I ordered Papaya Salad and a Chicken Fried Rice from here while on a business trip and was satisfied. Unfortunately, I did not get a chance to visit the restaurant in person and was only able to order it via a food delivery service. I'm sure it would be even better in person. The one criteria I am the most skeptical on when dining at Thai restaurants is how true they are to the Thai spice levels. This place does a really good job of accurately describing it. For those that don't know, Thai spice is on a different level. If you normally order spicy at other restaurants, order a mild or medium at Thai restaurants. I ordered hot for my papaya salad and medium for my chicken fried rice. I was sweating throughout my meal. Great job on the spice levels! I wish the chicken fried rice was a bit more flavorful but it was still pretty good. Papaya salad had a great flavor to it. I look forward to visiting this restaurant in person when I get the chance! read more

I absolutely love this place! It's one of those restaurants you walk into and instantly know everything's going to be authentic and delicious. I came here for a quick, inexpensive lunch and was not disappointed. The service was great, and while the decor is more on the homey side, it has that comforting mom-and-pop vibe you want when you're looking for authentic, good-value food. Yellow Curry: 9/10 Perfect flavor! A little bit of spice and tons of depth, from the creaminess of the coconut milk to the curry spices. Delicious! My only complaint is that there's a lot of chicken, which is definitely a good problem to have, but I wish the chicken to potato and veggie ratio was better. Pad Thai: 9/10 Also delicious! The savoriness with the lime on top was so good. I do wish I'd ordered it spicier, because "medium" was basically nothing, but the dish itself was still amazing. Triple Spicy Fish: 9/10 Unexpectedly delicious! The fish was flaky and just melted in your mouth. The crust stayed nice and crispy, as long as you eat it quickly, haha(it gets a bit saucey). They described the sauce as sweet and spicy or sweet and sour, and normally I don't like sweet-and-sour anything, but this was a 10/10 sauce. P.S. There's parking in the lot, and also... don't touch the figurines at the front. read more

Thankyou LTC !! Gonna tell my friends and fam to eat y'all and I will be back for more CRISPY GYOZA!! Whatever this sauce was that came with it, SPOT ON!! Thankyou again. read more

Little Thai Cafe - CRABMEAT FRIED RICE!!!! YUMYUM - Thai Near Me - Houston, Texas

After driving around town trying to get some cowgirl boots my friend and I were hungry and we stumbled upon this place. It's a quaint family owned restaurant where the service is a little slow but they are friendly and fairly busy. I ordered the fried fish with veggies and rice. It wasn't exactly what I expected I didn't love it and probably wouldn't order it again but it was definitely made fresh. My friend said her pad thai was great. I had ordered a herbal tea not pictured because the waiter kept forgetting it until I left lol. All in all this is a nice thai restaurant I would check out again if I was on that side of tien again. read more

Incredible food and service. The food was made fresh. The prices were very reasonable. I had a great experience!

Great service and the food absolutely phenomenal. I do highly recommend it to all friends. We will be back.

My wife and I LOVE Little Thai Cafe! This is our favorite Thai spot in Houston. It's a bit unassuming but the food is amazing. Our favorites are the pad see ew, pad Thai, and LT spicy wings. The wings are a must order every time we come! They come out so crispy and the sauce is freakin' delicious. I don't even care for pad thai but I'm always picking at my wife's plate when we eat here. The owner is super nice as well. If you're craving Thai food then I would definitely give this place a try, you won't regret it! read more

Excellent experience even at 8 PM! The service was prompt right from the start. We ordered drinks and soup, which made the approximately 20-minute wait for our entrees fly by. Everything tasted incredibly fresh and was not greasy. Plus, the employee who helped us was very nice. Highly recommend! read more

Love love love this place! They have the best Thai food in H-town, hands down! My absolute must-have is their beef salad, which is always bursting with flavors. This salad combines perfectly grilled slices of tender beef with a medley of fresh vegetables and aromatic herbs. The balance of tanginess, spiciness, and subtle sweetness in the dressing makes this the true symphony of taste. I always add additional cucumber/carrots/lettuce if I have some at home because the sauce is just that good! Their Tom Yum soup is also a fave! The generous portions of shrimp, along with a perfect harmony of mushrooms, tomatoes, and fresh herbs, make this soup a comforting and soul-warming dish. In addition to the beef salad and Tom Yum Soup, their other dishes are also yummy. Whether you're craving Pad Thai, Green Curry, or just the good old basil fried rice, the menu has something to satisfy every palate. They offer a complimentary serving of egg rolls for orders over $30 which makes this the perfect go-to place for big parties (and party favors)! read more

I have been to this place more than once. The service is great and fast. This dish was called pad koo mao with Mango smoothie. However it was kinda too sweet . The atmosphere is simple and quiet. I would give this place a 9/10 read more

Food is delicious here, we were reluctant to try because we are used to California Thai restaurants but it was beyond great!!!

