    Mango Sticky Rice
    Zai A.

    I love That food and I always compare every Thai restaurant to the Thai food I've had in Thailand. A lot miss the mark but I will say Thai Chef is a must try. The service was A1 the waitress was very attractive and made a recommendation when I was torn between options. The restaurant is a nice size considering it is in a plaza. I ordered the seafood combination curry (Thai spicy) it was flavorful. The seafood was cooked perfectly. It was so good that I didn't even take a picture . When it came to dessert I couldn't pick so I had two: mango sticky rice and flan. Definitely suggest giving them a try.

    Drunken noodles with jalapeños

    I ate here and had a great experience. I ordered the egg drop soup and drunken noodles. Both dishes were excellent. I was a little apprehensive about the jalapeños in the drunken noodles as that's not typically an ingredient. I was surprised by how well it fit together with the dish and I was very happy to have ordered the drunken noodles, including the jalapeños. The service was quick and the restaurant was quiet enough that I could talk, but not dead silent. I was happy with my choice at restaurants and would highly recommend you try this sometime.

    It was busy, there was a lot of people. We had to wait a bit until being seated, but not too long. The food was fresh and everything was decent. I wasn't a fan of the Austin deep fried sushi rolls, BUT their regular sushi rolls (which came with the bento box were delicious). I had miso soup, but forgot to take a photo because I devoured it.. it tasted perfect! In terms of ambiance, the restaurant is a bit small, and maybe a bit crowded. Their high chairs are not typical sturdy wooden restaurant ones, and I felt a bit paranoid with my baby in it (because it has 4 individual legs, and if someone trips on the high chair they might take your baby down with them). Overall, a decent place to go, closer and more convenient than my favorite Japanese place in San Antonio. I think I'd prefer to take it out rather than dine in, but I would recommend it.

    Pretty standard Thai strip center restaurant in Texas. Nice decor, friendly and very attentive service. Music on was fantastic. Pad Thai was ok. Skimpy on protein (chicken). Beer was cold

    A very small restaurant off FM78 between Schertz and Cibolo. The service was very nice and quite helpful. We started with the papaya salad. The fish sauce was a little heavy. The fruit with veggies came in rather large chunks with a side of romaine lettuce leaves. Might have been meant to be a lettuce wrap but it did not work well. Now ... the Pho and massaman were AMAZING. The veggie pho was full of lots of veggies ... amount and variety. The broth was savory. The massaman had a deep curry sauce ... a little heat that slowly built. Packed with chicken, potatoes and cashews ... rice on the side. The sauce was creamy and the dish was aromatic ... curry, cardamom, and cinnamon.

    By mistake I ended up at this restaurant. Never heard of it before. I had to follow my friend with a damaged tire to this side of town and stumbled upon it. We were starving! The place is packed! It is a smaller restaurant and every single table is occupied which made me even more curious to try it out. The waitresses are super friendly and the tables are so close to each other we started chatting with our neighbors. Everyone is praising the food. We get a curry, pad Thai, spring rolls and a couple other appetizers. To my surprise the food was delicious! I will definitely be back when I am on this side of town

    Thanks Rose for your great customer service and kindness.

    Great food and service with a smile Rose and Brandon were outstanding. I plan to return.

    I can't seem to find phonon their menu but many previous customers have purchased it and loved it. Is it named something else on the menu? Perhaps I looked at an older menu but can't seem to find the pho. Hmmm.

    I'd be really surprised if they'd taken it off te menu. The had 3 or 4 different types. I've only had the meatball pho, but it was outstanding. The staff and he owner are really friendly, just give them a call if you have any questions.

Light dish. Tc double cheese burger: very strong flavors, somewhat sweet. Dense/heavy dish . Our waiter was quick and friendly. The restaurant lighting was dimmed and gave a more intimate /bar environment. I think the ac was broken here because it was very warm and they had fans going on around the room. I think this place would be good for someone who is prefers an American fusion cuisine that leans heavily on the western style dishes. The fusion elements were cute but I still left unsatisfied but still full. We did not park. We walked here right from the river walk. Not a bad place to go if you arrive in town after 9 pm.

Looking back, we probably should have expected that the "fusion" aspect just wasn't going to be for us. I ordered the Gogi Combo Bowl with both BBQ beef and chicken. Instead of tasting like Korean BBQ, it tasted much more like teriyaki. Unfortunately, both the beef and chicken were very overcooked, making the texture dry and unpleasant. The cucumber kimchi was also disappointing. It had so much cilantro that it completely overpowered the dish. It didn't taste like kimchi at all. My husband couldn't even finish his meal, and we ended up throwing away all of our leftovers, which is something we rarely do. The only reason I'm giving it 3 stars instead of lower is because the restaurant itself was fairly clean and the staff was pleasant. Unfortunately, the food just wasn't for us, and I wouldn't return or recommend it based on our experience.

    This restaurant's version of Thai food was extremely disappointing…read more If the dishes were at least somewhat close to authentic Thai food, I could understand. But these weren't even close. We ordered the chicken satay and larb (laab). The "chicken satay" was simply a whole chicken breast served with a coconut sauce. Calling it Thai chicken satay is honestly embarrassing. Authentic Thai chicken satay is marinated in coconut milk, curry powder or yellow curry paste, turmeric, coriander, cumin, garlic, fish sauce, and palm sugar. It develops its signature yellow color and sweet-savory flavor before being grilled on skewers. Please look at the picture and judge for yourself. The larb was also disappointing. It was so sweet it tasted more like a dessert than larb. Authentic larb should be: * Tangy from lime juice * Savory from fish sauce * Fresh from herbs * Spicy from chilies * Slightly nutty from toasted rice powder Instead, it lacked the bright, bold flavors that make larb one of Thailand's most famous dishes. It was disappointing to see two simple and well-known Thai dishes prepared so far from their authentic flavors. I understand that restaurants sometimes adapt recipes to local tastes, but when a restaurant advertises itself as Thai, I expect dishes that at least resemble the flavors and preparation of traditional Thai food.

It had maybe four pieces of spongy, tough tofu. Very soupy. Bland flavor. Not at all what I expected in a curry. Such a small entree. Rice was maybe 1/4 of a cup on the side. Paid $17 and change. Not at all worth it. Was very disappointed with the dish in general. The service was fine at the counter. I was welcomed and greeted by the cashier. The restaurant was completely empty on a Saturday early evening. That should've tipped me off. It was an over the phone order though. I would've maybe paid $9 for what I got. Tried it once. Wont be back again. Won't recommend.
