan, Texas

I don't know what it is about my pad thai experience in CS but it never looks like the photos in the review! We stopped by on a recent sunday and this place was EMPTY & little to no orders were being delivered. This may have deterred me, but the reviews on Yelp made me especially determined to see if this really was one of the better thai restaurants in the area. I am determined to find a pad thai i can eat in BCS! We sat down and ordered the pad Thai & pork fried rice + an order of egg rolls. We got our food, it was pretty disappointing. The meals came out first and the appetizer came out at least 3-5 minutes later. The pad Thai was dripping in red sauce. After talking to a friend about each Pad Thai experience we've had in college station where i suspected Thai restaurants using ketchup, I have since learned that many US restaurants will use ketchup as the base to give PT a darker red tint & to sub tamarind. My husband fried rice was drenched in black pepper. We ordered egg rolls but received spring rolls. did we complain? No. Why? Because, again, this place was super empty. we paid and left and basically determined we'd probably never come back. read more

Terrible experience, this place has really gone down hill! My chicken dish tasted like fish, they were out of ingredients for Pad Thai, the spring rolls were full of carrots and no shrimp, they did not have any more tea. Tried to charge me for the dish I sent back. read more

This is a hidden GEM in cstat!! First and foremost, though the dishes are a little pricier... it's because the portions (especially the noodle dishes) are HUGE. I usually have enough leftovers for another entire meal afterwards. There seems to be only 1 server who's the only one out on the floor, but she got us everything we needed. We were seated immediately and then you pay at the counter whenever you're done which makes it an easy process. I also really enjoy the atmosphere and the guava candies afterwards! I got the Pad See Ew - 2/4 slice level with chicken and it was so delicious. The spice was as expected for a "medium", but if you can't tolerate spice well I'd order a 1. I also tried the Pad Thai - 3/4 spice level with chicken and it was spicy but good! The Yellow Curry also came with a large plate of rice not pictured. Overall, this is my go-to restaurant for thai food in the area and highly recommend for how much food you get!! read more

I like that they close at 10pm; however, the quality isn't the best. As a former Thai restaurant owner & someone who eats Thai food religiously, the flavor was bland. I tried ordering spring rolls but they were out of rice paper. Then I ordered som tam, Pad See Ew with tofu, & tom Kha. I got a call back after the order that they don't have som tam. I get it, they're about to close but what a bummer. So the pad see ew was not sweet at all. I should have specified how I wanted my tofu but it came fried. If I would have known I was getting egg rolls and soup with each dish, I wouldn't have ordered tom Kha. I asked if there were to-go plastic ware and she said yes. When I got to the hotel, the plasticware did not contain a spoon. So I had no spoon for my soups. read more

Came here for the first time with my family. We ordered the Pad kee mao (delicious), Pad thai (tasted like ketchup), Kluay kluay fried rice (probably the best flavorful dish here), Red curry (flavorful), Chicken lava (meh), Poh teak soup (large delicious portion), Cheese rolls (meh), Egg rolls (small, but delicious), and Chicken satay (delicious chicken with peanut sauce). Overall, a but pricey, but the portions are relatively large. The staff is friendly. This girl seemed to be literally the only one out in the common area. I've seen no one else here helping her. She's taking orders from multiple tables all while ringing up their tab, setting the table, and delivering the food. They appear so short that she forgot our Thai tea drink that we ordered, utensils, and never stopped by to check on us cause we were all thirsty for water. I'm not mad at her because I believe she was doing her best, but this business needs to give her some help. Parking is large and there's a lot of tables. read more

Kluay Kluay is our favorite takeout spot! The food is AMAZING, but the amount of food is really what blows my mind! We easily get 2 meals in 1, and it's just as good leftover! Our favorites are the Basil Fried Rice and Pineapple Fried Rice with chicken! Make it a Level 2 spice for that perfect kick and *chef's kiss*. Go check out Kluay Kluay! read more

Pretty decent Thai food, not the most friendly girl at the register, food was average price and service was just ok. Will probably give them another try but definitely have had much better experiences at other local thai restaurants. read more

This place has HUGE portion sizes and excellent prices. I spend about $30 for two dinner size entrees and an appetizer. The food was good - like many Thai places you pick your spice level. I ordered medium and found it not to be very spicy at all. Next time I would definitely order a degree more spicy. Overall decent Thai food for the area and definitely worth the stop. The restaurant was completely empty on Saturday evening which was nice especially when dining with a toddler. read more

