    Pad Kee Mao (Drunken Noodle) on top, Basil Fried Rice at the bottom
    Annie G.

    Came here for my birthday celebration. Love that you can veganize the menu by paying extra $1, haven't seen that before anywhere. They don't have any lunch specials but we were more excited about thier vegan options. The spring rolls were a little bland but decent. Man, the vegetarian spicy basil fried rice was amazing! Finely chopped vegetables, just how I like them. Very tasty. Thai tea & the noodles were good too. Would like to try thier curries sometime.

    I ordered from Nara before and thought it was pretty good but this last time I'm pretty shocked at what they charge and the portions they give. They charge 14 dollars for a curry that is about 1/2 the portion size of what I usually get at any other Thai restaurant. And for shrimp they charged me an extra 6 dollars and gave me 3 pieces of shrimp. I don't think I can ever order from this place again. It is a shame because the food tastes good but I can't justify paying 90 bucks for Thai food that is 1/2 portion sizes.

    We ordered from the Cypress location and have been extremely loyal however the past two times have been awful. We ordered the Orange Chicken (over cooked and only 11 tiny pieces and dry) fried rice (over cooked dry chicken and no flavor) and Pad Thai ( dry and had a very strange flavor) on top of all of that the portions were extremely small compared to what they use to be. Not pictured is the tofu they originally made for us and I had to drive over 45 min round trip and wait 15 min for my food. Extremely horrible experience, didn't once ask if they could compensate and refund our money. After the past two experiences I doubt we will be back after going to this spot for years.

    Great location, easy parking. Staffs are nice. Foods are okay, we like their mock duck, basil tofu and tomyam. Fried calamari were bad, the batter was too greasy and tasteless, the calamari was overcooked.

    Chicken Pad Thai Spice level 3
    Tee S.

    Food, service, and great cozy ambiance. Came in for dinner! We all got pad Thai with iced tea our usual order. Love that they customize the spice level to your liking!

    The food was delicious, service was excellent. The curry was rich and flavorful, with just the right amount of spice, and it brought me very close to the authentic Thai flavors I crave. We definitely will return!

    Five stars through Uber Eats delivery! We have ordered here multiple times and every time, it's been a hit. The food arrived still warm ~ so thanks Uber Eats. We always order Pad See Ew w/ chicken or beef, Orange Chicken w/ rice, crab puffs and sticky rice w/ custard. All the food that we ordered were flavorful and taste delish! We did pick spice level 3, it's the perfect amount of spice - spicy to have your nose running but still super edible! The sticky rice w/ custard - taste extremely fresh and not old rice. Will definitively continue to order from here. Nara Thai Dining & AnothaThai are my two go to Uber Eats restaurants to order from for Thai food in Cypress area.

    Basil Fried Rice with Beef. Would definitely order again.

    Great spot in the Cypress area!…read more The food was great! I don't think I had anything that I didn't like. I tried a few of my wife's sushi, chicken skewers, and some kind of dumplings she ordered, and I had the sizzling bulgogi kimchi plate. My plate came with a salad, which I wish came in a slightly bigger bowl, as it was starting to fall out. The bulgogi kimchi plate was delicious. There was a good amount of beef, and the crispy--possibly garlic or onions on top was a great addition. The amount of food on the plate was just right. I couldn't give it a full 5 stars because the service was only good when the server was actually there. I think there were 2, maybe 3 servers, with the restaurant about 70% full. We took some extra time to order, but it also took a while for someone to come back and take our order. It took a while to get a refill, and there were noticeable delays whenever we needed a server. The sushi had way too much sauce on it. It was overpowering the taste of the fish. Check the pic.

    Why 5 stars? Because this is such a great concept, and they do it well…read more --- --- --- I probably bookmarked this place 3+ years ago, but we are almost never in the area, and when we are, we're usually looking for a place we can dine in. But this was the perfect storm, where we were on the way home, and I needed to pick up dinner for later. My visit to 7Friday was finally gonna happen! I couldn't decide what to order because I wanted one of everything, so I just went with the two most popular items on the website: the salmon lover combo and the crunch combo. If you ever buy sushi from HEB, you know that it's usually pretty hardened by the time you eat it. This is a completely different experience. It tastes like it was made 5 minutes ago. Super fresh, like you're at a nice sushi spot. If we lived nearby, we would absolutely be hitting this up on a regular basis. The crazy high rating is well-deserved!

From customer service, to the quality versus price, not to mention the deliciousness of the food! I don't have a personal favorite nexus j really enjoy everything here. You should make your way to try the high quality slices of dish if you've been never been, have a fantastic meal without breaking the bank. It's a grab and go sushi shop. You can place your order online and pickup or come in and grab from their counters and shelves. There are counters at the front if you want to enjoy your meal on the spot. Otherwise, grab trays of goodies to take home and enjoy. They even have a drive through! Ask the staff and they can help you pick out some favorites. My recent trip was for the "I Dream of Nigiri" party tray to enjoy at a post holiday celebration. There was a total of 6 party trays and this one was the first to get devoured. I love the assortment of nigiri styles presented. The fish and ingredients were very fresh and definitely worth the one hour drive from the medical center. The joy on my friend's faces while eating confirmed for me that this was the right place to go. I always try to stop by when I'm in the area. Grab some of the bao or the masubi, or just a roll to try. You'll feel like it's worth your money!

Figured it would be too late for dinner after the show so I went before and am glad that I did! Easy to find on the east side of the outlet mall and right off of the old Hempstead Highway, now 290. I was there at 5:30 and only a few people inside dining or having a drink. My server was Everado and he was great. I ordered a glass of the Imagery Pinot Noir. I was in real luck as it was Happy Hour with some great discount prices on several of their appetizers, sushi and sashimi. I decided to try the soft shell crab appetizer and it came out so quickly. It was crispy and super fresh, perfectly paired with the wine I had ordered. I love Japanese restaurants like this, especially when they aren't supper busy. You can take your time, order a thing or two and peruse the menu and pick something else at your leisure. My next treat was one of their "signature appetizers" and it was great, what was described on the menu as a tuna and salmon martini! Wow, it tasted as good as it looked and not only had fresh sashimi slices of tuna and salmon but also meaty escolar. In the center was a creamy mix of wasabi, ginger topped with some tobiko, the small orange fish roe. Talk about a real culinary treat! Next up was a special house roll called the Pink Lover Roll which was a roll with chopped spicy salmon, tuna, yellow tail, tempura jalapeno and avocado with spicy mayo, eel sauce and honey wasabi. The portion was huge and really could have fed 2 people. I enjoyed it but found the sauces over the top a bit too much. It was spice but not too hot. Glad I tried it but would opt for something different next time and surely not as large! Last thing ordered was the Hibachi Combo Yakisoba dinner entree. Had it not been for the large previous roll I ate I would have devoured this as it was fresh off the hibachi grill and full of shrimp and beef as well as a lively assortment of crisp vegetables. It came with a pleasant miso soup, the perfect thing between courses. Alas, I ended up taking half of my yakisoba home for a future lunch. The restaurant is nicely decorated, very clean and sharp. You can sit at at table, booth or at the bar, I chose a table. Restrooms were clean and easy to find. In the end my lovely dinner was just under $100 plus a 20% tip for great service so not a place you might go to casually in regard to cost but still worth the trip as everything was fresh and well presented.
