    boat noodles
    Maddie V.

    I stopped by for a solo lunch, and enjoyed my meal so much! I tried the boat noodles, which were customizable and delicious. I ordered mine with rice noodles, boat soup, and shank beef. The chili oil here is soooo delicious (and very spicy!). The interior is beautifully designed, with a semi private room available for groups. The staff was so friendly and gave me some extra chili oil to go since I was raving about it. I will definitely be back, and am telling all my friends about this spot.

    Wrap plate with Pork

    Stopped in after seeing some great reviews. The sign outside was for the previous establishment, but there is a smaller sign denoting the new name of the restaurant. The decor of the restaurant is very inviting and upscale. We were seated right away and our server was friendly and efficient throughout. We decided on the Wrap plate with Pork. It was fresh and tasty and a generous portion. All of the veggies were very fresh and the server even offered additional veggies when we started to run out. Definitely a great addition to the area and I look forward to coming back to try some other options.

    I've been looking for a place that serves khao soi and finally found it! Don't be fooled by the funny name...they seriously have some GOOD FOOD here. I loved the soft deep house music vibes in the lobby and ambient lighting decor on the walls. There was even a neat motion wall. Overall, just good classy but laid back vibes, delicious food, and very friendly service. I even overheard several customers at other tables keep commenting "this is SO GOOD". Highly recommend to come try it. I will totally come back any time I'm in the Southlake area.

    I would come back. Here's what we ordered: - duck khao soi: the duck was prepared perfectly. Not dry at all. Very tender. Not a gimicky meat choice for a fantastic dish - Chicken tom yum: unique. Would get again. - Steak boat noodles: this was essentially Pho. Good nonetheless. The servers were kind but slow. It seemed there were only 2 people working on Easter Sunday evening. The restaurant has put in thought into the ambience they want to curate and we appreciated that. It isn't your hole in the wall Thai spot.

    Location (4/5): Corner spot in the same plaza as the Kroger. It was kind hard to spot since the sign was not very big. I was surprised how nice it looked inside compared to the exterior view. It had an overall relaxed/chill vibe to it. Food (5/5): Started with the curry puffs which was one of the best I've had. Really flaky and good amount of stuffing in them. Tried the Boat Noodle and Steak Khao Soi. Both were solid choices with them being very flavorful, good amount of protein in them, and just had an overall clean taste to them. Overall just a great experience with the food. I'll be going back to try the other dishes.

    Khao soi steak
    Elven B.

    A beautiful upper tier Thai restaurant. Feels new, clean, and trendy. We ordered the Khao soi, tom yum, and kra pow. All were excellent, deep, and flavorful. We're big Thai food fans and their style of cooking set itself apart from some of our favorites spots. I was impressed that the garnishes were served on the side. My wife doesn't like onions or cilantro and I love them, so being able to share with her, and then add them in for myself was appreciated. The crispy chili oil at the table left a positive impression on me as well. We'll be back to further explore the menu.

    Beef Nam tok , it's delicious!

    If you are craving flavorful boat noodles then Old Boy is the place to end your cravings. This spot has been home to a few other noodle shops in the past. The menu is noodles geared towards Thai cuisine. I will say for Thai food that the menu is above the average amount that you normally pay for Thai food, but I think the reason why is that it is in Southlake and the ambience is pretty fancy for a noodle shop. The service is very fast and knowledgeable about their menu which is always good. The food itself was pretty good. I enjoyed the appetizers and the boat noodles. This is probably a very good place for a romantic noodle dinner or a nice work lunch. I think I'll come back again for date night with the wife.

    Khao Soi
    Aqsa T.

    Really solid food and the service is great. I do miss Malacca, it's very difficult to find Malaysian food. The inside is basically the same and some of the staff is the same as well. The curry puffs weren't as authentic as I hoped but the beef bowl was very good. The khao soi was also spicier than I expected, I was surprised when the receipt said "non spicy". I think they'll have to tone it down a bit to cater it to the people in the area. Overall, great spot; but Malacca will be missed. Hoping they can open closer to Plano or Frisco, I think the cuisine would be more appreciated there than where it originally opened.

    Beef shank boat noodle
    Adrie S.

