I was recommended to Thail Lily Cafe. I was very dissatisfied with the food prices and the taste of my meals. I purchased "steamed vegetable" at a price of $7.95 and received a cup serving. I can purchase Asian Stir Fry Vegetable at Dollar Tree for $1.50 and receive three servings. The cafe inside stated short on staff; they are serving short on food to the customers. "First impression is the last impression". I will not be returning to the Thai Lily Cafe and will not recommend it to anyone. read more

Ordered here via DoorDash. I was impressed by the number of not only vegetarian options but also the variety of gluten free options. I ordered the pad woon sen. It was absolutely delicious! I would definitely order it again. I also ordered the curry. Unfortunately it was not as favorable as I imagined and vegetables were very tough. The gluten free crispy spring roll good but I would not order again. Give this place a try if you are looking for tasty Thai food. read more

What an AMAZING, I mean just incredible place to sit down and eat. Food is phenomenal, seasoned, any spice level you like (1-5) is worth it. Veggie egg rolls are amazing well seasoned, customer service is wholesome. Thank You Thai Lily Cafe. Pen read more

I honestly don't care to come here for pad thai anymore because I'd rather go to Iyara for it bc it's better there. But I recently got into Pad Woon Sen. I do love the Pad Woon Sen here. I got it at spice level 1. It was really good. A few other things I tried... Pineapple Fried Rice - 3/5 lack of pineapples and flavor Thai Tea - 3/5 Way too sweet. Coconut Cream Rice Pudding - 4/5 A little too sweet even for desert. Pad Woon Sen - 5/5 Perfection read more

This cozy, unassuming restaurant in a strip mall serves amazing Thai food. The staff is kind and attentive, and the prices are very reasonable, with generous portions and great lunch specials. Pad Kee Mao is flavorful with a distinct wok aroma, the curries have perfect consistency and taste, and the Tom Kha and Tom Yum soups are warm and comforting. read more

It's been awhile since I have ordered from here and I did recommend this restaurant to many of my friends who enjoy spicy food. Unfortunately, I left disappointed. I know they're short staff and I know I may have ordered at an odd time (9:30-10ish PM on a weekend) but I'm just disappointed in taste. Forget the price, forget they're short staff, forget the mom and pop interior design... let's just focus on the food quality. Basil fried rice lacked in basil flavor. It's one of the worst basil fried rice I had in an extremely long time. Roti by itself and no soup on the side? This is the only restaurant that does this with no cup of soup. I wasn't expecting a lot but give me something. Otherwise, what's the point of ordering it if I didn't order any curry dishes? Now, my biggest disappointment... chicken pad Thai. Lacked in flavor and had a weird aftertaste. Maybe I didn't noticed it before since it was much spicier. Lacked in spice. Not sure if I will be back. On the bright side, it was simple to just order on the Yelp app and got my food on time. read more

Back again! Food is still great! This time i have pics! I got the pad ke mao with pork and my husband got the pad ke mao with shrimp again. My son got the orange chicken; not my favorite, but both he and my husband liked the crisp and the different sauce! The crispy spring rolls were excellent as usual, and we tried the Thai chicken wings tonight. Wonderfully crisp, hot and juicy, with delicious seasoning and a little bit of tang at the end. Satisfied once again! read more

I've been coming to Thai Lily for more 10 years. Even though we have moved far away, we still stop by a few times a year to have our favorite Thai food. The staff (Pen & BJ) have watched my son grow from a child to an adult. We love coming here and the food is always amazing!!! Now they have gluten free options for those with dietary restrictions. My mom's favorites are panang curry and Thai omelet. My son's favorites are shrimp in a blanket and cheese rolls. My favorites are papaya salad, fried pompano and pad thai. read more

We are just visiting the Houston area and happened to be by Thai Lily Cafe. My wife, son, and I decided to grab some food. We were greeted and seated immediately. Despite the signs apologizing for short staff and possible slow service, we did not experience a long wait at all. We received our drinks and food in a reasonable amount of time. My wife got the yellow curry, my son some chicken fried rice, and I had some chicken Pad Thai. All came out looking fresh and delicious! The food was great, service was nice, and the sweet jazz music and dim lights made my son feel fancy! read more

I was randomly craving some Thai food today so I googled the closet place to be with decent reviews. I was greeted my a lady who I presume to be the owner and she was so sweet. The establishment was very quaint and tidy and there wasn't very many people so you can sit wherever (although I got my food to go) I ordered a combination pad Thai ( chicken, pork and beef) and one chicken egg roll. My pad Thai was level 2 spicy (on their scale of 1-5). I didn't find it spicy at all. I appreciate that the food was hot and fresh but I have to be completely honest, my pad Thai had absolutely no flavor. Like none. When I got home, I legit had to add more salt, chili pepper, seasoning and soy sauce to it to enjoy it. Also my noodles at the bottom of the plate was a bit stuck together. I guess my craving was satisfied enough after I spiced it up a bit. read more

I've been patronizing this establishment for about five years. I love their crab fried rice and chicken wings. Both are flavorful however, while they do use real crabmeat and not the imitation, the amount has decreased significantly. I do understand the cost increase of food, that's why I understand the price increase. If I'm paying more I would like to receive the same amount of crab meat. Good help is hard to find and they are often short staffed That being said, David has amazing customer service and kept me informed of my orders progress. read more

Thai Lily Cafe - Drunken noodles(top), pad ke mao, Tom kha chicken - Thai Near Me - Houston, Texas

Ordered pad see ew vegan but at 10pm so maybe this is the reason it wasn't good. I received the order and it was a small order but I am not from Houston so maybe it's possible that this is the size order. I am going with the assumption that since it was 10pm but the broccoli pieces were so small and few, the noodles were stuck together, the tofu was so very salty. This was not good at all. I forgot to take a photo and I normally do but since it was later at night I just threw it away. It wasn't good at all. read more

As someone that has gluten allergies, I was so happy to know they had my favorite items gluten free! It was the best I have ever had so far. The service was smooth and nice.

NOTE: This was my first order with this restaurant ever. At 10:49 pm on July 14th, I placed an order (through DoorDash) for a very simple order of Beef Fried Rice. I added a fried egg, pineapple and extra beef.... totaling $20.90 for the fried rice alone. Then I ordered the cheese rolls (basically cream cheese egg/spring rolls that comes with a sauce of some kind. All I revived was the fried rice, and the cream cheese rolls eye actually the first thing I saw that attracted me to this restaurant. It wasn't until after contacting Door Dash support about the missing cheese rolls that I noticed my egg was missing and the fried rice had almost no beef in it all....I paid $3.00 for the extra beef, $2.00 for the pineapple and $1.95 for the egg. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY ON THIS RESTAURANT. For what it's worth (because I was very hungry) I did eat the fried rice and it was pretty damn good. But for $20.90 I feel I should've received a bigger portion of rice AND all of my ingredients should've been included. But I'm serious, if I added up all the beef in my fried rice it would've equaled 2 teaspoons, MAYBE. I uploaded pics to the DoorDash review, but they didn't save to my phone. read more
