The food was good. If you like spicy food like I do, be careful. The levels of spicy can be a bit deceiving. I can tolerate much spicier food than most Texans, but their Thai level spicy had my face turning red and my Viet wife couldn't finish her Thai level spicy. I think next time I would order the American spicy. Restaurant seems pretty clean. They could use some updating on the decor. read more

I Love it!! I'm so happy that a Thai and sushi place open near my home. Great service. Great sushi, dessert is great. Definitely planning to become a regular here. read more

Another excellent neighborhood restaurant. Love their "Thai hot" salmon/tuna hand rolls.

I got food poisoning immediately i stood up and leave restaurant. Felt dizzy, wanna vomit andd bla bla . The first time it was not let me down. But this time, i will never be back read more

I ate here a few weeks ago with my mom and we LOVED it. The egg drop soup is awesome and the fried rice is amazing. The service was decent. I would definitely come again when I'm in the area. read more

I am so happy to have a restaurant of this calibre near me. It is one of my favorite nearby haunts. For the longest time, this space was a string of failed Chinese buffets. But with the new owners and cook, they have found their footing and are making excellent food. I've enjoyed every meal I've had here. Strongly recommend the curries (the red and the green are two of my favorites) and the Pad Thai is HUGE! Usually end up taking some home to eat later. Oh, and don't forget the mango sticky rice - YUM! Good service, too - very friendly staff. read more

I really wish I would have read through more reviews. I went around lunch time so it was busy. Because it was busy my waiter (who was the manager) felt as tho it was okay not to greet me and rush me to order. I had the red curry and it was gross. Maybe a curry eater would appreciate the flavor but it just didn't do it for me. The salad dressing had too much of a peanut flavor in the vinaigrette and the egg roll was tiny! The yellow curry soup was a good starter but it was totally redundant to have red curry when the soup of the day was yellow curry. Weird menu. Houston has too many great restaurants with great service to waste your money and time on mediocrity. read more

I picked this place because of the reviews and bc it was in between where my sister and I live. I absolutely loved this place and will be going there again! I got the vegan maki it was delicious. My sister and her husband also had great things to say about this place. read more

Hands down the best Thai I've had in a long time. A more well known and often lauded Thai place down Longpoint has gone SO far downhill as to be not worth the time and money. But Thai Jin has been consistently fabulous. All three curries are amazing. I'm partial to the green, but the red and yellow are both awesome as well. The curries have a lot of meat and veggies and have never been watery or oily. The pad thai is boss. They wrap the whole thing in a fried egg. Seriously, we probably pick up from this place twice a week now and I don't see that changing. Huge Fan. Big. Huge! read more

As soon as we walked in, the smell was unbearable. It smelled like a nail salon. It was so strong. Only one other person was eating in the whole restaurant, well him, and the cook standing behind the sushi counter. I didn't get a good vibe from this place. The man that seated us was polite. But as I sat there, all I could think about was my nose burning from the smell. We decided to leave before we even ordered anything to drink. I feel bad writing this, but wow. I don't know if they are sharing the air vents with the actual nail salon next door, or if they just use extremely potent cleaning fluids, but the smell was bad enough that I couldn't imagine trying to eat anything there. Who knows, maybe the food is great. That's why we came in the first place. It's a shame it smelled so bad. read more

Disappointed. Not going back. Food was great the first time I went there but terrible on my latest visit. No Thanks. read more

I have come here for the one and only the PadThai noodles! It's my favorite here! But when I get tired of it I get the lettuce wrap and that is really! These are my recommendations. I have try other food that they have and it was "ok" I only liked those two that I mentioned. Service was fine. Thank you read more

Food was not good. Service was nonexistent, yet employees everywhere. Ordered pad Thai off the lunch menu. I would suggest passing on the soup, salad, and fried spring roll that are included with meal. Pad Thai tasted like something from microwave dinner with bitter and sour notes. Sorry, just being honest. I let the manager know it was some of the worst food I've ever eaten then happily paid. read more