Thank you for catering for us! Truly the best Thai cafe in Houston. Delicious and healthy.

Ive been coming here for a couple of years now and they never disappoint. Mind you I only get their red curry. It's the best in Houston.

Food was so freaking good! Service was good! Ambiance was good but idk why they were empty on a Friday night. Food was so good. I asked to not include the fried tilapia bc the head of the fish freaks me out. They accommodated. Noodles was also good. I forget what my friend ordered read more

This place is like a hidden gem. It was our first time there, but we will definitely stop by again when we are in the area. The food portions are big, and the prices are still very reasonable. The pad Thai and tom yum soup was delicious. Customer service was excellent. read more

Ordered a tofu panang curry and the pad see ew. Food was ordered through ubereats and showed up warm but unfortunately tastes terrible. I am a Thai food connoisseur and have never tasted panang curry that tastes so different and off putting. The panang curry had peas, carrots, and bell peppers. I can tell the bell peppers are fresh but the carrot and peas were clearly from a frozen veggie bag. The pad see ew tastes like it's old but maybe it's not and just has too much fish sauce or something. It tastes like ocean but it's also a tofu pad see ew. This place has great reviews but the food didn't match it one bit. read more

The drunken noodles were really good had eggs and the spiciest flavor was insanely spicy good portion of meat as well I've gotten it twice definitely a good spot! read more

Food was delicious!! Honestly super surprised it was so empty on a Friday night. Definitely needs more exposure! Pad kee mao was great and the chicken was cooked perfectly. Juicy and soft but not rubbery. The pad thai was even more bomb!! Such flavor. We also had the chicken dumpling and chicken egg drop soup! The soup was amazing with chili oil and soy sauce!! Def come try this place out, my new go to thai place!! Also prices are reasonable AF compared to other popular thai places. read more

So I'm as much of a Thai snob as an American who has never been to Thailand can be. I've lived a lot of different places and have tried a lot of Thai food. This place is an instant favorite for this recent transplant to Houston. What I got: Pork, shrimp rolls and Shrimp Pad Thai (hot). First visit, I wasn't really impressed with the SPT. The rolls though....the rolls though....the rolls though. PHE. NOM. EN. AL!!! I would go there just for the rolls. Straight up. Second visit: same thing. My wife also got SPT mild. I know I know...great review for two menu items. But I eat what I eat, ya know? And she had never eaten Thai, so she ate what I ate too. She loved it. And TBH, tasting her mild gave me a better appreciation for the flavor of the overall dish. I live close, so I grab and go. I see people sitting and eating there, but I have no input on ambiance. Good food is what I'm here for. read more

Had a great meal here. The papaya salad (medium spice level) was extremely flavorful, quite spicy, and pleasantly crisp. The noodles in the pad see ew had great texture, and the flavor was great. Service was very attentive. read more

Affordable, generous portions, and attentive service!! We were pleasantly surprised with how affordable everything was and the amount of food. They also put a lot of care into their flavour, spices, and offering authentic Thai dishes. I got the curry noodle soup, kind of like Khao Soi and bf got pad see ew. Both were pretty tasty!! Not sure what it is exactly but Khao soi lacked some vibrance in the broth, felt like something was missing a bit or there was an old ingredient in there. It was good but I normally love this dish but felt like something was missing that day. I wish they have more crunchy noodle too!! But it was still pretty good but I think something was old or missing Pad see ew was pretty good but wish there was more of that balance of sweet and savoury in usual dishes. I didn't taste the blends of different soy sauces in there as much as I usually do when I eat this dish. I have had a ton of pad see ew's being in the houston area, I think there is so much potential still here. Thai tea was so delicious, loved the glass it was served in!! I would love to try their pad Thai read more

Ok so 8 years later I decided to give this place another shot and I'm so glad I did. They have a new owner who has many years in the Thai food industry and the food was soo good. The food was soooo much better. Great food ,hot temperature , and very flavorful. I can definitely recommend this place and u don't have to drive to Chinatown to get some good authentic Thai food. read more

My cashew with chicken was tasty and tasted as other same dishes at different Thai restaurants. The chicken was so fresh with no old refrigerated taste like many others. The lunch prices are cheaper as well. Found my new lunch place! Service was great, the owner was my waiter and we talked about all the dishes he wishes to introduce. Ambiance is simple and not cluttered. No booths, all 4 seater tables. Give them a try! read more