Food was okay. It's not a big deal but their veggies on their pad see ewe was not cooked properly when I ordered a while ago, and it kept me from going back. Their tea was good and the dish itself was pretty good. I just couldn't eat the carrots in my dish (it was hard). read more

Unfortunately Yelp reviewers have let me down on this one. They don't have good restaurants where I live so when I travel I eat. If you want Thai make the trip to college station go to Siam Iyara. Kluay was far from being authentic or edible. Overpriced and not good. Lacked flavor. read more

The food is to die for. Servings are large enough to split in two and still fill you up. Flavors are authentic and wonderful. Staff is friendly, service is good. The store is just in a strip-mall, but it's laid back and has a few tables for dine in. Take away is great option as well. Try the Pad Thai or Pineapple Rice! read more

Unfortunately the last three times we went were all bad experiences. The first time we went, we were seated next to the door and due to their set-up, we were freezing cold each time the door opened. The second time they charged extra for credit card payment because "their regular card machine was broken and their old machine always adds a fee" but we were not informed of this beforehand. The third time I ordered takeout via phone during COVID; after I drove 15 minutes to the restaurant they said they were all out of my order but they didn't even bother mentioning this during my phone order or subsequently calling me back. As others have previously said, good food, terrible service, to the point of rudeness. read more

the best food in the College Station - Bryan area. The only thing I don't think is very good is the pad thai but everything else is a hit

I ordered the pad kee mao and the food was just okay. I expected a flavorful drunken noodle but the main flavor was spicy and other flavors from the sauce were lacking. There was a mix of carrots, broccoli, onion, red bell pepper, and pork in the noodles. I order over the phone and the waitress wasn't able to describe the 4 levels of spice from the menu and was surprising unpleasant. read more

Kluay Kluay Thai Restaurant - N2. Pad Kee Mao - Thai Near Me - Bryan, Texas

Came here with my friends who are all regulars (one comes multiple times a week). I thought the food was pretty good and one of the best Thai options in the area but nothing that knocked my socks off. We split two curries, pad ke mao, and fried rice with shrimp. The pad ke mao was my favorite. I didn't care for the curries though but everyone else loved them. The dinner portions were huge- there were 4 of us but we easily could have been filled up on 2-3 things only. I'll definitely come back because it's one of the few good Asian places in town and I enjoyed the service! Also PSA Yelp says they are closed Sunday but they open at noon! read more

We ordered quite a bit of food! Drunken noodles, another noodle dish, larb, chicken skewers, green curry and I forgot the name it's a white soup with coconut milk in it. Not a fan of the noodle dishes and larb. Especially the larb. It's usually my favorite :( . Portions were huge. Chicken skewers: flavors were right, but chicken was so so dry. Came with peanut sauce? Was odd for me because they don't give you that when you buy meat bbq skewers from vendors in Thailand. Not a fan of the sauce. Too sweet for me but maybe you'd like it if you like sweet Soup and curry: AMAZING! so good . Flavors are well balanced and complex. I always go for their curry's and soups. They can also make your food as spicy as you like and it's actually spicy! Sad that when I asked, the employee didn't know if they use Thai chilis to make the food spicy. But not a huge deal! I'd just prefer to use my own at home if they're not. I have no idea about the service because I usually get the food Togo. However every time I go in the cashier is always really nice ! Overall love love love their soups and curry's ! I do recommend this place to friends! read more

I had lunch at Kluay Kluay the other day, not because of anything I had heard, but because they were serving in the restaurant. Their Shrimp Spring Rolls which were made fresh and very good. The Shrimp Pad Thai was also worth ordering again. It's off the beaten path but a pretty good find. read more

They seem to have lost ground since our earlier visit. Service was still good, but the primary flavor of the Tom Yum Goong soup wasn't spicy (or interesting), but overly sweet. The fresh rolls were mostly lettuce, and the noodle dish had an unusual smoky flavor. Oh well. read more

They give you a lot of food but it all taste sweet. The food had no flavor other than sugar. It was like I was eating candied beef fried rice and candied pad noodles. read more

Kluay Kluay Thai Restaurant - C2 with pineapple and tofu - Thai Near Me - Bryan, Texas