Used to love this place but I think they may be trying to penny pinch and you can certainly tell in the quality of the food. I've been known to come in a get 4orders of their cheese rolls cuz I loved them so. Now? Less cream cheese, barely warm and little to no crab in sight. Sushi rice isn't fresh and seems like that wretched stuff u find at Chinese buffets now. I'll pass. read more

One day, shopping at the HEB next door, I noticed a sign popped up saying "Thai & Sushi" (No official sign yet as of 04/11/13. They've been open for only 5 days). Being of Thai-heritage and also a sushi lover, it definitely caught my attention. I don't think there's any other Thai or a sushi place in this part of Spring Branch...so it filled both voids! The question is...is it good? Aside from Thai and sushi, the menu also has Chinese and other Japanese dishes. But since I was drawn in by the "Thai & Sushi", the strategy was to try something Thai and then a sushi dish. But before that, and since I'm a sucker for it, I had to try the Cheese Rolls from the appetizer selection. It started our lunch off really well. The plum sauce complimented the rolls really well. So for the Thai food, we had the Drunken Noodle. It was nothing special but it was still as good as any other typical Thai restaurants around town. Since we are Thai, we did chat with them a bit and they did admit that the taste is aimed a bit more toward the "Americanized" palette (which is understandable because this area is not full of us Thais anyways). So for those who really know Thai food, you won't get the full exotic flavors of Thailand (for that, go to Asia Market by downtown). But this doesn't mean its bad. For the sushi, we ordered the Hokido from the Specialty Rolls section. I just have to say that it is "solid"...I liked it very much. But then the waitress suggested that we try their Sticky Rice with Mango for dessert. So we said OK and I am glad. Now this one tasted like "home"...just like the ones you can find in Thailand. Very good, and the mango is perfectly sweet. The toasted sesame seeds added a nice texture to it as well. Overall, the food is GOOD. Oh and the plating is nice too. In our Drunken Noodle, they had the traditional Thai carved side vegetables (in shape of flower). So they put a lot of "love" into their food. Other things: -Customer service was GREAT...they are very friendly. -The place had nice modern decor and looks very clean. (You wouldn't think it if you were looking from outside and esp since it's by HEB...at least I didn't) -Mostly Thai staff (feels authentic...haha) Like the other reviewer, I too, hope they stay here for a long time. I am so glad there's finally a place where I can get some good Thai food & sushi down the street. read more

I ordered vegetarian pad thai and vegetarian crispy/spring rolls. The rolls were great but the pad thai was disgusting. It was way too saucy, sweet, and had barely any egg in it. I won't be returning to dine here. read more

Very good food at a good price. My colleagues and I have been going here for years and staff has always been friendly and the food consistently good. Worth a visit. read more

Excellent Thai food. Best I've had in US. Really appreciated the owner who seemed very concerned we had a great meal. Grilled Tilapia was excellent. Also had Pad Thai, Drunken Noodles, and lettuce wraps again best I've ever had. Highly recommend this place read more

I've been to this restaurant several times but I've been procrastinating on placing a review for this place. The service has always been good. The waiters are attentive and seem to care about how my dining experience is going. I always order the yellow curry (superman spicy level) and the chicken pad thai. I've been here during lunch and dinner. The lunch prices are actually pretty decent. For the price, they give decent sized portions for lunch time. The decor of the restaurant is typical Asian fare. However, the food is the star of the show. The yellow curry is delicious. My brother cries that it is too spicy but I love it. I always make sure I bring home extra so that I can consume it with my homecooked brown and white rice. The chicken pad thai is cooked well. The bean sprouts are fresh. The sauce is very unique. I highly recommend it for people that can't eat spicy. People with peanut allergies should beware though. Out of all the Houston Thai places, this ranks pretty highly on my list. read more

On a trip to Houston an used Yelp to find this place. Quite a nice surprise. Rarely does a combination Thai, Sushi, Chinese place execute well. This is a lovely place. Very friendly and efficient service. Food was very good. Sushi was fresh and presented on ice cubes to keep cool while eating. Curry heat is on a 1 to 6 scale with 6 being hottest. I like hot but got a 2. That was plenty hot and it allowed the flavor of the food to still come through. When in the area again we will be back. read more

We went there last Friday night. It was so good! The staff was very friendly. Can't wait to go back.

