    Chinese Broccoli Crispy Pork (Kanah Muu Krob)
    Thang N.

    This is the boy's preferred thai place. He's been getting the spicy fried rice. He used to like the crispy pork with veggies. It's usually not busy when we go. I think they can accommodate 90 guests. They do have a large table for 8 that is reserved for the American Express crowd. I think they toned down the spice level because a level 4 spicy dish isn't very spicy.

    Pad Gra Tiem -- little to no chicken
    Jaelen W.

    I strongly dislike doing bad reviews but Mint has pissed me off for the last time. Mint Thai Kitchen - 249 location does not provide enough protein in their dishes. I've had to call them on multiple occasions because the meat portion is just not worth paying for. So, tonight I ordered Mint through door dash (normally, I don't but I couldn't leave in time to pick up). Of course the chicken portion was LITTLE TO NONE so I called to speak with someone. I was told the manager was gone for the night & no one in charge is available. Now, i'm stuck with a half ass order & they have all my money. I won't go back ever again after tonight.

    Pad Kee Mao with shrimp
    Wendy H.

    This is my go to lunch spot whenever I'm working from home. I typically order for pick up through UberEats and they are very quick to prepare the orders. The few times I've sat down and eaten their the ladies are very nice and they have tons of space to sit. I usually stick to the same dishes but the Shrimp Pad Kee Mao and Crispy House Chicken have never steered me wrong. I would definitely recommend trying it if you haven't already.

    New thai place discovered for me! Really loved the ambiance and the soft music. The staff were so pleasant. They have a really extensive menu with clearly indicated gluten free options. Their spicy fried rice is really good. My friend had the Garlic Pepper Tofu which was also yummy. I look forward to trying more items on their menu.

    Pad Kra Pao Thai Style

    Don't expect a boujee high level thai restuarant if that's your expectations. This spot is low key with plenty of seating and quick service for a nice casual quick lunch or bite with others. Simple procedures: order up front at the counter, pay, sit, they bring your food, you eat it, and then you leave. There's a variety of thai dishes here. Since I'm usually here with people from our office, they always go with the pad thai or the pad see ewe, both are popular noodle dishes. The fried rice is another favorite as well. I've been meaning to try other dishes such as the yellow or green curry, tom yum soup, or the kanah muu krob pork dish. But I always go wtih the pad see ewe, pad kee mao, or pad kra pao. Something about those noodles/rice with veggies and meat and egg that keep me coming back. This is a staple amongst our office when we're in the mood for thai due to location, price, and convenience. I need to try other dishes here and venture my taste buds out.

    From the moment I walked in the staff, and the ambience made me feel welcome, the Tom Yum Goong soup was truly the best I've had in years and by itself would be worth going back for the green curry was fragrant and spicy the Tom Ka Gai soup was creamy and flavorful, although a bit too sweet for my taste but all in all it was a great experience and I will definitely be back

    Thai Green Tea (a must get)
    Megan S.

    Everything here is so good but the Pad Thai is out of this world, consistently good and don't sleep on the green Thai tea not a lot of spots offer it and it's well done here, perfect amount of sweetness. As someone who is Thai can say this spot is definitely authentic.

    The atmosphere at Mint Thai Kitchen is top-notch. There are hardly any customers here, and the ambient atmosphere pairs well with the lofi Pokemon playlist they have on the speakers. This is a great place to just chill out after a busy day. I also like that each dish marked with an asterisk can have their spiciness levels changed on a 5-point scale from 1 (wimpy babies) to 5 (based gigachads). I had the level 4 Gang Mang (red curry) with pork. Oddly, the rice was served on the side on a separate plate. In mixing the curry and rice (as I always , I risked spilling over the curry due to the uneven shape of the bowl. Would prefer to be asked if I could have the rice already mixed in before sending the dish out to me].

    Pad Thai
    Salomi W.

    The pad Thai was yummy, the rice was a little overdone, but everything taste good overall. The food took about ten minutes. Hubby had a hard time with how much pepper was in the food, but I thoroughly enjoyed it, practically ate all the pad Thai by myself. It's a bit disappointing that they had no summer rolls.

    Red curry
    Catherine C.

    We had a good experience here overall. It was nice and empty since we came right after opening at 11. Our server was super sweet and the food and drinks were both fast. Prices are very reasonable. Drinks: Coffee was great, but tea was on the sweeter side and not as strong. Food - Pad Thai with chicken was super solid! Would recommend. Definitely dial down the spice level if you are sensitive to that. Tried beef with the red curry and it was a little on the chewier side; chicken might've been a better choice. The portions are just right.

    Kanah Muu Krob
    Patty C.

    Nice counter service place that offers a variety of Thai dishes. I've been to other locations of this operation as well. This one serves as a convenient lunch spot in the Willowbrook area. Order at the counter and take your number. This place can get packed during lunch time on the weekdays. The dining room echoes a bit, so the side tables are best. I was craving something different, and the cashier mentioned a crispy pork dish, Kanah Muu Krob. It sounded intriguing, and I enjoy gailan, so I went with it. It was quite tasty, and I enjoy the leafy green vegetable. Despite containing fatty pork belly bites, the dish wasn't too heavy. It's tossed in a thin sweet soy sauce. Would definitely return.

    Tofu and Tom kha soup
    Antrea F.

    We came on July 3rd. It was definitely not the experience we were hoping for from Houston. It was awful. The restrooms matched the food. The service was so-so, as they did try to be occasionally attentive. But the ambiance was not impressive and it wasn't just because the place was empty. As my partner noted, they had tons of toilet paper in the bathroom likely to service it as little as possible. Someone really doesn't care. We wondered if it was because we went to the less popular location by accident. We didn't know there were two and had meant to go downtown. As for the food, I ordered Tom kha but with tofu and it was the sweetest in the worst way possible. The papaya salad (which I thought was impossible to ruin) surprised me and my partner as well. Nothing was made fresh and the tofu tasted like it came out of the freezer. I do not recommend this place. I am in shock that it is so highly rated.

Came out steaming hot, and yolk was not overly cooked and dry, not bad. Starting with the Chinese hamburger I felt sad and know not to expect too much from the other dishes we ordered. First the meat look different than what others have posted before, and it was kinda dry and too salty to eat. There was no other spice, only the meat juice flavor. The bun they use was stale to eat. Traditional way of making this should be the flaky oily pancake, or at least make the buns softer to eat. The mutton stew was clear and very heartwarming to drink on a cold day. But the portion is super small for the price. The glass noodles were gone in literally two bites. I had none to share with my boyfriend. This dish come with the burger bun too that you can soak them in the soup so I guess this is the extra carb make up for the less noodles. Oil splash noodle is their specialty? It was good but didn't wowed me. Noodles are chewy and well cooked, came with lots of bean sprouts. The sauce is flavorful and actually not too oily which I enjoyed more. You can add the beef for an extra charge, it's the regular braised beef, was just ok. I find it funny that their all food arts on the wall look nothing like the actual way they serve it.

Crispy popcorn chicken is a classic that's spicy, lightly fried, and crisp. It has an authenticity that other places around can't replicate and makes you keep craving more. The portions are also appropriate for their price. Service is incredibly quick, and you can order as you go and receive your dish within 10-15 minutes, regardless of how busy they are.