JUST WOW!!! I have never tried Thai food before so I checked out the menu on Yelp and decided to go order in store figuring a live person could help guide me. Man was I wrong. The guy that takes the orders could not have communicated to me more clearly that I was a bother to him as he was eating. There was no greeting or acknowledgment that o am a human being at all. Just gets up and stands behind the register. I said I've never had Thai food before. He said nothing. I looked at the menu a while longer and finally made my decision to try the only Thai food I've ever heard of Pad Thai. On Yelp it shows that they have pork so when he curtly asked "what meat" I said "pork". He exclaimed in an irritated manner "we don't have pork" then pointed to the meats that were on the menu. I chose beef and stayed quiet as he rung me up. I am usually pretty good about being polite to rude people, but this time I felt so unwelcome I almost walked out. Unfortunately I was hungry, so the transaction continued with me being quiet and the cashier never once talking to me, even to tell me to sign the receipt or anything normal you would get at another business. So I went to wait in my car and shockingly, the same guy brought my food out to me. However, he did the same thing: not a word, not thank you, didn't even look at me as he stuck the bag in my window, waiting for me to take it and the utensils. It was surreal! I can't wait to be back! Just kidding. I will be sharing this story all over town because in the end all I can do is laugh about it. When you open up a restaurant and you communicate that your potential customers aren't welcome, then you have a conflict of your goals in opening the restaurant. I thought this was just logical, but I guess not! ‍ read more

Very economical Thai food!! Sixteen ounce mug of Thai ice tea $2.50 and small bowl of Tom Kha Kai soup $4 made a fine & inexpensive light dinner. The "small" bowl was a regular cereal bowl size, so not so small at all. At these prices, we're talking high value eating. Ice tea was usual sweet flavor & caffeine punch. It came to table with the expected layer of sweetened milk floating over the tea. Typical, but tasty. Tom Kha Kai soup was strong on coconut milk flavor & very light on curry paste taste, being yellow curry would be my guess. In the soup were *LOTS* of strips of chicken breast meat, a couple different kinds of mushrooms, and strips of onion. Overall the soup was light in body & taste. I expect I'll be back to Kluay-Kluay before my sojourn in the College Station & Bryan TX area is done. Their food & killer prices easily justify a return. read more

Unfortunately for me this place fell short on taste and flavor. We ordered: tiger cry, steak was very dry and had absolutely no flavor. Came with a vinegar based sauce that was not pleasing to my taste buds. Pad see ew, it was just ok. Lacked flavor. Chicken satay, again the chicken was very dry. The peanut sauce it came with was good. The pad Thai sauce was good but nothing special. I was so bummed because it all smelled so amazing! read more

Pros: Four stars for the food. Spicy level was just right! I cannot get enough of the mango sticky rice - so much that I came to pick it up twice in one week. Thai tea was also great! Cons: Two stars for the service. The waitresses seems as if they've woken up on the wrong side of the bed. The pad see ew was great in house but definitely sub par as next-day leftovers. They should reconsider taking away the requirement of ordering $10 minimum in order to use a credit card. read more

Tucked away in a strip mall. Not sure if it's authentic or not... the Pad Kee Mao was spicy as heck. The dumplings were not bad though. I ordered out but the places looked a bit dimly lit and more or less empty although it was a weeknight so I supposed wouldn't be too busy. read more

First time here and we enjoyed it. Yellow curry was great and so was pad see ew. Did medium heat and it was spicy (and we love spicy!). Large servings and price is reasonable. Didn't really care for the spring rolls (too much lettuce). The waitress was attentive and nice. Ambience isn't great (maybe more of a lunch place) so would do take out next time. read more

Great portions and great food for a reasonable price! Seems small and family owned with quick service. I love the massaman curry, so rich and tasty! read more

Great food .My favorite the yellow curry shrimp with rice. Fresh tasty and a giant serving. Two meals.

Food was delicious, hot and generous. If the wait staff was attentive this would have easily been a five star review.

The most weird things is they stand by you while you are tipping. The waitress is like she just had a nightmare last night. The sticky rice mango is my favorite. Tom yum Koong L is not as good as expected. Triple spicy fish is a joke-- not even spicy. It's very sweet. Chicken Satay is OK, won't order it anymore. Thai Tea is average. read more