This was my first dinner as a houston resident & I'm happy to report it was a great experience! I love that they serve Thai, Japanese & Chinese food..great place when you're indecisive on what kinda food u want cause you can have a little of everything. Please try the shaggy dog sushi roll, it's amazing! I'll be back soon read more

This is, in my opinion, the BEST sushi place in town. And after having the Pad Thai, I won't eat Pad Thai anywhere else. You can get the heat level that you prefer and the service is phenomenal. I highly recommend Thai Jin to anyone wanting great quality food. read more

I heard about this place through a coworker and decided to try it out for lunch. Nice, quint atmosphere and appears to be a popular lunch spot for professionals. I ordered the yellow curry lunch special and my coworkers had the pad Thai and various other curry. I would definitely recommend any of the curry! They were all delicious ! The lunch special comes with a small salad , miso soup and Vietnamese egg roll so it is a good portion of food. The pad Thai was so so but still up there with what I have tried. possible would have been better with tofu rather than chicken? Either way, I will definitely be back again ! read more

Above average Thai restaurant. The food is excellent. Pad Thai is recommended, and is a unique dish at this restaurant. Quality of all ingredients, particularly fresh vegetables, meat, and raw seafood is good. I would say the only bad thing is that the servers don't stop by your table much so you end up waiting a little. But once your order is placed things go quickly. Establishment is run by owners attentive to the needs of the customers. Also calling in for pick-up can be tricky but relatively convenient. Parking situation is good. Overall the few negatives are outweighed by some of the best Asian food in the Spring Shadows/Branch area. read more

Really decent food at good prices. $10, including tip, for a lunch I couldn't fault. When you start with a Tom Kha as good as that, a nice little tasty salad, and then move on to something called Garlic On Fire, you *must* be in a happy place... I really like the novelty of the menu having icons indicating items coming from China, Japan or Thailand. Only thing I could fault was the 30 minute wait after I ordered. Fair warning if you're used to going to the chinese buffet restaurants that usually inhabit this space, this is an a la carte menu only, at least for lunch. They look to still have a bit of buffet space, but it wasn't set up when I went to lunch on 4/12/13. read more

I noticed a sign about Thai restaurant opening soon in the HEB strip mall, Gessner @ Kempwood. I love Thai food so I couldnt wait. Finally weeks later the restaurant opened. I was impressed by the decor, especially in a strip mall. Well, I ordered my favorite, Chicken Pad Thai wth tofui. Well, I was a little disappoined.. I received tofu with chicken with mostly noodles. But after reading reviews on the site, I decided to give it another try on Mother's Day. I was VERY impressed. I ordered Chicken Pad Thai and Green Curry. My order cost just under $20.00. Very reasonable for the quality and quantity of the food.. I couldn't believe my order came from the same restaurant. Glad I gave the restaurant another try. Cant wait to ordered/enjoy again. read more

I came during lunch, and It was dead.. But my husband and I decided to try just because of the high ratings on yelp! ... And it was so worth it! I tried the pineapple curry.. And it was soooo good! Pad Thai was also yummy! I only tried their thai food section.. Just cause I was never into Chinese food.. I find it bland and boring! But definitely this place rocks! Their specialyty sushi is Also good! read more

Friendly staff and great food, very decorated sushi most authentic Thai food you can get!

First time here, my wife liked it, service is good, we liked the food, we picked spicy basil, just the vegetables and it was delicious, spicy salmon sushi was good, the place is nice and quiet, we really like this place so will come back read more

Delicious and fresh! Everything we have tried so far is so good and fresh,...The Mardi Gras and Shaggy Dog Sushi Rolls are the bomb and the orange chicken is soo flavorful and yummy! We have eaten there and taken out and it's delicious either way! You gotta try it! read more