This place quickly became a regular spot for me and my roommate as soon as we tried it. Their tom yum soup is seriously so good. It's hard to find one that has a nice balance in flavor that's not too sour or too sweet. However the shrimp in the soup seemed way overcooked. I've tried the shrimp, chicken, and tofu tom yum soup and tofu is definitely the best option. Also their mango sticky rice is the best!!! The rice is sticky and moist (another place I went to had DRY rice, it was almost like rice cake and I couldn't eat it). If you don't like super sweet, ask for the sauce on the side bc they do put a lot of sauce. Sometimes we go here just for the mango sticky rice. In my opinion, the pad thai is better than the pad see ew. The pad see ew broccoli was very bitter and not enjoyable. The pad woon sen is good as well. Beware if you ask for hot and spicy, it will actually be spicy, not white people spicy lol read more

Little Thai, big portions even for lunch. Lunch specials are Monday thru Friday 11-3. With each menu item you get a choice of the soup of the day or peanut salad and an veggie egg roll. I ordered the chicken pad Thai and asked for it to be medium spice. It was not spicy at all. Even asked for chili spice but it's better when it's tossed in when it's being cooked. It lacked a lot of flavor. Another con is there was no option for combination pad Thai or it wasn't listed as a special. The service wasn't too great and overall it was just alright. Not really much to say but if you're trying to get something under 10$ and maybe even 8$ then come here. You're guaranteed to be full without spending so much. Even the drinks are pretty inexpensive. read more

I came here a few days ago and got the chicken pad thai and chicken green curry. The food was really good and hot. They were generous with their portion size and was really happy. I came back again a few days later to try their eggplant basil with tofu and "Tom yum soup". The eggplant basil was decent however the soup was a big let down. It tasted like sugar water. It was flavorless and bland. The broth looks dirty and doesn't look fresh. I think they charged extra for shrimp although these soup is suppose to come with it. It was the worse soup I had and even my instant mama Tom yum ramen soup taste better. When I look at the receipt its label as hot and sour but it's not the hot and sour you would think that you get at a chinese restaurant. After this experience it left me with a disappointing feeling..it was $20 for the two entree when the menu says it's $8.99 for eggplant basil and $4.99 for soup. Not sure how it added up to $20 but they don't give receipt..only your cc receipt. Update : they updated their pricing. Also spicy isn't spicy..more like mild fyi. read more

A little out of the way for me but a good little spot if you've got a craving for some Thai. I opted for the pad see ew and the yellow curry, both mild and they turned out pretty good! Both had a great flavor and quantity was large - we ended up with enough leftovers for enough for 2 meals for the both of us. I will say that the curry turned out really runny, as though it were watered down, but it still tasted good. Service is friendly and food came out super fast. This was at about 5pm on a weeknight and I was the only one there. If you order $35 or more, they'll throw in some spring rolls. Nice little stop here. read more

I stopped to get takeout. Not my area of town. I used Yelp to find it. I ordered shrimp rolls, chicken satay and pad see ew with chicken. It traveled well and was very fresh and tasty. If in the area again and hungry for Thai will stop again. I did not take a photos. read more

OMG, delicious. I ordered their coconut soup, because I hadn't had something like that in a while, and it's one of the best I've ever had. I also ordered Pad Thai and their Thai Basil, and the flavor is excellent. It's a small place, but very cute. My order was to go, but I'd definitely eat there too. read more

A good, reliable neighborhood Thai spot. The restaurant is not big or fancy. We've dined in and did takeout a few times. I appreciate the fact that it's not too expensive and you get a good size portion. My favorite item on the menu is the Swai fish. It's around $20 and you get a few nice pieces of swai fish steaks in a sweet pepper sauce. I order that and can have over a 2-3 day period. Also, the owners are pretty nice. There's a main guy that takes the order and while a bit awkward the first time is actually very nice. For example of the times I went there, I placed my order and went back to the car b/c my children were sleeping in the car. Without informing him or asking, he brought my food to the car. I will always appreciate kind service. For that singular act of kindness, plus their good being good....they get my support. read more

I am a fan of Thai food and this location provides exceptional food & service. I am happy that I've found this place, it is located in the Westchase area which makes it convenient for me since I'm 7 minutes away. I usually get the Pad kee mao with shrimp, Tom yum soup, and to quench my thirst I can't miss out of their Thai Tea. I don't know if this is a ma and pa restaurant but they really cook from the soul, especially the Tom Yum Soup; I like how they didn't make it extremely sour to the point where it's inedible. Cute little place, very quiet and peaceful location to dine in, I'll definitely come back. read more