    I've been wanting to try this place with my bf for a while and I'm glad we were in the area to try it out. They opened a few months ago so Old Boy doesn't have a sign up yet but look for Malacca Cafe on the corner, right of Kroger. I like the vibe inside, it makes you forget you're in a Kroger plaza. The staff is super friendly and helpful with recommendations since we were newcomers. We've had our fair share of Thai food but there were still plenty we haven't tried/heard of. We got the curry puffs to start and a coffee cloud and nom yen (Thai pink drink). The curry puffs were soooo good. Packed with flavor, very fluffy with a sweet and sour sauce. The drinks were fun and refreshing. The nom yen was fruity and a little tangy, a flavor I've never had before. The coffee cloud was a coffee foam on top of coconut water with fresh coconut meat. Paired well with the heavier dishes. For our entrees, we ordered the beef shank boat noodle and duck khao soi. If you've never tried boat noodles before, it makes me think of a crossover of pho and beef noodle soup. Hearty but still light. I love the delicate tendon and meatballs too. Perfect for a rainy day. The khao soi was rich in flavor, and melded well with the crispy duck. Always a favorite dish of mine. We were already talking about the next time we'd come back cause there were so many things we wanted to try still. If you're in Southlake, give this spot a try!

    Noodle Garlic Fried Rice Kra Praw (Thai Basil)

    This is one of the best Thai restaurants I've been to in Dallas Tx The food tastes just like it does in Thailand. The chicken biryani was perfectly seasoned, flavorful, and cooked just right. The boat noodles were incredibly authentic, bringing back memories of eating them in Thailand. The grilled fish wraps with tamarind dipping sauce were absolutely outstanding--the sauce was the perfect balance of sweet, tangy, and savory. Every dish we ordered was delicious. The restaurant has a beautiful atmosphere with a trendy New York-style vibe, great music, and excellent service. What impressed me even more was how affordable the prices were for the quality and portion sizes. If you're craving authentic Thai food, I highly recommend this place. I'll definitely be coming back!

    Garlic Fried Rice
    Rachel S.

    This place is a winner. I have visited several times and it's always good. The beef boat noodles are my favorite. The green Thai tea is delicious, too. Give them a try!

    Garlic fried rice with chicken
    Conner F.

    This is a must try spot in Southlake located in the corner of the Kroger parking lot. The outside doesn't have signage yet, but the inside is well put together and clean. The service was great, the people who run old boy are kind and helpful. We tried the boat noodles and garlic fried rice. The proteins are good quality, the food is flavorful, and there is plenty on the menu to try. The fried rice might be the best I've had, if you don't mind some heat add some of the chili oil that's in the middle of the table! If you haven't tried Old Boy yet, give it a try it won't disappoint!

    Kra paw beef
    Kevon N.

    I've been hearing about this place for a while and finally got time to try it out. I didn't get a picture of the boat noodle but let me tell you it was probably my least favorite, the broth was too sweet and it had a coconut flavor not the best. I give it a 5/10. The beef kra paw was 7/10 but meat tasted cheap. The khao Soi probably the best thing was a 8/10. Portions were huge I will say and prices were not bad. The place was nice and comfortable super modern maybe I'll give them another chance in the future.

I was expecting the usual Thai-style wings stuffed with glass noodles and seasoned ground meat, so I was a little surprised when they came out as jumbo fried chicken wings glazed with lemongrass chili and topped with sesame seeds. I guess I should've read the description first before ordering. They were good, a bit on the sweet side, but just not my favorite. We also ordered the Thai pork tacos, which my husband really enjoyed, and the Lemongrass Beef, which was flavorful and nicely seasoned. The couple who were with us had been here fore and they ordered the same thing again: Panang. Urey Bowl and the Basil Vegetable Fried rice. They must've liked it, they ordered it again. The ambiance was pleasant, and I especially liked that they have a quieter area in the back of the restaurant. Service was prompt and attentive. Looking around at the other tables, the dishes all looked delicious and flavorful, so we'll probably be back to try some of the other offerings. Overall, a good first visit!

The menu was varied and the price is very reasonable. When I ordered the combination pho, apparently it comes with a rib, a bone with full of meat, which was only available when you dine-in. I loved it. I will definitely come back to My Lan Vietnamese Kitchen whenever I am close by.