We were regulars at Thai Jinn during lunch time due to the fact it had decent food even though they were understaffed. The service wasn't great and couple of times the order we had placed didn't arrive until it was time to leave, we still gave benefit of doubt to the staff who were overwhelmed during lunch hour. Even after subpar service we usually left 20% or more tip for our servers. We noticed when the owner was around he would ask his servers to get customers seated promptly. Last week however the owner wasn't around. The place was chaotic and line formed till the front door entrance. After waiting 15 mins there were couple of women behind us who decided to cut the line and find an empty spot. They were immediately brought the menu by the servers. Even though we were not happy about the behavior we were in no mood for confrontation so just waited for our turn. We finally got seated once we called the front desk and waived at them to help us find a seat. After waiting additional 15 mins we were brought the menu. We brought to the attention of our server that there was "a group who cut the line and they got served before us and we would like to talk to the manager ONCE we are done". The idea was to let him know that they have a sign in front door which says please wait to be seated. However, due to long wait time ppl were leaving or cutting the wait line. As a business owner, I personally wanted to tell him that his team was doing an ok job but he should get some help during weekday lunch time atleast. That was the only intention. Unfortunately, the white server replied by saying "so you want to talk to talk to the manager huh? alright then..." Even though we told him we want to order first but the person refused to listen any further and walked over to the next table to take the order. Couple of minutes later he returned and said "You guys won't get served so its best if you leave". Initially, we felt bad for ourselves because of this employee's rude behavior but then we realized how bad it was for the owner of a small business whose employee is running away customers just because he is afraid that he won't get tipped or simply because he is overwhelmed and can't handle stress. I have worked as a server before and would never blame the server for the wait time. Also, even if I did, I would never inform the server in advance that I am going to talk to your manager once I am done with my meal. Anyways, I am not going back there again. Everyone's experience might be different but thanks to yelp atleast we have a voice and opportunity to explain our side of the story. We were wrongfully kicked out of a restaurant by a server who refused us service once we requested him that we would like to speak to his manager once we are done. Not cool at all. read more

We found this place by checking Yelp reviews. Hidden gem in Spring Branch! Food is very fresh and good. I recommend the pad Thai with beef. The sushi rolls are also delicious. Mostly pick up to go but have eaten inside the restaurant and it's very clean. read more

I live in the area so it's close by when I'm craving asian food. The service was great. Super friendly staff and always made sure we were taken cared of. The food comes in good size portions and usually have lots left over for another meal for the next day. I had the Japanese curry chicken and its fairly decent. The chicken is crunchy and there's a good amount of curry sauce with veggies to go with it. Although the few times my sister and I went, it wasn't busy at all and sometimes we were the only ones in there which isn't a bad thing. read more

Came in for lunch today. Told I could get the lunch special since the restaurant was closed earlier this week because of the hurricane. Order the garlic on fire, chicken. It was okay. Entirely too many mushrooms and corn. But I ate it since I was hungry. Once I finished I found a strange string on my plate. I won't be coming back here. read more

LOVE the green curry with tofu and the vegan sushi! So good! And the service was wonderful - very friendly and fast. We'll be back, without a doubt. read more

A Thai-Japanese fusion restaurant serving big portion! The special fried rice that I ordered came in a huge plate for the price - they added green beans and onion along with the kind of meat you picked in the special fried rice. Tastewise, it was pretty good - but everybody commented on how big the portions were. None of us ordered the Japanese food, so can't comment on that, but the Thai food is pretty good. read more

Used to love this place. Yellow curry soup WAS our favorite. Wife found this little critter in the soup. Charged us full price anyway. Never going back. Damnit. read more

If I could give this place 0 stars I would. I was extremely disappointed and irritated. Took my fam here for Father's Day based on the insane 5 stars. There was absolutely nobody in the restaurant. Our table of 8 literally waited an hour for our food. The wait was so ridiculously long, we kept asking how much longer. Everything was terrible except for the shrimp fried rice. Spicy Catfish, Tilapia, Calamari, Egg Drop Soup, Sesame Chicken, and Papaya Salad were all not great. They gave us a wack 10% off our bill for the wait and 2 free desserts of fried icecream which also were not edible. NEVER coming here again. I feel so bad bringing my family here. read more

This was very delicious, service was speedy and they even threw in a free salad. The owner was friendly and we had a good time, will definitely come back. read more
